NOT WORKING: Liberate your shift! - Shift General

Hello,
the procedures for liberating the shift does not work anymore on new editions of the shift:
When trying to run the application "liberate!" after doing the "trick" copying of the link, the message: "This application is not signed and is not allowed to run".
Futhermore when trying to run the registry application, the same message is shown: "This application is not signed and is not allowed to run".
Furthermore the application "USB Tool" cannot run because of the same above message.
We have tried to find out how to disable the signature checking algorithm, however we have not found a solution yet.
The shift is the current newest version of HTC Shift.
What to do then?
Regards,
Atommax

WHAT!
Are they outlawing and blocking our liberation attempts?!!
Geez, are they realy that uptight?
This sucks!

sorry misread your post atommax

martincyborg... yep I followed the procedure with doing the "insert picture" and saving the attachments in the my documents/settings folder... afterwards ctrl +x and ctrl + v the folder back to the /windows folder.
the icon for liberate came into the settings window, but when pressing it it said "application not signed, ... not allowed to run" ...
however we found out that if you do not copy the settings folder back to the windows folder, then when selecting settings in the snapvue today screen, the programs window comes up and you can e.g. select file explorer... however you cannot run the liberate app nor registry app cause not signed.. :-(
can somebody make a signed app of the liberate thing?

i get it. did you pm paul at modaco?

Try to insert this Disable Security.CAB into \Settings
together with the Liberty.cab
Run this cab first before running the Liberty.cab.
Hope this can work for your new Shfit!

oh f*ck htc. first the ATT unflashable radio, now this.
but of course we will investigate this more closely. can someone with this new shift version PM me? thank you.

Have you tried unlocking it via remote registry?
If it's not possible, you can always flash an old signed rom which does not have the protection.

nope no PM's yet... I wonder if original poster just did something wrong
but anyway if your shift is similarly locked, then do PM me, I want to see how the issue can be solved (as you can see from pof's post, we have several ideas)

I have just tried liberating by brand new Shift - works perfectly first time - no errors and everything installs.

How to liberate htc shift.HELP!!!!!!!!

Hallo,
I'm tatanni an italian student, I have htc shift, but I have a great problem to liberate snap vue.
I tried to share the file to liberate my htc shift, but when I open the unblock zip file by winrar, there is showed a file:000CAb164.001 - 000Cab165.001- file setup and file liberate000 that I can't read.
Thanks
The file it's not supposed to open. Follow modaco's procedure in this link
http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/266537/View-Topic/
it has a video for you to see if you can't understand the procedure.

You have to configure the e-mail in SnapVue side, it only works there. Did you follow the movie steps, all of them???
If yes, you are not told to open any files, only to save them...
Please watch the film very carfully and follow each step, if you need pause the film between procedures. It helps if you follow the film in a diffrent computer.

Hi tatanni
You need to hold your stylus on that attachment for a while, it opens a dialog box to save it. If you click on it, WinMo will try to open it. Good Luck.

It has been 2 days searching the Internet without any success. the email form and links on the official site are not working please if anyone has the files share a link or email them to me at either mshauny at gmail dot com or Shauny at cutdeV dot Co dot cc.

Got another problem:
if i send the files as attachment via aol,
only the .link one is shown in SnapVue.
If i take a look at the same mail in vista,
Liberate is also there.
Why this?
late edit: took another provider (web.de) and both files appeared...

Download it from here:
Code:

Or get the .cab from MoDaCo, for a 2MB download, instead of a 33MB download.

nljuggler ; oooh yea, how could i forgotten tht? ofc i tried google.(not tryin to b mean) **ur 2nd comment** - naw no thxs
fitnessvip ; yea i tried this but i wasn't SURE how to activate it on the HD2. How i did it was save the file onto the destop then connect the HD2 to the computer then open up the Phone memory (NOT THE "STORAGE CARD") then just copy and paste the Framework into tht place.so then i thought i was done so then i disconnect it then press the start button and going to "File Explorer" and activate it from there but it doesn't work

Well that's how I found the result in my second post. If you should decide to download it anyway. Copy the .cab file anywhere on your phone (or storage card). Find it with the File Explorer on your phone and click it.
It will start the installation. I'm not even sure it's going to ask you where you wish to install it, but do select 'Device' if appropriate.

