anyone need to install a self-signed cert on their dash AKA excalibur?? - HTC Excalibur

I found a way to install my self-signed cert.. just drop me a post on this thread and I will post instructions.. very easy to do.

I have been trying to add a self signed cert, and I keep getting the error that the phone is locked. The cert worked fine on my wizard. I cant figure out what the problem is, can you help me out.

would also like to know how to, please ! but mine would be on my universal

it's pretty simple:
1. download the program file called VZW_SpAddCert.exe from Microsoft. It is designed to work with smartphones made by Verizon Wireless but I have discovered that it works with most all 2003 and WM5 smartphones.
2. copy the program and your .cer file to the root of the smartphone.
3. go to File Explorer on the device and run the VZW_SpAddCert.exe application. It may ask for your permission to run, click YES. It may come back and say no certificate files found. The application will exit. Next, still in file explorer, click on your .cer file and it will ask if you want to install the certificate, click YES. Done!
Link to download VZW_SpAddCert.exe: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EE-4654-480C-876D-442AED8F47AE&displaylang=en

Just wondering was is the main reason for adding a self signed certificate on the phone?

If you have WM6.1 then copy the certs anc click on those (via any file browser).

It is one of our end users phone and it is running Win Mobile 5 and to make matters worse it is on verizon with the Moto Q

I'm waiting for an explanation 'cause nothing I've done on my dash has ever told me that I needed a signed certificate for it to work.

ya i think it depends on your S62X, my Microsoft labled HTC S621 isnt locked like my old S621 from rogers, everything was locked needed mad app hack installs, this S621 that was won from a Microsoft conference is golden handles 288 with no probs, kinda sweet haven a Microsoft icon above the screen instead of a HTC icon but i dont get any locks, but we still dont know what this is, ?

Application unlock problem - HTC S621 from Rogers

Hi,
I have the HTC S621 from Rogers in Canada. I tried to install Route66 Navigator 7 and it sayed that it couldn't modify some registery keys, so i tried to application unlock my s621 and with all the fixes and utility on the web nothing worked.
Is there a way to application unlock the S621 from rogers?
I don't need to fully unlock the phone, just application unlock would do for me.
thanks for your help and time.
Unfortunately you have to unlock your phone (CID,SIM) before the app unlock will work. I had the same issue and did not find any workaround... On the other hand, if you're going to fully unlock your phone, may I suggest flashing to an S620... To provent further issues. Read the step by step in the forums on how to complete your flash first or else you get a Euro keypad.
HTC S620 ROM : http://rapidshare.com/users/7UE30C
That makes three of us.
I did the same thing.
Paid for the unlock, then i was able to app unlock the phone.
Well i guess that i will have to do that then.
But putting the original HTC S620 WM5 or WM6 on my HTC will it improve speed? functionnalities? Or just make it possible to install any application and put in any SIM card that i want??
I just don't want to pay again, and get so little improvement.
Executing Programs...
How do you execute the unlocker? Install on sd card then run app from pc? Or run from phone? How about the new rom? Not very clear on how to run these programs with active sync. First smartphone
MY question is... if I pay for the app unlock, and then install a ROM (say the T-Mobile WM6 beta or something of the sort) if that ROM has the locks in place again, do I have to pay AGAIN to re-unlock my phone apps?
Because that would really suck.

run the unlocker staright from your pc when your phone is plugged in and after it syncs. you dont need to put anything on the sd card at all. on your phone you will be asked if you want to install, hit yes, etc. same as running an install from your phone after that..

app unlock is free, CID/sim unlock is what costs money. you wouldn't have to pay to CID/sim unlock your phone it still will be. plus you have the unlocker already anyways. and you wouldn't pay for the app unlock cause it's free anyways.
never mind.. just read it over and everything made sense..
BTW, Could I get the phone unlocked from my provider? Do they just need to give me an unlock code or something? Or is the best bet getting it unlocked by a 3rd party?
NOTORIOUS VR said:
The problem is I can't application unlock my phone for some reason... just like the OP if I run it (even using u'r instructions above) it doesn't work. It gives me the error message Phone is not unlockable
I've tried doing it manually through the Registry as well... but I get an access denied error message when trying to store the values.
Is there any other way to get around this? It's really annoying that I can't install certain things.

I was only telling you what you're going to be paying for, sounded like you said you were going to pay for app unlock...
MY question is... if I pay for the app unlock,
is what you said. I wasn't trying to solve the problem, cause I've never hit that problem.

If you use the signed registry editor from HTC you could have app unlocked.
See here:

Thats the proper way to do it.

It's cool.
And I think if they would just unlock it for you it would go against the reason they put the lock on it, to keep you with them. So I believe only 3rd party is the only way.

Aye it does. If it doesnt let you copy the exe on you need to copy the zip on and unzip the exe on your phone using an unzip utility.

That won't work because it needs RAPI to be activated. You definately need to use the HTC registry editor I mentioned, that will def work. Post what your actual problem with that method is.

Where could i get a good ROM to install on my new unlock S621 ?
or the question is, wich ROM do i use ?
I still want the phone to be usable.
Is there a way to backup my current ROM in case a problem happens ?
Thanks.

