HELP ??
The instructions you can find here are all pretty clear and they work.
I went according to this one:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)

6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;
You are probably just missing a step
you must be doing something wrong ..cause as i just stated above all the tool and unlocker still works as it did 3 months ago...check some of tutorials in the forum...

hi , i connected my phone using wpconnect , im still having same problem
Check your hosts file.
If it contains following entry, Chevron will not work:
127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com
I cant remember where I read this but it helped.After completing the above instructions,Open task manager(Ctrl ,Alt &del).Go to processes ,select zune launcher and click on end process.reboot pc ,connect phone , wait for it to sync wit zune ,if it doesnt ,run zune then run chevron and you are done.I did this for 3 phones and it worked.hope this helps.good luck.
another confirmation that the unlocker still works for me without any problems at all...i dont nor havent deleted any host files or changed any setting at all within the machine. I have had one or two problems with it not working, the first problem i ever had when i first started using the unlocker was the registry key not being edited correctly... and for the second time it didnt work, all i did was unplug device and let re sync...tick, tick BOOM unlocked!! Besides those couple times it has always worked for me...Bought a new machine today and installed tools, then zune software and created account " naming phone " and installed chevron, opened and unlocked....if you have sdk tools installed and have the unlocker installed, with zune software completely set up and phone communicating with zune, not as guest...and you will change the relationship from guest to " whatever you name your phone " during setup... haven a complete and main relationship with phone " not guest " is one of the most important parts with zune!!! The other most important part is making sure the registry is edited and should look like this...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
the window phone developer tools will edit reg for you...i have learned that if you relock the phone it sometime can takes a little while for things to click and be able to unlock again!!
So there is nothing wrong with any of the tools or unlocker, so if your having problems tripple check your zune settings to accomplish a non guest relationship, and check your reg. edit.....most problems i have seen and heard about are ppl and their zune!

how do you ensure that it is not GUEST?
i seem to be unable to get it to sync with ZUNE
Wow... you can come and work on our helpdesk any time, they log calls about as badly as you explain a problem lol.
You've said it's "not working". Why isn't it working? Where are you getting up to? Are you getting an error message?
Have you deleted all entries of Developerservices... from your host file?
make sure you have corrected date and time
and if possible use SIM Card with "big operator" in your country (well known operator)
sorry for bad english, using google translate
Host File?

