Hi,

How do you have access to the file-system? Do you have direct NAND access?

Editing registry files with a hex editor is generally not a good idea. You better edit them with an offline Registry Editor like CeRegEditor: http://www.mydigitallife.info/cereg...-for-windows-mobile-and-ce-pocket-pc-devices/

You need to edit the portal url's too, or else the other unlock settings are being reset whenever Zune syncs. But witb CeRegEditor, that should work.

Editing the manifest after install of an app doesn't work, because the manifest is only parsed when the app is installed. After that those settings are stored in local databases.

WP7 Root Tools cannot be patched to make it work on other devices, or else I would have done that already. It needs advanced device soecific exploits.

Once you have interop unlock, your device will probably still be incompatible for Policy Unlock. Because there is no generic way for Policy Unlock and WP7 Root Tools uses device-specific vulnerabilities. If you can send me Policydb.vol and Accountdb.vol from your device, I might be able to do a manual Policy Unlock for you. You need to be able to copy back the modified files. So this will only work if you indeed have full NAND access.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74

Full registry support

See this post. I am finishing now native library for FULL registry support (include multistring, binary values, export to file, import from file, removing by file etc.).

Binary values management is easy in registry, it is native registry items format. All others are only converted binaries.

Managed==>Native binary values handling:

Managed string ==> COM ==> Native BSTR ==> Remove L"/\n" ==> Trim( ) ==> Split by L"," ==> Cyclic atoi( ) to BYTE[ ] array ==> RegSetValueEx.

I can send you temporary source codes include testing applications (managed for WP7/8 devices, native for WM6 emulator and easy debugging). M.

WP7 Root Tools 1.0 Released!

Hello hackers! Let me start with wishing everybody a peaceful and healthy New Year! It's a bit late, but I didn't have a chance to do it earlier. I started the new year with my new job. Very impressive and a lot of things to learn. It's a totally new challenge and I'm excited to work for my new employer. It's not anything related to mobile development, in case you wonder.

For this new year I created a new version of WP7 Root Tools too. I've done a lot of testing and I got a lot of help from other people. It seems WP7 Root Tools is very stable now and I fixed the last known problems. I also fixed the problem with Samsung devices that showed error RA-ARA-01 in the installer. I thought I fixed it in the previous version, but still a lot of users complained they had this problem. I didn't have the problem on my own Samsung. So I got some help from Dennis Wilson. He did have a Samsung device that which had issues with the WP7 Root Tools root-access-installer. We used USB over Network from FabulaTech. An excellent piece of software. We set up a transatlantic remote-debugging-session. And I debugged WP7 Root Tools from my home in The Netherlands on his Samsung device in Phoenix - Arizona, about 8000 km away. How cool is that!?

I also did some User Interface improvements, as you can see in the screenshot.

I'm still working on other developments. But since this version is really stable now, and I fixed the Samsung installer-issue, I wanted to release this. But I plan to release more new features soon.

Download WP7 Root Tools 1.0 here: www.wp7roottools.com/

Happy hacking in 2013!

On previously wersion I could't save few certificates. Last release v1.0 is always closing itself while copy zune-tuner....cert. Any clue?

Hm. You're right. It's choking on the special characters in the certificate name. I will fix it in the next version.

Please mod. this too:

Is not possible write in new value in dword example: 3c

Nokser
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] voluptuary:
It would be super cool if we could edit binary/hex values in the registry editor.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
It's already possible to write that value. Except the edit-field only accepts decimal-values. So convert 3c to decimal -> 60. Write that in the field and that's it.

I will consider that feature for the next version.

I'm glad you haven't given up on WP7 :) seeing as even MS has. I have a question though does this version, now that it is 1.0, have a expiration date like previous versions?

Hello Heathcliff74. (Sorry for my english)

Sorry for this kind of stupid question. I got a HTC HD7 yesterday and I'm trying to figured out how to install .XAP files. I read through the forum about two options in order to unlock this phone, HSPL and custom ROMs (that as you said, it's a little dangerous if you don't have any idea what are you doing) and Root Unlock. It is supposed that my phone does not have any problem with Interop Unlock because the version of the bootloader is 3.3.2250.0 (120323) and WP7 is 7.0.7390.0. So I'm trying to unlock the phone using your tools. But I can't get installed your WP7 Root Tools.XAP file on my phone. This is what I'm trying to do:

1.- I have installed the latest version of Zune (My phone is recognized by Zune when I plug it to my Windows 7 Starter laptop)

2.- I'm trying to install your XAP file using XAP DeployeX V0.9 But I get an error messagge

3.- I tried to Install WP7 Root Tools file.XAP sending the file to my email and then downloading it to my phone, but I got a message that there is any programm asociated to that kind of file.

The question is, how can I install the WP7 Root Tools.XAP file? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to do something before install the WP7 Root Tools?

Thank you!!

Hi, I've got a HTC Mozart and when I try opening WP7 Root Tools it closes and lands me back on the app list (Only get to see the splash screen). My device has an app hub unlock and your interop unlock. I have 7.10.8773.98, firmware: 2250.09.12435.061 and bootloader 5.12.2250.1(134400).

