[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:
Version OS: 7.10.7720.68

Version software radio: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U
Version hardware radio: A.102.0.D4
Version bootloader: 4.6.2250.0(129185)
Version SOC: 2.2.5.0
In bootloader:
PC40100 SS-BC (4K)

MicroP(LED) 0x09
TUOCH A1(v10,20)
SD SANDISK 7580MB
Partition Info-v211v413
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] Possible to restore my backups after flashing a custom rom?

I want to Interop-unlock my Trophy and from the treads i read i need a custom for that. But can i still restore my current backups after installing a custom rom?
I've installed stock ROM in the past which changed the backup folder name (C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\xxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxx - xxxxxxxx) and i couldn't restore my backups

I personally have never been able to get a backup to successfully retake on the phone I took the backup from. Your mileage may vary but I don't think it works.

You can interop-unlock a Trophy (or almost any other HTC first-gen phone) if your firmware version isn't too high. Just rolling back the version should be enough to do that.
However, to answer your question, no you can't restore a (Zune) backup into a custom ROM, not without losing the custom ROM. The backup includes the ROM image, and restoring it completely wipes the phone and restores it exactly as it was before, ROM included.

Can i interop-unlock with Mango or do i have to roll back to NoDo? My phone is dev-unlocked btw.
My current OS version: 7.10.7720.68

I said your Firmware version, not your OS version. However, if you're still on 7720, there's a decent chance (but not a guarantee) that you're OK.
Did you even *try* looking at the official interop-unlock thread under dev&hacking? It's almost always on the first page, very easy to find by search, and linked from the sticky thread at the top. It does require dev-unlock, but you have that...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963

Yes trust me i know where the seach button is, tried everything going back to NoDo and follow ansar's guide - also tried your interlop hack.
I believe i should be OK as long as my bootloader is 4.6.
I read your comment in another tread about interop-unlock and full unlock correct me if im wrong, i need to flash the bootloader with a custom bootloader before my phone becomes fully unlocked? And is it even possible to be fully unlocked with stock ROM?
My bad don't know why i wrote the OS version, here is the phone info:
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.16907.401
Hardware revision number: 0003
Radio software version: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U
Radio hardware version: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 4.6.2250.0(129185)
Chip SOC version: 2.2.5.0

Did you try Heathcliff74's app? It uses the same hack as mine but works on more phones; I don't even know why I left my XAP up. I don't know how Ansar's stuff works, which means I don't entirely trust it, but people have reported it working... Of course, he's published enough different things that "ansar's guide" could be any of several procedures.
Your firmware version is surprisingly low for a first-gen phone; I'd expect Heathcliff74's interop-unlock to work just fine. Note that if it's a Verizon Trophy (hybrid GSM/CDMA) there's a few additional steps you'll need to take, which are available in Heathcliff74's "official" interop-unlock thread as well.
SPL (bootloader) 4.6 is too high to install HSPL (required for a custom ROM) directly, but is somewhat easier to downgrade than 5.x (which typically requires a goldcard or similar shenanigans). if you want to use a custom ROM, though, you'll certainly be able to get full unlock.
I'm personally working on a full-unlock for stock ROMs, based on my HtcRoot project. It will require interop-unlock (or NoDo) and at least temporarily downgrading to an outdited firmware, though (2250.*.3XXXX.* works on my HD7).

Yes also tried Heathcliff74's app, but i gave it a try again and it seems to be interop unlocked now. I uninstalled HTC Connection Setup and Heathcliff74's app then restartet the phone which i didn't do the many times before!! After reinstalling the apps it worked!
Does the low firmware ver. mean anything?
Sounds good, looking forwards it

Low firmware version just usually means that your phone's HTC drivers that are used for high-privilege apps (like TouchXplorer, Advanced Config, etc.) haven't yet been crippled. In this case, it's a good thing. However, different phones use different version numbers for the same level of functionality in their firmware, so comparing yours and mine doesn't necessarily mean anything.
You shouldn't have had to either uninstall Connection Setup nor reboot the phone, but I'm glad you got your interop-unlock working!

[Q] downgrading wp7

hey guys,
i've got the samsung omnia w gti8350 and i installed the latest update including kk2, but now i havn't the phone either unlocked nor i have a backup.
i downloaded the full mango build 7720 rtm and the wp7 update cab sender. when i wanted to "update" actually downgrade, the anser was no cab was required. the phone doesn't let me downgrade to mango!
is there a possible answer how i can downgrade it or how i can uninstall kk2 without having a backup?
thanks for your attention
daniel

I'd ask what you did with your backup, but it's probably too late for that now.
You need a ROM flashing tool, not a CAB sender (which is used for updates, not full ROMs). I know that ROM flashing utilities exist for the first-gen Samsung phones, and would assume that either they can be used with second-gen or you can find one that works. The tool used for HTC (like I have) is called ROM Update Utility, commonly abbreviated RUU.
You may want to look in device-specific parts of the forum. Also, just for the record, do you mind posting your firmware version info (from Settings -> About -> More Info)? People are constantly asking how to check for the KK2 version, and it would be good to have a number I could point to and say "if it's at least this high, you need to downgrade."

Here we go,this is what i got after the update:
Firmware revision number 7.10.8107.79
Hardware revision number 23.15.0.8
Radio software version 2424.11.12.1
Radio hardware version 0.0.0.800
Bootloader version 6.1.2.0
Hope it helps,since update i was unable to unlock using windowbreak.

