Help App Unlocking Samsung Propel Pro - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Ive just recently bought a samsung propel pro, and have been getting an error when trying to install cab files on it. After research Ive figured out that i apparently need to app unlock it. Does anyone know how one would go about doing this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Have you tried this:
http://www.mobilejaw.com/articles/2...e-read-only-network-settings-on-blackjack-ii/
It's for the BJII, but it may work. If you could try it and report back any success or failure, that'd be great.
Actually, this is probably where you want to go:
http://www.mobilejaw.com/articles/2008/06/new-network-settings-lock-on-windows-mobile-61-devices/
And one more... if those don't work, try this:
http://www.mobilejaw.com/articles/2...ication-lock-on-htc-s740-smartphone/#more-280

thanks for replying. Ok so i tried the 1st method you suggested and it wouldnt let me install the cab. and i also tried the sda app unlocker and it came up with a message that said the phone is not unlockable. I also tried the second method, and sadly no success there either. I didnt try the third one because i dont feel comfortable editing the registry in my phone. so sorry i couldnt give any feedback on that. Hopefully someone can find a way to do this.

Hi all, new person with the same problem here. I installed the "remove security" cab successfully but am still not able to make registry edits with any of the tools I have (Total Commander, CERegEditor, PHM, etc). I can also confirm that SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe says the phone is unlockable. The "Unlock Registry" tool in CERegEditor doesn't work either. Is it a matter of not having a registry editor that is signed by Samsung? I'm a pretty technical guy so please feel free to make any suggestions you can think of. Thanks in advance!

It may be a matter of needing a registry editor that's signed, period. Were any of the editors you've tried signed? You may want to give something like this a shot:
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...9&platformId=110&productId=217945&sectionId=0
They do have a free trial version, so you could maybe see if it would work without spending money. I have a feeling it probably wouldn't, but it couldn't hurt to try.

Thanks for the suggestion but no dice. The trial version is fully functional but I was still denied access to change the registry. I don't know how to tell if the registry editors I have are signed but I have tried about five or six of them now. Please let me know if you have any other ideas.

Well, not really. The author of CERegistryEditor may have some ideas if you email him, but I'm not sure that it's doable. From what I've been led to believe, WM 6.1 is a whole lot harder to unlock. It's a shame, because the Propel Pro has a really interesting/funky resolution, and has the potential to be a great WM phone.

Hi all,
Thanks jonnycat26 for your time! I found a trick yesterday which will get me by. As you might guess, I was trying to unlock the registry to get tethering throup a WAP instead of the ISP and never could edit the HKLM keys, but I was able to unlock the GPRS settings by going to Windows/UAMgr.exe thanks to this article:
http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=samsung&thread.id=69696&page=2
I was then able to change the settings through the regular menu to match this article:
http://stevenharman.net/blog/archive/2008/10/03/windows-mobile-internet-connection-sharing-hack.aspx
I have to do a little dance where I open UAMgr.exe and unlock the keys again and then start ICS, but it does work (I am posting through ICS right now). By chance do you know why this would be and if there is a smarter way to do this? Thanks again!

Has anyone seen any progress on this phone? It has potential, but I'm amazingly annoyed at it's inability to install almost any application between the ATT lock/permission problem and the odd screen resolution that's breaking apps like cleanRAM.
See: link

Great phone, but seriously handicapped...
It is almost impossible to find software that is not rejected by the application lock: MemMaid, Pocket Mechanic, CorePlayer, Google Mobile all failed.
Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Still searching...
Been googling for days and have not made any progress......Anyone else???
Can't even run mobile shell......

Update...
Found this site with PHM Registry editor that does install on my propel pro....Just use the smartphone,arm .cab and it installs and runs....have not tried changing values but it looks like it will work.
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}

Failed attempt...
The registry editor does install; but, when I run it, the i627 does not allow me to save any changed values.

yep....my mistake....
After I tried changing values I got the error message as well. I've installed chome and am able to change a few settings on the home screen but most of the changes give me the access denied error when trying to change the registry....I'm still hoping that someone will find a way to app unlock this device....I have a feeling that the Jack will be more popular to techies and therefore will be looked at by crackers and developers...Guessing some of these will also work on the Propel Pro......I also noticed that the Wifi radio in this phone is not nearly as powerful as my old Axim....I can not get a fix where my old device used to be able to. Oh well. Maybe its time to look at selling off this locked down toy and look at a different one. HTC here I come......

Propel Pro and Jack App Unlock
OK....so, after hours of googling and as much as I hate to admit it, 'Binging'..I think I have found an answer....First check out this link....and follow the directions therein....after running the microsoft security powertoy, it said my phone was unlocked...no security!!!!
http://pocketnow.com/index.php?a=portal_detail&t=news&id=7565
I am now going to try to modify the registry using these settings....
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2 -> change to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16 -> change to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128 -> change to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies -> create new key "0000101a": Dword = 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies-> create new key "0000101b": Dword = 1
I will report back to confirm that it has worked.......

