That sucks, was hoping that this would be addressed in this new version, so basically it doesn't work just like 1.7. What phone are you using? is it an HTC? I am using the Trophy my self and I've heard that access to the sytem files on HTC's are restricted.

The same problems on HTC TITAN, its unusable SW...
useless application
seems to work ok on mine....
HTC Titan running 7740.16 with ALL updates and chevron unlock.
To all those saying this is useless: Do you have unlocked phones? Both dev and interop? I have a hard time beliving he would release something that doesn't work at all. I'm guessing it's user error and/or ignorance of what is required to allow this to work properly.
it does "work" ... i suppose ..
Im dev and interop unlocked . While it does show a file tree , leading you to believe you could explore , 80% of the folders do not show anything inside of them . Its a great start , and actually runs extremely well . Its impressive , just hoping we can get some more access soon . Like my /Applications folder acts like there is nothing there . I am interested in hearing other peoples results .

I agree with you. There is a difference in "it works" or "it's useful". It works and looks great, but little can be done with it, especially for non-HTC users.
I can
- access the application folder. in there is a folder data with the isostores for all installed applications, which is a new feature in v1.8.
- access ringtones in my documents/ringtones
- add and populate installed applications in WPDM "Manage Applications"
- see first level folders under windows, but no access
- only pin folders of apps that are pre-installed (default in touchexperience). None of the apps I installed, either through WPDM or otherwise, show up. No ability to create folders with Mktplace apps.
- not backup installed applications. It always reports "no data" for app, even though the isostore contains data and the size of the app is listed in WPDM.
- use the update feature, however it finds updates for all installed apps, even though they are all up to date and opens Zune when clicking update.
the only difference from 1.7 is access to isostore for me.
Otherwise it looks beautiful but is pretty much not very useful at the moment. See attached captures for details

WOW, you can browse your My Documents folder and send ringtones to it via WPM?
Doesn't run on my win7 32bit. I have all the dependencies but it does the same thing since 1.6 just asks for admin rights, does nothing...
I installs and works as far as it running on my HTC Trophy but it doesn't do anything useful. I know how to configure it, intall it and run it, iv'e been using it since version 1.3 so lack of knowlage isn't the issue. The issue is that with Mango some MFG's loaded some updates to make the system files unaccecable. This sucks ass and is all Microsoft's fault, they are hell bent on locking WP like the stupid gayPhone. I sure miss WM right about now.
Eh, WPDM 1.8 doesn't even install TouchXperience on my phone (HD7, dev and interop unlocked). It detects when the phone is connected, but since it isn't installing TouchXperience, it's unable to actually communicate with the phone worth a damn, so the majority of the features don't work at all (even less than people are saying).
This version works very fine with my Mozart (Using my custom Rom) with unregister user. Maybe now schap public free version for everyone.
It works in my Develop Unlocked HTC Titan !
My device IS NOT Interop Unlocked !
Device Manager allow me to browse my device files ... in /Windows and I can even see the IsolatedStorage of every app !
It even allows me to send Ringtones and take Screenshot from my Titan ...
Really good work and really good news for WP Community !
The only thing I don't understand :
In the TouchExplorer app I can read 'Paris' at the bottom of the page. I dunno how to change the localization service settings ... I live at Rome ....
EDIT : sending ringtones doesn't work, pheraps I should try 30seconds or less ringtones ...
The "Paris" at the bottom is just an example; it's showing you how you can pin map locations. You can remove it or replace it with your own location.

What device are you using ? It actually did install touxperience on mine ...
As I said, HD7 (7720, TMO-US).
It eventually installed TouchXperience, but now it simply complains that it can't start it. I have to start TX manually on the phone before WPDM can do anything at all useful. Beyond that, it *kinda* works.
It installs Te on my hd7 7720 without any problem,It is much better than 1.7 coz in 1.7 i need to install the wpdm fix inorder to let it work.For touch explorer I don't use it for now.

Hi there, thanks for this greate tools. I've try some. unfortunately for USBModeSwitch.xap, once installed then please never try to switch to DIAG mode. this will caused you cant sync your device (in my case HTC HD7) with zune. then when device restarted, system popup, the application has been REVOKE my microsoft, please uninstall (with only OK button). Bamm... then I only have choice to click ok button. After that the application has been uninstall. Followed by other apps that has install using application deployment.
So my problem now is, i cant turn my device back to ZUNE mode. demmm~ is that really the apps has been revoke by Microsoft? demm again... all apss install with apps dep. gone.

