Hi
there was a bug with this encryption software, Secubox v. 1.4.2, on the Touch HD.
When reading files from an encrypted volume the device was freezing, and it needed a soft reset to reboot. And only a soft-reset by pressing the red button in the device.
I sent an e-mail to the editor aikosolutions about that, and they offered me a beta version of the 1.5 Secubox, to check if the bug is still there.
I'm worried about something with this beta version.
Here is what they say:
"The beta has been signed with a test
root certificate (we need to sign it to avoid memory allocation
problems).
So, to test the beta, please, do the following:
1. Download and install the test root certificate from
www.aikosolutions.com/(...)TestRootCert.cab
2. After that install SecuBox -
www.aikosolutions.com/(...).arm.cab
I am looking forward to hearing from you,"
(I changed the URLs because i'm not sure I have a right to publish them...)
What I'm worried about is the "TestRootCert.cab"
Does anyone here know what it can be? Of cource I'm a noob, but rootcert makes me think about rootkit, and I wonder if this file can be a spyware sending them what I do with the software, or what file or kind of file I encrypt...Maybe just for statistics issues for them, maybe worse...
And I don't understand what they mean with the memory allocation...
Can someone explain this to me? Does is make any sense about Touch HD software programming?
Thanks.
No one knows what is a test root cert?
My guess would be something like the SDKcerts that allow an unsigned program to run. but why bother have you tried FreeOTFE for PDA? works well mounts Encrypted volumes .. has both desktop and pda inter-compatible offers TwoFish, AES, Serpent ect can do full partition encryption and its Free Open app http://www.freeotfe.org/
FreeOTFE4PDA doesn't have these problems
FreeOTFE4PDA doesn't have these problems - I switched to FreeOTFE4PDA; it's open source so completely free (unlike Secubox), and has a PC version so I'm not limited to just using it on my Touch HD
Take a look at: www.FreeOTFE.org
Hi. I just recently purchased an HTC Touch Pro2 from T-Mobile running WinMo 6.5. That being said, I have not been able to open any cab files on the device to install some software. Basically I'll transfer the cab to the device and attempt to open it. I get one of three messages depending on the app I guess. the most basic is "Installation was unsuccessful" to "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting...not digitally signed...trusted certificate" (this was from MobileFTPClient). Installing Opera Mini 5 gives a simple: "Installation of mini5wm.cab was unsuccessful".
Ok, so being a software developer for 10 years I've been looking into some registry values and can't seem to find what I need to get anything to install. If I download from the Windows Marketplace that's all good, but nothing else.
What do I need to do to be able to install cab flils directly? Honestly if I can't get this to work this phone is going back. I moved from an iPhone to this phone specifically so I can install apps and monkey around with the device, but so far I'm done before I started.
Thanks for any info you can give me.
its in one of your phone/device settings to let u download and install apps or cabs not digitally signed. thats all, i believe. just find it and check it off. or look for advanced config cab if u can find it and install that. it has an option in there also to let u download/install whatever..

The cab I have attached may help you...it's some SDK certificates that will allow installation of certain unsigned apps, but I don't know if this is what the ones you're running are requiring and missing. It won't harm anything to try this one, and you can easily uninstall it if it doesn't do the trick
Thanks guys. Sirphunkee - that cab actually installed, but I'm having the same problem. Another forum has suggested that I take the device back to T-Mobile, but it just seems like there's a setting that's not right in the OS. Demandarin - I've looked for various security permissions in the UI with no luck. I've mucked around with some Policy values in the registry per some threads on this forum, but still nothing.
I'll keep trying, and thanks.
So...weird; Opera Mini and Weather Bug (well known apps) wouldn't install, but an SMS notification disable cab installed (from the xda site) as did Evernote (evernote.com). I have no clue what the deal is, but it's getting beyond stupid that I can't install just any cab file.

Have you already installed .Net 3.5? It's a framework that many other programs use (and need) to install, and it's not on the TP2 by default...it's the only other think I could think of that would keep you from installing stuff. Cab is attached, if you don't have it already.
Got it. I installed the Device Security Manager PowerToy and was able to change the configuration there. Opera Mini 5 just installed.
Never would have thought the phone would come that locked down, but so far so good. Thanks for all of the ideas.

