Much appreciated! :)

I already posted a link to Advanced config tool in the opening post :)

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

Or he did have the Interop-Unlock from the beginning (Used MFG app as described in the opening post) and the apps he tried we simple not compatible with Mango yet.

Many exploits are easy once you know how it works. This is how I did it. :D

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
LG Users. I can confirm this works (this is in fact the same as the old MFG tutorial - see my signature) with one difference.

I set PortalUrlProd to 0 as well. I've never had problems with Interop apps. Maybe 0 sets it to limitless?

Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install"
16. Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD.
17. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
18. The output should be 0.
19. Now enter "2147483647" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
20. Output result should be "2147483647".
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Whoops. Type in the LG tutorial. "MaxUnsignedApp" should be 2147483647 and "PortalUrlProd" should be empty. "MaxUnsignedApp" is the Interop-Unlock value. "PortalUrlProd" is part of the prevent-relock-tweak. Opening post updated.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
well, still leaves the question why my phone acts like it's INTEROP-unLOCKed even though I never touched that reg key.

edit1: Ok just checked the entry and it is already at 2147483647 !?

I know I never touched that entry. I've recently cold booted the phone and the only changes I made were the ones up to PortalUrlProd, nothing else. weird, right?

diagnosis version

Any advice for someone with an older diagnosis app? Mine is on v.0922. I haven't found anything searching the forums.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] blacksoul0:
Any apps to test this? I tried a ScreenCapture app, but it always crashes, even after a reboot.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kositch:
For what is good this type of unlock? Does it mean, that in dev unlocked device I can have installed only max. 3 xap's when I am student?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Muchas gracia!! :)

It is in the opening post. You should first uninstall the diagnosis app and the dial ##634# to install the latest version.

Depends on what brand WP7 you have. For Samsung try WP7 Root Tools. You can also try TouchXplorer Advanced Config Tool (link is in the opening post).

If you have a dev-unlock (student / AppHub / Chevron) this exploit will give you unlimited side-loaded apps and Interop-unlock (allow apps with native code). A normal student unlock only allows max 3 side-loaded apps. More info here.

Re LG: This is how I've been doing it for a while now. Works for me.

Clearing reg values before setting new ones is an unnecessary step though.

except that I never needed the last step. It was always already set to that value on my device (and my wife's phone).

I should have specified -- I've tried that three times, including uninstall, reboot, reinstall, and am still on 0922. Any thoughts?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JulietteOnXDA:
so applying the registry changes on a mango htc via provxml won't do anything?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] decebal:
Any chance for a HTC compatible version ?

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I tried for the hell of it to deploy this to my HTC Trophy. I get a new errror.

"This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contract your system administrator."

Never saw that one before (tried with a few differerent programs), Microsoft already blocking it through Zune ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
LG users are kinda priviledged with a regeditor built-in. Most people who have been unlocking with MFG will have applied the MaxUnsignedApp value. The guide is primarily meant for new Mango users and for explaining the connection between MaxUnsignedApp and Interop-Unlock. For Samsung users this was simply not possible before and for them I developed this exploit.

When creating the guide for LG is read from users who had problems setting the values, that they succeeded by clearing the value first. So that's why I included it in the guide.

Thank you! :)

Did you upgrade from NoDo? Did you use some Advanced Config-like tool? I doubt that MFG sets this value by itself.

Do you have an old ROM, like JJ6? Can you find an update for the Diagnosis app in the Marketplace?

I use an exploit in the package manager to deploy a provxml-file. For HTC I need to write that provxml to \Windows. But the package manager has no access to that folder.

I will try to find another exploit. Can't guarantee anything.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74

Please read the updated opening post. You are trying the first version of the xap. I couldn't get it to work on HTC. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] barttool:
I just got an update for my Omnia 7 that enables wi-fi sharing, I was just wondering if this still works after the update, in case samsung did some hidden changes and locked this hack...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Prozel:
I'm all new to WP7, so sorry for my ignorance.

First of all, my diagnosis is 0628, does that work?

Second, to install the xap isn't required to have an apphub account or what? Is there an alternative?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I can't be sure, but I don't think they would change it. You could always make a backup of your device and revert, if you get locked out. But I have the KH5 update from Samsung, with Internet Sharing, and my Iterop Unlock still works. So I think you're safe.

Yep, you need a dev-unlock. So you buy an AppHub account ($99 per year), or you revert to WP7 RTM (flash an old rom) and then use the original ChevronWP7 unlocker and then follow the guides to update to mango and retain your unlock. Or you hold your breath for a little while and wait for the new Chevron unlocker, which will do a legit unlock for a couple of bucks (previously announced to be ready within a couple of weeks).