RAPI is remote api, which is something that you execute from the comp when the phone is connected - i.e. why its called remote.
RAPI is disabled on most operator's branded phones, hence why your file doesn't work on the Rogers one. You need to unlock using the HTC registry editor i mentioned by running it on your phone.

I can't install any programs into HTC Touch?

Can someone help me? Is there a installer or instructions to do it? Thanks in advance.
if you cant use cab installs or install using activesync
your device maybe cid locked you can prob find info about uncid locking it in wiki or in elf forum

I'm having problem with the cab file. Thanks for your help.
Lets have a little more info please:
What precisely do you do to install a cab file?
Do you copy it to your device and click on it in file explorer?
What error message are you getting?
Does this happen with all kinds of different cab files or some specific ones?
If it is certain cabs tell us where you got it from and what it is for.
Also if you purchased your Touch from a cell-co it may be application locked.
You should check the Touch forum and the WiKi for unlocking procedure.
P.S. This is not CID lock. That would be irrelevant to 3rd party software only to changing ROM.
I'm new to this phone. How can I install it into my Touch? I'm lost on the installation.
B the way, If it's locked, how can I unlock it? Unlock SIM?
Thanks in advance.

[HOW-TO] Updating to Mango Beta without Dev Unlock

Simply follow the instructions included with the PDF, but instead of running MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe, run this file.
Everything else is exactly the same. No need to run MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe aftewards.
No dev unlock required, no Zune check, no WP Dev SDK check.
Thanks to ne0cr0n for the idea!

You still have to follow the rest of the steps. One of the steps is to run the appropriate version of MangoB2-UpdateWP-....exe! That puts the UpdateWP.exe file in the right location (Zune folder in Program Files)

I got the Mango Beta update invitation and I downloaded it and installed it the thing is my account is not fully activated so I can not unlock it officially. When I updated the device to the Mango Beta I lost my Chevron unlock... So its kind of problem... You will not be able to sideload apps with out a fully activated dev account... I know that Chevron labs is coming out soon but we shouldnt have to pay for something like this... Does anyone know what I/everyone else can do so we can sideload apps without having to use the official MS way or the Chevron labs way?
It works!
FIrst it install build 7401 and then upgrade to 7661.

One warning I will say, make sure you SAVE the backup it makes, there is no upgrade path from Beta Mango to RTM. You need to revert to the backup before an upgrade path to Mango RTM.

I suspect we're going to see a lot of kids crying, because they didn't read the documentation.
Mhhh,
I just played to get the Betaupdate. I think infact of the chevronwp7 I got an error while updating to Mango.
Anybody else in this club?

OP, what PDF are you talking about? There's only 1 file in the "provision.zip" zip file.

i think he is talking about the pdf contained in the downloadpackage for developers.
there are 4 parts
update documentation
zune prerelease
zune update
and the MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe
you have to install the zune client and update. afterwards you can use the cracked MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe to bring mango on your phone.

what happened to him? bricked? or UpdateWP refuses to update? i think it should work, because we're only targeting 4.5 cab when downgrading to nodo & re-upgrading to mango, so, if we can have the cab, why should we revert to nodo? just waste of time
no, this method doesn't need chevron unlock, because, it's all official cab

Is there a way to unlock a SAMSUNG ATIV SE running WIndows 10 mobile 10.0.10563.297

The reason I am asking is I am trying to get the SAMSUNG ATIV SE to the current version that I am running on my ICON 10.0.15254.527. I am trying to see if staying with the ICON is the way to go. I am running into the error 0x80070273 when trying to update to the next version of windows 10 mobile. I saw where the apparent problem is with the OEMInput.xml file and saw on another thread that replacing it with the supplied code in that thread should get you past the update error. I have installed Interop tool app version: 2.0.79.0 on the SAMSUNG and have turned on the Restore NDTKSvc to access the files through my USB on my desktop. I can see the file on my phone thought windows explorer on my desktop but I can't remove or replace the file. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I am guessing that what I am trying just won't work, but I thought I would ask some people that are smarter than me. Again thanks for the help in advance...
This updating thing is getting old... Just spoof the device to a supported one and voila. Change the devicetargetinginfo to a microsoft lumia with similar specs as yours and done.
That won't get you past the error that I mentioned in the original post
@malacarr1962
You are trying to edit a file in a directory other than Public? Then yes you need to interop unlock the Ativ SE.
To unlock the Ativ SE on W10M, you need to make sure you followed all the steps on guss33000 thread for his IT app. The section of focus is "For all other OEM devices". What steps have you completed already?

Well, I have already installed the Interop Tools 2.0.96.0. As far as the Interop Unlock, all the options are set to off (if I try to move one of them from you can slide it over which assumably would turn the option on, but as soon as you release it the switches moves back to its' original location. SO if I have missed something and you could tell me where I need to go to follow the instructions, that would be appreciated. If I need to hard rest or start back at 8.1 and go from there that is ok too...
Please go read the Interop Tools thread here
If you still can't figure it out you're better off posting your questions in there.
