Does anyone loose the InteropUnlock after the upgrading to WP 7.8 ?

Is it possible to unlock it again after the upgrade?

Thanx :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
it will attempt to phone home and relock its self again but assuming you didn't install your newer firmware, you will still have the ability to unlock again

Interop Unlock

Hello, Heathcliff74.

I have HTC Trophy 1st generation, but with drivers 2 updated ones. I have me Trophy unblocked with Chevron from January, 2011, on having tried, some time ago, to install Interop Unlock, I could not and I believe that it is for having the drivers 2 updated... Till now, whenever there was an official update of Windows, it could do it without losing the unfreezing due to a .xap of Ansar (UM2...) but now I believe that there is nothing similar and is possible that the only way of installing roms with entire unfreezing is to do GoldCard (it gives me indolence), since me bootloader is 5xxxxxxx. Do you know if there is some way of updating 7.8 supporting unfreezing? Thank you in advance and congratulations for you I work. Greetings.

P.D.: He excuses for English me. I am using ImTranslator.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cabrini:
Hello, Heathcliff74.

Thanks for answering so soon., but precisely he wanted to install Interop Unlock because with Chevron I could not have installed WP7 Root Tools (he settles but says to me that with Chevron it is not sufficient that he installs Interop Unlock) That's why I think that the problem is in having updated drivers 2 of HTC... Anyway, I am going to try it once again... Thanks for you time. Greetings.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Ok. I misunderstood. So you don't have Interop Unlock yet. In that case you need to downgrade. 2 options: If you have a backup from your phone when it was still on SPL 3 (or 4), then restore that backup. If you don't have such backup, then the only option is the Goldcard method. After you downgraded the SPL, you can either flash HSPL and a Custom Unlocked ROM, or you can flash an older stock ROM, apply Interop Unlock and take necessary precautions for Relocking and then upgrade to the latest OS version.

I hope that helps.

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cabrini:
Hello, Heathcliff74.

Thanks for you interest and your responses. I was afraid that the GoldCard is the only solution, it is an indolence; to look for the cables, etc, etc. I will try It in a few days. Thank you again and greetings.

hi i am new to windows phone. i got samsung omnia w updated to 7.8. i am really happy with the phone, but i really miss google maps/ nokia drive with great navigation. what do i have to do to install google maps/ nokia drive. also it will great if i can install apps for free.lol.

plz guide me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
Youd best turn around then, there is no tolerance of piracy here. Nokia drive is a grey area since its free, its available via the Nokia marketplace an if your phone is unlocked ten there are apps available to change markets but these can bugger up your device.

Thanks

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Omnia M cannot be unlocked with current methods. I analyzed a ROM dump and it differs in some ways. Other devices cannot be unlocked this way either. So explaining the unlocks won't help. The latest unlocks are based on a whole string of exploits. I cannot reveil too much for obvious reasons.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
just wondering, does any one have any knowledge with programming SIM cards?

I just noticed the SIM applications option in the settings, its been there forever but haven't really paid it any attention, now my SIM card is old, and I know the programs on the SIM (settings collection) worked on WM but not for WP, that could be an age thing though.

Anyhow, I know carriers have the ability to add software to a SIM OTA and we have long since had the ability to program SIMs so I wonder if this could be used to get code on/in to the phone....

just a thought, but if it were possible to program, I don't think it would be unreasonable to think that perhaps OEMs let carriers do all sorts via the SIM application settings, maybe even outside the usual security constraints give then its only supposed to be carriers doing stuff via that option..

ICS will work fine, our devices are all the same so what works on one retail device will work on another, the focus S was never sold by others with perhaps the exception of Japan, im sure it was an ATT exclusive.

So unless you have a pre retail demo device if ICS isn't working its something your doing that is wrong, this isn't the right thread for that issue unless you cant interop unlock either? so would you be able to write down EXACTLY what you are doing, step by step so we can see where your ICS/interop problems are coming from?

Interop HTC Trophy WP 7.8

Hello!!

I need to do the interop unlock in my dev-unlocked (with AppHub) HTC Trophy with Windows Phone 7.8 (Vodafone, Spain) in order to have access to the file system and save my WhatsApp chats in my computer. I read the instructions in this page (http://wp7roottools.com/index.php/guides/interop-unlock) and I want to try. My question is, should I try the normal HTC steps or the Verizon trophy steps?

