Mango update news for DVP

Couple of months ago, we started the discussion with firmware fix on DVP. With help from active forum members, we opened discussion with Microsoft and Dell and finally got the fix, making DVP best WP7 ever.
Now it is time for Mango update! Yesterday, Toshiba released first Mango ever!

So when can Mango hit DVP? Any ideas?

Mango is still in beta testing, dude. All the phones should get it at once, save for the carriers who delay updates for whatever reason.
Also, Microsoft is the only one that can release the update, Toshiba probably just released a phone...atleast thats what the picture looks like.

To be fair, news outlets did say this phone would be the first Mango phone to market. Considering Mango has been RTM'ed, I would guess we should see it pretty soon.

As Mango goes to carrier and manufactures already. I guess the rest of works should only be bunch of tests. And rumors said lots of people from dell are using Mango DVP already. So I guess not too much problem to see it coming out soon.

Its probably safe to say that everyone who owns a Windows Phone and has access to XDA has Mango now. We have the most-locked phone and even we got it.
Even so, Mango still has a "Release Date", and anything after that within a reasonable period of time should be blamed on the carriers for not releasing it. Possibly now since the release has been opened up to more professionals, more criticism can be achieved.

<----- this guy

I did it on my dvp works like a charm. No problems
Sent from my Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Got it on my DVP now too..
Had to delete and Update UpdateWP.exe and wm7update.dll
go to the x64 folder of the new Zune folder you get when you downlaod the mango update and manually install Setup-Update-Wp-x64.exe (it will be in folder c:/zune/04.08.2134.00/updatetool/x64/)
The rerun the c:/RCToRTM/ISVto7720.bat file
That seemed to finally get it..
Now that all said, this is my backup phone (my old DVP with a small crack in teh screen that was to be sent back to Dell) it was updated to 7712, but while loading music the new DVP it bricked on me.. and I can not get it to get out of the SD card error. I try to boot into the "connect to PC" icon, but it wont do it.. stuck at Dell logo. Any ideas on that one..?

So, I have a Samsung Infuse, but I just upgraded my brothers DVP to Mango, and I thought I'd give you the play by play.

[REQUEST] latest extras+info

I need for someone to possibly dump the latest version of the app from their development/pre-production edition of their Nokia Lumia. I don't think it matters if its a BUILD 920 or if its a developer 822, or whatever. I have a few ideas of some things that can be done via this app, as almost all of the dial codes on the 928 launch extras+info. One of them involves launching the service tools (including EPST) menu and stuff of that nature. I could probably just experiment with the one that launched with the 928 GDR2 rom, but its probably missing some "features" that have been worked on, but still incomplete.
Its also possible that these are baked inside the rom and completely inaccessible to the app and will only be updated when Nokia Black update releases.
ANY HELP WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

dumped from ROM .
but I don't know whether it is the latest one or not.
Also, I think you won't be able to deploy it to any NOKIA devices cause it requires INTEROP UNLOCK which is impossible on NOKIA now.

did you extract it from GDR2 (Amber Rom) ?
It's not the last version .
maybe we have to wait for GDR3 then we can extract last version of Extras + Info.
or maybe someone who have Samsung Ativ S can try proxy and try to download Extras + Info from market place using Sysapp Pusher (to find market link)
Then Using Full File Access to copy app files.

That's essentially why I said I needed it from a developer lumia, I don't even think it will install on ATIVs, due to OEM drivers required. Those devices have the option to have their full filesystem exposed when changed via the "Diagnostics" app that only available on developer/pre-production handsets.
Besides that what ROM did you dump this from hjc?

Is your dump from the first GDR2 that appeared on NCS for the 928 or the actual release? I have the 2nd update but not sure if extras&info updated since then??? Found this in a wim which gives me new hope that the tool is buried somewhere in this mess...

Guys a little question
Why don't we use the first lumia 920 rom ?
maybe we can find something that can help us to Interop Unlock but Microsoft and Nokia delete that in next rom releases .
Then we can Prevent Re-lock and update phone again !
I'm not sure but it seams to be some different between GDR2 rom of Nokia Lumia 920 (Apac Malaysia White is mine) and it's first Rom .
I have some problems in these days and I don't see all the differents but In first view you can find that there is no test folder in first rom but GDR2 have a folder named test and includes "QCFMFTMApp.exe"
or another thing is all of the programs are listed in :
PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\Xaps
but in GDR2 there's some xap files in this address too :
PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public\PreloadedApps\tier3Apps
did anyone checked the older Roms?

