A few quick questions/comments;

When starting out the procedure, did you ever run CS on Mango?

Are you downloading the latest CS from the HTC Marketplace?

Do you have WiFi off and Airplane Mode off?

When you set your cellular connection to GSM are you waiting the connection status in the upper left of the main screen to show disconnected?

When you start CS do you immediately get this error without doing anything else?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dreamcaster012:
Gah, I'm an idiot. I've had wifi on this entire time and I didn't even notice. Turning it off fixed it, and as far as I know I'm interop unlocked with 3G still (was scared at first, but it looks good now...initially on CMDA only was getting 1X but on Global I've had 3G for about 10 minutes). I ran that twice before and I had to hard reset on the Mango beta this summer, so after that I never even downloaded it. Thanks for your help! +1 thank meter!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
Glad to hear!!! Thx

Now just need write privileges to the windows folder...here is hoping Heathcliff or Schaps cracks this.

I have some themeresources xaml files I want to shove in there to get my custom accents on third party apps! :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
You can use provxml to write to the Windows folder; I do it all the time. Depending on your driver version, I suppose, but if you can interop-unlock I *think* it's still possible.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
I am actually trying to modify a couple of .xaml files in the windows directory. I can copy them out onto my PC but I don't think I write them back over the files there. Another question is if I can modify these files right on the phone.

I can write provxml files to the windows folder but I think the files I want to modify are system ones. Someone wrote on another thread how to change custom accent colors for third party apps by doing this but all they said was "then find a way to copy these back into the windows directory".
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Those XAML files are in ROM, literally "Read-Only Memory". They can't be modified while the main OS is booted (only from the flash/update mode). You can add files to the Windows folder using provxml, but you can't modify ROM files (in Windows or elsewhere) without an unlocked bootloader to send custom update CABs or a custom ROM.

hey is it possible to interop unlock on nokia lumia 710.....if i have unlocked it by the student unlock method????

that would be of great help if anyone guides me
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drupad2drupad:
No.

Read the first post for details.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] goldsmit409:
okay....so am a newbie....but here's what i want to ask is that is it possible to do the things that the xap file is going to do directly to the dump created by the OS builder and create a cab maybe a complete custom rom to flash on the lumia....i mean we can flash official rom now so why cant we do with the cooked????

sorry if i sound stupid...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Not exactly stupid, but in the wrong thread and you probably should have done a bit of searching.

Short version: most phone ship with locked bootloaders, meaning they will only load ROMs or updates that are signed by a trusted private key (corresponding to a collection of certificates they hold). HTC first-gen phones can use RSPH or HSPL, which are unlocked bootloaders that allow custom ROMs and update CABs. Currently though, there is no equivalent for the other OEMs, including Nokia.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kendick01:
Will this method work for the HTC Titan does anyone know?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
No sorry.

The Interop Unlock for HTC Titan still doesn't exist :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Everyone who reads the opening post knows. :p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] iEatRappers:
Damn how come HTC Arrive doesn't work with this method -___-
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
How F#@&*#ing hard is it to read the opening post guys. All those questions... Go to the opening post, press CTRL-F and type: Arrive. There's your answer.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] iEatRappers:
Well how come htc conenction setup doesn't work on htc arrive?Does it have something to do with it being CDMA?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
The deviceid of the Arrive is blocked in code, hardcoded. Because there is no GSM to setup on the device. So app is not useful (only for Interop unlock :p)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FlashTek95:
Is it expected that there will be a way to update to the newest htc update, still having the interop unlock?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:
I already 'demoted'my mango 2nd Gen mango hd7 back to .7004 by using goldcard method. So now what should I do to use your method to fully unlock without using rspl/hspl.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mcsc:
Hi Heathcliff74,

I'm pretty sure I now this answer, but I will ask it anyway. I own a HTC Surround and a HTC Mozart Telstra and these phones are both on the Telus network in Canada.

I have done a backup on both of the phones and before the update both phone were interop-unlocked and on the official Mango software version 7.107720.68.

