Freeware XAP's from Marketplace

Some news for those who want WP7 on HD2 but are worried about not having access to download even freeware WP7 free apps because of the problem with device authetication.

This program: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894502 downloads freeware apps from the Marketplace and removes the DRM automatically. I don't believe it's pirating because it only downloads free ones, but there might be some legal implications to removing DRM.

I have an HD7. It's unlocked with ChevronWP7. I just deployed one of these XAP's to my HD7 with Tom's XAP Deployer tool and it worked perfectly. Just a heads up for those of you who were worried about not having access to the WP7 marketplace on the HD2 due to the lack of cloud services.

This was my question too. I wouldn't mind having no access to live services as long as I have access to these services. I also have another question: Is this rom being adapted from the one on the HD7? If so, does that mean the HD2 port will have the htc hub too?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tilgi:
I don't think that hotmail will be working the way you might want it (push mail, calender & contacts sync) as this is part of the ms live-services.

If I'm wrong then please correct me ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] 0711:
but you can use hotmail via exchange ActiveSync...so i dont think there is a problem with push mail, contacts and calendar.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mark.doe:
we use VPN with BSD.

the main office Server is an MS Advanced 2008 with Active Directory.

But all other Servers are Linux and NetBSD.

At home 1/3 has Ubuntu, 2/3 WinXP

Most really have FreeNAS or Openfiler and PS3 or XBox.

Taff question now :-(

Your proposal is not too bad, maybe I let everybody really decide for himself :-/

WP7 Live Services Security Cracked, Full HD2 Port Imminent?

File under: News

By: Evan Blass | 11:59 AM 6-Jan-11 | 8 Comments

Highly-regarded Windows Mobile developer and XDA senior moderator Da_G has reportedly been able to bypass the Genuine Advantage security protection on Windows Phone 7, enabling him to get live services like Xbox, Marketplace, and Zune working on an HTC HD2. The news was casually passed along by senior member AndrewSh, a user with over 1,000 posts. With the Dark Forces Team -- the group behind MAGLDR and HD2 NAND Android booting -- having successfully gotten WP7 running on HD2, the only real challenge up to this point has been enabling full functionality with regards to the services that "phone home" to Microsoft.

Notably, it was Da_G himself who lamented on the heavy cloud-based security back in November, stating that:

"Nearly all the major functions on the device operate by shuttling data to and from the “cloud”, presenting different methods to the user for getting their data on to the device. However as these services interact quite a bit with Microsoft’s own servers, they have considerably beefed up the security in this area. Each device contains a “Device Provisioning Partition” or DPP that contains a unique certificate assigned to the device at the factory. Each certificate is verified locally by the device in several places, and also uploaded and verified by the “Cloud” for each transaction. Loading Windows Phone 7 on to a device that did not originally come with the platform would result in having an invalid certificate, and these services will not function properly."

Well apparently Da_G has found a way to fool or otherwise bypass this Device Provisioning Partition, so that when a WP7 build is eventually released for HD2, it should be almost fully functional (although it will still require the use of a RAM loader, as opposed to a direct flash a la Windows Mobile). Since Da_G has been maintaining radio silence on XDA since Christmas, this development has yet to be verified, so we'll update when this becomes official.

Source: XDA

Thanks: HD2owner
[Windows Phone 7 General] CRACING:
Da_G doesn't give fake reports either. ;)

He is the one of greatest hacker and capable for doing anything. Eagerly waiting for WP7.

Wish conflipper was also present in this hacking and it was somewhat becoming easier. I'm missing him lot. :'(

Thanks...

Best Regards

From http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-7-cloud-security-cracked-but-theres-a-catch

A Windows Phone 7 security measure designed to perform real-time server authentication has indeed been bypassed, according to a person familiar with the situation, allowing cloud services like Xbox Live, Zune, and Marketplace to function on ported copies of the operating system, such as on an HTC HD2. However, since the method requires extracting what's known as a unique private key (PVK) from the device provisioning partition (DPP) of an actual WP7 handset, it is far from ready for widespread deployment.

Specifically, Microsoft has apparently employed a variation of Windows Genuine Advantage on the new platform, so we're told that its servers will only authorize three activations associated with a given PVK (four if you count the factory provisioning). Not only will further activation attempts fail to give those handsets cloud service access, but the initial devices using the now-blacklisted key actually lose their networked privileges as well -- including what was presumably the retail WP7 unit.

Several different methods are being attempted to bypass the limitation, including the search for a so-called "corporate key," which would essentially be a universal PVK for large-scale activations. Unfortunately, because all devices are security-flashed at the factory, such a key may not even exist. Secondly, overseas developers -- beyond the reach of Microsoft legal, apparently -- are said to be hacking the different bits of the device-side authentication piecemeal, but because of the unusually intricate security measures employed by Redmond, "it doesn't really look good" according to our source.

