Hello XDA-Community!
Unfortunately I updated my Samsung Omnia 7 without deploying the "relockPrevent.xap" file (I didn't think the update would relock my Phone). Is there another possibility to unlock my Samsung? I liked Windowbreak a lot since it was so easy, but it won't work anymore. What can I do to get back to my previous OS-Version (Mango?) ? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance! =)
Greetings,
Crash1k
Still nothing new on this? =(

You probably got the dreaded Samsung update.
Can you please post your Phone/PDA (by typing *#1234# in Diagnosis)
Thanks a lot for your answer!
PDA: I8700XXKK2
Phone: I8700XXKI1
CSC: I8700DREKI2
KK2 is the Samsung firmware (called "PDA" here) update version that blocks WindowBreak and similar hacks.
To roll back to your pre-Tango state, when presumably your phone was already interop-unlocked, just connect your phone to Zune on the PC, then (in Zune) go to Settings -> Phone -> Update. You should see a button to restore the backup that was taken when you intalled the update.
Thanks a lot for your helpful answer!
If I do that, will my Apps etc. be deleted?
Your phone is restored to exactly the point it was at when the backup was created, except for your music/videos/photos - those sync with Zune anyway, so they aren't included in the backups. Apps and other contant that you have since purchased are still available, though; just re-download them from the marketplace (you won't be charged again).

Hi,
I'm trying to maintain a jailbroken phone through the Mango update via the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152422
My only trouble, is that I haven't been able to update my Diagnosis app.
It's on 0.922, which will not allow the xml files to be found.
I have tried uninstalling and then hitting "##634#" but each time, it only brings back the same 0.922 app.
I am also unable to find it in the marketplace.
I am currently running OS 7.0.7392 - and Zune tells me there are no further updates (not sure what 7932 is?).
Can anyone help?
Cheers.
I'm having the same problem. I was on 7390 with 0.922 and couldn't update it, so just updated to 7392 and it's still on 0.922 (have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with no luck either).
There are a few other solutions I've yet to have tried, but it's not looking likely so far...
Note: In regards of this "If your phone is updated to 7392 with the OEM registry information (ATT-US) deleted, the Diagnosis won't be updated." - I think I had deleted the registry while on 7390 (I'm with 3, not AT&T), but I'm not sure how to re-add it. Re-flashing maybe? Though it'll be a pain adding everything back.
How would you have deleted the registry?
I'm from Australia, so my phone was bough on Optus, but is now unlocked on 3.
I can't remember exactly but it's something to do with the SamsungRegistry tool I used when first unlocking my phone. I vaguely remember reading a STRING value and then overwriting it as a blank value.
I was following a guide very closely but now I can't remember what it was for so I can't find it to undo it.

I remembered it seems like HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator, maybe you can have a try.
it is heard that if the WP7 updated to mango, the Diagnosis will be upgraded too. I don't know whether it is true. Or you can flash another ROM, such as DTMJJ6, I'm using it and it works well.
hello
i have the same problem , cant update the diagnosis. i tried everithing , but nothing works.
i installed the 7720 mango rtm , and there is no update for diagnosis so far )
i think the only way is flashing another rom.
the DTMJJ6 will update the diagnosis ? is this an branded rom ? 7004 ?
Edit : DTMJJ6 is not an public rom.(samfirmware) what about the november rom?
EDIT2 ": the november rom contains the 1027 versin of diagnosis app .. it works.. its unbranded too..
thanks for all

That sounds great! Do you think you'd be able to give a link to where you got the November rom from? And if you can a tutorial on how to flash it. Those two would be very much appreciated as I can't seem to find them (or don't know what to search for)
Edit: Found it, thanks very much! Hopefully I'll now be able to update to Mango without losing my unlock.
Hello,
Want to know if there is a problem to update my Samung Focus unlocked (not the one with token) from 7740 to 8107 without losing my unlock?
I'm having a backup, but it's a long process if I have to restore it and I always scared to do it.
Thanks

You have a backup, thats good (make sure it shows up in Zune)
What I recommend to do is go to "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update"
And copy the file that's called something like "f3874e8d - c6f37f88 - c1504a27 - f0452346" to another location (external HDD or so) just in case the update deletes the backup you have (has been reported in some threads, but shouldnt happen)
---
Secondly if you update from 7740 -> 8107 nothing should change in terms of Unlock & Interop Unlock so you should be safe to just update it through the Zune program. A good mate of mine uses a Samsung and updated earlier this week tp 8107, and its still (interop) unlocked so..
IF however the phone gets locked (which I highly doubt will happen) you can just restore the backup you have and nothing bad will happen while restoring IF you leave your phone plugged in (I did the mistake of unplugging it during a restore... worst mistake ever! )
---
That said you should be safe, just plug it in and update to 8107.
If the device happens to get locked, just Restore, you have 2 (the same) backup files anyway so you're safe
Good luck!
[edit] the only device (so far) that is affected aka locking the device again is the Samsung Omnia 7, that is NOT cause of the 8107 itself but cause of the KK2, from Samsung, update paired with the 8107.
IF your device gets locked and you think its cause of that, and you have restored it through Zune, AND you still want 8107, read this. Scroll down to Samsung section and read how to do it (its in red)
Wow, thanks! I'll do it maybe tomorrow, let you know
Anytime,
take yours the thread aint going anywhere.
Hope it works!
Hello folks,
I know there are a lot of threads going around that cater to this topic but I had just one little question. I have an Omnia 7 (8107, updated via zune) which is developer unlocked (no interop).
Is there any way, or will there be any way via which I can put custom accent colors on my phone?
I loved doing that using advanced config but I flashed my rom & all the changes I made were lost.
Also I loved having the 3g/2g toggle button, but ever since I flashed the new rom & updated it is no longer there. Is there anyway by which I can get back the toggle?
Thanks!
Why didn't you interop-unlock again? You can still use Advanced Config or similar apps if you do...
Use WindowBreak or any of the Interop-Unlock apps. If your firmware is incompatible, roll back first using Zune (it should be the last update, so easy to restore).
Hi, Thanks for replying. I don't want to roll back because I am unable to! I have a backup restore but my phone never restores to that point (gives me a weird error, I don't remember the code right now, my phone reboots twice and the restore fails giving me an error code. I did some digging around but didn't find anything useful)
It's the same story with ALL the restores that I have, I cannot roll back to any of those. Does windowbreak work on 8107?
Thanks for replying!
I said firmware, not OS (7.10.8107 is an OS build version). 8107 doesn't matter one way or the other, but some phones get a firmware update (Samsung's KK2 update) that disables hacks like WindowBreak and the other Interop Unlock tools.
Oh okay
my specs are :
PDA : i8700xxkk2
phone : i8700xxki1
csc : i8700xenjk1
So I guess, I have the kk2 which won't let me run windowbreak or any other tools. Am I right?

