When wanting to put content on my phone I wanted to add it into the phones file explorer, much to my delight I found there was TouchXplorer allowing you to access the phones file system.
Sadly there was no way to copy content into this explorer and use it apart from the registry hack zune method but it renames files and causes more problems than is worth.
Recently ultrashot came out with a ported version of Opera. I looked into this further and found this was a good way to put files on the phone.
Step 1.
Download the XAPDeployer.xap file attached in post also install WinRAR, google it.
Step 2.
You'll see there is a folder called Opera, open the folder.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step 3.
You'll see the same as the image below. This is where you can add the content you want to put into your phones file explorer. Simply just click and drag into the WinRAR window and click okay to the message.
Step 4.
Once done you can now install the XAP to your phone using Toms XAP installer. Once thats done run Opera Mini on your phone, it won't work but it will install the files you want into program files.
Step 5.
Install TouchXplorer attached at the bottom of the post and open it on the phone, navigate to Program Files / Opera Mini / and there you will find your files!
Notes:
There is also a windows folder inside the XAP which will copy files into the windows folder if needed.
Don't know if this has helped but I thought i'd get this out there
This has been around for a while. Heathcliff made the deployment XAP. Personally i just use WPDM as it allows easy drag & drop from PC Windows Explorer into WPDM window. No editing/deploying XAP's needed.
This has been known for... a few months, at least? First discovered by Heathcliff74.
Your method will still put the files in the application install directory (I mean, you're only going down one level and then back up again, why?) If you want to put files in the root of the phone, or any directory other than the \Applications directory off the root of the phone, you need to go up four levels (..\..\..\..) since the app install directory is \Applications\Install\<GUID>\Install.
I prefer 7-Zip; it's free, open-source, integrates pretty well with Windows without sticking a bunch of entries in the context menu directly, and is generally good software. It'll read anything, although due to the RAR format being proprietary I believe it's not allowed to write it (not that it couldn't, the RAR developers just refuse to open up their format - screw 'em).
Also, you really shold give credit where credit is due; TouchXplorer is the work of Julian Schapman, "schaps" on this forum, and is posted on his site http://touchxperience.com. Additionally, be aware that it only works on HTC devices, and even then only on ones with unlocked HTCFileUtility drivers, which means either they don't have the HTC Mango update (typically bundled with the Microsoft 7720.68 update) or are using a custom ROM or something like that. For Samsung devices, there is WP7 Root Tools by Heathcliff74, which also includes a file browser.

Agreed, also WPDM now works on Mango v2 Drivers for HTC. I'm using the DFT 7740 ROM & used it to copy in my custom icons & than his Advanced Config to change the icons.
is there any way I can deploy files directly to Windows\fonts folder on Samsung Focus?
Also I cant transfer files with WPDM to windows folder or windows\fonts folder
any ideas?
Build a provxml file. The specification for provxml is publicly available from Microsoft (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/gg155017). An easy way to move the files is to include them in a XAP and install it. Then, either deploy your provxml to the \Provxml\ folder (like the interop-unlock XAP does) or use an app like DiagProvXML (which will also assist you in building the file, if you want).
probably this is only a stupid idea, so i'm writing here instead of creating a new topic for it.
Idea for universal Interop-unlock, tell me if it sounds right:
i read that we can deploy registry editor if you remove the interop privileges string from the xml config files. With this you can only read the registry.
Well, if we can read the registry can't we make another application for a total registry dump?
After the dump was made we can edit the app-limit and copy that file on the computer.
Using the already know exploit that this thread is recalling.. we can overwrite the old registry with the new modded one.
overwriting the registry sounds sooooooooooooooo wrong, but maybe it could be a way to do the interop unlock, what do you all think about that?

I don't think this will be possible, but please correct me if i;m wrong:
* Without interop unlock we don't even have read access to the whole registery, dumping the phone's registry without interop unlock will therefor lead to an incomplete backup
* Restoring the registery by copying over on filesystem level almost certainly is not possible because of for example open file handlers to the current registery (which will prevent it from being overwritten). I don't know if special permissions (policies) are required (e.g. interop unlock) to overwrite this kind of system files [can we overwrite any file on WP as long as it is nog being used?]. The registry might be tagged as a ROM file (it ships with the ROM anyway) so even with interop unlock we will not be able to overwrite it.
Briefcase has it mostly right. Leaving aside the issue of being able to make a full registry backup (typically requires high permissions i.e. intoper-unlock already), you can't overwrite the registry hives with this. For one thing, the files that store them are located in the Windows folder, which this hack can't write to (the App manager not having write permission there). For another, they are almost certainly held with exclusive file handles.

