ATIV SE - Windows Phone 8 General

I broke my interop unlocked Ativ S. Instead of buying a new one I bought the Ativ SE from Amazon without a contract. I've read every post with "ATIV SE" in it and searched the forum for hours looking to see if any progress has been made with the ATIV SE.
The phone came unlocked, however I can not receive MMS messages or turn on internet sharing with out using a friends Verizon sim card. I have T-Mobile service which is the source of my issues.
Fiddler works to install most other manufacture APPs. I did a stupid thing though and upgraded the phone to windows 8.1 because of Cortana. The Nokia Access point will not install.
Is there anything that can be done with the ATIV SE yet? A lot of post say "all Samsung devices" but pre-date the Ativ SE's release. I've contacted Microsoft, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Samsung trying to figure out the issue or get the phone flashed with a generic ROM but support only wants to point fingers at other companies and rush me off the phone.
Any information is welcome. I've tried customizing the APN settings every way I could and had T-Mobile resend correct setting countless times and still nothing. Verizon did something with the ROM to make it miserable to use on another carrier. I can get the diagnostic app to install but it seems like codes have changed from the Ativ S.
I spent hours trying to get the correct LTE settings for T-Mobile and 6 weeks of frustration makes me want to go buy another Ativ S.

I can't recommend anything besides wait awhile. No work has been done on the device as its specifically manufactured for Verizon.
I would attempt to call Samsung. Say you got an update from Verizon and the spinning gears won't stop spinning after 5 hours. I've heard that Samsung has offered onetime flashing, but I don't remember where.
Once you get a GDR3 version of the phone, try editing stuff inside diagnosis or APNs.

Did you ever get your problem solved with the MMS or internet sharing? Im in the same situation.
Any help is much appreaciated.

Have the mms and Internet Sharing ever been solved for the Ativ SE for WP8 and Official WP8.1? I would like to buy one to use for at&t if it is.

I've been trolling the forums for months off and on. So far there's been progress but after FINALLY being able to roll the device back to WP 8.0 GDR3 and upgrading to the "real" WP 8.1 it looks like Verizon has made things much more difficult. The APN settings are locked and hidden. I was able to get LTE data working again, but MMS and Internet sharing is FUBARed.
Maybe I can't follow directions, but it seems like every way to edit the registry has been patched after upgrading to Verizon's version of the OS.
Root Tool is available in the APP Store, but I can't get it to function.
The Registry Key information that needs editing is readily available on the forum, but I haven't found a functioning method to do so.
If anyone has been able to successfully edit the Registry on an ATIV SE please provide the info on how you did it!

I have no idea how to use the MBN creator either.
What I have figured out is:
1) Able to flash device back to stock
2) Side load unsigned developer apps
3) Find necessary lines in Registry to edit
If anyone has a modded image that works with WP8_Binary_Downloader_Ver._3.54.exe, or can help me put the last pieces of the puzzle together, that would be awesome!

So you're saying you were able to edit the APN for MMS on WP8 and it still didnt work but now with the official real WP8.1, the APN for MMS are hidden and can't even be edit anymore? Man that really sucks! I really like the phone too. Have you tried these

Yes. The Windows Insider APP was updated, so it closed that method of registry editing and Couldn't manage to get write access enabled for CustomPFD. If I could edit the registry the phone would be perfect.

Ok that make sense. So can you sent MMS still? I'm very close to buying this phone for at&t but without MMS and Internet Sharing, I might not, unless you or someone gets it solved. I wish I was a developer.

I tried it again for ****s and Giggles. I got tethering to work!
Am going to play with MMS next

Awesome job man! Keep it rolling. You just made me one more time closer to getting this phone ? Remember to write everything down ?

