That's my next step.

But I was wondering if you had put Samsung tools on there first to prevent re-locking if that would have saved you.

I'm getting ready to try reset to see if I have a registry issue keeping mine from unlocking again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ghettocruiser:
I wonder the same thing (about samsung tools)... Unfortunately, after I got it unlocked, I ran out of time to fiddle around with it, so I left it for later. Maybe it would have worked, maybe not.

I just dont understand why nothing works now... Im not really interested in formatting the phone...but I guess I could. I dont have much on there. Just pics mostly and a few free apps that I could re-download. My settings, organized contacts list, and things like that are more important to me, and might keep me from doing it. I spent a lot of time sifting through my contacts list and chaining accounts etc.

Oh well...

Chevron7 does not work on Sprint Arrive (formerly HTC 7)

I have gone through numerous threads and tried just about everything to get ChevronWP7 to load on my Sprint Arrive, none have been successful. Can't get past the "trouble communicating with device" message. I am waiting for the "real" jailbreak to come out but just wanted to see if anyone else has an Arrive and got it to work.

Ok let me help you :

I have modified it for you ,just extract the attached file (vm_web.zip) and run "setup.exe" inside the folder .

I also dropped in the original for you(vm_web.7z) ( if you want it to modify it your self) Look

Ok, Guys

Now that we have unlocked our WP7 phones , what is next ?

Why did we unlock it ? just to install custom ring tones ?

What is the next step , where can we find uncertified applications ?

What do we do with this unlocked phone now ?

Applications needed for WP7

1) File Explorer

2) Registery Editor

Chevron Unlock not working on Windows 7 Ultimate

I have tried everything but cant get the Chevron to unlock my phone. Installed Cert on the phone and even made the registry change. It still shows make sure its connected to USB and Zune is running. Any pointers?

Appreciate..

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prootc1:
same as me, still get this message...

in my registery dont have the windows phone directory, i found one proxyports in window Ce directory, and change it but still give me that error...

I've posted in the ringtone thread, I'll do it here also. Seems MS had blocked the ChevronWP7 already. I can not deploy any xap files... and now, all the ones I've side loaded can not be run on the phone anymore, and get a message "MS has revoked XXXXXXXX app, Please uninstall it"

:(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sadoway:
tried that... still not actualy sure what im looking for (forgot the port atm. but i did know what number) but where? lol. i checked every list with numbers and didnt see it being used.

i tried this to, but it never installs anything. i keep getting errors. i started to download and install the peices. stuck at the directx part now. its like it dosnt download anything (im on win xp sp3 also)

so all i can say is. this sucks. paid 15$ for my carrier unlock, double quadruple checked my registry, checked and unchecked locking the "host" file (when i changed this is just made chevronwp7 crash, defualt was unchecked (not read only) and that doesnt crash) tried to find if the port was used. even tried deleting the windowsphone in the host file(came back on its own anyways).

and still get that damn connect usb/turn zune on bulloyster crap...

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sadoway:
double post. sry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] WithinRafael:
No. This is because you re-locked the phone. Unlock it and you'll be fine.

Unlock your phone first & relax. Or (if you can't unclock by yourself), pay $99 to Mr. billgates, or get a free students dev account.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] voodooutt:
strange, because I never re-locked it. How would it just re-lock itself?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
I have no idea but (especially) just tried the unlocker (although I have a corporate & my personal dev accounts) and it works fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] barrychon:
yeah, the sane thing happened to me.

When i clicked the program on my phone. I got a message from MS asking me to uninstall, because the program has been revoked.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mathiaspe:
same here, tried to start TA maps and MS forced me to uninstall it.

Connected the phone and ran ChevronWP: it's locked again!

maybe MS pulled the kill switch an re-locked the phones?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DevalB:
Unfortunately, this thread is pretty much dead now, Chevron does not work post-nodo update for 99% of us.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gbuscrizist:
Then the question is posed, Should we reflash back to pre-NoDo, or shall we wait it out?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DevalB:
I would wait it out, only because NoDo is the start, and there will be a later software coming which adds the multitasking, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] viking13:
You can revert to older OS version (7004), unlock your phone and then update via Zune and you will have unlocked NODO. It should work with 7008 version (February update) too, but I haven't try to unlock that version.