I'm facing a rather tricky problem.
Adobe Flash LE has a file called searchtext.bmp, same goes for the taskmanager that i'm using....BuildOS says there is redundant files (already exists)...what can I do to avoid this conflict?
Same thing happened to audio manager and audio booster. I first installed audio manager, then I installed audio booster. They happen to be using the same file name for some apps, and as a result, audio manager's skin was messed up because audio booster's skin file overwritten it
cook one in and use a cab for the other!
one thing you can do, is that you cook the bitmap file as a different name, say, package A has a file called myfile.bmp, and package B as well. what you need to do is cook the file in B as myfile_.bmp and an initflashfiles.txt with the entry such as:
Directory("\Program Files\ProgramB"):-File("myfile.bmp","\windows\myfile_.bmp")
that should work.
** this means that, program A and B would be in \program files\ instead of \windows\.

Allan, that will not work as I mentioned in my thread that it will overwrite the file with the same name.
@kazuni
That sounds like a plan, seperating them into different folders. I'm gonna try and see if it works
What about same DLL?
Another questions I have is about same DLL. For example, Comm manager uses a dll called phcanOverbmp.dll. I noticed that the "White battery Icon" fix also uses the same DLL, but they are of different size with Comm manager's version @ 500+kb, while the battery fix version @ at smaller size.
Which DLL should I keep?
Can I keep the one that is larger and apply the registry settings found in the battery fix?

as long as your program isnt hard coded to use \windows\phcanOverbmp.dll then you can make the OEM package for Comm Manager to reside in another folder and use its own phcnaOverbmp.dll
if not, then you will have to try and see if you do not apply the battery fix at rom cooking, then manually copy the file over into your pda after bootup, and see. that way, you are trying both original commanager and batteryfix's phcanOverbmp.dll and see if they can coexist.
remember, you cannot use file explorer to copy over a file that already existed in rom from another location. you would have to copy it as a different name, and then put it inside \windows\ and then rename the file as the original file name.
see if that helps?
actually, I don't think I even need to replace the phcanOverbmp.dll
the "fix" pretty much just sets the parameter "BatteryIconIdStart" to integer: 1001
Looking at the fix in Schap's thread, the Integer was set to 1000....does anybody know what difference does it make?
The .bmp in the taskmanager isn't needed.
The phcanoverbmp in the comm manager is a stock version. Remove it from the package if your going to install a custom one from somewhere else. The larger one probably has Schaps battery indicator.
Typically, duplicate files are caused from re-introducting a file that isn't needed - typically from to packages that were compiled and one inadvertently getting an unnecessary file.
You're on the right track with asking what the difference is, but sometimes I'll grab a cab for the package I'm trying to install and compare the files. In many cases, that's solved the mystery.
Another suggestion is if you're customizing your own kitchen, you might put everything into the OEMApps folder. Thay way you're not adding additional .dsm/.rgu files into your rom unnecessarily. Just copy the files over and paste the .rgu contents (following the guildelines for doing so) to the OEMApps folder .rgu.
Matt,
Actually most of the time I'd take the cab, decommission it, and compare it to some of the premade packages to see what the differences are, then i'd use my own discretion to recreate my own package.

You mean I could just go into the packages, take out all the content and copy them into OEMApps, along with the respective .rgu?
What happens to the initflashfiles.txt then? Do I combine all the initflashfiles into one big initflashfiles for all the apps and put it in there as well?
And the benefit of doing this is saving some spaces from the all the .dsm files?
yeah, you would also need to put in the appropriate entries for the initflashfiles.txt
one little advice, i have had a lot of problem with his is that,
option.xml is in UTF format;
initflashfiles.txt is in UTF format;
anything.rgu is in UTF format as well;
but shortcuts are all in ANSI stardard format.
have fun
lol, yeah most of them are in unicode. When I just started getting into cooking, I wasn't even sure if .dsm is suppose to be in unicode or ansi since most of the guides only say to create rgu in unicode, none said anything about whether dsm should also be in unicode or ansi. But anyway, for those who are looking for the answer, .dsm is in ansi
Problem #1
I've still got a few tiny bugs I need to fix for my rom. When I create the "accessories" and "system tools" folder with the line:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Accessories")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories"):-File("W5torage.lnk","\Windows\W5torage.lnk")
The first line should create the folder for accessories. However, the folder that it created is just the generic folder.
How can I get windows to create the accessories folder like the one in the picture below?