Root Tool works perfectly fine for me on an Ativ SE with 8.1.1. Unblock RPC by placing the txt file in the Documents folder, unlock your phone with WPPT, deploy the WPSystem unlocker xap, patch Root Tool using the provided instructions and a file explorer (I use Pocket File Manager, I've used others successfully as well), and then once you open the newly-patched Root Tool go to the install xap section, press install (without setting anything up), and it should say failed, but that's fine. Then you can use the included registry editors (the regular one and the Samsung-specific one) with dword and string values. Works fine for me, including interop unlock (but some deploy attempts result in capability errors because of the new security measures). Bootstrap works but not enableallsideloading (including the 2 versions posted later in the thread). All aesthetic changes work perfectly (small font/large screen, 5 action buttons, change model number, accent colors, etc). You can do pretty much anything you can do with an Ativ S, just remember you're slightly stifled by GDR3 and/or 8.1/8.1.1. Let me know if you have any questions or need help. With the small font/5 action button setup and the newest firmware, it's easily the best WP experience currently available. If we can figure out how to rotate the display 180 degrees, we can just enable the navigation bar (which works fine on the SE) and we'll not only have the usb port on top, but we'll also have access to 3 other buttons that can be remapped via the registry.
@tonbonz posted some info regarding using the SE with mbn creator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60152150&postcount=56
I haven't attempted anything with this information yet, but I may later this week (possibly tonight), and I'll be sure to report the results when I do.
I'll be posting any info I get to this thread, so keep an eye on it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/development/research-reference-samsung-ativ-se-sm-t3044123
Also, in regards to the potential issue of new updates breaking exploits, I've found an update lineage that results in the latest OS (8.1.1, OTA) with the stock/GDR3 FW (including the gdr3 diagnosis app, which is different from the 8.1 version). That isn't necessary yet, but it may be in the future and we can always flash back to gdr3 to get there.

Hey G.moe, thanks for the info, so is your MMS & Internet Sharing working with your ATIV SE then?

I managed to get my Internet sharing and MMS working, except I when I recieve an MMS it says file no longer available on server. I think I missed a setting somewhere.
does anyone have any idea where to directly edit the MMS settings in the registry?

That's good to hear man! You're getting there. Your progress is making me a day closer to buying this phone ;D I hope G.Moe can help you out.

GTF696, any luck on the MMS working yet?

Hi. I am using Ativ SE in India, everything is fine but for data i am getting only 2g speeds
I can even launch field test, looks like its blocked
Kindly help me

I just recently purchased an Ativ SE for use on T-Mobile. Like many of you I have been scouring the web for the best solution for the MMS fix as well so it gives me hope to know that through the registry editing it seems you've made some significant headway GTF696. From what I've been coming across this does seem like the most likely way to get this going especially since Verizon has already been duped in this on other devices like the Lumia Icon. Also I've come across a few post that mention having solved the issue and want to know if any one can confirm the method. I'm a new user so I can't post link but if you search "[Q&A] [Research and Reference] Samsung ATIV SE (SM-W750V) – Research and Development Apktop" in google the first link is from someone saying their method on how they setup the registry to workaround the MMS issue. Hope this is actually helpful and useful for all of us and gets us a step closer to fixing this issue

it's not perfect but the ATIV SE, after registration editing, does 100% work on T-Mobile. Unfortunately Verizon had Samsung heavily modify the OS and remove features that allow for APN Modification. The Methods I used should work with any GSM carrier however what you specifically need to do will be carrier specific. If you search for ATIV SE on the forum you should be able to find everything needed. Unfortunately, while the ATIV SE is one of the best windows phones available it's under valued, under supported, and Verizon made it a pain in the ass to use unless it's on their network. I wouldn't recommend this device to anyone, not even Verizon customers, for that reason.
The general idea of what I did was wipe the phone phone, Flashed the original Rom, upgraded the device Over the Air, and then installed the registry editor and customized a few strings. All of which has been talked about in detail on other posts. You HAVE to have an SD card.