At this point the most we can say is that Windows Phone 7 will almost definitely be coming to HD2 and possibly a few other well-spec'ed devices, but the capabilities of any services that "phone home" will probably be limited -- if not because of the technical hurdles, then due to the fact that any use of cracked keys could be considered an attack on Microsoft's servers; in other words, this seems to move beyond the "don't ask, don't tell" status quo with regards to Windows Mobile ROM flashing into territory that the company might consider actionable. So unless you're handy with JTAG dumping methods and have a good friend willing to share their PVK, you're probably better off just going out and buying a Windows Phone than waiting around for what might be forever to get full functionality on your legacy handset.

Interesting update from Cotulla today on IRC logs about windows 7!

19:08 gauner1986 cotulla: what about wp7?

19:08 gauner1986 :)

19:08 gauner1986 from sd! :D

19:09 Cotulla WP7 is too cool to run it from SD

Nice :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamvanner:
Why dont Microsoft get it? Their ignorance is sending themselves into oblivion. Can you imagine google putting keys on their OS so you can only have so many copies, and banning you if you use more? Its 180 degrees in the wrong direction. Its like they dont want people to use their OS?!

Look what happened with Kinect! Their lawyers swooped on a group offering a reward for an open source SDK to kinect and MS threatened legal action to anyone using for non x360 purposes before the penny dropped that they would sell a sizable proportion of them to the dev community! Ive got one, and I wouldnt have bought one and they wouldnt have £130 of my money if the SDK they didnt even have to write existed. Total ****wits.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mfreema:
+1 Microsoft is working against its self here. I am running the ported version of android on my hd2 and i have bought a few apps through their marketplace. It doesnt make sense for a company to make it difficult for people to purchase items through their market
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
I am pretty sure MS really does not care about recieving 30% of a 1.99 or .99 for an app in exchange for people "stealing" the cost of their OS to the OEMs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pica_Man:
But, its only a matter of time before some kind of WP7 HD2 port comes. MS must realize that its inevitable, it will happen sooner or later. They may as well then get the money from the marketplace. The guys above are right, MS are totally shooting themselves in the foot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
or they can slap a C&D on it any time they want.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vista1984:
thanks,,

and no, never expected wp7 can be launched by sd card:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] kondejm:
Everything good news,but is one question.when will be release wp7 rom?someone know?
[Windows Phone 7 General] napisweet:
no sd launch? How is this rom expected to be launched? sd card or RAM? or worse nand :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] ka911:
let it be out first! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] xRedRiot:
I would prefer ram because that build would be faster than SD. I wouldn't want it to be nand because I just flashed gingerbread onto my HD2. I don't wanna have to choose which to use since I like them both.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Stephen:
Newer versions of Magldr will support multiboot :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tizocalamilla:
hopefully ram.. of course its much faster than the out dated sd

A way around Live activation?

I'm like a little boy waiting for christmas...
[Windows Phone 7 General] ustudio:
russian christmas to be exact
[Windows Phone 7 General] notlesss:
but that was yesterday :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigandrea:
Sorry ... but someone can not speak directly with Cotulla (whether it is available) to determine the date of issue of our wp7 hd2?

Thank you very much.
[Windows Phone 7 General] notlesss:
yes they can..

actually.. cotulla is now active on IRC logs.

But not everyone can join the chat..

so.. we have to wait :)

but i think it's comming... the first vid of cotulla running wp7 on his Leo is not fake.
[Windows Phone 7 General] prog2:
He still will not say.:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] prog2:
Something like this!:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] R2HD2:
Either WP7 is done, Was never fully complete to start with or Someone else cotulla knows is working on it ... Reason I say this is because "14:48 Cotulla we porting meego now" ... Which pretty much says he's not worried about it - Why ? Because he's done with it and is holding it for some unknown reason, someone else is working on it, or it's not complete and never will be.

Just some speculations. Either way ... All I / We can do is wait ... UGGGG.
[Windows Phone 7 General] radiance26:
I don't wanna be bad but I think cotulla will make us wait some month again: if cedesmith was not ready to launch his own bootloader I think today magldr will not be out.

Fortunately, french users can change in february for a new phone freely because of taxes rising.