I updated the HTC Surround to 7740 and it is still interop-unlocked. Then I again ran HTC Interop Unlock.xap and applied it via HTC connection Setup on the HTC Mozart and then upgraded to the HTC update on that phone, and when it finished the update the phone is now interop-locked. If I want the Internet connection sharing I guess I will have to stay at this version of update, because if I revert back to my backup I'm interop-unlocked but I lose Internet connection sharing. Thanks again Heathcliff74.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Thanks for this, and esp the Verizon wireless 3G saver ! (I did thank both posts)

That is a nice work-a-round for updates or using Connection Setup to save my 3G connection.(Change CDMA to GSM, then take update, then go back after done).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@Ttblondey: This thread is not about "fully unlock[ing]" your phone. If you just want interop-unlock, upgrade to Mango (7720), but stop before installing the post-Mango HTC updates. Then follow the instructions in the opening post. You can probably continue upgrading past that point if you want to, though most high-privilege homebrew will stop working if you do so.

For a "full unlock" you currently need a custom ROM (or ROM update CAB), and that means you need RSPL or HSPL. It *might* be possible to get full unlock using HTCUtility, a driver I'm currently messing with, but I haven't had any breakthoughs on that for a few days.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:
:D

That's what I mean, sorry anyway will do the update just worry I won't get till nodo,Zune will update to mango that's what I'm afraid off. I will use my old backup to update to nodo.Actually I can't wait for heathcliff to solve the interop unlock.Have to do the goldcard to my 2nd Gen hd7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] N!njaDuck:
A new version of HTC connection setup has been released. Maybe with new features comes new bugs to exploit. Just a heads-up for anyone who wants to check it out.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Unless this one runs on the Arrive (possible but unlikely) or uses a different driver for provisioning (very unlikely), I doubt it will help. The problem isn't finding a hole through Connection Setup (except on the Arrive, where it currently can't be used). The problem is finding a hole through the high-privilege driver that Connection Setup uses to modify the phone. We can already push whatever instructions we want through CS. CS is still a sandboxed app though, so it can't do anything with them except hand them off to a high privilege component (the driver \Windows\HtcProvisionDriver.dll, if I recall correctly). That's where the problem is.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] N!njaDuck:
I do understand that. I thought it could be possible that they made changes to the DLL as part of the update. Either way, just information...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The driver DLL is in the Windows folder. App installations, even OEM apps, can't change anything under \Windows. App updates only modify the files in the app install folder (\Applications\Install\<GUID>\Install).

Furthermore, the driver DLL is baked into the ROM of the device. It can't be changed while the phone is booted at all; it can only be changed by flashing an entirely new ROM or installing an update while in flash mode (like Zune or a CAB-sender does).

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see people suggesting things. This particular avenue is a dead end, though. The app and OS just don't work like that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mizzour:
Not to keep beating a dead horse, but seeing the possible unlock for Nokia devices here, and the ability to access other OEM marketplaces here, I thought I would try and see if a combination of this would work for the Arrive. I successfully gained access to Nokia store, and was able to download the Nokia Network setup app, and was able to deploy the Nokia Interop Unlock app, but when I launched the Nokia Network app on my HTC Arrive I kept getting error messages that said "We are unable to locate your network settings. Please verify that your SIM card is inserted correctly." (presumably because there are no GSM radios on the device as it only uses CDMA radios
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Please read the info in the (my) first post on the OEM marketplace XAPs thread. Nothing which uses ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES - which means nothing that makes changes to the phone - is likely to work on a device from a different OEM. That's because the OEM apps are calling into OEM-specific drivers that are built into the OEM-customized ROMs. It would be nice if Microsoft had just provided a selection of high-privilege drivers so each OEM didn't have to write their own, but I don't see that happening (and to be fair, it may be a good thing they didn't since I suspect they would do a better job of shutting down high-privilege homebrew if they had).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drx64:
Hi all.

Just fyi, I've tested it today on the 8107 firmware from nokia, who's now include the network configuration tool.

After nct launch, I can see the text "Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74" but I get an error from the program.

Of course, it broke my connection setup, so I have to uninstall the Interop unlock, then uninstall the network configuration tool, and reinstall it via wifi connexion to get my connection back.

regards.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] memeqxda:
will the update 8107 lock my interop-unlock hd7??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] entanianick:
Thanks

I managed to successfully installed both advance config works when I change tile colors and register editor also work I mean it show up in setting and I can browse without a problem.

Do you know how to uninstall Registry editor? :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cyberghoser1:
Successfuly unlocked LG E900 with mango 7740 and now 8107, all other ways failed, thanks again!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
To uninstall an app that puts itself in Settings, you can either use a PC tool that knows how to uninstall (I believe WPDM can do this) or you can install an app with the same GUID but without the flag that puts it in settings (simply modifying the WPAppManifext.xml of the original XAP makes this easy).