Can you help?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] iDober:
Hello.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, I send the XAP file to my own email and tried to Download and Install but I got a messagge that there's any program associated with that kind of file.

The problem with XAP DeployerX (and in a general way with all other software that is trying to communicate with the phone) is that it can't establish a communication with the device beacause of a "Developer lock". I'm trying to figured out how to fix it. Zune Software is the only program that actually can communicate with my phone.

Phase 2 installation error RA-SRA-02 1260

Hi Heathcliff74,

I'm trying to install WP7 Root Tools 1.1 onto my Samsung Omina 7, but when I get to the 'Phase 2' installation I get the following error "WP7 Root Tools Fatal Error: RA-SRA-02 1260".

Can you assist in telling me what the error relates to & what I can do to fix the issue please?

Kind regards,

fitzy-boy
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
You probably installed Root Tools, ran phase 1 and then you didn't continue with phase 2, which is important. You now reinstalled Root Tools and ran phase 1 again. If you run phase 1 two times, you get this error. The only way to resolve it is a hard-reset. But be careful! You can loose apps and data. But you can also loose your unlock! Be sure you can unlock again after you hard-reset! Maybe better make a backup in advance!

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
It should not close that way. But unfortunately your device is not supported. The first steps of policy unlock require your device to be at version 4 or lower. Your firmware is version 5. You might be able to downgrade using Goldcard method and the flash a custom ROM.

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
What's up with the 4-star vote for this tool, guys? I can use some better votes for version 1.1! Please vote! Have a look at version 1.1 (some details in the opening post).

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] whiperhack:
It's because there aren't many users with unlocked bootloaders to use your tool. But from what I read in changelog is great. You deserve all the stars in the world for not letting us down. Cheers.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] knightluffy:
When I open the registry workshop and root tools at the same time, and need to delete a key on registry workshop, it showes 'cannot access'. But in root tools, it crashes. It is nice to make a fix. Thx.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Read the instructions in the opening post closely. In a nutshell:

- Install WP7 Root Tools

- Install Ultrashot's WMDC Launcher

- Run WP7 Root Tools and give Root Access to the WMDC Launcher

- Run WMDC Launcher and tap on Enable

- Install Zune on PC

- Install WMDC on PC

- Connect phone to PC with USB

- Run Zune and sync phone

- Use Windows Explorer or Registry Workshop to access the phone

Also, please tell me which registry key you try to delete. Of course Root Tools shouldn't crash. If you tell me which key, I can try to reproduce the problem and fix it.

Good luck!

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chief:
How do you access the phone then? I have WMDC enabled on my L800 and I run Zune and WMDC on PC but when I plug cable phone-pc, Zune is launching.

To make WMDC works (access the phone) I need wp7connector but it's not working on win7 x64 :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] titi66200:
wp7connector not needed

Use Zune and Windows Mobile Device Center on your PC.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Are you one of the few with an unlocked bootloader on your lumia 800? Or did you do the hardware hack to write an unlocked bootloader? And did you flash a custom rom after that?

If not, I find it hard to believe that you are even able to run WMDC Launcher or WP7 Root Tools on your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] alan93:
I also got this "WP7 Root Tools Fatal Error: RA-SRA-02 1260"

I have to reset my phone to factory??

I was trying to use this to get an app off my phone before I sold it. I can't reset it.

WP7 Root Tools 1.2 released!

Hi again! Spamming you all with another release ;) This is WP7 Root Tools 1.2. This is a list of the changes in this version:

Added color values to Accent Color editor.

3G toggle tweak improved.

Added Internet Connection Sharing unlock. If your operator has blocked Internet Sharing, WP7 Root Tools can attempt to configure Internet Sharing and bypass the barrier that is installed on the phone. This probably won't work on LG devices, because their drivers don't support Internet Sharing. This unlock is only meant to unlock the operator barrier.

Added Automatic Data Configuration function. This will attempt to automatically setup the configuration for your mobile operator in case your mobile internet settings are somehow screwed up.

Added shell-handler in Explorer for provxml-files.

Removed wrong buttons on Device tab.

Disabled cache for filesystem and searches. Caching mechanism was implemented back when old exploits were used, which were much slower. Disabling caching shows better browsing and search-results.

Added two languages: Serbian and Albanian. These versions can be downloaded in separate packages, because they are not officially supported by Windows Phone 7. Thanks to all people who helped with the translations!

Removed ads for better Root Tools experience ;)

WP7 Root Tools can be downloaded from the Download section on www.wp7roottools.com.