I will appreciate any help, I really need to have that file in my computer.

you should proceed with normal HTC steps. It'd work, though your phone is not locked. Gud luck!

first do a hard reset your phone and then use 1st method provided in the package. And follow the guide remember to shutdown your phone by long pressing lock/unlock key, not just by sliding the screen down (forgot the step no.) as guided there.

7.8 Interop i937 Focus S?

Hi,

Got a WP7 i937 Focus S and tried with the latest 7.1.87xx aka WP7.8 today 12-17-14. Tried for about 2 hours to interop and then WP Tools root it. Tried method #1, then #2. #2 seemed to have the best chance of success as I got to the file manager and selected the HeathcliffInterop choice at the bottom of the file manager. I then back out to the start screen, try to deply WP& tools and still get the error 0x81031020 cannot be deployed error. Went thru the entire process 3-5 times same result. I know Heathcliff shared in his instructions that there are all sorts of reasons for the interop to take or not, just wondering if there aree any hints I am missing.

BTW...I went here http://www.wp7roottools.com/index.php/downloads and downloaded Samsung G2 v3 and followed, well I think I did, the info in the instructions.txt file.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bpsmicro:
Geez, a bit of a scare. I followed the instructions on my Mango'fied Focus, and all went pretty much as described, *except* I couldn't get 3G re-enabled. I tried all three of the lower suggestions (Samsung's Network thingy doesn't work for me on Rogers), and all *said* that the pertinent registry key was checked, but no matter how many times I rebooted (even a battery-out hard boot) the 3G refused to work.

Then, a good 45 minutes later, while I was typing my "Help!" post here, it suddenly came to life. And now all seems well.

Can it be that the actual process of "running ADC" takes some extended period of time? I am fairly fringe from the nearest cell tower, so maybe you need some period of time with a solid cell signal before the ADC app does its thing. I dunno.

I decided to post this anyway, in case anybody else sees the same issue. It *may* just be that you need to wait a while (with a solid enough cell signal).

Brad.

P.S. *Many* thanks for all the efforts. Pity I still can't set custom SMS & E-mail tones (well, I can, but they don't work). Maybe some day. :-)

Same issue on my VZW HTC Trophy. You have a beta tester here wiling to try. Dev/unsigned unlocked.

Edit: My phone was NoDo, Provxml method all the way to the RTM (7720.68), was fully unlocked, no issues with INTEROP based apps. Upgraded to the Mango Final (yesterday's download) and now lost INTEROP app access, nothing installed with the INTEROP tag works any more.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MalooMF9:
Was the first thing I tried, rejects it with some line... lemme do it again to see what it was. I get the impression it might have to do with signatures somehow. The cab itself is signed with something from microsoft, and the files inside have one from Samsung.

Oh, wait, I didn't check both of the ones marked test... No change. I'm guessing they're both needed somehow, since they have very different contents. It updatewp drops this error:

Makes me think one of the packages is used as a master of some sort, for installing the others.

As a side note, since you've been messing with certificate stores, couldn't it be possible to sign these cabs ourselves for deployment to the phone? Make a custom cab with a custom payload, etc etc.

Edit: Tried doing all the contents at once to see if I could get the same error from the OEM.cab package. No go. I'm guessing that it's what the error above calls a super package, and the alternative to one, a preinstallation update, is not available. Best case scenario for me now is for someone to somehow get what zune sends as an update when you rebrand your phone (from 000-08 to ATT-US, in my case)

I suppose I could do that myself, but I'm not sure how to capture what zune's sending. Back to nodo again for that, so I can do it properly.

xboxmod's rom has root-access. Policies are modified, so no "blocked by policies" anymore. I think it is even Interop Unlocked by default. TouchXplorer doesn't run because it is not yet compatible with mango (as far as I know). The latest version of Julien Schapman's Advanced Configuration Tool and Registry Editor are compatible with Mango and should run on Interop Unlocked devices.

The certificates against which the updates are verified are not in the certificate stores, unfortunately. They are in DefaultCerts.dat and MsDefaultCerts.dat. They are ROM files, so they can only be changed by cooking a new rom for a device which has an unlocked bootloader.

Your device has to be developer unlocked in the first place. Google that for more info.