Thats it! I needed ver. 3.0.6.1 (because I can't deploy this to it and I'm not reflashing to just have an older version) to first see if there were any changes to Nokia.FUE.WinPRTRegistry, and possibly launch that registry script that's been embedded in it. Now all I need to do is see if there is a URI that links to the page, but I believe all bets are off. Nokia has been good about cleaning up their tracks.
THe version from the other extras was 2.6.1.18.

QCFMTMApp.exe seems to be a driver level executable that physically tunes the FM Radio in Nokia's various phones.
tier3apps, seem to be xaps that need additional permissions that essentially use provxml like in WP7 days. The NFL app that @tonbonz had done some looking into had a settings page that changes the WAP address for Verizon devices.It was interesting at the very least to see the differences between HTC and Nokia. The difference? @wap vs no @wap

Dump files from 2nd 928 GDR2 .... http://sdrv.ms/1hnqgNA

This package(extra+info) contains a silent installer and it is worth doing some research around it.
I opened it using ilspy only to find it called AddPackageAsync(), which is available in Windows Runtime to deploy enterprise xap and nobody knows how it works. @GoodDayToDie @ultrashot how do you think about it? Nokia use this API to install and update xap in settings page. It seems to be a service agent,too ,which is very interesting. How did it call the API silently...when we call the API, user will notice a notification asking whether he/she wants to install the enterprise app but no matter how you call it, the deployment won't succeed

I am also wondering about details of Enterprise deployment - I haven't looked into it too much, but as i remember you have to install .cer provided by MS to device and then sign your xap with it, and such apps will get installed.
(I was wondering if such signing can "unlock" any of interesting capabilities)

Sadly, enterprise apps (CAPABILITY_CLASS_ENTERPRISE_APPLICATIONS) just uses the same capability list as CAPABILITY_CLASS_THIRD_PARTY_APPLICATIONS; nothing useful there. It's a shame.

After diving into a Lumia 521 ROM, I am not 100% sure that's the case....
I was poking around in the tier3apps directory (\PROGRAMS\CommonFiles\OEM\Public\PreloadedApps\tier3Apps\), and I noticed that some of these apps ("Nokia Accessories" and "Network Settings" apps) have interesting capabilities such as <Capability Name="ID_CAP_CELL_API_OEM_PASSTHROUGH"/>, <Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/>, and <Capability Name="ID_CAP_OEM_DEPLOYMENT"/>. These apps can be installed/updated via Nokia's "SilentInstaller" app. Nokia's "SilentInstaller" app just calls into AddPackageAsync(), which is available to us "normal folk" for Enterprise app deployment.
I am wondering if we could create some sort of a "shell" xap with a giant "Install button" that contains a payload such as an unaltered copy of the Samsung Diagnostics xap and appropriate license file. Clicking on the Install button would then install the signed "elevated app" onto any device. We could then launch a toast that will launch the "Registry Editor" page in the Samsung app, allowing for us to interop unlock.
The only thing that I can think of that would make this fruitless is if somehow "AddPackageAsync()" is being called "elevated" by Extras + Info (maybe it inherits whatever capabilities the parent process launched as?), and that is why Nokia can deploy things like this.
What do you guys think? This is all speculation, but I think it could be worth exploring.
**EDIT**
My phone will be back from service Wednesday, so maybe I will whip something up next weekend, if no one tries before then.

please tell me what can I do and how can I help you ?

I could test too... I don't know if the fact this is a dual CDMA+GSM device will change any parts of the app, but I can always try!

