hi
good day
my new friend is a developer
he made an app and wants to publish a beta for tests
so is there any idea on how to make a small package for testing like darijoa from badanation.de did it??
http://www.badanation.de/topic.php?t=3966&page=1
P.S: i am not a developer so i'll just deliver data
Thanks in Advance
With bada SDK...
There is an option to make package... so only "Binary" is included instead Source Code.
If no one is faster, I will make an Screenshot... sooon.
Best Regards
What's the problem? You just need to replace the application in the "\App\" folder on his own and edit the "\App\App.cfg". Darijoa installer is just part of the Bada SDK with skillfully written bat-file.
hahahahahaha
Xenon do you expect from me to understand this??
my friend is just a new bada developer who needed some help
he knows C/C++ but didn't study the bada SDK
i didn't believe him when he told me that he wrote an app just 4 days after downloading SDK (thats too fast for me)
anyway i'll tell him what adfree said and what you said too
Thanks for helping guys
XDA rocks
Hi Guys
adfree/Xenon, is there any way to install any app [without having certificate to this application] by Darijoa bat file? If I'm installing original app with cert, for example Voluntas, installation goes well. But I was tryin' something different - I put MyExplorer app in "App" folder, changed strings in config file. When I tried to install this app using this method, my phone says "Error 0108" - no certificate to myExplorer. Is there any way to install ANY application using this method? Is there any option to create certificate to application what I didn't created?
If you don't know what, I wanted to, I thought to create new spoof method for people using JL2 firmware. After this f*****n' Samsung Apps update, only way to run "non-free" games is to reflash their phones [downgrade to JK1 for example]. Not everybody want to do this
Btw, Xenon, good work with sp.so protection
adfree, good job with all U R doing
Best regards,
wxtester
I am sure Adfree has absolutely no interest in supporting a new "****ing" method of spoofing.
Btw, with that **** you are not damaging Samsung, but small developer groups and freelancers like us.
@wxtester
This installation method is only available for applications signed by developers certificate. And so by this way is possible to install only one application. Create a certificate - a task nearly impossible. Possible way to solve - edit apps_сompressed.bin, so I'm hope for success in the holod's QMD packing, this will open a new stage in the creation of custom firmwares.
Hi Everyone,
For a long time we've been struggling with searching forums for new applications and deploying them using our PC.
Windows Phone OS is also missing a platform for publishing new applications that cannot be released using WP Marketplace – such as Homebrew apps or application that are not complaint with Microsoft Marketplace policies (very much like IPhone’s “Cydia”).
We are happy to introduce to you a new application that we have been implementing for the past couple of weeks.
Meet Bazaar – an alternative Windows phone Marketplace.
Bazaar is an application that allows you to browse applications by categories, share, download and install them directly within your device without the need to connect your device to your PC.
The installation capabilities of Bazaar are available to fully unlocked devices. This means, that if you have fully unlocked device, you can install homebrew application directly from your Windows Phone.
If your Windows Phone device is not fully unlocked, you can use Bazaar for PC to deploy applications to your phone with an easy and smooth user interface. It is still recommended to install Bazaar for Windows Phone even if you can't install applications to mark your favorite applications and deploy them altogether later when you get home.
In the near future we will add more functionalities as-
• Submit new applications via Bazaar web site
• Online search in Bazaar applications repository
• And many more…
You are all welcome to suggest features that you would like to see in our future releases.
Independent developers (and who ever knows such ), want to share your homebrew with the entire Windows Phone homebrew consumers community? send us information about YOUR apps – Icon, description, screenshots, categories, etc.. – so we can help getting your app to as many devices.
important note –
• Bazaar is NOT a place to distribute “cracked” games and apps. We’re not encouraging piracy.
Thanks to:
• DFT team for their wonderful work in making a FREE rom.
• “fiinix” (from XDA) for sharing his source code for a WP7 Web Server
• “ultrashot” (from XDA) for sharing his native installation code!

