[Q] Extracting a database from my phone - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi xda community,
I have a really big problem because of ChevronWP7 unlock tool. I have developped an application for my own usage I used an official chevronWP7 unlock tool that I paid to install this application on my smartphone because I didn't wanted to pay a full microsoft marketplace account and i didn't wanted to jailbreak my phone so it was a good solution.
ChevronWP7 is not working anymore because of a synchronisation problem between them and microsoft.
So I wanted to get the database of my application to import my data into a desktop PC app.
The problem is that I can't manage to extract the DB from my phone.
I've tried some tools but nothing works.
Do you know something that could be helpfull to get the database that is installed into my phone without loosing all the datas please ?

OK, first of all, is this a database on WP7 itself (i.e. in the OS) or in some app's isolated storage?
Second of all, which database (if it's in an app, what app)?
Third, what phone do you have and what unlocks, if any, are applied?
By the way, all users of ChevronWP7 Labs received a free AppHub account (allows official dev-unlock) when ChevronWP7 Labs was shut down. If your phone is currently developer-locked, you can use that to developer-unlock it again.

Thanks for you answer GoodDayToDie. So here are the informations :
- it is in my app isolated storage (SQL CE created by code first approach)
- The application is something I've made myself, a sort of money app.
- My phone is the HTC Titan and the only thing I've made on my phone is applying the chevronWP7 unlock.
When you say that ChevronLab sent to his users a free apphub account, I didn't received anything :/
I've tried to follow their steps to associate the email I used to register on their website to the email I use on Microsoft sites but I can't manage to make it work...
I'm really stuck

I can't really help you with the issue of turning your ChevronWP7 Labs token into an AppHub (or whatever they call it now) account. I've got a paid account, so it's nothing I've ever had to deal with except the original setup, which was easy.

Manage multiple android phones?

I work in an IT department, and have the task to figure out how we control the 30 or so HTC legend and Desire's which will be handed out to our employees.
I would like to keep the phones as safe a passible, with centralized management so we can push apps to all phones, locate them, remote wipe and so on.
Problem 1: Does every employee need their own Google account? or can we use the same account on all phones?
it would take a long time creating them and keeping track of all the accounts.
Problem 2: how do we restrict them from installing apps themselves?
haven't found anything on this yet..
Problem 3: Is there any management software out there for android?
so far I am thinking about using Lookout for antivirus and locating lost phones, it does not support remote wipe for android,(it does for win mo). And using appbrain to push apps to all phones. will this work? or are there better solutions out there?
Why don't you guys go with BlackBerry instead? RIM has targetted their OS way more to these kind of business situations.
Anyway, if you have 1 google account for everyone. Everyone will have the same contacts, same calendar and same gmail e-mails.
The company is placed in Denmark, BlackBerry are not available to us, plus the phones have already been bought.
The Google accounts won’t be used for anything else than the market place. Mail, calendar is over exchange webmail.
Will the contacts be a problem?
Contacts won't be a problem if there are no contacts stored in it. Just gotta make sure nobody starts adding contacts in it. Or simply disable contact syncing all together, but you gotta do that on every phone.
I don't know about the other questions.
Ok, good. So no other problems with shared google accounts?
I would disagree with sharing one google account. There are many other aspects of the google account which are shared. Have you thought about cooking your own roms? You could remove the android market (and other apps) and make it more difficult to sideload apps.
I'd definitely suggest this route. Remove marketplace all together and sideload all of your necessary apps from apks.

So it is best to have individual accounts for each and every one of the employees?
Don’t think cooking is an option for us, as it not will be allowed by our operator, with warranty and so on..
I will have a look at Good Technologies, on Monday. Does anyone have any experience with their products?
yes, def no sharing of the accounts. All it would take is one person to mess it up for everyone else. You could get Google Apps account for better management but they cost $$.

