Looking for roms - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does some1 know roms for lg swift 7 and nokia lumia 710? What i need are custom or stock roms with unlock and instruction how to install it.
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v11 (1.21ghz)

Stock ROMs come locked by default (there are official ways to unlock a stock ROM, though). If you want a pre-unlocked ROM, that will need to be a custom ROM. The problem is, currently we can't install custom ROMs on LG or Nokia Windows phones, only on first-gen HTC and Samsung phones. The bootloaders are locked.

Thanks. I know how to root/unlock/flash android but in wp7 section im new and i cant find any free and easy method to do it so i was thinking about unlocked rom
is there any chance to unlock .xap instalation easy an free (i want to add new ringtones)
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v11 (1.21ghz)

For LG, yes, you can developer-unlock (and even interop-unlock, which is required for high-privilege apps) easily using the built-in registry editor.
For Nokia, such a hack isn't currently possible. The only ways to dev-unlock a Lumia currently are to get an AppHub account from Microsoft; either a student account (free, go through DreamSpark) or a paid account ($99 / year).
That said, you can install custom ringtones without any unlocks at all. There are many apps on the Marketplace that will provide ringtones, or you can install your own using the Zune software. The instructions for doing so are online, but basically you create a file that is the right length and set the genere to "RINGTONE" and then you sync it to the phone like normal.

I tried registry unlock for lg and than after sending .xap file with ringtones (made using chevron ringtone or similar) i didnt get any new ones even after restart.
Than i tried to use tom xap instaler or similar and it gave me error (sth like this: zune isnt launched or phone not unlocked)

Download Zune software first. Connect your phone to Zune and then while Zune is open, run the xap installer.

This is what i did and after that windows sdk let me install xda file to phone (tom installer.had error). But after that there wasnt any new ringtones
thanks for all answers but i still didnt work

Did you try running the app? Although some homebrew apps do their magic during install, most apps will require you to run them...
Note, the original ChevronWP7 Ringtone tool is very out of date and should probably not be used anymore.
Out of curiosity, why are you trying to install ringtones via app anyhow? You can do it just with Zune...

But with zune i can do it only with short ringtones and i want have longer.
Is there method to add long (3-4min) ringtones without unlock? Cause i want only this
Sent using r800i with DoomKernel v11 (1.21ghz)

Without unlock? Probably not. I'm unclear why you'd want this, though; doesn't your carrier just go to voicemail in 30 seconds anyhow? Most of the ones I've seen (in or out of the US, though I've never been to Poland) will do so, typically somewhere between 20 and 40 seconds in.

I dont know the lg very good, concerning roms, but i know that for the 2nd gen Lumia devicees there are no custom Roms atm..
but theres one thread, where Jaxbot, heathcliff etc. are working hard on getting it to work for interop unlocking the Lumia devices (which means by custom roms)

@n73gamer: Custom ROMs and interop-unlock are completely different, although they allow some of the same kind of hack. For example, custom ROMs are available for the HTC Arrive, which has no current working interop-unlock hack. However, custom ROMs are *not* available for the Samsung Focus S or Focus Flash (gen2 phones) even though those *can* be interop-unlocked. Interop-unlock is a registry edit that allows installing homebrew apps with more privileges than normal. Custom ROMs require an unlocked bootloader, but allow changing anything at all (and are typically "full-unlocked" meaning that all apps run with maximum permissions).
As one of the people working on interop-unlock for Nokia (but not bootloader-unlock; custom ROMs aren't my area really), I can make no promises of any sort except that we're trying. Finding these hacks takes time, perseverence, and no small amount of luck.

Best ROM for my Hero?

Hi guys,
am new to this whole rooting/ROM updating thing.
Would appreciate if someone could guide me to a good ROM for my HERO (currently running stock 1.5)...its an Eastern/Central European version (i.e. has language for Czech, Hungary, Poland etc) and has no market place.
Basically the ROM I am looking for should:
Give market ability
Android 2.1
Fast to use
Give a better/more practical contacts selection option...i.e. the fastest way to select contacts (bypassing having to go through multiple screens!)
Be generally cool and not make me want to buy a new android phone for the next few month!
would also appreciate instructions (or link to) for how to update the ROM.
thanks!
Raidroid seems happiest on my hero from the handful I tried so far

do you have a link where I can get it from (including instructions)?
thanks
I installed Fresh 2.1.2 a few days ago and am loving it! Looks slick and is fast.
I think in terms of speed, any of the 2.1 roms are great when the hero is overclocked (OC).
I had been using BeHero 1.2+ before the OC patch came out and it was occasionaly sluggish but after I applied the OC patch it is perfect now. LAGLESS
what i really need are links where i can download these things from...from whatever i've found, it seems to be through rapidshare.com which doesn't work...
Latest raidroid is here: http://www.multiupload.com/C54GAT6DLJ
thanks! finally found a site from your link that lets me d/load
Glad to be of assistance, is what we're all here for after all
Whatever ROM you install, I recommend that you install SpellDial to search for your contacts (it is free).
It gives you a T9-style search of your contacts. Type in the name on its telephone keypad and the you will usually get your contact listed within 3 to 4 key presses.
SenseUI already does this.

