Radar 7740: The option shows up, I can "apply" it but it does nothing.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] TeNsTrKe15:
Surround 7740: I can apply Phone Customization but when I open HTCInteropUnlock app, nothing happens
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Read the instructions...You just install the app and the follow the other steps. No need to open it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Nothing special is supposed to happen. The change is invisible. As for the Interop Unlock app itself, it's just a stub - all of the "what it does" is entirely in the install process. Once it's installed, you can even remove the app.

Try installing this app: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1238519

If you can install it (without modifying the XAP file) then your interop-unlock worked!

Alternatively, try installing Registry Editor 1.2.0.0 from TouchXperience: http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593. It goes in the Settings hub, but if you can install and run that, then there was great success!

I suspect this might not work if you have the HTC updates installed.... the OP indicated he has not installed any HTC updates
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jandevries12:
Ok, tried this on my HTC Titan.

I selected "Phone Customization" as country and "Dev and Interop Unlock" as carrier and applied these settings. The Connection Setup app reported that it successfully configured the phone.

But ... it does not seem to have any effect (yet, I hope!). I still can't sideload more than 10 apps.

My Titan is on WP7 version 7.10.7740.16.

Connection Setup app is version 1.12 (build 2119.18323)/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
I'm hoping it works anyhow, but it's possible it wouldn't. It really depends what's in those updates.

For example, we know they modified the HTCFileUtility driver in some way, but we don't know exactly how. TouchXplorer stopped working, but Connection Setup (which also uses ComFileRW.dll) still works. I know it works because if it didn't, you wouldn't be able to see the Phone Customization option.

It's possible that the update made some other change that made it impossible to change the MaxUnsignedApp value from within Connection Setup or something unfortunate like that.

I can modify the app to make some more obvious change when Connection Setup does its thing. For example, forcibly change your phone's accent color or some such. Really, though, I'm hoping that won't be needed.

One thing to try is rebooting the phone. I don't think it's required, but it can't hurt and might help.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
Can you make it write to a specific registry path and then tell us what that path is. I would like to see if it can at least write to the registry.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] stryker09:
Dev/Interop applies from Connection Setup but can't install an app with interop (ansar's USBModeSwitch XAP) enabled (in my case 3rd unsigned app since i have a student account).

Mozart 7720, with latest HTC updates installed.

update: rebooted. not installing still. it auto-starts Connection Setup, ran it again, doesnt work still.

cheers.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jandevries12:
Rebooting does not help... Still can't sideload more than 10 apps.

I think it would be a good idea to try and edit some other registry setting in the provxml, that has visible consequences. Then at least we can verify if changing that setting works.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Barbbachello:
Didnt work for me. Unbranded HD7, HTC Updates 7720.

Sounds promising though
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@MJCS: It already writes a test value to the registry:

KEY: HKCU\Software\DeployProvXml

VALUE: InteropUnlock

DATA: "Success" (String)

Can somebody who was already interop-unlocked but has installed the HTC updates use this app, then check if that value exists? It does on my phone, but of course I don't have the HTC updates.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MJCS:
What are the passwords for the dbz files?

Nevermind its 030D681B-1DFC-4bd0-A72A-A9B3CCCDA653

Yeah there must be some sort of time-bomb that clears out the interop setting.

My HD7S has all the latest updates, and is already interop-unlocked.

I tried the app out, and checked the registry and found no such entry.

I hope you get this figured out today before I pick up my Titan. Haha.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ryotgz:
Best of luck. My Titan is scheduled to be delivered Monday. Not only have you interop unlocked my Focus, but hopefully soon to be Titan. :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
First test results are disappointing. :(

I did some test and I expected to see some results but there are none. It could be because the HD7 is on a custom DFT ROM. @ceesheim created stock rom, that I can flash (rom without SPL). I will try that tomorrow and I will try to find the reason for these disappointing results. I still believe it should be possible with these tools and exploits. To be continued...

Hey guys - I have a Sprint Arrive waiting if you need help testing something. Since the Arrive can not get the Connection setup to work (keeps saying not supported by your device)... I am not much of a programmer but I can help debug something(s) with a little help :) I am Chevron Labs unlocked...

Sprint Arrive

OS: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware: 2305.13.40301.651

Hardware Revision: 0002

Radio Software: 1.53.00.08.30_23.16w.05.06U

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Hey guys - sorry for the long hiatus without updates from me, but I was in the middle of absolutely nowhere Californian mountains with my family, and had almost no access on my phone or laptop. Anyhow, I'm back now and will look into some more things.

