[Q] Advanced Config & Mango 7712

Does anyone know why exactly this doesn't work post mango. I have read it's because of the interop flag, but TouchXplorer still works. So is it just a matter of recompiling it or will we have to wait for another program that can access the themes and set sounds to anything?

Its the interaction of the program with the system and registry and would require recoding once schaps knows how to integrate it. It is not as simple as changing a line. Cheers

I figured as much. Best we can do is wait then.

It's not the "interaction"... The main reason is: Mango beta (and so on!) disables support of unsigned COM-bridge back door. So, the only manufacturer's signed dll's are supported now (but not mix of homebrew/different manufacturers etc.) And you should have at least a jailbraked version of WP7 (developer's unlock is not enough!).

HTC App issues (unable to install HTC Apps)

Updated my wifes HTC Arrive from NoDo to Mango via Zune official update. Everything appeared to be working, until I went to update HTC apps like flashlight, HTC Hub, HTC Photo Enhancer.
Getting error
"Marketplace error We're sorry, but we can't complete your request right now. Try launching Marketplace again. If the problem continues, check back in a little while, or try restarting your phone. Error code: 80320011".
or
If I try to get any HTC app from within that HTC Hub, the details pages for the apps are working, but there is a note present there "This app is not available for your device. Tap here for more info.". There: "App not available This might be because your phone software needs to be updated, the app is exclusive to a different mobile provider, or the app is not available in your region".
Rolling backto NoDo then will try to update again.
Anyone else having this issue with HTC?

Yes, they locked down the apps so no one can download them.

yeah but I also have a HTC Arrive that had the leaked RTM that got the HTC software update today, and all the HTC branded apps work on it just fine.

Yes, I'm having the exact same issue. Did the rollback then reinstalled official release through Zune, no dice. Sound Enhancer won't update, give the same error. All of the HTC updates worked fine with RTM 7720.

Using leaked HTC 7 Pro ROM, same problem - Error code 80320011. Can not install compass, can not upgrade Sound Enhancer.
By the way - is leaked ROM the same as official ROM, downloaded via Zune? Could someone with officialy upgraded 7 Pro write firmware numbers?

up to now I can't install/upgrade HTC apps.
HD7 NoDo to official mango.

Sound enhancer isn't in the marketplace any more so it's not going to update... Once I installed mango had to wait a like a day for all the apps to update (13 total). Oh and you can finally download connected media. There's no warning or error anymore

Check and see if you have "HTC Apps" when you go into Marketplace.
I've spent hours and tried different upgrade paths (7392 to official 7720, 7712 to official 7720, 7712 to leaked 7720 + HTC Update) numerous times, and it seems that I'd lose "HTC Apps" from the Marketplace at some random point. I can't seem to identify the pattern or reason but it's almost as if the phone loses its "identify" i.e. no longer thinks it's an HTC or something. A reset fixes the problem but then you lose the unlocked ability.
At the moment I'm staying with my unlocked 7712 backup (I know, somehow I decided to create a backup of 7712 which gives me one more option or upgrade path) to leaked 7720 + HTC Update. This is on Mozart T8697.

I downloaded dock mode but htc watch is not working, any ideas?

same here.. "HTC Apps" were gone in my marketplace.. weird because this is normal upgrade from NoDo to Mango and not using the force upgrade.
I'm using HD7.

Quote myself from another thread:
HTc Apps now work on my trophy!!!
After waiting 3 days, the App "attentive phone", which I had in my Applist since nodo, is now not longer in app list, but in my config menu. Since that, I can install the HTC DLNA App (in german: verbundene medien), too.
Now everything works nice, and i can say, the update force trick isn´t a problem, it just took a few days....whatever

I can't acces to Orange App... and i can't update my app Samsung in Mango version (Now, etc...) --> Requiere a Samsung Device... lol^^ (i have a Omnia 7)
I don't have a way... and you ?
PS : with Mango Beta 7720 (RTM), i can instal this applications...

[Q] Is my HTC HD7 still Interop-Unlocked? How can I know that?

My HTC HD7 is running the latest version of Mango and the last firmware version (not installed the 2012 January update yet). I Interop-Unlock it from the "7.0" version of Windows Phone and now I'm running Mango and I can deploy and run apps like Screen Capturer, CSharp___DllImport, Stop the Music! and TouxhXperience but I can only deploy apps like SMSBackup and TouchXplorer, beacause once these started, nothing happens. So, am I still Interop Uncloked or not? How can I know it?

As far as I know, your phone is still interop-unlocked. You can deploy apps that require interop to the phone without error, right?
Also, I am pretty sure those apps do not support the HD7 (I'm pretty sure the SMS backup one doesn't. And the TouchXplorer one doesn't work for my HD7, either)
Hope that helped! (And yes, my primary phone is an HTC HD7)

as i see your phone is still interop unlocked and those apps haven't support for HD7

Is there any way to re-interop? Focus S.

