PROVXML question in OEM Folder Cooking!!!

Ok, I am going absolutely crazy here...I am no noob to cooking but I am having a horrible time for some reason. First let me set up the ROM for you...
I am running CE OS 707 WWE ported with Build 19965 (Raphael) and it is working fine. I have always made a provxml file to make my necessary registry changes instead of going through all the rgu's.
I have named this provxml file mxipupdate_oemoperators_108.provxml which I have attached for reference... This file is placed into the OperatorPKG folder and should, I say should run along with the other mxiupdate files...
Please look at this file and please explain why it is not happening. THe only thing I am thinking is that the ported SYS folder is causing some errors???
THanks in advance.
The file was made using rgutoXML in Unicode with wordwrap turned off
I have also tried running the file, converted to a xml file in my user customizations when it starts but still a no go...

Check youre sys if you got coldinit.lnk/coldinit.exe present.

My config_operator.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
XML: \WINDOWS\mxipupdate_dialer_runback.provxml
TSK: \WINDOWS\IBI.tsk
XML: \WINDOWS\Menu_Operation.xml
CAB: \WINDOWS\PP_AKv33-DefaultPage_WWE-0409.CAB
XML: \WINDOWS\xml_reg.provxml
CAB: \WINDOWS\Raiisak`s IBI visual.cab
CFG: \Windows\config_PT.txt
config_operator.txt & xml.reg.provxml in C:\kaiserkitchen\OEM\OperatorPKG
xml.reg.provxml is where I have some of my reg stuff.

Yeah both those files are present in the SYS\Shell folder...
See whats confusing me about the whole thing is that the other ProvXML files in the OperatorPKG are working???? So I am assuming it might be something to do with the file.???

Wel, I poped it open to see if you had "Registry" present twice wich would make a error but it seemed good to me so its something that makes it not run. Try to set it up like I did above and give it a spin. Letme know if it worked.

Well that was a NO go so I am going to see if it has too do with the SYS files.... possible causing the error , I am not too sure...Very dumbfounded right now

Just for additional info.
To make *.provxml to be loaded on cold-boot, the said file must exist is any *.dsm.
Hope this help
And please check ur file, there were some errors in it & will be bypassed during cold-boot
Here some hints:
-check ur header
-remove semicolon or use html code
-check ur HKLM & "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"

Ah, yes. Didnt think of that.... Yet look for it ..

Ok I'm dying over here...what is the error please???? And by placing the *.provxml file into the OperatorPKG file isn't a DSM file attached to it???
I made sure any settings were not duplicated on a newer version...and by the way I tried to change the Coldinit files back to the original but no go either...I am trying a different SYS now

i think u missed my previous edited post

What do you mean by "Check my header"....
It says version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" I know.... do you mean I have to change the source file (text file) to unicode to get rid of this???
Basically if I open the file, click on View Source it opens in a notepad format...Should I save the file as *.provxml in Unicode??? because when I look at all the files that ATT puts out, once I change these files it makes them have the same header....
I also looked at raiisak xml.reg.provxml file and it too has the same header???

Ok I have attached my newest version of the Provxml...the header is gone as I changed the file type to Unicode and saved....
Also I have removed all the different HKLM files to the same and got rid of the ";" but it appears it is still not working???
I have the file named mxipupdate_oemoperators_108.provxml and it is set to run in the OperatorPKG file which has all the files the same up to 107....

For one time I prolly didnt use XML Notepad And I saw in EditPad

so can someone please help me here....I am just asking what I am doing wrong...I have search the file, looked a hundreds of provxml files and still can not understand why this is not working???

ryn, for me, the header is not mandatory, it is ok, but will give error if u use some xml compiler.
here my attached edited file & u can compare with yours.
Hope this helps

This is what hang tried to explain.

I already changed the HKLM and the ";" problems...the translation=filesystem I did not change.....what would it be changed too???

have u compared ur with mine mate
and please test it can work or not | sorry i cant test it

I have compared yours with mine...
I am seeing you took out the translation section which I had done before...I am going to try and load yours in a rom...just trying to find a program that I can use instead of burning the rom completely over..

i dont think having translation section is problem. i'm also using a provxml that i created for myself, it has the provxml section in it and it does work properly. what i suspect is integer" value="0.0 sec". if it is integer, shouldn't it be integer" value="0" ?

[Q] How do you re-brand to T-Mobile USA?