Same goes for the system folder.
Problem #2
Another thing I'm having problem with is getting autoconfig to run. I've created the following:
Folder name: Preconfig
With the following content:
-preautorun.exe
-preautorun.lnk
-HTC_Default.tsk
-Preconfig.txt
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
EXEC:\Windows\SetHSDPA.exe /Enable
EXEC:\Windows\cusTSK.exe \Windows\HTC_Default.tsk
LOCK:Disabled
RST: Reset
I then created a dsm file and populated it with buildDSM. I toss it into the OEM folder and ran buildOS....it didn't work Am I missing something?
BTW, kazuni & matt, thanks for helping me out, you guys have been really helpful
Edit: Problem two solution
I'm an idiot, it's missing the provxml
Question
What is the App_Service.dll for? I was examining the pandora kitchen's OEM package for Pre-settings and in both ATT preconfig were the App_Service.dll, but it wasnt there in the Orange_UK's presettings..

The only way you can make them is specifying an icon file. if you take a look and unhide the folder there, there is an icon.ico or a dll there.
Actually, I found the solution after looking at the initflashfiles.dat from another rom which has the folders and here's what I found:
Code:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("Accessories")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Accessories"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\accessoriesico.lnk")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"):-Directory("System Tools")
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools"):-File("icon.lnk","\Windows\systemtoolsico.lnk")
That's one less problem!
New Problem
One other odd problem I'm having is with the theme. For some reasons windows wont apply the theme properly for the first time with my rom, the theme is only partially applied with some "leftovers" from the windows default theme...like some parts being blue and etc. Sometimes I need to reapply the theme several times to get it applied properly. Does anybody know what's causing the problem. I've had the same problem last time and somehow it just disappeared in one of my test roms but it is now back.
Hi Folks,
when I ('m trying to) cook ROMs for Asus P525 its quite annoying flashing again and again on the slightest change (debugging). Especially the translating thing is veeery time consuming.
So, I created a little ROM kitchen for the Microsoft Windows Mobile Emulator. So far, its beta state and only testet with WM6.1 images. BUT, it works.

Known Bugs
Unable to install any CABs (with some SYSs it seem to work, see post #10). I'm working on that one .
How to
Place PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN as template in BaseROM
Run UnpackEmuRom.cmd
Modify SYS and OEM as you like
Run RepackEmuRom.cmd
Start Device Emulator using the created NewRom.bin by running RunEmulator.
07/28/2008
Fixed: This image-replacing works.
Fixed: CPU load is normal.
Fixed: OEM folders are replaced in OEM (not in SYS).
Added: The Device Emulator program itself (you can test your ROM using the new batch 3_RunEmulator.bat)
07/25/2008
Fixed: Cleaning cleaned to much.
Download
samWMEmuKitchen_0.2b.rar
OMGsh...If this works...
Bugfix: Cleaning cleaned too much
Ok, I applied a little bugfix on the cleanup cmd. Using this cleaned the (necessary) binaries for the rebuild, too (which means you had to restart the whole process - UnpackEmuRom.cmd ... - again).
With the bugfix (download above) only the repack files are cleaned (except the created ROM ). So you can run Repack-cmd and use the cleaning cmd several times.
Update
New update: 0.2beta.
Fixed: This image-replacing works now.
Fixed: CPU load is normal now.
Fixed: OEM folders are replaced in OEM now (not in SYS).
Added: The Device Emulator program itself (you can test your ROM using the new batch 3_RunEmulator.bat)
This whole thing seems to work now. I created a new Emu ROM doing the following:
Placed PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN as template in BaseROM
Ran UnpackEmuRom.cmd
Replaced some stuff (taken from my Asus P525 cooking)
Replaced the whole SYS folder by another one (Build 5.2.20270 AKU 1.3.1)
Added some SYS stuff (Games, Office, OneNote, RemoteDesktop, .NET 3.5)
Added some OEM stuff (new Games, Calculator from HTC, JAVA)
Ran RepackEmuRom.cmd
Started Device Emulator using the created NewRom.bin by running 3_RunEmulator.bat.
Everyone familiar with ROM cooking should have no problem reproducing this.
Have fun!

