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.

Thanks for the image!
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?

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

So if this update is real, why isn't it in the "Where's my phone update?" page?

So you got the update? Which phone/provider/region? OTA or using Zune?
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)

Started with ROM 7004 - unlock - prevent relock-update to 7008-update to 7390 and

USB Storage Enabler

Hello together
I developed an "USB Storage Enabler" Tool for Windows phone 7, so you can easy enable or disable the WP7 USB functionality.
You need to have Zune installed and one device connected for least one time.
To enter the USB Storage you'll close Zune.
Now you can use your phone like a simple USB Stick
This tool requires .NET 2.0.

I've tested this software on NT 6.x (Vista + 7). Please use this software at your own risk.
You only see emtpy folders? Try this:
Normal way:
1. Start Zune and connect your device
2. Click on "Enable" in the USB Storage Enabler Tool
3. Close Zune (or your folders are empty)

Oh,... try to run this tool as an administrator. (maybe UAC or somethings is blocking some registry functions)

i run it standard, without admin.
ps. i have chevron hack + NoDo updated + all wp7 developer programs
AND it woks fine! DANKE!

I have NoDo + Locked + WP7 Tools + UAC disabled.
Mhm,... I'll try this on another machine.

danke!!! Thanks!!! that's the tool we were waiting for!!!! you're the man!

Works great with my (locked) HTC Arrive.

Works great with my unlocked HTC 7 Pro(Win XP,Win 7)

Works with Omnia 7 but I am seeing two icons for portable devices in my computer... Can you look into this?
Phone is on NoDo with C7 unlock and Samsung tools to prevent relocking.

It enables all found zune devices. If you've flashed your phone to a new version the "old one" (=zune device registration) is still stored in the registry. Ignore them :]

Works fine with Win 7 and HD7 after starting with admin rights...cool !!!

[TESTERS REQUIRED] Retail Device Unlock - bootloader unlock for W10M phones

Hey,
@gus33000 and myself have been working on a new app, called Retail Device Unlock, it will install a secure boot policy (ie, BOOTLOADER UNLOCK) on any Windows Phone (that can get to w10m by any means).
I kinda have a lack of testers right now, and without testers the app release won't happen any time soon.
Please to note that testers must be using a spare phone that you don't care if it gets bricked. Said phone must be running Windows Mobile 10 and be interop unlocked, using either latest vcreg (if Lumia x5x) or Interop Tools (if not).
If you're interested in testing, or just interested in progress, head to https://rol.im/chat/rtchurch
Thanks.

As is listed above. USE A SPARE PHONE THAT YOU DON'T CARE IF IT GETS BRICKED. DO NOT use your daily phone for this. Follow all instructions that are listed by @gus33000 and @Wack0Distractor.
Do not post any cries for help due to bricking your phone. Let's try to keep this as clean as possible.
I REPEAT... DO NOT USE A PHONE THAT YOU'RE UNWILLING TO PART WITH .

There aren't any Roms now, because there is no bootloader unlock available yet. Once the unlock gets publicly released, the roms will start flowing.
