Windows Phone 7 Build 6414 (July 'Beta') Unlocked Emulator

Windows Phone 7 Dev tools Beta released
Here's the updated emulator build. It seems very similar (and the build number is only a bit higher) than the one leaked last week. As with that build, there's no options to add data sources to sync/connect with. Ugh! I'll keep working at it as it's bound to be there somewhere but we'll see.

Unlike previous builds, it seems that you need to pass a VMID to the XDE executable. As follows...
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe" "C:\Users\YOU\Desktop\WM70C1-6414-unlocked.bin" /VMID {E575DA31-FC47-4766-853F-018D823B9EE6}
Or you can place the file in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Emulation\Images" with the name "WM70C1.bin" and debug with visual studio and it will launch. I've only tried a super basic app but this appears to be the first one that actually works fully with debugging! This should help the devs that want to be able to test with the various task launchers with some actual data.
So here's the download!

I'll have to wait til I get home from work to download/look into it. Let us know what you find! I wonder if this is the same emulator build that found it's way out last week?

I'm installing that.
Little Tips: If you installed the April CTP, installing the beta from the April CTP's uninstaller (Open uninstaller -> click Repair/Reinstall -> when the uninstaller ask the CD, click the option for re-downloading the file from Internet). In that mode, you don't uninstall Visual Basic 2010, Visual Studio 2010 or XNA Studio. Enjoy!
(Sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian )

Now we need to wait for an unlock of the new OS Image. It is very much improved with bootup, transitions, and everything really. I cant wait to see how the apps, and hubs are looking and performing now...

Wow, that's really cool. If I just would have heard about this earlier...

Can you install the tools with my mode? I can't, the installation can't download Windows Phone Emulator x64 and it's block. HELP!!!

Eh, I created a new WP app project in Expression Blend and immediately ran it. The basic title layout already doesn't match the system layout. *sigh*

Got problems installing it via the repair routine - just getting errors that some parts of the install couldn't complete. Damned....

Yes, it's *much* safer to do a full uninstall of CTP tools, reboot, then install the Beta.

reserved for futur

works great, thanks for sharing

And this build definitely does seem snappier. Maybe that's because they turned off all logging

Here's a couple of the default sounds pulled from the image for use on our phones if you want them...
WP7_pure.mp3 is the default ringtone, for those wondering what that is.

But I've got a problem with the emulator. It's choppy like hell, it always was for me. I've got a Core 2 Duo 2,14 GHz so I don't think that should be a problem, but I see it is using just one core. Is there a trick to enable emulator using the 2nd core or get it somehow hardware accelerated?

There isn't a limitation. According to this thread it may be a problem with your device. Can you deploy an application with the official application deployer?

Of course, I used to install it with "tom xap"
In fact with your batch it works with some , and not with others . I'm trying to investigate and I'll tell you which one gave me problems, maybe wrong signatures or ....
Hum, maybe simply that ^^

Could be that these aren't signed with the certificate from chevron wp7.
I will add a feature to automatically sign these apps with a chosen certificate. Probably somewhere this week

Thx in advance and anyway your app is a must have for rom testers ^^
And as we should see a lot of custom WP7 rom soon....

Fantastic, works great.

Thanx a lot for this, Custom ROMs here we come!.

And running Zune is also required? Or works it also without Zune?

Does this remove the drm and resign? like being able to install xap's from different devices? Or just install apps from marketplace?

Check the requirements in the first post, are you receiving any error message?

Will it works for WP7 emulator?

ahsiang888 said:

Yes, choose Emulator in settings

Right, so you have to let it resign the App if it's from the Marketplace, if you do this will the marketplace on the phone still update the app when updates are released etc?

hi
have anyone else the same problem, that you could install some .xap and some not?
e.g. the game The Harvest i couldnt install.....
everytime comes installing failed....

Windows Phone 7 Security Update may hit on May 3

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/windows-phone-7-security-update-coming-may-3
Less than a month ago we told you that Windows Phone 7 might receive a security update soon in the context of those specific nine fraudulent certificates affecting several domains by Comodo.
According to SlashGear's inside sources, that certain security update will be Windows Phone 7's third one (after pre-NoDo and NoDo) and is likely to hit on May 3. Whether it will require the Zune client of it will be delivered over-the-air is not sure at the moment -- though we'd say OTA taking into consideration the small weight. While Redmond successfully patched its Desktop client of Internet Explorer, the one on Windows Phone 7 is still vulnerable.

Looks more like an IE patch to me. Also, Chevron has been patched with Nodo, so no point in patching it again really.

If I do get this update on the 3rd of May it had better bring NoDo along with it! I'm still stuck with pre-NoDo (Orange UK, completely unmodified) AHH!
But it's good to see them working on the small security updates as well as the big end-user updates

EDIT: OK I got the update too. LG E900 Optimus 7 (I had NoDo before).

It just moves the 9 certificates from the trusted store to the untrusted certificate store. Update was given to my phone today. HTC HD7 in the UK on the O2 UK Network.

Hopefully with the Arrive, when they release the update they'll have something that fixes this stop at 160 character sms crap.

I can confirm that the 7392 update installs fine with this pre-existing hack. Confirmed that the ability to sideload is still functioning by installing the default email hack xap.