[Q] Transformer 3.1 Rooting Issues

Hi XDA
I am new to the Android scene but not new to hacking and moding in general. I have an Asus Transformer that I've been trying to root for over a day now with out success.
I've been following this guide since I don't want to remove the information from my tablet as I actually want to gain root to back up some applications before I continue further down the CWM and mod's path.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125714
I have adb setup and can access the device in apx mode, when running the batch script for root, the terminal shows that it's copying data, and I see output successful written twice on the tablet it's self, If i further continue the CWM batch script I get a 3rd successful message appear on the tablet.
I reboot the transformer and enter normal mode, and ensure debugging is actively set, and a little bumblebee icon is in the bottom status bar, I then proceed to run the root_app batch which should open up su for me.
However even though I don't receive any error messages and only successful ones, it just wont root! I've tried replacing the boot.img and recovery.img from another post on rooting, to see if this would give any success alas non was given.
I am now completely lost on what I can do next, I don't understand why this wont work for me, whilst it seems to work correctly for everyone else.
The details of the transformer as current:
Android 3.1
Kernel 2.6.36.3-00001-gf377a2b
Build hmj37.ww-epad-8.4.4.5-201105271
Dock EP101-0209
I am using windows 7 64 with drivers installed and asus sync installed.
Nvidia USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices
Date 31/01/2011
Version 1.1.1.0
Please can I get some direction from the XDA community on this issue since I've got over 20 tabs open in my browser looking information up and yet nothing seems to help, as stated I don't want to loose my data just yet since I really want to back up a couple of apps of importance to me, hence I am having to use this rooting method for now.
I would of posted in the above linked thread but XDA wont let me since I am a new member.
Please can someone shed some light on this for me? I am willing to rip out the boot.img from the transformer my self, and mod it given the commands and little help since I can't see what else I can do.
Bump
Can someone please move this to applicable transformer area? This thread is being viewed but not answered, and I think I need a dev to look at it
Is there anyone here who can confirm the drivers I am using for apx are ok? I did pull them from the package which is part of the guide I linked and was following.
More info
Well i've ensured that JDK and SDK are installed that all parts are updated and installed according to the adb guide, and yet still nothing...
.
Here is a sample output on the transformer after running root.bat
imageshack.us/photo/my-images/204/20110622112439.jpg
Restricting new users is actually pretty S**T i can't post in correct threads, I can't add links to images to show my outputs what a way to welcome new people!!
With regards to running the root_app.bat which gives the superuser permissions, I have debugging enabled, and I see my tablet in windows I can explore the file system and I see it listed as Transformer TF101 under portable devices.
Driver Provider Microsoft
Driver date: 21/06/2006
Driver Version 6.1.7600.16385
Could it be a problem with this driver?
Stop looking and start answering I am getting really F*** off here, I've had no sleep and i am still no further forward, 2days of hell for something that people are reporting as the fastest and easiest root ever!
What driver version do you have listed in windows when you have the tablet connected under debug mode? please at least someone help me with that answer so I can continue this dam search for a fix.
Anyone?
If you could please just confirm if your using the same drivers when having the tablet on in normal mode, and connected with debug option active.
Going to spam this now so I can link into the original guides tread.
Spam to unlock my account 1.
Spam to unlock my account 2.
Spam to unlock my account 3.
Spam to unlock my account 4. Should be unlocked so i can post in dev section.
FIXED!
Ok so i finally got pissed off with this and having a strong suspicion it was a driver level issue only I ripped all the drivers out for normal mode, with and with out debugging.
I re-installed the device and the drivers fresh from ASUS website (again) and low and behold it's working.
I believe the reason for my issue was a corrupt MTP driver, I recently did the asus sync update and that caused a number of sporadic errors! (Adobe AIR completely disappeared out my system!)
Anyway, thanks to the XDA community NOT (69 views not a single confirmation of driver version I was asking for!) I WILL help others and since I've spammed this thread enough to unlock the dev threads it's now being posted and linked there for the benefit of others!
3hours sleep 2 days of messing = pissed off but finally relived user of transformer!
Big shout to the dev's who have made the tools in the first place you're doing a great job, and I hope to assist, with guides, testing and maybe a mod or two.

[Solved] MTP for WinXP - A service installation section in this INF is invalid

Hi All,
I just tried to connect my TF101 to an old WinXP box and got the error above when installing the driver from the Asus site, the solution after looking here was to install the Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework for WinXP here. I think this fix applies to all android devices but I figured it was worth a post if it saves some TF users from a long search.
Thank you for this, helped me fix it after searching around for 2 hours!
thanks heaps
You are a legend. Samsung should put this on their site. I couldnt get my Samsung Galaxy S II to connect, installing the Framework and then uninstall and driver and plug phoneback in then worked.
WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!
POST THIS IN SAMSUNG WEBSITE
This driver package solves the Error code 28
for MTP device as samgung, then it works in Kies.
Hey thanks for the info +1
Thanks it works
equal or better file already installed on this computer
I get the same INF error when I try to hook up my video camera. I tried to download the file but received a message stating that I already have an equal or better one already. Obviously that is not correct because it is not working.
I am lost and can no longer put my videos from Panasonic Mini DV on my computer.
Any chance anyone knows how I can fix this..thanks!!
Gigsee, what operating system are you experiencing this on?
The help above is specifically for WinXP, it *may* be applicable to Vista also but will certainly not apply for a Win7 box because the usb driver stack is totally different there.
You'll have to help me out by giving step by step instructions of what your clicking and what your seeing at the time to pinpoint your problem and please be very specific with the wording of any errors your seeing.
Reply with something like;
1- click start> settings > control panel > system.
2 - open device manager tab.
George
Hi George - Thank you for taking the time to try to help me. I have an HP that is running on Vista Home.
I have tried to add the video camera several ways. One way is to open Movie Maker and add video camera. I also just hook the video camera up to the computer. I've tried a USB cord and HP told me I needed an IEEE 1394 cord, but that made no difference. I've tried going through the control panel to cameras and adding a camera. No matter how I try, it always does the same thing:
1) I plug in the USB cord. I instantly get this message: USB Device Not Recognized.
2) Control Panel; Scanners & Cameras; Add Device
3) I am sent to the Welcome to the Scanner and Camera Installation Wizard
4) Next; I have the box asking me if I want to select the manufacturer from the list (only my old printer is on the list) or to select that I have the manufacturer's disk
5) Have Disk
6) Message says to the Insert manufactures installation disk, which I do. It asks me to copy manufacture's files from:
7) I hit browse and change drive to E (since that is my disk drive).
8) A list of 6 files come up. Acrobat Reader, DV Studio3, USBDriver, ArcSoft, G726, AUTORUN
9) The acrobat, dv studio, arc soft all upload correctly. When I hit the USB Driver, it takes me to another screen that says DRIVERS. At this point, the file name gets automatically filled in as "AUTORUN.INF" When I click "OPEN" I get AUTORUN.INF File not found. Check the file name and try again.
note: It used to be that when I hooked up the camera to the computer, It would automatically detect it and try to connect with it. It was then that I got the error above about "A Service Installation section in this INF is invalid." Now, it doesn't even let me get that far.
I hope I was descriptive enough..thanks so much for trying to help me!!

