Good Luck, Jeff
Or you could just make sure 2330f3c3_manila is read only, then install weather database. Add locations and do a soft reset.
Worked for me on Sprint... Maybe I'm missing something extra you're doing though?
I searched different sites and some people had success and others not with what your suggesting. I did what was posted in my quest for getting my location to work. Its' a whole lot of extra work but it does work.
Could you post the link for the DL of the program you're using? Thanks.
You need 3.5 .NET Framework first,

then
Weather Database Editor,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=104045&d=1217922081
At least I recall it being required, not 100%.

I've got the T-Mobile TP2, but had the same problem - when first run, the weather database editor couldn't unlock the database.
Here's what I did (very simple...)
a) Connect via ActiveSync, explore (from the PC) to the \Windows folder on the TP2
b) Copy the file 2330fc3c_manilla from the TP2 to the PC (note, the file _2330fc3c_manilla doesn't seem to exist on the T-Mobile device, but isn't needed for changing Cities)
c) On the PC, remove the readonly flag
d) Copy the file back into the Windows folder on the TP2
e) Run Weather Database Editor, add my City, close the editor
f) Soft reset the TP2
g) In Manilla, use the normal method to add the new city to the tab
One thing to note - in step e), you don't have to use the 'weather code' from Accuweather - I found that just making sure I completed the country, state and city fields - and then adding the US zip code as the 'Accu Weather Code' worked great.
I used the WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2 CAB to install, on a stock US T-Mobile ROM
Hope this helps

I had the same problems with Weather Database as well. This is why I went thru the efforts on the start of this post. Having said that, installed the Weather Database again and .net 3.5 compact framework. It didn't work as LifeStealer and thefixer pointed out the manila file was read only. I thank all those for the information and Popdog54 at sprintmogul.net for shedding light on the subject. I will leave my post the way it is as an alternative (lengthy but alternative) way to change/add cities. Again thanks.

I did this on my Verizon TP2 and it worked great. I used the 'country|state|city' code from AccuWeather rather than zip (didn't try zip).

I just tried this method as well, also on a Verizon TP2, but I'm unable to save back the modified (read only removed) file to \Windows. I get the error: "Cannot copy 2300fcc_manila: Access is denied. Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type"
Any thoughts?
I'm on sprint so... obviously sprint made a special TP2 just for me.
Oh wait thats not it.
If its read only then make it not read only. Simple I didn't even transfer over, I just copied from folder to SD -> removed flag -> pasted back on top of the old one.
*shrug*
You can always shut down TF3D if you want.

