Hey,

Can you give instructions for the inexperienced users (me) on how to flash a ROM on this phone? I can't seem to find it anywhere... maybe i'm not using the right keywords for the search.

Thanks

Hey,

Can you give instructions on how to flash a ROM on a windows phone?

I'm kind of new to these things and I really have no idea how to approach this.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ceo4eva:
Hi, I dont know what phone you are using but with my HD2 i just flashed the custom rom like it was any other rom.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eyal453:
what exactly does "flashed the custom rom like it was any other rom" mean?

how do you flash a rom? as in... what button do i need to press?

yes... I really have no clue :)

I just unlocked my Omnia 7 and everithing works great... I just have one question... When the Official microsoft update comes what do I have to do?

Relock and update, just update and unlock again or will it just be impossible to unlock?

Thank you
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
For me its working without WPDT only reg entry

Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
Go and reg on www(dot)samfirmaware(dot)com and download FW

Find via google WP7 Downloader with Samsung modem drivers.

Thats all
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
If you ipgreade you Omnia you will not unlock it with Chevron.

There is a chance to do it with Windows Mobile Device Manager.It will be relased after WP upgreade if it will work
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
Additional I dont have WPDT just reg update and first unlock was done without Windows Live singing in.

And my friend confirmed thet in new Omnia FW Chevron workaround was blocked!!! So check on your other brands devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
And one more I noticed.

For all whom CHevron stops to work. Check if you dont reach 10 3rd party apps.

If you didnt removed max allowens Chevrol will not relock device.

If you want to check it - remove one of app and start Chevron

Hello Guys

Any of you know what should be the extension of video file for phone to be able to play it??

I am wondering if there is any way to move some movies (in DVix format) and watch them on the phone??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] truckerdewd:
On windows mobile 6.5, I know it played video files that were in .mp4 and .wmv format. I know that double twist software can convert them to be able to play on winmo 6.5.

I'm assuming the same is true on wp7
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] phatair:
Hi,

i'm new on the WP7 and i have a Samsung Omnia 7 Phone. I would like to unlock this phone to install some xap files.

I'm not sure whether my procedure for the unlocking is correct.

1. following the instructions on the first page of this thread to unlock the phone

2. installing "this Samsung Tool" to protect for re-locking

3. Now i can install xap files with the xap installer

Is this the correct procedure?

Thanks for your help
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
To install Samsung Tool you need WP7 deploy or Tom XAP installer http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860964

Hey,

You're saying there's a max of 10 3rd party apps allowed when using chevron? does it apply to a "legally" unlocked developer phone?

before I install some apps... have you tried it on a chevron blocked phone?

Thanks,

Eyal
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] phatair:
Hi Laserek_Poland, thanks for the info.

I'm a little bit confused because the instruction on the first post on this thread, to unlock a WP7 device is really simple. On the thread "WP7 Hacking for Beginners - Chevron, Theming, Ringtones, Registry, MMS/Data" is a tutorial too and this steps are more complicated. Which "tutorial" is correct? Is it possible to unlock my samsung omnia 7 with the steps on post 1 in this thread?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Bingzhong:
Hi, I'm new here.

So I followed each step thoroughly, and when I execute 'ChevronWP7' and check off each box and click 'unlock', the program says it has stopped working.

What could be the issue?

Also:

I have the phone on the main menu

I do have all necessary programs running
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domelsnake:
Hi mate

I had this message as well when "hosts" file was read-only.

You can find the file here:

(C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc)

Change this and double check. If its still the same you may need to factory defaulted your device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eyal453:
Hey,

I just tried the thread you posted and it WORKED! i'm the happiest person right now...

I've been trying everything and i guess the skype/port issue and maybe having more than 10 apps before unlocking are the 2 things that failed the process when i tried it. I say go with the thread you mentioned... this one here might work but it's probably safer to do the more detailed one.

THANK YOU for posting that!

Eyal
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Snppls:
Aha, thanks. If it's that easy then I can unlock my phone when I'm offline and lock it again when I visit the marketplace.

And since a hard reset reverts back to factory settings I'm guessing it probably relocks it as well.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] taz5176:
mmm... sorry im quite new.

1. unlocked phone has no access to marketplace?

2. i wanna unlock the phone & install the ringtone app to add customised ringtones. if relock the phone will the ringtones be gone?

'file is not a registry file. You can only import registry files'

This is the error I get when I try to import reg file which looks exactly like this in notepad:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5

I named the file Devicereg.reg and tried to import it. Doesn't work.

My hosts is not checked for read only as well.

Any help?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MOster:
I second both these questions. It would be great to be able to verify this independently.

(Although, maybe you can just download and install a XAP directly? The next thing to research is exactly what we can do with it.)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dzak83:
That helped me! :) When I closed other programs (port 443) it worked :D

You can either:

1. Close down all software that you don't need\use and hope it works

2. Using Sysinternal's TcpView and look for a process that with a "Local Address" of "<your machine name\ip>:https"

The registry key you have is not in the correct format. Try using the .reg in the zip attached below

Thank you so much man.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Snppls:
Unlocked phones do have access to the Marketplace, I just didn't want to take a single risk. While I'm currently using Chevron as well, I'm planning to buy a developer account when I'm ready to release some apps to the Marketplace.

As for your second question, I haven't tried it myself but that shouldn't be the case. Chevron only unlocks the phone to allow you to install apps without the Marketplace. Even if you relock the phone, the apps that were already installed will still be on your device.

Has anyone found a work around for a sim lock error?

I managed to get it all working fine, clicked unlock and Chevron see's my phone as being locked.

