I just don't see the point of charging people for testing their apps on a device. They could have made the best feature for their phone, but by charging the developers to unlock their device, they won't release it or continue developing for the wp7.

(I couldn't word this right at all... Sorry.)

It's just another thing preventing ordinary people from testing their own apps on the windows phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
i get this error issue .an issue occured while unlocking your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayousaf:
Right... it's now more than 3 hours since I tried the unlock... since the last time I've posted the queue has gone down to 25 people...

Blast. I've just checked my version of the Windows Phone Support Tool and I have v1. I've just read the Chevron FAQ and am told I need to upgrade to v2.... this probably explains my problems!
[Windows Phone 7 General] BigwaveMx:
You can make a virtual machine of windows 7 and try from there. I think that should work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
Indeed you need Windows Phone Support Tool or the unlocker app will crash...
[Windows Phone 7 General] codyc88:
not working

I've been trying to to unlock since this went live. I've had nothing but problems. Saturday, i waited HOURS, and i had to leave, so when i got back, i didn't mind starting over, but it was down, Sunday, it was down, this morning I tried, started off nice at 25 in que, got to 1, and i got a name error, no biggie, changed name, restarted phone, got back in que, then, error has occured, contact chevronwp7. I've emailed help@chevronwp7 and support@chevronwp7, ..what else do i need to do. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
If you're trying to unlock right NOW, it's not going to work because we've hit our unlock limit. We're awaiting to get more unlocks allocated. Unfortunately we have no ETA on this but it should be "soon".
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
i've been trying since yesterday night till morning sending emails,tweet regarding the issue and almost installing another os yet i haven't receive any answers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
It is my understanding you've fixed some problems and are now hitting others? Since the service isn't unlocking anyone now, it'll be difficult to pinpoint what is wrong but when it is back I would encourage you to keep trying.

Also, we receive several hundred emails so I apologize if we skip some.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
It's ok and apologies accepted.No heart feelings.;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] goldenpipes:
I got my Focus unlocked, something i really really want is custome accent colors, i know pre-mango Dave Amenta's app worked flawlessly i tried to run that after INTEROP-unlocking and no dice. As well as Julien Schapman's AdvancedConfig. No go there as well...

I'm not looking forward to mucking with the registry to change colors but if thats what it comes down to.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] s10010001:
Hey I'm willing to muck with the reg to get a new color! got a link?
[Windows Phone 7 General] xjorgen1x:
If your wp7 is a htc device, good luck because there isn't an interop unlock available (yet).
[Windows Phone 7 General] s10010001:
Is it normal for my phone to keep relocking after every deploy? It unlocks fast with the tool but still.

HTC Trophy Verizon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
you need to ask Chevronteam.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

any other sideload apps that you have installed?
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
The phone should never relock unless you hard reset it. What are you deploying in particular and have you tried unlocking again?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayousaf:
12 hours later still 32 people in the queue ahead of me

Right, I've had the phone connected all night, and the queue was still 32 people long. I've had to disconnect because I can't wait any further as I need to take it with me to work now.

My Mango upgrade took effect on the day of release, in less than an hour. I'd love to say the same of the unlock, but I've been trying since Saturday night, and it's been quite unexepectedly delayed. I appreciate the team have faced issues (cloud services down, etc) and have lots of emails to deal with, but any refining of the process would be really welcome.

I hope to be able to successfully unlock in the next day or so, best of luck with it all guys.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
We're back with more unlocks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayousaf:
Success at last! Took around 15 minutes to work through the queue.

Thank you so much!
[Windows Phone 7 General] bbbbqq:
Keeps giving me the "we're having problems connecting to the Microsoft Servers from your windows Phone" error :\ What can I do about that ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] WizardCM:
This is great news for the Windows Phone 7 developer community, because we have official homebrew.

It's sad that the first few days have been incredibly bumpy, but this is huge and everyone wanted to download the tool at once to start doing all sorts of cool stuff. Obviously the team have been working hard, and their work will be greatly appreciated as more and more devices get unlocked.

Just got my phone unlocked, and am excited to see what apps people on sites like this will make. Go Team WP7! :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
always "you're next inline!there-unlocking phone-phone locked-an issue occured while bla bla bla....have been click the unlock button so many times:mad::mad::mad::(:(:(

Update :Internal issue,retrying......
[Windows Phone 7 General] digger1985:
I am having issues. I sent emails but haven't heard anything back. Really pissed off.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
they are busy trouble shooting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
I finally got unlocked the official way. Took about 20 minutes this morning.

Make sure that you have installed Windows Support Tool V2.0 and SDK 7.1 or the unlocker will crash...
[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
Send me a DM with your email address and I'll personally respond to it. We're dealing with a lot of email in a short amount of time.

Finally got device unlocked after installing updated software. Took a hell of a long time to work through the queue but left it hooked up overnight & it was unlocked when I got up this morning. Well done Team Chevron!

