windowsbreak project is stopped or working on the 8107 gen 2?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cyclops13:
Tried all the steps listed in the video on my Samsung Focus. Installed the miniSDK and XAPAssistant, but it wont detect my phone at all. Tried all over a few times, but no success. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Folks, it's not the OS number. Stop asking if it works on a given OS build. Read the thread - it's your firmware version (and your Diagnostics version, if you updated it) that matters.

@imr.uvce: Yes, it can work on a gen2 8107 Samsung phone... if you have the KK4 firmware or before (I believe that's the last working version).

@cyclops13: You probably have KK2 firmware or newer. You'll need to downgrade...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] P.Alexey:
If I was able to downgrade the firmware from the 7180 -> 7740 (7720) then I would not write here and didn't ask for help!

When buying my phone it was already installed this version and Bacup Nope!

Samsung Focus 2

I can add that the Samsung Focus 2 is on 8112 and the Windows Break does not work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cyclops13:
Thanks, but how do I know if I am on KK2?

Mine is a focus 1.3 with OS version 7.10.7720.68, firmware revision version 2103.11.8.1 and diagnosis version is 0103.

Any luck?

I have tried reading, but apparently my eyes are not working :(

I have a Omnia W, firmware 2424.12.01.1 and Diagnostic ver. 1109

Have tried the diag menu (with the windows break me website) but the option to choose window break me does not show... The only 3 options there is Gumi test bed, suwon2g test bed and suwon3g test bed...

Anyone have any tips? tried full sync first, tried network profile from samsung zone, but it wont start (says my device is not supporting network profile use wireless manager instead)

i'm not gonna get unloack i'm i? :)

Hey Masterminds! Since using Windows Break I've lost my GPS functionality. When I load a map based program the device will search for satellites and that is as far as it will go. Any idea what I can do to get this working? Thanks much!

Besides, how is it possible to sync Omnia W with Outlook 2010 in windows 7? I tried using Window Mobile Device Center but it didn't work.

Thanks a lot!

Setup a live ID and then use outlook connector to sync to live, once synced to live use your live account to sync to your phone.

How to downgrade Omnia W. Maybe it works...

Thanks for your help.

The only way I found to sync my Omnia W and my calendar is to copy all appointments in an hotmail account using outlook connector from Outlook. But I'm sure this is the proper way, since I cannot still sync to Google calendar.

Anyway, I found a procedure which assures to downgrade my phone. It seems working...

Here is the link: 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=284784&st=140#entry13341130

Unfortunately files are deleted on the web; is there anyone who can help me finding those files?

instead of breaking the windows cant we just raise the window or simply just open it? what we do in this aspect is raise the restraints of the windows OS being closed. IJS.

Does Tango update for Omnia by any case affect WindowBreak?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] daddyrazzy:
it did for me :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] d.a.v.o.r:
You mean it reverted the windowbreak, or you are now unable to apply it?!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] daddyrazzy:
both, it reverted back, and when i went to the gprs tool, it didn't work again, it said saved sucsesfull but no change, no windows break
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] d.a.v.o.r:

how to get working again xap handler, wp7roottool etcetera?

something is still working, i have 15 task windows in task manager and my ringtone to sms app (to use ringtone as sms tones) seems to work

registry editor is gone, sms backup gone, bazar installations gone...

:(

(sorry me if this is ot here, but i think this is related to a incopatibility between tango and interop unlock)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
From the looks of it, you'll have to reapply the interop unlock. See if you are able to still push XAPs to your phone and try HeathCliff74's Interop Unlock (goto http://www.wp7roottools.com) or try DiagProvXML from Marvin_S
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] znial:
i cannot push any xap to phone

anyway i have installed heatcliff interop a lot of time ago and is still there and it start and seem to work, but i cannot push anything and cannot access to registry...

i dont know DiagProvXML from Marvin_S
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lil_dipo@yahoo.com:
Its not the tango update that should stop the windowbreak from working, its the samsung update from zune that breaks the interop unlock. Atleast for my case on the samsung focus s.

I have a samsung focus s and i used the cab update to go from 8107 to tango succesfully and once my phone restarted used the diagnostic and window broke it again and i was still interop unlocked. i connected my phone to zune and saw the samsung update and updated but luckily it mad a back up and that is when i lost interop unlock. The samsung update fixed the keyboard lag issue on the focus but it wasnt a good enough trade of for me so i just restored back to before the samsung update and i am on tango now and still interop unlocked.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] safariking:
Can I test for Nokia lumia 610???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@safariking: There's nothing to test! WindowBreak uses a Samsung-specific behavior; it won't work on a Lumia. I suppose if/when an equivalent hack is found for Nokia, you could test it then, but there's not much point in volunteering now. It's like offering to be the first colonist to Mars... cool, but kind of a useless thing to offer right now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vzak120269:
I'm with Omnia 7 (OS 7.10.8773.88 / FW 2424.11.9.4 / Boot : 4.10.1.9) with a "student unlock" app-hub account. Installed 3 .XAPs so I assume my limit is reached ...