I personally wish Schaps would stop sticking things in Settings, but c'est la vie.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
Use Schaps WPDM to uninstall his apps from settings (Registry Editor and/or ACT if you installed the ACT version that goes in settings). You can also use WPDM to copy files from the windows folder to your PC but you can't copy to windows folder.

P.S. If you use WPDM, hint; make sure to launch TouchXperience on your phone before connecting your phone to the PC and launching WPDM. Then make sure to disconnect the phone in WPDM first before exiting WPDM, exit WPDM completely, then unplug phone and close TouchXperience. Otherwise it acts a little buggy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dormix:
Yes now it works, many thanks for help, but the message in Interop Unlock app is the same.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Check all the other WPInteropManifest.xml files in other apps. They are all empty. It's just a matter that the file needs to be present to enable Interop Services.

Yes. The interop-unlock-app only prepares your device. After that you have to follow the rest of the instructions (*#9908# etc) to do the real unlock.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Guys! I really would like to have some confirmation. If you have a Samsung which is NOT interop unlocked, please try THIS VERSION of WP7 Root Tools and see if it works.

For what it's worth: I just relocked my device (manually set MaxUnsignedApp value to 99), uninstall WP7 Root Tools, install the previously mentioned version of WP7 Root Tools and it installed on my non-interop-unlocked device. No sweat. I must admit that I have done some changes to my policies, so that's why I would like others to confirm that this works.

Thanks,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] madphone:
My phone is developer unlocked (Omnia7). May I test this file for you? What do I have to do exactly?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Yes please. You are on Mango? And no Interop Unlock (just normal dev-unlock?)

Please try to install this file. See if it installs and if it runs.

Thank you for testing!

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] madphone:
Installation works, but as soon as i agreed the disclaimer it closes. what am i supposed to do next?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Ok. First check your diagnosis app version. If you don't have the diagnosis app installed yet, then dial ##634#. That will install the diagnosis app. If you start the diagnosis app it shows the versionnumber at the top. If it starts with 09, this will unfortunately not work, because your ROM is too old. You will need to flash a new ROM to do Interop Unlock.

If your diagnosis app version is ok, follow the instructions in the opening post, but skip step 4 and 5 (your version is ok)

When you've done that, you can download the WP7 Root Tools from here. That version will work after you did the Interop Unlock as per the instructions.

If you run into problems, just let me know what the problem is and I'll help you out.

I think it worked on my device, because I applied some special policies. I will try to revert that and test again. I will post the test-results later on.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] madphone:
Thank you very very much! worked. took me just 5 minutes!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I did more testing. It was false-alarm.

The reason I could run apps without ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES and withouth Interop-Unlock was that I had applied my own ROOT policies :p Now that I think of it.. these policies are really powerful :D

I'll do more tests.. Will report back later on.

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Glad I could help :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MalooMF9:
Right, so I'm having a problem that some other people must be having. Because I debranded my phone to get Nodo early back when it first came out, and didn't rebrand it before updating, my Mango phone can't update its diagnosis app, or receive the samsung security update (which changes the one in the rom to 1122 or 1112 or whatever that one is.)

So, on the forum, a xap of the 1027 version is floating around. Can't deploy it with the interop flag, but I remembered that the WMAppManifest.xml file actually gets installed in a directory when you install an app.

So my question is, is it possible to install something with the interop flag removed, then use your method to replace the file that was installed with one that has the interop flag in it? Or does that still not work because of something checked at execution time, or not being able to replace files?

I'd love to be able to fix it without going to my rather old nodo backup.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I guess your on version 09xx of the Diagnosis app?

I tried a few angles already (you can read it in this thread). I failed so far for these old ROM's and for HTC's. But I'm still working on something, which looks good so far. Don't know for sure it will work. But if it works I can get it to work for all Samsungs and HTC's. I have to do more developing and testing. Just bear with me.

I have a samsung focus with old rom (diagnosis version 0922), i've been able to deploy wp7 root tools but after opening it closes immediately.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ryotgz:
Works like a champ on the final Samsung Focus version of Mango. Just had to uninstall enough side loaded apps to redo the hack.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] madphone:
hmm, root tools seem not to start anymore, after phone got updated to mango final.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Do the same what you did yesterday. That should work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] madphone:
your unlocker was still installed. started it. and worked. 3g setings didn't break. but root tools don't.

maybe i'll redo the hole process later.

Edit: i forgot the diagnosis app thing (shame on me :P) everything fine now.

but what i noticed before got it fixed is, that i was able to deploy anything anymore.

