Only if you want to delete a file in the \Windows folder there is no auto-refresh of the folder after deleting.

=> copy a file to windows folder and delete it => the folder view does not auto-refresh but the file is deleted.

E.g. if I delete a file in my \provxml folder there is a auto-refresh...

@Heathcliff:

I think a possible way to set the "MaxUnsignedApps" flag is using provxml method.

For example if a carrier changes your mms settings over the air provxml method is used via wap push sms.

How does this work ?

The carrier sends a SI or SL xml file as wap push sms to your device and the device downloads and executes the file which will make the changes in the registry.

I think on a non-branded phone it should be possible to send such a file over the air, on a branded phone probably it´s blocked by security settings.

Creating a SI or SL xml file isn´t a big deal, it´s described in the MSDN documentation but how to send it ?

Cheers

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Many phones are capable of sending "raw" SMS that can be customized as needed. I know it's possible on Android, and I believe you can do it on WinMo and Maemo as well. For that matter, it's probably possible by writing an app that uses a homebrew COM DLL to hook into the SMS DLL on WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I updated the opening post with a lot more background info.

Ciao,

Heathlciff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Great background info! "Interop-unlocked" is a good term for it on Mango. I hadn't realized it was the MaxUnsignedApps key; I thought it was the Prevent Relock one. Interesting... though you still want Prevent Relock or the phone will reset MaxUnsignedApps periodically. Of course, I'm now wondering if that reset functionality can be exploited (via a proxy, for example) to instead apply interop-unlock to devices that don't have it.

One small typo though: "the ChevronWP7 team will release an unlock-method that will only cost a few bugs ..."
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
This would be nice, hoewever dont get your hopes up. Since MS probably does not want piracy they will set the max unsigned apps not to unlimited.

What I thought is that this setting was intended for manufactures and ms to make native apps, without the need to deploy them first trough the marketplace (so they can be debugged directly). However hopefully you are right and chevron will just allow the max apps.

Hello :D

If you're interested in a tester for HTC I got my HD2 with Yuki-XBoxmod's v2 ROM available :)

Anything to help and I'm not that afraid of f-ing it up a bit softwarewise :P

Regards :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
LOL! :p Typo corrected.

The proxy won't work. The original Chevron unlock tool works like a proxy. It spoofs the developer registration server. In NoDo this was not possible anymore because the certificate for the https server is specifically verified against a root authority. This means the server can't be spoofed anymore, unless you add your own server certificate in the CA store of the phone. This can be done with WP7 Root Tools, but you have WP7 Root Tools running there is no need to unlock anymore.

Ciao,

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
I wonder if it would be possible to push a wap provisioning file OTA to the device. I still wonder how exactly the dev tools unlock you device, do they also push a provxml file to the device? Since providers can send those messages I wonder how this would be possible on an unbranded device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Well, I've been looking into this a while back. In the end it seemed I was looking at the wrong notification system. Read these posts: Post 1, Post 2, Post 3 and Post 4.

I saw there were possibilities to do provxml through push notifications. So I completely hacked MSPN with a man-in-the-middle-attack. But then I found out that the provxml was for a different push-notification system. It was for WAP push sms, not for MSPN.

Anyway, look here:

HKLM\Security\PushRouter\Registrations\ByCTAndAppId\;x-wap-application:syncml.dm

and here:

HKLM\Security\PushRouter\Registrations\ByGenericId\PC5

Maybe raw-sms is the answer. Look here for more info.

Be my guest and figure it out. I'm too busy for it right now, working on WP7 Root Tools and some other things...

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
Heathcliff: I've read your initial post with the updated information. It's a perfect description of what seems possible right now! It would be nice if the mods could pin it so all developers could use the same language to describe the different unlocks. I'll write them and ask for it :)

Regarding the raw sms or push idea: the key you provided is used for syncml. Thats only used for synchronizing adressbook and calendar items, not necessarily any device specific configurations.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I beg to differ...

SyncML == OMA DM Provisioning

Ok, I'm persuaded :o Didn't know about that part. SyncML was always for the synchronization in my head, but it seems to be to much more capable :D

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Dude, you misunderstand! There IS a certificate installer. There is just no Certificate Store Viewer yet. You can launch the installer from the file-explorer by browsing to a .cer file. For example, you have ChevronWP7.cer somewhere on your phone. Browse to the file and tap on it... Tadaaaa!! There's your certificate installer. Not trying to fool you with a screenshot. You really CAN install the certificates!

Would it be, somehow, possible to replace ROM files?

