Here is a collection of some hacks that I have found for the Samsung Jack. I hope you all find it useful. Hopefully we can get a collection of hacks on this thread to tailor our Jacks the way we like.
To reset the handset’s factory settings, via buttons, follow the steps below:
WARNING: This Reset will Delete ALL added Data from the Handsets Memory
When the handset is powered off, Press and Hold the 5 key then power on the handset
Press either the 1 key (Master Clear) or 2 key (Master Reset) at the Format Menu screen then press the Y key (Yes) at the confirmation prompt
Note: To turn the SGH-I637 (Jack) on or off simply Press & Hold the power button , located on the upper left side of the handset.
ADMIN settings-
You do not have to unlock security on the phone to be able to do this...
1) From the home screen type in *#1546792*#
2) pick 3 for network and call settings
3) Set network order to Auto, and network mode to auto
***Alternate***
In the \Windows directory there is a program called Adminsettings.exe. You can create a short cut in the Startmenu and not have to type out all of the
numbers.
Unlock security on the Jack-
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=7565
• The first step of removing the security limitations is to download the ClearSecurity file.
• Next, connect the Samsung Jack to the computer and move the file to the device through ActiveSync.
• Install ClearSecurity and launch Microsoft’s Security Configuration Manager.
• Select Security Off from the drop down menu and click the Provision button, the program will install a file called Tool.
• Run a registry editor program like Total Commander or Mobile Registry Editor and delete the key ForceCellConnection from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Comm>InternetSharing>Settings.
Make sure after you are done with the unlock procedure that you uninstall clearsecurity.cab, it will be called "SOTI MobiControl Device Agent" in remove
programs.
So far, the only button I have found to be able to reprogram is the AT&T button on the bottom left of the keyboard. It invokes MediaNet.lnk in the
\Windows directory. You can modify the shortcut to point to whatever program you want.
How about some tweaks as well.
Change StartMenu from grid view to list view:
HKCU > Software > Microsoft > Shell > StartMenu > Gridview. Change the value from 1 to 0.
Arrange the StartMenu list in the order that you want it:
HKCU > Software > Microsoft > Shell > StartMenu > Order. Just edit the values placing them in the order you want them to appear in the start menu.
Delete shortcuts in the StartMenu you do not want:
This requires the phone to be app unlocked. Install Total Commander V. 2.51 and navigate to the StartMenu folder in the Windows directory. Total Commander will allow you to delete shortcuts where Windows won't.
Change ringtone size limitation:
HKCU > ControlPanel > Sounds > FileSizeLimit. Just edit the value to any size you'd like.
Add custom alert tones to the default lists, without them appearing in the ringtone list:
HKCU > ControlPanel > Sounds > AllSounds. Add the the file name to the value list and then drop the file itself into the Windows system directory. It will appear in the settings lists.
Disable the AT&T sliding panel, if using the sliding panels homescreen:
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > CHome > CCustomPlugin1 > Disabled. Change the value from 0 to 1.
Disable threaded messaging:
HKCU > Software > Microsoft > Inbox > Settings > OEM > SMSInboxThreadingDisabled. Change the value from 0 to 1.
Cool tweaks is good too, Thanks.
Disable 3G in the Settings menu:
The phone will need to be app unlocked. Navigate to the following registry key, HKLM > Security> Phone > ManualDisable, and change the value from 1 to 0. Exit the registry. Go to Settings > Phone > Networks. Change Network selection to Manual. Hit the Menu option on the lower righthand corner and choose Select a Network. Depending on the signals you are picking up, you will get GSM and/or 3G. You may see GSM more than once if you are picking up a signal from more than one tower. If you get two, try both to see which gives you a better signal of the two. Improvement with signal and battery life will be minimal, depending on the area. It did help me with dropped calls.
The pocketnow.com site has dropped the app unlock article. However the 1800pocketpc.com one is still up. However, some are posting there that they are not having success with the process. Last I checked, megaupload.com was still hosting the clearsecurity cab. If you are going to try it. You better do it quick. Seems like Microsoft and/or AT&T may be working to put a stop to the unlocking.

