The cert I have stored in my \provxml folder and it´s still there...
Ok. Thanks a lot for testing. I will mail you some provxml's that you can try to get it working, maybe...

I'm already on Mango (Beta 2, omnia 7)
It's possible to move Heathcliff74.cer with "DiagProvXML" directly from Mango?
Hi all!
I just figured out how to run native DLL's in a Silverlight App on MANGO. This is a major breakthrough! This means that I will be able to port all code and exploits that I got so far to Mango.
A little while ago I announced that the next version of WP7 Root Tools would have support for HTC and LG too (Samsung was supported from the beginning). I found all the necessary exploits for that and I was busy putting the puzzle together. But on the side, I've also been working on Mango. And it started to frustrate me more and more, that native homebrew code was not possible on Mango, because everyone is migrating to Mango and our tools would become unusable. Unacceptable!!
These are the pieces of the puzzle I got now:
- Support for Mango (running native DLL's)
- Full Root Access to all resources and API's with possibility to enable/disable per app (also bringing huge performance improvements)
- Support for HTC and LG
- Building an SDK for other developers
I have to be a little bit reticent! I am making these announcements because I've done a lot of research in finding all the pieces of the puzzle. And in theory they will all fit together. But I have to do more work to make a complete tool of it all. I can only be real sure that everything works, when I got it all finished.
Having said that, I will start with piece number 1 by releasing a version for Mango asap. It will be exactly the same as the previous version, but now also supporting Mango. I know I promised HTC and LG support in the next version, but releasing a version for Mango is easier for me now, so that will come first. Sorry to HTC and LG users. Just a little more patience please.
Shortly after, I will release a version with pieces 2 and 3. HTC, LG and Full Root Access per app.
And shortly after that, I will release piece number 4; the SDK.
Ciao,

This is awesome, thank you for your work!
Will we need a full unlock for it in Mango or is the Dev Unlock sufficient?
This is FANTASTIC news! Way to make serious breakthroughs, man!
Just a few questions about the Mango support:
A) Does it require doing anything in NoDo, or will it work on phones that ship with Mango?
B) Can it be used on any native DLL? For example, could it be used with the screen capture program?
C) Can it be combiled with your per-app full root access to make (for example) a fully cross-platform registry browser that doesn't need device-specific DLLs?
D) Will you share the technique you use for it? I understand your reasoning for not wanting to share the "gain root" exploit technique, but I'm always hopeful.
Anyhow, this is awesome! Can't wait to use Wp7 Root Tools on my HTC phone running 7720!!
Wow! I've been following this thread since the first release and it's just wonderful to see how fast things go on Heathcliff74, in my opinion you're one of the best programmers i've ever seen! This would be the first common registry editor.. (by 'common' i mean: working on all devices )
This will make things much easier.. can't wait for it to be released!
Hi,
I did more testing. I got WP7 Root Tools running now on my Samsung Omnia 7 with Mango RTM. Wonderful! I have to finish up some things and I think I'll be able to release version 0.6 tomorrow.
Nope, I have my own Full Root Access And you don't even need to flash anything! Cotulla also has exploits to run native executables. This will not be possible with my WP7 Root Tools. Though I'm pretty sure that I have the exploits to do that now too. I just haven't tested it yet. I may try this later on.
A) Will work with shipped Mango!
B) It will probably work on (almost) any dll, but the chance is that it need to be recompiled. I will post guides on how to do it. I can't guarantee things, because I know for a fact that Microsoft has removed some API's in Mango that were present on NoDo. But as fas as I can see, all the good stuff is still there
C) Let me explain. First WP7 Root Tools needs to get Full Root Access. Then WP7 Root Tools will be able to provide Full Root Access for other apps. These apps don't need any device-specific DLL's at all. Once your app is provided with Full Root Access, you can use any native or managed API you want. For native DLL's you will need to follow the guide I will write later on. You can also use the SDK I will create later, but that is just to make it easier. Using the SDK is mandatory. BUT... For WP7 Root Tools to get Full Root Access I still need device-specific exploits. As of now I have the necessary exploits for Samsung, HTC and LG. So your app will only work on these devices. Because the users will need to install WP7 Root Tools to give your app Full Root Access.
D) I will share my technique in the form of the WP7 Root Tools and the SDK. The real magic underneath will be my trade-secret.
Thanks for the compliment. It will be almost common. As I explain in the my response to GoodDayToDie there is still some need of device-specific exploits. And I have these exploits for Samsung, HTC and LG now. Later on I may try to find exploits for Dell, Asus, etc.
