Ahh ok. Maybe that's what it is. I'll check all of my homebrew apps to see if their updated.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dandrayan:
That's great news! Thanks for all the hard work and I'm looking forward to seeing what you came up with.

Anything about the documentation to port apps?

Weird, so I removed the Interop Services line from Schaps Registry Editor v1.4 Mango version & it works, but changing the max unsigned apps registry doesn't fix the Interop Block. Tried this on a T-Mobile HTC HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
What can be done by someone that has updated to Mango, is Dev-unlocked BUT MaxApp restricted and as a consequence cannot install any further apps (including of course Registry editor, and Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap). I have also uninstalled WP7 Root Tools which could possibly update (using xap deployers that update and do not perform full uninstall/install cycle), and then remove MaxApp limitation so that install InteropUnlock-> Interop Unlock.

The link you gave that has the OEM firmware stuff for Samsung devices fails on install, with an error along the lines "Two or more packages contain the same file"

Fail. I did see in the package the one that contains the update to the Diagnosis program, but I can't seem to get it to deploy on its own, nor can I find a way to remove files from the cab until it works.

Is there any way to get this to work with the Dell Venue Pro?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I added a very cool exploit for HTC in the opening post. I don't have an HTC. Please test it and let me know if it works. If it works, I'll make the same exploit for Samsung and LG too.

Ciao,

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Try rename the .cab.pkg to .cab. See if it works.

Sorry, No. Maybe later....

Hi Heathcliff74,

I tried it on my htc mozart, and it does not seem to work.

this is what I do exactly:

1. install htc interop unclocker.xap - success

2. using my wp7 office, click a pdf file (it downloads), tried to open the pdf file, and then close straight away. NO sound.

3. deleted the htc unlocker.xap (because I only have 3 max sideload apps allowed on my developer account).

4. Tried to install home brew, still error 0x81030120

Should I not delete the xap? Any other suggestion?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dandrayan:
Clever exploit! Unfortunately, it didn't seem to work on my HTC Arrive. The app appears to have successfully replaced Adobe Reader, but it doesn't make any sounds when I open a PDF locally or from the web. I even tried rebooting before installing a xap file that requires interop, but still no dice. No obvious errors were thrown either.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Ok. Thanks for testing. I still think the exploit should work. Maybe I quit the app too soon. I will add a delay and see if I can show error-codes in case of a failure. I'll try to post an update soon. Not sure when. Probably in a couple of hours.

I will give this a shot later today, after I found out how to pass chevron up to 7720.68 on my Mozart...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] parnunu:
Today i update my hd7 from mango 7712 to 7720 and update to Cleanup Mango Beta.(take "CustClear.provxml" to "/windows" before start update).After completed phone had re-lock so i run connection setup everything go back to normal (unlock and Interop-unlock).

After that i get update "HTC update for windows phone".I take "CustClear.provxml" to "/windows" again and start the update.

When it done i run connection setup but phone only unlock but can't use "TouchXplorer" "AdvancedConfig 1.4.0.0 Mango beta" "RegistryEditor 1.2.0.0 mango".

Is phone is interop lock?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
If you have the chevron pre-nodo unlock then I would be careful. Search the forum for relocks that have occurred to others that had the pre-nodo chevron for more info.

P.S. AppHub is the official MS Developer Account to get unlock. $99/yr (free if you are a student) and the only way to unlock stock ROMs now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jiribeador:
It didn't worked

Hi, just tested the unlock and it didn't work, I can install your XAP, but then when I launch the Nokia network tool nothing appears, just the normal file to select my network.. am I missing something?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Dude, it was announced *months* ago, right here on this thread (among elsewhere) that the Lumia interop-unlock didn't work. Note the distinct lack of "Nokia" in the list of OEM names in the thread title...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sdrexler@hotmail.com:
So will this method work on my Verizon trophy which has all of the updates on it from verizon as of today? OS version 7.10.8107.79. Bootloader 2.4.230512.2? Or would I be wasting my time?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
Look at your FW version - if it is xxxx.xx.20104.xxx or lower yes. But if you updated with the HTC driver update from VZW and your FW is higher than this will no longer work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sdrexler@hotmail.com:
Thanks. Looks like I am SOL until someone figures out how to unlock the higher firmware.

any updates on htc hd7 interop unlock?

os: 7.10.7108

firmware: 2250.21.51202.531
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] toothfish:
If you have a chevron unlocked wp7 Mozart on HTC V1 update

can u get interop-unlock then get V2 HTC update as well?

V2 is tethering if im not mistaken and i believe that is quite important!!!

OS version:

7.10.8107.79

Firmware revision number

2250.21.50001.707

Radio software version

5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U

Bootloader version

5.12.2250.5(139188)

(how do u actually check if ur on v1 or v2??)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@toothfish, the answer to your first question is yes. However, once you have upgraded you can't interop-unlock again if you lost unlock for some reason. You also can't enable WP7 Root Tools, so do that before updating.