works like a charm
NetGoo: disable TF3D before you copy the file
I followed instructions in first post and worked like a charm for USCC phone.
Thanks for the help!
For those having problem with installing Chevron, specifically, the "uh oh" error.
IF METHOD 1 doesnt Work, Try method 2!
TWO METHODS.
METHOD 1:
1. Click the Windows Icon.
2. On the search box, type device manager, click enter
3. Click continue when prompted
4. On the device manager window, find "Portable Devices"
5. Right click on your Leo. Uninstall
6. Unplug your device. if you can find another "Portable Devices" uninstall it also (as it was for my case)
7. Restart PC
8. Plug device again (Do not open Zune software yet)
9. Windows should try to install driver for the device. Click on it. After installing there should be two things in there... the other one is your Leo
ready to use. I can't remember the other one, but I think it is "storage card ready to use"
10. When done correctly. Zune will open up on its own.
11. See the device sync
12. Your free space should appear in the zune software
13. Run Chevron
14. It should open now without the "uh oh" error
Then follow the original instruction on how to install chevron
METHOD 2
1. Have Winphone developer tools installed. Download it for yourself
2. Connect Phone via USB
3. Wait till zune starts and sync completes
4. Verify that zune is not in a guest relationship
5. open a command prompt, type netstat -a to confirm that port 443 is not being used
6. open an admin command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ then type notepad hosts and delete any references to
windowsphone developer services
7. go to the settings on the phone and turn airplane mode on (so that the phone is forced to use internet via zune)
8. While the phone is still on the settings page, run Chevron with admin privileges
Attention: if port 443 is used (see on your list) stop IIS or exit Skype program
Hope this helps
both method doesn't work especially the host after deleting as stated save it when open it again still the windows still exist.
but nvr mind i don't have any problem using third party software like register edit etc.
Perefect. i had trouble but option 2 work like a charm! one suggestion, instead of opening an admin command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ then type notepad hosts and delete any references to, it is easier to Open up "Notepad" as administrator" Then click on File > Open (in the file name)
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and and delete any references to
windowsphone developer services, you save it and you are done.
for me both of this methods don t work i have 7.0.7394 os version!!!what to do please HEALP!!
NEW: I created new unlocks for (almost) all Samsung WP7 devices, including 2nd generation devices like Focus S and Omnia W! More info here. Guides will be updated as soon as possible!
In Mango there is a new type of lock: INTEROP-LOCK
Normal WP7 apps are Silverlight or XNA apps. They run managed code. Some apps also use native code (C++), but Microsoft restricts the use of native code to certain selected partners, because native code is more sensitive to errors and need higher care. But there are no real boundaries for running native code on WP7 devices, as I explained here. If your device is AppHub- or ChevronWP7-unlocked, you can run the apps with native code. For example the Version and Language tool from this thread uses native code, but it can run on normal unlocked devices. But there are also apps that need access to drivers on your phone. These apps need the Interop Services capability. This capability is only allowed to software from Microsoft and from OEM's. But many homebrew apps need this capability too, to get higher privileges for tweaking your device. The new Interop Lock means that this capability is locked down. So, even when you have a legit AppHub-unlock or ChevronWP7 Labs unlock, you still can't side-load apps that need higher privileges to run. For example WP7 Root Tools needs this capability to run. But when your device is INTEROP-LOCKED it will show error 0x81030120 when you try to deploy it to your device.
Contable and Marvin_S did research on it and found that the registry setting MaxUnsignedApp is responsible for the INTEROP-LOCK. I did more research and I identified the code that is responsible for this check. In fact, if you have the MaxUnsignedApp value set to 300 or higher, your interop will be unlocked. The value of MaxUnsignedApp is determined by the type of developer-unlock you have. A normal AppHub account will have it set to 10 and a student account will have it set to 3. So a value of 300 or higher is not a realistic value for a normal developer account. It is probably only set to this value for Microsoft employees and OEM developers.
Until now, the only way to do an INTEROP-UNLOCK for MANGO meant that you have to downgrade to NoDo first, then prepare your device by loading provxml files to your device, upgrade to MANGO and then use OEM tools to execute the provxml files and do the necessary unlocks. But that is a lot of work and for some devices not even possible, because there are simply no ROM's available.
So I wanted to allow people with MANGO shipped on their device and using a legit developer unlock, to use WP7 Root Tools and other MANGO-compatible homebrew apps.
I have developed a method to do this. I have a Samsung Omnia 7 and it works on my device. It should also work on Samsung Focus. ATLien68 brought to my attention that it is also possible for LG devices to do an Interop Unlock on Mango. So I created a guide for LG too.
This only works on devices that already have a developer-unlock!
DISCLAIMER
I will not take any responsibility for any damages caused directly or indirectly from using the software-package or the instructions. Read the instructions thoroughly and proceed carefully!
BACKUP
You may want to make a backup of your device in case something goes wrong. This is what I do to make a backup:
1. Download hx4700 Killer's WP7 Backup version 1.6 from this thread. Note that I use version 1.6, not 1.8.
2. Download this archive. It is from xboxmod's WP7 Update Cab Sender thread.
