This tip was exactly what I needed, all I have to say is thank you, thank you and thank you, now I can enjoy this before Microsoft patches it. However Microsoft is working with the team that created ChevronWP7 to make a jailbreak for a later OS update that will attempt to not allow piracy of apps, music, ect, while still allowing third party features :D

Hope this help!!

Hi Guys,

i had an problem with Chevron on my LG Optimus 7.

I unlocked it on Friday last week everthing works fine.

But today i want test the new Advance Config Tool, but i can't connect my phone to Chevron.

I tried all tips and tricks here but nothing works? ( All like, Reg Key, Flight Mode, edit Hosts file, Zune not as guest etc.)

I the last change to unlock hardreset of the Phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hecatombercm:
Chevron wont stay open for me, it auto closes or crashes. I mean I get the can not communicate message but if I press ok even to run chevron again it closes and I have to re-execute chevron as administrator
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hecatombercm:
A hard reset got me no where. well it got me in the situation where I have to completely configure wp7 but cant because I can not unlock it again as I did so easily the first time.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
It's crush because you have host file set to read only.

Go to ..\windows\system32\drivers\etc find file host. Click right mouse button and chose propertis then unmark read only and press OK.

Hope this will help with chevron crash at least.

..no I cant unlock it at all... :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hecatombercm:
Your right chevron doesnt crash now, but it still wont communicate, and host gets rewritten to block my device again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Slaytilost:
I have the same problems, and the odd thing is that when i try to deploy it from visual studio it also says it cant connect.

This is the exact error:

Error	1	Failed to connect to the device. Ensure that the device is completely booted and is connected to the PC.	0	0
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wm.andrew.wilson:
FINALLY got it. Anyone who is following the steps and still having trouble, make sure you have port 443/HTTPS CLEAR of any traffic.

I recommend downloading TCPView (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx)

Hit organize by local port and look for ones using HTTPS.

Good luck!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hecatombercm:
Im pretty sure Im lost long before this part is relevant, but Im certainly going to be confused when I get this far
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hecatombercm:
for 5 days I could not repeat the wp7 port process chevron would either crash or communication error. I tried every mod or tinker i read or wined enough to get out of someone and nothing ever worked. I even tried a computer with a virgin install of window pro 7. No luck whatsoever, i was completely ready to give up but tried just now one last time and suddenly it unlocks and everything worked just like the first time i did this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Slaytilost:
So basicly, nothing changed and it just worked again after a while?

Maybe thats why there are so many `true real fixes`, you just have to be patient and wait till it works again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domelsnake:
I was playing with my HTC HD7 and relocked it with ChevronWP7. After this I could not unlock it any more.

What I finally did was

- reset the phone to factory settings

- install certificate on the phone

- flight mode "on"

- connect to Zune

- run ChevronWP7 without sideload limit

My phone is unlocked again.

I have a clean installation of Windows 7 without any additional software (except Zune and Windows Phone Developer Tool) and that works with my HD7 like a dream.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] la_Tensor:
Hi Domelsnake after your Post i tryed a hard reset of the Phone, now i can connect but Chevron will be closed if i click unlock :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] doublecheese:
Guys !!!

Am I the only one who did not get Revoked by Microsoft Message ?

I have had the Chevron almost from when it was released but I never got my Chevron LOCKED ???

What could be the reason , my TouchXplorer is also working fine ,,,, What is causing the REVOKED by MICROSOFT message ....

I have never Bought any application which are NOT free and I have never used my ZUNE PASS to download any music.

Could it be that Zune Pass or Buying an application triggers this REVOKING process ???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domelsnake:
Hi mate

I had the similar problem.

The first time only ChevronWP7 with sideloads limit run for me.

ChevronWP7 without sideloads was crashing very single time.

When I factory defaulted my phone all was good. I also noticed that if your hosts file is read-only chevronwp7 will not start (will crash again - I was playing with this file and testing behaviour of ChevronWP7)

What is your error message??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] la_Tensor:
Hi,

your right after i wrote the entry here i checked the hosts.file and see that it was read only. After i set it to full access it works but now i can't deploy xaps .

Evertime i try it i get "error 0x89731810" or on Toms XAP installer: Please connect your Phone to Zune , And be sure that is unlocked.