However, your version numbers say you already have the "v2" drivers. Look at the third number of your Firmware version; it is 50XXX. That means v2 drivers, I believe (the whole "vN" thing is just a term we use here on the forum; the phone doesn't describe it that way). Fully updated phones have 51XXX. "v0" drivers like mine are 3XXXX, but getting Mango without getting the v1 drivers was tricky, and I'm missing a number of irmware features because of it. "v1" drivers are 4XXXX, and are usually what people have if they're installed all the update up to Mango, but none of them since.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] toothfish:
Thank you for the response!

So i am on v2 already but i dont see the tethering. and i can still use reg editor.xap

I restored to my back up a few days ago because i was trying to unlock tango (failed). Now im back to this this restore point which doesnt have tethering and whenever i try to force update the phone (disconnect internet trick) i always end up with tango and not the tethering update.

I know there is one more HTC update for my phone because i had previously recorded each updates FW

I believe this is the update with the tethering for Mozart 7

OS version:

7.10.8107.79

Firmware revision number

2250.21.51205.707

Radio software version

5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U

Bootloader version

5.0.2250.5(139188)

notice FW number is 51205 and i am currently still on 50001

...

So what should i do to get tethering back?

(i tried U2M8107's xap but that only prompts HTC update 1 and not the later updates)

Unlocking on Tango

Greetings! I am trying to unlock my phone but I have run into some complications and was looking for assistance.

I have an HTC Trophy on VZW. OS: 7.10.8773.98 (Most recent build, including the tango update pushed by VZW on Aug 1st). I attempted your unlock and got stuck on the Connection Setup application by HTC. After switching my radio to GSM and getting the little box in the top right corner I started the app but I get an error immediately saying that there is not a a valid SIM card or PIN and I need one of those; upon which the application shuts down and I can go no further. I wonder if this is because of me being on Tango or if Connection Setup has been updated to prevent this sort of unlock.

On a side note I lost my data while trying to do this (which makes the day extremely inconvenient) but was able to fix it by following your steps at the bottom of your first post. I, however, had to select verizon and U.S. manually in Connection Setup to get it to work.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If your phone is fully up to date, you probably can't use this hack. What is your Firmware version, or SPL (bootloader) version?

It has nothing to do with the OS version at all, but typically as you install OS updates you may also receive OEM (HTC in this case) updates. Those will update the bootloader and radio and firmware, and one of the things they change blocks hacks like this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Esazi:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MetalHd:
I too have a Verizon Trophy with all upgrades.. when I go to change from CDMA to GSM, it is greyed out, and wont allow me to select it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dsramesh:
My Verizon Phone was unlocked before the Tango Update. I tried relockprevent.xap and it wanted root access and so tried to run WP7 root tools and it said that this device is not supported. So, I am now locked in Tango update. I am going to restore to my backup and go back to previous release. I have gone back and forth trying to unlock after the Tango and now given up.

Looks like there is no way to update without preventing the lock on HTC Verizon phones unless moving to a custom ROM.

My version after rolling back to 8107 (interop unlocked) last night is:

I already flash several roms tho the phone and try to jailbreak with Chevronwp7 or chevronlabs, nothing works and so I can't interop unlock the phone any more. Now I'm always getting the error - 89740005

I appreciate any help

I see your on tango, you updated the Samsung firmware didn't you?

did you use zune or did you cab send it? with a bit of luck you can roll back the Samsung update which will help fix this

if you used zune then go to zune, setting, phone, update, restore. if you cant restore to the pre Samsung firmware update then your out of luck, Samsung 'fixed' it so it no longer works
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JP8296:
Yes I did it with zune, but the problem is that i got the same error even without tango, rigth afer flash a new firmware (I8700EIRJK1) even before the nodo updade I still get this error.

I already try to restore with zune but no good.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
tango messes up the dev unlock, but the Samsung firmware update stops your ability to deploy reg entries through XML files.

however that firmware is the older one so it should be ok.

you say restore with zune was no good, do you mean it restored but didn't work, or it wouldn't restore?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JP8296:
I did the restore with zune but it didn't fix the problem.

Is possably that when I flash a the firmware and in order to use chevronlabs it need to update to wp7.5 the firmware is apudate to a version that no longer possible the unlock?

with the old rom i get:

OS: 7.0.7004.0

Firmware revision number: 2424.10.11.1

Hardware revision number: 3.15.0.4
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
Not sure if this is an issue but if you are trying to use Chevron Labs the tokens no longer work as of Saturday (it was revoked as of this date). Chevron Labs is no more.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JP8296:
So there is any other way so that I can unlock my phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
Have you tried Windowbreak? It requires having the first gen drivers. Otherwise you have to sign up for an AppHub account (now called DevCenter).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JP8296:
No..I'm going to give it a try..

@Heathcliff74 Hello, I've read the past 100 pages or so since you first posted the test for Nokia users, but I'm a newb here so forgive me if I missed or misunderstood something.