Challenge to coders in here (Stolen Phone Location Cab file)

ok here is the challenge, now some of us know the horror of a lost or stolen phone. Who has it? Where is it? Can i track it? Well thats where this challenge comes in. We all know about the extended rom , most people dont think that u can mess with this but actually you can. For those who dont know what the extended rom is, it a file folder that contains all the cab files that are used to restore your pda back to factory preinstalled. Well i know that using some programs you can actually edit or delete files in this folder. What i propose or challenge the coders to see if they can come up with a cab file or program that can be placed into the E.R. so that if someone hard resets the pda, that when it comes back and resets it would set off the cab file to collect information like the phone number of the new sim card the thieves put in the stolen unit, and or any other info that can be used to track this device. to email it or say call you at a certian time. Point is that if you can get the number of the person that has your phone, you can get it traced and at least get the cops to go to the address that the new sim card is registered to.
Wow, I like that idea.
I was actually coding it so that the first thing it would do is execute a full-screen lock and you'd have to enter a preset passcode. The only way to get around anything in the Extended ROM though is by performing a soft-reset during the 3-second pause.
The problem with the current WM5 HTC devices (Wizard, Universal, and Apache) is that they have a digital signature feature enabled by default. So I can't hack the Autorun (even if I could) to bypass the 3-second pause, since that would break the authentication of the digital signature.
I could, however, disable the security on the Wizard and Universal with a digitally-signed CAB file found in the Apache's Extended ROM...
If someone could teach me how to access the SIM, that would be key...
Um, am I missing something or isn't this what IIWPO does (for the WM2003/SE devices anyway)? As soon as someone changes the owner info. and puts in a new SIM, it SMS's you the details - I already have it installed in my ext.ROM.
For the WM2005 devices it might not work but it's currently protecting my XdaII.
can you provide a link for iipwo
no sim
doesnt seem like that program access the sim, it seems that it relys on the new owner to input their information, but how many of us actually do that. i dont for sure. so if the new owner doesnt imput their contact info then there is no way of finding them, where as i propose to make come up with a way to read the sim and get the phone number, that way its definatly going to get them

They don't need to, all it does is compare the existing text (or lack of) with the stored value (your own), then gets any data and sends it. If nothing else you'll get the phone number as part of the SMS. If they DO enter info (and most people I know do, just in case it is returned if lost), then you get that too.
You also get the satisfaction of slowly racking up their bill for them if they are charged for SMS and if they query it and the telco starts to ask questions about where the 'faulty' handset came from or suggests it goes for repair... Gotcha!
wm5
isnt this only for WM 2003? has anyone got this to Work on a WiZard ?
if someone steals/finds a wizard then what are the chances they will know how to or even if you can hard reset it? and the ones "in the know" might just install a new/default rom image overwriting whats on the modified ext rom.
what you need is something that executes on maybe the 2nd or 3rd incorrect pin number entry.
not true
thats not true , u can get a manual at imate to show u how to hard reset. but there is no manual unless u read these kind of forums. most theives are crack heads that just take the phone to see if they can sell it for money. no knoledge of these devices
what i mean is there is no manual to enter the extended rom unless u read these kinda forum, we are fanatics
iiwpo relies on security by obscurity.
It works quite well on Walaby and Himalay.
If put into extROM it will be installed after hard reset as well (but since it is not signed the user wil get the ability to cancel in WM5.
I am planning to test its functionality on WM5 with my new Wizard.
BTW: Anyone allready has a ExtROM editor to bypass the read-only protection in newer ROMs?

