Chevron applied, XAP's installed... still no market - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Hi guys
i've run (Successfully I think) the Chevron utility, and used Tom to install Touchexplorer, XBMODDeployer and Connection Setup but I still can't buy/try apps from the marketplace and get the following error:
can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Connection setup ran ok and I can browse the web.
TouchXplorer: "Has been revoked by Microsoft"
XBMOD.Files.Deployer "has been revoked by Microsoft"
Does this mean we can no longer access Marketplace and MS has got wise to this route?
(Time and date set correctly)

Re locked unit
Hi Monty,
Having played a little with Chevron and WP7 on an HD2 i can tell you that your device has relocked (it will do this every time you sync with Zune) you need to either apply the reg fix to stop it from calling back to MS or simply put the unit into fight mode before you connect to Zune.
The application revoked message will be seen once the unit has been relocked, however once you re unlock it all sideloaded apps will again be available for use.
To enable the live services (marketplace) you will need to apply another reg hack to fool the device into sending an ID from a HD7 to the marketplace, you will also need to activate the services by getting a key from MS.
All relevant detail for the above processes is documented fully in the stickies, just read through it and I'm sure you'll be fine
Kind Regards,
Creamy

To prevent re-unlocking, visit this thread: [HTC] Prevent WP7 from Relocking.
To activate Marketplace, visit this thread: [Confirmed working]HowTo actvate your wp7/HD2 Live services.

Thanks Creamy, your right... it took me some time to figure it out but I did in the end.
TheSecondsFade - the problem is, the info is spread out all through those stickies which means that people keep reposting the same questions, four pages on!
Somehow, this all needs to be scrapped, put together properly and a proper FAQ put together. I'm guessing a MOD will need to do that?

Windows update not working- 'make sure date and time are correct' - and 80072ee7

Yes I've tried searching.
I've tried to update with and without the data box checked. Wifi on and off. Is it disabled and ROMs and radios are done by htc? I'm so confused. I was born yesterday so I'm new to technology.
Connection to the update server is not available. Check your data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct.
Result Code:
80072ee7 (seems to be an error used by windows in general and not just mobile - mentions some static ip stuff for vista but I don't think you need that kinda stuff with a phone)

Help please
Windows update not working is normal. I think carriers must support it for it to work and I don't know of any carriers that do.

Thanks. That means I have to figure out how to manually update through HTC's website or are there OTA updates like with android?

Traditionally, updates to Windows mobile devices are done via ROMs that you download to your computer and flash via a USB connection.I think some kind of OTA updating is possible, but I doubt of t-mobile will support that.

Well I also have the G1 from t-mobile and that has OTA updates, but that also doesn't allow tethering while for some reason winmo phones are apparently allowed to tether 24/7, so who knows.
I forgot to mention that my phone seems to be going abnormally slow and not reacting at a reasonable speed. I have no idea how I left that little nugget of info out since it's the reason I'm trying to update. I saw the MMS +international and a ROM update on HTC's site, but my versions are newer, so I'm not sure what's up (and I'm also horrible at navigating to info I need). I always go through all the settings when I get a new piece of plastic and I can't seem to speed this baby up no matter what I do. It seems to be at its worst in IE, with or without lots of stuff on the page, and besdies that it just doesn't seem as fast as it should be. The phone's only new-to-america, right (as in it's been out in other countries)? And winmo's been out for decades, so I don't think that's blamable on it being "new".
Man I'm horrible at finding stuff. I had that page with the updates on htc's site and now I can't find it again. I checked the online manual and it talks about windows update like it works too, but maybe that part is just part of the default windows mobile manual. I'M SO CONFUSED
Posting from my phone now, it took about three minutes to get down to this phone from the main forum page, and when it locks up I can't click menu or anything and yes the page was done loading and no I don't know why at 5AM I remember details I shoulda posted back at 5PM. Instant messages and texts also don't show up in order and some take literally hours to show up at all. My G1 and my cousin's sidekick both work in this location so I don't think it's a connection problem although I do get errors about not being able to connect to certain things but I have no idea what it means. One is like 'can't dial blah blah' but I'm not calling anyone.
I've never really had a good experience with windows mobile but I doubt this phone is actually really THIS bad. But, there's also nothing really pointing out a direct relation to this being a software or hardware fault.
Actually I'll post this then I'll post my version info maybe I'm not up to date
I can't copy paste this stuff? This is gonna suck
ROM ver.........1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE (this a limited edition wrestling phone or something?)
ROM date.......06/08/09
Radio.............3.45.25.14
Protocol..........61.27T.25.23U
I think I typed that all right. Is that up to date? I can't quite figure out htc.com, hell I can't even navigate my own site
I also can't seem to switch to transcriber or anything other than the default on screen keyboard