this ROCKS! THANKS SamuelTee!
I was able to extract and rebuild a WM6 image!
BUT...I am unable to install CABs.
every time I try I get 'Installation of CAB unsuccessful'
it'd be nice to get this to work to test custom UCs
any ideas?
You're right. I noticed that yesterday on my own cooked EmuROM and I'm currently on it. There seems to be a problem with file permissions (since you can't even create a simple file in \Temp).
HURRAY!
I was able to get CABs to install by replacing the SYS folder with the one from my personal kitchen! It's really cool, it boots exactly like my phone (requiring screen calibration and setting time zone and password etc.)
Now I have a problem with adding stuff...there just isn't any space it seems. I can't add anything that makes the combined space used by the SYS and OEM folders any bigger than the space occupied by the original SYS and OEM folders from the original ROM dump.
It'd be awesome to be able to adjust the space to match whatever romsize your device allows during cooking so that ROMs can be tested with this.
I have a Wizard which doesn't have much memory, but, still, I can't add even half the stuff to this emulator ROM than I can add to my kitchen ROM.
I wish I knew more So I could help solve this problem, but I am totally in the dark and at the mercy of your expertise, SamuelTee.
@joemanb: Can you post your SYS for download? So I can make a diff. It makes it easier pinpointing the issue. Thanks.
Your wish is my command..

I download that file and i install it. I know that in that package there is the PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN, but i cannot understand how can make it work in the step 1.
Thanks

Ok, lets recap.
When you downloaded the package from post one (samwmemukitchen_0.2b.rar) and extracted it, there were 3 Folders (BaseROM, DeviceEmulator, Tools). The PPC_USA_GSM_VR.BIN provided with the Emulator Image Package from Microsoft should be copied in the first one: BaseROM.
Ok I've tested it today, everything works fine but there are some troubles with some package, when adding a package, like Opera then starting the emulator the screen is black and I can not do anything.

As people may know, Chevron have removed their unlocker download for WP7 so I thought I'd archive it and make it available for everyone here still:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q1T7WQMK
EDIT: Thanks to Cendaryn we also have the required security certificate - the easiest way (thanks to Talys) to install the cert and unlock your WP7 is to do as follows:
1. Unzip file, and attach chevronwp7.cer (see below for file) to an e-mail to yourself
2. Open email in WP7
3. Tap attachment once, turns it into a shield, tap it again, goes to install certificate screen with white letters on black screen
4. Click install at the bottom
5. Make sure registry is modified:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
I think the WP7 developer tools from MS does this, but you can add it in manually (it's a 32bit DWORD)
6. Plug in phone and leave Zune running
7. Run chevronwp7.exe, click both checkboxes
8. Click unlock
Excellent video tutorial here thanks to Jaxbot

Hi all !
For all devices unlocked with ChevronWP7 Unlocker , we're can easy install custom ringtones or applications .XAP format via Application Deployment , but everytimes need open start menu --> Application Deployment then browser .xap to tool for install take too much times and almost make some in us crazy
That why i decided to write Tom XAP installer , basicly Tom XAP installer and Application Deployment are the same ( Alow install custom .xap to device and emulator windows phone 7 ) But Tom XAP installer a lot convenience , it's alow you install .xap with double click to file or simple just right click --> install xap
How to :
Download exe and put it somewhere in PC, run it , it will automatic add registry path of application and add menu , icon to .XAP files

Man I need a webserver on my phone.
davux said:
I've extended jmorrill's code to include the Winsock functions to listen. The example proves that one may listen on port 80.
One problem with this library right now is that it is IPv4 only. I tried to make things generic but that was quite hard, I'm also really not very familiar with native Winsock anyway.
dl.dropbox.com/u/12359/PhoneNetworkingSample_with_listen.zip
[edit] and here's a really simple (and really hacked together - you've been warned) webserver!
dl.dropbox.com/u/12359/wp7_webserver.zip
The code is definitely *preview quality* - I pulled it together just now because I don't think I'll be able to work on this for a few days, so it'd be a starting point but I'm sure it's buggy.