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Prozel:
Aight, thanks for help. Gonna wait for Chevron Labs. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seraph1024:
I wonder if Chevron unlocker will remove the 10 app limit. I am a developer. We develop in house apps as well as apps for clients. With that said, sometimes, I will get more than 10 apps. I see the need for restrictions (ie piracy) but sometimes, 10 is just not enough. That's my reason for unlock / registry hack.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Limit on the new chevron tool will be 10.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ryotgz:
Anyone try this with the new chevron unlocker released today?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I tried it a while back ;) And it works. :p
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ryotgz:
Cool. I wasn't sure if it was they both used the same unlock method. Now I am not so worried when my trial dev account expires.

Now my question is, will the interop unlock work on the Focus S? That is my next phone in a few days.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Prozel:
I followed the guide to the point were the phone had to restart for getting 3g back.

Now nothing works! I can't reinstall the interop unlock nor other xaps :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Try again step 8 to 11.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] paulrgod:
Hey guys im trying to follow this guide but not having much luck.

Im newly ChevronWP7 unlocked.

I've removed and re-added the samsung diagnosis app - its version 0628

Pushed the xap successfully however when i enter '*#9908# i get a screen called GPRS Manager that says 'Select GPRS:' there are 3 hidden options below this 'Gumi Test Bed', 'Suwon2G Test Bed' & Sowon3G Test Bed' then an empty grey box at the bottom with save and close buttons below.

I dont get any option to Select "Heathcliff74 Interop Unlock" as in step 9.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Paul
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Did you do step 1 and step 6? Step 6 is important. Do you have the interop unlock app present on your phone?

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] paulrgod:
Thanks for the reply - yes i've pushed the xap successfully, and once ive run it got the message thats its done and to continue with the rest of the process.

But there's no selection for 'Heathcliff74 Interop Unlock' in the GPRS screen in Diagnosis app.

I think the problem i have is with the version of the diagnosis app @ 0628.

I've even updated to this firmware here hoping it might change the version of the diagnosis app (uninstalled and re-installed) its still version 0628.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
Everything is ok with version 0628 of the diagnosis app.

Check the attached screenshots...

Are you sure that you scrolled down the gprs manager list ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] paulrgod:
Nevermind - i've done it.

The 3 options i mentioned in the GPRS setting screen caused the heathcliff interop unlock option to be off the list (below the grey box), i realised i could scroll the list of hidden options and then find the correct one. This info might be useful for others having a problem too.

So im unlocked!

Cheers

Paul

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nipungupta7:
i have installed interop locked and now i can install apps

but

apps like touch explorer or regisrty editor opens up and then closes itself

any help guys

also, some games i installed(3rd party sites), some run and some just return back to main screen just like apps

can anyone help
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@nipungupta7: You're not going to get any help here regrading installing paid apps, from third-party sites or otherwise. Let's just make that clear.

OK, with that said: make sure the apps you're installing are Mango compatible. Mango removed some native libraries that NoDo apps depended on. The apps actually still work, but they have to be recompiled more carefully to avoid those dependencies.

The latest version of Schaps (TouchXperience) Registry Explorer works just fine. If you on an HTC and don't have HTC's firmware updte for Mango, TouchXplorer mostly works too (not perfectly, but good enough - if you have the HTC updates it won't work, though). If you're on Samsung (I assume you are, or you wouldn't "install" unterop-unlock) you should be using WP7 Root Tools anyhow, and yes, there's a Mango version.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I will attempt later. Can't give you an ETA though. BUT... Interop unlock isn't enough. The apps need to be DVP compatible too. And that might be hard too. I have some more info to go on right now, so I will look at it. But don't expect miracles soon.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] M3r71n0:

I've done quite some work on the "HTC issue" already. Now you start working on you "reading issue". Maybe start with the opening post. REALLY :eek:

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ManelScout4Life:
This no longer works on the Focus S.

Well it kind of works, I have no sideload limit, and can install interop apps but then the apps don't work. WP7 root tools give me a bunch of errors and advance config is unable to make any changes.

Heath, let me know of any testing you would like me to do.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Sounds like they may have closed the DLL or driver being used for high-permission access on previous Samsung phones. I suspect Heathcliff74 will need the error messages his tools was giving you in order to help you, though!

Come on people, you're filing a bug report. "It doesn't work" isn't a bug report, it's a DERP report. Explain what you were doing. Give the steps to reproduce the error. Explain what happened, including the error message.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ManelScout4Life:
Not really helpful error messages.

First screen capture is from the root tools

The second and third is from advance config

Last one is to show the diagnosis tool version.

I suspect for the root tools heath just has to add the focus s model number but at the same time I doubt that just that chance will allow the tool to work properly.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Not to you. But this tells me that the driver-system on Samsung Focus S has changed when compared to previous Samsung models.

