hello i have a samsung omnia w running os version 7.10.8773.98..i know its the latest version..at any cost i can roll back to 7.10.8107.79..

now i came to have this doubt..if i get a student licence from microsoft(coz i AM one), then is it possible to interop unlock by making some necessary changes in registry using a registry editor??please help..i have possibly tried all methods of unlocking my phone..and i have failed..if u think this will work, then please post what are the necessary changes that have to be made in registry to interop unlock it here are my device details..

OS version 7.10.8773.98

fw rev. no. 2424.12.04.3

hw rev. no. 0424.12.3.1

i dont think others are significant..what i expect from my phone is that i should be able sideload apps, should have a good file manager(even if bt file transfer is not available thats ok), and to have advantages of homebrew apps..please help me.

thanks in advance..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
see when you reply....sometimes handy to "trim" the original post ;)

dev unlock will not give you the full shebang, many of the apps on here wont work still as you need interop unlock, your device can be unlocked but your firmware version is to new so unless you can downgrade it with a backed up image and let us know what the firmware version is we cant help you any more.

Note that some devices have come preloaded with the newer firmware version, if that is the case then your up the creak my friend, downgrade if you can and let us know what the firmware version is then
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
thanks..i will definitely trim the original post from now on, if its too long sorry..my phone came with this fw revision no..i can roll back to 7.10.8107.79 at any cost cuz thats the os version in my backed up copy..not earlier than that..i think i can sideload a file explorer with dev lock..and please clear this doubt for me..

are the registry tweaks enough to change from dev unlocked to interop unlocked??in my status of having this "too new" f/w revision no. can i sideload any available registry editor at least if they are signed??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
IIRC Dev unlock will not give you the ability to edit the reg, you can side load apps, most home brew apps wont work either
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
please clarify these doubts for me..i hope u can understand what and how much a big noob i am from what i gonna say now..

1.since zune backups are device specific and contain backup info of all system settings, and since it is possible to roll back to that f/w via zune anytime,-- it should be possible to modify the backup image file so as to:

--interop unlock the device and prevent device to contact MS and relock the device by making registry changes..

--roll back to that firmware using zune

--enjoy interop unlocked device

devs can teach us how to edit registry of backup file image once they find out..

2.this is specific to my case of having owned an omnia w in india..as i posted above, going to samsung service centres and asking them to flash the first mango builds of 7720 or 7740 coz omnia w had been released with that build of mango..bcoz as i have seen, people in service centres especially in samsung are the biggest and dumbest noobs i have ever seen..for instance:for pink spot issue of galaxy s2 the service agent had got imported the front facing camera with proximity and ambient light sensorsinstead of advicing the customer that it is present in every sgs2 that is manufactured..

3.registering as a student allows to sideload apps and also submit apps for beta testing in marketplace..how about submitting a registry editor to marketplace as a student and downloading it on the phone(i am adding the third option half heartedly coz i think MS would not allow such apps to be in marketplace even in beta testing phase..i donno whether i am right or wrong)??

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
I don't have time to post in full, I will do so later, but here is the crux of it. The backup is encrypted, you can't extract it yet, but it is an avenue of research, im not sure if Zune requires it to be signed or not, if it does we are screwed, if not then potentially you could edit it IF you can decrypt it which isn't possible yet

Reg editors require a higher level of permissions, market place apps do not have that and won't get it either, the only way to get a reg editor on and working is to have the ability to change the reg in the first place, this is why the lumia 900 isn't interop unlocked, because we can't change the reg using an OEM flaw in their setup programs
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
i read at wp7roottools.com that only OEMs and some of the very close partners of microsoft like adobe are given access to run native coded applications and one of such application is wireless manager for 2nd gen samsung devices using which interop unlocking is done by windowbreak method..and so i tried to upload wp7roottools xap to dev centre as beta to be allowed for download by only one user that is myself with a different windows live account..it said no app errors and warnings and a metric tone of xap errors..i didnt get why this happened..now i know..thanks for clarifying..