[Q] Problem while connecting windows marketplace via HD mini

Hi
I have acquired HTC HD mini recently. I upgraded its ROM to new version 1.36.720.X. But still I am not able to connect Windows Marketplace via my mobile. My GPRS connection is set correctly as I am able to connect Facebook and My Phone successfully. I am facing issue with Windows Live and Marketplace.
I always get error while trying to connect Market place that
"There may be a problem with the Marketservice now. Check your internet connection and try again later."
Can anybody provide me solution for this.
Registry value for HKLM\Systems\Versions\Aku is .5.3.3 (Which is due to latest OS version came with ROM) . Hence that earlier fix of changing value of Aku is not workable though I tried it.
I think that there are many unfortunates like me who have faced same problem.
Thanks in advance for help.
regards,
Pranit
Hi
It has been long time and I have received no answer. Please help me as I have been not able to use marketplace. I have tried all solution mentioned in forum but with no effect.
uninstall and redownload marketplace.worked for me.
This solution does not work. I didn't know how to uninstall Windows marketplace. Hence I installed and replaced downloaded version of marketplace app. Need a concrete solution. Just to mention, I am from india. I came across one more user of HD mini who is facing same issue.
I need helping hand here. Kindly somebody give me some solution. Is there any issue while accessing Marketplace from India?
Is your time date correct for your country.
I had the same problem i change the time to right time for my country and marketplace could connect.
I hope you understand my english.
Yes. I have synchronised time with internet. Still no effect. Assume that I have no idea about how to set the local time and guide me. I am really pissed off as my all efforts to connect Marketplace are failed.
go to settings 'time, date", and also check "country and text" just below the tab "time and date" I hope you understand this i have to translate from dutch
Hope this solve's your problem.
Then I have done it correctly. Still with no effect. I just wanted to confirm it. Everything seems just right.
i found this regarding your problem
Have you tried this deleting a reg key that sets the download location for Marketplace.
Can you please tell me where to find this entry in registry?
HKCU\Security\Software\Microsoft\Marketplace;Downl oadLocation
I found this on the forum of mobilitydigest.com.
Maybe you can find a solution for your problem there.
Just typ in Google marketplace bootstrap
tried. But still not working. I am stuck since I bought HD mini.Have tried number of options to connect marketplace and all met with failure. Can you think of other solution?
I have had this problem too. But simply killing the process in Task Manager, rebooting the device and retrying worked for me!
Please tell me which process is to be killed. I tried to locate process and kill it. If I am not wrong then in task manager there is no option to kill process but to kill application.

Kill application worked for me. But killing processes can be done in the Task Manager by clicking Menu => Display => Processes
Hi , I have tried all sort of options now. But I have met no success. Please, please provide me some solution. My HD mini is sort of useless if I am not able to access marketplace. I am not able to buy certain apps which I would like to.
This guy had the same problem as you.
I've had this problem for quite some time and I think I may have found a solution that I didn't really seem to find in many other places. I believe that Windows Marketplace Mobile requires an authenticated connection to connect (network associated GPRS such as AT&T, Edge, 3G, etc...). To connect to WinMo Market with a wifi, I believe also requires authentication. My own personal router is secured with WPA and AES encryption, which my phone can connect to. I had no problems with connecting to the internet via browser (for the most part) with Wifi or Edge. Problem is, for whatever reason, Windows Marketplace did not recognize that my Wifi was authenticated. After playing around for quite some time to figure out why, I stumbled on a program called Advanced Configuration Tool (I own an unlocked HTC HD2). Turns out, my stock ROM had WPA Authentication disabled (which explains why flashing to a new ROM work for people since that option is typically enabled by default). I guess somewhere along the long, my phone had disabled it, most likely by some action of my own. So after re-enabling it in the network settings of the program, I had no more problems connecting to Winmo Market. Additionally make sure that your wireless config on your phone enables IEEE 802.1x network access control (you can adjust this on the actual wireless network setting where you input your passwords). I'm sure there are ways to activate it through the registry, but Advanced Configuration Tool by Touchxperience developers made it easy (it's in the network settings menu).

SideLoading, on non registered dev phones?

Sideloading
Brandon Miniman on pocket now is saying he can sideload an app without registering the device.
1. Windows Phone Development Tools
2. Zune Desktop (Windows only for now)
3. A Windows Phone 7 device (or, you can use the emulator)
...
in the comments:
Commenter: "You fail to mention for this to work your phone has to be registered as a developer device with the marketplace. You can't just take any phone and deploy software to it with this utility."
Brandon: "Hmm, I don't think that is true. I'm using a device that will soon be on AT&T...and it worked just fine."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Edit: Messed up in title...should be non registered phones. not dev phones
Unless MS has changed their policy on side loading, the commenter is correct. You definitely have to register and you only get 3 per account.
How is the sideloading done exactly? There may be a way around it.
The person who wrote the article was wrong and he updated his post. He was on a prerelease phone that was already registered with a developer on the marketplace.
On the other hand, I'm confident that someone will find a way to "jailbreak" the phone to allow e.g. Sideloading.