Well yeah what's weird is that I never had to use that to get any of those apps installed
HTC new drivers Mango Rom will not allow old system apps to get root access, like TouchXplorer does not work on 4.xx above roms.So these days i found a way to make my custom rom based on htc 5.10 rom work perfect with old system apps.
Step 1
get an old htc offical rom, like 1.xx, get a htc offical 4.0x rom.dump them.copy HTCFileUtility.dll and HTCRegUtility.dll from 1.xx rom dump, and HTCProvisionDrv.dll from 4.0x rom dump.(they are both in OEM\HTC_AppDrivers)
Step 2
use the three files(modules) copied above to replace your custom rom, if u are using 4.0x rom as your base skip step 3.
Step 3
replace the ApprovedlistDB.db(in OEM\CSConn_DB) by my uploaded one.
Step 4
use OSBuilder to relloc your modules, or relloc them by yourself(just like me, cause OSBuilder is hard for me to understand how to use it)
Step 5
package your custom rom, and flash it, then you will get a new rom that TouchXplorer and RegistryEditor(this works much faster than before) can work like charm
Step 6

Would be awesome if there was a way to restore the old versions in-place without re-flashing the whole phone. CAB maybe? I don't think you can overwrite ROM modules any other way. I've avoided installing the latest HTC updates because I've written a couple apps that rely on the File and Reg DLLs, but that also means I don't have things like the Connected Media app working.

if you can put files in \windows folder, and change reg key under HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\, you can make it works without flash a rom.
cause we could get drivers from htc orginal update cabs then rename them to put into \windows folder and change reg key to make these drivers load, no need to replace.
Well, if you care about this at all, you're already interop-unlocked.
If you're interop-unlocked, then you can set registry values and move files (using provxml).
So... yes, this sounds pretty exciting. Having the official HTC updates but still being able to use TouchXplorer would be awesome.
So, would it just be a matter of copying the old files under new names to the Windows folder and changing the "Dll" value of "HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\HTCFileUtility" and such? Or would something need to be done with the DB as well? I'm not sure if that can be changed on a running device.
Tell me what needs to be done and I'll create a tool to do it.

you are on the way, m8.
get drivers from htc update cab, then u'll get files not modules
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\HTCFileUtility]
"Dll"="HTCFileUtility_new.dll"
if you make new HTCFileUtility.dll work, you will have enough power to replace files.
then make your new reg drivers work.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\HTCRegUtility]
"Dll"="HTCRegUtility_new.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\HTCProvisionDrv]
"Dll"="HTCProvisionDrv_new.dll"
thanks for sharing, waiting for this method for along time.
Thanks ted. I'll update my backup (so I can roll back to working version if I need to) and go hunt down those files.
I don't think I'll need to overwrite HTCProvisionDrv, the current version seems to work just fine. In fact, if it doesn't, there won't be any way to do the overwrite. It's just the registry and filesystem drivers that were broken.
Now I'm wondering what the other HTC drivers do. There's a specific one for Connection Setup and for HTC YouTube, plus drivers for "HTCBgService" (a way to run tasks in the background, I assume) and "HTCVersionUtility" (probably not useful, but maybe?). It would be interesting to examine the APIs of those.
For that matter, it would be interesting to examine the API of things like the provision driver. It appears to have full permissions, but the DMXMLCOM.DLL library used to interface with it has a fairly limited API (no way to get the result of a provxml query, for example). Talking directly to the driver may work better.
Anyhow, off to find the correct CAB!
Sounds pretty awesome! New drivers in Mango with support for old apps - cool! Really hoping for a tool to do this, i've never cooked my own ROM, I solely rely on the experts for this
Hi Ted (or anybody), do you knwo where I can get the pre-Mango HTC cabs? All the cabs I've been able to find are for the Mango HTC updates, and have the wrong versions of the files.
EDIT: Found some that might work. They aren't labeled but the datestamp is from January.
Pretty sure xboxmod has a thread with all the official cabs linked somewhere on xda.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Thanks. I'll see if the files I found work. They're old enough, and are supposedly from an official update, but it's hard to be sure. Their file sizes are different from the ones in the latest update, but not by much.
The real trick, of course, is seeing whether I can install my own drivers at all or not. I know I can place files and change registry values, we just have to see if the phone will use them.