I noticed this update, but i haven't seen anything on my T-Mobile HD7 yet (Branded , even still Carrier Locked, but developer-unlocked)

HTC Trophy
Unbranded from Vodafone GR ..
Started with ROM 7004 - unlock - prevent relock-update to 7008-update to 7390 and

All OK here no probs at all

Got it on my Branded HD7 today, but the description of the Update make me feel unsafe... LOL

(SOLVED) Windows Phone Device Manager with 7740 OS update no XAP deploying

After latest 7740 OS update I´m was not able to deploy the VableBrowser1.9.5bDEV.xap its a free dev app. from this thread [APP] Vable Browser !!Update 1.95b XAP!!] (update v1.95b not available in MarketPlace)
It seems with 7740 OS update comes the Server-side XAP encryption. maybe other apps such nokia music, htc hub will not able to deploy
.... I have flash my backup 7720 OS relase, then the deploying works fine.
UPDATE:
maybe has to do with the f .. Windows Phone Device Manager

Will remove it from my computer, and update again to 7740 and will report here!

I also noticed that when you purchase an application you are given the option to bill it to your carrier or to a specific credit card. This option shows on a stock mango device.

.... VableBrowser1.9.5bDEV.xap
update v1.95b not available in MarketPlace
the xap is from this thread [APP] Vable Browser !!Update 1.95b XAP!!]

Uh great timing! I did not receive the 7740 update on my HD7 for now, but this is something that will stop me at least for a while before I install.
Right now, I'm interested where and how WP7 stores the encryption keys for the encrypted XAPs. I don't think that MS assigns each device an individual encryption key and uses a static key for all devices. Otherwise MS would need the computing power to encrypt all purchased XAPs on the fly.
Mods: Please get me right, I'm not into violating copyrights or pirating, I just want to understand how this encryption system works, as their is no further information available from MS. I think, iOS devices uses their hardware to generate a unique key for the app store apps. It would be therefore interesting to know how MS handles this problem.

i speak not over MarketPlace apps.
this is a dev free app- and the I was not able to deploy:
.... VableBrowser1.9.5bDEV.xap

Hm, normally developer unlocked phones should be able to deploy. Did you recheck if your phone is still developer unlocked after the 7740 update? My phone tends to relock after installing updates, maybe that is the problem? Otherwise it could be corrupted XAP file, maybe you ask in the other thread of the XAP developer for help?

Not problem for me,
I can deploy .xap in my Omnia 7 7740.16 !

I can still deploy it too. No problem.

can anyone confirm that 7740 enables the encrypted XAP packages? Maybe someone can install an free app and try to capture the encrypted XAP package with Wireshark? I'm curious if its now enabled or not.

Question How do I block the "Install update to keep device secure" message from popping up every single day?

I have the device rooted, Magisk (Zygisk) running. I'm not looking to re-flash or update, just want to get rid of this message from popping up. How do I completely disable this message? Is there firewall settings? Build.prop?
Thanks,

When this has been asked before in the last three weeks in this section since Android 13 came out, I don't think anyone suggested a solid definitely working answer. My answer, I doubt if you can make it go away, and I doubt if you can keep from installing it for very long.

Have you tried disabling the "Automatic system update" setting in the Developer options menu?
I never usually see these messages, however, I usually manually update my device within the first two weeks of a new update dropping. However, I may surpass that time frame this time around due to numerous family events. Therefore, I will let you know if I end up seeing this message pop-up on my device in the near future.

Wouldn't the update fail to install if you are rooted?

westhaking said:

That is indeed what used to happen.
There have been several reliable reports that those who were rooted on Android 12 Stable got the OTA for Android 13 Stable (even though they had automatic download of OTAs disabled in Developer options), and that the 13 Stable OTA did install successfully. Of course, it overwrote the rooted kernel/boot.img, so it wasn't rooted until they manually Magisk'd the boot.img from the (full) factory image zip and flashed it.
I can also confirm that on my own phone before 13 Stable came out, it wanted to install the tiny second July OTA even though again, I had automatic download of OTAs disabled. I just never rebooted until Android 13 Stable came out, which I manually flashed. I have no idea if that second July OTA would've successfully installed as well.
In some ways, being able to take the OTA officially may make it easier to update for some users, as long as it happens at a time you're comfortable installing the new rooted boot.img. But it's not cool about it ignoring the automatic download of OTAs switch. For the OTA to Android 13 Stable, it was reasonably understandable, in my opinion, since the bootloader vulnerability on Android 12 Stable was big enough to warrant that.
We have no idea at this point if all OTAs will successfully install over a rooted Stable firmware, or if any future OTAs will ignore the automatic download switch.

If I click download it just dismisses the message and does nothing. I do have the "Automatic system update" disabled in the developer menu. The current ROM on the phone is an official one I downloaded, patched with Magisk, and flashed.
I'm not looking to update every month, just want to get rid of this annoying popup and update when I see an update I want.

I tried the "Disable Application [ROOT]" app from the app store. You have to pay something like $3 to buy it, once.
It was a very tedious process, but I tapped on "Google Play services" in that app and scrolled through the very long lists of "Activities", "Services", "Receivers", "Providers" and unchecked anything that had an identifier that looked like it was related to system updates. e.g. "something.something.SystemUpdate".
I haven't seen this update message in 4 days, so that seems promising. It wasn't exactly a quick fix, though.