3. Use Zune 4.8 final (4.8.2345.0).
4. Setup-UpdateWP 4.8 beta 3 from the archive.
5. Extract the "Tools" folder from the archive.
6. Setup the Backup tool to reference Zune.exe and the UpdateWP.exe in the extracted Tools-folder.
7. Create your backup. The backup app will allow you to archive any previous backup. Your phone will restart and go in Download-mode. When the backup is finished, the app will tell you to disconnect. Even though your phone says you still can't disconnect, you can safely disconnect the phone and it will restart.
SAMSUNG
WARNING!! The new Samsung Omnia 7 KK2 update will prevent the use of Interop Unlock and WindowBreak! This Samsung Firmware update is accompanied with the 7.10.8107.79 if you update with Zune. Other Samsung devices are probably affected too, but I don't know if the update code for those device is KK2 too. If you are already unlocked, this update will not relock your device. If you want to keep the possibility of Interop Unlock open, then use the method described in this thread to update to 7.10.8107.79 without updating to Samsung KK2!
1. Download the software package Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap.
2. Connect your phone to your desktop computer, running Zune.
3. Check for updates and let all pending updates install.
4. Uninstall the Samsung Diagnosis app.
5. Dial ##634# to install the latest Samsung Diagnosis app.
6. Use any Windows Phone App Deployment tool to install Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap.
7. Run the Samsung Diagnosis app. You should see version 1027, 1122 or 0103 at the top. The version is the compile-date without year. So version 0103 is actually newer than 1122. Versions from before 2010/10/27 do not seem to work. If you have such an old version of the Diagnosis App you need to run the latest Samsung Update (Mango Drivers) from Zune or update manually as described here. After the update you need to perform step 4 and 5 again.
8. In the Diagnosis app dial: *#9908#
9. Select "Heathcliff74 Interop Unlock"
10. Tap "Save", tap "Close" and exit the Diagnosis app. You are now unlocked, but your 3G settings are screwed (side-effect).
11. To repair your 3G settings use one of these six options:
---- 11.1. NEW: This option only works on 1st generation Samsungs. Download "Samsung Repair 3G by Heathcliff74.xap" and run it on your phone. It should work immediately.
---- 11.2. Use the Diagnosis app (thanks to Vintage144 for the tip).
-------- 11.2.1. Open up the Diagnosis app.
-------- 11.2.2. Dial this to enable autoconfigure sim setting: *#94765# (or dial 40*047#3, it's the same - more diagnosis codes here)
-------- 11.2.3. It will ask you to restart the device. Confirm that.
---- 11.3. If your device is not locked to a specific operator, you can use the Samsung Network Profile app (for 1st generation) or Wireless Manager (for 2nd generation)
-------- 11.3.1. Uninstall the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
-------- 11.3.2. Download and install the latest version of the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app from the Marketplace.
-------- 11.3.3. Open the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
-------- 11.3.4. Select a different Network Operator.
-------- 11.3.5. Now Select your own Network Operator again.
-------- 11.3.6. Exit the Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
---- 11.4. Use lyriquidperfection's Samsung Tools (probably only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.4.1 Download the Samsung Tools here.
-------- 11.4.2. Deploy the tools to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock)
-------- 11.4.3. Start "Samsung Tools"
-------- 11.4.4. Select "Run ADC"
-------- 11.4.5. Tap "Reboot"
---- 11.4. Use WP7 Root Tools for manual repair (I will add an option to repair 3G in the next version, currently only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.5.1. Download WP7 Root Tools here.
-------- 11.5.2. Deploy WP7 Root Tools to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock).
-------- 11.5.3. Open WP7 Root Tools.
-------- 11.5.4. In the registry editor navigate to Local Machine\System\AutoDataconfig.
-------- 11.5.5. Set value ConfigurationStatus to 0 and set value RunADC to 1.
-------- 11.5.6. Restart your phone.
---- 11.6. Use TouchXperience Advanced Config Tool 1.4 (thanks to Ludovic B. for the tip, probably only works on 1st generation Samsungs).
-------- 11.6.1. Download Advanced Config Tool here.
-------- 11.6.2. Deploy Advanced Config Tool to your phone (which is now possible due to Interop-Unlock).
-------- 11.6.3. Open Advanced Config Tool.
-------- 11.6.4. Go to "Tweaks" and scroll down.
-------- 11.6.5. Check "Run Auto Data Config".
-------- 11.6.6. Scroll down and tap "Reboot phone".
Resolve Samsung connection problems
Thanks for this info to lulede!!
A lot of Samsung owners have complained here about connection problems. They blamed Interop Unlock, but apparently this has more to do with enabling "Internet Connection Sharing" than with "Interop Unlock". You should be able to recover the connection, apply this:
1. Start Diagnosis App> *#32489#
2. Tap "Back" 2 times to go back to Phone Control
3. Choose: [7] Network Control
4. Choose: [1] GFC
5. Choose: [3] Setting Cancellation
Wait for it to say success, then reboot.
LG
1. Install the MFG app by dialing: ##634#
2. Open the MFG app. The password is: appmfg#*#
3. Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
4. Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
5. Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"
6. Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD.
7. Leave input data box empty and tap "SET".
8. The output should be 0.
9. Now enter "1" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
10. The output should be 1.
11. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
12. Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD.
13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
14. Output result should be "0".
15. Set your input key to "PortalUrlInt" and set to DWORD.
13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".

15. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install"
16. Set your input key to "MaxUnsignedApp" and set to DWORD.
17. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
18. The output should be 0.
19. Now enter "2147483647" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
20. Output result should be "2147483647".
HTC
I didn't do this hack for HTC's all by myself. This hack is a joint collaboration of XDA members. A valuable part of this hack was done by Kounadisk and GoodDayToDie. Thanks to them!
Also thanks to CeesHeim for arranging a hand-on HTC device for me to test with.
This hack need the HTC Connection Setup app. HTC Arrive can't run the HTC Connection Setup app. Therefore this hack will not work on HTC Arrive. Verizon Wireless Trophy users should follow slightly different steps. Scroll down for instructions that are specifically meant for Verizon Wireless Trophy.
Developer unlock can be either AppHub or Chevron Labs.
Important note: From what I understand, HTC has released *two* OEM updates after Mango. The first one was released together with Mango and included the first Mango drivers from HTC. I will call those the HTC Mango Drivers v1. The second one is being rolled out now and is by other people referred to as the "tethering update". This update also contains updated drivers. I will call those the HTC Mango Drivers v2. If you have a 1st generation HTC device, you may or may not have installed the HTC Mango Drivers v1 or v2. If you are on Mango with Interop Lock, you may need this hack to perform Interop Unlock. The HTC Mango drivers have extra protection which will reject the configuration settings for Interop Unlock. The current hack for HTC defeats the extra protection in HTC Mango Drivers v1. But in HTC Mango Drivers v2 there is an even more advanced protection, which is a breaking change that causes the Interop Unlock to fail. The second generation HTC devices (HTC Radar / HTC Titan) come with the HTC Mango Drivers v2 preloaded. So currently only First generation HTC Mango devices can only be Interop Unlocked if there are no HTC Mango updates or only HTC Mango Drivers v1. So the first generation HTC devices that also have the HTC Mango Drivers v2 and the second generation HTC devices can currently not be Interop Unlocked. I am looking for an exploit in the HTC Mango Drivers v2. If you have a first generation HTC device and you have the HTC Mango Drivers v2 and you still have a backup from before that last update, you can restore that backup and apply Interop Unlock. You can update to the latest drivers again and preserve the Interop Unlock.
There are also users with 1st generation HTC devices only HTC Mango Drivers v1, who report that this is not working. This can be fixed. These people should read the notes at the end of this guide!
1. Make sure you have a backup of your device (scroll up for instructions)
2. Make sure you hava a backup of your backup (No kidding! Zune may overwrite the backup you made. Here's the backup: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update)
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.
5. Download and install HTC Connection Setup on your HTC device (if you don't have it already)
6. Start HTC Connection Setup.
7. Tap the three dots in the down-right corner of your screen and tap "manual select".
8. Tap on the country. This will open a list of countries you can select.
9. In the country-list scroll to "Interop Unlock" and select it.
10. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished.
11. Tap "Done" to exit the app.
12. Now open "Connection Setup" again. This is to prevent Connection Setup opening when you restart your device.
13. It will show you your current operator.
14. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished again.
15. Tap "Done" to exit the app.
Note for people who don't have this working: I changed the order of the steps in the guide a little bit. If you have attempted to deploy other hacks using HTC Connection Setup (GoodDayToDie version for Interop Unlock or something else) it could be that the files that were deployed are blocking this new hack. You should try to uninstall HTC Connection Setup, restart your phone and then follow the the steps in the guide again (with changed order). Hope that works for you.
Steps for Verizon Wireless Trophy users (thanks to LiFePo4 for modified instructions):
1. Make sure you have a backup of your device (scroll up for instructions)
2. Make sure you have a backup of your backup (No kidding! Zune may overwrite the backup you made. Here's the backup: %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update)
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.
5. Download and install HTC Connection Setup on your HTC device (if you don't have it already)
6. Go to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to GSM. Exit back to main screen and wait for data connection to go away (there will be a little box with the crossed circle in the upper left where connection status is shown).
7. Start HTC Connection Setup.
8. Tap the three dots in the down-right corner of your screen and tap "manual select".
9. Tap on the country. This will open a list of countries you can select.
10. In the country-list scroll to "Interop Unlock" and select it.
11. Tap on the round ok-button at the bottom of your screen and wait until connection setup is finished.
12. Make sure you perform step 12 and 13 directly after each other! Tap "Done" to exit the app. This will take you back to the applist.
13. Quickly Uninstall HTC Connection Setup and never allow it to run again.
14. Power off and back on phone.
15. Go back to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to CDMA. Exit to main screen and verify 3G is there.
16. Go back to Settings / Cellular and set Mode to Global. Exit.
17. Uninstall the HTC Interop Unlock.xap
This method does not loose 3G (HTC connection setup really does no good with the CDMA network so it used only once for Interop Unlock; if it ever runs a second time it screws up the CDMA data connection).
Note to people who have trouble with their HTC Connection Setup restarting automatically on every reboot of the device, or having problems with their data connection:
Normally the Connection Setup should be restored automatically with this hack. But if something goes wrong, it is possible that your HTC Connection Setup is left in a unservicable state. I that case follow these steps:
1. Download and deploy the attachment: Repair HTC CS.xap
2. Run Connection Setup.
3. Apply settings of your operator.
4. Uninstall Repair HTC CS.
That should do it.
Note to everybody: Please report success and failure, including all device specs and abnormalities (errors etc)! I want to improve the guide as much as possible!
Have fun with homebrew now!