Hello,
In all my excitement over Tango, I neglected to read any of the warnings posted around the forums/web. I installed Tango via the cab sender method (neglected to make a backup) and everything still worked, or at least the homebrew apps I launched still did. Searching the forums, I found the Samsung firmware somewhere in the replies to the cab thread, and pushed it also. This was late at night and it wasn't until the next day I noticed I can't launch almost half of my homebrew apps. It's said restoring from a backup (don't have one) or flashing back to Mango is the only way to fix this. Is that true? Well ****. Because there is no ROMs (stock nor custom) for the Focus S..
What should I do?
Thanks in advance,
6-4.

Yeah... I want to say you're unfortunately screwed :-\.

To make matters worse, the Wireless manager no longer appears to work for configuring MMS when carrier unlocked. I guess I'll just go back my Quantum's for hacking and hard reset this device ..ill wait a while though.

Do you have *any* homebrew apps that
A) you can still run
B) you marked as Trusted in WP7 Root Tools?
It sounds like what happened is that your phone reverted from interop-unlock to simple dev-unlock (you presumably have an AppHub account?). However, this does *not* revert root-unlock as applied by WP7 Root Tools. Root Tools itself requires ID_CAP_INTEROPSERIVCES, and as such can't be run without interop-unlock. However, the apps that it has marked as Trusted will continue to run with full permissions (root unlock).
So, here's what you do.
First, identify an app that you can run (i.e. that isn't interop) and that is marked as Trusted.
Second, take the GUID of that app, and use that GUID to replace the ProductId of the Tango-update-workaround app (which essentially just restores interop-unlock).
Third, remove homebrew apps from your phone (but not the target app, the trusted one you can still run) until you are able to deploy an app (usually, this means reduce to 9 homebrew apps).
Fourth, use a XAP deployer that supports updating, and do an update-install of the workaround app (upgrade, because it's using the GUID of the already-installed target).
Fifth, run the workaround app, and then re-install your normal apps.

I did as you instructed, however I still have the 10 sideload limit and am unable to deploy any interop services.By tango workaround app, you meant relockprevent, correct?
Is there something I may have missed?
Like I said, I installed the Samsung LE2 update for the Focus S which is basically the KK2 equivalent, so provxml will no longer work.
Also, I do not have an apphub account.

Bump. Anyone have any ideas? A friend put a support ticket in with Samsung internal support to see if they can get the ROM.

Oh so it was that firmware update that just broke interop. Yeah I want to say at this point you are stuck. I doubt that Samsung will give the ROM since it isn't an issue that is preventing you from doing out of the box functionality.

isnt the provxml method using diagnostic tools the reason for this no longer working, what i mean by that is if you were to install the older version of the diag tool would that not restore functionality, or has the lock down of that gone much deeper? if you are able to install XAPs then find an older OEM update version pre KK2/LE2, open it up and rip out the diagnostic tool XAP, remove any previous installed version then send over the XAP....
just a thought, it might not work, but essentially i think thats what happens unless of course there are other dlls or drivers that the tool needs that have also been updated....
course it would be great to find someone willing and able to help crack the bootloader

Yeah I gave the suggestion to him in the Cab Sender thread to try and look on here for the Diag v 0109 or even 0210. That's the version that I have. Actually in the Cab Sender thread, I posted the cab file to the samsung firmware for Mango that should have that diagnostics version in the cab. You may be able to push that to your device

The old version was still installed after updating, it didn't work.

Ok, that means that the firmware also pushed out new Dlls to prevent proxvml. You are stuck unfortunately :-\

Ive been asking around and doing some research and as of today your stuck, sorry!
I did some poking around on DFTs website as well and there is absolutely ZERO work being done on it, mostly because it seems like the focus S is an AT&T only phone, there just isnt a pressing needed to do anything, plus most folk dont have a focus S to work with.
i dont know what it would take to get some help or even guidance on getting the bootloader replaced but at the moment, until another method is found, thats all there is.
Tho This might be interesting to look in to but DONT DO IT!
did i read somewhere else you dont have a preupdated backup or was it that the backup didnt work?

There is a lot of changes in those updates, if we could insert our own certificate to allow us to build our own signed cabs we could probably work it out, but alas we can only add a cert in to a custom ROM then flash it...

