How to unlock Samsung Galaxy S II? This is a question that won’t ask by me? All the Malaysia phones are factory unlocked by default. However, some of you might not be as lucky as me. You might need an unlock tool for your Samsung Galaxy S2. And here you are ~ Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock App for those locked SGS2. Personally, I did not test it. So you need to try it out yourself. Note – root access is required.
I still don’t have Windows Phone 7 activation code from Microsoft until now (failed to get it when WP7 launched on HTC HD2, and don’t bother to get it now too). Therefore, I cannot access to Windows Marketplace officially. However, that does not stop me from testing WP7 applications because I can unlock / jailbreak WP7 and sideload apps into it. I tested on Windows Phone 7.5 build 7720 XBmod-Yuki ROM and manage to install custom applications with Multiple Xap Installer and Tom XAP Installer. Not sure this will work on other native WP7 phones or not. Try it out if you want…
Prerequisites
Can’t detect your SD card at PC after installed Windows Phone 7? Windows Phone 7 build 7004 XBmod-Yuki ROM v2 will encrypt SD card and make it like a real WP7 phone. Therefore, your SD card is locked. And can’t be detected at all. How to unlock and revive SD card after install Windows Phone 7? You need to install StorageLock in WP7. Then use it to unlock the SD card. Or lock it if you want. After unlocked, you will see 2 partitions on your SD card. You may delete both of them and create FAT32 file type partition so that you can use the SD card again on PC, Android or Windows Mobile. Just follow below step by step guide to do so…
Note – only perform these tasks when you don’t want to use WP7 anymore. Or want to dual boot WP7 and Android (note – just unlock and don’t delete any partition). Else just skip these…
Prerequisites
If Tom XAP Installer is not your cup of tea, here is another one for you ~ Multiple Xap Installer. It allows you to select multiple XAP files and deploy them to your phone or emulator. Besides, it includes XAP signing which required by downloaded XAP from Marketplace. Enable it at Settings when needed.
XAP Installer is a must installed application for Windows Phone 7 HTC HD2 users like me that cannot get activation code from Microsoft. However, installing XAP application one by one is a painful task. Luckily, with Tom XAP Installer v1.2, we can select multiple XAPs and install them with 1 single click. Perfect to use after installing new WP7 ROM.