Sent from my HTC Titan using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] Barbbachello:
That happened to me. Had to do a hard reset. I think its stuff left over from the old chevron unlock
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
I still do left advanced config,reg.edit and 1more apps which cannot be deleted.My token is still pending.:(:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmuntean2:
tokens not vailable???

Great! Token purchasing system disabled for the moment, why the h*ll did they released the unlock tool without the proper support for the token purchasing system?? this is ridiculous, really...

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

Why on earth have you disabled the toke purchasing system??

We have to wait again decades to be able to use this tool because you have problems with receiving money from us??
[Windows Phone 7 General] contable:
You mean those apps can't be uninstalled because they are in the settings hub ?

Use Windows Phone Power Tools to uninstall them.

But I don't think that the unlocker doesn't work because you have installed those apps...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
You might get relock if you install some sideload apps which i have been using u2m7720.;)

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Yup it's in the setting hub.Where can i get the windows phone power tools?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
You can find them here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NGAHUN:
Paid, wait 6 hours, and bad token????
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
try it already but it cannot connect although i enabled zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrDOS001:
I've unlocked my HTC HD7 without problems. First, i've disabled lock screen. After connect the phone to PC, in Zune, change the name of your phone. Exit from Zune. Purchase the token (if available and if you don't have one...) and download of the client software (I've used v.0.30). After a queqe of 47... Unlocked!

Bye ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
What does this mean?" Unlocking will fail if the phone is already registered to an App Hub account. To use ChevronWP7 Labs, the device must be removed from the registrar's App Hub "devices" list."

Does it mean that we already paid USD99 to be a developer.Or we just register without paying.I can sign in to the app hub but i'm not a developer and i don't pay USD99.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Necroman_AI:
It means what it says:

if you are registered with app hub as a developer, this unlock will not work as its basically the same! If you want to use the ChevronWP7 Labs instead of the App Hub, you have to unregister your device from the App Hub
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
big differences though:

iPhone been around since 2007 and initial jailbreaks did cost

Android been around since 2008/9 slow interest but grew quickly since 2010 first smartphone to have 'open access'

Windows 7 phone been around since 2010 very little interest until q2/q3 2011 and now starting to pickup especially since 'Mango' and possible market to Xbox 360 users, and this is the first 'user-friendly' service to unlock a WP7.5

Each system has its starting point and Q3/Q4 2011 and 2012 will be WP7's 'limelight'
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
I didn't pay $99 so that means I'm not a developer and not registered. Am I right?
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
If you've ever had your phone unlocked by someone else then your phone could still be tied to their account.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmuntean2:
Sorry for asking but are you the same as MS developers? Not able to deliver a good quality product?

Because as I am seeing now this unlocking service is nothing close to decent quality:

Token purchasing disabled

Bad token errors

Ridiculous waiting time to unlock

I am curious why on earth haven't you people made this tool to run locally, locked to each user's IMEI for example, instead of this stupid, not working token system.

Anyone can blame me for this comment, but face it people, we have waited a very long time for this service and now it doesn't work as it should have.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
I used to use u2m7720 just for a few month before my device was locked I can't sideload or use the apps that i have install due to sideload some apps.So I believe that I'm free to use 'legal unlock' by Team ChevronLab like NODO.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Necroman_AI:
If you dont like it why do you insist in using it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ziko:
Poeple are enthusiasts and want a usable phone.

The whole WP7 Story is a big Money-Making-Machine for MS, nothing more.

The, so called, DEVELOPERS paid $99 to MS for nothing.

To earn money on Marketplace?

Marketplace is dead.

WP7 is a deadend.

Because Silverlight and Flash is no more supported in Win8.

And all that "Developers" are "developing" in SIlverlight.

If you are an developer, please, tell me how much Code can you write in 8 Hours per day?

OK, an good game is 100 and more Mb big.

How long need you to write, alone, all this code?

Oh jea, you "develop" in Silverlight!!

Thats the reason for all that useless and cheap apps on MArketplace.

There is no work inside and who is so stupid to think earnig lot of money with NO work at all??

Another question, who is so stupid to pay money on Marketplace for that useless, cheap, Apps?

All that poeple on XDA are searching help but comments, simmilar to your above, wont help anyone.

We want to make clear to everyone that this OS, WP7, is a deadend and that poeple focus on another OS.

Nothing more.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
....and what have you coded for what OS again....?
[Windows Phone 7 General] returned4good:
If it's a dead end, how is it a "Money-Making-Machine"? And vice versa?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmuntean2:
I have a htc surround, if you can read my signature and I am waiting for their stupid unlocking system which of course is not working now, waiting to pay for a service that is not working because they are to lame to fix their problems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Well Intentioned

Look, this is a great example of the difference between developing a homebrew app and developing a paid service. These guys are great developers but that does not make you a great service provider. For anyone who thinks that providing a service, in fact a paid service, is easy, just remember this introduction. Most companies test, test again, run failure scenarios, and develop a customer service knowledge base to deal with anticipated customer issues, and we ARE customers, never forget that. These guys had an approved monopoly and took advantage of it and over simplified what needed to be done to provide a quality service.

