Hello forum-mates! Does anybody knows/can help, why when the damn phone is not connected to the PC, most of the times the ActiveSync runs in the background? Of-course everytime I shut it down with HandySwitch, but still sometimes it comes up again.
Thanx for your reply.
operating system / async version / finer detail please.
you plugged in the cable?

Hello and thanks for your reply. The details you ask for are:
OS/WM5 - both ActiveSync 4.2 and Vista Mobile Device Center
ROM 1.12.405.1 ELL (Greek version)
Date 9/12/06
Radio 02.67.90
Protocol 4.1.13.28
I don't know if there is any proper way that I should follow to disconnect the phone (which I don't?), after sync. Thanks.
Have you tried a search on here or googled ?
Basically have to setup a fake server source.
Load Activesync, Menu, Add Server Source, at server address type anything i.e server, next, at user name type in i.e server and at password and domain, next, then tick off contacts, calender etc, then finish.
Then you should arrive back at ativesync main screen, menu then schedule, set peak time and off peak time to manually, ok.
Then Menu, Option, Delete Exchange Server and exit activesync.
All going well you should be able to stop activesync from running and it will only load when you need to sync.
Hope this lot makes sense.
Cheers

Okay, lots of hx2000 users already flashed their roms, now facing the bugs:
# A2DP not working, please try this software. It might work for your IPAQ hx2000 series.
Attached Bluetooth Audio Router. Please give me reports if it works.
# Battery Drained Issue: Have you ever left your Pocket PC in your bag for the night and the next morning discovered that the handheld’s battery was flat?
ActiveSync
1) Go to Start> Program> ActiveSync> Menu> Add Server Source, under Server address put 1.1.1.1.
2) Tap Next (bottom right)
3) You’ll get three boxes to fill in: Username, Password, Domain. Fill in xxx in all, tap Next, Finish, Menu, Schedule
4)Peak times> change to manually
5) Off-peak times> change to manually
6) On top right click Ok
7) On bottom right click Menu> Options, on bottom middle click Delete, when you get the warning, click Yes.
You're all done. If you follow this fix correctly (as was originally stated above, it will almost always (as it would appear by others posts( fix the battery drain issue.
Messaging Accounts (Outlook Mobile)
Open up the messaging application. Tap Menu > Tools > Options > select the email account you wish to change, then tap Next > Next > Next > Options button. Remove the checkmark in the box next to "Connect and check for messages every xxx minutes." Then tap Next > Next > Finish.
Notifications
Tap Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications icon. Select the Notifications tab, and then tap the down arrow next to the Event dialogue box. Select the “Reminders” event and make sure "Repeat" is not checked.
Today Timeout
tap Start > Settings > Today icon > Items tab. Remove the checkmark next to “Today timeout” to disable the feature
HP Protect Tools
Do not use this, except you work for FBI and has lots of secret data.
Running Applications
Tap the Running Programs tab, select the application you wish to close, and tap the Stop button (or you can tap the Stop All button to close all running applications). Be sure all applications closed before turning off your IPAQ.
Power Setting
Pocket PC devices that are running Windows Mobile turn on at midnight to search for appointments for the coming day. Reminders are set and the Today view is updated with the day's events, thus on Battery power, turn off device if not used for 1 minute, Backlight on battery power: 30 seconds.
You can adjust whatsoever you want, the rule is turn off device > turn off backlight.
TODAY Plug-ins:
Better you uninstalled all today plug-ins thrid party progs.
Installed programs on SD/CF running in memory sometimes not respond after you turn on from automatic battery turn off.
It takes between 3-5 seconds to get response and/or sometimes program automatically closed by itself.
Solution: installed the programs in DEVICE.
Tips: Remove any unnecessary files in memory storage, so you will have more ROM memory storage.
After I turn on the device(2490b) from automatic battery turn off every time the backlight on battery power change to 10 seconds, no matter which setting I was choose. Until the device power off(auto or manually) the setting works, but after power on the setting change to 10 seconds again. Have anyone else this issue? Any solution?