Have fun!

i've got it,i unlocked my phone using interop unlock,i'm using samsung focus s,it's that rooted already?after unl0cked?i have some applications installed came from third party apps but not working it gives me an error like opera mini,ascent changer,how to fix that?i think that apps is not compatible to samsung focus s?i have no idea what's going on:(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
The focus s works fine

It isn't automatically interop unlocked unless you install an interopunlock already, apps must be even permission with root tools to run, this is much more sensible then giving blanket access to anything that wants higher level privileges. So load up root tools, go to policies, find your app and enable it. Note that opera needs to run native code so make sure you have the correct version installed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] acryn:
thanks sir for the quick respond anyway i've done giving an access to ascent changer using wp7 root tools nothings happen same issue error again,:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
Try removing root tools then reinstall it, do the phase 1 and 2 parts and try it again are you interop unlocked or just dev unlock? Does root tools load correctly?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Which Accent changer do you try to use? Afaik all accent changers, except the one in Root Tools, have device-specific code. So those apps only run on specefic devices. That said, why do you even try an accent changer app, while Root Tools has an Accentcolor editor built-in?

Oh, and when you get an error, specify all details. I cannot guess errors and solutions.

SongArc

Hi Heathcliff,

There is a popular game out for WP7 it's called SongArc but it's not running on custom roms, well if WP7 Roottools is installed, I've made two similar roms one with WP7 Roottools and one without, the one without WP7 Roottools is running the game, the one with WP7 Roottools isn't doing anything.

I hope you can take a look at it, because I can't miss WP7 Roottools. :)

Thanks for you great work,

EDIT : SORRY HEATCHCLIFF, BUT AFTER A HR PROBLEM IS BACK, PROBABLY A LUCKY SHOT, SO NO WP7 ROOTTOOLS ERROR.

is there wp7rootools for HTC HD7S?

Hi.

After deploying the wp7roottools version 1.2 into my wp 7.8 HTC HD7s, I am now getting this message when I try to run the app:

Incompatible

"Your device is not recognized as compatible device. I'm always trying to add support for more devices. Let me know your brand and model and I will try to add support for it in future versions. If your device already has Full unlock, exit and apply root access using the Full Unlock Root Access Manager."

I developer unlocked the phone using Microsoft phone tools.

My phone information:

Model: HTC T9295

Carrier: AT&T

Software: Windows Phone 7.8

OS Version: 7.10.8862.144

Firmware Revision number: 2250.21.40505.502

Hardware Revision number: 0002

Radio software version: 5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21H

Radio hardware version. A.24.0.D4

Bootloader version. 4.5.2250.0(129185)

Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

I actually needed this app so I can activate tethering on it.

Your quick response will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

According to the OP

HTC HD7s isn't a first gen HTC WP7 device. It has been brought to my attention that the HD7S IS still a first gen phone. It just doesn't have support with this tool.

Hints:

1. Zune - running

2. Windows Phone Developer Tools - installed

4. Net Framework installed

Try to use Windows Phone Developer Tools -> Application Deployment.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oddfuturejoey:
Yeah,I've been totally wondering the same thing :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Since it exists only as an OTA right now you have to flash the corresponding factory image that the OTA is designed to update, and then flash the update. That's your only option right now, but that could change very quickly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] StuMcBill:
I thought as much!

I will just leave it for the time being and hopefully I can get my hands on a Nexus 4 soon!

Who knows, you may have a complete stand alone zip available shortly.

I've been furiously fapping the ctrl+f5 key for the Play Store for hours. My insomnia has failed to pay off so far (05:45 here and I've been awake for 4.5 hours...)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
If I am in an application and my screen turns off, I hit the home button to wake the screen and then it takes me to the desktop instead of the last app I was in? Any guidance would be much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrischoi:
Would help you you state which app or all apps. The Home Button function is to go to the Home Screen.

To make the Home Button take you to the last app you were in, press and hold. It will give you a recent apps page.

That also has the task manager and Google options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Chuck_IV:
I don't think that's what he's refering to. If my screen is off(aka in sleep mode), when I press the home button to wake the screen back up, that's all the home button does with that press. It only wakes the screen up and leaves me where the phone was, when it went to sleep. If I press the home button, when the phone is awake, then yes, it does take me to the home screen.

To the OP,

I tried it with Touch Wiz and Nova Launcher, even using the app "nolocK' to lock/prevent locking of the screen. In all instances, when the screen was off and I hit the home button, it woke the screen up, but left me at in the same place where it went to sleep at.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
Thanks so much chuck. Thats exactly what I am referring to. I have nova installed but I am having this problem. I wonder if it is some setting I have enabled.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
I just installed no lock and messed with a lot of settings in nova. Same problem where if I wake the screen with the home button it takes me to the desktop and not my most recent app. Argg
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] na7q:
i have this problem only when i have the on-screen nav bar. if i disable that it works fine. it's somewhat odd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
use the power button instead. works fine. home button does exactly what it is named for. takes you to your home screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stu5797:
Cant wait to try your rom t3! The home button never worked like this in the past. I am used to having home wake my screen and just want it the way it was.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] loveshinesthru:
Yeah, If the phone has just shut off and you press the home key it takes me back home, not to the app I was in. In this case I have to press the power button. I dont remember it doing this on the gs3. I remember hitting the home key if my phone shut off to turn it back on and it resumed where i left off.
