[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Briefcase:
Hi Jaxbot,

Since all the provxml attempts are failing it might be good idea to consider another approach. We now have access to actual firmware images for the Lumia via Nokia Data Package Manager. Once installed search for RM-801 product code. There you will find firmwares for all available product codes. The product codes that include 'Country Variant' are unbranded firmwares.

Most likely all these firmware's are signed and therefore we cannot edit them, but you are more an expert on that area than I am. It's worth a shot. Flashing firmware can de done via the latest version of Nokia Care Suite, which has support for the RM-801.

---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

Took a look in this myself, here are my findings:

All the *.esco files are plain old zip files. The contents of the these zip files is always the same; <filename>.<extension> and <filename>.<extension>.cert. It may be hopeful that the certificate actually ships with the file itself? But on the other hand it may be required to have the private key in order to generate new certificates if we edit files. (?)

The *_signature.bin can be viewed by your favourite text editor (xml file), and consist of signatures for the *.dcp and *.vpl files.

The *.dcp and *.vpl files are zip files too, inside are some XML files that specify info about the firmware packages. It also consist of checksums (crc) for all *.esco files in the packages, so editing the *.esco files would require editting those XML files too (which requires changing the signature in *_signaturs.bin I guess?).

I cannot make any sense about the *.qcn and *.pcx files.

Alt method

I'd like to try this method cuz the WindowBreak method didnt work for me (i select the windowbreak option in diag and save it says successful but i still cant deploy any xaps), can I get the .zip file on the site?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mentycz:
Tried thousand times on my Omnia 7 with 7740, but still cant unlock it.

I have no Windows Development tools, or SDK, is it nescessary to have it?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Playing around with it a little. From what I can tell, these data packages are encrypted, and signed pretty dang well. Not sure how much of a chance we have with modification.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
If you don't have the dev tools / SDK, how do you know whether you're unlocked or not?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mentycz:
By trying to install xap file via Tom´s xap installer.

Ok, I will download the SDK and Dev tools.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] unbenannt:
does this actually work on omnia 7 with 7740 onboard?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] omkarbest:
SO probably i am one of those exception..

what differentiates between successful jailbreak and exceptions? I am very curious to know.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Some people with diag version 1104 or 1108 seem to have some issues with it. It seems to work on all OS versions Mango and up, though, so I suppose there might be some firmware changes.

What's your device info? Version/carrier/diag version/etc
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wizar:
I have a version of Diagnosis - 1104 phone can not unlock until the end. I can install TouchXplorer xaps but can not see the directories. Is there any advice on the 1104 version?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
TouchXplorer only works on HTC devices. If you can deploy it, the unlock is working just fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wizar:
Thanks Jaxbot for the information of TouchXplorer. Can you hint what program I can edit the contents of directories on Samsung devices?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
WP7 Root Tools

Hands down the best program for the job, as well as other things (e.g. registry editing).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wizar:
Yeah, I imagine... I forgot to mention that I have the Omni W...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
There's no way to browse files, then. Well, actually, there is, but no way to modify anything.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] unbenannt:
does this method work on omnia 7 with 7740 onboard? has anyone tested this configuration?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Why don't you try it and see?

(It hs been reported to work on both Omnia 7 and 7740. PLEASE read or search the thread before posting...)

Hopefully this data is useful for the further development of the project :) :)

Keep up the good work.. Cheers...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nitin88g:
you are using omnia W and it can't be jail braked at this moment.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Stop making stuff up, that isn't true. The Omnia W does indeed work with this. The reason it isn't working for this person is because, for some unknown reason, it doesn't always work for all devices, probably due to some sort of firmware upgrade. That's why I asked for the firmware, make sense?