I've enhanced my Webserver sample to support reading from the device (where allowed), as well as reading/writing IsolatedStorage
//dl.dropbox.com/u/12359/WP7Homebrew_Webserver.zip
The XAP is located in the Webserver project.
I am not finished, there are several issues:
- I have not implemented support for getting the local endpoint, so you need to know your phones IP address
- There is a bug somewhere that causes a problem when uploading larger files.
- There is no UI
- No authentication!
To access the webserver, open the app on your phone (it will disable the idle timer and run behind the lock screen)
//phone_ip/IsolatedStorage
//phone_ip/Windows
IsolatedStorage is a special case (virtual directory that uses the SDK IsolatedStore APIs), the filesystem is mounted at the root of the webserver. Note that if you navigate to //phone_ip/, you will not see anything, as we are not able to list the contents of the root directory.
I am working to create a real socket library that mimics System.Net/.Sockets, and System.IO for file access. TcpClient and TcpListener are in a mostly functional state already.
I'll add in registry and other capabilities once those two components are stable.
Most of the code came from jmorrill.

I'm thinking we could do with somewhere to place an open-source collection of homebrew apps.
Also, with the Chevron WP7 unlocker, you might want to include the version with the sideload limit removed

- Registry Viewer: Visual studio 2010 Project containing the registry viewer app and also referencing Native project.
Everything works on my machine. You may need to fixe path to make it works on yours.

