This is an error we're working with Microsoft to resolve. Unfortunately we don't have any fixes at the moment. You could try trying a different USB port, restarting your phone or even trying a different computer if you have one.

I bought token today and have my phone unlocked. I thought everything is would be perfect until I notice that I cannot side-load apps that need a higher privileges such as WP7 Root Tools or SS Tools, this is such. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Are you interop unlocked? I believe you need to additionally interop unlock if you wish to install these xaps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nguyenhoangvk:
Yes, I know I am now Interop locked. I spent hours to find the way how to do it. I think I have to revert to Nodo and using the old way which is very popular in the community.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Don't need to revert

There are a couple methods to interop unlock without reverting to anything. Search the forums, they are easy to find.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
I thought interop-unlock not compatible with chevron.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Interop

I am Chevron unlocked and interop unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
you must be using samsung phone right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Samsung

yes, in my signature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HypeZ85:
chevron can be cool if it can automatically interopt unlock :| For lot of people is totally useless :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] memeqxda:
Chevron Labs just offer the Dev.unlock (max 10 apps)

running on Windows 7 sp1 64bits with latest Zune/Windows Phone SDK 7.1
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:

[Windows Phone 7 General] memeqxda:
i m using the student Dev. unlock

so if you don't care the max apps, try to use student unlock
[Windows Phone 7 General] ov2rey:
yes latest version installed..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
why don't you try hard reset first that's what i do or you can look at my post.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ov2rey:

You just need to install the wpst v.2 to your pc but DO NOT RUN it.

Not that I plan to unlock my phone, but isn't unlocking illegal? (I mean, won't it void the warranty?) and MS supports this?

Paradox isn't it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
This is legal approved by micro$oft.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicholasleezt:
UNLOCKED & it worked like a charm !!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] circleofomega:
So unlocking a phone and then doing whatever the (F word here) I want??

Awesome!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
Yes,you can do sideloading of apps that is able to sideload with Chevron unlock BUT only some apps are able to sideload and some don't.We can send back to HTC for servicing if we want to.Or maybe you can remove the 'unsightly' apps before sending for servicing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shawchyn:
Now to get this unlock is much smoooooth!

Take me 1min to make payment;

Take me 1min to download the unlock app

Take me 1min to unlock!

USD9 for 3mins....... worth it! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Naudel:
This tool only allows you to install some xap files (max. 10). Beside that the phone stays fully locked. You can't edit the registry, can't sideload any app that can access system files... This is useless... No wonder why it got MS approval. IT'S A BIG WASTE OF $9.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
You know that it's not any different with an App Hub account which charges $99, do you? The only difference is that you can't publish your apps on the marketplace with the Chevron unlock.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Surprised???????

Look, none of this is "news" to anyone who took the time to read the forums before trying this. The 10 app limit was well known. If you have a phone that supports it, and most do, you merely interop unlock and can sideload almost limitless apps. This app is NOT a registry editor or application of any type other than an unlocker. If you want access to the registry, install a registry editor (you will probably have to interop unlock to do that). Most registry edotors are limited to the keys that can be accessed but you may find one that will do what you want. But this unlocker is NOT that application. Most of us knew that before going into this. I have to say, that my Samsung Focus is Chevron unlocked, interop unlocked, and I have already sideloaded several homebrew apps and could not be happier, including a registry editor. I love the folders app (see attachment, picture taken with another homebrew, screen capturer). So, take a deep breath, do some more reading, and appreciate this unlocker.

does anyone have the link for the screen capture tool that was created? I have been looking for it but i cant find where it went. TIA

"Your phone is ignoring us". :(

Chevron team washed their hands of this one, but has anyone had any success in solving this?

Omnia 7.10.7740.16

I installed MINISDK i found here, and unlock tool started. Phone is nol screen locked, toggled the connections off, restarted both the PC and Phone a couple of times.

i than removed the miniSDK and installed the full thing, and now i can't find registration tool. It's supposed to be in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools" and it's not. I can only see WPConnect there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigBlue007:
Tried unlocking my Lumia 800, and according to their tool it SEEMED to work, but I cannot install any non-market apps. Actually, I don't see any change after the unlock at all. So just to be sure that I'm not doing anything wrong when trying to sideload something: Is there a way to actually see that the unlock did work correctly?

Hey Guys,

I try to install "ChevronWP7 Labs" but I can't because I get the same message "Phone already unlocked externally". Strange is: I've bricked my bootloader long time ago and sent to GSM-TechniX for fix. Now my Bootloader shows "Security Unlock" maybe this could be a problem in combine with "ChevronWP7 Labs"?

I finally got mine to work. I did a full backup of it first, just in case it didn't work, and then did a hard reset. I ran the Chevron unlocker pretty much straight away and it worked.

You get this message because the XAP installer you use doesn't show the real error. The problem is that you need an Interop unlock for some of the homebrew apps (e.g. my Battery Status app).

[Windows Phone 7 General] Snppls:
Can anyone upload the tool from before they took down the link please.

According to their Twitter it doesn't hurt to try again if you have the tool and since they took down the payment service people without a token can't do anything with it anyway.

I purchased a token on my Mac at work and by the time I got home the link was down.

If I get the Unlocker, will I be able to use the Windows Phone Device Center to control my phone with the PC? I'm not a developer but I really miss the ability to manipulate the phone similar to how I was able to in WM devices and the WMDC. I'm not much for "The Cloud". I like to edit my documents and move them back and forth between the phone and computer, move files between phone/computer without having to run it through ZUNE first. stuff like that.

For me, that would be more than worth it for the unlocker.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wpxbox:
You need App for that

You cannot do it without an app, its not app functionality. Try Out Some PC Remote Apps for that. I haven't tried any yet but there are apps

I noticed this ties to a Live account. Does this mean when you buy a token, it's yours for that phone ?

We're (ChevronWP7) all very sorry for all the lengthy queues. A combination of very high traffic and some backend issues are causing this queue to take much longer than normal to clear.

I know it sucks but we hope everyone is patient and perhaps try again at a later time when we can sort out more bugs and the initial rush settles.

P.S. If anyone has contacted us on email, we also apologize for not responding to everyone. If anyone is requesting a refund we would be more than happy to provide one (just send a simple email).

****ing hell I am pissed off. I am not sure how the last 40 went so quickly. Browsing the web and all of the sudden error message came up saying Phone locked, enter PIN and retry. When I did that it came up with Connection issue error. And then when I pressed unlock again, it's now saying 635 people ahead of you.

Ridiculous. I thought the whole unlock screen would have been taken care of the first time when you started the application.

That´s the only reason why I´m suffering this annoying procedure. My OMNIA 7 was allready full unlocked, but the inofficial way.