just a thought, instead of researching and trying to accomplish what cant be done(at least in case of devices like mine-omnia w) like trying to interop unlock or root or full unlock, its better to work on custom bootloaders and custom roms cuz in this situation, i think they are the only way out..no??

and i ve got my omnia w dev unlocked..please suggest the best file explorer..i tried FileBrowser..but it was not a good one..could nt do anything with it..what i expect from the file manager is that i should be able to locate and open the files(if supported) that i transferred from my pc onto the phone..like if i put a pdf using mass storage mode, i should be somehow able to locate and open it using adobe reader..thanks..please suggest a good file explorer for samsung omnia w..

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
phone commander is pretty good http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1474093&page=5

Yes a new swanky bootloader is a nice idea, cept there is no one that has the ability to make one that is willing to do so. getting custom cab support is also another good one, which effectively means we can do what we want with the device

Both of these are however not possible and unless we can get some pointers from the people that know or some hands on help, I doubt we will get anywhere...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
thnx..but phonmander requires interop unlock which my omnia w doesn't have..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
im not sure but I don't think what you want to do is achievable with post mango builds and no interop unlock
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
what i want to do:

--enable mass storage on pc for wp device by 2 or 3 registry changes or using some ******enabler..

--transfer any unsyncable-thru'-zune files like pdfs, docs, ppts etc. to , say pictures or videos folder..

In phone:

--using a file manager, move the pdfs to adobe reader's isolated storage, docs to office hub's storage like that..

isn't there one file manager that can do this without asking for interopservices??

my OS version is 7.10.8773.98

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
No, its well known that MS has done their homework and hasn't been "hacked" only circumvented by OEM mistakes what you want needs higher level access, its not a normal function of the phone and your version of the phone either through updates or as was purchased is locked and that OEM mistake fixed. there's only two ways todo what you want, find a flashable image with a pre tango build of WP, one that lets you change the reg, or .... Somewhat that's not been thought of yet. Sorry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
so sad...:(:(anyway if i am on 8107.79 instead of 8773.98 will it be possible??i mean are there any loopholes that can be exploited, at least compared to 8773??

MS shudn't have done this..MS could have made a rule to void the warranty of those devices that are interop unlocked by non MS accounts if they wanted so much..and allowed the users to play with their devices..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
its not the OS version as such, although in 8773 MS did make it phone home to relock, but that was easily preventable

no, what stops you unlocking was Samsung fixing its software an drivers,if you dont have the old firmware then you wont be able to do it.

MS can do whatever they want to do,it is their phone, as to why they do it? well theres a whole lot more people that need the added security, developers, companies, govenments, most end users, they all have no need for it to be unlocked in such a way and are all the better for it being locked.

Take android for example, there is a good reason android has antivirus software for it! theres a good reason their market is full of dodg software. So whilst it is very annoying for us, we are only a small number of users
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
I am placing an OPEN CHALLENGE TO ANY PERSON IN THIS WORLD!!!EVEN I DARE TO CHALLENGE OEMS..MS itself and GOOGLE..

""Windows phone's smoothness, android's customization abilities and iPhone's app store can NEVERRRR be seen in a single phone until 50 YEARS from now""

Though there is nobody to hear me!!:crying:..grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr X(

coz how much ever high end hardware android has, it lags behind in software to hardware optimization..

iPhone is for NERDSSSS!!!and for people who cant find a way to spend money..

Windows phone does not have so many apps as iOS or android..

Samsung Focus S SGH-i937 LE2 Update AT&T-branded (Thanks to Kettmann):

http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._7c77306f9c299d47b491ac080855febbd68c0ccf.cab

I never installed this update with the cab sender.

my phone is un interop-unlockable for some reason.

I did it a few months ago haven't installed any updates, but now I am unable to interop unlock,

Is it possible the new version on the Samsung diagnosis app 0402 doesn't allow the provxml to write? this sucks. I have dev unlocked with apphub, so the next step is getting the phone interop unlocked.

os Version: 7.10.8773.98

FW: 2103.12.05.2

radio: 0.0.0.0 <------ huh?