Thank you for your interest to help.
It looks as if this tool by software locks the storage card.
In the bootloader mode is selected 16GB like the size from the storagecard.
I don't have an HTC device (I have the Samsung Omnia 7), and I want to understand what happens after you use the StorageFullTool.xap
From the source code, it calls driver2.myIOCTL_SetStorageFullStatus(false, ref uRetStatus); then driver2.myIOCTL_ClearStorage(ref uRetStatus); to clear the storage it seems.
The same source code has a function called Thread_EnableFullTest which calls simply driver2.myIOCTL_SetStorageFullStatus(true, ref uRetStatus);
and driver2.myIOCTL_ClearStorage(ref uRetStatus);
The question now is, can you use your device at all? if yes can you install apps on it?

Currently, there is this:
- No storage because the operating system needs everything.
- 13.03 MB Storage total.
- No Windows Live Mail account or POP mail possible, as no storage.
- No, nothing possible to install or using. :-(
Connect with Zune is possible, only without else to sync.
Hope this help you.

did you got the regedit xap working ?
(I cant read anything )
This is discussed elsewhere, but deep within other threads, so I wanted to give it it's own thread to help people in finding out how to prevent Zune from relocking WP7 devices. It only works on HTC devices for now because TouchXplorer only works for HTC devices.
1. Install TouchXplorer
2. Install HTC Connection Setup
3. Download and extract this zip file to your PC.
4. Deploy the extracted XAP to your device
5. If XBMOD.Files.Deployer does not automatically run, run it from your App list on your device.
6. Using TouchXplorer on your device, copy \My Documents\My Ringtones\CustClear.provxml to \Windows\
7. Run HTC Connection Setup on your device, hit the ok button (with the check mark) to let it provision.
8. You're done.
If you unlock with ChevronWP7, apply this hack, and then for some reason your phone relocks, refer to DanielNTX's post to get it unlocked again. You need to install a new certificate, provided on his post.
All credit goes to xboxmod and his HTC Registry Editing thread and HTC WP7 Apps thread.
Hope it works for me... "thanks"
I tried this before and it didn't work. It revoked every application I had downloaded.
Yeah I had this done for a while but my question is can I uninstall the program once I've done everything else? It looks ugly in my app list =/
This Didn't work for me, had finally got it unlocked, came back 3 hours later, connected with this installed and also with flight mode on and now my phone's relocked. Make sure to block Windows Mobile Zune Communication Service from your firewall, while that was blocked it didn't relock

Thanks. This works well. Finally, I don't need to unlock everytime after zune syncing.
Do you think this patch will be removed by MS at the next update as well as chevron unlock?
I think that chevron (the phone unlocker) doesn't work after OSupdate.
Yes, the method that ChevronWP7 uses will be disabled in the update... but that doesn't mean it won't be cracked open again.
After applying this patch there are 2 files in the My Ringtones dir - one of them is restoreCustClear.provxml file, which means it will revert the registry changes done by the first provxml file (custClear.provxml).
Do you think that if I activate my phone the Marketplace will start working as usual - downloading any apps without the error "can't get info right now... come back after a little while" , AFTER I've installed the above patch for not relocking the phone? I.e. in other words can I side-load apps and simultaneously continue to use the legacy Marketplace without any problems?
@thesecondsfade, applied the patch on my HD2.

Yes, you can sideload and download from the Marketplace simultaneously. I do it now on my HD7. It should be the same with an activated HD2.

INSTALLING HOMEBREW APPS
Ok, so I figured out how to get a homebrew app installed that has "INTEROPSERVICES".
NOTE: Most apps still don't load/work, but at least they can be installed. So, maybe someone can figure out what to do from here. In fact, the only app that works properly that I've tested is Navigator Select. Granted this app is probably signed with a cert or what ever because it's from an OEM.
Instructions;
1) Extract the XAP using 7Zip/WinRAR/etc.
2) Find WMAppManifest.xml & open it in an editor (Wordpad/Notepad/VS/Word/etc.).
3) Delete the line "<Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/>"
4) Save the file.
5) Compress all files from XAP into a ZIP
6) Rename ZIP to XAP
7) Install
RESUMIBLE APPS
Also, I found this article.
In order to make an app resumible, we'll edit the same file as above, but this tome we're going to add "ActivationPolicy="Resume"" to the "<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="PivotPage.xaml" />" line so it looks like "<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="PivotPage.xaml" ActivationPolicy="Resume"/>". Save file compress everything to ZIP & rename to XAP same as above. Now install apps using what ever side loader you like. I used "Tom XAP Installer".
NOTE: DON'T use the resumible hack on Navigator Select, at least on Mango. Otherwise it'll just show a black screen if you open it from the start menu/app list when you have a map open. You can still use task switcher to open it, but just not worth it. Than again this could be a Mango problem with the resume hack.
Anyone out there with a T-Mobile USA HD7 happen to have WPDM from Schaps installed & no Mango Beta? If so, can you see if you can copy out the TMOUS Cert that should be on your device. I'm on Mango, so cant. I want to try to sign a homebrew app with that cert & see if it'll work on Mango Beta.
I rolled back but have the HTC 7 Pro, so I can send you that cert, maybe you can edit it so it works with the HD7?
Glad to see you working on this btw .

