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.

Don't be stupid, make a backup!!
This tool is still in alpha stage. That means 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 behavior, 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.
You can find backup-programs here on XDA. For example WP7 Easy Backup Tool by MarcHoover or WP7 Backup App by hx4700 Killer.
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.

Really good work......like it .......

Did you missed all trusted ?

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

Ultrashot is working on that. It needs a little bit of tweaking to be compatible with Policy Unlock.

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.

Hi Heathcliff74 i´ve the same thing on my rom,i am using the mirolg tangoromhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751911 and !updated! my old roottools with sending the xap to my email account and downloading it on my device,after update (xap deployer by ultrashoot) i had to give roottools fullacces/trusted permissions for running,as the man obove said,there is nothing of the system marked as trusted(in roottools),but all is running correctly !

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

Hi again!
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

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
hi

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!
HI All
I'm upset. Reinstalled my back up of WM10 10586.164 on my Lumia 1520 and the above apps are not available anymore.
As I'm new to all this I could do with advice to try and install them somehow as they are the best apps on the market at the moment and the stock maps app suggested I walk home instead of a bus I know.
Please help I'm on windows 7
Thanks

Thank you so much for your app. It works beautifully. I've been searching for something similar for ages. It's incredible that the only way to reboot a phone must be turning it off and on again.
I have two questions though. Is the result of this reboot similar to a soft reset (rebooting with physical keys) or just a turning off + turning on?
And the second question, could you localize the name of the app to a few languages? I'm not sure if that's a lot of work, but it would sure fit better with my other apps in Spanish.
Just nitpicking anyway, thanks again!
@epraes, I'm happy to hear it's working for you and that you like it!

This app calls the Reboot() method of a library used by the Windows Insider app. If and how it differs from other ways to do it, I don't know.

Sure! What do you want to see in the app list in Spanish (and in any other languages you speak)?
Thanks! It's just having "Reiniciar" instead of "Reboot" for the Spanish locale.
In french "Redémarrer"
Thanks
@epraes @titi66200 Try new version!
BTW can anyone confirm it's working on a non-Lumia phone?
Thank you for the great app. Works without any problem on Nokia 820 with 10.586.218.
Thanks again! Now it's "Reiniciar" as it should be
I suppose it's not very useful to say this, but it's working on a 640XL DS. No idea about non-Lumia phones, though.
Work perfectly without the dependencies on Lumia 1520 RM-937. Thanks a lot for the great app, this is the good app that can prolong the wear and tear on the power switch...
I get an error when trying to deploy to build 14328 (redstone)
Error - There is an error in XML document (2, 2).
@qzem, it's a Windows 10 UWP app, so try installing it by tapping the appx in the File Explorer app on your phone.
(If you want to install from PC you can use the Device Portal in web browser or WinAppDeployCmd.exe from command line.)

Interop Tools is a brand new registry editor that works on Windows 10 Mobile, It allows you to View, Browse and Edit of registry entries. Great news is that this tool doesn’t need your device to be interop-unlocked for this. The tool has been developed by Gustave M, who is a well-known Windows enthusiast and developer.
How to Download & Install Interop Tools on Windows 10 Mobile:
1. Download the Interop tools Appx file from attachment, unzip
2. Now all you need to do is to turn on the developer option by going to Settings—>Update & Security–>For Developer–>Select Developer Mode and select “yes” when prompted. This enables side-loading of apps.
You should be now able to install “Interop Tools” by tapping on the Appx that you have downloaded in first step.
3. You should be ready to have some fun, though be careful before editing registry unless you know what you are doing.
4. Once installed, the app appears under installed apps
The tool is not Lumia-specific but seems access to restricted keys is only for Lumias.

http://www.windowscentral.com/interop-tools-windows-10-mobile
edit: if you have problem with newer version, simple uninstall app from storage, restart phone and install again.
Interop Tools Beta 1.7.157.0 (fbl_release(gustavem).160621-0900) changelog:
+ New helper runtime component, all core registry editing functionality have been migrated to registryhelper.winmd, as such, there might be new bugs, especially in the registry browser. Please report them if you find any.
+ WinPRTUtil is now also used in the browser and in registry value deleting operations.
~ Fixed an ux issue with light theme enabled.
~ Fixed an issue where HKD would be incorrectly named in certain areas.
~ Fixed an issue where the tool would incorrectly report the state of offline charging when loading the page.

you cant. this is only for WP8.1 devices with W10M... not for native W10M devices (550, 650, 950, 950XL)... you can install on Lumia 950/950XL and change some registry values but you cant access to MTP to use adblock (change hosts file)
Can this be uninstalled from the phone?
EDIT: nvm. I got it. Disable developer mode, try to open app, get error, uninstall
The file works perfectly in nokia lumia 520 windows 10 mobile build 10586.242
but I have a question

but still not unlocked for use XAP files and appx

I would like to know more about how to install files with this application appx

Yeah, I know, that's what I meant- This is great progress from the old way of getting access to these things, but what would really be nice is something similar that allowed adblock.

Hi
I tried changing the video resolution (VideoResolution) registry value from 3 to 4. This opens 4k recording resolutions in camera app on my LUMIA 730 dual sim and also the SLOW MOTION option in video recording. But when recording is pressed it shows the device can't save the video. Im new to this, so if anyone can help to find me any turnarounds or is this due to hardware limitations. Thanks
Looks like file explorer. A search button can.t be aded?

Interop Tools beta 1.2
Changelog:
+ The registry browser value editing dialog now displays the value type and name.
+ The registry browser now correctly handles write errors and will display them to you.
+ The registry editor now saves the history and has a new clear all button to clear all of them.
+ You can now tap a history item in the registry editor and it will fill all fields for you.
~ Improved the Registry browser ui again.
~ The app is now a regular app and not a settings app as there was many requests for this.
~ New icon for the app.
~ Small ui changes on the welcome page.
~ Bug fixes.
Known issues:
* It appears there is an editing issue for the pagingfiles on redstone, where the value is not set, this might be due to the key being reverted automatically. This is under inspection.
? It appears there is an editing issue for the pagingfiles on threshold, where some ";" appears instead of spaces, I can't reproduce it on my side, so if you could confirm or not confirm that to me on twitter that would be great.
Side notes:
* I know I need to add a way to alert from the app of new updates, this is under consideration.
* A small tweak page is in the works, if you have tweak ideas please tweet me them with the page where you found them or yourself if you found it, so I can properly credit peoples.
You may ad poweroff charging. Sure will be a huge succes.
