Today, my Qtek 9090 main and backup battery ran out and my machine
when back to the factory settings. Whe I got into the office, the first
thing that I did was perform a restore from yesterday's backup. All
proceeded well, but it got to the end and told me that a number of files
were
open on the device and if I closed them, I could try again.
I went on to the device and went throug the memory settings and closed all
the "Running Programs" except the ActiveSync program. This still did not
close any of the open file, so I skipped them and rebooted the device.
Enclosed a screenshot of error. I could not enclose it since the server did
not accept it. Anybody interested I can send the screenshot via email.
Why does the restore application not automatically close the require files
when it need to?
How can I force the open files closed on the device so that the restore will
work fine?
Last post was mine, Sorry, logged in as guest.
I managed to upload a screenshot of error. Sorry fo multiple posts.
I suspect that it's the phone application. The only problem is that you cannot shut it down! Even without putting in the pin number or putting it on flight mode I get the same errors. Anybody know how to force shut down the phone application?
Hi all
Great forum...
I am trying to deploy an application from Visual Studio 2005 to my Zest phone. I have done this a hundred times in the past but for some reason it is now failing with an error:
The device security configuration disallowed the connection. Ensure that you have the appropriate certificates on your device for development. Review your SDK documentation for proper security settings for connecting to this device.
I have wasted two days now trawling the net trying to find a solution but with no luck.
I have tried to instal the SDKCerts.cab but it simply wont install.
I have tried to edit the registry using mobile registry editor but get access is denied.
I have tried to install enablerapi but that fails to install also.
I have move the .exe manually and tried to run it but it complains that the app is not signed with a trusted certificate.
I am not too clued up on certificates so I really don't know where to go next.
Any help really apprciciated.
So last week after unexpected regedit failure I had to hard reset the phone.
Since then I can put chevron on, use regedit and even permanently unlock it so it does not relock after zune.
I unlockit.xap as that is the only way I can do it, it simply copies custclear.provxml to windows folder and runs it. It sets max sideload apps and prevents from relocking when connected to zune.
However after that one my provxml does not work. I know that as I have created a custom one that changes reg entries for some unavailable locations but also simple things like number of tabs in IE or search provider. It does not do it no matter what. If I e-mail it as custclear.xml and run advanced config picks it up but states unable to run.
Any ideas why I can not provxml anything no more? It happend way before update came and I only updated the phone today. Still no luck
Can someone please simplify all this for me?
The information on this site is so convoluded in terms of methods, some expired , some still valid, and guesses that are plain wrong, and irrelevancies.
I have been reading, installing, and uninstalling for hours into days.
Samsung Focus
1. Can Mango unlock be achieved with unlock from 7004?
2.I was on NoDo unlock and followed some instructions for the Focus that did not work. It went right to Mango LOCKED (as many others have reported).
I made a nice little back up of my NoDo unlock but can't get back to it using any version of Zune or any method, they all result in restore errors.
My back up might as well be on the north pole because I can't get to it.
3.I flashed back to 7004 and couldn't get chevron to unlock again like I used to be able to on XP or WIN 7 with various zune versions back to 4.7.
I'm wondering if the newer Zunes corrupted that somehow because last time it worked was on a fresh zune install on windows 7.
And besides that, they all ask to be upgraded before they do a back up, usually.
4.But even if it is unlocked at ROM 7004, zune updates (if chosen) will send it back to mango and locks it agian right? That's what happened last time , it just kept updating the phone for hours and then it was back to mango.
5.It appears my only option now is Mango locked or 7004 flash Rom with possible unlock.
Hopefully answers here will help others as well.
A few answers, though not compreheensive:
1) You don't have to let WP7 install each update, if you wanted to stop at, for example, NoDo 7392, you could. Just wait untilt he update gets that far, then pull the plug and/or hit Ccancel in Zune. Left to itsself, it will install all available updates.
2) The phone automatically dev-relocks whenever a major update is installed - this happens even to people with legitimate develop-unlock (and it's annoying!) For Samsung, I believe the technique for preserving unlock is the same one used to get interop-unlock on Mango: place an unlock provxml file in \provxml\ on the phone's filesystem (you can either use Heathcliff74's WP7 Root Tools to do this, or you can just install his interop-unlock XAP) and make sure you have a working version of the Samsung Diag app (should allow you to process provxml files). Once you have that, you can install all the way up to the Mango update safely, I think (I don't have a Samsung, but it should work) and use the Diag app to process your provxml file, which will both dev-unlock and interop-unlock the phone.
Not sure what's up with your backups; I can't really help you there without more information. What error do you get? What version of Zune are you using (you probably should use the latest version, 4.8.whatever)? How big is the backup (it's in %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\)?
As for what guides to follow, starting with the stickies is always a good idea.
Hello,
I have a HTC Mozart device wich is momentarily running on unlocked NoDo.
I have followed various guides from xda but I end up running a locked Mango (most of the guides require after Mango update to run HTC Connection Setup to unlock... which I am unable to run (black scren) and all other apps tell me revoked by Microsoft).
is there any latest guide a little more foolproof?
It seems that after 18th October something happened with Zune which prevents Mango unlock...

After you install the interop-unlock xap while on nodo then goto mango you reinstall the diag app and in the Diagnosis app dial: *#9908#.. Select "Heathcliff74 Interop Unlock"
then tap Save, tap Close and exit the Diagnosis app
@lucasryan: Those are the instructions for a Samsung phone. They don't work at all on an HTC phone.