My next phone will definitively be a WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
I love the logical reasoning I see in this thread. Never underestimate the conclusions people will come to based on the most insignificant pieces of information.
[Windows Phone 7 General] phrixus:
If everyone can stop speculating and being afraid of Cotulla, why don't someone ASK him straight out, bluntly, when he reckons the WP7 image will be released? It would stop the speculation spam in this thead, deflate the besserwissers and get an answer once and for all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ricola7:
LOL

"...besserwissers..." The german language is spreading ;) I guess cause we have a own word for every bull****

greetz from germany, or as we say: hau rein ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] zarathustrax:
Cotulla said from the very beginning not to ask about progress or release date, and anyone who has asked hasn't gotten an answer. It'll be released when its released. Nothing we can do about it except wait. At least magldr is out now, so that's progress... we just need the Rom to flash with magldr now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jzack:
from what ive learn, cotulla said that wp7 is working fine with hd2.. the only problem is the non-working live support.. maybe now he is working on it.. but still in my opinion, lets just get the wp7 to release first.. so that we can try to develop and get the live support together..
[Windows Phone 7 General] overshadowss:
actually u have to forget about it .. its ****ty .. just like 6.5 ;) for me i m happy with android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] xda2_haseeb:
Android is more ****ty then any wm version... its all eye candy nthng else... wm 6.5 is still better thn android if it gets a good dev base but wp7 its awesome then any other incl. The iPhone crap!
[Windows Phone 7 General] zarathustrax:
Just because you think its shirt doesn't mean everyone thinks it is. A lot of Android fanboys are getting like Apple fanboys now saying every other OS sucks. It's stupid. Just let everyone like what they want to like. I like Android, and I also like winmo... and I'll probably like wp7 and meego too. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. I really hope there is a way to run all 4 on my hd2 soon. I'd like to play around with all of them.

Android is great... I've been using it full-time recently because with nand I can't have winmo on my hd2, but I'll probably eventually put winmo back on nand because now having only Android on my hd2 takes away what used to make it unique... now its just an Android phone, and its not even the best one out there. I always considered my phone better than high-end Android phones because I could also run winmo, which I still enjoy using. But with Android on nand, there's nothing that makes my phone better than my friends evo or a desire hd... infact its worse because the battery doesn't hold up as well with use, and there are no things my phone can do that the evo or desire can't do. If I just wanted an Android phone, I would've gotten one.

And I have to say, too... it feels like the hd2 section has gotten a lot more immature and rude since Android was ported to it. The way some of these android fanboys act really turn me off to calling Android my favorite OS. I try to ignore them though, and still love Android. But I also still love winmo and like using it. I can do everything I want to do with either OS. And the same will probably be true with wp7, so I look forward to the port being released. I like tinkering with different OS's and having different options on my phone.

So there's my little rant... it just gets to me hearing people say winmo or wp7 suck just because they are in love with Android or are incapable of effectively using another OS. Sorry for the long post that really has nothing to do with the thread subject.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mally2:
+1

I'm, waiting for MAGLDR to support WM6.5 on NAND and direct boot ANDROID From SD if i want too... well since i Have LEO1024, I prefer to have both on nand, P

The best of all is NOT THE OS's but the capacity that HD2 has to run all of them , NO phones can beat that :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] ka911:
That for sure NO phones can beat HD2!
[Windows Phone 7 General] tizocalamilla:
i love winmo 6.5...android is the bomb but i cant wait till they let the beast out the cage and release wp7 on a sadder note im so impatiant that im leaning towards getting the hd7 and parting with my beloved hd2 im caught in between the two...no questions asked the hd2 is the best phone ever no matter wat you run on it... just the fact that u have the option is the best thing...anyone know if the hd7 can run android???
[Windows Phone 7 General] microgeniusz80:
i think it will take months... yea... me too.. i afraid i'll regret if i sell my hd2 and get bored with hd7... with wp7 port, i doesnt need to worry about all this... i guess, we just need to waitl....
[Windows Phone 7 General] kroukes2000:
I'm the one who regret the HD2, I get a 7 Trophy it's really cool WP7 but when we can get all these OS in one phone it's more exciting and more cool.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lukas95np:
when will we have a first relase of wm7? :D:D:D:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] pixine786:
I never knew my phone could do that ;) Phew

Good Heavens.. I made a right choice.

The EAGLE has landed.... Come Baby (WP7) Come....

(oh yeah and... WM6.5... who cares)
[Windows Phone 7 General] allanbsutarez:
Thank God we have these guys around (Da_G and Cotulla and countless and nameless other guys who have contributed).

Having WP7 on the HD2 will extend the life of this phone and maintain its value.
[Windows Phone 7 General] inku79:
Dont think so. There wasnt an official upgrade to wm 6.5.3 to my knowlege (havnt had official for a long time). So why wp7
[Windows Phone 7 General] yousufshah:
huh my evo is best.there is no wm7 rom for hd2.all are fake already posted b4
[Windows Phone 7 General] AS78:
...