@Heathcliff: Any hope for us poor unfortunate htc users who've already installed the official Mango update?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fb401:
Heathcliff, I did the LG method for Interop-Unlock now that I'm on Mango, however, when I tried to run Accent Changer I got error 0x80070032 (Request is not supported). I can however still sideload due to still being dev unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I think I have good news. I have found a new exploit that will PROBABLY allow me to do Interop Unlock on HTC's. I will try to release a test-package asap. BUT.. Interop Unlock is not enough to be able to run all NoDo homebrew. Many homebrew apps need to be adapted for Mango. So when you do the Interop Unlock the homebrew apps will install, but may still crash. Remember that.

0x80070032 = ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED

I don't know that accent changer, but I pretty sure it is simply not Mango compatible. Homebrew is about using undocumented API's. And undocumented API's will change without notice. That's what happened. The developer of the tool probably needs to make it compatible with Mango.

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] majkeljj:
as I know you can install Registry Editor 1.1 over 1.2 version then you will see registry editor in apps, then uninstall. should work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
No, you can install 8107. You're fine.

For HTC Arrive users: I think DFT will have a solution for you soon.

Hi,

how can I update my device to the 8170 OS, still having the Interop Unlock?

System informations:

OS=7.10.7720.68

Firmwareversion=2250.21.12200.162

Radio=5.68.09.05a_22.50.50.21U

Bootloader=4.6.2250.0(129185)

HTC 7 Trophy.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
8107 does not (or at least, should not) remove interop-unlock.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FlashTek95:
So i just can connect my device to zune, and let zune update my phone from 7720 to the newst os version?

Cause in the first post Heathcliff74 said, that the htc update v2 removes the interop unlock...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kaikara:
How do you test whether this unlock has worked. I follwed the instructions and it doesn't seem to be working for me. I loaded the Accent Changer XAP and it installs bt I just get errors when I try and launch it. How do I confirm that is is actually unloacked. I have a LG Optimus.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XmlNode:
What does it mean exactly: "scroll the list of hidden options"?

I have 0628 and a newly flashed FW, but only those 3 options are visible. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IM0001:
They teased us back in October and have been Mum since. :rolleyes:

A good patience building this has been coming from the longish wait we had to endure for the TP2 Unlock. I miss Comex's work on WM devices. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I have really reliable info, trust me. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] IM0001:
Didn't say it Isn't coming, just that they caused lots of internal pain and suffering by teasing me (and other Arrive owners) so very long ago. ;)

I wonder if we could ever lure Comex back over from the iOS side. :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
DFT have their reasons.. Some projects have been on hold for a while.. Still, it should be soon now. Just watch out for the DFT threads.

About Comex.. We have a lot of new hackers now.. But WP7 has a completely new security mechanism. So even WM hackers will have a lot of difficulties with WP7. Just be patient.. Everything will be hacked ;)

Is is work on 8107 ?

I can deploy the xap to my omnia 7 (8107), but there is no ""Heathcliff74 Interop Unlock" in the diagnosis app
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The second post-Mango HTC update removes the ability to apply interop-unlock. It doesn't actually remove the unlock itself, if you already have it.

I think you can also skip the HTC updates and just apply the Microsoft updates using the update CABs directly. See Heathcliff74's [CAB] thread. Doing this won't remove interop-unlock either, at least none of the current ones, but also won't mess with your ability to use interop-unlock techniques or other homebrew. However, it means you won't get the HTC-specific fixes for things like the Zune music playback freeze.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FlashTek95:
So we should skip the htc updates to be still able to use registry Editor or advanced config an 8107? Which Update bringe the tethering?

Thankyou!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Tethering (or rather, "Internet Sharing") was actually added in Mango, 7720. Unfortunately, it requires an OEM driver update to use it, so if you want to have it you have to install at least one HTC update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kirk999:
and bootloader v.5.x.x will be hacked too? what deadlines? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hackers don't have deadlines!

Hacking is a lot of searching, reverse-engineering, trying, testing, puzzling, etc. What and when something is found is unpredictable.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74

PS. You may be able to restore to an older bootloader version with gold-card-method. Search the forum for more instructions.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kirk999:
thanks for answer Heathcliff74 :)

for now I have unlocked wp7 with bootloader v.5 and saw all threads concerning downgrading. right now it is no so necessary for me :o

so everything OK and I'll be waiting new hacks for future :p