Any chance you would release your custom ROM? Can you make one for Trophy, only one using 5.10 version are Ansar's, your's sounds nicer!
Well, I didn't find Xboxmod's cabs, so I'm using the ones linked in Heathcliff74's thread. Unfortunately all the reliable ones are pretty recent, so I don't think they'll work. Last resort I'll try pulling them off my phone's filesystem, but that gets weird with modules.
I've successfully broken TouchXplorer and Connection Setup, and then fixed them again. I think this constitutes progress. Next step: try some older drivers, and see if I can install them without breaking anything. If so, then I'll try updating my phone with the official HTC update, and see if it's still working. If so, I'll clean up the XAP a little and publish.
EDIT: Additional discovery: Connection Setup relies on HTCFileUtility.dll. Installing the broken FileUtility driver causes Connection Setup to complain that there's no database installed on the phone, and then quit. Now I *really* wonder what HTCConnectionSetUp.dll is used for. Also, I'm not gonna touch the Provision driver unless I have to; this testing takes long enough when every step requires a reboot. If I mess up the provision driver I'll probably need to restore the phone backup.
EDIT2: The new HTCConnectionSetUp.dll driver is several times the size of the old one, but it doesn't seem to change how Connection Setup works when I use it. In particular, it still processes CustClear.provxml.
EDIT3: Still not working, even with very old drivers (January). I have a few possible ideas as to why, but it looks like I may need to run this with drivers from my "working" phone instead of from a CAB.
OK, I haven't been able to get this working with any of the DLLs I've been able to pull from CABs, and the DLL modules on the filesystem can't be moved, renamed, or read (ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED when I try to read one using ComFileRW.dll).
I either need the right CAB, the special sauce to make it work with the wrong CAB, or a way to extract those modules as files. I suspect it's at least partially a "special sauce" situation - the errors I get when I try using different drivers are not the same as the errors I get with the official update that breaks third-party apps trying to use those drivers.
I would *REALLY* appreciate some assistance with this. It has the potential to provide an easier interop-unlock (if the official update doesn't reset the driver DLL paths) and even if that doesn't work, it would be a big step forward for HTC homebrew. However, I know nothing about ROM assembly - not even how to extract a file from a shipped ROM. I'm trying to learn, but if somebody wants to point me in the right direction that would be a big help.
EDIT: I managed to extract the ROM module (took some doing; HTCRIE will crash at the drop of a hat if you aren't careful). I can't rebuild the file though - recmod doesn't seem to like it.
if you can use Provxml i have some way to replace module in \Windows dir

@peeks20: Thanks (sort of) but your method is both overly complicated and doesn't solve the actual problem. If you're already interop-unlocked (and you have to be, to use DiagProvXML), then it's trivial to write a small app that just uses DMXMLCOM.dll to process whatever provxml commands you want. That includes copying files to the Windows directory.
The problem is that I'm not sure what file to copy, and I'm not sure it'll work even if I have the right file (I've tried multiple official files from various update CABs, and none of them have worked). There's probably either a version-matching function that's getting in the way, or a database somewhere that needs to register the new drivers (beyind just changing the path in the Dll value in the registry). Heck, maybe it's both. The point is, it doesn't work.
Now, if there's something about deploying the files using the Chevron ringtone installer instead of using pvroxml that will make all the difference, that would be cool. I really doubt it, though. The files copy just fine, and can be accessed and opened. They jut don't actually work. I get the same errors as if I point the Dll path in the registry to completely bogus paths ("Dll"="ThisFileDoesNotExist.dll").

i uploaded HTC Appdrivers from Mozart 1.32 & 4.06 update cabs, maybe you can continue your test
Thanks, I'll give them a try. However, I've got to ask - what is Approvedlist.db, and if you have to modify it for a custom ROM, would I also need to modify it for this app? I can't shake the feeling that there's more to installing a driver than just changing a registry value.