I tried the de-branding hack (MobileOperator = "000-88"), but I was only able to update to 7008. Since T-Mobile USA is going to start pushing updates, I want to "rebrand" my phone back to what it was. Does anybody know what the MobileOperator string is for T-Mobile USA?

The string is TMO-US

Thanks! I'll give it a whirl.

is there any reason to want to rebrand the device? does anything stops from working after unbranding? thx

I also want to rebrand my HD7 but the registry editors ive used dont show it. How can I change it back to TMO-US?

You'll need to run this XAP called HTC-ProvXml-Deploy.
This XAP will load a self-contained CustClear.provxml file into the registry. You'll just need to create your own CustClear.provxml file and overwrite the one that's already in the XAP.
You'll need to create a .reg file with the following contents:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo]
"MobileOperator"="TMO-US"
Then run rgu-2-xml to convert it to an XML file.
The XML file should look like this:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<!-- *** COMMENTO *** -->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo">
<parm name="MobileOperator" value="TMO-US" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
Rename the file generated by rgu-2-xml to "CustClear.provxml" (without quotes obviously). BTW, you can just take the XML above paste it into NotePad and save it as "CustClear.provxml" if you want to skip the rgu-2-xml conversion.
Next you'll need to open up "HTC-ProvXML-Deployn.n.n.xap" as an archive file. You can either change the extension to "zip" and open it up in Windows (you'll need to change the extension back to "xap" later, obviously), or you can use 7-Zip. If you have 7-Zip, right-click on the xap file and select "Open archive".
Drag your new CustClear.provxml file into the archive and overwrite the file already contained therein. Double check that the file was overwritten by dragging the file from the archive to another folder (e.g. your desktop) and open it up in NotePad to inspect.
Next change the extension of the zip file back to xap if you have to, and then deploy the xap to your device. Run the app, and you should have a rebranded HD7.
Unfortunately, I don't think there's anyway to tell if the changes stuck.

Thank you. This was very easy to follow and I was able to follow your instructions and deploy the registry settings!

I already customized myself a provxml to rebrand my HD7 back to TMO-US. Attached it for download. Just deploy to your device and hit the green button to provision.
Note that this is specifically to rebrand back to TMO-US.

Hi,
Slight highjacking, but I also rebranded mine to 000-88, and want to change back. I was too stupid to write my old registry down.
I have an Samsung Omnia with 3 for Sweden. Could any swedish guy check that out?

I'd like to ask the same question for my O2 Germany HD7.
I know, one probably just has to change TMO-US into something like O2-DE or else, but I don't want to mess around with these reg files so I rather ask.
O2 Germany pushed the update yesterday and since my general reception got worse after forced NoDo I want to try it with the official one.
So it'd be nice if anyone could tell, what providerIDs one has to use for certain countrys/providers.
Big thanks in advance!

Hi all!
Does anyone know what is the entry - instead of "TMO-US" - for debranded devices in the registry?
I would like to rebrand my mozart for an update and after the installation I would like to redebrand my device ... to be free again ... ;-)
Thanks in advance!!

.cab-file to use for Jailbreak

Hello
These are just my assumptions.. and I'll edit this post with everything I found out. If you find wrong information, please correct and help me solving this "problem". I'd be relly glad if someone could clarify this whole thing:
If you're updating your phone to Mango (maybe all other updates too), there'll be a .cab file which provisions your registry with some new entries that are needed for Zune to recognize your phone as a developers device and show up the update message. This .cab file (which is basically comparable with a little update) can edit entries in the phones registry without having a developer unlock. A good example is this method to get the Mango update: @windowsphonehacker.com. Even with the value "DeveloperUnlockState" set to 0 you can use this tool to update to Mango.
In our example the "prov.cab" which is part of the tool "says" the phone to change/create the following registry entries:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceUpdate\Agent\Protocol]
"TestTarget"="15c00000-0003-0001-c0d4-m4a1f005ba11"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceUpdate\Agent\Settings]
"GuidOfCategoryToScan"="0fdd4743-cba1-4a2b-af7c-5af9fd93951a"
With this two keys changed and your phone plugged to your PC you'll be able to get the update.
Now.. if we could edit this .cab file so that it tells the phone something like this...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LVMod]
"DeveloperUnlockState"=dword:1
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
"MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff
...we should be able to jailbreak any version of WP7
What I figured out is that you can easily unzip the .cab file. You'll get a .pkg file which is also an archive. After extracting this one there are three more files:
61784efe-031a-4673-b7a0-16d3f78efc2e.dsm
61784EFE-031A-4673-B7A0-16D3F78EFC2E.rgu
mxipupdate_DeviceUpdateSelfhost_200.provxml
Okay, in short:

Another thing I noticed was that some of those files where digitally signed with a certificate (e.g. right click the prov.cab and you'll see a tab showing the certificate). After modifying any of these files they loose their signature and you can't "update" them via the UpdateWP.exe - it throws out an error. I searched for quite a long time on how to resign the modified files.. I came over a tool named "signcode.exe" - it seems to be able to sign files (.exe, .dll, .cab). I was able to sign the original prov.cab but not my modified one. But after replacing Microsofts signature of the original prov.cab file with mine (<- found a .cer + .pvk) in the internet, I wasn't able to get the prov.cab "updated" to my phone.
Maybe this is way to complicated and there's a much easier solution.. but any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance,

I can't clarify it for you but .pkg file (from .cab) contains 3 files inside:
Code:
61784efe-031a-4673-b7a0-16d3f78efc2e.dsm
61784EFE-031A-4673-B7A0-16D3F78EFC2E.rgu
mxipupdate_DeviceUpdateSelfhost_200.provxml
(also see attached archive)

File mxipupdate_DeviceUpdateSelfhost_200.provxml looks very promising Unfortunately I don't have unupdated handset now to try...

Application for testing
I'm in the middle of reflash so if you want me to test please provide instructions in PM. Where should I put the CAB file and how should I "force" an update, etc.
Note: Isn't the DSM file contains a signature that tells Zune if the update is valid or modified/hacked?
Very promising and hard at willing to test this.

Later, when our files are changed we just have to install the "Windows Phone Support Tools". Then the file "UpdateWP.exe" is in the directory. This one has to be started with the parameters "/iu /enablebackup ~MODiFiED-FiLE.cab~"

I'm afraid, it is the case And it make things impossible, unfortunately, not a "more difficult"...

Yep A few minutes ago I played around a bit with the files: I extracted both the prov.cab and the DeviceProvisioning.cab.pkg and zipped them again: Although I didn't use compression to zip the files back again to get one prov.cab the size of the original and the "extracted and rezipped" file don't match The new one is much smaller. I right clicked the original and found out, that it's signed with a certificate. The new file wasn't.. it lost the signature. And I guess even the files inside the archive are signed with certificates =/ I'm pretty sure it works.. but we have to find out how to modify the files, how to resign them and how to pack them together to one .cab file =/ Long story short: We'd need a genius :S

He-he... If u'll find an easy way to crack MS certificates/signatures, u'll be a rich man (or in most wanted criminals list on FBI website )

Sounds strange but I already found some certificates "from Microsoft". When I open them on my Windows PC it says for example: Microsoft Windows Mobile Firmware CA. But I think the whole story is way to complicated for me. I never had anything to do with certificates, .dsm files/.cab files, ... I just had this random idea =/ Well, modifying the .cab file or.. a second method maybe would be to edit the UpdateWP.exe so that it even transfers unsigned .cab files.. but this would require good skills in reverse engineering, ...

I'm afraid, you need to modify not an UpdateWP.exe but WP7 firmware code what is really responsible for changes in file system/registry. I believe that part is checking downloaded data integrity (based on .cab signature).

I haven't got any information about the firmware checking changes of the registry or file system
Okay, at the end I can say that I'll be never able to do this =/
It's hard to believe that WP7 is still as good as unjailbroken I hope that time will bring some new ways to jailbreak our phones.. I'd really love to flash some new ROMS (with new amazing improvements, but NoDo installed ) and then be able to jailbreak them Hope this will work one day..
experience7

all the pkg (cab) files are signed by M$, u can't and propoblely never be able to make a cer accepted by the phone. the validation part is from the phone not the updatewp.exe

[Q] Extracting source from APK

Hi, I am trying to get the source code of the ToggleWidgets.apk that cames with my Motorola Defy+. I already read many things (since I am new user, I am not able to post outside links) but I was not succesful on doing it. What I did so far:
Copied the frame moto-res.apk, framework-res.apk, and blur-res.apk from my Rom.
Installed it on the apktool, apktool if ...
Runned apktool d ToggleWidgets.apk and it was correctly extracted into the dir ToggleWidgets
Now I was expecting to find a classes.dex file. But there is not, and I got stuck. If someone knows what should I do, or a link with things to clarify, I would be thankful.

I just renamed one of my apps with .zip and opened it, and the classes.dex file was in there. not sure if that helps or not.