Dude you have the legendary tools .
So, if I just have a Mango device that is Dev unlocked, I can use this and get a "full unlock" on my phone ?
I really would like to know if it works on one of the HTC leaked roms. I really want to upgrade due to the better performance, DLNA support, better radio, etc but, I can't get a "full unlock" on it due to not going back to NoDO (and there is NO backup rom for the Verizon HTC Trophy, Yes, I have looked).
Does this have the INTEROP tag in the app ? If it does not, it should install no problem on a dev unlocked device.
Almost tempted to go back to NoDo and upgrade with only a Dev unlock to 7720 to try this, if I can get a full unlock from that point, I know it will work and this would be epic !
This sounds awsome if it works on HTC devices....
Crossing fingers....
i have tried deploying it on my htc mozart. it gives an error message saying 'the program has been blocked by group policy'
no LG support yet?
(I don't need it but thought I'd ask anyway)
thanks
Ok. Not working as expected
The good news: It still seems to be working on Samsung! But you will need an updated version of the xap. I will post it in a few minutes.
I tried to deploy CustClear.provxml to \Windows. On my device that seemed to work. I thought I had disabled my root-access. But I forgot to disable some of my policies. The result was that I had access to write to \Windows this way, while 'normal' device don't have that.
But I still seem to have write-access to \provxml for Samsung. I double-checked it now.
I will update the opening post.
Sorry to HTC users
Ciao,