AppPlat.Apps.FileManager.appx can be deployed to Win8.1 computer without any modify.
Actually it's not a File Manager app, it's just a file picker user interface.

well I am on Samsung Ativ S and all this app does is that it lists all my apps under the "other" section, while telling me I don't own any xbox enabled games... what is not true.
also, when I try to rate an app via this view, it brings up a message saying I have to install an app for that and sending me to the marketplace, showing me apps that support viewing apps on the Windows Store (e. g. Store Companion)

What exactly did you edit in the manifest?, because I could run this app on my L925 but only after removing the OEM capability.
I would like to edit the same on the other apps and try running them.
When I try doing the same as on the file you attached on other files I only get an deployment error with something about invalid WMAppManifest file.

The problem is, by default, you shouldn't be able to uninstall the app, as it is set by default, as assigned to the app's unique id.
I have reattached the app, with a new app ID, the only problem now is that you cannot uninstall the old one.

The original post reads like you took the new apps, from Windows Phone 8.1, and made them to be installed on Windows Phone 8.0.
Is that correct?
If it is, why?
Doesn't everyone think the Games and Music + Videos apps, from Windows Phone 8.0, are better than their 8.1 variants?
Maybe I'm reading it backwards and you actually got the old apps working on the new OS.
If that's the case, thank you...

[SUCCESS] Interop-Unlocking LUMIA - with JTAG

Hi there
Well, as we really need Interop Unlock for our Lumia phones, i decided to check this out myself.
As i already have ATF Box for a long time, i decided to buy JTAG activation and dolphin clip + lumia jigs, that i do not have to solder my phone.
Also i have ordered a Lumia 520 testing phone on ebay.
So, as the ATF Team made an awesome JTAG software update, i'm trying to interop unlock that Lumia 520 the hardware way, as just software seems to be too tough...
Well, what i did so far:
1. Freshly flashed Lumia 520 RM-914 with latest stock rom
2. Did the setup/beginning after turning it on for 1st time
3. developer unlocked it with SDK on PC
4. Made Full Dump with JTAG from dev-unlocked phone
5. Mounted MainOS partition of dump with program "OSFMount" (-->appears as Local harddisk example drive E: )
6.Loaded the SOFTWARE hive with regedit on PC from "E:\Windows\System32\config"
7. Edited the following values:
PortalUrlInt = http://127.0.0.1
PortalUrlProd = http://127.0.0.1
MaxUnsignedApp = 10003
8. unloaded SOFTWARE hive
9. unmounted dump-image
10. wrote image back via jtag
I thought it might be a good Idea to dev-unlock the phone before messing with the registry, to make sure "DeveloperUnlockState = 1" gets written the "legal" way, as the key is not available in registry before.
Maybe it's better to just modify an existing key, than adding a new one...
Well, long story short: The result is not totally satisfying.
After writing the modified image back to the EMMC, the phone is booting up, but i can NOT deploy homebrew apps that require interop unlock, like @GoodDayToDies "EnableAllSideloading.xap" for example.
But i can deploy "nomal" apps like @cpuguys "Toastlauncher" and @GoodDayToDies "Webserver"
The weird thing: If i check the reg-values via WebServer on the Phone, i can see my edited values.
So the changes ARE written to the phone. The phone just doesn't use them...
So, the good thing: phone is booting with modified rom :good:
But, the bad thing: Changes are not working.
EDIT:
SUCCESS!!!

i could successfully sideload "EnableAllSideloading.xap"
After executing enableallsideloading i could sideload latest WPHTweaks build.
Now i have 3rd tile row enabled!
awesome!
Also member @myst02 is working on interop-unlocking the lumia phones. So we decided to make this a together-project.
See his achievements here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2713098&page=10 :good:

to be able to sideload EnableAllSideloading.xap you need to change following registry key:
Software\Microsoft\SecurityManager\CapabilityClasses
add: MultiSz String
name: ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API
value: CAPABILITY_CLASS_THIRD_PARTY_APPLICATIONS
have fun.

I have found this during smurfing on the internet.
Dont know if this is something worth trying, but maybe it gives you some pointers or help.

I'm just wondering that this CAP was not secessary on Ativ S?
Or am i wrong?