Bootloader: 6.5.16.0

if anyone has an ideas please share!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Your firmware is way too new. If you read the interop-unlock for Samsung info, it will mention that for gen2 Samsung devices your firmware must be "KK4" or earlier. KK4 -> 11/11/4 -> 4 Nov, 2011. Yours appears to be from 2 May, 2012 (LE2) and is not going to work with the hack used to interop-unlock Samsung devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] goldenpipes:
thanks for the bad news. :) unfortunately i made backups of my restores but i had a hard drive fail in the server they were backed up on. I wish i would have uploaded to SkyDrive. I have 2 focus s's both have the le2 update one of which still has the windowbreak XML implanted. I know for sure that when i used the cab sender i made sure not to update the firmware cab. Maybe Zune did it w/o me knowing?/paying attention. At any rate i have a SoC from a broken focus s that i am going to put in and see what firmware is on it. It might.be a demo unit. Why can't we just get a 7720 rom for this device so we can get some custom rom love....

Actually off topic how does that work? Does someone at Samsung need to leak the bootloader or something? I mean the phone is EOL i can't believe it's not out there yet. Or maybe no one cares since wp8 is out now.

Sorry for the off topic ranting.

Happy thanksgiving xda!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Actually, bootloader unlocks are only needed for custom ROMs. So long as you're flashing a stock ROM, all you need is the ROM image and a flashing tool. Unfortunately, Samsung seems to be holding these close. We have flashing tools and ROM for the gen1 phones (and bootloader unlock, so custom ROMs are possible), but I don't even know if we have official ROMs for the gen2, and we definitely don't have a working flashing tool. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] HotKillerZzz:
can this be done on lumia 900?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
we have a ROM for the Focus Flash / Omnia W, but its useless, the ROM is signed and contains the newer Samsung Firmware. The Flash Tools from Gen 1 will work with Gen 2 devices.

There is nothing for the Focus 2 or Focus S, once you let it update, if you didn't get a backup, you are screwed, theres also reports of devices coming pre loaded with it too now.

Ive had no success in even extracting the ROM on the device, only thing left is to physically take it directly from the EEPROM,

unless someone knows how to modify part of the EEPROM without having to flash it all the only option as far as I can see now is to have a custom bootloader, which lets us flash a custom ROM, (we only need to change the certificate store) the only people able to do that are very busy and very unlikely to be able to help as they don't have our devices either.

perhaps we can pull the date from the EEPROM, edit it then feed it back to it without it being signed, but that is obviously extremely complicated work and expensive. .

Tip for you, don't go posting the same question a number of times on different threads, the one you did before bumped an old thread that is outdated which isn't handy and can be confusing for some people. again, the answer is No.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I will soon have more time to concentrate on Nokia. I already wasted a huge amount of time on Nokia's; so far no useful vulnerabilities found in bootloader or high-privileged code. But I still have some idea's that might work, so I'm gonna investigate more and I hope to have good news soon.

Anybody please forward me to samsung bootloader development threads..

---------- Post added at 01:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------

i think u require an unlocked custom bootloader to install any unsigned .cab files..

hey wait wait wait...is there a copy of all certificates(if not at least one) available which are not accessible to locked users??if u have any one of them, u can just sign a registry editor cab with it and use wp7 update cab sender to install it..but i need one from a samsung device..that would allow us to IU easily..dazza9075 just said the certs that we used to install from email or IE(like for chevron unlocker) are not saved to the built in cert store of MS and OEMs..i just tried to install registry editor.cab file downloaded from touchexperience.com..it said the cab is digitally unsigned..

so is there any certificate copies from different 2nd gen samsung devices available??

