Hi,
i have the following problem:
i have used the Chevron tool to deploy the USBSwitcher App to test the debug mode...
i have used the tutorial to prevent my hd7 from relock, but that doesn't work...
The application has been revoked and uninstalled :'(
So im stuck at the debug mode with no chance to change the USB-Mode...
Could anybody make a C-ROM with that app?
Or is it possible to use the Bootloader-Mode to install an xap to WP7?
i hope that somebody can help me
im really desperate... :'-(
custom roms need access to HSPL. We dont have access to HSPL yet
So is there another chance to go back into zune-mode?
I've no idea. There seems to be **** all development going on for HD7. Custom roms aren't available yet. Maybe some one else can help ya.
Sent from my HD7
maybe there is a way that someone make a backup of his phone while the USB-Switch is installed...
then i have the chance to set the mode to zune-mode again when i install the backup!?!?!
hope that sby can help me
Srry for doublepost, but:
Does anybody having the same problem tried to flash another Radio ROM?
did it work?
Yes I know about you trouble.
The only way is to unlock your device, with a super cid.
My friend had the same expr., and solved it.
Super cid unlock will display "security unlocked" on your bootloader mode.

I already flash my device (HD7) with another ROM that match with my Firmware, unfortunately the mode is not switching to ZUNE.

how can we do that?
Sooo
i found out something interesting...
as this device is in qualcomm mode now i installed the Qualcomm Product Support Tool (QPST) and connected it...
it works...
so could anybody which knows that program make a backup of his phone (when the USb-Switch-App is installed) so that i can get back into zune mode?
Would be great to hear from you...
so now the first update is out...
could anybody give me an backup from WP7 with the USB-Switch App?
would be really great...
but be careful:
before you give the backup you must be sure that you don't have an live account assigned because i don't want to mess up anybodys mails (or even read it...)
would be great if someone could post an fresh WP7 backup with only USB-Switch app...
thanks

I dont know where you can find the SPL unlock service, in your place.
In China I only know one place named "Hua Qiang Bei" in Shenzhen City, which is one of the most biggest electronic market.
This unlock service only costs about 10USD, I have some friends bought HD7s from Shenzhen City, all T-mobile version and "security unlocked" shows on the bootloader mode. The devices are network locked when come from USA, I think this is the quicker way for the seller to unlock the network (SIM), by unlocking the SPL.
I heard that they use a set of HTC debugging or testing software to do it, which limited people know about it. Thats all i know.
oberoth, were you able to find a solution to your problem? I am in the exact situation and need dire help. I have spent too many hours trying to figure this one out.
Hi,
i haven't found s solution yet, but now there is RSPL/HSPL so maybe one of our great cooks can make a ROM with the USBSwitch-App?
Would be really great :O
Best Regards
Oberoth
after install it wil be found in the settings ...working pretty good on my hd7

if you unlocked your phone with chevron or any other registry editor you are fully unlocked. However if you have a true developer unlocked phone (via a dev account with MS), then you cannot install interop apps on Mango. See here for details.
A user with a legit dev unlocked device cannot deploy ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES xaps. They just get the dreaded E: 0x81030120 error.
Here is what the expert says.
but there is hope for Samsung and HTC users. Heathcliff just released a new procedure to fully unlock without going back to NoDo here.
---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------
btw. there is another thread announcing the app. Schaps also updated the registry editor which works fine on my LG Quantum.
there is no straight forward way to uninstall the newly installed apps from the settings page. I successfully uninstalled with XAPDeployX. Sideload the xap again and check "force uninstall if application is already installed". Then click deploy. The program will uninstall the existing one on the device first and report this in the deploy tool with a success message. Right then you unplug the phone from the USB. Voila - it is now uninstalled and gone from settings.
Somebody else posted that you can install an older version (e.g. v1.3) that will show up in apps. Then you uninstall and it normally and it will be removed from settings as well.
just in case it doesn't work for you and you want to remove it...

if you are on Mango until now only LG users were able to get into the registry via the MFG tool to unlock their devices. Other users would have to go back to NoDo, fully unlock, set measures to prevent relock and then upgrade. But Heathcliff seems to have found a way to do this without going back to NoDo. He seems to be very close to a solution, working on Samsung and probably soon on HTC as well. I'd suggest you wait and follow that thread before going the painful back-to-NoDo route.