I don't remember Ativ S Interop but I know it had a BootStrap app
maybe that app unlock this api i'm not sure but I know you have to open this cap first to run EnableAllCapabilities

Nice work :good:
so now , you can make a small bussines with this

I'm trying to deploy the bootstrap samsung app to the 520 this afternoon. If it works, i maybe can deploy the other apps.
If not, i'm trying to open that CAP by editing the Dump again and writing it back via JTAG.
We'll see, but i'm curious

Samsung Bootstrap uses some Samsung-specific DLLs as far as I know. This won't help you, tried this already on my Huawei Ascend W1. This won't work on your Lumia either I think. But its worth a try of course.
You'll have to edit the registry key I mentioned before to be able to sideload EnableAllSideloading.xap. You need to load the SOFTWARE file from Windows/System32/config again into your registry and edit following key. Maybe try using a registry editor on your phone before using the method you described above, but I don't think that this will work. So, you probably have no other choice than opening up your device again and edit the SOFTWARE reg-file. Then sideload EnableAllSideloading.xap and you'll be able to sideload pretty much everything you want.
Question for more experienced devs and hackers:
Is there a registry tweak or some settings anywhere else on the phone that we can access though JTAG and that allows us to boot the phone (Lumia in this case) as a mass storage device with full filesystem access? Like on the Huawei Ascend W1. This would simplify the process of changing registry keys a lot.
Best regards and good luck.

No. once JTAG halts the phone, it's halted. You can't just "pause" the phone, make changes and continue booting. Sadly.
So, only chance is by writing the modified dump back.

It's not for Lumia only, it's a universal method for every WP8 devices (including emulator) that could enter MassStorage mode
And the Bootstrap app is not a magic, it use the system service by Samsung to modify the CapabilityClasses registry key mentioned by above and this could be done by modify reg hive directly

exactly. I have done this on my Ascend W1 several times, but its easier, because I can enter Mass Storage Mode through bootloader.

I don't know how JTAG method works exactly, I only know that the device needed isn't cheap and can restore bricked phones. How it works? I have no idea, but I'm sure I'll learn quickly.
I will do some research on that soon. I'm a learning noob. :cyclops:

Most credits go to X-Shadow from advance-box team.
Because i had the Idea of modifying the phone dump and read/write via JTAG.
But usually, ATF only supported bootloader repair via JTAG. So i contacted X-Shadow and within only two weeks he updated the jtag-application, and added Custom Read/Write to every part of the EMMC.
That's how i could dump the rom, modify it and write it back.
Absolutely awesome work from that team, just releasing a software because of ONE single inquiry. :good::good::good:

Aw crap, I totally forgot to tell you to test a pure-interop app (like the bootstrap one). You interop-unlocked but failed to capability-unlock, and most WP8 homebrew requires both so of course you couldn't sideload it. DERP
But hey, if you successfully edited the capability class of ID_CAP_DEVELOPERUNLOCK_API - and it looks like you did, or could - then you can use EnableAllSideloading to capability-unlock the phone (it just edits all the other capabilities' classes). I could probably also write a "BootstrapNokia" app if you'd like; I think we have interop-based registry functions for WP8 Lumias, which would allow (for example) making SamWP8 Tools work on your Nokia as well.

SamWP8 tools on Nokia would be great.
I'll check that monday evening, when i'm back at my computer.
I'll keep you informed