[UPDATED 18/1/2012] - 0.9.5 - We've now published our fully-functional release.
In this release you can create an account, mark favorite applications, search for applications online, download and install applications and more...
We are almost ready to publish our version of Bazaar for PC along with the Bazaar for Windows phone version that does not require interop-unlocked so you could automatically deploy all your favorite apps to your device. Stay tuned!
I'm attaching the new fully-functional release - version 0.9.5 and new screenshots for the upcoming release of Bazaar for PC.
[UPDATED 21/1/2012] - 0.9.6 - New installation method.
Bazaar 0.9.6 released! for all fully-unlocked devices
It including some minor bug fixes and a new installation method! many thanks to ultrashot from XDA!
1. Bazaar for PC is released! with Bazaar for PC you will be able to deploy applications to your phone even if it's only developer unlocked!
Bazaar for PC allows automatic sync, easy access and smooth user interface to use Bazaar's repository.
2. Bazaar for Windows Phone will run on any device (interop\fully unlock are not must-to-have). If your device is able to install XAP files (fully unlocked), you will be able to do that through Bazaar for Windows Phone. but if you are not able to deploy XAP files on your phone, you need to use Bazaar for PC.
[UPDATED 12/5/2012] - 1.5.0
• Toast & Tile notifications for homebrew applications updates. From 1.5 and on, you will be informed automatically when updates are available to any of your homebrew applications. With one single click, you will be able to update all of your outdated applications.
• Better favorites mechanism - Bazaar allows you to deploy all the favorites applications with one click (instead of one-by-one). Very useful after formatting your phone or installing new ROM.
• Rank & Reviews screens - Bazaar allows to rank & review applications, this way you can communicate with the developer and give let him know what you think of the application. Please remember to be fair, Constructive criticism is the name of the game.
• Self updater - Bazaar will be able to update itself from now and on. This means, that next time we release a new version, Bazaar will let know about it and will be able to update itself automatically. No need to connect your phone to your PC or updating from your phone's browser anymore.
• Better handling for communication issues.
• Lots of bugs fixed.
[UPDATED 07/07/2012] - 1.7.0
• Toast & Tiles notification will appear now for all users.
• Background image stretch was fixed.
• When disabling Bazaar's scheduled task it will not pop up an error any more.
• Performance improvements.
• General bugs fixes.
• Bazaar goes multilingual! Available for the following languages: French, Spanish, Finnish, Italian, Simplified Chinese, Dutch, Norwegian.
Bazaar for PC and Bazaar for Windows Phone are available for download through our website: http://www.WP-Bazaar.com .
Bazaar for Windows phone (XAP files) is attached to this thread as well.
We'd love to get feedback and ideas for improvment.
Until next time...

Awesome... Voted 5 stars.
Edit: wait ... Only work with dft ROM, means will work with the ROM included iexapinstaller+full unlocked drivers from dft ROM? So sad if I use my own custom ROM.
Make sure that you´ll introduce some kind of webmarketplace, or PC app, not all phones have DFT ROM option

Of course, and we will.
Currently the only ROM that we know that can install XAP files using the devices IE is DFT ROM's, but we will add support for more ROMS as soon as they will become available.
A PC and Web Version's are in work! stay tuned!
This sounds really promising then keep up the good work!
There'll be more rom's which support XAP install via IE when the DFT release their tool. Just wait a little bit They're working hard on getting it released.
About the Bazaar thing: A really great idea! If there are some devs who want to release their apps in the Bazaar it could get quite a big thing
Nice idea But what about that Microsoft
It works on my Samsung Focus (1st Gen) Mango , it give this message when opening
"incompatible ROM'
You must have DFT's custom ROM installed in order to run Bazaar on your Windows Phone.
"Sorry..
Ooops....Something is wrong.
Please send us the logs so we can look in to it.
Send logs?
Hit cancel
App shows up fine :
This is a BETA-Applications for testing only
If you click on an app it shows details ,reviews ,screens , you can click install and it will and it will simulate an install and say in red BETA - Installing Apps is disabled!
Pretty nice looking app I must say , I agree an app like this would be very usefull for "homebrew" not sure if I would categorize "cydia" as a homebrew , Im sure Apple doesnt think that way and I really dont know how Microsoft would feel about this , but I see it as a really useful tool , I agree also with cydia , my wifes phone has it and theres alot better and more effient apps coming from cydia than itunes thats for damn sure , maybe you can make this happen on WP7 ,I hope so! Keep up the good work!!