Thank you, it shouldn't matter which HTC device it comes from. The main issue is I'm on T-Mobile so for my device has T-Mobile's OEM cert on it where your 7 Pro most likely doesn't. Probably has a Verizon OEM or for what ever OEM you're on. Your device might have an HTC Cert though. The main thing I'm looking for is a cert that's trusted & allowed INTEROPSERVICES access as OEM's/Manufacturers are the only ones allowed this atm. This is why Navigon Select works even though it has INTEROPSERVICES. I'm hoping I can use the SDKCert Signer tool & an OEM cert to sign the dll's/mui's in the XAP with.
I'm on an unbranded HTC 7 Pro. If you walk me through extracting whatever certs you can use I'm more than happy to do it.

Okay, you'll need WPDM. Install that to your pc/laptop. Once you run it the first time, it'll prompt to install TouchXperience. Open TouchXperience on your 7 Pro. Now WPDM will sync with it. Now open the file manager in WPDM on your PC. The certs should be in \windows or one of it's sub directories. I don't remember exactly where I saw them. Try to find one with HTC or Test in the file name. You can than copy if & paste it into windows explorer somewhere to zip it up & upload it here.
Unsigned app limit
Any idea which homebrew can get rid of the unsigned applications limit on Mango?
I am afraid of removing all my unsigned apps for nothing
Before following the OPs suggestions I was not able to deploy Navigon Select onto my device. After editing WMAppManifest.xml I was finally able to deploy it again. Sadly it won't work. After startup it tells me that it can't complete the registry process due to not being able to connect to the network. Pitty.

In order to deploy you have to edit that file I listed in the OP. I've got v1.3 installed as US maps only works with v1.3 & is what the map loader software came with.

That sux, the server must not recognize a Mango device or something. My only suggestion is if you have iPhone Maps for Navigon Select, use Map Loader found here on XDA to load those maps.

dkp are you dev unlocked?
WPDM is broken, it doesn't work with the new beta tools. I uninstalled them and reinstalled WPDM but it crashes on load. Unfortunately I don't have the time to mess with this now so if anyone else can provide the certs that'd be great.
Running touchxperience on my phone I can't find an HTC or Test folder in \windows.

No problem, I have the same problem with WPDM & the beta tools. I may just have to go back to NoDo to get them myself. At least now someone made a BAT files to update so hopefully I won't have to reset my HD7 to get back into Mango again.
Hi hackers,
Version 2.1 of DeployProvXML is here, and should be more robust than the previous version:
1: The CustClear.provxml file is now copied both using the filesystem DLL (like v1) and using XML provisioning (hopefully works aroudn the HTC update blocking filesystem access.
2: The CustClear.provxml file is now self-chaining. Really, this time - so long as you run the program *once*, you can even change the included CustClear.provxml, re-deploy, and run Connection Setup; your new version will then be copied to \Windows. (Re-run CS to actually process your new version). No more need to re-run DeployProvXML after each use of Connection Setup!
3. The program now contains more diagnostics. It sets a registry value at launch (using ComRegRW.DLL), changes that registry value (using provxml) when deploying the file, and changes it again when the deployed file is processed by Connection Setup (as part of the CustClear.provxml). It also checks that the value is as expected avter deploying.
REQUEST:
Anybody who has an interop-unlocked HTC phone with the latest official HTC update (meaning you can't use TouchXplorer anymore), please run this app, then run Connection Setup, then use a registry editor to check the key HKCU\Software\DeployProvXML. It should have a value, LastOperation. Please include the data in the value (or the fact that it doesn't exist) with your reports. Thank you!
Description:
Another handy little utility for people with HTC phones, this app simply copies a CustClear.provxml file from its install directory to \Windows, then exits. The idea is to make sure that you're never without at least a basic file that can be used by Connection Setup to unlock your phone. New in v2, every time you run Connection Setup, the file will automatically restore itself to the Windows directory. This ensures you'll never accidentally get caught with a locked phone after an upgrade or something!
The included Provxml has three parts. However, you can customize it however you like by opening the XAP file and editing the embedded provxml. The parts are:
1: Applies the registry settings to unlock the phone, including Interop-Unlock.
2: Applies a test value in the registry, at HKCU\Software\DeployProvXML. This value is harmless but can be used to test if the app is working.
3: Chain-copies itself from DeployProvXML's install folder into Windows again, replacing the copy that Connection Setup consumes.
Note that this program does not actaully apply the provxml, merely copies it to where Connection Setup expects to find it. It should close immediately after starting; this is not a bug. If you see a dialog box instead, something went wrong and you should report it below!
This program is only going to work on HTC phones, since it uses the HTC DLLs for provxml, file access, and registry. It is a 7.0 app but is compatible with Mango if you have Interop Unlock already.
XAP is in DeployProvxml\bin\debug. Source included for those interested.
Do you think a deployer for OMNIA 7 is possible ?
Maybe with a .dll of WP7 Root Tools ?
So users who didn´t prepare their device for our OnDevice provxml app under NoDo could also enable this feature...