@Gyuritzy: Currently, Microsoft is pushing the Mango update and an HTC update together. The HTC update blocks the unlock path used with Mango. If your phone gets that update - which means if it gets Mango through the retail update path - there's no current way to interop-unlock it.
If you can get Mango through an atypical upgrade path (I came from the beta, which worked), or if you use a custom ROM (be *very careful* of the bootloader version if you try this!!), you can get interoop-unlocked Mango on HTC. It's not easy, though.
Ahh i see that i quoted his post now. as alan93 has focus
What solution do I have to load Mango without HTC update? Should I try with RCT2RTM type of packagge?
@GoodDayToDie
#1 - ahh ok, but I'm sure watching the update tentativley is required right? For like an hour and a half.
#2 - now see, there you go again, this is only for dev-unlock people which , i'm not even sure what that is..what? you pay $100 to MS to get it? It needs to be stated more clearly where ever that solution is posted AT THE VERY TOP like this "IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DEV UNLOCK ....
@ lucasryan - That can't be right, -->"installing interop unlock on NoDo then go to Mango"...STOP RIGHT THERE. when you go to Mango it wipes everything out and you have no more access...unless of course ..YOU ALREADY HAVE A DEV UNLOCK...what ever that is.
I did try the diagnosis trick on update to mango after putting that file on there but the diagnosis version would not go higher than 908 or what ever. Couldn't get 1112 or what ever the one that is needed.
Please, just say there is no way to unlock Mango unless you have a dev unlock and that is low percentage as it is...then I won't expect so much.
Thanks for the replies.
Here is the zune error I get on trying to restore to my NoDo unlock.
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...-restore/3ec7091d-d79d-422c-9995-cfe186e0155b
As you can see nobody is dying to answer it.
I think the code number means "this goon is trying to restore to an unlocked version, don't answer him".
@alan93: Developer Unlock is the term used for the change to your phone made by the Windows Phone Registration Tool (if you have a marketplace developer account), ChevronWP7 Unlocker (possible on pre-NoDo), ChevronWP7 Labs (coming soon), or changing the DeveloperUnlockState registry value located at HKLM\Comm\Security\LVMod to 1 (possible with the LG registry editor, or by using the Samsung diag app or HTC Connection Setup app to process to provxml file). The registry change is actually what matters; the other methods are simply ways to achieve it.
Dev unlock allows you to install XAP files - a renamed ZIP file with some manifest XML files, one or more managed (.NET-based) DLL files, and possibly other files needed by the application. Due to a bug in the application installer, you can also use a XAP to put arbitrary files almost anywhere in the filesystem (the installer can't write to the \Windows\ directory).
One of those manifst files specifies capabilities that the app has, which controls permissions of the app (for example, ID_CAP_ISV_CAMERA allows access to the public camera APIs). As of Mango, including beta versions, it is no longer possible to install apps with the ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES capability unless the MaxUnsignedApp registry value (located in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install) is set to at least 300 (the default value is either 10 or 3, depending on the unlock method used). ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES is required for interfacing with drivers, a way for applications to run at high permissions (for example, to write to the registry). Each time you install a major upgrade, such as Mango, this value is reset to its default. An app with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES therefore can't be installed (or run, if it was installed before upgrading to Mango) until this MaxUnsignedApp registry value is changed, a process referred to as Interop-unlock (term coined by Heathcliff74 on this forum). Marketplace-installed apps are exempt from this restriction, which is why things like Connection Setup (which has ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES) can be used.
For what it's worth, I got my dev-unlock by purchasing a marketplace developer account ($100 from MS). One day I may even submit an app to the marketplace, but so far all the apps I've written use homebrew and wouldn't be acceptable for the marketplace, so I just publish them here.
Thanks great explanation.
I intend to write my own too, I wrote one and have a few more great ideas but didn't want to pay until i made sure I was able to write them completely and testing on the simulator sux. And last I heard, the media player doesn't work with it.
I just think the fee and lockout just hurts development thereby limiting the success of WP7.
If it was $50 or less I would probably pay it.
I mean for crying out loud I'm a certified MCP/MCAD, they should give me a break here.
This is for anyone that has their phone where they want it and do not want the latest OEM driver updates that tend to have an impact on interop-unlock capabilities (we know of Samsungs and HTC latest doing this).
I see lots of people who have updated the OS using CAB sender methods (myself included) and want the ability to keep IU abilities for highest privileges and to apply IU after a hard reset. I also know the latest drivers can cripple this so I tell my phone to ignore updates (I don't need them or have work arounds).
But, when I plug my phone into my PC and launch Zune I get an update notification every time and I have to say "update later". Very annoying...
So, I have a solution:
Go into C:\Program Files\Zune and rename the file UpdateWP.exe to UpdateWP.exe.t and Zune is not able to do Windows Phone Update and ignores the updates. I can always rename it back later if I want it enabled again.
If I try to do an update manually from Zune I get an error that it can't complete right now and gives an error code. Everything else seems to still work fine.
Just passing this along.
P.S. Yes, this will stop Zune from showing ANY updates including OS so be aware. Visit XDA regularly to see what latest WP OS updates there are
I don't have an "UpdateWP.exe" in that directory...