hello again
now that I finally downloaded this, I don't know how to install it!...
I have an unbranded Hero (i.e. not locked to any network)... do I still need to root my phone first etc?
where can I get instructions on how to install the ROM?
many thanks!

yup...you need root access to install ROMs. Google Search on how to unlock your version of the HERO. Good Luck!
What he said.
Google 'how to root HTC hero'
Basically:
allow 3rd party installs, dl and copy the Rom zipfile, flash backup/loading tool and the recovery image to SD, install the tool, run it, backup, then flash the recovery bin to the phone, power off, power back on holding home and power until the green on black text recovery screen comes up, wipe all, then flash from SD and select the raidroid zip
Will take a few mins to flash and reboot, reboot will take a bit longer than usual but that's it in a nutshell.
Good luck ...
ok.. so the day started off with trying to root my hero with the 'one click' unlocker...
finally d/loaded the program, ran it but it somehow couldn't find my android phone (on Win 7)...
wasted a couple of hours on above, then tried it on a WinXP machine... found phone no problem, ran the one-click unlocker and got an error while trying to 'update' (i.e. downgrade ROM)...
so then thought I'd give the 'goldcard method' a go...
followed instructions to the letter...got as far as trying to write the image on the SD card till when I pressed save (on the hex editor) and it gave me a 'cyclic redundancy error'...
not sure what the heck that means!... don't know whether it had anything to do with me not formatting the SD card when sticking it in my PC since WinXP said it needed to be formatted....
however, the instructions didn't say anything about formatting it!... tried to re-insert it and format it but don't get the format option this time....
SD card works fine in phone...
Don't know whether its to do with brand of SD card not being compatible with the 'goldcard' method (San Disk)... read that Kingston works... can't be asked with all the hassle and going out to buy a different one etc etc...
Hoping that a new ROM is released by HTC officially, soon!

[Q] Custom cooked roms

now that weve got the hspl ability on our phones how are custom cooked roms made? I hear that this route we can have unlocked phones and posibilty the ability to regain access to interop routines, but what like the general guidelines to making these type of roms?
darkf0rce
HSPL is only the first step for cooking custom roms, better said the key to open the kitchen. Now somebody has to create the kitchen-tools...
sooner or later it will happen......just like wm6+
Andim made rom tools for wp7 that was used for custom roms on the hd2. Haven't got a chance to see if they will work for native wp7 devices. That and can we get update files for mango without connecting through Zune.
Don't know about interop services but developer unlocked roms are definate. Its just a simple regedit made to user.hv or default.hv that unlocks it.
Really looking forward to roms like xboxmods color wp7 roms I used to run on my hd2. Ive asked him how he does the icons before and they were edited dll's that could only be loaded in a custom rom. As far as live tiles go obviously other icons can be changed without custom dll's
They already have the mango update in a zip file in the hd2 forum. Maybe I'll give this a go tonight.

Sad that it is HTC only yet again. Guess I know which brand to with next time.
Our problem is XPH de-compression,
I can extract and repack the nbh rom but,
the imgfs.bin it can't repack after cooked because the cecompr_nt.dll is not support.

[Q] how to deploy xap through IE on mango unlocked?

Hey everyone,
I saw on dft custom rom the ability to deploy xaps on your phone through IE, is there way to put this on my unlocked mango beta 7712? and please forgive me I did do a search and couldn't find the answer initially, if this has been discussed please point me in the right direction thank you
use Tom XAP Installer for XAP deploy
not sure if that's the answer
i'm looking to be able to deploy xap on my phone's browser, is this possible? i saw on dft rom posting that his custom enabled that, so that you could be say on your phones browser on xda and see an xap download it straight to your unlocked phone and install it
you would have to flash the dft custom rom to your phone ... then your phone will be fullunlocked
there must be a way to enable this feature to other unlocked phones
i dont think there is considering the fact that devunlocked phones whether its official or chevron have limitations ... i wouldnt be surprised if someone found a way though it might not be easy...
i miss the "cab" days, browsing xda on my phone or other sites and just installing cabs straight to phone le sigh
I think there were 2 files which needed to be replaced to allow you to do so (and possibly an extra application once its fully unlocked) and as far as I know the only current way to replace those 2 files and fully unlock your device is by flashing it with a custom rom. So you will have to flash your device with their ROM if you want that.
I must say, its a really awesome feature!! :-D we now just need the ability to save the .xap's and other files as well as install .xap's through a file browser ^_^