"FullUnlock" is a prove-of-concept from Cotulla. You can read about it here. FullUnlock is a way to run native executables.
This is slightly different. I called this "Interop Unlock". Interop locking is meant to block native code in a Silverlight app. All your normal apps are Silverlight apps. Many homebrew apps are Silverlight apps that use native code, like WP7 Root Tools. The method described in this thread is to allow Silverlight apps use native code. This is not for native executables.
Read more about the different type of unlock here.
Most custom roms already have this kind of unlock. This is primary meant for devices with Mango shipped on it.
This app does not have the Interop-flag in it. It is meant to allow to deploy other apps with the Interop flag that previously would not install.
Anyway, for now this seems to be working only on Samsungs. So unfortunately no HTC support as yet.

Gosh I wish the Dell Venue Pro had cool stuff, I am almost to the point of giving up hope. Ill never lose my NODO backup just in case thanks cliff
Heathcliff, you never cease to amaze me. Great work. One issue though. The Network Profile app doesn't work on my AT&T Focus, when I open it up it says "It cannot be used if in a locked state by mobile operator. If I click OK it won't let me change from AT&T.
But the good news is I was able to install your new root tools now! No rolling back to Nodo needed. I just need a way to fix my 3G without network profile
EDIT: I just tried installing the "unofficial" network profile app that works on locked phones, but the app doesn't open. It goes right back to the start screen.
EDIT 2: OK I think I have 3G back. I installed Samsung Tools by lyriquidperfection here, I selected Set 'Run ADC' flag at next boot. I now have my 3G logo back. He included the source for the xap, maybe you could include this with your xap that we can run?
Awesome!!!!!!!! Works perfectly!
I've always been able to install apps with "ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES". However I can never run them as they crash right away. I was really excited when I first heard of this today but now i'm just confused.
ANyone with a HTC device confirm this works ?
Nice! Worked perfectly for me (Samsung Focus) I did have to use Samsung Tools to get my 3G back since I couldn't use the Network thingy but that wasn't a problem since my phone can now sideload interop apps.
What Omnia7 ROM have you flashed, so that can get the newest Diagnosis app? I have flashed the newest WP7_Product NoDo Rom (I8700XXKC1_XXKB2) and it comes with Diagnosis ver.0103. Uninstalling and re-entering Diagnosis mode, installs the same old version.

Please Help me...the trick works but i'm not able to get my 3g connection working again...I didn't understand the "samsung network profile" thing in the guide before doing the trick and now i'm without connection...how can I repair it? I'm from Italy and i have an omnia 7 and i'm not able to find the app "samsung network profile" in my marketplace...you can just tell me how to go back, it's not a problem if i'll lose the interop-unlock...

I live on a boat, and wanted to use my phone as a gps source with opencpn ... turns out it wasn't too hard. Thought I'd share with the class.
You'll need com0com or some other virtual com modem. Either that, or send it directly out to a nmea 2.3 network over serial.
com0com 64bit download: available here
com0com 32bit download: available here
2 Scenarios are available, to use with software on your computer:
1. Download and install com0com for your computer architecture, the drivers are not signed by Microsoft so it will warn you of this, just say install anyway.
2. Sideload the xap to your phone
3. Run connector provided with the gpskit attachment.
4. Run the app on the phone, taking care to ensure the device is tethered to the computer being used and Zune is running.
5. Press enable.
6. If everything is running fine, you should see updates from the phone in the connector console window.
7. Running Google Earth:
- Start Google Earth
- Click Tools->GPS
- Select the realtime tab
- Set up options or just use the defaults
7. Setting up OpenCPN
- Start OpenCPN
- Click the wrench icon (toolbox)
- Select the GPS Tab
- type into the NMEA Data source the other com port (if you are using defaults: CNCB0)
8. Track away at your position
To use with an existing NMEA Network:
1. Sideload the xap to the phone
2. Start the gpskit client on the computer, and enter 9060 as the default service port and the com address of the NMEA connector that is connected to the computer.
3. Run the app on the phone ensuring that it is connected to the computer by usb and Zune is running.
And that's it, you can use your WP7 device as an external GPS device.
gpskit command line:
gpskit.exe [-p service port -c serial port] [-v] [-s]
-s must be supplied if -p and -c are provided
-v turns on verbosity and debug messages
Good hunting

You'll need com0com or some other virtual com modem. Either that, or send it directly out to a nmea 2.3 network over serial.
Simply upload it to your phone, make sure its tethered to the computer via usb, then run the app and push enable.
On your computer run NMEATest and the service port is 9060, and then a com port to write to the nmea data to. Fakegps is a service I wrote that basically uses the defaults of NMEATest and would work whenever the app was running on the phone. However, I cannot guarantee it will work and I wouldn't recommend using it. However, it contains the library that nmeatest requires and I'm not a big fan of copy/paste.
To use it with your application like google earth, opencpn simply download a virtual null modem like com0com and then point it to one of the default com ports it creates. After that, start up the app like normal and with the software running google earth will catch it under tools/gps/live menus
Have a very spledid day, I'm going sailing.
PS. I'm not sure how mono treats the serialport class ... so maybe it'll work on linux? Someone let me know.