The only problem is reverting to factory default. if you revert your phone to factory defaults, you will have locked NODO, so you need to repeat revert, unlock, update process to have unlocked phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DevalB:
Unfortunately that won't work for us Arrive users.

How do you revery to build .7004? I forgot to unlock my Focus before applying Nodo. Now no Ringtones :-(

I dont even see a thread with detail on how to flash / revert back to .7004 for those of us locked. (maybe I cant search correctly??)

A hard reset and the Windows Phone Support tool only revert back to 7390.

Or is there another way yet to "unlock" the phones post nodo and apply ringtones?

How do - Chevron/side Load with NoDo...

this is what I found to work...

Problem:

- WP7 phone is unlocked and you can side load, etc. but after NODO you can't do that you get "not trusted by Microsoft...un-install" or something like that :-)

Solution:

**** Note I ahve a SIM Unlocked phone****

**I have a Samsung Focus on ATT**

1. un-install NODO - yes that is right - RESTORE to the febuary 7004? build. remember anything you installed from market place after nodo will be lost and you will have to re-install when you get nodo re-installed.

2. load the Cert, then run chevron and then load (XAB loading tool for the cabs ) the samsung tools "SamsungTools.xab" (if you have samsung focus (see details at http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606)

3. this SamsungTools.xab has a feature that lets you keep the phone from re-locking (for htc go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=913748 )

4. once you did the "keep from relocking feature" then you can run the NODO update. Note, you should get prompted "there is an update for your phone"

5. install nodo and bam! all your XABs are still there and working as is your ability to load new ones :-)

:eek:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesscro:
@ aethicus...

I am slowly giving up :)

Hello guys,

for the start wanna thanks to all of you for this amazing work what u doing here.

I get my HTC HD 7, like one week ago, since then i was looking around "how to" get apps from PC into my Phone.

I was searching around, found your forum and tried to make it. But didnt :-)

What my situation:

Using Windows 7 x64 on my laptop.

I tried everything what ive saw here.

- hosts file check/uncheck for reading

- i got the cert in my phone

- installed Developers tools

- got registry checked / fixed

- checked ports

- and so on

Was trying to unlock my HTC with Zune or WPconnect but never did it.

All the time Chevron stopped working or is unable to connect with my Phone (depends if the host file is check for reading or not).

I am giving up over here, coss i ran out of any ideas how to make it so accepted i have to post a reply here :)

I will be very but very gratefull if some1 can help me out over here.

Best regards, have a nice day.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Mclovin1001:
I think dont quote me an im sure someone will 100% confirm this, once you have update to the copy and paste fuction your phone wont be unlocked and cant be unlocked. From what im reading you need to downgrade versions unlock the phone apply a fix to stop it locking it self and then download the new update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ZSK:
Thanks for answer.

So that means. Reset to factory, unlock, disbale relocking and then update right ?

Sorry if i missuderstand.

hi all,

today i was successfully unlocked my phone (HTC 7 Mozart) and installed TouchXplorer, Tom XAP and NativeKeyboard.

but, 2 hour ago, i try installing the new game and recieve message:

- Please Make sure you phone was unlocked!

- Please Make sure you connected device to PC and Zune launched

I launch ChevromWP7 and try to unlock my phone again.

I recive error message After 5-7 second:

Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone

-Please make sure i'ts connected using USB

-Please start the Zune application.

who have any idea?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] albert2adams:
YES! YES! YES! I got it! My HTC Trophy WP7 (7008) Is now unlocked!

And updated auto to 7390 and still unlocked!

Key was to restart device while connected to Zune before unlocking with Chevron.

DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE!

Deploy reg changes to keep unlock

Now unplug phone and restart

Connect to Zune and allow update

DONE!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] alan93:
Success

Good news for the hopeless here.

After about a month of not being able to unlock my sammy focus (7004) after I inadvertantly locked it a month ago and couldn't unlock until now.