Google Apps most definitely. Its the only way for you to control 30 phones ---- if your working for a non-profit, then G-Apps is free. You control Google Apps, then you control the phones by natural subordination.
Any other way is going to weigh a heavy demand on your shoulders, big brother.

Its true you need a Google account to set up your phones. However, have you thought about setting up your phones with a Google apps account?
Our company has become very "Google Friendly" as of late. We switched our email server out for a very flexible/scalable Google Apps account.
Instead of giving a gps, phone, and tablet to everyone. We found that all our needs were satisfied with giving everyone a Droid.
I am now in control of upwards 200 phones. All but a few are Android (Droids) all are set up under our Google Apps account. If you talk with your Service provider they should be able to set the phones up for you if you order yours in a bulk order at the same time. And yes everyone will need their own account, you would run into a huge mess if you were only using one account. (email, calender, contacts, and settings would all change with one person adding/subtracting something)
As for managing your users ability to download apps. You could do as suggested and remove the market place after you have installed your needed apps. Or you could limit your users to only downloading free apps. (if you set your phones up using Google Apps they cannot sync a google checkout account to their phone. (Is there a reason you don't want your users to download apps?)
Android 2.2 will give you your other request remote wipe, ease of deployment (exchange account sync), and better security.
If you go with Google you get a great community that will be able to help you out.
Free Apps that may help you out.
instamapper (tracking at its best)
wheresmydroid (turn on gps)
pdanet (internet tether)
barcode scanner
gps (mostly built in)
dropbox (file sharing)
It does take time to set up, but I think you would be very please with the transition.

Hello,
Have you found any apps that fit your needs? Do you use them? If no, is your organization still interesting in mobile device management service?
I'm asking because I'm working for http://bloove.com (personal phone management service) and we're going to expand our offer to small and medium companies.
This new service will combine existing contact, sms, phone log and bookmark backup for personal phone with MDM features like centralized app management, location and wipe service etc.
We're looking for early adopters who will have a chance to add their custom requirements to the service and get this service for free for up to six months.
Please let me know if you're interested and want to discuss this further.
Thank you,
Rostislav

[Q] Changing main phone account through the registry?

So.. I used my windows live account for my phone... and for some reason it detected it as if I lived in the USA... So now I can't add my bank card to my account and I can't buy applications.
I created a new account to set my country to Mexico (I already did this in zune.net). The problem now is that I would like to change the main account from my phone so I can buy applications without having to reset my phone.
I have an LG Quantum, so I can access the registry editor using the MFG app.
Anyone knows how to do this?
=)

Thanks a lot man! =)
What is the difference between the email and the user?
Do you know if it is possible to change to use a messenger account for messaging that is different from the main account?
lol ... after actually trying this out... it didn't work and it screwed my accounts xD
it is good I remembered the original value for those fields so maybe I can fix it =)
The fields seem to have an id instead of the email of the account... maybe this would work if I could get the id from my other account :O
Hey, tenhotshot, first, when you do copy/paste, you must provide link to the original post, i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240
Second, when you trying to answer on question what you have no idea what is the question for, please do not answer. I already told in my post - it's about changing email assigned to the primary Live acount, not a whole account...

Check my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240 , I just added some important info (and of course tested on my handset - I'm able to use Marketplace, Games and Hotmail with new id!
P.S. Probably we need to add this hack to FAQ...

Awesome! I'm guessing I have to add the new account to the accounts list first?
And also... Do I have to do those 3 changes, or just the last one?
So.... it didn't work for me... again xD
Now I can't config contacts nor accounts... and I can't access my email...
It really sucks how microsoft restricts your account to only one country... u__u
I'll probably get a cheap used phone to try this kind of things first hehehe =P
Hmm, it's really strange, because I just did it and everything works fine. What phone do you have and how do you change the registry (registry editor, provisioning)?
Also, as I mentioned before, I changed the LiveID user name i.e. email account name, not a whole account (may be it's a reason?). Sorry, I don't know the difference and how it affects on WP7 settings.
First, I've changed email at the first two registry entries and was able to get new email (my old email associated with Live account, was blocked by damn stupid Verizon - after 10 years - still can't believe). Yesterday I found what Marketplace and game hub stop working, and asking for password with old email (LiveID?). So, I found the third entry and now all Live-services working fine, including Zune. It's 100% true.