Is anyone else having trouble running Microsoft's Security Configurator? Running a Vista machine and as soon as the program runs, I get an error that shuts down the program.
I was able to install ClearSecurity but can't get into the configurator to drop the security settings.
Won't run in Vista. Sorry
Well that just sucks.
Dear crt60:
I can not find the ClearSecurity program. I get an error message on the link http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=por...t=news&id=7565
Best regards
Check post 5 he upped it to this server.
Here is tool.cab for those that can't run Microsoft security configurator. It is the same tool.cab that it installs to unlock the registry.
Thanks. I'll download and give it a try.
Samsung JACK SGH-i637 Hacks
I'm coming to the Samsung world from HTC and I had a couple of questions.
1. I've looked around for a tool like the advanced configuration tool and cannot find one that will work on the Jack. Is there something out there that will work on winmo 6.1 standard?
2. In lue of a tool that will do this, is there a registry key I can change/set that will disable my 3g connection after a period of inactivity. i.e. I check do a send/receive to check my mail and then after 1 minute of no traffic, the 3g connection is terminated.
This is something that you could do with the advanced configuration tool. This comes in handy for saving battery life.
Thanks for any insight!
Samsung JACK SGH-i637 Hacks
FYI: I found the info below here: http://blog.vivekjishtu.com/2008/08/auto-disconnect-gprs3g-on-i780.html
To change the settings follow the detailed steps listed on this page. I have listed the steps in brief. You will need to use the registry editor to make the changes.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
The 1st key is DWORD CacheTime the number denotes the number of seconds to wait before the auto disconnect, by default it is 600 seconds.
the 2nd key is Multiline value / String SuspendResume which can have 2 values
"~GPRS!" - 3G always On
"GPRS_bye_if_device_off" - timeout after CacheTime

I unlocked my Samsung Jack as described above but from another website and deleted Internet Sharing. Much to my dismay, I did not have to delete the registry entry and I lost some of the internet sharing capabilities. Can someone give me the complete registry entry for Internet Sharing. If I can't get the entry I will have to reset the phone and lose all of my work up to now.

I am not sure if it fixed the problem completely or not. I can do Internet sharing using Wireless Manager, but I only have USB and Bluetooth under the Internet Sharing tab. Thanks for the help. One question if you have time to answer - I assume that there was not an entry under Default?

Yes, default is blank, no value, and USB and bluetooth connection to your PC from your phone is all there is.
This hack is so you can tether your phone from your PC and use it as an internet modem with Media Net.
Now you can connect to your 3G on your phone with your PC.

I have a new O2 XDAlli which I have unlocked. When I first set it up it prompted me whether I was a corporate or personal user. Unfortunately I selected personal user and I would rather have selected corporate user. How do I change the profile from a personal user to a corporate user?
Thanks,

As far as I'm aware you can't, you'll have to either hard reset, or completely uninstall the activeUI stuff.
To do this, you'll need to
a) remove Connections shortcut from \windows\startup
b) remove the font from \windows\font (i think there's only one there anyway)
c) remove all today screen plugins that o2 have put in...if you're not sure which these are then untick them all
d) then go into Remove Programs and uninstall the o2 software.
If you were on o2 then I'd suggest the second option. However, sounds like you're not as you've unlocked it, so hard reset would be best I think.
Cheers
Ant
Or easier than that, hard reboot, enter corporate, enter code 0506