I had the same issue with ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 connecting to WinXPSP2. Solution worked immediately. Thanks to original poster.
confirmed fixed issue with samsung vibrant! thank you
Hi !
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH i777. I've been trying to connect it to my laptop ( now xp sp3 ) for a few weeks now.
I've tried almost everything :
-updated sp2 to sp3
-uninstall and reinstall drivers manually
-tried suggestions from android and xp forums : tried every connection mode, every usb port, code error 28 suggestions, .Net framework update , updated windows media player "mode", and some others ... even trying this Microsoft User Mode Driver Framework.
But no success. I've always had this annoying " A service installation section in this INF is invalid " message.
Until yesterday when I found this site and followed divadrummer 5 steps :
fixya.com/support/t221754-service_installation_section_in_inf
( as a knew member I cannot post outside links for a while - so you need to supplement the above line with the usual "stuff" like "www"
I've found the "inf" file in the windows hidden system.
Hope I could help .
Thank you very much!
Galaxy SII - MTP INF Issues
This is the EXACT issue I've been having. I'm thrilled to see it on XDA since I know there's so many competent people out there just brimming with eagerness to help me figure this out. (Or at least you're borderline willing)
Device: Samsung Galaxy SII Sprint SPH-D710 (i think)
OS: ICS
Computer: Dell Latitude d610
OS: XP SP3
As you know I connect my phone to the computer, it recognizes new hardware and attempts to install it. The only way to get the computer to recognize the phone in My Computer is by connecting as a digital camera and even then the VAST majority of my files are unavailable.
1. I installed the link provided by the original poster.
2. I uninstalled my phone by the device manager and in fact by removing the samsung phone drivers that I had earlier installed.
3. I then plugged my phone back into the computer.
4. I installed the Samsung drivers again
5. I allowed the "found new hardware to run its course.
6. I receive the attached screen shot with the error stating "An error occurred during the installation of your device. The required section was not found in the INF.
I have tried to follow the instructions above and I think the User Mode stuff sounds promising.
Next I attempted another fix at the link below:
fixya.com/support/t221754-service_installation_section_in_inf
The link had the following instructions: (Thanks Divadrummer)
"If the player is showing up in your Windows' Device Manager under "portable devices" with a yellow "!":
1.) Right-click the yellow "!" and choose "update driver".
2.) When given the option to connect to Windows Update, choose "no, not this time" and click next.
3.) Choose "Install from a specific location (advanced)" and click next.
4.) Choose "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install" and click next.
5.) Click the "Have Disk" button. Browse to C:\Windows\inf and choose the file marked "wpdmtp.inf"
I can't believe the generic players have such crappy support when so many people have this problem! I think the Windows file problem might be caused by "compressing old files" when you do a disk cleanup."
After doing as advised I found no wpdmtp.inf file. SO... I did what any amateur computer guy would do. I googled the file and downloaded it directly. I placed in in my INF directory and then tried to do step 5. I still experience the same error.
Suggestions and inquiries are welcome and encouraged.
Thank you in advance.
thanks

