[Q] Reading Backup Data

Is there a way to read the WP7 backup data files on my PC?

They're encrypted, apparently with a device-specific key, so not as far as anybody has found.
By the way, this is a question better suited for the Q&A sub-forum.

Zune don't see my Pre Mango State any suggestion?

As in, you connect the phone and the software doesn't see it? What phone is it, what build is it on, have you made any modifications to it (custom ROMs or registry edits or anything), and is it in Tethering mode? Those are the usual culprits.

I have a Htc Trophy alias Spark updated to Mango,and I would like to go back to Nodo for downgrade Spl and install DFT...I never did any edit or installed custom Rom.

Sorry emaf83, you're still going to need to be more specific about the problem. Are you saying the phone is currently on Mango and Zune can't find your restore point to roll it back? Are you saying you flashed a Release NoDo ROM and now Zune doesn't see the phone anymore? Are you saying you rolled back to pre-Mango using Zune and now Zune doesn't see the phone anymore? Are you saying something else entirely?
Please explain what you are expecting to find but aren't finding, or what you're looking for. Also, please describe the current state of the phone (OS version, does it run normally, etc.)
If you're looking to downgrade the bootloader, one possibility is to find an official (RELEASE) ROM and flash that. This can be done on the original bootloader. I've been able to do this with 4.x SPL to downgrade it to something that works with RSPL/HSPL. Reports of whether that downgrade method works with 5.x range from "I think so" to "No" to "this may damage your phone" though, so be careful.

Pre Mango State is back up I did to install the beta of Mango whitout being developers...
The guide said to copy the folder to back up that was in the path C:\PreMangoState\, and place it in the folder C: \ Users \ username \ AppData \ Local \ Microsoft \ Windows Phone Update \. I did everything but Zune does not recognize the restore point. The phone has no problems with Mango runs well here are the specs:

I cannot flash it whith an official Rom because the firmware of my Austrian operator A1 (CV 177) not found! I can also do the unbrand,but using the method of the Gold Card, you also need an Android phone that I don't have. Sorry for my bad English Anyway, thank you for your interest.

Well, if you're going to use HSPL and flash a custom ROM anyhow, it doesn't really matter if the ROM you flash matches your carrier. You just need any official ROM that is old enough that it will have an SPL (bootloader) of version 3.1 or less. The ROM *does* need to match the phone, but doesn't have to match the operator.
If your backup is in the Windows Phone Update folder but Zune isn't seeing it (it should show up in Settings -> Phone -> Update -> Restore button near the bottom), then this approach may be the best.

I understand,but I don't have a SPL 3.1 or less...my SPL is 4.6.2250.0...and then I have to do the downgrade. But when I go to flash the ROM crashes and gives me " Invalid Id Error " and the phone restarts...because it don't corresponds to my operator.

[Q] Windows Phone Mango Jailbreak

Hi,
i updated my htc 7 pro to mango a few months ago. Now i wanna install some apps, that i downloaded. To be able to install those, an open phone is need.
Can you tell me, how i can jailbreak it, without downgrading back to nodo or windows phone 7, because i haven't a backup?

You have to do downgrade SPL and install HSPL and customROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19873059

when i've done this, i'm back at windows phone 7.0, is that correct?

Yes, but only on one moment because when you installed HSPL and customROM you have OS Version which has ROM (eg. 8107).

is there any other possibility that doesn't need flashing the rom, because i want to minimalize the risk to crash my phone?

[Q] Interop-Unlock Lumia 800 using student's developer account possible?

Hi guys, first of all I don't know if you need a General presentation of me... anyway... I have that good toy mentioned in the title and I'm looking for a way to interop-unlock it... I've studied for a week (I'm a computer programmer and I spend much of day on the computer so it's usual for me... ) and I would like to know if after the download of Network _Setup v.1.0.0.0.xap I can reset the phone firmware to the first (the one that was on the phone when I bought it, with no upgrades...) and try to fully unlock it (I have already unlock it with the student's developer account, app hub and so on... but it's not enough for me... ) with the Heathcliff interop-unlocker.xap... Is this possible?
Here's my device information:
Nokia Lumia 800
Vodafone SW variant ID212 v.01
Windows Phone 7.5 Mango
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware Revision Number: 1600.2487.8107.12070
Hardware Revision Number: 112.1402.2.3
Bootloader version: 7.35.0.0
SOC Processor Version: 0.74.2.1

I used the Nokia_Interop_Unlock_by_Heathcliff74.xap but no results, now I can't install more .xap, I have the error Error - 0x81030120

I tried too... Same results, but I think it should be due to the updates of OS... Windows, as I read, made an update to fix a bug that allowed app to entry or modify register keys... but... If you don't have the updates (virgin OS, the first) you should be able to do that... Am I wrong guys of xda?
So probably if you reflash the first OS that was in the device, and retry the heathcliff hacking after got a "Network Setup" not upgraded (v. 1.0.0.0 ???) version and deployed it in the phone using the Application deployer...
I think I will try this way soon... If anybody as any suggestions.......