Thank you.
By the way, The problem you've reported was fixed uninstalling the application and redownloading it will fix the problem.
For now, we've removed the warning about "ROM is not supported" so everyone can see the application and test it.
By the way, it's not only simulate a download - it really download the XAP file, but we intentionally disabled the installation feature as we did not yet got publishers approval.
Thanks again for the feedback!

GREAAAAAT, work on hd7 with nextgen + rom
Other Roms
The nextgen rom supports IE xap install!
Is there a compatible rom for the LG E900H?
Working fine in HD7 DeepShinning V.5 since it does have the DFT Toolkit. But V.5 was deleted and after this version, is not going to support DFT toolkit untill the DFT officially released.

Didn't work for me. I'm using the Nextgen+ with IE XAP installation with an HD7.
Nevermind. It works anyways!
No, wait. It downloaded, but installation is disabled.
Yeap, it works with deepshining v5. Sadly v5.1 coming up today will not have DFT support tools. I guess this app is useless to me after today.
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Useless for me since today. DFT rom are too buggy. They have to release their tool asap, to make our life easier and to help developers get their apps to people for beta. WP7 is growing, and lets keep it like that.

Hi,
As we mentioned before, in the next release, Bazaar will be available to all ROM's that has the option of installing apps XAP files. (not only DFT)
Lidan.
The result of probably more than 100 hours of solo hackery: a working COM DLL for allowing any application to elevate itself to SYSTEM (root) permissions.
What you need:
An interop-unlocked HTC phone. Sorry second-gen and Arrive users.
A working HtcUtility driver. It's possible some HTC update at some point crippled this. It works for me; if it doesn't work for you let me know what updates you have.
What it does:
Allows changing the security token of any application to give that app unrestricted permissions. At this point, you can call any user-mode API, perform any operation, with full access.
It also allows you to read or write any value from memory, even kernel memory (this is how it modifes the security token).
What it can be used for:
Darn near anything. If it can be done while the phone is booted, you can do it.
What it can't be used for:
Modifying the ROM - the R and O stand for "read only" and they mean it.
Interop-unlocking a phone - it requires interop-unlock to get root in the first place.
How to use it:
In your app, include the HtcRoot.dll library.
Include the code from DriverAccessTest.cs in the test app (defines the COM API and enables using it).
Call the OpenHtcUtility function (will throw an exception if your device is incompatible).
Call the MakeMeRoot function (can also throw exceptions).
(OPTIONAL) Call the ReturnZeroIfRoot function to make sure your app is elevated (does not throw exceptions, will return an error code if you get one).
Do stuff with SYSTEM permissions (probably using another COM DLL, such as for registry or filesystem access).
Call the RestoreToken function (failure to do this *might* cause a kernel memory leak).
Call the CloseHtcUtility function (OS will probably handle this if program just exits).
What you can do right now:
Try the test app. It should pop up a series of messge boxes. Hopefully none of them say anything like "FAILURE".
Report any bugs or failures you discover.
Build things with this library, and publish them!
Breakdown of the download:
There are two folders in the ZIP, one for the Visual Studio 2010 C#/Silverlight XAP project, and one for the Visual Studio 2008 C++/COM DLL project.
The test XAP is in the HtcUtilityTest\bin\Debug folder.
The native (COM) DLL is also available in that folder, or under its own project.
If you want to mess with this, I'm going to assume you are already familiar with hybrid native/managed development for WP7. If not, Heathcliff74 has posted an excellent tutorial on this forum.
Special thanks to:
Heathcliff74 for the hybrid app tutorial and interop unlock info.
Paul_Hammons for the links and info about HtcUtility, the driver that makes this possible. Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434793
Supported devices / firmware versions / ROMs
All HTC devices (if interop-unlocked and with the right firmware numbers) should be compatible.
Some custom ROMs work, some do not. This will depend on the version of the firmware that the ROM's HtcUtility driver is taken from.
I believe I compiled the test app as Mango-only, but the native library doesn't care at all.
Compatible:
Stock ROMs with compatible firmware for HD7, Trophy, Mozart
HD2 (BttF [XBmod-Yuki] v2 SP1)
Not compatible:
Firmware version 2250.21.51004.401 or newer
Verizon Trophy firmware version 2305.13.20104.605 or newer
DFT ROM with build 8107, Firmware 5.10.401
Arrive (except on pre-Mango), Titan, Radar, Titan 2 (no interop-unlock)
Others are untested or results are incomplete.
Goals and future work:
Support more devices:
* Try and add support for newer firmware.
* Help ROM cookers ensure the library is supported.
* Look for similar openings in other OEM libraries.
Future-proofing:
* Allow installation of a mod to support this capability after known updates.
* Resilience against possible future updates.
* Allow users with incompatible devices to downgrade (possibly to NoDo), install the mod, and be able to use the phone after upgrading.
Improve the library:
* Fix some memory leaks.
* Clean up the code - remove dead code and improve comments.
* Allow reading/writing more than 4 bytes at a time from managed code.
* Add APIs to elevate other processes (by name or ID) to SYSTEM.
Develop homebrew around the library:
* Support accessing common APIs (filesystem, etc.).
* Resurrect the Advanced Explorer app, perhaps (registry and filesystem).
* Support native app launching on stock ROMs.