Updated the first post with a newer/better webserver
Hi hackers!
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
WP7 Root Tools will soon be available for Mango!
More info HERE
With this tool you get root-access to parts of your WP7 device. The first release only contains a registry-editor. The file-explorer and certificate stores will follow.
This tool is in alpha stage. That means that it is not feature complete and it is not yet properly tested. This tool also provides you with high privileges with which you can alter low level settings and data on this device. All this may result in unexpected and undesired behaviour, which may ultimately damage your device. Use this tool with care and use it at your own risk. The developer of this tool cannot be hold responsible for any kind of damages, caused directly or indirectly by using this tool.
The current version of this tool can only be used on Samsung devices. A small part of the code uses Samsung-specific functionality. The performance of the tool may sometimes be slow. This is the result of the way access to the system is elevated. The goal is to make this tool device-independent and to elevate access more directly in the future, but that requires more research.
To install this you need a developer-unlocked Windows Phone 7 device. For questions about unlocking your device, please refer to the appropriate threads.
If you have bug-reports or feature-requests, please give a full description.
If you like this, hit the "Thanks" and/or "Donate to me" button.
Ciao,
Heathcliff74
Update 2011/04/06:
1. Some people requested a possibility for donations. I opened a paypal-account and the "Donate to me" should work. Thanks!
2. I get an overwhelming amount of comments and pm's. I can't answer them all right now. I will try to answer them a bit later. Sorry.
Thanks for all the support guys!
Update 2011/04/13: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.2 alpha"
Consider this an "interim build". Most changes are under the hood. I did a lot of refactoring for performance improvements and paving the way for the file-explorer. This version does not include the file-explorer just yet. That will be the next release. Fixes in the new 0.2 alpha version:
- Compatible with light theme.
- Navigate out of the app with back-button.
- Due to refactoring and better use of the exploit I gained a lot of performance. It is very fast compared to the previous version. Should also reduce battery drain significantly.
Update 2011/04/14: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.3 alpha"
Mightyhog found a regression bug in the 0.2 version. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\ was not listed properly. It is fixed in the 0.3 alpha version.
Update 2011/04/18: Info about known limitations
Yesterday I added some info here which, after more research, did not seem to be entirely correct. I misinterpreted some of the file-flags I was seeing. So here's some more detailed info about the know limitations of the current Registry Editor and the File Explorer which is coming soon. It seems that having TCB privileges still has some limitations on accessing the filesystem and the registry.
Some registry values can be changed but they are reset back to their default value after the device is restarted. One example of such value is:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattUserIdle DWord 300
Possible explanations:
- The value is stored in a ROM registry hive. The change is made in RAM and after the device is restarted and RAM is cleared, the value is read from ROM.
- In the boot sequence of the device some xml-files which contain settings, are provisioned and overwrite changes made to the registry.
- A certain service or startup-program simply overwrites settings on system-startup.
I'm working on the File Explorer now. While testing I found out that eventhough I have TCB privileges some access is still restricted, because system-files are mapped directly in ROM. There are 2 file-flags that have impact on this:
- 0x0040 = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_INROM - This file is an OS file stored in ROM. Most files in the \Windows folder have this attribute. These files cannot be moved, modified, renamed or removed. Only a firmware update can change these files.
- 0x2000 = FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ROMMODULE - The exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder also have this flag set. These ROM files are mapped directly into executable read-only address-space, rather than being first copied to RAM. They cannot even be accessed as a file. They can only be executed. And therefore these files also can't be copied to another location, ie. we don't even have read-access on these files. However, I may have found a way to access these files anyway. This needs a bit more research, but I hope that I can at least copy the files to a location where they can be accessed.
Everything else seems to be possible. Creating files in the \Windows folder is no problem. I hope to be able to release a version with a File Explorer soon. I guess it will be in about two weeks or something. Bear with me.
Update 2011/04/19: No luck on reading the ROM modules
I did more testing. I wanted to have at least read-access to the exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder. As it is not possible to call CreateFile() on those files, I tried LoadLibrary(). That works. With CreateToolhelp32Snapshot(), Module32First() and Module32Next() I can enumerate the modules and find the one I loaded. I also get a baseaddress and size of the module. The problem is that I can't access that memory. I tried direct-access and I tried using ReadProcessMemory(). ReadProcessMemory() returns "Incorrect parameter" as soon as I try to access the ROM memory. Also using VirtualProctect() to unlock the memory gives me "Incorrect parameter" all the time. So it seems we won't have read-access to the exe- and dll-files in the \Windows folder for now. I will now concentrate on other functionality for the File Browser. I will try to get access to the ROM modules later on.
Update 2011/06/14: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.4 alpha"
It has taken me a long time, here's a new release, finally. Actually this release is not very useful yet, because the file-explorer is read-only so far. The "Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename" will follow soon. The browsing part has been extremely difficult. The main problem was the performance. Opening a folder could take up to 4 minutes. Ouch! Through a combination of multi-threading techniques, caching and combining multiple exploits I finally got this to a stable solution where browsing can be done in quite an acceptable way. The write actions don't have these performance issues, because it is not a real problem when copying a file will take a few seconds more or less. I already started on implementing this. This release also has a few minor fixes to the Registry editor, but no new functionality. I also did a lot of testing on the certificate stores. I got full read / write access to all the stores, but none of that is implemented in the WP7 Root Tools yet. That will be next.
Update 2011/06/24: RELEASE "WP Root Tools 0.5 alpha"
In this version I implemented the basic file-operations and a certificate installer.
You might wonder why I created a certificate installer, because it is already possible to add certificates. When you email a certificate to yourself and tap that attachment, WP7 will install it. But if you install like this, the certificate will always be installed in the "Root" certificate store. With my certificate installer you can also install in "CA", "My" and "Code Integrity" stores. This may be very useful for hacking attempts. You can install a certificate by browsing to the ".cer" file and tap it. The possibilities for getting a certificate file on your phone will follow below. If you start installing certificates on your phone you should consider making backups in advance. I once experienced Zune going totally bezerk after installing certs. Zune took 100% and lost connection with the phone all the time. Everything was back to normal when I deleted the certs. In this version there is no view on the certificate stores available yet. In a future version you will be able to view the contents of all the certificate store and also uninstall certificates from there.
I specifically mentioned that this version has basic file-operations, because not everything is implemented. This is what you can do:
- Cut / Copy / Paste / Delete / Rename single files
- Delete empty folders
- Create new folders
This is what you can't do (will be possible in later versions):
- Cut / Copy / Paste multiple files or entire folders
- Delete folders with content
- Rename folders
Last, but not least: I fixed some performance issues. Mainly memory-leaks in native code and in COM interop. I'm not sure if I got all leaks now, because it's not easy to do native C++ without debugger and profiler. But improvement is clearly noticeable.
This version does not have a connection with the PC. So it is not possible to use WP7 Root Tools to transfer files between the phone and the PC. You can however, use other tools to get files onto your phone and then use WP7 Root Tools to move the files to the desired location. WP7 Root Tools has write access on every folder of your phone.
How to transfer files to your phone:
Mail the file to yourself. Use your phone to go to your mailbox (not webmail). The attachment will be downloaded in the background. Then use WP7 Root Tools to navigate to \Application Data\Volatile\EmailAttachments\Attachments(number). You have to look which attachment is the one you want. The filename may be changed. The extension is the same.
Install Davux' webserver on your phone. Configure a password in that webserver. The IP of the phone is visible in the webserver app. Browse to the phone like this: http://192.168.1.2/IsolatedStorage using the IP of the phone. Upload a file to the phone. Open WP7 Root Tools 0.5 alpha. Navigate to this folder: \Applications\Data\9BFACECD-C655-4E5B-B024-1E6C2A7456AC\Data\IsolatedStore\. There's your file. You can copy it to another location if you want.
Use the Zune storage hack, described here and here. If you copied the files to your phone in this way, they will be located at \My Documents\Zune\Content in one of the subfolders. Again, the files here are renamed. You have to find the file you want and then rename it.
Have fun!