Yes, you can delete .cab files after installing them. Too bad the game gave you an error. What was the exact error?

A quick search on Google shows that your not the only one with this problem. Haven't found out what caused it yet.
But when do you get this error, as it would be very coincidental if you are referring to the same game as Hockey_Rulez11. Because he never mentioned the nam of the game.

makes sense if WP7.5 checks with the mothership if apps are kosher. Nice one
It may also mean that your phone has become Dev_locked
hm, that would mean i'm not able to sideload or run .xap's anymore on the other hand, wouldn't it? but i still can haven't played with the "prevent unlocking" option also..

I've posted this before and I will do it again.
Dont try to prevent unlocking, you will lose your xaps!
But you know that anyway, i've seen you post on schaps site
true about sideloading, weird.
edit; actually it happened to me here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275303 where were you then?

p.s.II also on my girlfriends fresh 7720 final - flashed hd2 incl. cleanup, hardreset and so on, the adv. conf. tool self-resumes after 3 - 5 sec. if phone service is running... before i was able to make one only setting. in flight mode it's running fine (the tool). must be a problem in adv. config

DVP Mango EM App

I finally got my hands on the 1.12 Engineering Mode application and have decompiled it (see attached (decompiled - not working really))
And Guess what?
I Found the File Browser !!!!!
When you go to the RD Test -> About page enter in FB or 983 and BAM! File Browser!
It is limited (can only read text files), slow and hard to use but hey it's a file browser!
Incase you were wondering, here is the URL to the package:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._c13ae38ec4ab63aeb46ee1f7bbee3ab878390112.cab
Also attached is the EM app itself if you wanted just that.
Other info
There are 188 different menus in this application!!
I hope you're successful!
This are indeed great news.
You're contribution to the DVP is great.

I found the URL where the mango cab was from Microsoft's windows update. From there I just extracted the cabs and the xaps.
that's pretty smart
may want to get in touch with notebookgrail since he performed a similar inquiry with em.xap

I already read and tried it. The problem is there isnt a custome boot loader available for the DVP and you need the cab.pks files to be signed by microsoft.
FWIW - the File browser in DVP is a plain old binary/stream reader. All it does is just reads each byte by byte and is programmed to parse for folder and file. Hence, it's useful to read text file. It can also read any file for that matter (bascailly like opening a dll or anyfile with notepad) - as long as you have patience starring at the dark screen .
FYI - this filebrowser is there since 1.10FW.
This app is really useful if you know the exact path of the file you want to read. All u do is write a short code and make a dev app that will take input of a the path and just spit the contents of it. (i had one a while back, will dig and see if it works in Mango). Again you will get tombstoned by the MS security.
I'm in EM and click RD Test. I have a textbox. How do I get to the file browser? I entered 983 in there and nothing happened.
EDIT: Nevermind, you type in *#6336#
I need some help from a DVP AT&T user with mango and all that Jazz installed.
Download the Windows Phone Device Manager from http://www.touchxperience.com/ and install it. Connect your DVP wait 30 seconds and then run the WP Device Manager as administrator. It will take a few seconds to a minute and download and install the touch explorer applicaiton. It should now conect to the application and show an image of the DVP on the desktop. If not turn off wifi, click "PC Connection" once (it will fail), hit cancel at the prompt and then turn WiFi back on. If you are connected to your home router we can connect over wifi to your desktop. Click on PC conneciton again and this time it might ask you for your computer's IP. Enter that and it should connect. Without closing the app now or letting the screen turn off go into WPDM and click on the File Explorer. Click on Windows and then find the EM.xap file. Attach it to a post here so I can see if the AT&T version is any different than the T-Mobile version. I doubt it is but who knows.
Here you go, from an unlocked AT&T device. Doubt it's any different.
Darn it looks the same. I was hoping for something new to exploit.

Htc shift snapvue reset

GIve also just obtained a htc shift, but whilst the previuis owner had restored the vista side ok. The snapvue side doesnt work as they have forgotten the password. There used to be tools to reset this but unsurprisingly the links are dead. If any one could make them available it would be a lifesaver
Found on google drive via seperate post from 2012. I have made a copy on my own google drive and can make available if required.
It looks like you are looking for the Shift_ClearSnapVUE utility.
I have files for the HTC Shift. I've sent you a PM.