CB
4tesq posted a further query via PM saying he wasn't able to:
"Ant,
I tried a hard reset but that does not seem to work. I also tried deleting the fonts etc but it said sharing violation.
When I hard reset, the screen says serial and then I soft reset it again to get it booted up. Is this correct?"
....
my response is:
I'm a bit concerned the bootloader screen came up after a seemingly normal hard reset, but as long as you're back into Windows Mobile that's ok.
I apologise, I got some of the steps the wrong way round. Think of the xda as a PC...you can't move or delete files that are currently in use. The correct steps to follow - assuming you somehow weren't then able to select corporate after your hard reset?? - are:
a) Delete "Connections" shortcut from \windows\startup
b) Go to Start > Settings > Today > Items tab and untick ANY o2 plugin. Again if you are unsure which these are, then just untick EVERYTHING
c) Close that, then SOFT reset (ie stylus into the hole on bottom left but do NOT hold the power button)
d) You should "reboot" into a screen with no items on the Today screen at all. If that's the case, go to Start > Programs > File Explorer and navigate to the \windows\fonts. Delete the item in there - it shouldn't complain about sharing violations now as all plugins are not started.
e) Just to be certain, perform another SOFT reset
f) Upon entering Window again, go to Start > Settings > System tab > Remove Programs and uninstall the o2 ActiveUI. This time it should say uninstallation (I love MS terminology!!) successful, but will complain it wasn't able to remove everything. In particular this will be the items in \windows\<<somethingsomething>> Solutions. No worries, just go to \windows\ and delete that folder.
As I said before though I'm puzzled if you did a proper hard reset it didn't then present you with the option to install as a Corporate user.
I've posted this in the forum as well in case anyone can add something else.

After searching all over the net for a guide and reading a ton of forums I decided to write this guide.
First Off:
I AM NOT RESPONISBLE FOR YOUR MISTAKES, BAD FILES or ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT ARRISE FROM THIS GUIDE!!!
1. Read this before doing anything!
2. If you can see the 3 Color bars on the screen and USB in the bottom left then you can reflash the device. This is the boot loader screen for the SDA. To get to this (while the phone is off) you have to hold down the camera button, then hold down the power button until the screen goes white. Then let go of the buttons. It does not matter if the USB is plugged in yet or not.
3. I have only seen Radio updates load on aftermarket firmware. Meaning not HTC or T-Mobile firmware. You should load the radio update last. If you try to load it on a factory firmware your phone will not boot as it is not a certified app, or at least thats what i belive the problem to be. I havent heard of any one making it work.
4. Copy down all the settings from your proxy, connections and mms settings. To get to the MMS go to the messages, MMS, then MENU, then OPTIONS, ACCOUNT OPTIONS, MMS. Copy those and then hit MENU and MMSC Settings also.
Step One: Get the files...
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com U: xda or xdaupload P: xda
ActiveSync 4.2
RegEditSTG.cab or regedit.exe
SPV-Services
Newest Firmware as of 8/29/06 - Dopod_586W_Romcode_AKU2_Update.exe
Newest Radio as of 8/29/06 - Tornado_Radio_4[1].1.13.19_02.37.01
Connect SDA to PC
------------------
1. First Install ActiveSync and then reboot the PC.
2. Now backup all of your files and contacts from the SDA.
Backup Key Files
----------------
3. Inside ActiveSync there is an 'Explore' button. Press this and goto the \Windows Folder.