so what you are saying is you have been able to get read/write access to the file system on the focus? or is that something you just "hope" to add later?
EDIT: I'm sorry if that came off rude, I don't mean it to be I'm just excited about the idea of file system access!
very nice tool, needed a good registry editor for the samsung focus and this is perfect. thanks!
ur f-n awesome bro!
brilliant heathcliff
Very nice - works really well with the Focus.
Do you have any timeline for the file browser part? I'd love to see functionality that can copy files on and off the system folders.
Thanks for the tool!
EXCELLENT WORK Heathcliff, finally a way to write to the parts of the registry that we wasnt able to before. NOW we are getting somewhere with the Focus!!
Nice! Looks pretty neat!
Live tiles on Samsung Focus work now!
This is exactly what I was looking for to accomplish the live tile fix on my Samsung Focus detailed on wmpoweruser.

Yes I have 'full' access to the filesystem. The are 2 exceptions I found so far, using my hack:
1. I don't have access to files that are in use by the system. So, driver-files that are currently used cannot be accessed. Not even read-access. Possible work-around: I want to try to make a kind of copy-on-boot. I've already seen locations in the registry, where I can possibly add a startup-item that copies a file to a temporary location, when the file is not in use yet. But I have not tried that yet.
2. I can't overwrite or modify files that have the systemfile-flag. But I can copy the files, as long as they are not in use. Possible work-around: I have not tried all possibilities for changing file-flags. I might be able to do that.
I do have access through the entire file-system, including the \Windows folder and to the IsolatedStorage-folders of other apps. So that should give you a full file-explorer. Working on that now.

Well, there is not really a time-line yet. I wanted to finish the first release of this tool for a long time now. But I got some serious family issues. My grandpa died and my mother got a stroke and needed brain-surgery. Surgery went ok, but she needs rehabilitation right now. You can understand that I spent a lot of time with family over last weeks. I'm not sure how things will go. Situation with my mother looks promising. I visit her every other day now and it is a long ride. So that makes planning for this tool a bit difficult. But a lot of code that I made now is reusable for the other parts of WP7 Root Tools. So that should be a lot easier. I guess it won't take too long before I can add the file-explorer and certificate-stores. Just bear with me.
Hi Heathcliff74,
I hope everything goes well for your Family. The tool is one of kind, it's the first time that I see full Registry access on my Omnia 7. It looks very promising and I cannot wait for the File Explorer part. I hope you can add more features for both the registry and file explorer. Can you export the registry? Or that is not possible yet. Also, I would love to see a favorite’s option so we can add locations of the registry as favorites. We are very grateful to you for an excellent tool. Thanks.
Big thanks for the first alpha release ! Later this day I will do some tests and reply...

Thanks for the compliment. Importing and exporting registry keys is a feature that is not present yet, but it can be implemented for sure. Also a favorites option can be done. I'll put that on my ToDo-list.
Very good app. Hope to see quickly the file explorer feature !!!!
Take care of your family which is the most important .
Good luck!!!!
This is huge, I confirm it works on restricted Registry keys.
You are the best

FIRST THINGS FIRST
You need a developer unlocked Omnia 7 / Focus on Mango
WHAT YOU NEED
Isolated Storage Explorer
NOTE: unpack and install vm_web2.exe first (it will download a 500mb++ file during installation, so it's best to do this first). then unpack ISE_GUI_1.1.rar, inside is the isolated storage explorer)
needed xml's (hs.zip)
DiagProvXML v0.9
Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap
WP7 Root Tools
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove (uninstall) Network Profile application and remove any APN you set up in settings -> cellular
2. InterOP-unlock your device (Heathcliff)
3. Install DiagProvXML app on your phone
4. Using Isolated Storage Explorer deploy enclosed provxml files in hs.zip
4.a to do this: run Isolated storage explorer on your PC with your device plugged in and screen-unlocked. (DiagProvXML does not need to be running on your phone)
4.b paste this value on Product GUID text box: 566814df-f6b6-4154-8be5-9e65dce907c0
4.c click GET DATA button and save on your desktop.
4.d open the downloaded folder and paste there the 4 xml files from hs.zip
4.e click the Upload folder to Isolated Storage and select the same folder you just worked on, and upload!
5. Run DiagProvXML on your phone, swipe to ISO Store and you should see the xml files, hold and click execute on each one following this order: hotspot, hotspot1, mxip_hotspotconfig_01, EnableAutoDataConfig.
6. Check in settings that you can now see Internet Sharing between Bluetooth and accounts!
7. Reboot
8. Deploy WP7 Root Tools (Heathcliff)
9. Now launch WP7 Root Tools and go to Local Machine -> Comm -> InternetSharing -> Settings and manualy add new value (+val button):
Value Name: Name, Value Type: String, Value Data: Value ... hit save
Value Name: EntitlementURI, Value Type: String, Value Data: ./Vendor/MSFT/Registry/HKLM/Comm/InternetSharing/Settings/OpenMarketEnabled ... hit save
Value Name: OpenMarketEnabled, Value Type: dword, Value Data: 1 ... hit save
10. Clear "CellularConnectionName" (aka set Value Data to empty)
11. and you can go to settings -> Internet Sharing and start it up
--END--

