How to find Your Mobile's DeviceID Without Entering Registry - XPERIA X10 General

I have not found about this.So, i thought i should make a post here about how to find your Device ID without searching in Registry.
There are a few steps only & they are idiot proof.The regular method posted in the official & some other threads can give you more than one DeviceID for your Phone if you have plugged the Phone in different USB Ports.
Even searching in Registry can give you more than one DeviceID if you used multiple USB Ports.So, in that case you will need to know which is the correct deviceID for your model & this does not involve searching in Registry.
1) Install SEUS ( Sony Ericsson Update Service ) from the official website.
2) Install the Update Software while your phone is connected to your machine.After installing the Software , Disconnect your Phone from your Computer & start the Update application & follow the prompts.
3) Put your phone in Flash Mode.
4) A Green light will turn on while your phone is off if you have done it properly which is shown on the above picture.
5) Now press your Keyboard's Windows & Pause Break buttons at the same time.And go to Device Manager.
6) Expand the " Universal Serial Bus Controllers " & Click on " SEMC Flash Device " .
7) Now from the SEMC Flash device window, scroll through the value of " Device Instance ID " .
8) There you will get your DeviceID.Just highlight & Ctrl+C & Paste it in a Notepad.As you know the last parts are your DeviceID.
In this way you will not search into registry & you will get the correct DeviceID every time you connect your Phone to your machine in the Flash Mode.
Thank You.

ode 402: Cannot communicate with device fix

Since the day I bought my iPaq 614 I wanted to update it to the newest version, but every time the HP RUU would return a "Code 402: can not communicate with device". I've searched for hours to fix this problem only to find out tips like 'disable your firewall and A/V' and 'don't use Vista'. But today I found the solution:
Normally, Active Sync acts as a DHCP server for your Windows Mobile device, but this doesn't work if Windows Mobile isn't running which is the case when you're flashing a new ROM. In this case, the Internet Connection Sharing service should deal with assigning the right addresses, but since I normally don't use ICS, I had this service disabled.
Because of this, no addresses where assigned and no communication path could be set up between my computer and my iPaq. Simply be re-enabling this service (and the dhcp client service, don't know if you really need it, but I enabled it just to be sure) I fixed the annoying code 402 error
Hope this information is helpful because it looks like I'm the first one to discover this solution
//edit: damn, can a mod change add a 'C' to this post's title
i got a code 402 while updating RUU_1.8.0_081208_MP_M089_WWE (radio fm 0.89) now i am stuck withthe HP blue screen.
If your 614c dies during radio update, please have a look here.
solved !!!
Found post on HP forum.
OKâ ¦unfortunately previous note wasnâ t so accurate.
Iâ ve tried this solution once again and it doesn't work properly.
Iâ ve spend much time reading many articules on pocket/mobile forums and I found 2 workaround methods to upgrade our iPAQs.
Starting from the beginning.
We have to download ROM from HP Support site (in *.exe format) and executed it to unpack all files (as Iâ ve already written in C:/iPAQ ).
Among many files that we have, find FLASH.NBF file and edit it using HEX-editor (i.e. xvi32). When we display the context of a file, we have to delete first 3432 bytes (in xvi32 editor - XVIscript > Editorâ ¦ > type command DEL 3432 and press Execute â then close the editor without saving and then save file on HDD as FLASH.DIO). When we create FLASH.DIO file we have to decide which method weâ ll use.
1. METHOD is:
Just copy FLASH.DIO file on empty microSD card. Put inside of our device and turn it on in SDLoader mode (VOICE UP + OK + RESET). Important thing is to fully charge the battery of the device.
2. METHOD is:
We change the type of FLASH.DIO to FLASH.nb0 â just rename.
We have to search network for DNW app and execute it. Firstly in Configuration tab select Option and change connection type from 0xc000000 to 0x3000000 (USB). Secondly turn on our device in DOWNLOAD IMAGE mode (VOICE DOWN + OK + RESET) and connect it to PC. In SEC folder (subfolder of DNW) we can find drivers that we have to install after connecting iPAQ. When weâ ve covered everything, we select USB Port > UBOOT > and select our FLASH.nb0 file.
For me worked first method!