However If i put a sim card in my phone it claims there's a carrier lock on the actual sim itself.

(This is not to be confused with a sim security lock where the default for T mobile is 1210).

Has anyone else had this problem?

Gooafternoon.

For my problem the solution was the ip(!!!!) of the local network (my pc).

I changed the ip of my pc and i get the message (Uh oh).

I change it again to automatic and all was ok but until the next synchronization.

Then i changed again to the previous ip (this ip that i get the problem) and all ok but i run the unlock kit for Htc that i found on this thread (first post) to not have anymore these problems.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] humminbird:
it does not working for me as well. i mailed the cer. and installed it on my device. but after i connect the device with my pc and run .exe and error shows up, that trouble commonicating with my phone, open zune....

what can i do?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lcizzle:
Possible Solutions

I just did a Windows Update and checked the log to see what was in it and a Zune update was included.

1. It seems Zune now relocks your device on closing of the application.

-Open Zune

-Unlock device

-Close Zune

-Device is now locked

I can still deploy apps and run them before I close Zune, but once you close Zune after unlock, your device is relocked. (Zune->Unlock->Close Zune->WPConnect wouldn't work for me)

2. After doing #1 I can no longer unlock the device without telling Zune to forget the phone.

-Settings->Sync Options->Device Options->"forget this phone"

3. After using "forget this phone" use the same phone name you previously used or Chevron will just give a comm error everytime you try to connect to the phone.

That's all I got for now.

Ugh, this **** is so inconsistent.

I left Visual Studio open when I was switching from Zune to WPConnect which was causing it to fail. This time I closed it and the transistion from Zune to WPConnect worked which pretty much invalidates this whole post.

Blah!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Pippuzzo:
same problem for me
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lcizzle:
Try this

-Plug in your phone

-Open Zune

-Tell Zune to forget phone

-Unplug phone and plug it back in

-Go through the phone setup

-Open Chevron and unlock

I was getting the communications error as well. Chevron wouldn't even load it would just throw a comm error before the window even popped up and the above fixed it.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cerato:
As I see a lotta folks are experiencing troubles with chevron unlocker, here is some good news :) published by Julien Schapman

=================

Windows Phone Device Manager will be compatible with all Windows Phone 7 devices and interacts with an associated WP application, so called TouchXperience! As well as TouchXperience for WM, TouchXperience for WP will be a fully customizable UI adding new features to the OS, but does not replace standard UI, it comes in the form of an additional hub, where you can place widgets and create custom menus. As the previous version it will be very flexible, for example you can organize your apps in menus, or place links to anything you want (system pages or actions, applications, games, contacts, web links, maps,...). It will also include a file explorer, just like TouchXplorer but compatible with all devices.

Windows Phone Device Manager features:

* Applications management: view, install/uninstall homebrew applications

* File management: explore device, exchange files with your phone

* Files & folders synchronization

* Integration with Windows explorer

* Send to Windows Phone (to send files, apps, ringtones, web links in one click)

* Device backup (if MS allow it)

* Device information

* Add and manage custom ringtones

* Send SMS, E-mail, notes directly from PC (without needing cloud services)

* Shared clipboard with PC and phone

* Use your phone as a remote control (control mouse, keyboard and navigation in Windows Media Center)

* Nice integration with Windows Vista/7: jumplists, widgets, aero effects,...

* Programming sends notifications to phone

* Initiate connection from PC or phone

* Wireless connection support

* Auto pairing (no need to enter PC or phone IP address)

* Open marketplace for non-commercial applications (if developers are interested)

TouchXperience for Windows Phone features:

* Custom panels and widgets

* Interactive backgrounds

* Applications and games launcher

* File explorer

* Contact manager

* Communication manager

* Profile manager

* Task manager

* RSS reader

* Web radios

* Integration with Facebook and Twitter

* DLNA support

* Network drives support

* Skydrive support

* G-scrolling support

* Windows Sideshow support (if MS let me create drivers and services)

* Live tile support

And some other things I probably forgot to mention…

As the WP7 update is delayed I won't wait until March to give you WP Device Manager, there will be a private beta on next week and it will be publicly released soon after if it's alright. Former beta testers and contributors will get access to the private beta, developers having NoDo devices are also welcome to join.

By Schaps on February 10, 2011

==============================

So I hope that soon all wp 7 users will be happy with their devices.

:)

I was having trouble installing this as well. What solved it for me was making sure Zune's settings allow it to launch once your phone is connected.

I had my phone unlocked and connected via USB and Zune was running. It didn't work until I changed my Zune settings to auto-launch the app when connecting my phone.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] saldawop:
Not trying to teach anyone how to suck eggs but this is what I did exactly.All files mentioned are in the attached rar file.

1) Emailed Chevron.cer to my phone, and installed it.

2)Double clicked ChevronWP7.reg on my PC and installed it.

3)Tried opening ChevronWP7.exe ,but kept getting an error message saying it couldnt find my phone in Zune.

Now at point 3 I thought I had everything needed for it to work?

Anyway, I then thought I should install vm_web.exe (Windows Phone Development Tools) .After about 10 min or so it was all installed so tried to open ChevronWP7.exe again.

This time it opened, I ticked the two boxes and hit unlock, couple of secs later it was done.

Disconnected, then reconnected and it was locked:mad:

So I found Samsung Tools.xap, deployed it to my Omnia 7 ,ran the app, and that fixed it as well as removing the ten app limit(havent tried that yet though)

PS Make sure sync has finished, phone is unlocked and on homescreen before open before running ChevronWP7.exe or Application Deployment.