hard for me to explain this in english, this file decides which Registry keys allow apps to change.its format changed in 5.xx rom, so RegistryEditor v1.2.0.0 didn't work on these roms, we need to use old version HTCRegUtility & HTCProvisionDrv and old format ApprovedlistDB.db to make htc apps and 3rd Registry tools works perfect, that's why you need to replace ApprovedlistDB.db.
UPDATE 2: Heathcliff74 has taken a look into the reason that this method wasn't working on phones with the HTC updates for Mango, and appears to have found a work-around! I strongly suggest that people try his version instead of mine. The instructions are similar but not identical. Scroll down to the bottom of this first post and use the HTC Interop Unlock XAP located there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
If you want to post your results in this thread, please specify which XAP you are using, mine or Heathcliff74's. There are known limitations with mine. There still seem to be some limits with his, be we aren't sure exactly what they are yet.
UPDATE: This is disappointing, but apparently HTC has put yet another roadblock in our way. I'm working on a way around the next one. I can't say how long it will take, but I beat the last one (process arbitrary provxml on an interop-locked phone) and I'll beat this one (allow Connection Setup to modify the registry again, after the HTC updates).
I'll update this thread again when I have a new version to test. Guesses as to the problem's root cause, suggestions for fixing it, and anything else you've found are all welcome.
I'm not taking the initial release of the app down, but unless you have an HTC phone which somehow is on Mango, doesn't have the HTC updates, and isn't already interop-unlocked, this isn't going to do anything for you. If you are in that situation, have at it - for now though, I'm just leaving it up so people can download it and pull it apart.
What it does: Modifies your HTC phone to allow maximum unsigned apps, which will also allow you to deploy and run apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. This does not require rolling back to pre-Mango. It is designed for use on stock ROMs. It is expected to work on all GSM HTC Windows Phone 7 devices. It might even work on the Arrive (can't hurt to try). You can read more about Interop Unlock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
What it needs:
HTC Windows Phone (in theory, any of them)
Developer-unlock (AppHub account or ChevronWP7 Labs should be fine)
Connection Setup app (it's in Marketplace under HTC Apps)
What you do:
0) Install Connection Setup, if you haven't already.
1) Start Connection Setup, just to make sure it works. You don't have to do anything, just start it.
2) Exit Connection Setup using the Back button (so it's not running or suspended).
3) Install HtcInteropUnlock.xap. You don't need to run it.
4) Run Connection Setup again.
5) Expand the AppBar menu (... at the bottom) and choose "manual select".
5.a) The Country and Carrier list-picker boxes should become enabled.
5.b) If they don't, hit "manual select" again, it takes two taps on my phone.
6) Tap on Country and select "Phone Customization" (you can use the jump list to get to P quickly).
7) Carrier should automatically change to "Dev and Interop Unlock" (make sure this happens).
8) Hit the check mark at the bottom (AppBar "ok").
9) Make sure it reports success, then hit Done.
10) Try to install / run an interop app (or just install an 11th unsigned app).
Please report what happens, including the following info:
Your phone model (mine is HTC HD7, T-Mobile US branded).
Your version info (mine is 7720, no HTC Mango updates).
Success or failure of the whole operation.
If failure, indicate the exact step that went wrong, and what happened instead.
Be aware: This method does not damage your data connection in any way, but it will probably prevent Connection Setup from working normally. This can be undone. However, I didn't want to put the effort into making it reversible until I knew whether it worked on other phones, so if you need Connection Setup for its official purpose, don't install the initial release of this app.
This app builds on the work of multiple members of our community. Special thanks go to:
Heathcliff74, for researching interop-unlock and discovering the xap-deployer hack.
kounadisk, for researching how to add custom entries to Connection Setup.
I am already interop-unlocked but
OMG I am tempted to roll back to nodo, update the official way then unlock this way!
Watching this thread Kudos!
For what it's worth, I'm interop-unlocked already too, so I haven't actually tested this app on a non-IU phone. However, it should work just fine, provided that Connection setup was installed from the Marketplace.
On the plus side, by using this method you can restore your interop-unlock if you ever lose it (if you IUed the way I did, then an update might cause you to lose IU without being able to get it back the same way - but this method should still work).
that's worked
W00t! Can you please tell me your phone model and software version too? Thanks!

Read the instructions...You just install the app and the follow the other steps. No need to open it.
Nothing special is supposed to happen. The change is invisible. As for the Interop Unlock app itself, it's just a stub - all of the "what it does" is entirely in the install process. Once it's installed, you can even remove the app.
Try installing this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519
If you can install it (without modifying the XAP file) then your interop-unlock worked!
Alternatively, try installing Registry Editor 1.2.0.0 from TouchXperience: http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593. It goes in the Settings hub, but if you can install and run that, then there was great success!