IT WORKS!!!!
I am able to modify the registry to my liking now folks...it works!!! was able to turn off the media net, as I don't use it, only wifi, and after changing software security, my pocketnester also works......Just follow the directions from my previous post.....I am always looking on the web to techies and am finally happy to contribute....now I think I like this phone....

Have not tried it yet...but I have my registry completely unlocked....I have changed the security for third party apps like this one and have had no trouble. I'll try it tomorrow if I have time....I'll let you know...One more thing, after I ran the Microsoft Powertoy app, I did a soft reset to save changes. I don't know if it needed to be done but I did it anyway......

How to change Keyboard Skin? Advice Please

May be I am asking this question again, but I have tried to search in the forum and unable to find any help.
Recently got XDA-Orbit, I must score it a decent device. I am stuck to change the soft keyboard, I have tried 2 from BuzzDev but no joy, it is also mentioned under the instructions that "You must be running "nocert" ROM (1.60c and above)". Any advice would be greatfull.
Thanks
Sidd
http://buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_remository&Itemid=68&func=select&id=13
Any ideas anyone?
I'm probably not going to be much use, but there will be a dll in the windows folder on it that has the keyboard pics. The problem is that the file will be signed and if you edit it and expect to replace it you'll need to be able to re-sign it. The windows ppc sdk can help you with this; i haven't changed any myself, so i can't sorry!
Thanks for even write something jdl1306, its seems like no one in this forum has came accros with the issue like this, is it possible?
Thanks anyway

Yea, i did try a keyboard skin which was signed and it worked on my wm5 prophet. So i guess, buzz's or the crossbow KB skin have to be signed in order for them to work
I used the "certification off" program which I found on the website below (near bottom of page), this allowed me to install unsigned keyboard skins to the wifes Prophet.
Maybe it'll work for you, let us know.
http://www.pdamagician.com/wm5software.html
This was also discussed on a thread about Happy Tapping Keyboard,
maybe worth a search.

Thanks, i tried the Nocert cab earlier, it didnt work for me. Found a skinned KB from www.miousers.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=1812 (thx to MCCUNE) which installed and worked. Wonder why the MUN's WM6 Kb is not working.
Hope we find a solution.. thanks again

Two Irratating today buttons

I downloaded the LG Today plugin as i liked it very well it also works as promised by the developer! but i can not get rid of the two buttons no matter what!
i can understand from searching using the search function (so DONT accuse me of ignoring it) that you could get rid of it using a Reg Edit software but i have never dared to mess with my regisary (due to past experiances it reg on xp!)
Could Someone please tell or show me what to do!
removing system tray
i'm trying to do the same on my orbit 2
so far i've found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368836&highlight=remove+tray
but can't find a registry editor thats free.
ps: dont worry about changing your regisrty, just do things one step at a time and if you do mess it up theres alwasy the "hard reset" option.
update: ok found this registry editor. it runs on your pc and is a real time editor for the ppc registry (you can even do a full backup of your ppc registry). still trying to figure out how to remove the tray icons.

system tray bar
Hey pal, i've tried a few different things and found out that the prog in question is called o2c.exe (thats on my device anyway, maybe the same on the hermes). I found a thread that said rename the "o2c.exe" and replace it with "dciNobar.exe" renamed to 02c.exe, I tried this but it got rid of the soft keys (not what i wanted), so i just renamed 02c.exe to 02c_orig.exe (in file explorer), soft rest my device and hey presto no system tray, all that popped up was an error message saying it can't find o2c.exe or it is not trusted.
btw added these two little proggies (within zip) and my phone is now super sexy.

Caller Name display with Rogers on HTC S620

Ok guys, i need help.... I saw a LOT of threads regarding this issue, but I think i'm blonde, because i can't seem to make it work.... :-/
I'm with Rogers Canada and I just bought a HTC S620 unlocked with windows moble 6.... I see the number of the person calling, but not his name (and I do pay to get this service)
I know I can make it work by changing the values of the registry key, as I have read a couple of times in other forums, but... this is where i'm totally lost....
I'm on MAC, so I use Missing Sync to synchronize my phone, not Active Sync.... I tried downloading Mobie Registry Editor, as well as PHM Reistry Editor, but it does not seem to work (or i'm not doing the right thing...!)
Can anybody please tell me what i need to do (with a LOT of details LOL)
thanks a lot

Did you imported the contacts from your simcard to the contacts in the phone ?
I think that will help.
Yeah, the name display appears when one of my contact is calling, that's not a problem, but I want to have the name displayed when it's someboby OUTSIDE my contact list who's calling.... The number of the person appears, not his / her name (i do pay for this service and the name did appear with my old phone).... :-/

Your service might not support that so your name will not show up. It only shows up if it is in your contact... Many cell phone providers do not have this option....
Mine does I am 100% sure... and i have read on many forums that since this phone is unlocked and not "officially" supported by Rogers, I need to modify the registry in order for the name to be displayed....
check this thread....http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-367381.html
i just can's seem to figure out how to edit the registry, especially since i'm on mac...