Universal ReadBack Extractor for mtk feature watchphones

Update Mar-12/2016: as long as on the market appeared a long line of new types of mtk6260 mtk6261 mtk2502C mtk2502A (etc) watches equipped with strange new PCB or flash_ID parameters, the new release <Readback Extractor mtk 2.0> now has the capacity to identify, to read, check, rebuild firmware and collect and insert in the .cfg files the flash_ID's coded inside the ROM dump for almost all types of mtk watchphones or smartwatches based on RTOS Nucleus
NOTE: being tested already for mtk6260 mtk6261 mtk2502C and mtk2502A
In short - if you intend to install in your smartwatch new firmwares, mods etc, before to initiate any flashing with the Flash Tool app (pushing that goddamn < Download > button) think twice, 'bove all better DO a backup for the original firmware, why so? because it's containing all original drivers hence you'll be able to recover 100% your watch in case of bricking.
How to:
First you have need of a full dump of your ROM. Assuming that you already got a Flash Tool 5.15.16 and drivers, and you were at the point of flashing something (already chose the download agent and scatter file)
preparations:
a. Set options/backup and restore on no action
b. load the download agent (you find this file inside the flash tool folder)
c. load a scatter firmware - for initialization flash tool needs a scatter file (.cfg) - for dz09 you get this one - for any other than mtk6260A get here and get a firmware compatible with your PCB
d. in case you have W10 - go to the start menu and click on power and hold down the shift key while clicking on restart. A screen then comes up and you need to choose troubleshooting and then startup options. It will then reboot and give you a menu. press 7 which is ignore signed drivers and then when windows comes up, you will be able to install the drivers.
for instance let's say you have a DZ09 smartwatch:
1 - press < Readback > in upper menu and so < Add > in the middle menu
2 - click twice on the item appears in the main window, set name as ROM_DZ choose in browser the path and save
3 - set as Physical start address 0x00000000 and as Length 0x01000000 or 0x00800000 or 00400000 (try them in this order) then ok
4 - turn off the watch, press < Readback > in the middle menu wait 2 seconds and connect through USB your watch
5 - wait until the upload is complete (big green ring)
Now second stage:
1 - download the app I've built attached here (Readback Extractor mtk) and unzip it
2 - create a folder where you intend to keep in safe the original firmware and name it for instance DZ09-Orig
3 - do a copy of Readback Extractor mtk 2.0.exe and place it inside the DZ09-Orig folder then click twice on it
4 - press <Load Readback file> and browse after the ROM_DZ file created before with the Flash Tool then open
5 - Wait about a minute while the app will check bit by bit the integrity of your file
6 - If everything went ok and your file is healthy then app will show " health 100% " so you can proceed to the next step
7 - Press <Rebuild Firmware> and wait about one minute (it shows a progress counter)
8 - When appears the message " - ALL DONE!!!" close app and go back in the DZ09-Orig folder, now you'll find there a set of new files which are the original firmware kit ready to be flashed back in your phone anytime you want
9 - Enjoy flashing anything you like without any fear that something bad can happen
Some tricks for writing IMEI in your watch NVRAM:
you connect to usb your watch (turned on this time) and set the com port on the watch screen, go in device manager and check the port number your watch is connected, then you open Tera Term hyperterminal (google for this app), connect it as serial com on watch com port and then give the command:
AT + EGMR = 1, 7, " imei number "
if on screen appears OK then ready, you've changed your imei
AFTERWARDS READ ME story - Anywhere you search, there is no one to tell you explicitly how to extract from your mtk smartwatch the firmware kit
All says a halfmouth: Do a full < Readback > in Flash Tool, you'll do it being confident that from now on you say goodbye to any risk because you have A BACKUP hence you start flashing new firmwares. And the Big Brick is coming , you smile and get back to your < Readback > backup discovering that, sadly, you have a binary bulk at first sight good for nothing. It cannot be so useless, isn't it? after all it contains full dump of your ROM! I was in exactly the same situation, so 'cause I didn't find any answer I've started reverse engineering . . . and it worked, first I did it manually for guys being in the same situation, 've noticed that is a common issue so I had to choose how to help, simpler but dangerous (for you) way, to create a tutorial <how to> or the hard way (hard for me), to develop an app which will do all "cooking" automatically and I choose the second because in manually way there is a quite big "chance" to mess up with your primary bootloader which could get to a real tragedy - no modem - brickest brick you saw in your entire life

Sorry man, couldn't earlier because I have mine either of two weeks or so. . . still a beginner
Look at the bright side, best lessons we learn from our own mistakes, best part is that if you buy the new one from the same seller, you'll have the firmware hence two working watches!

Are there apps in the works to change watch faces without flashing?

Unfortunately, yet, there is no way to get in contact with the watch else than through proprietary mediatek drivers so that the only ways to communicate for now are Flash Tool app and bluetooth modem proprietary commands (the most important of them being secret as well)
To do such a reverse engineering is way way way over my pay grade
Still I'm working for an app which could replace any media in the watch (backgrounds, icons) but through flashing method of course

Thanks for the info...I just think this watch have great potential

I'm almost sure you found these before me, still, here link you have more than 10 versions of dz09 firmwares (others than we checked before)
It looks like they made a firmware for each phone ) very prolific guys when about dz09
Hope this time you catch the right one!