This has been solved I can finally test the app myself now. I changed the path to copy the provxml from the iso storage of the app instead of the provxml folder.
Interop.Services
Just read this http://translate.google.com/transla...oducing-windows-phone-7-5-native-programming/
Any joy?
Looks cool, but I'll need to investigate further. It has definitley been reproted that Homebrew apps without ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES don't work even in Mango. It sounds like this guy is maybe using a marketplace signed DLL, though? Not sure - the translation isn't great. He's working from an app that I've never explored, and that appears to be specific to the Japanese Mango phone.
how do we use it. will it permanently unlock when we update to official Mango?

Install app in NoDo.
Run in once.
Upgrade to Mango.
Run the Connection Setup app (from Marketplace).
Hit "OK" in Connection Setup.
Your phone is now dev-unlocked and will not automatically relock. Additionally, you can now install Mango homebrew.
I suggest you then run DeployProXml again, since installing an update, even something like a HTC firmware update, may re-lock the phone. So long as you've run DeployProvXml since the last time you ran Connection Setup, though, you can unlock again.
If this helps, please hit Thanks!

he does pretty much the same from what I read. You just use oem dll's and have some native functions to work with. f/e htc has file operations + regoperations + provxml, samsung has regoperations + provxml (trough which you can do regops). This manufacturer dll probably contains fileops as well, which is nice since there might also be a chance that there will be a working provxml method and with the fileops you can copy the provxml files to the desired location. In theory ofcourse.

There are two differences that are worth noting, though.
A) This is a phone that came with Mango. There was never any chance to unlock it for Mango homebrew. It blocks apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES - something we had to work around with registry edits.
B) Related to A, he can call native code without having ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. This isn't supposed to be possible at all. Makes me wonder if he's actually calling anything in the DLL or if he's just loading the COM object but not using it and calling that success.

Ahh yeah your right. Yeah I realy wonder what the trick behind it is and if he manages to install it.
Something else I have not tried yet, but what happens if you deploy it without the id_cap and than run it. It will not work obviously, but what happens if you redeploy with the tag in? Will it still get rejected? Because the phone rejects the app I think.
Hey, the ZIP contains a folder, which, if I package into a XAP, fails on deployment. What's the best way to get this packaged into a usable XAP?
trying to figure out how to install this app.
@thesecondsfade:
Bottom line of the first post:
"XAP is in DeployProvxml\bin\debug. Source included for those interested."
I distribute most of my apps this way, unless the source is really big and the XAP alone is a significantly smaller download for some reason.
@Ttblondey:
Is your phone dev-unlocked?
Is your phone either pre-Mango, or interop-unlocked?
Do you have a XAP deployment program and the Zune software?

My TouchXplorer does not work anymore after updating to the official Mango, though my phone is still unlocked. This XAP will definitely helps if new firmware/updates come along to deploy Provxml to /windows.
I've installed it but how can I verify if this is being installed/copied to /windows?