Uhmm strange, try to do clean reset whether the symptom disappear.
BT phone manager that you missed in wm6.0

Dear All,
Please pay attention that after making changes, installing new software or doing your usual software settings it is advisable to power off your device before soft-resetting.
Example, I recently setup my Inbox mail accounts and soft resetted my device in a usual way. After a soft reset I found out that none of my accounts was actually kept. So, I did setup again, powered off my device and soft-resetted it. After soft-reset all mail accounts were saved and were workable
To limit CPU Usage
1.Do the Activesync Fake server trick then turn all schedule to manual
To prevent Compaction
1.As much as possible free your program memory and install all programs in the SD of CF (if possible)
2.Move all cache to SD or CF (memmaid or SKtools can do this)
Registry: ActiveSync Manually
The above Activesync fix will also fix the problem many are having with not being able to turn on their WM6 unit.
JUST TO MAKE SURE ACTIVESYNC IS MANUALLY ACTIVATED:
You can also check the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{176F 4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B}\Settings] SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled (x)
Where x is one of the following:
0=Manually synchronize
5=5 minutes. Default value.
15=15 minutes
30=30 minutes
60=60 minutes
120=2 hours
240=4 hours
Here is real fix for A2DP problem on any custom hx2000 firmwares (e.g. 3.50, 3.52, WM6).
Download this cab file: Udillak_A2DP_Fix_for_hx2000_custom_firmwares.cab
Install it, make softreset and relax with working sound and controls of your bluetooth headphones.
Hello,
Since I've installed WM6 on my hx2790b it's great for everything but the PIM...
It's impossible to add a contact, an appointment, etc... It tells me "An unexpected error has occurred in this program." And it's impossible to synchronize the PIM with my PC
Any idea ?
Try to flash rom again, but you must do clean reset before (holding 1+power+3+ and stylus-reset). After successful update, u must do a clean reser again (on screen "formatting ps").
Synchronizing with PC, you must use the latest ActiveSync 4.5.

Calibrating your Battery
Read this:

Calibrating your Battery
Power issues you may experience with your iPAQ over time:
* Unit fails to Power On
* Unit fails to charge 100% only holding 50% of the charge
Important: If you experience problems with power on your unit the fault may not be with the main battery. Swap testing the battery with a known good working battery may show the same fault. Calibrating your unit by running the 'Battery Calibration' test may resolve 'Power Related Issues'. You must follow the tests below exactly for good results.
1. Charge the unit for 30 minutes (No More, No Less) only powered by AC Adapter and 22-pin connector and not connected to the PC/Cradle (make sure the unit is switched/powered off).
2. Remove the power and full 'Hardware Reset' and then 'Soft Reset'.
3. Charge the unit again for 4 hours connected to ac power only. By following the procedure exactly as outlined in the steps above this will enable full calibration of the battery with the unit (make sure the unit remains switched/powered off during this charge period).
Note: After a software reset the power Leds (Light Emitting Diodes) should now be on and the battery should be showing 100%. If the unit still fails on power do the following checks:
*Test the AC Adapter at another location/power source.
*Swap test The AC Adapter if possible.
THIS WILL HELP BATTERY DRAINED ISSUE of WM6.0 in some HX2000 series; USING SKTOOL or MEMMAID:
1. KILL BioDtect in Windows Startup
2. Set Credant Manager in StartupService as MANUAL and STOP.
3. Set Standby into 24 Hr in Power Setting
4. Soft reset
5. DO NOT EVER EVER RECHARGE YOUR IPAQ USING USB in the CRADLE!!! RECHARGE YOUR IPAQ USING CABLE POWER SUPPLY ADAPTOR!!!
Bricked My Ipaq! hx2795... HELP!!
Hi,
I just got an Ipaq hx2795 and I upgraded to WM6, and it worked perfectly!. However, I saw a supposedly upgraded version of WM6 and i tried to install it, and too hastily I think. I did it without first removing my SD and CF cards. the upgrade said it went through ok on the PC, but it froze on the PPC, about halfway. ever since then, I've only been able to bring up the pda in pre-BL mode. Whenever I attempt to re-load any ROM (WM5 or WM6), I get the error message that the language of my current ROM is unknown and hence, the upgrade cannot go through. To further complicate my problem, I was trying to recover it about 3 nights ago and accidentally left the pda on all night in pre-BL mode. Now I think the battery is dead and I do not know how to charge it. Is there any resource or anyone that can help me with this problem? Is there a way to load the rom and Ignore the language setting on the Ipaq? What should I do now? HELP!!
Please let me know ASAP and Thanks!!