A few interesting things I read on here, and my responses to them:

@Heathcliff74: Good to hear you got your phone, sorry that the exploits didn't work as planned, good luck and keep trying. Let me know (perhaps by PM to make it a *little* harder for HTC to listen in) if you have any ideas you want to run past me.

Connection Setup 1.3: Sounds like it should work. Has anybody given it a try? If it still shows the Phone Customization/Unlock options, it probably still "works" (as well as anything does).

Alternative apps: A possibility, but there are no guarantees. Only a few apps actually use provxml or registry editing DLLs (many include them, but don't always use them). Of those, the only one that I know consumes external provxml (i.e. stuff that isn't hardcoded into the app) is Connection Setup. Besides, even finding an alternate app won't get past the problem with modifying the vital registry value not being allowed.

People claiming it works (or doesn't) when it shouldn't (or should): Please remember that the Mango (7720.68) update for pretty much all HTC phones included the killer HTC update. The only way to avoid getting it that I know to have worked was to upgrade from a non-retail Mango version (such as 7712) to the retail build, and then cancel the HTC update installation that starts immediately after.

EDIT: I'll soon release a new version of this app that allows you to "clean up" the changes it made to the phone. You'll need this for Connection Setup to work correctly again!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceesheim:
the dft rom is a cooked rom modded to the max , I think that most problems come du to that rom.

just run the rspl by cotulla (look what stock spl is on it ) and then flash the rom I made you (for you all , its the

RUU_Schubert_S_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.04_Radio_5.71.0 9.02a_22.51.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE without the spl)

this is a 7720 rom
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] memeqxda:
my connection setup version is 1.9

it can still display "customize.......", but it seems doesn't work on my phone
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
That's a rather old version of Connection Setup, but I don't think it matters anyhow. The thing that controls whether or not this hack works is determined by the updates installed, not by the Connection Setup version (or at least, no version yet seems to have blocked it).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] roqstr:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hbxntsxw:
Is mosart gsm only device? Why HD7 success?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:
not all hd7 is a success.i"m using hd7.I'm not sure about mozart but i think it is on gsm only.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Let me be clear here: the GSM thing is just so you can run Connection Setup at all. *ALL* HTC devices except for the Arrive (rebranded HTC 7 Pro sold through Sprint) are GSM capable. For Verizon's version of the Trophy, you need to follow the instructions posted by lucas.scott to switch it to GSM mode temporarily. For all HD7/Surround/Mozart/etc, they are already on GSM.

Now, as for why the hack works for some people and not others, even when they seem to have the same phone... that, we're still investigating. However, I will say this: use Heathcliff74's version of the app. It *should* work on phones with the HTC Mango update (unlike the version in the first post of this thread).

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@hbxntsxw: Did you install Heathcliff74's XAP after installing mine? His overwrites the changes mine makes. If his doesn't work though, I would be quite astonished if mine did.

@Core2pt: That's just a bug in Advanced Config. I think it's a memory usage issue. Try running it right after rebooting the phone (or try putting the phone in Airplane mode; some people have said that helps) and it's more likely to work for you. In any case, the fact that you can install it at all means Interop Unlock worked completely for you. We're not responsible for bugs in the apps that use it, though! :-)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@NachoNut: The re-running Connection Setup thing is a weird bug, but we're working on it. The work-around is to just uninstall Connection Setup. If you reboot before you re-install it, then the problem *shouldn't* come back even after reinstall.

Also, uninstalling the Interop Unlock app affects absolutely nothing. You can uninstall it the moment its install finishes, if you want. However, after using Connection Setup with Heathcliff's method, your Connection Setup should no longer show Interop Unlock as an option.

@anttaz: If you have max sideload, then you're already interop unlocked. That's all interop unlock is; change the MaxUnsignedApp registry value to a large number (anything over 300 works, we typically use a few billion).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] NachoNut:
All very weird. I'll see what comes in time with your findings.

Let me just give you my info so you have something to go along with it.

Feel free to PM me if you want any tests done.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@anttaz: Can you install apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES? If so, your phone is interop-unlocked.

Now, as to why your interop apps aren't working, that's probably just due to bugs in them (I assume you're using a stock ROM, not a custom one) or limitations imposed by the HTC updates. Registry Editor should be able to browse, but won't be able to write to most registry values. Advanced Config will similarly be unable to make some tweaks, and will also crash frequently (the first is the HTC update limiting its capability, the second is just that it's buggy).
