Excalibur Sim Unlock

In most cased I can find the unique 8-digits SIM unlockcode with the help of two files you must dump from your phone and email to me. Contact me by PM and I will make you a reasonable offer and send you my email address.
To produce the required files run "simlock.bat" from the attached zip file on your PC. There will be two files called docid.bin and simlock.bin in the subdirectory "1" on your PC.
If you have trouble running simlock.bat it is usually because the phone is not properly unlocked. In that case run the attached unlocker "SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe" on your PC. After running it you will be prompted to restart your phone.
MOD BREAK:
Do Not post your IMEI on the board.
Do Not post your EMAIL on the board.
READ the post above BEFORE acting.

Ive sent you a PM about this offer.

Yes, you are right, The application unlocker in "simlock.bat" does not work on all models.
Will update it soon.
EDIT: Done, I've added SDA_ApplicationUnlocker in top post

yeah it really would. well thankz alot!! for your help in time if you find something out jz let me know

Just so you all know programs like these use your computer to install the program.
Make sure your phone is connected using a usb cord and it'll install it.

you might need to App Unlocl your phone. goto: mobile.surrealnetworks.com and click on applications for Dash. there is one or two programs that will unlock your phone to allow various programs to be installed. that might do the trick. someone correct me if im wrong.
...just my $.02

Newbie: Photo Contacts Pro 5 info
Hi All,
I am a newcomer to this forum and let me tell you that you guys do a great job with coming up with information and guidelines on Excalibur software so I have to give you applause for that. Does anybody have any info on this? I have the demo and it seems like it is a good application.
Thanks

I loathe photo contacts pro 5..... version 4.03 was and is the best one for the excalibur. my reasoning? after 4.03 the program doesn't run in the background. It shows up in task managers and is easly closed which defeats the purpose of having the program. It also takes up more memory and is even more laggy then version 5. if you can find a version 4.03 i highly recommend you try it.

o2 zest downgrade from wm6.5

I have ran the original o2 formware program and it will not program the zest. The zest firmware update utility keeps telling me "check the language is the same as ..."
So how do you downgrade the o2 zest to original firmware after running wm6.5 ...?
Help needed please.

Hi,
When you get this message, you should find a file called "tmp_rom.abi" in the same directory as the firmware update utility (you need to Show Hidden Files first - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/hiddenfiles.mspx).
Before clicking "OK" on that message, copy tmp_rom.abi to another folder. When finished, close the update utility. Rename "tmp_rom.abi" to "GM5_WWE_Zest.abi" and copy to your SD Card. Then flash as you did the WM6.5 one (Navpad Down + Reset).

Just to say thankyou for your response , my zest is back to original op sys.
Regards
Bob

Make sure on the SD Card the file is called GM5_WM61Downgrade.abi or something like that. It has to start with GM5_ and end with .abi

done a few before, but for some reason, just never works with the file i've ripped/extracted from the update program. it's there, named correctly. I'm absolutely puzzled

make sure the abi file is not hidden. Sometimes the bootloader doesn't see hidden files.

i followed the instructions not to hide the files on my pc. that wht you mean? (your being really helpfull by the way thankyou)

no problems do you have more than one abi file on your storage card? If so ensure there is only the 6.1 one on there.

nope, just the one .abi file. i've renamed it a couple of times too (but still following the GM5_xyz.abi nomenclature). its insane in the membrane lol, i see a few other users here have done it....why not me? i feel like a leper lol

Lol. Keep trying, if you upgraded to WM6.5 this way, you will be able to downgrade wo WM6.1
Right-click on the ABI file, go to "Properties" and ensure "Hidden" is unticked.

well god damn!! you have the patience of a saint for dealing with stupid people....sir i salute you lol.... it was hidden in the file properties....i feel......like a retard lol. Thanks very much man, i just wasn't having any luck with custom roms, tried a few of yours but all intermittently froze. I'll try this today, and if still no joy, gonna get a tg01 tomorrow and sell this to CEX just to get rid of it. Thanks once again!!!