Hi withinboredom
Could you please recommend null modem software for an x64 machine? Also, the instructions are not that clear.
Thank you very much for putting this together.
Cheers

Just edited the post, that should make it a bit easier.
Uploaded a new version with command line switches
Further instructions needed I think

Hi withinboredom
I'm still can not seem to get this to work. Here is what I did:
Disabled UAC and put Windows 7 into Test Mode to allow unsigned drivers
Installed 64-bit version of com0com
Renamed the two virtual ports to COM17 and COM18 using the com0com graphical setup utility
Sideloaded the App onto my phone, started it and enabled the service
Started GPSKit.exe
In the command line window I set the service port to 9060 and set the Serial Port to COM17
I did not get any information showing up from the phone
Opened Google Earth and set GPS to realtime tracking
When I clicked "Start" it scanned through the ports and stopped at "reading COM17" but did not seem to provide any GPS information.
I followed the same procedure again but this time set the Serial Port to COM18 in the GPSKit.exe command line window which lead to the same result.
Can you please tell me what I have done wrong?
Thanks

Make sure Zune is running and recognizing the phone before starting the service on the computer. Also make sure that pressing enable is the LAST thing you do before starting google earth (if you push it too early, you can press it again to start the connection over again - good for force refreshing the position if the phone decides to stop getting it.)
Yes, working now

No position with opencpn or maxsea
Hi
this is the perfect solution for me, but i cant get a location with opencpn or maxsea. with google earth it is working. any ideas?
I can see that opencpn recieves data from gps, but cant show position.
I found someone with the same problem at opencpn forums. This problem is fixed in the latest beta of Opencpn.
It may have something to do with this:
"I suspect the NMEA sentences do not have CR/LF line endings. They may have only CR, or only LF.
For instance, GPRMC will be "Unrecognized" if the line endings are not correct, although it looks right to the eye."
Any chance you could check this? if this is fixed i can also use this with maxsea.
I'm trying to find information about a multimedia system i have installed in my Skoda, the sticker on the device says CNT100, which is manufactured by CarNeTek (device page - https://www.carnetek.com.tw/products_detail/15.htm, not sure if they are the manufactures or just a reseller).
The company which sell and install it locally are not willing to share any information about the device, and of course are not willing to unlock it (to install applications from the play store, tweak configuration, etc.).
On the device there are 6 dip switches (which i couldn't figure out what they control), and no visible button (to get into recovery), i can get to the play store, and install applications - but as soon the installation is completed - they get uninstalled (there is a list of application that are not automatically uninstalled).
The launcher looks like a custom local version, there is no way to get into the settings page and the notification bar cannot be clicked (or dragged down), if i click multiple times on the menu - i get a dialog for some configuration, where i'm prompt for password (the dialog has a random number on it - which i suspect is used to generate correct password).
is anyone familiar with this device? or can suggest a way to unlock it?
(attached images of the device and the boot screen)
Hey mrtowel!
Trying to figure out that as well.
You said "if i click multiple times on the menu"
Where is this menu? possible to send a photo of that?
I'm talking about an Israeli version
Seems to be customized by [email protected]
sorry but i was wrong describing the way to get to the password dialog, on the home screen - there is a weather widget, showing the weather on the left side and the clock on the right side, multiple taps on the weather allows you to reboot the device, while multiple taps on the clock gets you to the password dialog.
I made some progress with the device - still working on getting it unlocked completely, let me know if you want more details.