Thanks for the assistance, however the flash keeps on saying that my pda's language is "unknown" and hence stops the upgrade as a result. What do i do about this?

WM6 hx2795 and WiFi
Hello everyone,
I just came across this forum today, and was very happy to. I flashed my rom from wm5 to wm6 and definitely like wm6 more.
Now for my bug. I'm using an hx2795. Wi-Fi worked in wm5, now after I flashed the WiFi manager will connect to a AP then says 'Driver not loaded.' and disconnect. I saw Anavas' post in the "i will pay..." thread and said that wifi was working on his. So, I'm guessing it's possible to have wifi on this model. I'm hoping he/she or someone else can help me out? It's just strange that it seems to start working (can shortly do SiteSurvey as well sometimes)...
As can be guessed the driver update from HP doesn't work (incorrect revision error).
Resetting makes it works for a short time, but then I get the 'Driver not loaded' thing.
/* EDIT
* This only appears to happen when in the cradle. I took it out and it didn't give me anymore problems...weird, maybe something to do with connecting through usb vs wi-fi conflict?
*/
Thanks a bunch.
CE OS 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1)
hi,
I checked with my hx2795 and I don't have any problem connecting WiFi so far,
I can able to connect it from my home and the office.
I even checked with the cradle, I have no problem,
Have you done a hard reset once you flashed the ROM, or did you install any other driver / software ?
I used my ppc at school all day today, and plugged it in cradle just now. I can't repeat the error, so I have no idea how, but it's working just fine. So....solution was to do nothing and let it go away, haha.