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Not sure you understand how signatures and certificates (and public key cryptography in general) work. The certs on the phones are easy to get at; you can dump them from any ROM image or pull them off a running phone if you have registry of filesystem access. The problem is, they only have the public keys in them. A public key is used to *verify* a signature, but you can't use it to create one. For that, you need the corresponding private key, and MS keeps an extremely close watch over those.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
Yeah..actually I didn't know how files are signed..i didn't know that one needs private keys to sign with a cer..thanks to heathcliff74 for clarifying me about this on windowbreak thread..

what is the difference between them?

maybe it will help?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
unfortunately i dont have an HTC..so i dont know about it completely..touchxperience works without interop unlock but with minimal functionalities..it is just used to help windows phone device manager(on ur pc) to connect to ur phone for the purpose of exploring phone's files and folders(not as a system wide file manager if u don't have interop unlock), access different applications' isolated storages..u can use ur phone like any android phone if u have interop unlock..without IU, its functionalities are minimal..like only installing an application from pc(u cant manage apps installed from marketplace), see the folders on ur phone(u cant edit them)..

touchxplorer, they say its HTC only..and needs interop unlock and doesn't work otherwise..if u are just dev-unlocked and NOT interop unlocked, u better go with touchxperience..

anybody feel free to correct me if i am wrong..

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
here's the problem..the new firmware replaces the old rapiconfig.exe which looks into provisioning files in \provxml folder everytime u open gps manager with a new one that does not look into it for the same..so solution is roll back to kk1 firmware(as ur device is omnia 7) using zune and try again..even if u are on 8773.98 thats ok..but u have to have kk1 firmware when u dial *#1234# in diagnosis..and as soon as u interop unlock successfully, the first thing u must do is sideload wp7roottools and preventRelock.xap and prevent relocking by firmware updates using the latter one..anybody correct me if i am wrong..

for more information on how to update without getting relocked, consult dazza9075..;)because dazza9075 told me how he used to update his phone without getting relocked creating backups after every milestone..hehe i didnt understand that completely..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:

yea, this is dumb question but, wondering if anyone has tried it...

Will the HTC Connection setup trick work on a HTC 8x with Windows Phone 8 or are we too early for that ? Dev unlocked here, just wondering...The limit of 3 apps is too limited for me :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
I don't think it's gonna work..coz the kernel for wp8 is entirely different than that for wp7/7.5..so hold tight

And for me, its not the limit of unsigned apps that can be sideloaded..but the apps get privileges to access only their isolated storage..that matters me a lot..

I'm just asking, what would happen if I tried flashing this on my dev-unlocked Dell Venue Pro? Because I seriously doubt that DELL cares enough about their products to implement locks like Samsung and HTC. In fact their firmware version is 7720(released about a year ago). I don't really mind having to reset if there's a chance it could work.

Flashing is different from unlocking..if u flash Omnia w's or anyrom that is not meant for ur device, it will be bricked..and it has been confirmed tat windowbreak is not working on dvp..

Sent from my GT-I8350 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] goldenpipes:
the only way you can unlock a dvp is to have your phone pre-mango, use chevron Orr apphub to unlock then go in and change registry entries to allow interop unlock when you update to mango. Then there's a relock preventer etc.

Good luck
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prahladvarda:
dvp is one of the first Gen wp7 devices..i think no dvp has been sold with mango out of the box..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] goldenpipes:
right, I mean as long as they can backup to pre-mango And unlock it and install a reg editor that survives the mango update, change registry entries to prevent relock, and interop unlock they will be good to go.

But if they have already updated and can't restore back to say 7004 or even nodo they are probably screwed unless someone at dell knows a backdoor built in their drivers like HTCs connection utility, samsungs diagnosis, or LG's mfg app.

Good luck dvp owners! I'd look in the DVP general forums for info.

If you have the original firmware, it launches up a field test - kinda thing where you can check everything(eCompass,vibrator,all that stuff) and you can use a reg editor(only reads though :( ) but the new firmware ruins everything....there's almost nothing left now. But the new firmware fixes the 256MB bug.