Which files?
Since we can copy and replace some files on samsung/htc devices by provision xml's. The only thing im not sure of is that it will probably not be possible to replace system files.
But if you have these files Im sure there are people willing to test this
dft freedom rom is fullunlocked and comes with DFT_XAPInsatller which allows u to install apps from the wp ie by entering the xap files url...at the moment the only way to fullunlock wp is by installing the custom rom but dft mentioned they are working in a way to fullunlock wp without the need of installing custom roms.

heres some info from dft...
So we (DFT) developed “FullUnlock”. FullUnlock is implemented as replacing some system files by wrappers, which allows any kind of access (disable access checking at all)
We replace LVMOD.DLL which used to check files and data (checksums, certificates and etc) and POLICYENGINE.DLL which implements internal objects access checking.
All written before means that FullUnlock at the current moment only possible by flashing custom ROM to device. In future maybe we can find good ways to do it without flashing, but for now I don’t see any ideas how to do it without flashing.
Well there we go, also DFT/Cotulla mentioned which files in the how to native thread under phone 7 development I think it was.
Take a look at that thread

Few questions about HTC Arrive

Just got an Arrive from sprint and I havent been to keen in the windows 7 series. My last phone was HTC Touch Pro 2...
Wondering how to unlock or jailbreak on Arrive kind of confused compared to how easy it was on W 6.5 Thanks also sorry for being a noob
Also I updated it to 7.5 Mango
Hi,
I am also a former Touch Pro 2 user. The flashing is still very easy. Check out our subforums for HTC Arrive/7 Pro at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1083
Step 1: Downgrade.
Your version of the phone is too secure for flashing custom ROMs. Downgrade using one of the stock ROMs in one of these links:

Thanks also have another question...
Whats the difference between unlocks ex. Interlop and Developer
I just want to dl some free apps that i dont have to pay for thanks alot
developer unlock allows you to sideload 3 apps, interop does not have this restriction. Also, interop apps can access restricted areas of the phone (file explorer, registry, etc.)
Free apps can be downloaded from the marketplace.
There's a good explanation of the unlock types on a thread in the dev&hacking sub-orum, but the basic gist of it is as follows:
Full-unlock: All apps run with full permissions, can sideload and run anything even native EXEs and drivers. Requires a custom ROM (and therefore bootloader unlock) at this time.
Bootloader-unlock: Allows flashing custom ROMs. Has no impact on the running OS. On HTC phones, generally requires SPL downgrade via GoldCard. See HSPL and MAGLDR.
Root-unlock: Specific apps can run with full permissions. Does not currently allow native EXEs. Known methods require Interop Unlock, and usually use WP7 Root Tools. Expected by most modern homebrew libraries.
Interop-unlock: Allows sideloading all apps, and apps are allowed to access high-privilege system components (drivers, etc.) Currently requires device-specific hacks; sometimes can be done without dev-unlock first. Can be sufficient for registry and sometimes filesystem access by older homebrew libraries. Required for WP7 Root Tools.
Dev-unlock: Allows sideloading a limited number of apps. Apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES can't be loaded or run. Available officially from Microsoft (developer account or "AppHub"), or unofficially through some device-specific hacks. Used to be available from ChevronWP7.

X2 Pro - Chinese version living in the EU (regrouped Questions and Answers)

