for some reason i can deploy the .xaps provided by xboxmod, but when i try to deploy this .xap, i get the error to check if my phone is unlocked. after this msg when i try to install a .xap file like htc hub or photo enhancer, the installation works again
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
The XAP in this thread was created by xboxmod. Not sure why this would be different.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fallen420:
works like a charm. way better than changing registry manually. thanks alot
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Penzi:
i have no idea unfortunately... i'll just try it again later on to see, if i made a mistkae. i don't understand it myself :(

I don't see any check button to let anything provision when I launch Connection Setup. I have followed the previous 6 steps to the letter. Am I missing out on anything?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] zoiter123:
I did this, and it revoked all my sideloaded apps and i cant unlock again, help?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prjkthack:
You mean the check button on the very bottom to apply the changes? It should definitely be there. Otherwise, you should try uninstalling Connection Setup and reinstalling it.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] HQRaja:
Oh the OK button...the way it was mentioned in the OP put me under the impression that it's a button saying 'Check (for something)' heh. Thanks a bunch!

Modified the original post to be more clear.

If you unlock with ChevronWP7, apply this hack, and then for some reason your phone relocks, refer to DanielNTX's post to get it unlocked again. You need to install a new certificate, provided on his post. I put this info into the original post as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] superaca:
1. make sure SKYPE is off

2. flush dns

3. clear chevron built line on "hosts"

4.plug your phone

5.start WPconnect or Zune

6.let chevron do the works, it must be fine.

when i fail to unlock my phone, usually i miss one of these things. and its stressfull because i thought i did all fine.

note: if you somehow relock your phone after did the prevent from locking registry tweak, i found it cannot be unlocked again. you can do the DanielNTX's post as mentioned above, or you just do the hard reset.

hope it can help.

cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] HQRaja:
Hi,

I was just playing around with Advanced Explorer for WP7 and it struck me that since it works on any WP7 device, perhaps it can be used instead of TouchXplorer to copy '\My Documents\My Ringtones\CustClear.provxml' to '\Windows\' instead?

I'm no expert at this so I might (very likely) be wrong but from the OP, the only use for TouchXplorer seems to be for copying this file over and that's the only reason it isn't supposed to work on other devices because TouchXplorer itself won't work on those.

I'd like to hear the OP's take on this. Hope it ends up helping those with non-HTC devices. =)

EDIT: I'm not sure if HTC Connection Setup will run on any non-HTC device if installed using the XAP...if it doesn't, then Advanced Explorer for WP7 alone might not do the job I guess. Gonna try it on my Omnia7 now...will post an update on how it goes.

UPDATE: Installation of HTC Connection Setup was unsuccessful, as I expected. No go for me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ghazzkull:
Hello everyone

I dont find the ConnectionSetup App in my Phone....

I copy the xap 3 times on my phone no errors from the Application Deployment

All other Xap´s works

Copy and Paste the CustClear.provxml file works too.

Is there a subfolder or anything for the App?

thx
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
Are you on an HTC? Just go download Connection Setup from the Marketplace. It's free.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] smuppy:
Hmmm, I have a somewhat different issue on my HD2 with WP7.

I dont have touchxplorer installed any longer since it wouldnt start after the phone relocked itself. Chevron gives me the "uh-oh"-message, so i cannot unlock the device and hence i cannot install touchxplorer :)

If i mail the cert to myself, open the mail and install the cert on my device, that still wont help me as i cannot place the provxml in the correct folder for HTC Connection Setup to find and use that, correct?

Does anyone have a solution to that? :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
You're not doing something right. Just make sure you're following the steps in detail from the Chevron thread.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rivera0828:
i cant find the HTC Connection set up
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] smuppy:
You need to install the HTC Connection, either from Marketplace or from attached XAP in this (?) or other posts in subthreads.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] smuppy:
Hmm, are you sure?

I have tried on two different machines, one running win7 and one running xp, both with latest Zune (which might be the problem...).

I connect my HD2, Zune starts, hosts-file looks fine. I've checked with tcpview and I can see that Chevron sends a SYN and then the connection closes and Chevron tells me that it cant connect with my device.

Nothing is taking up port 443.

My phone is right now locked and since its locked i cant install touchxplorer, hence i cant move the provxml to the correct directory for HTC connection to read from that file and set the registry with the correct values... Do you see the problem here?

Any other suggestions?

I'll try once again to follow the instructions step-by-step and see if I can get it to work again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ghazzkull:
Ok thanks found it, the HTC-Apps are translated, in German the name is Verbindungs-Setup :P

I think it works after 2 connections the Phone is not relocked

I hate the App, every time i use it, it kills my APN :eek: ^^
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
You only have to apply this patch once so you won't have to reset your APN again.

how do you edit the registry?

how do you add those files or edit the registery if you can't unlock the phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
You just need to install that certificate and Chevron will allow you to unlock again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] behh:
any chance for that prevent for lg optimus ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] r0ark:
I am trying to prevent relocking so that when I update to NoDo, I would still be able to sideload stuff.

My carrier is Mobilicity in Canada.

I have T-MoUS HD7 which I flashed back to 7004 (from NoDo), unlocked via Chevron, and now trying to make it NOT relock when I sync with Zune. I followed the OP until I get to the part where I click on Connection Setup, and I get Warning "The carrier doesn't exist in database. Please contact your carrier for connection setting...blah blah..."