What a great news! Finally it's here!
Yeah, but I need it even through cable - because when internet craps out at home, I want to be able to connect even my PC .
(at worst case scenario, I could change router to client mode and connect to phone from there )

Hello OndraSter, long time no see. Glad to see you are WP7 too.
Yeah, I agree about having wired tethering. Luckily my PC has a WiFi adapter, but a decent amount of Desktops don't. No need for WiFi on something that never moved especially when Gigibit LAN is way faster than the fastest WiFi.
If this will be blocked on unbranded/outside of US devices (like voicemail is), I will be really pissed off!

Visual Voicemail is dependent on your carrier, tethering isn't though they could very well hide the setting via registry. So, even if they do hide it, we'll be able to unhide it with a registry hack, same as how some devices have the "never" option for the lockscreen timeout & the accessibility options disabled.
Why are you so sure?

This quote has a registry directory that wasn't in the Beta 2 Emulator Dump. I have the full registry from a dumped emulator of 7692 compiled & this directory isn't in it. I'm trying to find a new 7720 dump to so I can compile it's registry.
EDIT: It appears this directory exists in NoDo 7392. I just opened my registry editor & manually added this key & it shows up as (unavailable info). I wonder if this means tethering was always there but hidden.

EDIT: From further examination of the RTM update packages. Internet Sharing seems to be in 7712 as well. The netcore.7.10.7712.60-7.10.7720.68.cab doesn't have an RGU & has a few updates to a couple DLL's (icscsp.dll/IcsService.dll/intshare.dll) & the netcore.7.10.7718.66-7.10.7720.68.cab has nothing new added to ICS aka Internet Connection Sharing.
Can someone running Mango RTM 7720 that has TouchXplorer Side Loaded & working as well as the PC USB Enable hack please copy out \Windows\E58CB45D-B3FE-405d-85CF-4D19C2AE80BE.rgu & upload it here? It should be around 15.5 KB in size as the NoDo RGU is 12.5 KB & the 7720 update RGU is 3 KB, which get's added to the existing RGU in \Windows\. You should be able to copy it out as I am running NoDo was able to pull it out with WPDM, but it doesn't work in Mango so you'll need to use TouchXplorer/USB Hack. I might be able to find the exact registry value with this file.
Well if thats true, then maybe we can get access to it via provxml... Just like chevron, dont we?
I posted this in a new thread at PPCG also. no longer is no tethering a deal breaker for those on the edge.

Can you please explain or post a link on how to do the PC USB Enable hack? I have TouchXplorer running but if I can do the PC USB Enabled hack then I get my \Windows\E58CB45D-B3FE-405d-85CF-4D19C2AE80BE.rgu and upload it here.

This tool allows you to access your WP7 in Windows Explorer as a USB Storage device as long as Zune is closed. You need to copy that file to \My Documents\Zune\Content\ with TouchXplorer & than on you PC access the "USB Mode WP7" to copy it to your PC.
When I do this the only thing I am able to see is just four sub folders. Albums, Artists, Music, and Pictures. Am I doing something wrong?

Nope, those are the folder that are on your device under \My Documents\Zune\Content\(# Value)\.
You use TouchXplorer to copy from \Windows\ to \My Documents\Zune\Content\(# Value)\ & than on your PC you'll see it in one of the folders you mentioned.
So would it show up it copy the file into one of folders with a # value?