I understand that your method doesn't work, but I also saw on a blog you linked to that interop unlocking Has been worked out for the 710 and the 800, but nothing for the 900, correct? Are there any other users that are also working on this that I can watch? (before I read this thread I had scoured the internet for info on this so I'm not blindly asking)

Before I had read this thread I had also spent hours trying to get your method to work, so I'm going to post what I did for giggles:

Installed Windows Phone Device Manager and SDK 7.1, registered my device in the Dev Center using a student account, installed Nokia's "Network Setup", used WP Device Manager to move your xap to my phone and then opened Network Setup. Here's where I reached my problem (you know, other than the method not working in the end): I can't get Network Setup to do anything. It just always says it's looking for the network settings. I'm going to contact Nokia as well as Windows for a solution and post what I find; I figure someone with a Samsung /HTC/LG might appreciate it if they happen to run into this problem.

Thanks for your hard work, I do appreciate it even if a solution hasn't been found yet. #0B248277TF664142X
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hi Rebecca,

Unfortunately, there is no way for SMS backup for Nokia Lumia 900. It is correct that only some lucky few with a Lumia 710 and 800, which have unlocked bootloaders, are able to unlock their phone. But to be able to backup SMS you need more than Interop Unlock. You would need Policy Unlock or Full Unlock (but Interop Unlock would be a first step to accomplish that). Fortunately, I do have some new angles to investigate for Nokia devices and I plan on doing that in the next days/weeks. I hope that will be successful, but I can obviously not guarantee anything.

Thanks for the donation, and I will do my best to return you the favor.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] minkamagic:
Hi again.

Unless something changed, there is a guy who developed a program called SMSBackup that only needs interop unlock to work, but as its impossible for my phone currently, I'll just have to wait. Again, sorry for the confusion, the original note that I sent was old news that I thought didn't send, but this information here is up to date. I really hope whatever new angles you found work, there will be very many happy Lumia users out there. :)

Thanks again!!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@Cabrini: You can check your driver version by looking at the Firmware or Bootloader version in Settings -> About -> More. The OS version (what you included in your post) is pretty much irrelevant to whether or not you can interop-unlock, although it does control whether or not you *need to* interop-unlock.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@chakli: A few things to try.

A) Try doing the interop-unlock while the phone is already connected to Zune. It shouldn't matter, if you use the "prevent relock" portion (where you clear the two URL registry values), but it won't hurt.

B) After changing the values, try reading them again to make sure the change took. If the MaxUnsignedApp value is > 300, you're interop-unlocked.

C) Make sure you remember to do the prevent-relock steps! Otherwise, the phone will re-lock periodically, including whenever it is plugged in.

@GoodDayToDie: I have been following many of your insightful posts on technical details of WP7. Thanks for those!!

Now, With lots of 7.8 ROMs floating around, unfortunately few 2nd gen devices being left out from the 7.8 party. I own a Samsung Focus Flash aka. Omnia W which doesn't have any working interop-unlock currently.

In 7.8 ROMS thread, read through the below posts.

User Guillote stated that Focus S is same as Focus flash besides size. If its true, will you be able to provide the CID of Focus Flash/Omnia W which sianto1997 is asking for?

Or is it completely not possible ATM to flash any custom ROM for Focus flash/Omnia W without any working interop-unlocks / flasher / unlocked boot loader ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
its not possible to flash a focus s either, I can't even get the download mode to dump the rom that is on it, let alone flash anything, even if we could flash the focus s, we have no signed ROM to flash, meaning we would need to change the bootldr as well
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@Cabrini: Those are somewhat odd version numbers. Do you have a GSM HTC Trophy, or a Verizon (CDMA) Trophy?

If it's the former, you're somehow running an extremely old version of the firmware, and yet have a fairly recent version of the bootloader (very odd, as usually those are installed together). If it's the CDMA model, I really don't know what those numbers mean off the top of my head and would have to look them up. The fact that apps can't see the compass suggests that it is, in fact, an old firmware (HTC's Mango firmware, version 2250.XX.4XXXX or later, supports this).

One thing that's worth noting: the HTC Connection Setup app may itself be too new to use this hack (it relied on what looked like some debug functionality). Unfortunately, the only ways I know of to downgrade the app (assuming that you don't already have interop-unlock) are to roll back to an old backup from before the app was updated, or to hard-reset the phone.

If you do have the Verizon / CDMA version of the Trophy, there are specific extra steps you need to follow in order to interop-unlock, because Connection Setup won't work correctly when in CDMA mode.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cabrini:
Hello. Me HTC is Vodafone-Spain. This is the information as it leaves in configuration, it is a safety copy that I did being in Mango 7720 and the bootloader was in 4XXXX but when I updated the drivers of HTC it rose to 5XXXX (in this safety copy the drivers of HTC are not updated but the bootloader is supported in 5XXXXX. But the curious thing is that in the app Connection Setup, when you go to countries Interop-Unlock does not go out... I believe that I will try to do Goldcard and we will see already... Thank you anyhow and greetings.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Ah, that may explain it (sorry; your English is a little hard to understand; better than my Spanish though). If you ever installed SPL 5 (by fully updating the HTC drivers) and then used a restore point backup to downgrade again, your SPL version would have stayed at 5.x but your firmware version would have downgraded.