I feel like the problem is your diag. version, which a lot of people seem to struggle with, but I've installed that version manually and had no problems, so I'm not sure. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lukas_ita:
It worked for me after 8107 update

Diagnosis version: 1104
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nitin88g:
you meant, you were unable to break when you are running on 7740?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lukas_ita:
Nono...before 8107 update i unlocked the phone with heatcliff method...after the update i re-unlocked it with this method!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
You don't need to re-unlock it, though. 8107 doesn't relock the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Vintage144:
Thanks Jax , I just got a new sandisk , So I figured wth , I soft reset, then diagnostically reset ,then formatted power>cam>vol dwn reset , always came back to the 8107 update , although I lost some things like the cellular drop down window and a few other things, but went to use your method , piece of cake ,easiest yet , also go internet sharing back and I am slowly resetting everything I had before , if anything else shows up (or doesnt) I wont hesitate to let you know (or heathcliff)!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Alexboooom:
the sad thing is that HTC plus other mobiles with 7740.16 update and nth else, cannot be jailbroken since 2 months now...even chevron choice won't go on...rom flashing needs an old bootloader...etc...i don't think there has been such an issue before...i hope that there will be some light at the end of the tunnel soon..:(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eazy2001x:
you should list the devices that were successful and WOP on the first page.. second post..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] htc9420:
Basically, this method replaces Chevron unlock and then update, right? Don't kill me for asking....:D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
for samsun devices, yes, it manages to apply develop unlock (chevron-like) and interop.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] abyjohnponvelil:
Will this work with Samsung Focus 1.3 Rogers as it does have a different diagnosis app version?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
I had that suspicion. Thanks for the info, it's probably best that homebrewers stay away from these OEM updates anyhow, looking at what HTC did.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:
They always have something to block.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Vintage144:
When using windowbreak , if you plan on using any other file deployer to *#9908# you'll have to revert back to saving windowbreak otherwise you lose the sideload limit ,I know theres a hack somewhere for the sideload but I cant remember where!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
I think they just hate homebrew.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xcen_xda:
Is there any way of reverting the update if I took the bait and updated to 8107 through Zune on my Omnia7?

How do I check if my firmware is KK2 btw?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@xcen_xda: Restore the backup that Zune made prior to installing the update...

If you for some reason deleted that, you'll have to flash a clean ROM, which will wipe your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xcen_xda:
Well I don't have a backup because I updated my phone through a 'Guest' sync relationship with Zune.

I'm pretty screwed unless I do a clean wipe I guess.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
You can reflash the OEM 7004 ROM but that's about it for now :|
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Esmax666:
hello ,,is that possible to WindowBreak a Dell venue pro

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@Jaxbot: Even a really old restore point would be better than that... yeah, not a good place to be. Backups are good!

@Esmax666: No. As it says on the first post, only Samsung phones can currently use this tool.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xcen_xda:
I believe all my apps and data would be wiped out regardless? :|
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Esmax666:
Thanks, but do you know if there is another software for a Dell venue Pro ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Well, not interop-unlock, no. There are various ways to get dev-unlock, costing various amounts of money and offering varying capabilities, but none allow more than 10 unsigned (sideloaded) apps, or allow high-privilege apps.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] contable:
WindowBreak works without chevron. You can developer and interop-unlock your device with it out of the box.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
I'll let that one slide, since you're polite and read the post ;)

I would like to support the DVP, but I have no clue how it operates, what it can do, etc. If someone could point me toward the actual diagnostics XAP, I'll take it apart and try to figure out if it has any holes.

Out of the box to interop. There's no need (or reason) to use Chevron prior to it.

That's a paradox, though. We need registry access to unlock it, and can only access the registry after it's unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] shinkstor:
Yeah I meant if it was from dev unlock or chevron labs to interop, you could remove the known file problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
Oh man, MS really did a ****ty job creating a corrupted zip reader.

It executes every little **** from all over the OS.

This makes me laugh so bad.

It even shows the zip "tree", but even from there when clicking it just "oh, a xml file, ill just copy that one to '\provxml'".

Retard´ness level that this even works = 9001/9000

Great job Jaxbot :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fiinix:
"If someone could point me toward the actual diagnostics XAP, I'll take it apart and try to figure out if it has any holes."

- Latest diagnosis from version 7740 in attachment ("Sammy" Omnia 7) :P

"Sammy", Jaxbot gets the joke :)

- samsung zip file name
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
;) That I do. I actually meant the DVP diagnostics app, though =P

By the way, can someone confirm if WindowBreak is working on 7740 Samsung devices? Getting some odd reports, want to double check on them.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
I just reflashed the stock ROM and ran through the update process all the way up to 7720. For some reason, I cannot get it to load the webpage.