Install Homebrew Apps in Mango Beta & Resumible Apps

INSTALLING HOMEBREW APPS​
Ok, so I figured out how to get a homebrew app installed that has "INTEROPSERVICES".
NOTE: Most apps still don't load/work, but at least they can be installed. So, maybe someone can figure out what to do from here. In fact, the only app that works properly that I've tested is Navigator Select. Granted this app is probably signed with a cert or what ever because it's from an OEM.
Instructions;
1) Extract the XAP using 7Zip/WinRAR/etc.
2) Find WMAppManifest.xml & open it in an editor (Wordpad/Notepad/VS/Word/etc.).
3) Delete the line "<Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/>"
4) Save the file.
5) Compress all files from XAP into a ZIP
6) Rename ZIP to XAP
7) Install
RESUMIBLE APPS​
Also, I found this article.
In order to make an app resumible, we'll edit the same file as above, but this tome we're going to add "ActivationPolicy="Resume"" to the "<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="PivotPage.xaml" />" line so it looks like "<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="PivotPage.xaml" ActivationPolicy="Resume"/>". Save file compress everything to ZIP & rename to XAP same as above. Now install apps using what ever side loader you like. I used "Tom XAP Installer".
NOTE: DON'T use the resumible hack on Navigator Select, at least on Mango. Otherwise it'll just show a black screen if you open it from the start menu/app list when you have a map open. You can still use task switcher to open it, but just not worth it. Than again this could be a Mango problem with the resume hack.

Anyone out there with a T-Mobile USA HD7 happen to have WPDM from Schaps installed & no Mango Beta? If so, can you see if you can copy out the TMOUS Cert that should be on your device. I'm on Mango, so cant. I want to try to sign a homebrew app with that cert & see if it'll work on Mango Beta.

I rolled back but have the HTC 7 Pro, so I can send you that cert, maybe you can edit it so it works with the HD7?
Glad to see you working on this btw .

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

I'm on an unbranded HTC 7 Pro. If you walk me through extracting whatever certs you can use I'm more than happy to do it.

Okay, you'll need WPDM. Install that to your pc/laptop. Once you run it the first time, it'll prompt to install TouchXperience. Open TouchXperience on your 7 Pro. Now WPDM will sync with it. Now open the file manager in WPDM on your PC. The certs should be in \windows or one of it's sub directories. I don't remember exactly where I saw them. Try to find one with HTC or Test in the file name. You can than copy if & paste it into windows explorer somewhere to zip it up & upload it here.

Unsigned app limit
Any idea which homebrew can get rid of the unsigned applications limit on Mango?
I am afraid of removing all my unsigned apps for nothing

Before following the OPs suggestions I was not able to deploy Navigon Select onto my device. After editing WMAppManifest.xml I was finally able to deploy it again. Sadly it won't work. After startup it tells me that it can't complete the registry process due to not being able to connect to the network. Pitty.

Tried it with 3.0 and 1.4. Both patched. I wasn't able to deploy either one of them.

In order to deploy you have to edit that file I listed in the OP. I've got v1.3 installed as US maps only works with v1.3 & is what the map loader software came with.
EDIT: Whoops, v1.4 is what i have installed on Mango.

Yeah, I followed your advice and was able to deploy it successfully. But I just can't use it anymore since it won't registert. It keeps telling me to turn airplone mode off (which isn't on anyway).

Hum, no clue, I used Map Loader to add my maps. It turns my pc into the server. Have you checked you internet to make sure you have a good connection by loading any website in IE. Also, try WiFi. My only guess could be a data connection problem.

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

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

No problem, I have the same problem with WPDM & the beta tools. I may just have to go back to NoDo to get them myself. At least now someone made a BAT files to update so hopefully I won't have to reset my HD7 to get back into Mango again.

Problems installing GAssist on my Galaxy Watch

Hello all
Thanks for reading
I just got a new Samsung Watch and I tried to install the GAssist as per the instructions.
I was able to create a secrets.json file but was unable to plug my phone into my laptop because it says it is not recognized and after spending hours with drivers etc I just emailed the file to my phone.
I went to the GAssist App and when it asks for the JSON file it says that it is NOT VALID
I ran it through a checker online and it said that it was indeed a valid file!
I can't find a folder on my phone called credentials so that is basically where I am right now.
Any help would be appreciated!!
Mike

I was able to get it to work.
I went through the process of creating the json file on my phone's chrome and that was recognized.
The only problem is that there is quite a delay from the double button push to when the listen button appears.
Love the app otherwise!