"This device is restricted from downloading this file t

My Qtek 9100 with the latest english generic ROM was working fine for months. This morning, I removed the SIM and put it back in. Since then, it won't activesync, I can't drag n drop files to it through Explorer, and when I try to download a CAB file via IE, I now get this error message:
"This device is restricted from downloading this file type."
Any ideas? I don't understand what happened to it! It's like it moved to a very strict secure mode all by itself. It doesn't make any sense!
It seems that my security policies are all whacked up. The device doesn't even see the installed applications in the "Software uninstaller manager" app anymore. I tried rebooting and soft-resetting, no good.
ok guys, in order to fix my problem, I NEED one of you to send me ALL the keys and data info from this registry folder:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Please export that registry for me as a text file and attach it here (or copy/paste it), so I can retype it manually on my Qtek 9100 phone (I can't import anything on my PDA atm as I can't download anything to it, it won't let me).
If none of you do this small favor to me, I am screwed. I would need to hard reset and lose everything (I can't back up anything).
Here Goes...
Ok, I am running the latest "T-mobile custom" ROM, ROM version 2.24.10.1 WWE. I should have no policies enabled... I have typed out all of the keys and values under this in notepad in the format name-value. all values should be DWORD. Hope this helps....

Edit: My phone is a t-mobile MDa, don't think that should matter...
Thank you very much, much appreciated.

Merely changing the security Policies as listed in the .txt did not fix the problem
I have this problem too, I can't even edit the registry so I can't even try to put the policies back again. By the looks of things that won't work anyway.
Anyone got a solution that doesn't involve wiping the phone? Not that I know how to do that anyway. I have an XDA Orbit from O2.
Thanks,
Sapan
Same problem here
I have the same problem (XDA Orbit 2)
Worked fine for the first few days - was able to download CABs etc. Then it just stopped. I've read elsewhere about root certificates. Could this be the problem?

Hello all. I also have a Qtek 9100 for more than 2 years.
Honestly i never had that problem. And i already flashed undreads of ROMs and software to it.
One thing is that i always have Backup Software for any eventuality. Things can always go wrong.
Tips
First - Try to use Resco Registery Editor,its a good Software to make any changes "Delete/Rename/Copy/Add etc,etc.
Second - Look for Its Right,the TNT Master. It will be dificult to find him as he is getting is Engineer Degree. You can also ask Octaivoi,he is a Wizard Master 2.
Third - Keep an exautive search in XDA Devs and eventualy you all will find the answere.
Fourth - Get a Backup Software,get back all the software that cant be recovered. "Eugenia software can always be recovered". And FLASH a new ROM. There are many,many Beautiful and advanced Wizard ROMs arround XDA Dev.
Hope that any of these tips can help
SOLVED!!! ThankS!!!

first had this problem with the empty "remove programs" list 6 months ago, glad to see this whacked-out solution that works!!
Conclusion: Microsoft Windows Mobile messed up the security settings, so let Microsoft Word Mobile put it back automatically, voila!
And ofcourse, I've read about this "fix" soo many times at so many places, and it works for everyone but me >.< I tried all the different ways theres to it, nothing worked. One more thing, shutting it off and THEN pressing soft reset doesn't make sense. Anyway I tried, and it didnt fix. Still got the file deletion/changing restriction. Can't sync, can't get online, download files nothing ... If only Microsoft cared to fix this. Anyone any idea? Dutch phone, Hi provider, rom version: 1.93.404.1 NLD
A Real Fix
Has anyone on this board found A REAL FIX to this problem?
Because I just got my tilt 6 months ago was doing good and now cannot download, cannot stream, cannot play cellular videos, radio.
I have tried the office word solution. That did not work for me!
Is there a Real Solution?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I'm sorry it didn't work on your device. I had the same problem, no sync, no file copy/rename on the device, no cab install, no programs in "add/remove programs" on my Mio A702 thing. The MS Word solution worked smoothely and now I have everything as it should be. So I can confirm the "word thing" actually works . Don't know why it won't do the trick in your case

Google Panel files to replace Vodafone Panel (files attached)