Free Phone Unlocks and more

Hi all. @stifilz has been doing a great job holding this down by himself as far as i know and I just want to offer him some help and help folks here in the android community use their devices as they see fit. I've been working on phones and computers for over 17 years and can handle most issues anyone would encounter, just ask. I’m in the CST in US and am probably available to help USA based xda-users during more flexible hours. I’m not going to reinvent the wheel here so most of what follows is literally the same as stifilz post. Literally copy/paste/edit. The same patience and respect for time is required and I’ll do everything I can to help you everyone i can. This is not for commercial use, if I suspect someone has dubious intent, I'll just stop doing this for everyone. This is free for individuals involved in the community. Please do not abuse generosity.
I work on computers and phones professionally, over the years I’ve been immersed in Android on XDA and other sites and want to contribute back to the community in an area where people seem to have limited options and misinformation about what is and isn’t possible..... and plenty of those issues are things we cant discuss on here because of rules(frp(?), password removal,imei stuff, etc), but are definitely issues we all encounter buying used phones. Basically any help i can offer and I have time to do for you, I’ll do, as long as you do your due diligence before-hand, same as @stifilz requires.. ie>
First, ROOT > Easiest way is CF Auto Root http://autoroot.chainfire.eu
If that isn't available for your version or doesn't work then PLEASE USE SUPERSU http://www.supersu.com/download
Install the latest TWRP for you version https://twrp.me/Devices/(flash TAR under AP using Odin - UNTICK AUTO REBOOT)
Three Button combo to get into recovery(power off, hold volume up, home, and power until recovery boots), then flash latest SuperSU.zip in TWRP.
NB: This is a very basic ROOT guide. Please search here on XDA for further info
All i ask is RESPECT and PATIENCE. (if these are not given then I may CHOOSE not to help you)
Remember this is taking time away from my family and technically some of the same services i offer at work to help YOU! I personally would like to see that you have made posts to xda and are actively participating or seeking answers in the community. I dont know if that’s against the rules. If so, mods, let me know. If it’s not, be sure to include your xda username when you message me.

Very cool! Looks like we have a bit in common. Are you doing just Samsung Sprint Unlocks enabling GSM bands? or doing more unlocks than this? Can you do a Samsung S9 Sprint unlock? Also what about having root for u9 on a G935P converted to U firmware unlocked for all carriers GSM and CDMA? I am just looking for U9 english root or a method. So far nothing released public for Binary 9 from what my guys tell me.

Windows 10 on Surface RT working (edited thread)