After no sucess on Vista and XP (without reset) I used these steps and got it unlocked again on Windows 7 (with reset):

1.) disconnected windows 7 machine from internet

2.) installed older zune (zunepackage47)

3.) Reset Phone (yep you lose all your stuff and settings and installed apps, except LIVE calendars, contacts thankfully)

4.) Sync with Zune (had problems but after computer restart and phone restart all was well.

5.) chevron unlock - success

6.) IMMEDIATELY - hooked up to laptop that had all my xap apps

7.) IMMEDIATLEY - install samsung tools (prevent unlock)

8.) Uninstalled Zune before an update or registry entry was made, in case I want to use this comptuer to repeat above again.

Still unlocked day after.

Theories:

I did turn on airplane mode after reset just to make sure some chevron break feature wasn't put on it if that was the case, but I had to turn this off a few times to get it to unlock I think.

Why it wouldn't re-unlock?

Still not sure. I am thinking it might have been the samsung tools installed to prevent re-locking but after locked it prevented re-unlocking? Couldn't get back to registry without resetting so it worked.

I'm also thinking that it could be a newer zune updated preventing unlocking it so that is why I installed older without net access.

good luck to all who follow.

Ive resisted the unlocking/unbranding whatever and chevron unlocker stuff

I just wanted to ask some of you guys who have done all the unlocking/chevron unlock thign ..do you think i should take the risk or just wait for Microsoft?? its best to wait now isn't it? especially after their recent warning about future updating problem. I have an Omnia 7 ...unfortunately with T-mobile UK its just taking ages. Im on firmware 7004 still, and no sign of any updates. Is anyone else experiencing this poor lengthy wait from t-mobile uk too?? i see many people on 7008 and higher..but im still waiting on feb update. Ive tried all the other methods, (non hacking way) ..just says im up to date.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gkoonjul:
I'd say it depends on how patient you are. I got Nodo through the unlocker method but my brother who got the same phone as me at the same time as me hasn't got it yet, but is just going to wait for the official update to go through. It depends on what you use it for.

I don't think using the unlocker will be a problem for future updates. I'm pretty sure the homebrew community isn't going to bail on everyone if something does go wrong. Also Microsoft said they didn't think it was a good idea not DON"T DO THAT OR YOUR WARRANTY IS VOIDED.

something like that

I also have a Samsung Omnia 7 and i just can't unlock it(i downgraded my device to 7004 and i also installed zune47)...

i followed to the letter the guide above:

"1. Have Winphone developer tools installed

2. Connect Phone via USB

3. Wait till zune starts and sync completes

4. Verify that zune is not in a guest relationship

5. open a command prompt, type netstat -a to confirm that port 443 is not being used > or TCPView..

6. open an admin command prompt, navigate to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ then type notepad hosts and delete any references to windowsphone developer services

7. go to the settings on the phone and turn airplane mode on (so that the phone is forced to use internet via zune)

8. While the phone is still on the settings page, run Chevron with admin privileges"

It seems I receive the typical USB connection error that everyone is complaining about.. What am i doing wrong here? Is this tool still working coz i see here i'm not the only one. Please help

ChevronWP7 Question

I am super new to the windows phone 7, I am a apple user since the beggining so I am familiar with the concept of jailbreaking and unlocking ios firmware and installing 3rd party apps and the Chronic Dev Team for unlocking basebands with versions of ultrasnow if any of you are familiar. My question is this chevronWP7 any good or should I stay away from it, I heard they pulled it and that sends up a red flag to me. I have the HTC HD7 and I love the phone but I am not totally conviced on how safe it is to unlock it and side load programs!! Any Advice would be appreciated...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] truckerdewd:
It was pulled because the developers are now working with Microsoft. There is nothing wrong with it except that it is no longer supported by the developers and will not work if you've already done the No do update

Sent from my wickedly brilliant Android powered HD2
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Electrix.Muzik:
Thanks you the info much appreciated.. To bad I already updated to the NoDo update. Hopefully their will be another unlock for WP7..