I just wanted to try it out on a fresh phone... ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] shinkstor:
So this is still about just finding out how to execute a provxml (or other provisioning/reg) file on each device, basically?

Also I just reflashed stock rom, updated the phone completely, then did the jailbreak and it worked.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
Update: If I click the link on the first page, I get an about page... But, I just tap held the link to open it in a new tab, and it worked fine... Awesome work...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Briefcase:
Yup, device specific exploits are still required. Jaxbox found a way to get files on the phone and move them around on the phone without the need of the official Chevron Labs unlock. Some restrictions do apply that also hold for Chevron Labs regarding file management, e.g. writing to \Windows is restricted. In fact this exploit is a little more restrictive than Chevron Labs unlock because it only allows know mime types to be copied to the phone, whereas with Chevron Labs you could deploy any file [as long as you don''t try to overwrite files with file handles open or ROM files].

Fortunately with this hack found by jaxbox it is possible to place provxml files on the phone. These files allow editing of the registry and therefor jaxbox was able to interop unlock his 1st gen Samsung with his exploit.

Unfortunately however, new drivers for our phones (which are standard for new Nokia's, HTC's (and even Samsungs i think)) are more locked down and thus do not allow registry editing via provxml anymore. At last they try to make is as hard as possible by only allowing (or restricting) a few provxml operations of which registry editing isn't included. It is therefor required that we also find exploits in these drivers to be able to write to the registry.

Those 2nd exploits needed are hard to find and most probably device specific because drivers are device specific as well. Fortunately we have the best of the best with Heathcliff74 and jaxbox and a few others which it''s a shame i forgot the name of ;-).

Hope this helps you to understand the problems we are dealing with.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] huismeester:
Thats look cool man
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
If I got a dollar for every time I got called "jaxbox" ;)

Good summary of the exploit, though! Nokia and HTC are the hard ones. Even new Samsungs are able to use this afaik, so that scratches one demographic off the list.

Still working on HTC and Nokia.. have a few ideas, but still need to brainstorm a little.

The MIME thing is really killing me on HTC... :\ any bright ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
This is the latest.

I already analyzed it once. I couldn't find an exploit back then. You can have a shot at it ;)

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andylyf:
Hi guy,

I had initially chevron unlock, then I decided to try this. Windowbreak also, but after I windowbreK, I lost my data connection, how to fix that? :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Restart your phone. If that doesn't work, windowbreak again and try again, or deploy Samsung 3G repair from Heathcliff: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=776605&d=1320794157
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
If you have a 2nd gen samsung the Repair3G.xap will not work. In that case download the Wireless Manager from the Samsung Zone in the marketplace. Select a different operator and then select your own operator. You'll have your 3G back.

Good luck,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] shinkstor:
Well then even if provxmls cannot do registry edits, then you could still probably do file operations in which you can put files into \windows directory, iff they still allow file operations with them.

What this could do is change a .reg file in that directory that is used every time it boots. I've been trying to do that with my current phone but haven't found any file that is used each boot.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
That was one of my ideas. Need a Nokia to mess with ;)

I was able to copy into \windows with my Focus, but I'm not sure how that helps me. Any file I can overwrite that will provision automatically, e.g. on boot? All the mxip files seem to be cold-boot only.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Can you please double-check that? So far I know you can't deploy file to the Windows folder this way.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Not directly. I had to copy into provxml and then use provisioning to move it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Theelichtje:
So, any progress on the interop-unlock for htc phones? because i would love my HD7 to be unlocked ;) keep up the good work!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dragonide:
Yea !! keep up the good work !

Cheer you up guys, never lose faith !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Wel, it's already possible to interop-unlock the HD7. You may have to downgrade the firmware, though.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
I second that. First generation HTC devices have solutions; they aren't pretty, but if your goal is to unlock freedom, there are options available currently.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
I think it's just a MS management blindness. According to rumors, MS will change current marketplace solution for more secure, using https protocol. Steps to prevent interop-unlock for me is looks like they want to close the last possible "hole" - copy assembly files from handset to desktop and rezip to xap. I believe they treat that security hole as a primary stopper for the major software titles but they are mistaken... Google don't care that much for Android security (and don't have these stupid limitations) but all major companies currently have an Android ports/products. The real stopper is platform popularity and number of customers.