Unlocking your phone and sync apps...it works!!!!

Ok guys...This is what i did to Unlock succesfully my WP7-HD2 using Chevron..
These are the steps i made and it worked just fine and i deployed my apps succesfully on my device:
0.5)Type regedit in start/Run and find this key...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone \ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
I personally deleted this key and remade it... It's a 32 bit Dword value..Right click, New, Dword value... add this in Data Value -> 69C5
and press ok! Rename the file to "DeviceReg" without the quotes.
1) Open Notepad with Administrative rights using right click and open as Administrator. Go to FILE/OPEN and paste this on the search bar
i.For Windows NT and Windows 2000
a.C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
AND
ii.Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7
a.C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
2)Double click Hosts file...
It should open in Notepad..
3)At the end of the page you will see 192.168.10.1 Windows Phone (or something like that)...Remove this and save the file by pressing FILE/SAVE..
It should be saved just fine..
4)Plug your phone to usb and go to device manager..
Uninstall: Windows Phone usb from there and unplug the phone..
5)Restart the computer.........
6)Make sure you have Windows Updates enabled... When you plug the phone in Windows should say that usb device doesn't work and you need to isntall the drivers... Press Install and wait....
7)Drivers should be installed from Microsoft...Now go to Zune and sync the device...
8)Make sure you isntall the Cetification to your device via email!
Open Chevron, check both boxes and press Unlock...You are done...
9)Open Market place from PC and download something....Check the 3 boxes and Press deploy..It should now say "connecting with phone" and after that "sending file"
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Results may vary but it worked for me!
Special thanks to member "eried" for his time yesterday!
Can't get past 8.
Chevron can't connect: Oh oh message. Before Chevron did start but could not connect while trying to unlock again.
Even now the phone is off flight mode, zune is telling that the phone has no internet while the phone have internet.
Had everything working but after update to 7004 by zune nothing is working anymore. Tried everything i read and have much experience with modding devices.
As i told the results may very...
I also know about modding devices since my Sony Ericsson W800 and all Sony devices i owned after it and Iphone which i sold before 4 months to get my HD2...
Anw...I had strange problems with Chevron... I unlocked it like 4 times and after that it says can't connect with my device.. Also Market places didn't work in the first place... Now with this guide i made i succesfully unlocked my device and deployed 5 apps already on my phone..
And also try this on your pc:
Type regedit in start/Run and find this key... [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone \ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
I personally deleted this key and remade it... It's a 32 bit Dword value..Right click, New, Dword value... add this in Data Value -> 69C5
and press ok! Rename the file to "DeviceReg" without the quotes.
When you are done with this try again the guide from the begining!
ok, thanks for your help, had the registerkey already checked, did your workaround again but stuck by 8. Chevron Oops...
Thanks anyway

