Thanks, that worked.

After I get the message 'unlock your Windows Phone screen to continue" I am told my phone is ignoring the program. After closing the window, rebooting the phone and trying again I recieve the same error.
[Windows Phone 7 General] squ3lch:
Still not working even with these files. 32 bit Win7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stylopath:
I had the same problem a few minutes ago and it seems like i could work around it:

Open labs.chevronwp7.com in Internet Explorer (!!!)

Click on the download link -> it will now attempt to download a file named

chevronlabs.unlock.4

Rename the file so that it's extension is ".exe"

Start the Application

- Now i get another error, telling me that i should install the windows phone support tool (v2) - shouldn't be much of a problem ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] squ3lch:
This cleared up the missing file error, but I am now receiving the missing support tool error. I have the support tool installed, so I'm not sure what's going on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stylopath:
In my case, reinstalling the support tool helped.

Anyway, now i'm stuck with the "your phone is ignoring us"-error.

Rebooting the phone, rebooting the pc, diabling password for screen, disabling wlan, disabling network didn't help - fubar.

Seems like i have to wait until these problems (that seem to appear on samsung phones in the first place) are resolved my MS/Chevron.
[Windows Phone 7 General] s4cr3d:
Now site is down there goes my token and no reply on the missing dependency issues. At least tell us you are working on it.we will give u time if we know there are issues :(

Sorry, we tweeted this. Hopefully within the hour.

ChevronWP7: We have identified and are resolving "support tool" and "phone ignoring us" issues right now. Hope to get a fix out very quickly. ^LZ

Cool I give a day or two at least I know it is not my side of the problem. That's all I want to know . :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] stylopath:
That's great news! (meaning that you identified these issues).
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
Sorry for the problems everyone has experienced. We've identified the cause of the two most common problems "Windows Phone Support Tool not found" and the "Your phone is ignoring us" error.

We've deployed a new client that has some fixes in place. It is version 0.5.0.0. Please download it from the website.

Again, we're sorry for the problems and hope you will have better luck with this new version.

i had hit the download link once before buying the token after right clicking and and selecting open in a new tab. could this have something to do with the error we are getting? and after buying the token ii had seen a window open in the background which was asking to save or run the file. i had selected save but no file was saved. now when i click the download link i m getting the same error as shown in picture by you.

or my country, india, has anything to do with?

[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
Are you running v0.5.0.0 of the unlock client?

If so, can you please find WPSupportTools.exe in your Program Files\Zune directory and tell me the version number?
[Windows Phone 7 General] unoss:
Hi bro ;) Yap jus try the latest v0.5.0.0 unlock client. Its given a same problem as pic i upload.

My pc is using 4.8.2345.0 version of WPSupportTool.exe. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
Can you confirm these files exist in the Zune directory

Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DeviceUpdate.dll

Interop.WM7UpdateLib.dll

Interop.ZuneWmduLib.dll
[Windows Phone 7 General] unoss:
Yap. three of them is assist in my "Program Files\Zune".

but i wonder that my windows 7 pc got two(2) program file, which one is "Program Files\Zune" and another is "Program Files (x86)\Zune".

and my zune software was install in "Program Files (x86)\Zune",

That WPsupporttool.exe els is in "Program Files\Zune".
[Windows Phone 7 General] Rare Earth:
Thanks for your help earlier, LZ.

I am now unlocked and have the battery status app installed!
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
That would be why, this shouldn't be possible. If you have time, can you try uninstall Zune and reinstall it using the latest from the website?
[Windows Phone 7 General] unoss:
Sure. that means i download latest Zune from ***zune.c0m then install into "Program Files\Zune" directory? or let it auto install into another directory at "Program Files (x86)\Zune"?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
64Bit version will install in Program Files, 32Bit version in Program Files (x86) automatically. Just make sure you download the appropriate version for your system.

AFAIK the new Zune installer only has one download. It automatically installs the right bit version for your system.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------

I just replied to a bunch of emails, but will paste here just in case. Added this to our FAQ too.

The phone has an “issue connecting to Microsoft server”

The unlocking process requires the phone to communicate with Microsoft servers, if this is unsuccessful, it will not unlock. Some certain proxies may prevent this, so try at home/work if you can.

Check your computer’s HOSTS file (C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\) for a record for “developerservices.windowsphone.com”. If it exists, please remove that line.

Ensure your phone’s Internet Explorer can view “https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/” (note the HTTPS). If you see an 403 error, it means it works.

Toggle WiFi/3G settings and retry

Using this unlock with max limit of 10 apps, Will we be able to deploy Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap and use it?

to make it clear:

First, let’s recap: ChevronWP7 Labs was designed to allow hobbyist developers to install, run, and debug unsigned applications on their personal Windows Phone.

chevronwp7.com
[Windows Phone 7 General] eldenst:
I think nobody needs this. There are (for a lot of devices) much bether ways to sideload ALL apps, an the ways dont take 9$.

And the guys with new devices just wait there will be ways. :-D
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
He-he... I really like xda community ;) Before ChevronWP7 Labs release, all nubs are waiting for the "official hack" as for second coming of Jesus Christ, all comments sounded like a prayer. Now, after release, xda "public opinion" has changed dramatically. "Only 10 apps, no interop, no unlimited warez sideload, waste of money!" etc... But what do you expected??? C'mon people!

But no one even said thanks to the Chevron team!
[Windows Phone 7 General] species8472_rules:
Also, there is NO Pre-Nodo for phones like the HD7S.. :-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigwaveMx:
9 dollars for a huge effort of a big develps really isn't to much. Iven if i can get this for free. Who knows, maybe they open a backdoor to exploit ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Muvolt:
Thanks for what? For doing business with Microsoft? I remind you that an even more popular ecosystem has a free jailbreak that gives access to almost everything.