Hello Guys,
So i'm new to Oppo, but an old wolf within these corridors.
I have some questions for you crazy people who bought the Chinese DUAL sim version of the Oppo Find X2 Pro.
I went through all the threads, read them and there are some inconsistent answers. So i will post my questions (feel free to ask me to add more) and will update the orginal post with the answers you will give me - so this helps new comers.
1. Does Google Playstore work?
-Confirmed working
2. Does Google Pay work?
-Confirmed working
3. Does Google assistant work?
-Apparently yes, but the "Hey Google" voice detection apparently is grayed out and doesn't work (Need more confirmation on this also)
- Works with issues or extra application
4. Do Gsuite applications work?
-Normally they should as Oppo is not blacklisted like Huawei and runs GMS. But could someone confirm please.
5. Do third party launchers work (without ADBing "pm" the orignal launcher) ?
- NEED CONFIRMATION - but apparently not
- Confirmed not working
6. Does 5G / 4G work?
Apparently a forum member living in Italy says it works fine, but found that some 5G bands are not present in the Chinese version. Please reply yes or no and on which carrier you are and which country.
- NEED MORE CONFIRMATIONS
7. Does WifiCalling and / or VoLTE work? And if they do /don't please write down your carrier/country
-NEED CONFIRMATION
8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
-Still waiting to see if that is possible. Waiting to get confirmation from people who tried / succeeded / failed please
- Waiting on results
9. Can you unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
-Only answers i could find were : yes and no, bootloader not yet unlockable, TWRP working... very confusing.
9. Apparently you can't use an app like Textra or other to replace the Stock SMS app (who uses SMS anyhow, right? but still an interesting point).
-Anyone?
10. Looking for tutorials on how to use MEMStool, QPST, etc... anyone know of any so i can link them here? Coming from Samsung, Oneplus, etc could be handy
- Anyone?
11- Autostart of more than 5 untrusted applications? asked by @yarik88
Has anyone won this limitation? This is very important, as it affects notifications from third-party applications. And without autorun, calls are not accepted in some messengers that are not indicated by Oppo as trusted.
You can give permission to the application to autostart related applications, therefore, perhaps there is a program (something like an autostart manager) giving it the right to autostart, it will already launch the application that you specify in it. But so far I have not found one and these are my assumptions
12. Anything else?
Thanks for your feedback and help.
I can come back to you on the other questions for but for now I bought mine from Wonda. Google Play was pre installed and works fine (I had a P40 Pro before so I know about Play Store not working fully!)
Google Pay works without issue. The app is stable and have used all my cards to pay using NFC.
Google assistant works once when you set it up, then it takes itself out of settings. I use the Google Voice Search app instead (I only use mine to set timers etc). All my other Google apps work fine, maps gmail etc.
4G works fine, I have the option for 5G in the menu but don't have a 5G sim to test. No option in the menu for VoLTE/WIFI calling it seems.
Flashing Global ROM needs more testers
8. Can you force install the Global ROM onto the Chinese Phone (important point here)?
All attempts to flash the Global (CPH) software on a Chinese (PDEM) phone were unsuccessful so far, however, it seems that all these people (claiming a failure while flashing) are members of the Beta program.
My friend with an Oneplus phone reports the same behaviour (the phone just won't let you flash an older firmware), furthermore, one Beta user here reported that now he can not even flash the original PDEM software while getting the same error message (The installed version is lower than current).
tl;dr
So there is a solid chance that all of this has nothing to do with Global/Chinese ROM, we just need users who AREN'T in the Beta program to test the ROM.

I think the same with all Chinese rom phones, there isn't an option to set another launcher. Yes you can download them and they appear but once you close an app it reverts back to stock. Just tried and no it doesn't set as home launcher (Lawnchair 2 anyway).
SO only way is to adb and uninstall the orginal launcher...thanks for confirming.

Blazingly fast phone, with almost unlimited RAM... and they limit autostart to 5.
Bizarre (theres that buzzword again!)
I don't get this thing of autostart... Are you telling me that this phone with 12gb of ram...limits 5 applications? Meaning if you have mail, WhatsApp, telegram, calendar , or other apps you need notifications for you are limited to 5 apps max??!!?
Please elaborate...I'm having a hard time believing this. Seems worst than Huawei's app killer...

ItsIt's very similar to this.
This is Oppo's worst idea. I don't understand how they think in China, forbidding the user to use his phone. Just the thought that there are so many ad notifications from apps to take this step.
You have the "Manage autorun" setting in it on top of the list of trusted applications from installed (I have Instagramm, Skype, Telegramm, Whatsapp, Vk, Facebook) I think there are more, but here OPPO decides which applications to consider trusted.
Apps from this list do not affect the 5 apps limit.
And below is a list of all the other apps installed on your phone. And you can select Only 5 applications that have been autorun.
Notifications from applications that don't have autorun permission come in very badly, usually only when you start the application itself. But sometimes they break through, too, but not always.
For example, a SIGNAL messenger without autorun does not receive call notifications and becomes useless, you can get within an hour notifications that you missed a call.

Now that's devastating to hear. Considering previously mentioned cases it should have allowed you to flash it... I'm speechless and saddened.
May I at least, out of pure misery, ask you which tool did you use to flash the ROM?

I tried via recovery the last time using the official EU rom version from oppo's site... I will try these when I get home after work. I believe MSM tool might be the correct route to use from other posts in different threads. :good:

Thank you for your hard work! You deserve some sort of donation at this point.
To save your time, avoid the latest (4th) method (QPST) - files the application requires for flashing are not located in the Oppo's Global ROM.

I believe QFIL won't work either since we only have .ozip to work with..... I will try though. Now if only there was more time in the day to get this done... Of course this couldn't have been something when I had them Corona Days Off.... hahahaha

I guess a lot of people are waiting on you :laugh::fingers-crossed:
Great job for the community. fingers, toes , everything crossed to see if it works.
BUT i still beleive that there is a way to hack the dual sim for single sim international phones, which in a way would be much better.