This app uses the same DLL as TouchXplorer, which means it doesn't work either (I wrote a number of apps using that DLL, including a backup tool, and none of them can see any files anymore). I'm not sure exactly what was changed, but yeah, they broke it. My hope is that Heathcliff74's WP7 Root Tools will restore file browsing on HTC soon.
As soon as I finish restoring my phone, I'll try writing a version of the app that uses ProvXML to copy the file, instead of ComFileRW.dll (which no longer works if you get the final HTC update). Using ProvXML is limited in some ways - you can't browse the filesystem, for example - but it works great for this type of operation.
i'm on force unlock from Ansar's thread with Pedbe way final mango.Been trying to use advancedconfig 1.3,1.4 battery meter it don't work anymore.Good thing I can sideload(that's important)

@GoingInside, and anybody else in the same boat (latest HTC update installed, filesystem browsing broken), please try the latest version (v2, now on the initial post)! After running the app once, run Connection Setup and hit OK. After you do that, use a Registry Editor to check for the presence of the following registry key: HKCU\Software\DeployProvXML.
Please report whether that key is present. If it is, that means the app is fully functional even with the latest update!
I only have a NoDo Backup (my phone came with nodo) - can I get the interop unlock trough dev unlocking the phone and then running our app?
nvm, I am now downgrading to NoDo and Will then update to the HTC RTM (the one that Comes via zune). As soon as I am there I will tell you if i had luck with it or not (I hope I can interopunlock on NoDo as the 3 apps sideloadlimit is crap)
Update 1: I am on NoDo and I started your app. It cloesd, i went to Connection Setup and ran it. Will check if the registry value is there as soon as some XAPs are deployed (first time that I can deploy more than 3 XAPs )
Update 2: Now going trough the Beta - RTM - HTC Update Update marathon. Will Report back as soon as I am on HTC's RTM

Unfortunately, it seems that the new XAP (v2) doesn't work as well. Copy and deploy the latest DeployProvXML.xap (dated 5/10/2011) to my HTC trophy. After running Connection Setup, I can't find the registry key: HKCU\Software\DeployProvXML. I only found MICROSOFT under HKCU/Software/.
But please continue your research into this. THANKS!
UPDATE 2: Heathcliff74 has taken a look into the reason that this method wasn't working on phones with the HTC updates for Mango, and appears to have found a work-around! I strongly suggest that people try his version instead of mine. The instructions are similar but not identical. Scroll down to the bottom of this first post and use the HTC Interop Unlock XAP located there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
If you want to post your results in this thread, please specify which XAP you are using, mine or Heathcliff74's. There are known limitations with mine. There still seem to be some limits with his, be we aren't sure exactly what they are yet.
UPDATE: This is disappointing, but apparently HTC has put yet another roadblock in our way. I'm working on a way around the next one. I can't say how long it will take, but I beat the last one (process arbitrary provxml on an interop-locked phone) and I'll beat this one (allow Connection Setup to modify the registry again, after the HTC updates).
I'll update this thread again when I have a new version to test. Guesses as to the problem's root cause, suggestions for fixing it, and anything else you've found are all welcome.
I'm not taking the initial release of the app down, but unless you have an HTC phone which somehow is on Mango, doesn't have the HTC updates, and isn't already interop-unlocked, this isn't going to do anything for you. If you are in that situation, have at it - for now though, I'm just leaving it up so people can download it and pull it apart.
What it does: Modifies your HTC phone to allow maximum unsigned apps, which will also allow you to deploy and run apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. This does not require rolling back to pre-Mango. It is designed for use on stock ROMs. It is expected to work on all GSM HTC Windows Phone 7 devices. It might even work on the Arrive (can't hurt to try). You can read more about Interop Unlock here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
What it needs:
HTC Windows Phone (in theory, any of them)
Developer-unlock (AppHub account or ChevronWP7 Labs should be fine)
Connection Setup app (it's in Marketplace under HTC Apps)
What you do:
0) Install Connection Setup, if you haven't already.
1) Start Connection Setup, just to make sure it works. You don't have to do anything, just start it.
2) Exit Connection Setup using the Back button (so it's not running or suspended).
3) Install HtcInteropUnlock.xap. You don't need to run it.
4) Run Connection Setup again.
5) Expand the AppBar menu (... at the bottom) and choose "manual select".
5.a) The Country and Carrier list-picker boxes should become enabled.
5.b) If they don't, hit "manual select" again, it takes two taps on my phone.
6) Tap on Country and select "Phone Customization" (you can use the jump list to get to P quickly).
7) Carrier should automatically change to "Dev and Interop Unlock" (make sure this happens).
8) Hit the check mark at the bottom (AppBar "ok").
9) Make sure it reports success, then hit Done.
10) Try to install / run an interop app (or just install an 11th unsigned app).
Please report what happens, including the following info:
Your phone model (mine is HTC HD7, T-Mobile US branded).
Your version info (mine is 7720, no HTC Mango updates).
Success or failure of the whole operation.
If failure, indicate the exact step that went wrong, and what happened instead.
Be aware: This method does not damage your data connection in any way, but it will probably prevent Connection Setup from working normally. This can be undone. However, I didn't want to put the effort into making it reversible until I knew whether it worked on other phones, so if you need Connection Setup for its official purpose, don't install the initial release of this app.
This app builds on the work of multiple members of our community. Special thanks go to:
Heathcliff74, for researching interop-unlock and discovering the xap-deployer hack.
kounadisk, for researching how to add custom entries to Connection Setup.
I am already interop-unlocked but
OMG I am tempted to roll back to nodo, update the official way then unlock this way!
Watching this thread Kudos!
For what it's worth, I'm interop-unlocked already too, so I haven't actually tested this app on a non-IU phone. However, it should work just fine, provided that Connection setup was installed from the Marketplace.
On the plus side, by using this method you can restore your interop-unlock if you ever lose it (if you IUed the way I did, then an update might cause you to lose IU without being able to get it back the same way - but this method should still work).
that's worked
W00t! Can you please tell me your phone model and software version too? Thanks!