Right here we go
You can download the Google Panel files here in the "Google Panel.zip" file. This Zip contains the files needed for the google panel (including some renamed files to work with the VodafonePanel registry settings).
Download the file, extract it somewhere on your pc.
Make sure your phone isn't on the Vodafone Panel and connect your phone to the pc and open Program Files/Panels/VodafonePanel/
Delete all the files (don't worry, I've uploaded a copy of the original Vodafone Panel files too)
Now copy all the files from the Google Panel you extracted to the phone into the VodafonePanel folder
Disconnect your phone from the pc and press the panel key.
Enjoy the Google Panel
Thanks very much for this mate. I want to get the X1 on vodafone, since its too pricy for me to justify getting it sim free/unbranded. Seeing as you know more about the vodafone version of the phone than I do, would you mind answering these questions I have please?
1- Is it really sim free, as people are claiming it is (what I mean is, can you put another sim in it during the contract period and just use it as if it was a normal sim free phone- while still paying for your contract, of course- due to travelling, I may have to do this a couple of times)?
2- I have heard there is a problem regarding the internet connection on vodafone versions, where it will restrict you from using wifi to connect for some reason. Is this true? If so, is there a way round it? (I specifically plan to only use wifi over here)
3- Other than the google panel being replaced by the vodafone panel, are the rest of the panels the same as on the normal sim free models? (I heard one other one 'The design panel' is missing)
4- If I perform this change to replace the vodafone panel to the google panel, can the google panel then be changed for something else? (ie, will it be locked to the panel UI like the vodafone one was?
Thank you so much

1. It is sim free, I'm using mine with my Tmobile sim
2. I can't get it to use Wifi myself, but there are others on here who have.
3. I don't have the design panel on my vodafone branded X1, but it appears the rest of the panels are standard and unbranded.
4. The vodafone panel can be unlocked by changing the key HKLM/Software/SonyEricsson/PanelManager/Panels/Vodafone Panel/Locked to 0.
Hope this helps
'I can't get it to use Wifi myself, but there are others on here who have.' -At all!!!???
One more thing then: if the phone is vodafone branded, what happens as regards firmware updates?
Cheers
I can use wifi for opera etc, but email and messenger want to use the vodafone gprs or 3g.
It has Windows Update so I assume that is where any updates will come from
I've got a vodafone one with an O2 sim in it, so like Hutchy says, it's definitely sim unlocked.
I've connected to my exchange server via wifi fine, although I haven't tried it with any other accounts.
Realistically firmware (ROM) updates will be done manually by you after OliNex and co have created a HardSPL to allow us to flash without bricking our phones. If Vodafone are anything like O2, they will only release an updated ROM once a year, about 6 months after HTC have released it.

windows update is not used as far as i know - its quite redundant. ive never received an update on it for the years i have used these phones! If it plays out like it does with other HTC phones, which i assume it will, then the new firmware will come from Sony Ericsson for unbranded, but for the network operator phones, it will come from the networks, so Vodafone will get it, play with it and then release it, if they ever do!

By the time vodafone release an update HardSPL will be working
Sweet thanks for this hutchy69
Anyone else have any issue with multiple words? When I search using two keywords, it only passes the first one to Google in Opera.
Does anyone have the google panel cab so I am able to install it???
Cheers
I tried using this to install over the O2 panel, but it now says 'No Screen Shot' on the panels screen which is less than ideal! Other than that it works fine... Any way to fix this?
Anyone? I can't be the only one who has this.
I tried copying the google panel file to the o2 one but it won't let me, how do you copy them across in the first place?
If any kind soul wants to do a walk through for 02 I too would be most grateful!

Just a normal file copy using the USB cable worked for me... Well, apart from the Panel image not showing up.
Is anyone else getting the 'No Screen Shot' image?
Funny, I thought the panels were supposed to be miniturised 'live' previews of the panel application not static images. I'm surprised there isn't even a way to refresh the image it displays.
Okay, I managed to fix the preview not showing up... I'll post it here in case anyone else gets the same problem;
To replace the O2 panel with the Google Panel, first follow the instructions in the first post. Then you need to edit the registry:
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\Panels\O2 Panel
Edit the following keys:
Landscape to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\l_bh.bmp'
LargeLandscape to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\l_b.bmp'
LargePortrait to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\p_b.bmp'
Portrait to '\Program Files\Panels\O2 Panel\p_bh.bmp'
Hope it helps someone.
Is it possible to use the google panel and the vodafone panel?
I thried to copy the old VodafonaPanel Files in a new folder called TestPanel haha
But it doesnt work.
Somebody who' nows how to use both of them?
Best Regards Alcje
Sorry doubble post