Yes, unfortunately I bought the phone from a guy here on XDA in May, never had to update it (had been cab updated to 8107 before I got it), never made a backup before installing tango (it's a small update, what could it possibly **** up, right?) Anyway the Focus S was announced yesterday as being available online at some Australian website so maybe there will be ROMs available in the future. I still haven't heard back from internal Samsung support, but have also asked the user I purchased the phone from if he has any backups, which I would restore from and immediately reset again to ensure his privacy.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind losing interop-unlock until 7.8 comes around, or WP8 (whichever I can afford first), but MMS also can't be configured using the Wireless Manager anymore, and that's an absolutely vital feature for me. Although, the WM has been known to not work for a lot of people, even pre-tango, but it worked flawlessly OOB for me prior to updating.

so you updated to the LE2 samsung update, was that via zune? (the last update it does in a row 3rd or 4th perhaps!) or did you cab send that as well?
if you went via zune then it does a backup as well, settings>update>restore

It was all done through the cab sender. There is no backup.

Just wanted to mention here... you know that CAB Sender is perfectly capable of making backups, right? It's one of the core operations the tool is capable of. Don't blame CAB Sender for you pressing S instead of B.
I just don't want people getting the impression that "through the cab sender" implies "there is no backup."

Fully aware, thank you.

Hello guys!
Got my device on the 8773 and did the samsung update...
Is there anyway to get my interop back ?
I have my backups (one the last 8773 without samsung update and the other is 7740 without anything =] )
Thanks a lot.

Restore your backup, do a little bit more reading on the subject of Tango with Interop Unlock, install the prevention app and mark it as trusted, and have at it. (Specifically, Tango will reset the "prevent relock" registry values, so you have to avoid the phone connecting to Microsoft until you have cleared them again).

Windows phone system broken!

I tried to install gun bros this morning and halfway thru the installation it freezes
After reseting the phone, i cannot access the following
Zune
Marketplace
Settings (barely) --> cannot go into factory reset
xbox live
Camera (barely - take a photo and it gets stuck)
Internet (barely - cant access favorite)
ALL THIRD PARTY APPS ==> CANNOT ACCESS
The following still works
People
Picture
Messaging
methods tried
1. Sync with pc - see if it automatically fixes = no
- cannot sync media
- cannot access backup
- shows the following error message when syncing
http://www.zune.net/en-AU/support/w...help_originalid=C00D124D&webhelp_locale=en-AU
2. Switched battery, took out the sim card
I am not updated to Tango yet.
Is there anyway other than hard reset this phone? T_T

Does anyone know if you factory reset a phone, can it still go back to using the old backups?

Yes, you can still restore from backups after a hard reset. I've done it a few times on a couple of different handsets.

What model of phone is it?
Have you installed your own SD card in it (replacing the built-in one or adding your own, depending on model)?
Have you been messing with it in any hacky way (for example, do you have WP7 Root Tools installed, or have you flashed a custom ROM)?

Mozart 7 - chevron unlocked
No custom sd or rom
I ended up resetting it and return to my old backup. But now I don't have tether update anymore from HTC and the only update I keep receiving is tango... And I don't want to update to tango because I will lose my chevron unlock!
The frustration sigh..

Do you mean ChevronWP7 Labs unlock, or the original Chevron Unlocker hack? If you've managed to carry the unlock hack forward this far (i.e. to Mango), you must have already interop-unlocked your phone. In that case, your best bet is to use WP7 Root Tools and follow the instructions on WindowsPhoneHacker about how to upgrade to Tango without your phone connecting to Microsoft to validate its unlock status. Even if you don't have WP7 Root Tools installed right now, your firmware version may now be compatible after you restored that backup.
If you have a Chevron Labs unlock, then you also now have a free AppHub account for official developer unlock, and that will give you the same amount of unlock access as Chevron Labs unlock does.

Lol I'm on chevron original unlock! Carried till latest mango with no interop unlock! I know that after 1 of the HTC update I couldn't use the registry editor anymore.
My current problem is that I restored to a backup without tethering, and I can't get that update anymore because I keep receiving the tango update instead
Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

All of the published ways to carry your original Chevron unlock forward to Mango also included interop-unlock (which is just the removal of the app sideloading limit), although you may not have known that.
I repeat, what firmware version are you on right now? Also, even if it doesn't *work*, can you at least launch the registry editor app? The answer to the first question will tell me how many HTC updates you have currently (and therefore what hacks can be used). The answer to the second will tell me whether or not you are, in fact, interop-unlocked (if you can launch apps like Registry Editor at all, regardless of whether they work, you're interop-unlocked).

Um ur actually talking to the same person on the mango interop unlock thread... Lol
OS version:
7.10.8107.79

U pointed out it is 50001 already so it should be v2
But I replied that I have never applied the interop hack and I DO have access to registry editor still right now
Thank you for your responses, hopefully I'm not confusing u too much.
Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

The hack to carry your Chevron unlock forward to Mango *is* an interop unlock. There's many ways to apply the hack; the one you're probably thinking of is special only because it works for people who are already on Mango and didn't prepare their phones in any way beforehand.
That said, your firmware version is too high, as you say. If you don't downgrade that somehow, you won't be able to install WP7 Root Tools and therefore will lose your hacked unlock when you upgrade to Mango.