Under Windows mobile this was easy, copied-over file had precedence over ROM file, but this does not seem to work under WP.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Unfortunately not possible. This can only be done with a ROM Update. But this is only possible when you have an unlocked bootloader. So it's not possible on Samsungs.

Heathcliff74, could you please add a simple text/xml editor to the app? It will be VERY useful in some cases ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
You mean for when you tap an xml file in the file-explorer? I'll see what I can do.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Exactly! Simple multiline TextBox will be good. BTW, if you already have/know a good editor component for SL (4 example, with hex edit capabilities), it will be much better (you can assign to the long tap not only xml but any file) - RootTools become more "hackfull" :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
It's possible to "edit" pretty much any file by opening it in Word. TouchXplorer and Advanced Explorer (HTC filesystem browsers) offer this capability.

It's also possible to associate Word with other filetypes, for example I can open a .LOG file sent from work on my phone just by tapping the attachment in Outlook. I believe the registry changes needed to do this are posted in the long thread on useful registry tweaks.

Those that updated to Mango, were developer unlocked, and got locked down again after the update (that's not a problem, re-register your phone with AppHub), but most and most importantly app limit was revoked, is there any solution?

Other than that of hard resetting or uninstalling app till reaching 9 or less?

I suppose a possible solution could be updating Root Tools (forcing update, not uninstall) but I uninstalled all non working homebrew after the update :( If that would work I could roll back to the back-up created during the update, far better than hard-resetting or uninstalling.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bkaul:
Check post #60 by Heathcliff in this thread - he links to another thread he started w/ instructions on how to Interop-Unlock a Dev-Unlocked Mango install.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
The problem is that guide involves the installation of a xap (so that Interop.Unlock.xml is placed in the device), which in my case is not possible as I've exceeded app limit.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Beberik:
So getting to 9 apps shouldn't be a problem this big. If you succeed with the unlock, you can install them back.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
Believe me it would be better to revert back to NoDo, as I finally did, than uninstalling and reinstalling 300+ apps :p

So I went back to NoDo via the Zune backup created just before the Mango update, passed unlock.xml to the device, updated again to Mango (this time no new backup was kept, so the process was much speedier, around 15-20 minutes) and unlocked.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
it is because the files on the phone are copied without proper attributes so its invisible on windows (i think it will need rsh attributes and now its probably rh) you will need to ask heatcliff if he can change this, otherwise no system files will be visible on the pc.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nescoffe:

Because in a broad gull there is an information on the conflict of this file.

Because it is present both at phone and in update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] voluptuary:
This file is your carrier specific code and can not be changed unless you flash a different firmware. You can change the settings in your registry after the fact but after a hard reset it will revert back to whatever values are in the CSC. Odds are to get an update you need to change a value in [hklm\system\platform\devicetargetinginfo] to a MO that is offering the update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Nescoffe:
In "[hklm\system\platform\devicetargetinginfo]" all is already changed, update comes through Zune. It is installed and produces an error 8018001E.

In a broad gull the information. The file conflict CSC_Config.xml as it is both in update and in phone. In the file anything isn't present, it weighs 0 byte.

RE: HTC version

Hi,

Just one question,

How do we make this tool work on our HTC devices, when you will release the version that works on HTC, if there is no Interop unlock available for HTC?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
You can interop-unlock an HTC phone - my HD7 is interop-unlocked - but it's not easy. It has to be set up pre-Mango (such as NoDo) and requires upgrading to Mango without getting the HTC update that is usually bundled into that upgrade.

I've got an idea for a way to get around the second part - a method that will work even if you get the HTC update - but you'll still have to set it up pre-Mango. I'll work on it soon, first I gotta get this Samsung Gen2 test app working.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Rcf686:

Heathcliff, over at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1370833 webseraph found the FFU file for The Dell Venue Pro 7704. I can confirm that it indeed flashes to 7704. At 7704 I can deploy interop xaps and can access various folders I normally could not after NODO. I was wondering if you know of a way to do the following:

Backup device at 7720+

Flash to 7704

Install something that will persist through multiple updates that keeps interop unlock. Possibly a custom certificate or even a xap deployed to the windows folder as I can execute any GUID I want.

Update from 7704-7720+

And here is the tricky part: restore to your backup

I am not sure how the backup process works. Is it essentiall a FFU flash?

Either way this is the first time that us DVP owners have a chance at interop unlocking our devices and possibly fixing the compass ourselves.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Well, is there even any high-privilege homebrew for the DVP anyhow? Interop-unlock is only useful if you have some app that you want to run which needs ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. Usually these are things like registry editors and provxml processors. I didn't know there were any such apps (high-priv homebrew) for the DVP yet.