Great Job. Thanks From Portugal.
NEW: I created new unlocks for (almost) all Samsung WP7 devices, including 2nd generation devices like Focus S and Omnia W! More info here. Guides will be updated as soon as possible!
In Mango there is a new type of lock: INTEROP-LOCK
Normal WP7 apps are Silverlight or XNA apps. They run managed code. Some apps also use native code (C++), but Microsoft restricts the use of native code to certain selected partners, because native code is more sensitive to errors and need higher care. But there are no real boundaries for running native code on WP7 devices, as I explained here. If your device is AppHub- or ChevronWP7-unlocked, you can run the apps with native code. For example the Version and Language tool from this thread uses native code, but it can run on normal unlocked devices. But there are also apps that need access to drivers on your phone. These apps need the Interop Services capability. This capability is only allowed to software from Microsoft and from OEM's. But many homebrew apps need this capability too, to get higher privileges for tweaking your device. The new Interop Lock means that this capability is locked down. So, even when you have a legit AppHub-unlock or ChevronWP7 Labs unlock, you still can't side-load apps that need higher privileges to run. For example WP7 Root Tools needs this capability to run. But when your device is INTEROP-LOCKED it will show error 0x81030120 when you try to deploy it to your device.
Contable and Marvin_S did research on it and found that the registry setting MaxUnsignedApp is responsible for the INTEROP-LOCK. I did more research and I identified the code that is responsible for this check. In fact, if you have the MaxUnsignedApp value set to 300 or higher, your interop will be unlocked. The value of MaxUnsignedApp is determined by the type of developer-unlock you have. A normal AppHub account will have it set to 10 and a student account will have it set to 3. So a value of 300 or higher is not a realistic value for a normal developer account. It is probably only set to this value for Microsoft employees and OEM developers.
Until now, the only way to do an INTEROP-UNLOCK for MANGO meant that you have to downgrade to NoDo first, then prepare your device by loading provxml files to your device, upgrade to MANGO and then use OEM tools to execute the provxml files and do the necessary unlocks. But that is a lot of work and for some devices not even possible, because there are simply no ROM's available.
So I wanted to allow people with MANGO shipped on their device and using a legit developer unlock, to use WP7 Root Tools and other MANGO-compatible homebrew apps.
I have developed a method to do this. I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and it works on my device. It should also work on Samsung Focus. ATLien68 brought to my attention that it is also possible for LG devices to do an Interop Unlock on Mango. So I created a guide for LG too.
This only works on devices that already have a developer-unlock!
DISCLAIMER
I will not take any responsibility for any damages caused directly or indirectly from using the software-package or the instructions. Read the instructions thoroughly and proceed carefully!
BACKUP
You may want to make a backup of your device in case something goes wrong. This is what I do to make a backup:
1. Download hx4700 Killer's WP7 Backup version 1.6 from this thread. Note that I use version 1.6, not 1.8.
2. Download this archive. It is from xboxmod's WP7 Update Cab Sender thread.
3. Use Zune 4.8 final (4.8.2345.0).
4. Setup-UpdateWP 4.8 beta 3 from the archive.
5. Extract the "Tools" folder from the archive.
6. Setup the Backup tool to reference Zune.exe and the UpdateWP.exe in the extracted Tools-folder.
7. Create your backup. The backup app will allow you to archive any previous backup. Your phone will restart and go in Download-mode. When the backup is finished, the app will tell you to disconnect. Even though your phone says you still can't disconnect, you can safely disconnect the phone and it will restart.
SAMSUNG
WARNING!! The new Samsung Omnia 7 KK2 update will prevent the use of Interop Unlock and WindowBreak! This Samsung Firmware update is accompanied with the 7.10.8107.79 if you update with Zune. Other Samsung devices are probably affected too, but I don't know if the update code for those device is KK2 too. If you are already unlocked, this update will not relock your device. If you want to keep the possibility of Interop Unlock open, then use the method described in this thread to update to 7.10.8107.79 without updating to Samsung KK2!
1. Download the software package Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap.
2. Connect your phone to your desktop computer, running Zune.
3. Check for updates and let all pending updates install.
4. Uninstall the Samsung Diagnosis app.
5. Dial ##634# to install the latest Samsung Diagnosis app.
6. Use any Windows Phone App Deployment tool to install Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap.
7. Run the Samsung Diagnosis app. You should see version 1027, 1122 or 0103 at the top. The version is the compile-date without year. So version 0103 is actually newer than 1122. Versions from before 2010/10/27 do not seem to work. If you have such an old version of the Diagnosis App you need to run the latest Samsung Update (Mango Drivers) from Zune or update manually as described here. After the update you need to perform step 4 and 5 again.
8. In the Diagnosis app dial: *#9908#
9. Select "Heathcliff74 Interop Unlock"
10. Tap "Save", tap "Close" and exit the Diagnosis app. You are now unlocked, but your 3G settings are screwed (side-effect).
11. To repair your 3G settings use one of these six options:
---- 11.1. NEW: This option only works on 1st generation Samsungs. Download "Samsung Repair 3G by Heathcliff74.xap" and run it on your phone. It should work immediately.
---- 11.2. Use the Diagnosis app (thanks to Vintage144 for the tip).
-------- 11.2.1. Open up the Diagnosis app.
-------- 11.2.2. Dial this to enable autoconfigure sim setting: *#94765# (or dial 40*047#3, it's the same - more diagnosis codes here)
-------- 11.2.3. It will ask you to restart the device. Confirm that.
---- 11.3. If your device is not locked to a specific operator, you can use the Samsung Network Profile app (for 1st generation) or Wireless Manager (for 2nd generation)
-------- 11.3.1. Uninstall the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
-------- 11.3.2. Download and install the latest version of the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app from the Marketplace.
-------- 11.3.3. Open the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
-------- 11.3.4. Select a different Network Operator.
-------- 11.3.5. Now Select your own Network Operator again.
-------- 11.3.6. Exit the Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
---- 11.4. Use lyriquidperfection's Samsung Tools (probably only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.4.1 Download the Samsung Tools here.
-------- 11.4.2. Deploy the tools to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock)
-------- 11.4.3. Start "Samsung Tools"
-------- 11.4.4. Select "Run ADC"
-------- 11.4.5. Tap "Reboot"
---- 11.4. Use WP7 Root Tools for manual repair (I will add an option to repair 3G in the next version, currently only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.5.1. Download WP7 Root Tools here.
-------- 11.5.2. Deploy WP7 Root Tools to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock).
-------- 11.5.3. Open WP7 Root Tools.
-------- 11.5.4. In the registry editor navigate to Local Machine\System\AutoDataconfig.
-------- 11.5.5. Set value ConfigurationStatus to 0 and set value RunADC to 1.
-------- 11.5.6. Restart your phone.
---- 11.6. Use TouchXperience Advanced Config Tool 1.4 (thanks to Ludovic B. for the tip, probably only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.6.1. Download Advanced Config Tool here.
-------- 11.6.2. Deploy Advanced Config Tool to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock).
-------- 11.6.3. Open Advanced Config Tool.
-------- 11.6.4. Go to "Tweaks" and scroll down.
-------- 11.6.5. Check "Run Auto Data Config".