Hi,
Unfortunately not possible (yet). No-one managed to do this on a NOKIA so far. I'm trying, but the NOKIA's are well-protected.
I hope to find an unlock asap, but there is really no way to tell if or when I will succeed.
Ciao,
Heathcliff74

You must now, that when it comes to mobile ROMs, flashing, custom OSs and stuff, I am an utter noob. As you may see, I have a custom ROM installed. It was made by the Dark Forces Team (DFT). Now, why have I installed it, even though I have no knowledge about it? Well, here's the deal:
I am Polish. I bought the phone before they sold them in my country (we're backward ), and so it was German. Polish language was finally added in ver. 7.5 Mango, but to enable it, you had to have a Polish phone. However, thanks to the DFT I could use a Polish ROM and have it in my language on the new version. Now, the 7.8 comes out and I want to restore my mobile to the OFFICIAL system, installed from Zune. It can't be done, if your ROM is custom (or at least with the one I have). And here's my question: How the hell do I restore the official OS BACK to my mobile phone? I looked for it around the forum, but you guys only seem to be doing it the other way. I also want to keep the language. I'm sure it is possible. Thanks in advance.

Anyone? If there really is no way, at least please recommend me a good custom OS with 7.8 and Polish

Just bumpng, I SERIOUSLY need the answer. Been looking for it, found nothing.

[QUESTION]: HTC 7 Pro T7576 - 7.10.8107.79 - Unlockable?

I recently purchased a new HTC 7 Pro T7576 and am looking to unlock it to install the root tools.
I have spent several days trying to read up about unlocking prior to posting in this thread, but have not had much luck.
Based on my research, I understand that there exist several different type of unlocks. For the work I'd like to do with this device, I require that root tools are installed and understand that the INTEROP unlock would suffice for this as the tools are not native tools.
I have followed most of the instruction online with out much luck for setting up the device yet. The details of the device are:
Name: HTC 7 Pro T7576
Software: Windows Phone 7.5
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware rev number: 2250.21.51202.111
Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Boot loader version: 2.2.5.0
The steps I've taken thus far are to take a backup of the device using zune, download the HTC_Interop_Unlock.xap and tried to install it using XAPDeployX-v0.9.
The error message I get back is:
Deployment FAILED with the following ERROR:
Failed to connect to device as it is developer locked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284.
Is there any luck for this device?
Thanks!

Based on some additional reading... I would require to flash the boot loader and put a custom rom.
Can anyone confirm?

After several days of research, it appears that the Interop method does not work any more.
Additionally, can someone provide some direction? I'm looking to flash but the instructions aren't clear and I don't want to brick my device.
Thanks.

Any tips from anyone? I'm trying not to avoid bricking my device.
ANy help would be greatly appreciated.

My journey for unlocking this device is still moving forward.
From additional reading, it looks like my SPL is 5.2.2.5.0 which means I must downgrade it...
The only way I see so far is with a gold card.
Given I have an OTG cable? Can I use this cable? to somehow download the bootloader?

Hi,
use this Method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456200

This will work on my boot loader? Even with an SPL with 5.1.2.2250.0?

To close the loop, I used a goldcard image with the RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a_22.36.50.15U_by_ansar.zip to create the GOLDIMG.nbh to downgrade the firmware.
Was a bit finicky, but eventually it took the update.
Next to install a custom rom...

Update: Trying to install RSPL and HSPL, but no luck
Does the DFT tool work on these devices? I've tried to go through the 126 page DFT thread (below) but no really confirmation
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
If anyone can help this would be great!

Moving right along... Got the HSPL flashed. Had to use another PC.
The original PC I used was a VMWARE workstation with Windows XP, which did not detect the device.
Used a physical Win7 Laptop, everything worked just fine.
Now onto a custom firmware....

Hmm, tried to flash Dynamics v2.0, but it needs a special radio version.
I got the radio, but not sure how to flash it, can someone help explain how to do this with RUU?
Thanks.

Hi dustbyter
are you still interested in this topic? I just did the same on my HTC 7 Pro T7576

Hello,
I have been given a HTC 7 Pro T7576, Windows Phone 7.8, OS version: 7.10.8858.136, firmware rev. no. 2250.21.51101.401, hardware rev. no. 0002, radio software version 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U, radio hardware version A.102.0.D4, Bootloader version 5.11.2250.0, chip SOC version 2.2.5.0
I love everything but the OS of this phone.
I am a total newbie at mobile OS but have 10 years experience with Slackware linux.
Please help me out with detailed instructions to replace Windows Phone with Android on HTC 7 Pro.
Thank you!

I second this. Windows Phone 7 is a dead-end street. Therefore, nobody even cooks ROMs for these phones any more (the newest ones I could find are from 2013).
That's pretty bad since otherwise, the HTC 7 Pro is a good phone - I love its keyboard as my fingers do not seem to be compatible to touch screens
It was possible to port Android to legacy devices like the HTC HD2. Wouldn't it be possible to do that for the HTC 7 Pro, too? That would be, I think, the greatest thing since sliced bread
Kind regards,