The reg edits you pointed to seems as if no one got it to work anyway from what just read and i did read every link off and more.
This quote seems to make sense:
NotATreoFan:
If it works on the stock Rogers ROM, but not any others, one can conclude Rogers has some special software baked into their OEM ROM.

Actually Stylez I am using Ricky and your Rose 1.5 ROM and Rogers Name Display seems to be working with this version. I was never able to get it to work with the orginal WM 6.1 ROMs but it tis working in the Rose ROM.
For those who don't know Rogers Name Display is basically Caller ID for your cell. It will display the name of the caller even if they are not one of your contacts as long as the Rogers network can figure out who the caller is.

The guide to flashing is in sig too, also sorry about the confusion over gender

AT&T Tilt 2 Keyboard???

Hi There-
Well, I managed to get one of the ROMs to install on the new Tilt 2 from AT&T but I have a small problem. I can't find a cab to fix the keyboard mapping problem. I found one for the tmobile version but no luck fixing the problem. So, I figured I would just flash back to the original ROM and wait for some folks to modify their ROMs to work with the Tilt 2 but now I can't find that either. Am I just not finding it in my searches or is it just not here yet.... any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Titl 2's just started landing in people's hands today. It's going to be a few more days until there is a cab released to fix it.

It's not too bad, its in the format of the regular tp2. number keys on the top row and all that. Kind of nice to have actually,if I can memorize the keys quick enough I might leave it that way
I agree that it is kind of messed up. I bought a t-mo version, and I plan to sim unlock it and use it on att. I freaking LOVE this keyboard! I actually thought about checking eventually at htc part replacement stores to buy a stock keyboard, and physically changing the keyboard when I sell this one one and pick up a tilt2 (only b/c the t-mo can't pick up the att 3g frequencies).
Good luck finding your KB fix!

Dude, the finger keyboard is good enough to last me a few days until one of the wizards on this board comes up with the registry update. I am so happy with this phone so far it's crazy. The improvements to Office alone are awesome.
EDIT:
CONFIRMED TO WORK.
it's usually as simple as a registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
CWSLayout=1
LayoutID=502
update: scockman found one more key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\Keyboard LayoutFiles
07FF=eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt
if that doesn't work, I guess I'll have to play with it more when I actually get around to flashing my Tilt 2
Flash back to original ROM, export the keyboard settings using totalcommander or phm reg, then flash to custom rom, and import keyb settings.
i'm about to attach my .reg files from my stock tilt 2 rom. someone who has flashed their tilt 2 install them then soft reset and let us know what happens. also you might want to backup your HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\ just to be on the safe side.

Woo Hoo!! That fixed my issue, these were missing from the ROM that I was using "EnergyROM".
There is one other registry that everyone may be missing that needs to be set:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayoutFiles
07FF=eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt
After these were set I did a reset and everything is working.
Do you mind if i ask how did you get a tilt 2? I checked the att site and it is only showing on the business side called att and they said its not availalbe yet?
thks
J
I'm an AT&T Dealer and placed an order for 1 and got it. The dealers that order 20-50 won't get their's for a while because there is not enough to go around.
* I'm currently using the energy rom and the keyboard is off somewhat like the original tilt was when it came out. The number keys are off and most of the top row keys as well. Someone suggested to flash back to the original ROM but silly me didn't back it up. I assumed it would be here. I think I'm just a little too much ahead. I will; however, try the registry fix and see if it fixes my problem. Thanks for all of the help guys...
I guess I am a little confused as to "what" actually fixed your layout problem? Did you have to put ALL of those registry entries in or just the ones you added to the message? Anyway someone could put that in a .cab?
thanks!
Tilt2 KB reg edits - mostly good
I can confirm that:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\
CWSLayout=1
LayoutID=502
helps...the OK key and others along bottom row are still not right but at least the FN and Caps are back to normal (using energyRom). an edit of the Cingular_US.txt should help. I'll try that in a bit.
Using Adv Config to set Cingular keyboard doesn't work...had to reg edit to use Cingular_US as indicated above.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\IME\Keyboard LayoutFiles
07FF=eT9.Rhodium.Cingular_US.kmap.txt
I, too, wish i had saved Tilt2 keymap reg before my first flash.
Remember, takes both steps to get Tilt2 KB to 'normal'
Hey guys,
moved ya over to general...
peace,

I guess I am a little confused as to "what" actually fixed your layout problem? Did you have to put ALL of those registry entries in or just the ones you added to the message? Anyway someone could put that in a .cab?
thanks!