[noob] Images problem

I know it's something simple, but I have wizard for 4 days now and I really don't know what's going on (and i didn't find it here or in google, 4h of searching is enough)
so:
Images & Videos icon in Programs menu doesn't work. It just refreshes the screen nothing else.
What's more - in contact menu (contact -> menu -> edit) there is "choose image" and when i click it, it doesn't work as well.
Explorer opens my images with s2v.
It's Windows Mobile 5, previous owner changed its language and maybe did something wrong, i think i must install something or change smtg in registry ?
give me hints, i must have contacts' pictures
52 viewers and no reply to you either. Funny eh? I have not received my Wizard yet, so I don't have the ability to replicate or diagnose your problem. However, I do know that reflashing my device always seemed to help when I had a problem such as this.
Search for your original ROM and reflash it. That might take care of te problem. Maybe after, if that works, upgrade to 6.0 or beyond.
According to UPS Tracking, I should receive my device tommorrow and will be able to help better. It has left MN, hit IN and Kentucky on it's way to SC, so apparently on time. woo hoo.
Sorry not much help today.
Hi, I was thinking about reflashing my phone, but I'm waiting for full Embedded Linux or other linux support (I've read that they're working on it).
But I found smtg interesting, concerning my problem:
Images & Videos still doesn't work - and nothing but reflashing will do propably (propably, probably jeez this language is odd ),
but!
s2v has an option to assign viewed picture to contact and it works pretty well, i can see photos in contact list, WisBar Advance Desktop and when I'm calling.
so I change my question into:
What is the name of default image viewer in windows mobile 5? Isn't it Internet Explorer lol?

It's still a long ways off from being fully functional though.
all right, i've upgraded my phone to WM6, it runs and boots a lot faster and of course i've got no problems with images anymore
so it was basically something deleted or changed in my previous WM, topic can be closed now.

[Q] Requesting help with HTC HD2 WinMo7 on TMO network

I have looked but I haven't found what I'm looking for. I was able to successfully install WinMo7 on my HD2, but I didn't have the data capabilities outside of a WIFI hotspot. Is there APN info that I have to input into the phone? Do I have to change my data package? I liked WinMo7, but I had to downgrade back to 6.5 just to get my data package working. Can anyone either help or point me in the right direction?

Firstly, its not Windows Mobile, Its Windows Phone.
Second, You didnt downgrade to 6.5, You just installed a different OS. Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 are 2 completley different OS's from ground up.
Third, Sorry cant help. It just works out of box for me. Your carrier should automatically give the phone its APN settings.

I had that problem initially as well. Then I found the HTC Connection Setup tool in the apps list (it was already preinstalled/cooked-in). Just run that tool and it will make the changes needed for data to work.

Oh cool!!! Where did you go to get your ROM? Can you get me the link? I would really appreciate it.
no data for me too on t-mobile network
I am also having the same problem, that is I have installed at least 4 different WP7 roms and with all of them I get no data or mms messages to work. I have used the HTC connection on all of the roms and still no success. I have ICS on the sd card and I get data and mms messages with ICS, so it has to be something in the roms or radios (software or hardware) or something else that I am missing. If someone knows the answer please help us. I have been working on this for about 2 weeks now. Thanks in adance.
I am using the HTC HD2 Leo, euro, not HTC Tmous.

any of the wp7 roms work out of the box. apparently you found a rom to flash to begin with. htc connection setup is on the htc marketplace.
i suggest reading up on windows phone so you know what you're asking and doing.