Read carefully, this is about the installation of Windows 10 ARM32 on the Surface RT1. Previously tried the Elektrohax tutorial (video on youtube and also posted at Alexenferman.com) but I was unlucky on my attempts.
This is the mentioned tutorial:
How to install Windows 10 on the Surface RT - Alexenferman
www.alexenferman.com
I followed the instructions but failed twice. Now I know what was wrong. The tutorial IS FINE, it works. The thing is you have to first apply a patched version of Windows RT8.1 and run some scripts, that was fine, now the specifics:
Don't "RUN" the scripts, do not double click, this was the issue on my side. It doesn't matter if you run the script as "Administrator", I repeat, in my case this was the problem, DO NOT RUN or just double click.
INSTEAD, open a CMD window elevated to Administrator privileges. Move to the location of the scripts, this means get into the specific folder, only then run the script.
This means, if you placed the script on a folder named "whatever", right clicking with administrator rights and then execute does-NOT have the same effect as getting inside the folder as in "CD\whatever" and then "name-of-the-script".
I tried several times and I can confirm this is the thing that failed on my attempts.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Being that said, that website has all the instructions and links. Follow the tutorial carefully step by step. Keep the files on a safe place, who knows how long those will be kept on the web.
After my failed attempts I tried the chinese tutorial posted on Youtube by cong cheng on his channel. It worked, it even has some scripts working as installer, yes it works BUT after taking a deep look it's a method that applies a set of files made for some Nokia device, while it works, it is in chinese, has some broken things and it is SLOWER than Alexen Ferman method.
In short:
- Chinese - applies an already customized W10 version, way slower
- Alexen - it is an installer, you end up with a much better version
Good luck.
So what did you follow? The forums here seem to contain loads of broken links. Love to try W10 on my Surface since it's only collecting dust in my closet.
Thread edited and updated above and below.
Regarding Windows 10 on the Surface RT (CHINESE TUTORIAL)
I have no idea what's the risk on using a chinese modified pack. This one is different to the one at Alexen Ferman website, here I didn't need to apply all those patches (extras, after finishing the install), instead it worked out of the box. It's the same release as far as I know, but it's been customized.
My experience, what works:
o Edge works, better than IE11
o MyTube works (Youtube works amazingly well on this APP)
o System not as fast as W8.1
o I just clicked "Activate Windows" the usual way and it worked
o Cameras work out of the box (front and rear), no patches needed
o Can run ported apps (Paint.net, Halite, etc).
o YES, you gain access to some other apps on the STORE but hey, read below
X Office was in chinese (preinstalled) and slower, couldn't change it
X Removed it and installed the Office package provided by Alex Ferman
¬ After reinstalling, Office now is FASTER (tested and confirmed)
X No alternative browsers (just some but it's just IE with skin)
X Was kind of tricky to remove chinese (there are still some traces)
X Store doesn't fully work, just allows installing whatever is in my library (owned)
X VLC is way slower and ugly, worked way better on W8.1RT
- XX The Brightness control is kinda broken. You have to disable automatic changes and use only manual (via button), only there you can apply diff real levels of brightness to the screen, BUT, it won't work forever, after a while it will get stuck and you would have to reboot and set it right after going to the desktop.
- XX I'm still exploring this, I don't fully like it to be honest. The touch keyboard works, yes but in my case at times stops making sounds, and also stops working. Unplug and plug again fixes this but... meh.
It wasn't that great, I was actually considering going back to Windows 8.1 RT.
Now the final install I have (Alexen method):
Everything works, you just have to follow the tutorial and you will actually install W10, it's not an out of the box ready image, it is an installer. The only broken thing so far is the brightness control as explained above (it's an issue with the release so it won't go away), and the store didn't work for me, but there is an alternate method to install apps described at Alexen website.
Other than that EVERYTHING is better, it's fast, decent. I'm keeping my RT1 with Windows 10.
Read carefully, follow each step and don't give up. That's all I can say.
I did manage to get this working on my Surface 2 myself, was an interesting experience I don't really have any need for this thing anymore, but I have been pissed about buying a locked out piece of equipment for 8 years, so more just to principal of the thing! Thanks to Alex for all the work.
How do you install office from alexenferman? I tried running setup, but it says this app cant run on your pc. Also have you found a program to un pack .7z packages?
Has anyone written a guide on how to go back to windows rt 8.1?

Great that you got it working, now that you mention that you don't have any need for the Surface anymore, consider selling it to one of the member of the team working on modifications, unless you change your mind now that your surface works differently. In case you decide to move on, consider posting here on the Discord community

I simply downloaded the package and ran the Office Installer on the Surface (now with Windows 10ARM), your comment makes me think perhaps, you don't actually have a Surface with Tegra processor, please check. .7z? search for 7zip, that's the program to extract the files from the compressed package .7z

Nope, impossible. They didn't create a binary (executable app) for the platform and the way it's built (the source code) seems unlikely for someone else to do it.
Anyone interested please check the Discord link posted on this message.

I just got around to reading this. Thank you so much! I'm back on windows rt 8.1. One problem: Secure Boot is still disabled. Is there a way to re-enable it?

You should repart the drive using the official image downloaded from microsoft's site. If you want to come back to completely stock you have to re-install windows using the standard procedure, not the installation through wim file
im having an issue at the installing the wim using the dism. says system cant find the path specified. i verified the drive labels and all any ideas?
can some help me, after successful installed and load windows 10 on surface RT... when i want to run CMD as administrator. it gave an error "The Parameter is invalid".
Looking for some help, I got to the Win10 install stage and keep getting 0xc000000f blue screen error on Win10 boot. From the guide, it says I didn't choose to not copy system files when creating my recovery drive, but I didn't have any other options. I unchecked the only box available. Not sure what is wrong or how to fix. I can't reset, it asks me for my recovery drive, it doesn't accept the drive I created.
Edit: I ended up creating a new recovery drive from my Win10 PC, unchecked the box to copy system files, downloaded the Win RT recovery zip file from MS, copied the contents of that folder into the new recovery drive, copied the Win10 .wim from Alexen to the flash drive, and retried step 4 (I had already installed the hacked RT image and disabled secureboot, etc.). It is now booting, at least getting farther than it did before, after flashing the Win10 image.
Running into an issue right after the installing the patched image I get to the Region and Language select after the reboot and cannot select anything. After a bit the display just goes black. What can I do?