[Q] unable to load marketplace after market select

i seem to have a little problem.
after selecting a different marketplace and region, rebooted as instructed. i went to download some stuff only to find that the marketplace will not load.
the screen says.....loading then back flips back to menu.
tried restoring with back-up for both (Restore OEM and Restore MO) but still nothing.
marketplace will not load.
also cannot open xbox games... starts by saying loading then flips back to menu
tried soft reset but still nothing
currently running mi7Rom WP7.8 Edition Nokia Mod v2 on omnia7
any help would be appreciated
p.s when i look online at my phone details it comes up as samsung cetus!!!
i would rather not load the rom again if i can find a solution
I had this its todo with changing OEM AND MO device details the problem is it gets all screwed up when certs get synced, changing back the reg settings doesn't work, there are literally 100s of XML files that also contain various stings, I thin the problem lies in them. I for it working but in the absence of time, formatting was the best solution
Sent from my Lumia 900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
thanks for the reply. i was hoping not to have to reformat quite yet.... ball ache.
probably wait for an official/unofficial 7.8
Yeah, some of the marketplace hacks use a known-to-be-harmful hack. The reputable ones shouldn't - this issue was discovered well over a year ago - but to some people the allure of being able to run Nokia apps on their non-Nokia phones is too great. Installing the apps can be done without this hack (which is to change the OEM and phone info in the DeviceTargetingInfo registry key), but running them often cannot.
The only known solution is to hard-reset, or to restore a full phone backup that was taken prior to using the hack.
tbh GoodDayToDie i chose what i thought was a reputable app to do this from.
i used market select by sh4d0w86. oh well, you live and learn.
i wasn't trying to get nokia apps >.< the app i wanted was iheartradio which has never been available in my region.
i will be reformatting soon. let this be a lesson to me
GDTD, yeah ive never used the apps and applied the modifications myself, I suspect its actually to do with the Mobile operator settings, and not exclusively the device or OEM settings, ive been fiddling with the others in an attempt to recreate the problem, it appears random but that Mobile operator reg entry, so far, appears to expedite the problems.

Strange "RootPA" app on my HTC 10. Is it a potential security issue?

Im using a HTC 10 (EU variant). Today i was scrolling through "Netguard" (if you dont know it, its an app to prevent other apps from internet access), since i configured it to show system apps it displays way more apps than the normal app overview in the settings. In there i found an app called "RootPA" and one called "root", which seems strange since i didnt unlock the bootloader or root on my own. The details in the RootPA entry say "com.gd.mobicore.pa", no idea if thats helpfull to determine the origin of this mysterious app.
Can you help me with this?
Did you Google it?
I did, but the results were not realy usefull. I found someone with a modded Galaxy S3 who deleted a RootPA on accident and broke stuff, but that ssems unrelated. Are there any things i could do to find out more about the app installed on my phone without root?
I cant say its something I've ever seen. If this person in the past removed it, and it broke stuff, that would suggest that it may have been a system app and he was rooted. From what I managed to find on google, it is part of a security suite (mobicore) used by networks to monitor what the state of the phone is, presumably incase something happens, and it was the user fault, and they know for a fact because they have logs of what the phone has done.
[ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE] Allows applications to access information about networks
[INTERNET] Allows applications to open network sockets. (i.e send information)
[READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE] Allows an application to read from external storage.
[READ_PHONE_STATE] Allows read only access to phone state.
A friend of mine got his HTC 10 2 days ago, ill ask him to look for this app. Its unlikely we would have the same virus/whatever installed.
Edit: He just reseted his 10 (due to missing language options, but thats another topic), but still found "root" and "rootPA" on his phone, so its preinstalled (although i still dont understand whats its purpose).
RootPA is provides service for provisioning secure applications that run on ARM trustzone and t-base OS (formerly mobicore). It is preinstalled in some vendors Android devices (search for this string on the internet: htc-devices-to-incorporate-trustonic-t-base-tee), but mostly unused as far as I know. The source code of some versions is available on the Internet (e.g. on github /Faryaab/android_hardware_samsung_slsi_exynos5410/tree/master/mobicore/rootpa).
It has nothing to to with rooting or unrooting the device.
PA route is very dangerous I had some I have somebody who has hacked into my phone through this particular program so to speak I have a lot of issues right now with my phone trying to get them off of my phone and this seems to be the root cause or the start of it have anybody knows how I can clear my phone and my Ram from the Vicious hacker I appreciate it I'm tired of being watched and recorded everything I do

PA route..... .rootPA ......2 different things. Hacked ? Unlikely, I think some OCD is kicking in. Want to be clean? RUU the device and do not restore anything