I'm on Mango beta. To install the official release, I'll have to revert to NoDo. I did on a previous phone, and escaped unharmed.
So depending on which arrives first, how do I fully unlock, etc. before installing the official update? I tried previously, but must've done something wrong because it didn't work.
I am following Heathcliff's thread. With reverence, awe and bated breath.
Again, thanks.

Many believe that if on 7720.68 you will just see firmware and radio updates rolled out to your device and you are all set. We really do not know at this point and might as well throw a coin. There seems to be some evidence that those on 7720.68 won't have to roll back.
If you do have to go back then unlock and stay locked using these guides

There is reports on the internet of Tango rolling out on AT&T - can anyone confirm this? I used the cab sender method so of course when I check for an update, it says my phone is on the latest version 7.10.8773. However, there is Samsung firmware bundled with the A&T firmware - does anyone know what it does? Does it fix the hanging wireless driver, does it break interop-unlock, does it fix the issue when powering on the screen sometimes?
If anyone could capture the update via wireshark and give me a link to download and install, that would be great I mean.. unless it breaks interop-unlock, in which case I don't give a **** about it.
Thanks,
6-4
the most recent update from ATT is still @ 7.10.7720
This is the Samsung update..
www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdo..._7c77306f9c299d47b491ac080855febbd68c0ccf.cab
did you try installing the firmware did the firmware relock ur phone?
Sorry - yes, I installed the firmware and there was no negative repercussions, worked flawlessly.
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
you have to apply the prevent relock xap that jaxbox has on his windowsphonehacker website if you want to keep interop unlock if you apply the samsung update. Thats how im still interop unlocked, with tango and the samsung firmwae update which fixed the keyboard lag. i made a back up before i applied the samsung update just in case so i would do the same if i were you.
thanks, did the firmware update already. i have applied the prevent lock xap before doing the firmware update i kept a backup also just in case. works great and kept my interop unlocked.
One thing ive notice, before the fw update i can only play/pause/volume up, now everything are working including the next/previous track clicks controls.
Wow scratch that. My phone called home and now half my homebrew apps won't launch.. apparently reflashing is the only way to fix this? Great. Stock roms for the focus s aren't even available.. ****.
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
actually my focus s was relock after the tango update and deleted some of my sideloaded apps after launching them. i did apply windowbreak again then deployed the prevent relock xap and finally applied the fw update. hopefully it will remain unlock.

Lucky you - I neglected to read the info about preventing the relocking, I just figured it would happen as soon as I installed the cab. What to do, what to do..
My GF's Focus S on AT&T has been giving an update notice for a couple days. Finally plugged it into Zune and the update failed. I previously force updated to 8107 for VVM support. Hopefully someone will release the cab file to upload in the forced state, as I'm guessing many people didn the force update.

I have the same issue updating by zune. Then I revert to the previous firmware version to recover the interop unlock and then I deployed the prevent relock xap but then you said you applied the firmware update. How do you apply the new firmware update? ussing zune?
sorry, i think i missed something here, has anyone applied the LE2 samsung OEM update that is shipped out with Tango and noticed if you can no longer use diagnostic tool to apply updates?
my phones still not arrived yet but surely updates can be done as following, please correct me if im wrong, ive been kinda used to the HD2 for years...
unlock
backup (A) (keep copy)
cab OS update
unlock if needed
backup (B) (keep copy)
apply OEM (LE2) update
at this point you should have an unlocked device but are unable to re unlock it if needed, but do benifit from newer drivers etc.
To update to the next OS or enable unlocking you
restore the backup of that same OS version BUT without the OEM update (backup B)
apply the next CAB OS update,
unlock it,
backup again (B) (keep copy),
apply next CAB OEM update
essentially for every OS update you revert your OS to the backuped up version without the OEM update allowing you do mod it after you cab update the OS.
unless we can install our own certs and make our own OEM update minus all the crap we dont need....