[Q] Stuck Upgrading

hi i am trying to upgrade my Typhoon to 6.1 but i haver got to the point in the upgrading process in which i need to restart and press 0 for the IU the only issue is i do not recive this message and i cannot get any further.
Edit: my SPL is 2.05.0130
you must go to the patched SPL 1.09 for Typhoon befor you go any further.
yes it is true said tobbie, with 1.09 SPL you can flash any rom like WM6.1 or WM6.5 on your Typhoon
for SPL 1:09 Can you get HERE
oh well ive tried poatching the spl before but i just recive errorr 260 or 240 and i cannont make no progress i have tried using a different computer but to no avail
oh well... if the device is still original, then you must follow a sequence of actions to allow such upgrade.
These should be mentioned in any custom rom thread. Essentially you must get the SPL 1.09 on the device then you can load any custom ROM.
1. application unlock the old OS
2. CID unlock the device with lokiwiz toolset
3. load SPL 1.09
4. load custom ROM
good luck!
I belive i have already application unlocked and supercided it with lokiwiz toolset but i have peforemd a hard reset due to that connection issue, would that haver affected it in anyway? thanks
If you are back the old WM2k3 and you cannot upgrade the SPL, then lokiwiz probably has not super-CID your device. To check, connect your device in Bootloader mode to mtty (with AS having USB disabled) and enter "info 1" (no quotes) then try "info 2" (no quotes) and report both results.
Not sure about above myself as I have no device at hand today to check right now.
Hard reset does not affect the CID or SIM Unlock - these are stored in the encrpyted area of the ROM (64kb Block) that is not affected by Hard-Rest or OS-flashing.
sorry for my noobiness but it will not show in mtty i have tried the usb drivers? but the phone does not show in mtty
You must make sure that Active Sync (Windows XP) or Mobile Device Center is not using the USB port to connect the device. You can disable the use in Active Sync selecting the "Connections" menu and then disabling there.
Reconnect the device and restart mtty. The USB button will be there only if the USB connection is accessible and the device is connected to the USB port.
sorry for the bump but ive came back to my phone and i am having so my trouble superCIDin the phone i have done everything by the book, ive hard reset the phone and tried everything again and now SDA unclokder says "phone is not unlockable" and the lokiwiz.bat will not super cid it.
Look at mediafire in my kitchen folder here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3tt15dyp4mbuu
the "...one time per device" ZIP has all tools inside. There is another (on board application unlock) that will do the trick. It installs a tool on the device, execute it there first and then start SDA Unlock. No need to reboot as the changed security policies are active immediately.
i downloaded your kitchen and i ran the htcunlock the the sda unlocker still says the phone is unlockable
So these Orange devices are quite resistant to application unlock. Did you notice that the HTC Unlocker kind of "remote controls" a registry editor? It may be that the changes did not really go through.
It is quite complicated and a lot of trial and error what you will have to do and I cannot advise in detail as I have no such device.
Key is that the application that changes the policy on the device is permitted to do so. Usually as well SDA Unlocker (remotely via the RAPI Policy) or the signed Registry editor controlled via HTC Unlocker can do that. It all goes to the registry keys in HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies where the relevant policy IDs have to assigned the right values (role permissions). You can use the free CE-Command (from ghisler.com) which has a registry tool built in or the same registry editor that HTC Unlcok controls to check if the values that the tools try to write are really written or not. I suspect they are simply NOT written. If you cannot find a tool that can change the policy, then there is another way around this:
The Gold Card method. Get the trial version of "revskills" from www.revskills.com and create a gold card with the device for the "Typhoon". With this card in the device, the SPL will allow ANY (also non Orange) signed ROM to be loaded. Use any non Orange shipped ROM for the Typhoon and load it to the device. This OS should allow to change the application lock and also allow the further steps.
Mind that ROMs for the Feeler or Amadeus have different key-handling (especially for the joystick) - so best you get also a Typhoon ROM for that exercise.
I think in the Tornado Forum was once a description how to unlock a Cingular 2125, possibly similar actions may allow you the first step. Not sure here though.
thanks for your help i beelive that your tool changes the registrey values correctly im nnot sure about this i have tried running it a few times but with the same results
Just to reassure that: Your device is not CID unlocked yet after all the trials you did? What does the SPL tell when you enter "info 2" in mtty connected?
Do you know how to work with a PC registry editor and to connect with the device? There are several that can do that, e.g. "Registry Workshop" or "Smartione" or "CE Regeditor". All these can connect to the device via Active Sync and read out the HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies branch.
Could you just post the export of that branch here?
You can also do that on board the device with CECmd, get into virtual two window mode, on one side go to the branch above (exactly, on top of the second "\Policies"), on the other in any file-directory, can also be root. Then on the registry side press "5" for copy and confirm to copy the "\Policies" branch to the other side. You get a text file called "policies.reg" - attach or post it here.
Finally you could search for the Microsoft tool "security configuration manager". This allows to select the security model "Security off" - once applied to the device the lokiwiz should run with success.