So considering the WindowBreak unlock to be able to install more , so couple questions regarding this :

- do I need to relock device before applying Windowbreak (remove "student unlock") ?

- do I need to roll back version? my OS is 8773,

but FW / Boot quite old ones

- please check the picture.

View attachment 1215084

(I saw in this post, the guy succeeded on 8773 with same firmware)

- if I have toroll back, which version to roll back to apply WindowBreak ? have restore points at 7740 and 8107.

- then how to roll forward than to 8773 without loosing Windowbreak effect ? There are many comments on this topic , but sorry - as a beginner, could not find a clear cut one :(

Thanks a lot for your great help
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
You do not need to undo your student unlock; it'll become obsolete after WindowBreak either way. The reason WindowBreak doesn't work on 8773 is due to the KK2 Samsung update. To avoid this, roll back to 7740, apply WindowBreak, then manually update to 8773. This guide may be helpful/serve as a good warning:

No, it doesn't work after the KK2 update. This has been known for quite some time now.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Crash1k:
Ah, sorry, I didn't express myself in the right way. What I wanted to say was, is there a workaround for this, something like, how can I get back to my old OS-Version, deploy the relockPrevent.xap and update my Phone once again.

Sorry again. It was clear to me that it won't work (but English ain't my native language).

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
Has anyone, by any chance, tried to Windowbreak with a device running Tango 8773 (but of course with firmware earlier than KK2 / 2424.12.2.2)? I've tried at 8107 with success as far as I remember, but I'm to commited to hard-reset now to test (I'll report back when I do)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] goldsmit409:
will nothing happen for omnia w :(

plz devs.....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
If you have the KK2 update, it will NOT work. No workaround. Going back to a previous backup will not fix this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
@Snickler: goldsmit409 has got a OmniaW and the Windowbreak-preventing firmware is later than KK4 (KK4 is the latest ''good'' fw, KK1 is for Omnia7, with KK2 being bad bad bad)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] goldsmit409:
thanks guys i know about those firmwares i was talking about those omnia w which were updated already out-of-box

i just wanted to know is any dev even looking into it or its all dead for omnia w
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
Could you clarify what do you mean by KK2 update. So far I considered KK2 update is a firmware update that boosted firmware revision to 2424.12.2.2 (talking fr the Omnia 7), and that fw was the reason for disabling provxml capabilities through the diagnosis trick. I thought it was a fw issue and not an os issue.

Because it is possible to update to 8107, or even 8773 without getting any OEM fw updates (and I dont necessarily mean by manually sending the os update cabs, but i have personally update 2 different Omnia 7 (with differrent original ROMS / csc's / networks / regional settings) via Zune all the way to 8773 and I have been to fw earlier than 2424.12.2.2

So is WindowBreak with os 8107 and later a no-go even if firmware is earlier than 2424.12.2.2???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
The OS version is irrelevant. 8773 or 7004, all that matters is the firmware version and Diagnostics app version

With that said, I've heard that Samsung pushed a Diagnostics app update via Marketplace that disabled the provxml loading. If you installed it, you can roll this back to the version in your firmware by uninstalling the app from the app list, then reinstalling it using the phone dialer.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
That was my assumption, as far as my knowledge goes. But I am a man of trial and error and at that time a hard reset to check this out is not gonna happen. Damn you WP7 back-up system.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] barryweston:
Hey...great work on this! Always good to see older devices finding new life through homebrew.

I apologize if this is mentioned somewhere in the 70 pages in replies, however, I had two questions that I never sawe clear answers to.

1) I have 7.10.8773.98, which from my understanding, doesn't matter, but my FW versionms is 2124.11.9.4. From my reading, I should still be able to go ahead and WindowBreak with this setup?

2) Do I need to reset my phone before doing this? Or can I do it in place without a reset? I ask because I am wanting to install Nokia Drive 3 on my focus for a trip I am going on, tomorrow. If I need a reset, thats fine, but will do all of this after the trip.

Again, sorry if this was answered, I just never saw it answered clearly.

Thanks! and thanks again Jaxbot for the great work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
You can WindowBreak right away. NO NEED to reset. Report back for success. The fw that blocks WindowBreak is xxxx.12.2.2. You should be ok (but there is some controversy). That's why your reporting back is essential.

Hello!

Please anyone tell any method of unlocking Samsung Omnia M ver.8773 :(. Noe of methods are working to unlock it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
let me guess, you updated your device with the Samsung updates?

if so you need to roll back to a previous version backup if you have one, if you dont then..... oops.....for now at least

oh I see you from many other posts you had tango and Samsung updates pre installed.

If that is indeed the case then your probably out of luck, there is minimal work on Samsung 2nd gen hardware getting much attention unfortunately.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
No firmware version from 2012 (the "12" in 2424.12.04.1) will work. You need KK4 (4 Nov 2011) or earlier for a gen2 Samsung phone.