Now we wait till someone throws me a Samsung Focus S to play with ;) A ROM dump will probably do the trick too. :p I have to analyze the new Samsung driver system and find the security holes. I know a lot about the current models and I know where I should probably look. I guess it wouldn't be too difficult for me to find exploits. It's just a waiting game now. I checked SamFirmware.com but there are no ROM's for Samsung Focus S or Omnia W to analyze yet.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74

EDIT: It is not a matter of adding a model-number. WP7 Root Tools does not recognize the drivers on your Focus S. Hence the error message.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Me? I'm a software engineer in test, meaning I write tools that try to break product code, do code reviews of features, and both file and receive/resolve lots of bugs. On XDA-devs, I write tools to implement or restore functionality that Microsoft left out/cut from the OS. Most of that is building on the work of people who fund holes on the restrictions of the OS (Heathcliff included) but I also work on increasing the capabilities available to homebrew developers (since I have an HD7, part of that is trying to interop-unlock HTC phones).

If it makes you feel any better, the second paragraph of my previous post wasn't directed at you in particular - it was a general expression of frustration at people who expect developers to fix problems when you don't even tell them what the problem is, which I see quite frequently here on XDA-Devs (typically from the newcomers). You've not been very active but you're not new either - you should have an idea by now of what kinds of information people need (the actual error messages, at a minimum, being a pretty obvious one I'd think...)

As I said, it wasn't directed at you in particular; you actually did better than many in pointing out that you can still sideload interop apps, but that a few specific apps don't work (and giving examples). You also mentioned your phone, though you didn't mention details like what firmware you have (I don't know if the S has received any updates since it came out, perhaps not). Don't take it personally.

EDIT: Although I'm not a Samsung device owner, I do try to keep my apps Samsung-compatible. Could you please download and install MultiTaskToggle (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248063) and let me know if it works or, if not, what errors you get? I only use one specific Samsung DLL in that app, and I'd be interested to know if it works or not. If you don't want to keep the app, you can uninstall it after testing; so long as it's back in the default behavior (dehydrating), no lasting changes will hve been made to your phone. There are two points where it's likely to break: at startup (where it checks the current state of the relevant registry value) and when you change the option (either within the app or using the live tile) since that requires registry write.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ManelScout4Life:
There's many trolls on here that only post to piss people off, glad your not of them. There are no updates for the focus s so far it comes with mango. Is there anyway to dump the rom off the phone it's self like there use to be with the wm phones?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
There's a tool usable for HTC phones, but I think it takes advantage of our unlocked SPL. However, I'm sure somebody will soon (if they haven't already) either leak the ROM or manage to dump it. I know the HTC ones are already out, but the Focus S is so new it might take a little longer. Hopefully it'll be available soon; you may want to watch the device-specific forums.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ManelScout4Life:
At start up
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Thanks. That's the GUID for COMRilClient.dll, which is one of a few high-privilege DLLs that can be used for registry access on Samsung phones. I may try re-writing the app to use FCRouterProxy.dll, or possibly look up how to do provxml on Samsung (it's possible but I've never used it), though there's no guarantee they'll work either. There's a chance though, especially with provxml (you wouldn't have been able to use the interop-unlock technique if provxml were completely broken; that's what the diag app is doing).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ManelScout4Life:
lol all I want to do is change the accents like I had done on the org focus.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Which requires registry write access, which requires a high-privilege driver that can be used.

Well, or it requires that MS realize that this is a very common desire and perfectly reasonable as a feature, and implements it officially...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seraph1024:
I know the feeling. Been there. Done that on the forums here. Don't get worn out. Many of us go through that phase.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwickone:
FWIW, I tried the Samsung instructions on my new Focus S. Did not work, I believe due to the fact that the Diagnostic app that downloads is version 0923, and does not have the Auto SIM Config capability (at least not the same code)

I was able to load the xap ok, and set the GPRS Manager, which broke 3G/4G. I was not able to fix the 3G/4G with the Diagnostic app (or any other method listed).

....could also be that it runs the 4G capability.

I was able to Hard Reset and get everything back to normal though :cool:

So any news on an interop-unlock for the HTC Titan?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] digger1985:
How do I check if the interop unlock was succesfful?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Install any app that requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. Some good candidates:

Phone-agnostic:

Advanced Config (TouchXperience.com)

Registry Editor (TouchXperience)

DiagProvXML (this forum, allows setting up Internet Sharing)

MultiTaskToggle (this forum)

Samsung-specific:

WP7 Root Tools (this forum, full-permission file, registry, and certificate browser)

If you have an HTC or LG phone, there's probably some specific apps for them too (well, I know there are for HTC, because I use them).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Rcf686:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jdbastardy:
HTC just put ConnectionSetup again on the Market. Let's see.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xiaohm:
I didn't see any error when I dialed ##634#. If I had Diagnosis tool uninstalled first, dialing this number can help me have the tool installed & loaded successfully. However, the version displayed is always 0922.

The installer won't install the Diagnosis. When it launched Diagnosis Detail Page in the Market Place, the page displayed the error message I mentioned. I saw neither Install nor Try button on this screen. If the tool is for my phone, I would guess it should display Install button there.