I have applied the fw update manually thru cab sender (did not used zune software).
Hi Guys,
I updated with the cab from 64GUNSHIP my samsung focus S but now is always rebooting.
I can't syncronize the mobile phone to restore the backup.
Can you help me?
Edit: Finally I can't restore with Zune pushing turn on button and camera button from the mobile phone, finally I restore with the Zune application.
Hey! I used cab sender for my Focus S, updated to Tango and now in Zune there's the Samsung update :victory: updated with no problems :good: solved many fixes like the keyboard, and sound
Has anyone been able to use internet sharing after applying the fw update through cab sender? I'm not on ATT and get the generic message to call 611 to enable it...
If I roll back to tango it's fine...Definitely still interop unlocked as all my sideloaded apps still work.

You can change any value by Registry Editor and save ? (or not - I think so not)
For check you can try to install an application that needs access to the root eg: Shutdown: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21751650&postcount=1
You can install app but not run (when tap, app is back to the apps list).

How about we all save some time and stop trying this silly idea, huh?
The interop unlock you're trying to install was for older HTC WP7 devices. It doesn't work on newer devices, and it certainly won't work on WP8 devices. The apps won't work for two reasons:
-Your device isn't interop unlocked
-The binaries are compiled for WP7, not WP8. Not even simple innocent apps like Orientation Lock run under WP8, because they aren't compiled correctly for WP8, nor do they use the correct APIs.
What should be encouraged, however, is an evaluation of the OEM apps on the device, to see if any have exploitable holes. I'm guessing that HTC has learned its lesson by now, but hey, worth trying.
Also, I'm curious to see if this XAP will do anything if sideloaded. I'm guessing no, as it won't have interop privileges, but I'm still curious to see what happens.

I test this method in devices unlocked by a code that I bought in libertyunlock.com, the unlock it's permanent, the tethering otherwise I don't really know if you will losing it, because the devices that I updated don't have a jailbreak and by this method (unlocking by code) you need the At&t tethering plan to tether. I presume that making an update in a device jailbreaked you will losing it at the time your firmware change...
Sorry for not be more useful Greg
I can however help a bit more
upgrading to 7.8 will not permanently lock your device, it will however attempt to relock its self once its installed, this can be stopped by either applying the relock prevent xap again or by applying the unlock again
if you update the firmware then all is not lost, you can stil unlock or remain unlocked as mentioned above, if you hard reset though you will not be able to apply the dev unlock as you had originally done
course this is all academic now that all 2nd gen samsungs can be unlocked regardless of their firmware, search around the WP7 forum for the answers, it is harder than the original unlock by beggar's cant be choosers

Good question, what is your OS and firmware version?
Demo mode suggests that its not a retail model, it may be lacking features.
however, if you are running exactly the same OS and firmware version then perhaps we can compare and find out what is making it restart. I suspect that its different versions though

i was attempting to do an interop unlock, however i forced another backup not realizing that the original 7.5 backup would have been overwritten...
since i'm now faced with the samsung wireless manager apn list being empty issue, how do i go about getting the software downgraded without the backup or getting the interop unlock without the samsung wireless manager blocking the entire process?

Use the new method of unlock on the wp7 root tools web site, it allows the phone to be unlocked even if you have updated the firmware.

thanks for the reply...
been doing a bit of research. Please correct me if I'm wrong...
Isn't this the method you're referring to? >>> http://wp7roottools.com/index.php/d...rop-unlock-for-2nd-gen-samsung-wp7-devices-v3
2 methods are listed here... both of which require an APN switch for the unlock to be complete...
Like it but I'm not sure if my phone is unlocked
I flat out ught the phone and got a Net10 unlimited card and it works well but I'm at 7.5 and 11.10.1 and I would like to update it but I'm not sure this is the way, Ive only had the phone a few days but I do want the newer software...your opinion will be helpful to the newbe

that's the one, I don't understand why your not able to change the APN, the wireless manager is still on the market place
the process of the V3 unlock adds the correct settings to the APN settings, so if you had problems before on the older update process, you should try the new one anyway

That's all obsolete now, the firmware did bugger it all up but the new v3 method bypasses the problem

i guess im the only one with the problem. The APN list remains empty no matter what i do. Tried both methods. It only shows AT&T 4G as the active APN...
is there any hope for me?