I suspect this might not work if you have the HTC updates installed.... the OP indicated he has not installed any HTC updates
Ok, tried this on my HTC Titan.
I selected "Phone Customization" as country and "Dev and Interop Unlock" as carrier and applied these settings. The Connection Setup app reported that it successfully configured the phone.
But ... it does not seem to have any effect (yet, I hope!). I still can't sideload more than 10 apps.
My Titan is on WP7 version 7.10.7740.16.
Connection Setup app is version 1.12 (build 2119.18323)/
I'm hoping it works anyhow, but it's possible it wouldn't. It really depends what's in those updates.
For example, we know they modified the HTCFileUtility driver in some way, but we don't know exactly how. TouchXplorer stopped working, but Connection Setup (which also uses ComFileRW.dll) still works. I know it works because if it didn't, you wouldn't be able to see the Phone Customization option.
It's possible that the update made some other change that made it impossible to change the MaxUnsignedApp value from within Connection Setup or something unfortunate like that.
I can modify the app to make some more obvious change when Connection Setup does its thing. For example, forcibly change your phone's accent color or some such. Really, though, I'm hoping that won't be needed.
One thing to try is rebooting the phone. I don't think it's required, but it can't hurt and might help.
Can you make it write to a specific registry path and then tell us what that path is. I would like to see if it can at least write to the registry.
Dev/Interop applies from Connection Setup but can't install an app with interop (ansar's USBModeSwitch XAP) enabled (in my case 3rd unsigned app since i have a student account).
Mozart 7720, with latest HTC updates installed.
update: rebooted. not installing still. it auto-starts Connection Setup, ran it again, doesnt work still.
cheers.

Rebooting does not help... Still can't sideload more than 10 apps.
I think it would be a good idea to try and edit some other registry setting in the provxml, that has visible consequences. Then at least we can verify if changing that setting works.
Didnt work for me. Unbranded HD7, HTC Updates 7720.
Sounds promising though
@MJCS: It already writes a test value to the registry:
KEY: HKCU\Software\DeployProvXml
VALUE: InteropUnlock
DATA: "Success" (String)
Can somebody who was already interop-unlocked but has installed the HTC updates use this app, then check if that value exists? It does on my phone, but of course I don't have the HTC updates.
What are the passwords for the dbz files?
Nevermind its 030D681B-1DFC-4bd0-A72A-A9B3CCCDA653
Yeah there must be some sort of time-bomb that clears out the interop setting.

Guys, I'm having kind of a situation here:
I installed Rogers HTC 621 - 1.30.631.2 (WM6)

That I found here:

The problem is that, now, when I want to leave this ROM because I've been having some problems with it, it won't update. I've tried using SDA Unlock but it hasn't worked out. It always shows: unlockable phone, and right after this box it shows: phone unlocked. But it isn't. Could you guys help me solve this problem?!
Whenever I try installing any .cab files it shows the following message:
Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
If you could help me solve this only problem I wouldn't even need to update the ROM...
Try the attached HTC Unlock. It is a wrapped signed registry editor that is scripted to change the relevant Policy settings in the registry. Run the .exe on the PC, it will install the program on the device and you find it in Start -> Accessories -> HTC Unlock.
Basically you need to change the RAPI (Remote API) Policy to allow changes e.g. via SDA Unlock.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, I've tried what you suggested and I'm really thankful, but it didn't work out. I still can't install .cab files and I still can't ulock the cell phone with SDA Security Unlocker because it says "phone is not unlockable".
How I wish anyone could help me...
Did you finally also execute the HTC Unlocker from the Start -> Accessories folder? You should see the registry editor change some settings. For the RAPI part the x'1001 is the policy and it must be set to 1.
There is a more complicated method - doing this by the Microsoft Security Configuration Manager. Hard to find the link to download, look here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=998 This allows to apply dedicated security profiles (sets of Policies) to the device. If this works however also depends on the active settings in the device OS however. You may need to load the Development Certificates first via Menu "Device -> Add Dev..."
Would it not be the easiest case to just revert to the original ROM for the device? There the CID matches when updating and then you don't need the sequence of "old-OS application Unlock, load patched SPL, load new OS" - simply because the original SPL will pass the CID check. Get to http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Excalibur and see if you find it.
Which was the original ROM you had on it?
Problem solved.
After looking in some other posts here on XDA I found many solutions and, by working out on them together, I could finally fix it.
I used SP Allow Certificate, SDK Certs, Exc USPL and, in the end, it really mattered.
Thanks to all you guys who keep up with feeding the forum.