It does not work on HTC 7 Mozart (HTC Europe):
Error to Write the value 1337 to test address - System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007001F): A device attached to the system is not functioning

OS: 7.10.7740.16

Boot: 5.11.2250.1(133487)
Please include the full error message or a description of what went wrong.
Failure on fully updated devices is unfortunately possible - my phone is (intentionally) a few updates behind. I'm looking into ways to make it work anyhow (either sending an older CAB update to roll back, or using the root acess to create an unlocker/root-enabler that survives subsequent updates). I'm going to look into how the full-unlock ROMs differ from standard ROMs, and see if I can do the same thing in running software.
Does it works with custom roms?
If the custom ROM has a working HtcUtility driver, then yes. My goal is to unlock the kind of capabilities normally restricted to custom ROMs on stock firmware, though.
@bleh815: Thanks for the report. That's frustrating; it looks like it is capable of doing read but not write. Write might just be restricted in what addresses is allowed, or it might be disabled entirely (the driver gives the same error code for every problem that I've encountered so far). Time to figure out
A) what update causes the problem (I'm on 2250.21.30102.531, HD7, stock ROM)
B) what restrictions that update introduces
C) how to work around those resrtictions (possibly by downgrading and then using root access to add something that will still work after upgrade).

I've just downgraded a mozart of mine back to stock NoDo (TMOB-DE) to find out which OEM update breaks (actually fixes) it.
Cool, thanks! It's one of the post-Mango HTC updates; a Microsoft update wouldn't have modified an HTC driver, and my phone has all the pre-Mango HTC updates but it still works.