Read the instructions...You just install the app and the follow the other steps. No need to open it.
Nothing special is supposed to happen. The change is invisible. As for the Interop Unlock app itself, it's just a stub - all of the "what it does" is entirely in the install process. Once it's installed, you can even remove the app.
Try installing this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519
If you can install it (without modifying the XAP file) then your interop-unlock worked!
Alternatively, try installing Registry Editor 1.2.0.0 from TouchXperience: http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593. It goes in the Settings hub, but if you can install and run that, then there was great success!

I suspect this might not work if you have the HTC updates installed.... the OP indicated he has not installed any HTC updates
Ok, tried this on my HTC Titan.
I selected "Phone Customization" as country and "Dev and Interop Unlock" as carrier and applied these settings. The Connection Setup app reported that it successfully configured the phone.
But ... it does not seem to have any effect (yet, I hope!). I still can't sideload more than 10 apps.
My Titan is on WP7 version 7.10.7740.16.
Connection Setup app is version 1.12 (build 2119.18323)/
I'm hoping it works anyhow, but it's possible it wouldn't. It really depends what's in those updates.
For example, we know they modified the HTCFileUtility driver in some way, but we don't know exactly how. TouchXplorer stopped working, but Connection Setup (which also uses ComFileRW.dll) still works. I know it works because if it didn't, you wouldn't be able to see the Phone Customization option.
It's possible that the update made some other change that made it impossible to change the MaxUnsignedApp value from within Connection Setup or something unfortunate like that.
I can modify the app to make some more obvious change when Connection Setup does its thing. For example, forcibly change your phone's accent color or some such. Really, though, I'm hoping that won't be needed.
One thing to try is rebooting the phone. I don't think it's required, but it can't hurt and might help.
Can you make it write to a specific registry path and then tell us what that path is. I would like to see if it can at least write to the registry.
Dev/Interop applies from Connection Setup but can't install an app with interop (ansar's USBModeSwitch XAP) enabled (in my case 3rd unsigned app since i have a student account).
Mozart 7720, with latest HTC updates installed.
update: rebooted. not installing still. it auto-starts Connection Setup, ran it again, doesnt work still.
cheers.

Rebooting does not help... Still can't sideload more than 10 apps.
I think it would be a good idea to try and edit some other registry setting in the provxml, that has visible consequences. Then at least we can verify if changing that setting works.
Didnt work for me. Unbranded HD7, HTC Updates 7720.
Sounds promising though
@MJCS: It already writes a test value to the registry:
KEY: HKCU\Software\DeployProvXml
VALUE: InteropUnlock
DATA: "Success" (String)
Can somebody who was already interop-unlocked but has installed the HTC updates use this app, then check if that value exists? It does on my phone, but of course I don't have the HTC updates.
What are the passwords for the dbz files?
Nevermind its 030D681B-1DFC-4bd0-A72A-A9B3CCCDA653
Yeah there must be some sort of time-bomb that clears out the interop setting.

My HD7S has all the latest updates, and is already interop-unlocked.
I tried the app out, and checked the registry and found no such entry.
I hope you get this figured out today before I pick up my Titan. Haha.