I'm using an LG quantum and I edit the registry through the MFG application (it has a registry editor)
I actually wanted to be able to change my main account because for some reason the account I normally use for messenger is identified as being from the USA, so I can't use it to buy. So I created another account and set it to Mexico (my country) , so now I can buy apps from the market place...
The problem is now I have to re add all my friends to my new messenger account... x___x
So if I could change accounts, I could switch my account whenever I needed to buy something and then change it back to be able to send messages.
=)
For now I think I'll just start adding my contacts to the new account.

[Q] Hard reset: Get back to Tango

[changed topic]:
i did a hard reset of my wp7 device, but how can i get back to tango? device says im up to date, but the os surface is just like a old wp version...

Hey there,
i lost access to my windows live account. Is there any way i can backup my contacts?! Htc Trophy, Wp Tango, no unlock.

You can still find the contacts in your phone, right?
If so then you can use this app for example
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/backup-contacts/e39fae14-46a8-447e-a708-ca31c39d7688
Then if you want you can import them to new windows live account using outlook for example.
Thx..too bad i cant use the marketplace anymore with this account issue
Guess ill have to annoy the ms support then, after that is all about the pen and paper method =//
If you have gmail ,just sync them , and your done!
My contacts dont sync, cause they were stored as ms contact type..
Changed topic.
What version of OS do you now have after reset? Tango ver is 8773 or 8779.
If you have a lower version then try to force the update through Zune by disconnecting your lan cable as it attempts to check for updates etc.
your a little bit too vague here
what did you have, device and version, what went wrong for your to do a hard reset, what do you have, now (version) and finally what is it you want
your mention tango but the chat seems to be more about live syncing issues so its a little unclear
can you elaborate a bit?

[Q] Magicjack app error "Your device is not on this account"

Hey guys
I have an old phone (LG Optimus 2X - p999) that I wanted to give away to a friend.
I had installed the Magicjack app when I was using the phone, and now my friend is having problems loging in.
When my friend attempts to login, he gets this error "Your device is not on this account."
The username and password are entered correctly and he's able to login when he's using his tablet.
I was wondering if anyone came across this issue before?
Info:
Phone: LG P999 with Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Magicjack account: free
Bump
It looks like no one had this problem before, eh?
Am I the only one who had this problem?
Or maybe my post was not clear?
It is possible that the license for the MJ app on that phone has expired. You might try to remove and reinstall to update the license. Or you can go to your MJ account to see if you can reactivate that license. Just a thought.

I don't have the account info and password to login to magickjack, and I don't use it anymore.
I've tried to remove the app and all it's data files and re-installed.
I've also tried flashing a different ROM to my old phone and still no go.
My friend wants to use it, but he's not able to login with his account when using my old phone.
Are there any alternatives to Magicjack on the Google play store that don't require you to buy credits?
Yeah, MJ has to be active for the app to work.
You might take a look at testPlus. I think you can subscribe for a year for $20 or watch some videos for credit.
Hope that helps.

TB3-X70F Google Account locked

Hi, I have one of these tablets that came out of a kitchen showroom (legally - I work for that company) and was supplied pre-loaded etc. The company that supplied it have disbanded that department and I am unable to get access to the Google account that set it up (the company don't even know the account name). Is there any way to reload the OS to bypass the accont check? This is all legal and I have permission to do anything I want to the tablet. I'd hate to bin it just because it is locked to a specific account with no way to retrieve that account.
I managed to reset the tablet but as soon as it gets a network connection, it wants me to sign in which I am obviously unable to do.