Hi, at first it says "SUCCESS!", then it says "Trying to open a file gives error 1260" and then it says "Now opening a file gives error 0" and finally "Finally, opening a file gives error 1260".
System informations:
OS=7.10.7720.68
Firmwareversion=2250.21.12200.162
Radio=5.68.09.05a_22.50.50.21U
Bootloader=4.6.2250.0(129185)
HTC 7 Trophy.
That is *exactly* the sequence of messages it is supposed to give!!
In particular, the messages I need to see are the "SUCCESS" (the rest is potentially interesting info, but not very important) and then the "Now opening a file gives error 0".
The "SUCCESS" means that a sequence of read/write tests succeeded.
The "Now... error 0" means that the process has been elevated to full permissions.
The "Finally... error 1260" means that the security token was successfully restored at the end, so it was unable to open the file again. This is the expected and correct behavior.
I don't recognize your Firmware Version number; I'm guessing it's specific to your phone. What method did you use to upgrade to Mango?
how do i install it?
Tried on interop-unlocked HTC Surround, not working Tested any call in VS debug mode - no luck at all.
I can confirm that it works with any OS version, from 7004 to 8107.79
On a HTC 7 Mozart (TMOB-DE) it works with firmware 2250.21.13201.111 (Stock NoDo ROM) but the hole gets fixed with 2250.21.51101.111 (1st Post-Mango HTC Update).
You guys are gods taking programming to a hole new level!
I wish to see ms take you all more serious and not let wp7 fail like minmo6.5 did!
I wish I could get on your level!
I realy need some help lerning basic silverlight my self!
But I have read how hybrid working ant this is just fantastic!
conradulations on all your developments so far you guys are truly amazing!
Oh, that code, beautiful reading that!
Thanks for sharing this learnfull code!
I'd like to try it on my Verizon HTC Trophy, I would love to get file access back....
I downloaded the package and I even have VS 2010 installed but beyond that I have no idea as I am not a programmer.
Can someone post a compiled XAP for us to try to see if our phone works with it or not ?
Or some step by step VS 201 directions to try would also be helpful.
@Ttblondey: *FACEPALM* The path to the test XAP is given in the opening post. You install the XAP on your phone using any XAP deployment tool. It requires that your phone be interop-unlocked; Heathcliff74 has a nice long thread about that. The app is called called HtcUtilityTest. Run it, and report the results. If you want to actually *use* the DLL, the instructions for doing that are given too but you need to write some code.
@sensboston: PLEASE give a more complete report! Success and error messages, at the least. Also, your phone version info. Thanks!
@bleh815: THANK YOU! I mean, it's a little annoying to know how far back this was fixed ("First post-Mango HTC update" means the one that was included *with* Mango for most people, or the one after that?) but good to know. Now, to look at exactly what they changed...
@jackrabbit72380: Thanks man! As for working with it yourself, like I mention below, I'm planning to provide a universal homebrew library that people can easily use to do whatever they want.
@fiinix: You're welcome! Honestly, I didn't expect anybody to call my mess of debug-commented and mildly hacky C++ "beautiful" but that hack itself *is* pretty awesome. My only concern with using it is the risk of a context switch causing the wrong app's token to get overwritten, and I should probably look into that, but I think it's OK for the moment. There are bigger fish to fry.
In the meantime, it should open up a huge list of capabilities for tools like your DllImport project. I'm currently considering reviving Advanced Explorer (like TouchXplorer + Registry Editor, but open source; was never ported to Mango though) using the root access instead of using ComFileRW and the provxml driver. Let me know what you want to do with it!
One other thing I'd like to add is the ability to easily elevate *another* process; it's not hard to do but I haven't written it yet. This could be handy for apps where we don't have the source code (for example, elevate Schaps registry editor, which uses low-privilege native code for browsing, so it can read *all* registry locations instead of just some of them).
@DavidinCT: Well, running the test app is easy, just install the XAP. It just runs a battery of tests though, it doesn't actually *do* anything useful. To get filesystem access, you'll need to write some native code (which means using Visual Studio 2008 and the CE/Smart Device plug-in, see Heathcliff74's toturial on the subject). Basically, you would first use this DLL (accessed via COM, you can look at my own C# code for how to do that) to opent he driver handle and elevate the process to root. You could then write your own COM DLL that uses the standard Win32 filesystem APIs (CreateFile, etc. - all are documented on MSDN) and exposes those APIs, or the results of them, to managed code via COM. Then, back in your phone app (the one that called into my HtcRoot DLL) you can call into your own DLL to access the file system.
If that's too big a leap, don't worry. I plan to release a general-purpose high-privilege homebrew DLL that exposes some of the most-used functionality (filesystem, registry, provxml, and other things by request), is easily extensible (possibly using something like the DllImport project, where you just specify the function you want to call and the DLL it's located in right from C#), and that will be a lot easier to hack with. You'll still need to know C# and basic Silverlight, but it'll be a lot easier (and hopefully useful without knowing any C++ or COM).
GoodDayToDie, you are amazing, always keeping me interested!
When starting the test xap, I get the below, it then goes into the "Page Name" and that's it.