4. Copy all the files that start with Short_XXX and Long_XXX to your desktop. These assign diffrent tasks to the buttons on the SDA. They are read only so you must uncheck the read only box on the file to edit them. To edit these you have to open notepad.exe and drag over the file. Later we will copy these back.
App Unlock Phone
----------------
5. Copy over the regedit.exe or the RegEditSTG.cab and run them from the SDA.
6. Go to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies and press the Values key.
7. Now edit the '00001001' and set it's Value Data to 1. (Default is 2 on mine)
8. Now edit the '00001005' and set it's Value Data to 40. (Default is 16 on mine)
9. Copy over the Cert.cab file from the SPV-Services folder to the SDA and run it from the File Manager. Say yes and it should say successfull. If not you will have to research the problem as the phone must be App Unlocked to finish this guide.
Unlock Phone and set SuperCID
-----------------------------
10. In the SPV-Services folder, run the SPVServices.exe. It should say ALL OK in big letters and RAPI Init was successfull. If not please reasearch the problem as the phone must be unlocked and have SuperCID '11111111' Set to work.
11. Click the SIMLock Tool on the left. Type in AGREE and hit Login.
12. If the button says UnLock then press it. Otherwise don't.
13. Now click the CID Tool button on the left.
14. You should now have a button that says 'Set CID = 11111111'. Press this button.
15. Close the app.
Load The Firmware
-----------------
16. Now close any open apps but this screen and run the 'Dopod_586W_Romcode_AKU2_Update.exe' or whaterver firmware you are using.
17. Check all the boxes and say update if you are sure you want to update.
18. If you use the firmware I have listed it will default to Chinese but it has English. Others may or may not so be carefull!!!
19. It can take a few minutes because it has to upload 45mb or so of data to the phone. You will see the progress bar on the screen as it is updating. DO NOT TURN OFF THE PHONE!!
20. The phone will reboot by its self after a while. Some people have reported up to 20 minutes for it to work so BE PATIENT! If it never reboots then good luck!
21. When the phone reboots it will most likly be in some other language. It will load the OS settings and you will have to hit the left key when asked to reboot the phone agian.
Change the language:
--------------------
22. Go to |START|SETTINGS|0|2|Press the joystick to the right till you see english. Now press the left key to accept.
23. It will tell you that you have to reboot to take effect.
24. Press the back arrow 3 times (this closes apps in the SDA in case you did not know).
25. Power off then power on the phone.
26. Now go back to |START|SETTINGS|0|2| and change your local to whatever you want.
27. Now go to the Clock and change it to your time zone.
28. Power off and then power on the phone.
Radio Update
------------
29. Now close any open apps but this screen and run the 'ROMUpdateUtility.exe'.
30. Check all the boxes and say update if you are sure you want to update.
31. When the phone is back online you will be using the newest radio update for the SDA.
Restore Keys
------------
32. Now copy the key files you copied off, back to the \windows folder on the SDA.
33. Reboot and they should work. I have had problems with the # key not going to the silent profile anymore.
Unlock Agian
------------
34. Go back to the 'Unlock Phone and set SuperCID' section (step 10 - 15) and follow the same steps.
Now for your settings
---------------------
35. Add all those connection settings back into the phone.
36. These were my settings for USA T-Mobile