So, seems like Microsoft doesn't learn from their own mistakes; and I'm really worry about WP7 feature because I like this OS, development tools and handsets (but I also regret my time spent for)...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Esmax666:
Okay, but how much is it to have 10 unisgner apps ?

Or just 3

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
$100 for AppHub membership, free for 3 apps if you're a registered student with a college (or feel wise in social hacking)

Also, Chevron Labs is $9, but they're sold out right now. I'd suspect that they'll open the doors again soon, but there's no timeline or confirmation on that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
I don't think so. It seems that Microsoft just awarded the Chevron Labs team. One-time award...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Rafael's statement seemed to say that 10,000 was the initial agreement, but didn't really elaborate on whether Microsoft would be open to them extending the agreement, or if they (Chevron team) was interested. Either way, we'll just have to wait and see, though I would love to see them make a comeback for the sake of homebrew.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Strike_Eagle:
I am waiting for this for my Eternity / Titan :)

i have a omnia 7 and i updated to 8107 over zune which had installed also the new samsung drivers. before this update i had it unlocked but i had to reset my phone over the air, so the jailbreak was gone.

And now (with the new drivers installed) the windowbreak does not work. any news about this issue and if it will be made compatible with this new omnia7 firmware, too? or is there any alternative way of unlocking at this point? or do i have to rollback? thanks..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Rollback to your restore point. It's the best option for now. Then you can update again using Heathcliff's instructions (flip back a page or so)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] irfanindian:
Thanks for the info, I had the suspicion. Great you've already provided a solution here. It's because of people like Heathcliff74 and Jaxbot that XDA rocks!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] emjlr3:
i saw OP had a Focus, which allowed him root access following the jail break.

does this particular unlock allow root access using 2nd gen Samsung phones, like the Focus S, for homebrews with access to higher privelage system files?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
<-- OP

The hack technically would, except Samsung changed the drivers in the 2nd generation phones and so far, nobody seems to be able to get around this. So for your purposes, no, but it will allow you to sideload homebrew apps.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nwskipro:
not working for me...

Hey I just went through all the steps as outlined in the instructions and video and while it doesn't show the 3g icon at the top anymore, it won't allow me to upload WP7RootTools 0.8 alpha.xap either. I'm getting error code 0x81030120 which I've read means that my phone is still INTEROP-LOCKED. I have an original Samsung Focus with Mango. It is Chevron unlocked prior to running the steps you outlined for WindowBreak.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Malcolm
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Did the windowbreak.xml file show up in provisioning? Try it again. I don't know of a case where it fails to interop unlock but succeeds in all other areas.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nwskipro:
When I go to the website it shows up just as it did in the video. Folder provxml, file windowbreak.xml. Then I went to the dialer, entered in the numbers provided, got to the GPRS screen and selected windowbreak. I scrolled over to check that it completed, which it says it did. I restart and then plug into the computer and try to load the root tools .xap via the Application Deployment tool and I keep running into the same error.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Really odd... what OS version?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nwskipro:
7.10.7720.68

Chevron Unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
If it's already Chevron unlocked, you might just want to try Heathcliff's XAP. Should do the same thing for you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nwskipro:
I got the same error message (0x81030120) before trying the WindowBreak Interop-Unlock.

I tried installing the following .xap files through both the Application Deployment tool and the newer wf Phone Tools program.

WP7RootTools 0.8 alpha.xap

RegistryEditor 1.2.0.0.xap

I've been able to install a bunch of other homebrew apps that don't require Interop-Unlock.

I'm just as confused as you! Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks for the help so far!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] nwskipro:
And now I can't get it to connect to data services. Only calls and SMS work.

Data is only working under either of 2 conditions. First condition is the phone has WiFi off and is connected to the computer via USB. Second condition is WiFi is turned on, connected or disconnected.

I found another post on here for diagnostic codes and I manually reset the SIM card so now I have full network functionality, just still no Interop-Unlock.