-------- 11.6.6. Scroll down and tap "Reboot phone".
Resolve Samsung connection problems
Thanks for this info to lulede!!
A lot of Samsung owners have complained here about connection problems. They blamed Interop Unlock, but apparently this has more to do with enabling "Internet Connection Sharing" than with "Interop Unlock". You should be able to recover the connection, apply this:
1. Start Diagnosis App> *#32489#
2. Tap "Back" 2 times to go back to Phone Control
3. Choose: [7] Network Control
4. Choose: [1] GFC
5. Choose: [3] Setting Cancellation
Wait for it to say success, then reboot.
LG
1. Install the MFG app by dialing: ##634#
2. Open the MFG app. The password is: appmfg#*#
3. Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
4. Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
5. Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"
6. Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD.
7. Leave input data box empty and tap "SET".
8. The output should be 0.
9. Now enter "1" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
10. The output should be 1.
11. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
12. Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD.
13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
14. Output result should be "0".
15. Set your input key to "PortalUrlInt" and set to DWORD.
13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
14. Output result should be "0".
15. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install"
16. Set your input key to "MaxUnsignedApp" and set to DWORD.
17. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
18. The output should be 0.
19. Now enter "2147483647" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
20. Output result should be "2147483647".
HTC
I didn't do this hack for HTC's all by myself. This hack is a joint collaboration of XDA members. A valuable part of this hack was done by Kounadisk and GoodDayToDie. Thanks to them!
Also thanks to CeesHeim for arranging a hand-on HTC device for me to test with.
This hack need the HTC Connection Setup app. HTC Arrive can't run the HTC Connection Setup app. Therefore this hack will not work on HTC Arrive. Verizon Wireless Trophy users should follow slightly different steps. Scroll down for instructions that are specifically meant for Verizon Wireless Trophy.
Developer unlock can be either AppHub or Chevron Labs.
Important note: From what I understand, HTC has released *two* OEM updates after Mango. The first one was released together with Mango and included the first Mango drivers from HTC. I will call those the HTC Mango Drivers v1. The second one is being rolled out now and is by other people referred to as the "tethering update". This update also contains updated drivers. I will call those the HTC Mango Drivers v2. If you have a 1st generation HTC device, you may or may not have installed the HTC Mango Drivers v1 or v2. If you are on Mango with Interop Lock, you may need this hack to perform Interop Unlock. The HTC Mango drivers have extra protection which will reject the configuration settings for Interop Unlock. The current hack for HTC defeats the extra protection in HTC Mango Drivers v1. But in HTC Mango Drivers v2 there is an even more advanced protection, which is a breaking change that causes the Interop Unlock to fail. The second generation HTC devices (HTC Radar / HTC Titan) come with the HTC Mango Drivers v2 preloaded. So currently only First generation HTC Mango devices can only be Interop Unlocked if there are no HTC Mango updates or only HTC Mango Drivers v1. So the first generation HTC devices that also have the HTC Mango Drivers v2 and the second generation HTC devices can currently not be Interop Unlocked. I am looking for an exploit in the HTC Mango Drivers v2. If you have a first generation HTC device and you have the HTC Mango Drivers v2 and you still have a backup from before that last update, you can restore that backup and apply Interop Unlock. You can update to the latest drivers again and preserve the Interop Unlock.
There are also users with 1st generation HTC devices only HTC Mango Drivers v1, who report that this is not working. This can be fixed. These people should read the notes at the end of this guide!
1. Make sure you have a backup of your device (scroll up for instructions)
2. Make sure you hava a backup of your backup (No kidding! Zune may overwrite the backup you made. Here's the backup: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update)
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.
5. Download and install HTC Connection Setup on your HTC device (if you don't have it already)
6. Start HTC Connection Setup.
7. Tap the three dots in the down-right corner of your screen and tap "manual select".
8. Tap on the country. This will open a list of countries you can select.
9. In the country-list scroll to "Interop Unlock" and select it.
10. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished.
11. Tap "Done" to exit the app.
12. Now open "Connection Setup" again. This is to prevent Connection Setup opening when you restart your device.
13. It will show you your current operator.
14. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished again.
15. Tap "Done" to exit the app.
Note for people who don't have this working: I changed the order of the steps in the guide a little bit. If you have attempted to deploy other hacks using HTC Connection Setup (GoodDayToDie version for Interop Unlock or something else) it could be that the files that were deployed are blocking this new hack. You should try to uninstall HTC Connection Setup, restart your phone and then follow the the steps in the guide again (with changed order). Hope that works for you.
Steps for Verizon Wireless Trophy users (thanks to LiFePo4 for modified instructions):
1. Make sure you have a backup of your device (scroll up for instructions)
2. Make sure you have a backup of your backup (No kidding! Zune may overwrite the backup you made. Here's the backup: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update)
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.
5. Download and install HTC Connection Setup on your HTC device (if you don't have it already)
6. Go to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to GSM. Exit back to main screen and wait for data connection to go away (there will be a little box with the crossed circle in the upper left where connection status is shown).
7. Start HTC Connection Setup.
8. Tap the three dots in the down-right corner of your screen and tap "manual select".
9. Tap on the country. This will open a list of countries you can select.
10. In the country-list scroll to "Interop Unlock" and select it.
11. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished.
12. Make sure you perform step 12 and 13 directly after each other! Tap "Done" to exit the app. This will take you back to the applist.
13. Quickly Uninstall HTC Connection Setup and never allow it to run again.
14. Power off and back on phone.
15. Go back to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to CDMA. Exit to main screen and verify 3G is there.
16. Go back to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to Global. Exit.
17. Uninstall the HTC Interop Unlock.xap
This method does not loose 3G (HTC connection setup really does no good with the CDMA network so it used only once for Interop Unlock; if it ever runs a second time it screws up the CDMA data connection).
Note to people who have trouble with their HTC Connection Setup restarting automatically on every reboot of the device, or having problems with their data connection:
Normally the Connection Setup should be restored automatically with this hack. But if something goes wrong, it is possible that your HTC Connection Setup is left in a unservicable state. I that case follow these steps:
1. Download and deploy the attachment: Repair HTC CS.xap
2. Run Connection Setup.
3. Apply settings of your operator.
4. Uninstall Repair HTC CS.
That should do it.
Note to everybody: Please report success and failure, including all device specs and abnormalities (errors etc)! I want to improve the guide as much as possible!
Have fun with homebrew now!