Above is a link to a very good guide full of registry stuff and other things. Read it, its worth it.
After Dopod update
rom: 2.0.9.0
Operator: 2.6.37.0
Radio: 413.1.04_02.09.00
After Radio update
rom:2.0.9.0
Operator: 2.6.37.0
Radio: 4.1.13.19_02.37.01

One more thing about unlock. In the registry editor Policies key, you also want to add the following:
Now add a new DWORD value '0000101b' and set it's Value Data to 1. (It probably won't exist on your device, but if it does then just edit the value)
This sets the security model to Single-Tier, which will actually app-unlock the phone without having to edit the other two values listed in the guide (although I always change those as well just to be safe)
Notifications
Some people were also asking about the message notifications. The screen is not clearing on my device so I found a couple of links that might help.

my first rom upgrade for the sda, thanks to your easy to follow faq... many thanks!
interestingly enough, I didn't have to copy the keys back to the windows folder... strangely, the media keys already work. The only thing I don't like about this rom (as opposed to the ship rom I had) is that the english font looks different.
2 problems I'm having with Dopod_586W_Romcode_AKU2_Update.exe are full english support and inability to run spcservices which render it useless. I'm getting an error code for both SIM and CID. Also the english language support isn't all there. When I go to wifi setting and wpa, all the chars aren't there. No '_' and no '$', among many others.
No English T9
As much as I love the Dopod Rom, sooo fast, the lack of english t9 makes it unusable for me...
I read somewhere this may be due to a system font being replaced but I have not installed any new software in weeks.
Anybody know how to recover? I can't afford a hard reset.
Descriptions, But no icons or background
Maybe our problems have the same cause. The comm manager wizard worked for me before on my 8525. Then updated to WM6 and now it installs partway and stops. Message is "not enough permissions". I get the text for the buttons, but not the icons or background. Also can't afford a hard reset.
Would rather have your half of the problem. At least you can still see the keys.
Update. I was able to fix the problem.
At: http://blogs.conchango.com/stuartpreston/archive/2005/11/10/2376.aspx
found directions. Have included them below as modified to fix my particular problem.
The following reg editor at the blog site did not do the job on my 8525. RegEditSTG http://blogs.conchango.com/stuartpreston/files/regeditSTG.zip
I used the reg editor at here:http://www.8525software.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,27/func,fileinfo/id,86/
Followed the directions for what keys to fix in the link above. Reinstalled the comm manager "CommManager_8button_wizard.cab" and it works well. Looks good, too.
The reg edit I used works on the 8525 remotely from the PC. Just unzip and execute with the 8525 connected. Change the security policies as follows:
Navigate to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Write down any entries you change, before you change them.
Delete the entry you need to change.
click add DWORD and insert the correct values in the dialog on the PC's screen.
Change "00001001" value to 1 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 2)
Change "00001005" value to 40 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 16)
To fix the security policy, I changed only ...005 to 40.
Reboot device.
I believe WM6 is taking on the same baggage as PC Windows, so that this type of fix will become the norm instead of the exception.
Installed the Sprint Stock 6.5 ROM (upgrading from Stock 6.1 ROM) and I have 2 issues. (1) I was able to USB tether via ICS and WModem Fix cab and wifi tether via HTC WifiSharing cab before (no registry edits) with no problem. After installing the update, I cannot tether with either. I don't want to use PdaNet because I've read it is not as consistent as the cabs. I live in a rural area where broadband is almost non-existent and was excited that the cab worked on 6.1. The ICS cab downloads and creates a Sprint option, but the PC will not connect to the network. After clicking connect, the status changes to "check usb cable" and just stays there. Nothing is wrong with the cable, because Active Sync works fine. I installed Mr. X Tethering Tracking Hotfix cab, and it didn't help. I installed Calkulin's Tethering Hotfix cab, and it didn't work either. I even downloaded Merlin (Marlin) registry editor & attempted my first registry edit following Boo Boo's instructions, and that didn't work. Someone please tell me what the problem could be. And, no, I don't get the 67 error. I have an active data connection, but the tethering just won't work. Should I reflash the 6.5 ROM to clear the cabs and registry edits (remove programs doesn't remove some of these cabs)?
(2) Problem on 6.1 and now 6.5. Seems I have a ghost text message. My Inbox folder path is showing 1 unread text message, though, there isn't one. Against my own will, I even cleared out my text folder (in, out, draft, sent & deleted), and it still shows. Any suggestions on this as well? Besides those two issues, I like the 6.5 update.
Sprint TouchPro2 (stock 6.5)
I'm wifi sharing on my TP2 (WM6.5) with no probs. Can you give me some pointers on gett USB tethering going? I've installed ICS and WMonde Fix cab and Mr. X and MightyMike Tethering Tracking Hotfix cab but can't find any new applications on my phone.
Thnx,
found this over at ppc geeks it seems to do the trick...
- Enable USB Teathering -
(please omit the "" in all of these entries)
1. Go to: [HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]
2. Create a new DWORD Value called "Flags" and set the value data to "4"
(if it is already there then skip)
3. Softreset
4. Go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
5: Delete the "isext.dll" entry
6. Go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
7. Change "ForceCellConnection" from "PhoneAsModem" to "Sprint"
8. Softreset
**You should now be able to use ICS, but make sure your data connection is already
intialized prior to using (open a web browser of check your mail) or you may be
asked for a user name and password.**