NEW: WP7 Root Tools 1.2 is released! It includes an Accent Color editor and Internet Sharing unlock now.
WP7 Root Tools
With this tool you get root-access to your WP7 device. The current version contains the Policy Unlock Installer, a registry-editor, a file-explorer with many file-operations, certificate-stores, a policy-editor, a tweaks-section and an Accent color editor. This is your all-in-one system-tool for Windows Phone 7.
If you like this app, you can donate to buy me a beer (or two).
With WP7 Root Tools I attempt to open up the system in a gentle way, so that users stay in control of their device, while homebrew apps can get more control to get the maximum power out of your Windows Phone device!
Supported Devices
Samsung first and second generation devices with Interop Unlock
LG devices
HTC first generation devices with Mango v1 drivers (SPL 4.x or lower)
Samsung first generation devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock
HTC first and second generation devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock
NOKIA devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock
Your phone needs to have at least INTEROP-UNLOCK. If you get error 0x81030120 when you deploy WP7 Root Tools to your device, then please read this guide! WP7 Root Tools will also work on devices with Full Unlock. If you want to know more about the different types of unlocks or if you want to know why WP7 Root Tools may or may not run on your WP7 device, you should read this guide.

Installation
On devices with custom ROM and Full Unlock, the installation of WP7 Root Tools will be pretty straight-forward. You install the XAP and it works. On devices with stock ROM's WP7 Root Tools need to install Root Access. The first time it runs, a 2-phase-installation will start. The app will inform you to start the first install-phase. Then the device will reboot after a few seconds. After the reboot you need to start WP7 Root Tools again immediately! Then the second phase of the installation will start and your device will be rebooted again. After the second reboot you are ready to use WP7 Root Tools.
Update to a new version
If you have an earlier version of WP7 Root Tools installed and you have WP7 Root Tools Policy Unlock, I strongly advise to UPDATE the app, instead of doing a full install-cycle. Many XAP installers will do a full install-cycle. That can lead to problems, because during the installation WP7 Root Tools will temporary loose its Root Access. In that case WP7 Root Tools needs to do the 2-phase-installation again. This is usually not a problem, but future OEM- or OS-updates could make it possible that the reinstall will not be possible. So, to be on the safe side, first make a backup of the device (use a backup tool from the XDA forums) and then use a XAP installer that has the possibility to update an app. One such utility is XAPDeployX 0.9.
Registry Editor
The registry editor in WP7 Root Tools allows full Root Access to the registry. Be very careful with your tweaks, because this may profoundly influence the behavior of your device.
To delete a registrykey or -value you can tap-and-hold the item and choose delete in the context-menu.
The new version also has Advanced Search functionality.
File Explorer
The file-explorer supports all file- and folder-operations, like copying, moving, renaming and deleting files and folders. To select multiple files at once, you can tap an item on the left, which will pop up selection-boxes.
When you select files and folders with the selection-boxes, the file-operations can be chosen from the Applicationbar. It is also possible to tap-and-hold an item and choose the file-operation from the context-menu.
You can tap on an item to launch or open it. It might be necessary to give the app that needs to open the file root-privileges first. The new version of WP7 Root Tools allows you to give Root Access to System Apps like Office Mobile. So if you've given Root Access to Word, you can tap txt-files in any location to open them with Word. The new version will also allow you to give Root Access to Homebrew Native executables. The file-explorer shows whether an executable is "Installed" or "Not installed". If you tap (or tap-and-hold) on an executable that is not yet installed, you can choose to unlock the executable, give Root Access and launch it.
The new version also has Advanced Search functionality.
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.
Certificate Store
You can browse the 4 certificate stores. Tap-and-hold will show a context-menu. You can delete certificates or save them as a .cer file. Be aware that if you delete a certificate you can do severe damage to the system. So, be careful with that!
Policy Editor
The Policy Editor will show a list of all the installed apps. You can use the Policy Editor to give other homebrew app a "trusted" status. With this you will give the app Root Access privileges. So be very careful to which app you give Root Access!! You are responsible for giving access to an app! If you are not sure, read the forums to decide if an app is trust-worthy. The new version will also show System Apps. This is done because for devices that make use of Policy Unlock, it is useful to give Root Access to System apps sometimes. For example to open txt-files outside the My Documents folder.