japmeet, unfortunatly kk2 was just to break the project, nothing more.
I have an Omnia 7 and i can give you two advices about what i did:
A)First, i have downgrade to 7.0.7004.0 and run windowbreak or chevronwp7 and then u can update,i suggest manually to 8107 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
B) I also tried after downgrade to 7.0.7004.0, done a clean reset and tried the custom already unlocked roms:
mi7ROM from mirolg: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499102
xda-devs from ceesheim: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1533229
Maybe you can try it!
Thanks for replying but doing so will result in a loss of my text messages which I don't want to go through again. I think I'll wait until the devs come up with something that can break the kk2's defences. Thanks!
Hello,
I have a Samsung Omnia W interop unlocked before getting the latest update from zune.
I am trying to get internet sharing through this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334248
but when I type the *#0998# code in the diagnosis app, no list comes, so I cannot proceed further with the guide.
Here are my phone software versions:
SO: 7.10.8107.79
firmware: 2424.11.12.5
hardware: 23.15.0.8
software radio: 2424.11.12.1
hardware radio: 0.0.0.800
bootloader: 5.12.29.0
processore SOC: 0.74.2.1
Can anyone help me getting ICS on my phone ?
Thanks a lot.
ICS?????
what's that mean
ICS: Internet Connection Sharing. It's OK though, there's absolutley no possible way you could have figured that out from the link in the OP, and nobody has ever used that acronym for the feature before... </sarcasm>
It sounds like you either updated your firmware or your DIAG app since you interop-unlocked the phone. If it was a firmware update, you'll need to roll back or you'll need to wait until somebody writes a tool that allows you to process the provxml file using Root Unlock (I assume you have WP7 Root Tools). If you updated the app itself (via Marketplace), uninstall it and then re-install it using the phone dialer.

Thanks a lot for the uninstalling Diagnosis tip!
I did i and now I can see again the list of things, also windowbreak is there.
So, I will try the guide from scratch this evening at home and let you know.
Thanks a lot for taking time to help me, its really appreciated.

Hello,
I tried but the "System tweaks" does not show up in the list, so I am unable to go ahead...
Any clues ?
You probably installed a Samsung firmware update (see the other item in my list of reasons why it wouldn't work). If your firmware version is KK2 or newer, you won't be able to use those hacks. Roll the phone back if you want to use it.
Alternatively, these are just provxml files. WP7 Root Tools won't currently process them for you directly, but it's pretty easy to write an app that will do so for you if it has WP7 Root Tool "trusted" elevation via policy.
Thanks,
atm I think that I will try to look inside the provxml files which enables ICS and try to manually edit my phone registry to see if it works. It seems to me the most reasonabe way, also because all those provxml are built for Omnia 7 while I own an Omnia W.
Any one got tango update on their samsung omnia w or focus flash?or on any other samsung windows phone?

did you successfully updated it? Im having problem with my zune, coz it says, "cannot check updates at this time". they might be preparing an update. but... still not sure if i will still keep my phone. Maybe i will sell it later.
Use the cab sender method. It worked great for me.
So I used the disconnect internet trick and got Tango to install on my phone. Problem is, it stopped with the 3 updates and did not install (or find) the Samsung one that I know was supposed to be installed (for firmware), so my firmware is now 2103.11.10.1 instead of what it is supposed to be.
Does anyone know a way to force the OEM firmware to be sent to Zune. The internet disconnect trick isn't work now, so I'm stuck. Also, my backups aren't showing up, even though during the update process it said it was creating a backup (for all the OS updates it installed all the way up to 8773).
If there is no way to get the OEM firmware to be pushed, does anyone know how to get the Focus Flash to stock? I know I have a backup on my computer, but Zune isn't recognizing it (I had forced 8107 on my phone, and Zune made a backup of that ROM).

Top tip!
Hi,
Just reset your phone, format it and then go on with setting up your windows live id. Once fully synchronised, then switch over to zune and go to settings and press forget this phone, after which just connect your phone and you'll get all the updates steady!
Worked well for my Omnia W here at Dubai.

Just Get the TANGO Update....... (Samsung omnia w{DEV UNLC})
There is no reason to update Omnia W, ver 8107 already have all the things, at least unbranded versions.
Next step for Omnia W is 7.8