Ditto can someone cab it up so I can continue to be lazy. Thanks
fire up Total commander, hit up the plugins --> registry, and then follow the structure to the specified containers. edit or add as needed.
I guess I'm confused because I can't seem to get the registry entries to work properly!

Here are all the relevant entries. Import them into your registry and reset.
Dot fred's registry editor makes it easier to just click and add registry settings.
And while I am at it, I attached the file to make hardSPL easy to run as well.

FileSizeLimit
How odd that I asked almost the exact same question 2 hrs earlier
Anyone solve ringtone file size limit? Or I need a good pager solution!

I really need to be able to play an extended ringtone and it seems the Blackjack II had a registry tweak to handle this. That tweak doesn't work on our TP2s tho.
I am honestly surprised more folks haven't inquired about this.
do a search on this forum for "NoRingToneLimit" - it is .cab file and it works.
I searched the forum and did not find any hits, so I did an advanced search which took me to the archives.
There is a reference to a fix for 6.1:
mikefordmustang.com/downloads/NoRingtoneLimit.cab
Can anyone confirm this works for 6.5?
Found this as well but I haven't tried it personally. Seems easy enough to test though if you want to give it a go.
- Go into HKEY_Current User > ControlPanel > Sounds
- Delete the key of FileSizeLimit
- Done, You should now be able to set any MP3 as your ringtone.

That is the same tweak I found on a google search that was said to work for the Blackjack II. There is no such entry for WM 6.5 on my gsm TP2.
I did add the entry, using a larger value, and it did not work for me.

I tested this on my gsm TP2 on WM 6.5 and does not work. It will only play 20 seconds of a lengthy mp3 file on local memory. Still looking for a tweak/fix!!

You might have already tried this, but did you search your registry to see if that key existed in some other location maybe? I have 6.1 or I'd go look myself...

You know, I did do a search, but it just occurred to me that I searched for files, not strings within the registry.
I am going to do a search on both FileSizeLimit and NoRingToneLimit as strings and see what it comes up with. Total Commander is proving to be invaluable right about now!

I do like TC and can't deny its swissarmyknife-like utility, but for when I just want to zip around in the registry, I like the look/feel of PHM_regedit better.
thx for the tip! i'll look into that ..
Use ceregeditor and browse your phone registry form your computer making it 100 times easier.
so I grabbed ceregeditor and yes indeed, it makes it sooo much easier to search/edit registry entries.
so ... my findings:
Installing NoRingtoneLimit.cab did put an entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds:FileSizeLimit
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The default Value Data was set to 0 .. this did not work.
I increased the value to a high # .. i saw 10487200 as a possible value when I found the blackjack ii tweaks .. that too did not work.
Im guessing everything Im doing works just fine for WM 6.1 .. but nobody has figured out why it doesnt for 6.5. I hope there are others out there with more insight into this. I really dont want to go back to my old phone when I go OnCall this weekend!

It works on my AT&T Tilt 2 with 6.5 - Have Hallelujah Chorus (eleven minutes) as a ringtone.
well now i'm bummed even more!
i am going to uninstall the .cab .. reset .. and then re-install .. and reset to see what happens.
iv'e tried different things to come up with a solution and nothing appears to be taking: repeat notifications, filesizelimit, notificationlayoutnew.dll ... i get zilch on each!
wow .. 11mins!
well i am just so frickin' dissapointed in this thing now. i just cant fathom as to why a GSM model would be that much different than an ATT Tilt2.
I guess perhaps using one of the many available ROMs on this site could help? Any advice, anyone?
And that made all the difference!
It finally works!
I knew there had to be something weird about my setup that was causing this not to work for me. I was timing the length of the ringtone and while the longest was at 20 seconds, there were times when it was a little as 10.
I started thinking that perhaps something was intercepting or disturbing the process that killed the ringtone. I never thought to uncheck DISPLAY MESSAGE ON SCREEN.
This is what made the difference. Once the txt message screen timed out and disappeared, the ringtone died as well. Unchecking it allowed the ringtone/vibration to play fully. WHEW! I swear, of all the things to check last ... when will I ever learn!

Hahaha congrats! I was trying to figure out what the heck could still be keeping you from playing them properly, and I honestly wouldn't have thought of that either! I bet this will lead to a lot of "a-HA!"s in RhodiumTown tonight! lol