They are well intentioned and talented but let themselves believe that this would translate into providing a quality service experience for their customers. It does not, and did not. Hopefully they will develop some humility and reapply themselves in earnest, realizing now that they don't know everything. Getting people to change their phone name is a great example of believing their way is the right way.

I wish them luck.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stevenmu:
Reading between the lines of some of the earlier posts, it appears that this unlock actully works through Microsoft's servers. The client communicates with Chevron's servers, which in turn communicate with MS's servers which sends the unlock back to Chevron's servers which send it back to the client which can then unlock the phone. I'm guessing Chevron had to do it this way for the unlock to be official and supported.

This does make for a tricky solution though, and I'm guessing a lot os the issues that have arisen have been in the interactions between Chevron's and MS's servers.

I'm sure that now that it's gone live the kinks can be worked out quickly and soon we'll have a perfectly working service.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wiggy g32:
I unlocked my titan and managed to deploy a few XAP's to it. I now Flashed A new ROM to the phone and Chevron wont unlock the phone it says the phone has been unlocked externally. But i cant deploy any XAP's as that says my phone is locked! What am i supposed to do?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
I have already change name twice use another PC to unlock but come to square one token still pending with the same error. And am getting frustrated almost a week already. I think nodo is much easier than this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Necroman_AI:
Again, if you don't like it why do you insist in trashing it?

Don't you see there are people around that like and use the OS and what you say or think doesn't really matter?

Don't try to impose your opinions on others, especially like that!

And enough on the off-topic please.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sunary:
so great! only 9$

It is great if:

1. It works,

2. It provides what you need,

3. It doesn't require you to do rediculous things (change phone name, upgrade from your current operating system.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Leapo:
Got my Samsung Focus unlocked the day after the service became available. Took about 10 minutes to get through the queue.

So nice being able to take screenshots again :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
:D:D:D:D:D At last got myself unlocked.have been trying this for almost a week.Here is what i do : I do hard reset to my device back to factory setting and i'm lucky that I still have my Mango.Why I do hard reset :In the setting there are Internet Sharing,RegEdit & Advanced Config which i cannot delete it manually or using Windows Phone Power Tools.
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
Sorry to hear you had to hard reset your phone but there are rare cases where your phone is in a weird state we can't deal with.

---------- Post added at 07:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------

1. It has worked for a large portion of users and we're doing our best to get the rest fixed.

2. It is our understanding people are only buying it if they know it is what they need

3. There are limitations of any system and we are working within certain constraints to offer this service. (ex. changing phone name is a limitation of the Microsoft system, we make it obvious how to fix this)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
Your Team have support and answer my emails,just hope that all of you don't get frustrated (with me) for emailing so many times.

Hope this can be some kind of a guide ot hint to someone who can't unlock their phone.Actually I've tried 3 pc inorder to unlock my phone:mad::confused::( phew ...after the hard reset it just take about 1-2 minutes..damn that was fast.sideloading is a breeze but it i don't know how many i have sideload until i get an error that i need to unlock my phone.I think that i reach the max of 10 sideloads.So whenever I need to sideload I need to uninstall an apps.Hopefully we can install more than 10 apps next time.GOOD JOB TEAM CHEVRONLAB.:D:D:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] bbbbqq:
I'm unlocked now, yay. It wasn't that hard, just remember:

1. Make sure your phone is locked. If you've used another unlock, then re-lock it first

2. Make sure your hostfile is not blocking https://developerservices.windowsphone.com
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekhwani:
Is the service available again?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
Have you buy the token yet?
[Windows Phone 7 General] wiggy g32:
How do you relock a phone? as i think i need to do that to get it to unlock mine again
[Windows Phone 7 General] dk_iceman:
the webside you linked to is not working ??
[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:
If you see a 403 unauthorized error, it means it's working.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
If you can't install or or sideload that means your phone is relock.If you want you can do hard reset by 1:switching off your phone2: press volume increase & decrease & power button simultaneously until you see a grey box with writting appear(can't reclaim the writting).
[Windows Phone 7 General] sarathvenmony:
tokens will b available only after monday??
[Windows Phone 7 General] feygor:
still can't get my phone to unlock using chevronwp7.

Kinda think i've wasted $9 here as they are selling tokens again on Monday and not dealing with my emails.

I will not resort to hard resetting my phone and losing all of my saves on games apps etc.

If I were to have to hard reset i'd RSLP and flash an interop-unlocked rom anyway, definately not doing it for the ability to sideload a handful of restricted apps...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
what's the error you get?
[Windows Phone 7 General] wiggy g32:
Well as i said sideloading says my phone is locked but chevron says my phone is unlocked! im going to hard reset and see what happens
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
I don't think you need to buy another token.Maybe after your hard reset,you use the unlocker and copy paste the s/no and unlock again.

[Windows Phone 7 General] LongZheng:

Can you tell me what error you're getting?

---------- Post added at 01:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 AM ----------

That should definitely not be happening. If we report it's unlocked, it's actually your phone telling us "I'm unlocked".

Can you confirm what the "Windows Phone Developer Registration" tool says?