Dude you have the legendary tools .
So, if I just have a Mango device that is Dev unlocked, I can use this and get a "full unlock" on my phone ?
I really would like to know if it works on one of the HTC leaked roms. I really want to upgrade due to the better performance, DLNA support, better radio, etc but, I can't get a "full unlock" on it due to not going back to NoDO (and there is NO backup rom for the Verizon HTC Trophy, Yes, I have looked).
Does this have the INTEROP tag in the app ? If it does not, it should install no problem on a dev unlocked device.
Almost tempted to go back to NoDo and upgrade with only a Dev unlock to 7720 to try this, if I can get a full unlock from that point, I know it will work and this would be epic !
This sounds awsome if it works on HTC devices....
Crossing fingers....
i have tried deploying it on my htc mozart. it gives an error message saying 'the program has been blocked by group policy'
no LG support yet?
(I don't need it but thought I'd ask anyway)
thanks
Ok. Not working as expected
The good news: It still seems to be working on Samsung! But you will need an updated version of the xap. I will post it in a few minutes.
I tried to deploy CustClear.provxml to \Windows. On my device that seemed to work. I thought I had disabled my root-access. But I forgot to disable some of my policies. The result was that I had access to write to \Windows this way, while 'normal' device don't have that.
But I still seem to have write-access to \provxml for Samsung. I double-checked it now.
I will update the opening post.
Sorry to HTC users
Ciao,