From my research, HTC Connection Setup does not have Mobilicity in the database, so that's why it threw the Warning.

Basically, i'm try to mod the registry to this.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]

"PortalUrlProd"=""

"PortalUrlInt"=""

Now, I've installed the Registry Editor but when I get to DeviceReg, I don't see the two values and it complained about permission.

I've tried the the provxml method, but since HTC Connection Setup does NOT work for me, I can't deploy those registry value into my phone.

So, for a user with carriers that are not in HTC Connection Setup database (like me), one can not modify the registry at all?

Isn't Registry Editor suppose to allow one to modify the values manually?

Please help. What can I do?

Update: I used TouchXperience Advanced Configuration Tool and it worked! Now, I sync with Zune and it's not relocking anymore. I emailed myself the provxml (changed to .xml) with the DeviceReg values set to null. Advanced Config recognized and applied it. Success! If anymore need detail on this, PM me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] andoridkiller:

Good to hear. Seems easier than this method... though I've never had to re-unlock so I have had no need to try other methods.

Thanks for this tip. Worked beautifully for me. I had just updated to NoDo the other day and found myself unable to unlock my device.

You must flash back to an older ROM like build 7004. Then you can unlock your Phone again, then you must prevent the relock. Then you can update to NoDonut.

Does unfortunately not work for HTC Trophy - with branding from A1 Mobilkom

Because running the HTC Connection setup, will somehow destroy your mobile Internet settings so you don't have access to the internet no more :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thesecondsfade:
All HTC Connection setup does is provision the provxml file that you copy to the Windows folder. It doesn't mess with your internet settings if the provxml file doesn't contain internet settings info.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DominikZ:
That's what I thought, but somehow it does mess with the internet Settings on A1 branded devices....

Even if you load the app from the marketplace - (and do not copy the provxml) - and select A1 as operator - it messes with your internet settings and you have to reset your phone..

Hey guys,

A little help here if you can. The other day my step son spilt his coke and luckily it only caught a few drops on my captivate, destroyed my desktop's keyboard though. I thought I cleaned it all well enough since it was truly only a few drops.

That was last night, today my volume and power and the door for my usb cable are sticking to the point of driving me insane. The volume is the worst of them. They still work I only have to press them like I am wanting to crush them.

My question is can any of you post a fix for this problem. A simple one if there is one. If there is no other solution but to take it apart and clean it could some one point me to a respectable walkthrough for doing so.

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
U could try putting it in a bag of rice for a couple days (with battery pulled out). Rice absorbs moisture very effectively.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentalDragon:
Yeah I had thought of that but this is coke. I am not having problem with moisture but with the sticky sugary leftover after it dried.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Maybe try a little rubbing alcohol or other type of cleaner that would be safe on plastic and use a toothpick with cloth to get around the buttons.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fritzgerald:
Honestly I wouldn't try this unless you're not worried about losing the phone completely. I've done it on one of my old phones and it worked so I'll throw it out there but I am in no way suggesting you try it.

Take your battery out.

Get a ziplok bag and fill it with rubbing alcohol.

Throw your phone in the bag and seal it up.

Shake the phone around in the bag for a while.

While the phone is still in the bag push the move all the moving parts that are sticking until they don't stick.

Take the phone out of the bag and put it in a bowl of rice for a day or two until dry.

It may only take a day since alcohol dries extremely fast.

P.S. This method will activate your water damage sticker. (Unless you can seal around it, I siliconed a little cap over mine)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpicaso:
Get yourself a can of air, the stuff used for dusting electronics and such. Turn the can upside down and spray the buttons out lightly while working them. Go easy with the trigger on the can as it will be liquid when it comes out and will be EXTREMELY COLD but it will dry almost instantly. removing the battery door will give you better access to the buttons. I have saved a few beer and soda damaged keyboards this way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
I would use a cotton swab (or ball) and some alcohol. Soak the cotton in alcohol; squeeze out most of the excess, but leave enough that some can work into the crannies around the sticky parts and rub it around where the stickiness is. Maybe use a dry tissue to suck out the alcohol afterward. Repeat until you are either happy with the way things work or you are convinced that it's hopeless.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xThe Enforcer:
1.) Smack your step son in the face.

2.) Even though it's Coke, try the rice method.

3.) If you wanna really clean it open it up and use a cue tip.

just take the phone apart and clean it with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. careful with the rubbing alcohol though, it is up to 30-40% water and can damage the phone. just like water can

Tried: **772

SPC code 000000

The bottom of the screen will have buttons that are directional like a d-pad.

Tried: Go into the Dialer and enter *#83786633 then press the Home key

Go back into the phone dialer and enter *#22745927

Now a box will come up asking for the SPC code. Enter 000000

Press the Hidden menu Enable radio button.

I am erasing the first entry before entering the second and im not pressing send..... the spc box never pops up for either

However I can get into testing and long shut down button enabled menus, however I can't get into gps testing (mine works fine) or others.

All I want is to switch to evrc b and volume controls to see if it helps. There has to be a difference between the verizon and telus code dialers.

Any help is much appreciated!, love the phone, but it should be a phone first everything else second not the other way around.