Yeah! Mine is 2424.12.06.4 (Samsung Omnia M). How do i downgrade my firmware?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
You can't as far as I am aware, the message has aways been DONT install it unless you have a backup....if it comes preinstalled then unless there is something ive not yet seen, your out of luck
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bvneet:
That means i can't install apps nd games on my phone. :crying::crying:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
There's this thing calld the "Marketplace" that comes preinstalled on every Windows phone. You can get apps and games there...

XDA-Devs is not about, and explicitly does not support, piracy. If you just want to install stuff without paying for it, get out; we don't want you here.This is a developer forum; a lot of us have official apps too.

With that said, yeah, there's no currently known way to downgrade the firmware on a Samsung gen2 phone. I'm sure it's possible but nobody seems to have the required tool. If you were to do some searching, you'd quickly find the info about the furthest that our attempts in that area have gotten.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bvneet:
Hey hey hey....cool down man! And from i can't download paid apps from Marketplace for free. That's why i needed to unlock my phone :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
you didn't just say " you can't download paid for apps from the marketplace for free, that's why I need to unlock my phone" did you?

Free and paid are very different an you won't get any help at all from people on xda if your trying to get paid for apps for nothing.

I hope you mean that where you are you can't download ANY apps on the market? which is unfortunate but there are perfectly legal ways to get around that with out the need to pirate.

However, you have learnt a very important lesson today and that is the importance of researching a device before buying it, sorry my friend, but unless we get a new crack for samsung gen2 devices or means to install a new SPL and thus custom ROMS we are out of luck
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bvneet:
I didn't say that i can't download any app...i can download just those boring free ones...and dude every person unlocks its phone for different reasons....one is to get paid apps for free too...many people do unlock for this reason too...i am not just the only one..so was just askin if i could unlock mine too but i think now i got my answer!! :(:(

Hi

I have a AT&T Samsung SGH - i667 Focus 2 whcih is 4 months old and *is* un-locked.

=> are there any plans to make windowbreak work with this phone ?

Thanks,

Ben
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
if it is unlocked what do youneed this for? or do you mean its network unlocked?

as for the phone,2nd gen samsungs work just fine on this, that is unless you installed the samsung update which crippled the unlocking ability, if you did that then unless you have a backup saved your screwed!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ben ifin:
Hi

Many thanks for your note.

To clarify - my phone is (a) Network un-locked and (b) only about 3 months old and (c) I have not connected it to anything ( Zune, Kies etc... ) for updating.

What I am actually trying to do is to access the Internet Sharing facility so I can share / wi-fi-hot-spot with the phone on my non-AT&T ntwork and it looks like I need to " windowbreak " it in order to be able to do this.

Or perhaps is there some other way to acheive this ?

Any help / suggestions would be massivly appreciated.

Ben
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If your phone is that new, it probably already came with the "fixed" firmware that prevents WindowBreak. What is your firmware (NOT the OS!) version? It needs to be from 04 Nov 2011 (KK4) or before to be compatible.

While technically speaking you don't need WindowBreak specifically in order to enable the Internet Sharing feature, the hack that we have for doing it uses the same exploit and is fixed in the same firmware patch.

However, Internet Sharing is also supposed to be enabled for anybody with a fully up-to-date phone. The reason some people had to hack a bit is because the phones which are carrier-locked typicially won't enable IS unless you pay for a more expensive plan, but on a carrier-unlocked phone that shouldn't be an issue...

Hi dazza9075

Ben here - thanks for your ste-by-step.

Still no luck at my end.

I just checked:-

=> O/S is 7.10.8112.7

=> my Firmware is 2103.12 03 .7

=> Hardware is 13.1.1.0

I'm wondering, do the above " versions " provide any insight into what may be my issue ?

Thanks again,

Ben
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
Yes, i think your in the unfortunate position of having the newer firmware which you either installed as part of a Samsung update or was preloaded on to device, at least im fairly sure that's the answer, sorry my friend
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ben ifin:
Hi dazza9075

Looks like you are right.

As a last ditch effort - I did as follows:-

- did a full PC backup

- fornatted my HDD

- put on Windows 8 X32 [ x32 has the ebst cahnces for drivers I figure ]

- activated

- re-booted

- plugged phone in - same issue - see attached .JPG

- installed Zune

- no change / same problem

Looks like my best bet will be for 7.8 to roll-out and hopefully / maybe (?) wait for Windowbreak to be updated accordingly - I'm figuring everyone will want to go to 7.8 and in order to keep their phones developer unlicked after 7.8 WIndowbreak will need to be updated [ at least I hope thats how it might work ].

Massive thanks again,

Ben

PS: As a one-in-a-billion, I dont supposed there is a known way to " un-lock " network specific Internet Sharing without your phone being developer unlocked ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
There is, but it uses the same hack that WindowBreak does, which is blocked by your firmware version. Beyond that, I guess you could try contacting the carrier or maybe Samsung, but I wouldn't expect much.