Hey!
Just found that new to me. Pushed 6 times on the clock of the weather widget and got a prompt for the password. I receive a 9 digit number with that.
Also found that if you do the same on the temperature indication, you'll be prompt for device restart.
So that's a progress.
Anyways, I will be happy to hear from you, what progress you have made on this.
Will send you a PM.
Did someone have any success?

try to get to app store (in case it is installed) through one of the installed apps using the 'rate us' option, you can also try and push a play store link through bluetooth, if it works - the android system will launch the play store app, and you'll be able to setup your account.
Once you get to the play store - download and install Googel app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox&hl=en) this will let you ask google assistant to 'Open Display Settings' (in my case this option let me enable the drag down menu, where i could easily access the settings and other stuff).
hope that helps
?
Hey did you succeed?
please help
Hi
did any one of you had any success with getting into setting menu ?
i can get to google play...but as was posted before, everything i try to install immediately erase itself.....
does any one have the approved app list from ituran ?
i do believe that together we can crack this....
thanks
Thanks for the tips I've made it to download youtube! But how I can bypass the limit to install all apps from play store?
Also how can I cancel the restrictions of using apps during drive?
Thanks

Hey @mrtowel any change you can share some more details?
I tried connecting to the USB with my laptop to try doing some adb commands but it did not detect anything
I'm also wondering about the dip switch
and how to get the password bypass
Would really like to hear some more details if you can share please?
Just came here to see if can recall my steps from last time i played with the device (i kind of gave up, as it worked well with what there is, but recent update made it work really slow).
turns out there is a post on facebook (https://facebook.com/groups/gilcar/permalink/729881061134680/?comment_id=729883497801103), i'm going to try and build some utility to generate unlock codes (last time, i managed to get to an adb terminal, but i wasn't aware of the `pm hide` option to disable the installation blocker ****).
will post updates here if i get some progress
For anyone interested, attached the list of whitelisted apps. a jar to generate the code to enable tech mode and how i disabled the installation blocker
For the jar - you would need to get your device Wifi MAC address (see old post from 2019 on how to enable the navigation bar), which can be retrieved from the 'אודות' section. (run the jar by running 'java -jar codeGen_jar.jar 00:11:22:33:44:55' - replace the numbers with your device mac address)
Wifi must be enabled - before the next step
To get to the code, hit few clicks on the clock widget in the home screen would prompt you with a password (if the code generator matches your version of connect-it (if it isn't - see bypass admin mode workaround below), the codes would match), enter the unlock code (admin mode result from the codeGen output) and move to the apps section - you would see 'tech mode' application.
Wifi must be connected before the next step
On the tech mode application - you would have another code (tech mode result from the codeGen) enter it - and it would open a page to enable adb remote server (you must be connected to a wifi network to get it to work).
Connect to the adb using a remote shell from another device (or a laptop), to the specified IP on port 1917 (note that most mobile tethering options won't work due to networking limitations). If you don't have an accessible wifi network - see Wifi Workaround below
From adb, run the following:
to disable the application which blocks installations: pm hide com.ituran.installationblocker
Disable updates: pm hide com.ituran.systemupdateservice
Disable blocking applications while driving: pm hide com.ituran.driveusagemonitor
Tips:
While in admin mode, you can see all installed applications, and pin them to the start page of the home screen, recommend to pin Play Store app (as it is usually hidden)
Don't try to enable or enter 'Guest mode' (i tried it, and the device went into boot loop)
The codes generated are date sensitive, so either generate new ones if you won't use them in the same day, or change the device date.
Wifi Workaround : a workaround can be to install modified version of 'Remote ADB Shell' (attached) on the device, save it to your mobile phone, and push it to the device through bluetooth, this version is the same version as 'Remote ADB Shell' from the play store - only names 'Spotify' which will keep it installed on the device, after installation, run it and connect to 127.0.0.1 on port 1917 instead.
Bypass admin mode workaround : while Admin Mode enables you to view the hidden applications, in the above process, it mainly gives you the option to run the tech mode app. if the code for the admin mode isn't working for you, install 'Amaze file explorer' (attached - it was renamed to bypass the installation blocker) by pushing it through bluetooth.
You can find more details on this facebook post (not mine - but i used details from this thread to figure out how to disable the application from ADB)
Enjoy and drive safely.

Hi Mr.
mrtoweldo you have any videos explain the steps in post #13 I will be thankful if you provide me with for urgent case.
thank you dear for great job