Is there something that Chevron unlock does and we can't do it already?

Why should we thank them and not the XDA developers who continuously explore WP7 and provide us with free guides and apps about everything?

Who do you want us to thank next? The company which makes batteries for our devices?...so much power in our palms...right? We should thank them!

---------- Post added at 12:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

I still can't understand why this is a "huge effort". They didn't do reverse engineering... They had Microsoft (the original WP7 developing team) by their side...
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigwaveMx:
every one has their own point of view. And i respect that. For me, was a huge effort because in my country 99US for year is a lot of money and i'm a begginer developer and 9 dollars for test my own apps in my own phone is a good deal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Muvolt:
This is a good argument.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Okay genius. How do people with Mango devices unlock their phones unofficially? No reverting to nodo, no losing their settings and games progress.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Muvolt:
Hi Tim, I replied about this in a previous post, so, sorry for copying my words:

The only data that isn't synced is SMS messages. Apps and settings are a matter of one hour to get them reinstalled and tweak them (except if you have that Navigon app with the huge map download - which you can always download later). Zune keeps a list with the apps you have purchased, so you will have the option of re-installing them very quickly..

You can still copy some important SMS to One Note and sync them. If you have lots of important SMS think about this: You have a phone which doesn't provide a backup solution for SMS, so, keeping too many important SMS inside the device is a wrong way of working with a WP7 device...

I'm talking about this procedure because I have flashed my phone 3-4 times without having problems with my data...I don't know about game data though...

...but, even if you unlock your phone with Chevron, there is nothing great about that jailbreak...the most interesting homebrew apps won't be able to be installed because they don't follow Microsoft Marketplace rules. You won't even be able to change something in registry as many people say.
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
The interop-unlock actually works on Samsung and LG 1st gen devices. Heathcliff has mentioned that it's also working with the new chevron unlocker. For HTC 1st gen devices still doesn't exist a solution. If the interop-unlock works on Samsung or any other 2nd gen device is still not reported. In case of the Focus S (or Omnia W) it depends on if it uses the same provxml method as the Focus or Omnia 7...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Games is where this falls apart. Any progress you had is completely gone and you have to start over. It's a pain in the ass.

Oh and it's only $9. If you can't afford $9 you shouldn't own a smartphone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sensboston:
BTW, what are you doing on this forum, not on "popular ecosystem"? Just trolling?

About "thanks": try to guess who's developed famous Chevron unlock for WP7? :D If smart whitehats wanna get small reward for their job, who (except cheap funboys) would disagree?

ChevronWP7 team give a good ability for the real developers and enthusiasts (not for warez kiddies, forum trolls and picky noobs!) from many countries to create own apps and explore the exciting world of programming, just for $9 (not annual $99)!
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Same could be said about 99 considering the cost of cell/data services.

This is only to save people money id they are hobbyists developers. Should not have to pay to use your own phone to develop, imo. That goes for apple as well.

we should be greatful, that we now have the ability to witness something big and be apart of it....this is unheard of by windows, let alone unheard of by the blackmarket community(chevron) to forge an alliance with windows...besides to have unlimited usage to sideload our phones legally is so worth the money, give chevron some props and be thankful you have a billion dollar company (microsoft) that really cares enough to open this option up.....as for droid ...they so loose its gross...there world is full of virus and many other issues..there ecosystem is liken to a bad alley way in the slums ...full of grit lacking funding from its own city ( google R& D) ..and letting the people of the streets run roughshod all through it (hackers with ill intent), with no direction except to copy other ecosystems and in hopes to flourish ( google aka the worlds best copy cats)...

Thanks to Chevron WP7 Labs for enabling developer-unlock on my HTC HD7 (wp7)... Never seen an unlocking process within 15 sec. :eek:

Paid 9$ through Paypal - 10 sec :rolleyes:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Darrian:
This applies to all 64-bit versions of Windows. 32-bit versions of Windows use "Program Files," whereas 64-bit versions of Windows keep 64-bit apps in "Program Files" and 32-bit apps in "Program Files (x86)."

As far as unlocking your phone, however, it may or may not work as it explicitly states on the Chevron website that Windows XP is not supported:

"Some additional points we want to bring to your attention:

The 10-year-old Windows XP operating system is not supported. This is a limitation imposed by various Windows Phone prerequisites of this century."

Where Zune is installed may not be relevant.

Edit: I didn't notice before that somebody had already replied to this, and I see you got your phone unlocked, so congrats.

New Install Tool

The link for the 32 bit install tool on the Chevron labs site has never worked for me no matter what I do. I was able to unlock by using a file posted by another member.

Can someone be so kind as to post or send me the latest 32 bit install tool version 0.5.1.0? It may be 0.5.01, but there is a "1" in the version. I want to be prepared in case I need it when I upgrade my Mango 7720 Samsung Focus to 7740.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] twisticles:
Well as usual I managed to be unique with a big error (copied below). In all fairness, LongZheng did email me back pretty quickly with some suggestions.

Problem for me now is that I can't try any other solutions as it seems my Chevron Labs account has disappeared! I can't log in, I constantly get "oops registration error" screen. Tried on three different PCs, cleared cache etc.

So currently I don't even have access to see any of the three tokens I bought, so I am stuck in limbo until somone is able to solve my account issues. :(

Here is the error that kick started it:

Whoa. Something very unexpected happened. Press CTRL-C in this window and paste the text into a new email to help@chevronwp7.com.

The "Whoa. Something very unexpected happened" error. I'm Italian so it reports partly in my language. Anyway it says the error is an exception during the ChevronLabs.Unlock,Phone process. If you want I can paste it here.

If I have not answer from chevron in twelve hours I will send them another email since they will be two days without any answer.