It is also possible to launch apps from this list, by tapping on the app. But some apps will fail to start from here, because their default task is not configured correctly. This is not an issue in WP7 Root Tools, but those apps were simply not designed to be launched like this. They are listed anyway, because it could be useful to give Root Access to these apps.
Policy Unlock v2 also allows xap-packages with special configs to automatically give unlock Native Homebrew executables when the app is given Root Access. Read more in the "For developers" and "Desktop Sync" sections.
I've been working on unlocking Native Executables for a really long time now. Ever since I started this thread on XDA. I know it has been possible to run native executable using Full Unlock. But Full Unlock is only possible on WP7 devices with unlocked bootloaders. With the introduction of WP7 Root Tools Policy Unlock v2 also devices which have only Interop Unlock can now run these programs! But that was not the only goal. This unlock has become a prestige-project for me. Because I wanted to fully understand and control the WP7 Policy Engine. I now finally succeeded in doing this
So, is Policy Unlock v2 the same as Full Unlock?? No. But almost! Unfortunately, Policy Unlock still doesn't allow you to run Homebrew drivers, like the DFT Bluetooth stack. Later on I will try to apply the Policy Unlock hacks on the drivers too.
Tweaks
WP7 Root Tools adds a few Search-providers for Internet Explorer. You can choose it here. There are some more tweaks to customize your devices. From WP7 Root Tools 1.2 on, there are tweaks for unlocking Internet Sharing and for running Automatic Data Configuration. If your operator has blocked Internet Sharing, WP7 Root Tools can attempt to configure Internet Sharing and bypass the barrier that is installed on the phone. This probably won't work on LG devices, because their drivers don't support Internet Sharing. This unlock is only meant to unlock the operator barrier. Running Automatic Data Configuration can be useful when you switched 3G network and your phone has wrong settings for the data connection or the settings have become otherwise defective. If you have more ideas to add to this page, leave me a note.
Accent Color Editor
Add your own accent colors and select colors in real-time. Fully compatible with WP7.8.
Multi-language
The current version supports 18 languages: English, Dutch, Russian, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Hungarian, Czech, Spanish, Slovak, Polish, Italian, Greek, French. And these languages are available in separate downloads: Turkish, Arabic, Albanian and Serbian. The translations are done by volunteers and some elements by translation-engines. So the translations may not be perfect. Following versions will improve and add more translations.
For developers
I also created an SDK for developers, who can use to profit from Root Access. It provides a way to gain access to the filesystem and the registry (and more) from their managed Silverlight application. No need to worry about COM interop and C++ anymore! The package contains a read-me with short instructions. More details and examples will follow soon here on this site!
The new WP7 Root Tools has Policy Unlock v2 to unlock Homebrew Native Executables. You can do that using the WP7 Root Tools Explorer. But if a developers want to use such binaries in an app, it would be very user-unfriendly if the user needed to unlock these binaries manually. For this purpose I added functionality in the WP7 Root Tools Policy Editor. When an app is give Root Access, it will scan the app for a file called RootAccess.xml. If present, the xml is parsed and the binaries that are listed will automatically be given Root Access too. This is the format for RootAccess.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RootAccess>
<Executable File="Native\NativeApp.exe" />
<Executable File="Native\NativeWinApp.exe" >
<Destination Path="\Windows\NativeWinApp.exe" />
</Executable>
<Library File="Native\NativeLib.dll" />
<Library File="Native\NativeWinLib.dll" >
<Destination Path="\Windows\NativeWinLib.dll" />
</Library>
</RootAccesss>
Take these notes into account:
The Destination paths are optional
Libraries are signed in Source and Destination
Executables are signed in Source and Destination
Executable gets policies in Source and Destination
File-path-attribute-value is relative to app path
Destination path is absolute
The first app that makes use of this feature is Ultrashot's WMDC Launcher, which can be used for Desktop Sync, as described in the next section. Ultrashot will soon make Opera Mini compatible with Policy Unlock too.
Desktop Sync
Ultrashot has released WMDC Launcher some time ago. Back then it was only possible to use that on devices with Full Unlock. With the introduction of Policy Unlock v2, it is also possible to run the app on devices that are compatible with WP7 Root Tools. Ultrashot has added RootAccess.xml to the xap-package, so the app will automatically be configured when it is given Root Access. Warning: it may take a while to apply on all unlocks, so be patient and let WP7 Root Tools do its job.
After WMDC Launcher is installed, given Root Access and lauched, you can use it to sync file-system and registry with your PC. On the PC you need to have Zune installed and running, and you need to have Windows Mobile Device Center installed and running. After that you Windows Phone will show up as Mobile Device in Windows Explorer.
For unrestricted remote Registry editing you can use Registry Workshop, or similar. In the registry editor you have to connect to the Mobile Device.
Thanks!