@GoodDayToDie: would it be possible to use the ROM Update Utility to flash my omnia w?
Daniel

I don't know; ROM flashing isn't my thing (I'm still on a stock ROM). I strongly suggest you go look at the Omnia [7] forum, if you can't find an Omnia W forum, and ask how to re-flash the ROM. Alternatively, you could try searching (using Google/Bing, since the forum's search tool is down). You could also look at the XDA-Devs wiki; a lot of this sort of info is stored there.

Here you are
OS: Windows Phone 7.5
Date: 2011 November
PDA: I8350XXKK4
CSC: I8350PLSKK4
Download: Click HERE
This ROM is from Poland, unfortunately it's the only ROM I could find for your phone. Anyway this shouldn't give you any kind of problem.
How to flash:
- Extract the archive
- Open the folder Downloader and run WP7_Downloader_Ver_3.8_for_Secure_and_SMD_change_Parttiton_and_Support_Retail_binary.exe as Administrator
- Click on PDA and choose PDA_I8350XXKK4_REV0.nb0
- Click on CSC and choose CSC_I8350PLSKK4.csc
- Click on Phone and choose PHONE_WEMBLEY_16002402_open_KK1_rev00_RC1.bin
- Click on Eboot and choose EBOOT_I8350XXKK4_REV0.eb0
- Put your phone in Download Mode (Turn it off and press Volume Up Key + Camera Key + Power).
- Plug in your phone, wait until the program finds the phone and then click Start
If the program doesn't find the Phone, then you need to install Samsung USB Drivers: Download HERE

hey AshleyT
i tried all you said exactly that order but nothing worked:
picture as attachment
Have i made a mistake?

Uhm... Everything seems correct
Try these USB drivers:
Samsung USB Driver v1.3.2300
Uninstall the old ones before installing these!
Also, I found another revision on that firmware, if you have the same error with the new drivers, try with this other one:
http://hotfile.com/dl/142699209/c6a2bc7/I8350XXKK4_XEKK4_SERKK4.rar.html

i have samsung omnia w with frmware v7720 and diagonisis ver 1109 in which the window break method does not get applied...so for this reason i want to downgrade my phone...is possible to use windows support tool for downgrading to earlier windows ver i.e. NoDO because i dont have any backup of it so i cant even reterive it with zune

i've now tested the new drivers and the new rom that you posted.
It seems not to work! Same problem as before, no way out! I think samsung provided with kk2 an update that blocks all possibilities to "hack" this phone.

2nd gen devices (like Omnia W) can't be downgraded to NoDo because they didn't even exist before Mango!
Anyway 7720 is the OS version, not the firmware.
You can always try the ROM that I posted above and see if you're able to apply WindowBreak on it

Well, my Samsung Omnia 7 also received KK2 update which blocked the possibility to use WindowBreak, but I was able to flash even a custom ROM, so I don't really think that the problem is realted to the firmware.
Are you sure that you're in bootloader mode?
You can also try the procedure on another computer, but I don't know what else I could suggest you, because I didn't have any problem on my Omnia 7!

Are the bootloader mode and the download mode the same? First you mentioned i've to go to the download mode (vol. up + cam. + power).
If that's true i am in the right mode.

I'm interested in downgrade my Omnia W too. I found this. I hope that it helps, but i think, that it's only for upgrade...

Can i make a custom frimware for 2nd gen devices???

Since you'd need to unlock the bootloader before you could install it, a custom firmware for gen2 phones isn't yet a useful project...

So i tried it with later drivers and Poland Firmware and it seems that it doesn't works.. Still the same firmware.

@WooDoo.CZ: don't you forget to ckeck the checkboxes from PDA, Phone, Eboot & Phone Boot. Unless you check these, i think it won't send any files to your wp7 device...

Sorry boys. So I did it again and now i checked it. And same problem as you had.
edit:
I found this. Anybody should try it. I don't have time right now.

i tried now what you found. For me it didn't seem to work! Error: md5 checksumm not valid for both of the roms mentioned before in this threat.

Hmm, so I tried it too, and i had error: This is a unknown binary.. So what next?

[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

how intall official rom on my HTC 7 PRO

Hello,
I have a HTC 7 Pro that I bought on the internet. It is sim-unlock original but has a layer swiscom because I wanted a keyboard with qwertz (I'm used to that because I lived in Holland and lontemps was this type of keyboard). The so currently on:
OS Version: 7.10.8107.79
Number of micro program: 2250.21.51101.166
Version of the software radio: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U
Version of the loader startup: 5.11.2250.0
In short I would like to remove this rom so swiscom and put an official HTC. And by the same ocasion make interop unlock to unlock my tel.
So I have an account ChevronWP7 official because I had bought for $ 9 ChevronWP7 the official. I can install apps xap but not all ... but somtimes I get the error 0x81030120.
So my goal is not to have this message and then install what I want it. And at the same time spend a HTC official rom.
I do not really understand how. Following some tutorial as I have a spl 5.x I can not and I must make that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893152
Then after I have to change the official rom for htc ... but I do not understand all these steps.
If someone could explain to me all that'll fix things before I do something stupid.
Besides what's the difference between:
Chevron-unlock
unlock-interop
Full-unlock
PLEASE help me!
PS: I was very well when I wedged my windows mobile flash etc on windows phone but the only thing I did was change the micro sd card in a 32 gb.