@ronaldguilmet: It was the very first thing I tried. Interesting that in my case the file present. Thanks!

I guess the class files generated with the Android SDK uses obfuscation through Proguard. I think you cannot disassemble it.

did you manage to deodex it? if so, can you tell me how? I've tried differents methods with no success. My ultimate goal is to be able to use the Toggle Widgets in a custom ROM like CM9, I don't even know if this is possible without using the motoblur launcher. Could it be that you are trying to do the same thing? it's just that I like those widgets so much and I would like to keep them in a different ROM.

Hmm... Seems like you should try that search first... I wrote that guide, first of all.
Second, mRegEdit (it's a link in my first post! you don't even tried to click!) is NOT working for WP7 hive files (and I don't have source code).
Before post useless "suggestions" and RTFM advises, next time try to understand and research issue first.

We do actually read Q&A, or at least I do, but yeah... I've never tried pulling apart the hive files directly. It would be nice if the Search feature in the TouchXperience registry editor would actually search the data like it claims to do... there's only one registry key, and no registry values, that have my live ID as their name.
There is a way to do a full registry dump of a mounted hive. It requires being able to read the output of provxml, though - not sure if that's possible on Samsung. I could try doing it on my (HTC) phone and then search it for my Live Id, however. Basically, do a characteristic-query on a root element, and enable recursion.
It's also worth noting that the Live ID may not be stored as an email address everywhere that matters. Some features might just store a GUID, for example. I don't know of anything that does, but if you manage to change all of the email strings but are still having problems, that might be why.

GoodDayToDie, I've copied hive files (system.hv and user.hv) using WP7 Root Tools (from the \Windows\Registry) to desktop (via ISF) I'm not sure, may be it's just a shadow copies but both files have my new LiveID inside. Also I found 2 entries of the old LiveId (and already found location of the first - it's \HCLM\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Usage\SignedInUser) but that value change to the new one, current LiveID + reboot don't help much.
Probably, previous LiveID's hash or token is stored somewhere in the registry I'm afraid, without tracing it will be very hard to find one...

Update: I found a way to decode (but partially, unfortunately) these registry hives
Unpack attached archive, copy system.hv and user.hv to that directory and run 1.bat.

Another "hmm"... I don't need drag&drop (you can see my status, I'm not a noob but experienced developer with ... he-he, le' me remember ... more than 20 years of development), I'm using Far Manager (and may recommend it to you). But HVEdit can't parse WP7 hive files (with or without drag&drop). If you don't believe me, try yourself, it's very easy.

oops, my mistake. i don't know about mRegEdit, haven't ever used or read of until now, for that matter. CeRegEditor can open *.hv, but not all registry are opened.

aren't you looking to do this? see below attachments.

I've tried on my hive files, copied from the working Focus (by using WP7 Root Tools + ISETool) and HVEdit can't parse these files. May be because I've copied already opened files or shadow copies (I'm not sure).
Your example is for default.hv (I believe, that file was extracted from ROM, not from the working phone, correct?)
P.S. By the way, I already "solved" parsing hives (see my posts above) but it didn't solve the "change LiveID" problem Looks like WP7 stored somewhere previous LiveID token or hash.

when i get home, i will extract the two *.hv files from my HD7 and give it a try.
i believe i had done that before and it worked, but can't be positive on whether i actually did or not.

OK, thanks. You may also try attached (in my post above) rgucomp.exe (it worked for me partially).

Hi mate,
If I understand correctly I believe sh4d0w86 is right, with HVedit you can view/browse/export in readable format WP7 registry hives like user.hv, system.hv and even default.hv.
I am doing that since I cook my first WP7 custom ROM.
Just drag the *.hv file on top of HVedit.exe and immediatly an *hvm file will be created that can easly be edited with any text editor.
Than you can do the same drag and drop process with the *.hvm and the file will be restored to *.hv again.
Hope it helps

extracted user.hv & default.hv from my HD7 and used HVEdit to read just fine.

Good for you. Here is mine output (after drag & drop):

hmm. well, sounds like you should try WMDC Launcher in conjunction with WMDC/ActiveSync and maybe WP7 Root Tools v0.9.
less, you want me to try it with your *.hv file(s). you can email them to me, if you want.

Try for what? As I said before, I already found places with the old LiveID (so I don't need parsing tool anymore), but changing to the new LiveID didn't solve the SkyDrive/Twitter access issue.

No, sorry, I don't want to email you my personal data There are lot of unencrypted, plain text info in the registry...