I have a question - can I add my cert to store (authority store, though I don't know which) in order to acquire ability to install self-signed cabs? My LG Panther has locked bootloader, so it looks like the only way to update at least to 7004.

Nope, not quite, I am not best to describe the full problem but essentially there's another certstore stored on the device, when phone boots in to update mode it uses that cert store located in the ROM
Sent from my Samsung Focus S using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
These are great things
Thank you my friend

The answer is: I'm not sure. It is not possible to add certs to a store for updating. But it might be possible to change the file which keeps the certs for cab updating. It needs more research. Some of this has already been discussed here.

I considered implementing that. But I think it is dangerous. If there will ever become some type of malware on WP7, you would be very vulnerable. So I decided not to implement such option.

Does registry expolorer keeps last opened location after restart or reopen cos only File explorer can do this so far?
How to unlock the native code?
I have installed opera mobile but don't work...

A bug or a normal behavior?
First of all, i would like to really thanks you for this great tool. I would like to just ask some questions:-
I updated my wp7root tool 0.11 using XapHandler, and Everything went ok. After that i needed to open the Office hub but to my surprise it didn't work. I did a soft-reset just to find out that my start screen is Black . To be honest i got panicked though i have an update that i can reinstall. After few mins digging i found out that certain feature in the phone a still working (like search, voice commands etc.) I used the voice command and opened Wp7root Tools 0.12 and went through Policies just to find out that almost every System Apps were untrusted including Start App. When i trusted Start App i got my Start Screen back .
My questions are:-
1. is this (the untrusted start app) a bug?
2. Is it intentional that all the System App to be untrusted? if not
3. Do you have a list of System Apps that were trusted Originally?
Hope you have answers to those q.
Thanks

Ok. That's remarkable. I have no clear answer. Can you tell me which device and which ROM (stock, custom, ..) you use and which OS version and which OEM firmware?
It sounds to me that this is some form of Inception between Full Unlock and Policy Unlock (that should normally work, but I can't possibly test all different devices and unlock at forehand).
Normally only very few system apps are defined to have Root Access. And "Start" is NOT one of them. I don't have a cleanly installed device to check which apps should have Root Access, but there are really only a few. I don't understand why the Startmenu would need Root Access in your case. And it is not a bug that "Startmenu" is not having Root Access. It actually surprises me that you could fix it this way.

Just to be clear: You do NOT have a problem with missing Startmenu, right?
Because most system apps should NOT have Root Access. If your system apps do NOT have Root Access, but everything works fine, then there is NO problem!

Hm. The fact that you have a stock ROM makes this only more weird. I still can't think of a possible explanation.
Did you toggle Root Access for system apps before the problem occurred? Any other remarkable things you've done with your phone that may explain this?
Did you use earlier versions of WP7 Root Tools without problems?
Sry,yes i ahve absolutely no problems,everything works fine,i was only not sure if the systemapps must have no permissions

No i didn't toggle it Before the problem. I just installed it then when i tried office, it didn't work and then i found out about the problem. And to be honest i really didn't do anythink remarkable either. My privous experiance with WP7Root Tools and really good, didn't have any problem Before.
Please check your PM i sent you a link to the video clip i did about the problem. OBS!!! No sound

are you crazy,what the need of copy, its not one thought /innovation to get this hack ,while 950 xl got .29 update (dec 2015),MICROSOFTMDG updates on discussions,when this build released for only 950/xl,
is it a big thing to change registry values to get update,its just a commonsense ,not one copy other

hi newbie in here...
i've just updated my old lumia1020 to the latest w10m version 10.0.15254.369
i was hoping that in this version that the static ip option was enabled by default...
i was wrong...
need static ip option badly since my home and office wifi need to manually configure the ip/dns setting before i can use the network...
is there any way to configure static ip without interop unlock
or is it safe to use wp internal to unlock root with my current w10m build on nokia lumia 1020?? i update them using iutool method

Do you have a simple tutorial with deleting and replacing tones in alarms? because I am just only using two different alarms.
I know this is really too late to ask nowadays... Thank you!