My Jaw dropped.. Looked very quick also from the rendered swing-in animation/s, albeit very short granted. I'm really excited about the prospects/future of this phone - and all credit due to the talented technical artists who make it happen when large corporations cant/wont.

HD2 WM7 - just point me where to donate
[Windows Phone 7 General] APOCALYPSENOW:
This is awsome... now im even happier i traded my wife my vibrant for her hd2!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] lemonspeakers:
Screw you for those that are ruining our fun and not trusting in cotulla. This much real compared to that fake god named TOM Codon. ha-ha.

now if only we can get iOS4 on our hD2. SIKE!!

suck it iPhone.

that's actually possible according to Cotulla, darwin (all iProducts are darwin based) is opensource only UI has to be hacked ontop. so anyone with too much time you may start lol

but i guess you'll have feds on your door next day taking your HD2 straight to stevie and then melted @100000°C

Cotulla & DFT .. Thanks

Cotulla & DFT for working on the WP7 for HD2.

A small token of appreciation sent : 05Y28117FE257305N

I encourage everyone to send some donations as they have delivered a lot for the HD2 already and have amazing things to come ....
[Windows Phone 7 General] futureshock:
very Interessting!

maybe the Video postet a few months earlier wasn't a fake ?

i can remember to read somewhere that theproblem was that you didn't cant flash back to winmo 6.5 ... so because that the Project gets stoped!

but with magldr its possible to flash back!
[Windows Phone 7 General] fusion06:
Cotulla has definitely turned water into wine. i doubt the video is fake. why build your credentials up so high, just to put out a fake and then have everyone hate you? makes no sense. HD2 is the new Borg ! It can assimilate just about any phone out. :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] orangekid:
that video posted months earlier was someone else and it was a fake, this one from Cotulla is not.

for real.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Veldmuus:
HTC did not like the amazing devs got Desire HD roms and android on our lovely HD2, ( cuz no reason to buy DesireHD anymore).:rolleyes:

But i think if they see this they are with hands in their Hair :p

Cuz now he even touch the HD7 / 3.

We all love Cotulla and ofcourse the other Devs. (srry HTC ur phone is just to great )

Thankyou we all cant wait till the devs have finished this progress. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] balendra68:
If the video is indeed by Cotulla, then for the first time i am convinced that WP7 will soon be running on the HD2. Remember, who gave us WM6.5 on the HTC magician, when everybody else was saying it was not possible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Don't forget that they're still far from release. FAR.

And you could doubt wether the final version would be 100% perfect, or have some minor issues here and there.

Either way, just wait and see what the future brings for the HD2.

I don't own one, but it'd be nice for those that do.

Very interested in how this develops :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] yousufshah:
every one here waiting from 4 months.for WM7 release.even u still dont have Beta version
[Windows Phone 7 General] asadali:
we dont like to test betas!! our developer Coutella test it himself n giv us the final version..! it takes time to port!

wat u say to samsung developers!!? they cant even port froyo flawlessly!! we have gingerbread flawless... wp7 is also ready!
[Windows Phone 7 General] notlesss:
i think he is waiting for Da_g's hack

cause if Cotulla would release it now.. it's crap.. :P

And i think he's right. Íf you can make WP7 for the HD2. Do it good!

i think its the waiting worth!

:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] lukas95np:
How can i contact Cotulla?
[Windows Phone 7 General] notlesss:
Cotulla

convince him to release WP7!! :eek:

*good luck :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] mfreema:
Please do not contact cotulla or any of the developers about wp7 development for the hd2. It will come, cotulla and dft have not let us down. The only thing they ask is to not ask for a release date for the functionality they are developing for us free of charge.
[Windows Phone 7 General] geom83rb:
maybe some developer is usual to release betas, maybe some other prefer to test privately before releasing.... like fpsece that make us waiting a lot but at the end schtruck came our with a great product..
[Windows Phone 7 General] trent6gol:
if we could all just wait for the release of wp7, the less of a chance of bricking our phone, if he made a beta release and forgot to throw some sort of code in and you phone screwed up then you would be pissed, although there is always a good chance of bricking it would be less if the guy could concentrate on it and not feel attacked by us "freeloaders":D just my opinion ..
[Windows Phone 7 General] wixxer:
Cotulla's the best!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] cheap66:
we'll still wait for a good release, let the devs work in peace!
[Windows Phone 7 General] dbshane:
I believe when Cotulla releases WP7, it would be a perfect product with xbox live working.

Thanks Cotulla and DFT!