"FullUnlock" is a prove-of-concept from Cotulla. You can read about it here. FullUnlock is a way to run native executables.
This is slightly different. I called this "Interop Unlock". Interop locking is meant to block native code in a Silverlight app. All your normal apps are Silverlight apps. Many homebrew apps are Silverlight apps that use native code, like WP7 Root Tools. The method described in this thread is to allow Silverlight apps use native code. This is not for native executables.
Read more about the different type of unlock here.
Most custom roms already have this kind of unlock. This is primary meant for devices with Mango shipped on it.
This app does not have the Interop-flag in it. It is meant to allow to deploy other apps with the Interop flag that previously would not install.
Anyway, for now this seems to be working only on Samsungs. So unfortunately no HTC support as yet.

Gosh I wish the Dell Venue Pro had cool stuff, I am almost to the point of giving up hope. Ill never lose my NODO backup just in case thanks cliff
Heathcliff, you never cease to amaze me. Great work. One issue though. The Network Profile app doesn't work on my AT&T Focus, when I open it up it says "It cannot be used if in a locked state by mobile operator. If I click OK it won't let me change from AT&T.
But the good news is I was able to install your new root tools now! No rolling back to Nodo needed. I just need a way to fix my 3G without network profile
EDIT: I just tried installing the "unofficial" network profile app that works on locked phones, but the app doesn't open. It goes right back to the start screen.
EDIT 2: OK I think I have 3G back. I installed Samsung Tools by lyriquidperfection here, I selected Set 'Run ADC' flag at next boot. I now have my 3G logo back. He included the source for the xap, maybe you could include this with your xap that we can run?
Awesome!!!!!!!! Works perfectly!
I've always been able to install apps with "ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES". However I can never run them as they crash right away. I was really excited when I first heard of this today but now i'm just confused.
ANyone with a HTC device confirm this works ?
Nice! Worked perfectly for me (Samsung Focus) I did have to use Samsung Tools to get my 3G back since I couldn't use the Network thingy but that wasn't a problem since my phone can now sideload interop apps.
What Omnia7 ROM have you flashed, so that can get the newest Diagnosis app? I have flashed the newest WP7_Product NoDo Rom (I8700XXKC1_XXKB2) and it comes with Diagnosis ver.0103. Uninstalling and re-entering Diagnosis mode, installs the same old version.

Please Help me...the trick works but i'm not able to get my 3g connection working again...I didn't understand the "samsung network profile" thing in the guide before doing the trick and now i'm without connection...how can I repair it? I'm from Italy and i have an omnia 7 and i'm not able to find the app "samsung network profile" in my marketplace...you can just tell me how to go back, it's not a problem if i'll lose the interop-unlock...

I live on a boat, and wanted to use my phone as a gps source with opencpn ... turns out it wasn't too hard. Thought I'd share with the class.
You'll need com0com or some other virtual com modem. Either that, or send it directly out to a nmea 2.3 network over serial.
com0com 64bit download: available here
com0com 32bit download: available here
2 Scenarios are available, to use with software on your computer:
1. Download and install com0com for your computer architecture, the drivers are not signed by Microsoft so it will warn you of this, just say install anyway.
2. Sideload the xap to your phone
3. Run connector provided with the gpskit attachment.
4. Run the app on the phone, taking care to ensure the device is tethered to the computer being used and Zune is running.
5. Press enable.
6. If everything is running fine, you should see updates from the phone in the connector console window.
7. Running Google Earth:
- Start Google Earth
- Click Tools->GPS
- Select the realtime tab
- Set up options or just use the defaults
7. Setting up OpenCPN
- Start OpenCPN
- Click the wrench icon (toolbox)
- Select the GPS Tab
- type into the NMEA Data source the other com port (if you are using defaults: CNCB0)
8. Track away at your position
To use with an existing NMEA Network:
1. Sideload the xap to the phone
2. Start the gpskit client on the computer, and enter 9060 as the default service port and the com address of the NMEA connector that is connected to the computer.
3. Run the app on the phone ensuring that it is connected to the computer by usb and Zune is running.
And that's it, you can use your WP7 device as an external GPS device.
gpskit command line:
gpskit.exe [-p service port -c serial port] [-v] [-s]
-s must be supplied if -p and -c are provided
-v turns on verbosity and debug messages
Good hunting