Click to collapse
The problem I've been having thus far (on my Touch Pro2, WM 6.5) is that I can set ForceCellConnection to "Sprint", but when I softreset, it's automagically set back to "Phone as Modem".
I've seen suggestions that Windows/HTC_CM_Guardian.exe is the culprit, but replacing that file with an empty exe by the same name hasn't solved the problem for me.
So I'm trying this suggestion now. Fingers crossed. Can you verify... is the "Flags" value supposed to be a DWORD (as opposed to String or otherwise)?
Also, I'm intrigued by this entry [HKLM\Services\CMGuardian\Dll]. Perhaps it's that CM_Guardian_Service.dll that's the real (or new?) culprit which is causing the registry to be reset. Do I dare replace that dll with a dummy dll?
-------------------------------
UPDATE: I just checked my registry after following lnando84's instructions. (Indeed, "Flags" should be a DWORD value of 4.) The value of "Sprint" wasn't reset on softreset, and USB tethering is working for me. Thank you!
I absolutely love Gmote as It means I can control everything on my media PC on my phone without having to walk to the other side of the room to tend to my computer. The problem is I want to keep the windows password logon screen, but Gmote is not running at this time so I am unable to enter my windows password using my phone. My question is how do I get Gmote to run before the login screen so I can use it to input my password?
I have spent many hours trying to accomplish this, and have figured if I want Gmote to be available at the logon screen I will have to setup Gmote as a windows service. I seem to have done this successfully by following the below steps:
1.Run SrvInstw.exe
2.Check Install Service radio box, click Next
3.Check Local Machine radio box, click Next
4.Enter the name for your service, click Next
5.Click Browse and select srvany.exe (which is in the same folder as SrvInstw.exe, remember?), then click Next
6.Click Service is its own Process radio box, click Next
7.Select what user account you want this service to run under. If this service is to have its UI, check the Allow Service to Interact with Desktop checkbox. Normally the services run under System Account
8.Select the startup option, click Next
9.Click Finish. But you are not finished just yet
10.Open RegEdit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
11.Locate the service you just created in the Services branch, click on it.
12.Create a new key called Parameters
13.Click on Parameters and create a new string value called Application
14.Double-click on Application and set it equal to the full path of your VB executable (e.g. c:\...\MyApp.exe)
I then had a problem when Gmote was starting that it would complain about VlC libraries. After more research I found the following rectified this
A. Right-click "Computer" and choose "Properties".
B. on the left, choose Advanced system settings.
C. Click the Advanced tab, then "Environment Variables"
D. On the bottom "System Variables" group, scroll down to the "Path" variable and double-click
E. What is here varies by what you have installed on your computer. You need to edit the value.
F. Move all the way to the end and add this (no space after current contents):
;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6;C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC;C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins
My only problem now is that Gmote seems to be starting before my wirless network is configured and comes up with an error message:
“unable to join the multicast socket. Is the computer connected to a network? Exiting Gmote.”
Once the wireless network is configured if you close this warning box everything works as it should. Even with the warning box open the file browser works but not the touchpad. The problem is I can’t close this box without a mouse or keyboard, so defeats the object of having my media centre pc solely controlled from my phone.
I looked into adding dependencies to my Gmote registry service key, as I thought this may rectify the problem. The dependencies I have added are RpcSs, Ndisuio, WZCSVC, Ip6Fw, Dhcp, Tcpip, Afd, NetBT (this are the logical ones I could think of)
Despite this Gmote still starts before my wireless network adapter is configured, so I always get the error message. Is there anyway to make sure Gmote only starts once my wireless network is configured?
Not a whole lot to add other than I'm looking for a solution to this problem as well. Thanks for making so much good progress on it!
Where does one find SrvInstw.exe on Windows 7?
Have Googled around and it seems I need a Resource Kit or PowerTools or something.
Any insight appreciated!

If you're on xp, try a dependency on the wireless zero configuration service.
If you're on 7, try setting that service to automatic (delayed) startup.

You don't have to have srvinstw, it's just a gui for creating the service. What you DO need is srvany, which is supposed to work if you use the files from the server 2003 resource kit.
To create the service without srvinstw, use sc from (admin) command line:
Code:
Sc create mysvcname binpath= c:\path\to\srvany.exe start= auto type= interact type= own
If type= own doesn't work, try type= shared. Then follow op's registry edits.
If you need to delete the service to try again, use
Code:
Sc delete mysvcname

use task scheduler
I have got gmote working as I want by using the task scheduler in xp. I removed gmote from the startup folder where it was originally and then added it as a scheduled task with the following options:
run only if logged on
scheduled task = once
start time I set for 2 mins from now
advanced: repeat task every 1 minutes
then I also setup xp to logon automatically (do a search for control userpasswords2 if you don't know how).
at the specified time in 2 mins gmote server starts up and once running the task scheduler seems to know not to try and relaunch it. If I restart my computer then it logs on to xp automatically and then in a minute or less gmote relaunches, simples! I do note however that if I suspend my computer then when I turn it back on it comes up with the xp login screen even though I have no password set and although the gmote server is still running it won't let me have control till after the log on screen so I have to drag my fat ass across the room and press enter on my keyboard. Alternatively I can just shut down the computer rather than suspending?