You'll need com0com or some other virtual com modem. Either that, or send it directly out to a nmea 2.3 network over serial.
Simply upload it to your phone, make sure its tethered to the computer via usb, then run the app and push enable.
On your computer run NMEATest and the service port is 9060, and then a com port to write to the nmea data to. Fakegps is a service I wrote that basically uses the defaults of NMEATest and would work whenever the app was running on the phone. However, I cannot guarantee it will work and I wouldn't recommend using it. However, it contains the library that nmeatest requires and I'm not a big fan of copy/paste.
To use it with your application like google earth, opencpn simply download a virtual null modem like com0com and then point it to one of the default com ports it creates. After that, start up the app like normal and with the software running google earth will catch it under tools/gps/live menus
Have a very spledid day, I'm going sailing.
PS. I'm not sure how mono treats the serialport class ... so maybe it'll work on linux? Someone let me know.

Hi withinboredom
Could you please recommend null modem software for an x64 machine? Also, the instructions are not that clear.
Thank you very much for putting this together.
Cheers

Just edited the post, that should make it a bit easier.
Uploaded a new version with command line switches
Further instructions needed I think

Hi withinboredom
I'm still can not seem to get this to work. Here is what I did:
Disabled UAC and put Windows 7 into Test Mode to allow unsigned drivers
Installed 64-bit version of com0com
Renamed the two virtual ports to COM17 and COM18 using the com0com graphical setup utility
Sideloaded the App onto my phone, started it and enabled the service
Started GPSKit.exe
In the command line window I set the service port to 9060 and set the Serial Port to COM17
I did not get any information showing up from the phone
Opened Google Earth and set GPS to realtime tracking
When I clicked "Start" it scanned through the ports and stopped at "reading COM17" but did not seem to provide any GPS information.
I followed the same procedure again but this time set the Serial Port to COM18 in the GPSKit.exe command line window which lead to the same result.
Can you please tell me what I have done wrong?
Thanks
andrew-in-woking
Make sure Zune is running and recognizing the phone before starting the service on the computer. Also make sure that pressing enable is the LAST thing you do before starting google earth (if you push it too early, you can press it again to start the connection over again - good for force refreshing the position if the phone decides to stop getting it.)
Yes, working now

No position with opencpn or maxsea
Hi
this is the perfect solution for me, but i cant get a location with opencpn or maxsea. with google earth it is working. any ideas?
I can see that opencpn recieves data from gps, but cant show position.
I found someone with the same problem at opencpn forums. This problem is fixed in the latest beta of Opencpn.
It may have something to do with this:
"I suspect the NMEA sentences do not have CR/LF line endings. They may have only CR, or only LF.
For instance, GPRMC will be "Unrecognized" if the line endings are not correct, although it looks right to the eye."
Any chance you could check this? if this is fixed i can also use this with maxsea.
OK password forgotten you still can use the device, but you'll need a smartphone with mobile data and turn on the "Mobile hotspot". on the checking for software updates a.s.a.p. turn off the mobile hotspot it will say could not connect
UPDATE 1. for those who do not have access to hotspot. be prepared to disable your wifi at your modem.
agree to the next prompts it will ask you if you want to set up security create a 4-digit PIN i suggest 1234. After you create the 4-digit PIN, you turn off the tablet and turn it on again.
When the tablet is on again and "Enter PIN" appears, don't worry if you don't see the camera icon on the display. What you need is the USER icon (what I mean is that "human face" icon which is located on the TOP RIGHT CORNER). Click that "human face" icon, then you'll see "Add user" so click on that "Add user". Follow through as a new user, you'll need to create a Samsung account or if you have one already you'll need to log into your Samsung account. UPDATE 2. I SKIPPED THIS ACCOUNT SETUP.
UPDATE 3. You'll have 2 users, you will not be able to erase the first one.
now you have access to storage place the this https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...FRP_REMOVE.apk
to downloads run the app on install.
full tool here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...pps Full.zip
go back to users first user owner tap it you will log in to that account it will say set up tablet drag the notification bar down software update smart switch ignore it enable WiFi connect to any one you can then tap setup tablet follow i will ask for a password i skipped it and got in and went to settings now i had access to backup and reset full wipe done smile
Thanks to everyone who has worked on this i have updated these instructions Originally Posted by dama0002

FYI again for those who done have access to hotspot be prepared to disable your wifi at your modem timing is important.
i hope it helps