I Use Chevron_nolimit and it say that the Phone it is unlocked any idea?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domelsnake:
Hi mate

I use Toms XAP Installer and works perfectly for me.

When I double click on the *.xap file it will ask me where do I want to deploy the app. I choose Device and all good.

I had this error message when the phone was locked but after unlock all good for me.

I'm not sure why but the tool is not working for me. It's telling me that it can't communicate with my phone. I've installed the certificate so I'm not sure why it's not working. Any suggestions out there?

Try installing Windows Phone Developer Tools first before running ChevronWP7. Worked for me.

It seems we're not the only ones with the problem: forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/67546/439145.aspx

If you actually purchase a developer account you get the same issues :O

Update: I got it working for me!

I read these threads: forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/65865/426506.aspx, forums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/65663.aspx. With zune open and your phone connected, and having the phone developer tools, start the `Windows Phone Developer Registration` tool. Wait for that to load up, and attempt to connect to your phone. That tool also said it couldnt connect, but when i changed my date and time to manual and back to automatic the tool said it could connect again. Closed the tool, opened Chevron7 and it has unlocked once again :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] psycho45:
wow it really works :))))
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
Not working for me at all

Did you off any antivir and/or turn WP to air plane mode?

Could you make step by step instruction?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Slaytilost:
The exact steps that i have done are:

Make sure you have the Phone Developer Tools installed.

Open Zune, connect your Phone.

Start the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool, try to run it.

Unplug your phone, close Zune and the Phone Developer Registration tool.

Turn your phone off, and on again.

Set the time to Manual, and then back to Automatic.

Start zune, plug your phone in.

Start the windows phone developer registration tool, it now recognises your phone.

Unlock using Chevron.

This worked for my Omnia7 twice. I'm just using the Phone Developer Registration tool to check if it can connect, i trust it more then Chevron. If it doesnt work you can google on the error that the registration tool shows, more people have basicly the same issue.

What is your OS??

ChevronWP7 Unlocker will not reopen

Three da three days ago I downloaded a window phone seven for my HTC HD2. Everything worked perfectly but I was dissatisfied with the picture quality. So I flashed another ROM on the HD2. I've been re-flashed the window phone seven rom and attempted to activate the ChevronWP7 tool. At that time I get an error message stating(Uh oh, sorry I'm having trouble communicating with the phone

Could you tell me which FW ver you have?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domelsnake:
I have been playing with my HD7 3 weeks before I unlocked it.

- Do clean installation of Windows 7 with all drivers (do not install any additional software)

- Install Windows Phone Developer Tool

- Install Zune

- Send and install certificate in your device

- Connect to PC and let synchronise with Zune

- Change to "flight mode"

- Run ChevronWP7

Currently I can unlock and relock my phone any time any day without any issues
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] domelsnake:
Use Toms XAP Installer. When you run it once it will add something to your registry and all *.xap application can be installed by double click on them.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] amdest:
Cause of failures found

Hi guys!

First of all - many thanks to devs and all of the community!

All of those, for whom ChevronWP7 didn't worked - read ahead.

I think, I've found the main cause of Cevron's failures. This is the process named SearchIndexer.exe.

Every time it is active - Chevron fails to write to the phone.

So, to unlock the phone you have to install Zune (and set sync options), import .reg file to detect the phone, install .cer file to the phone.

That's all.

I mean - no need even to install SDK for this to work.

1. Connect the phone (make sure Zune app recognizes it and stays in background).

2. Go to the folder, contained Chevron

3. Kill the SearchIndexer.exe process tree

4. Start Chevron.

Tested on two different Windows 7 PC's.

Hope, this is the answer.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] pki:
Unfortunatelly it does not work. I kill the Searchindexer.exe process but as soon as I satrt Chevron, it starts again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] amdest:
Kill it again.

It starts automatically, when you open a folder...

You may start chevron, it fails, you don't close it. Then kill SearchIndexer and press unlock again.

I assume, You've made all the other steps right...

Is there a way of having me NOT reinstalling the apps every "X" amount of days due to "Microsoft revoking blah blah problem"?

Really annoying :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tanders04:
I've tried all of the above and I'm still getting the "connect your phone and launch zune" error.

Too bad, I was enjoying my homebrewed apps almost more than anything off the market.

Hopefully we get a consistent work around soon but with the update coming soon (some rumors even saying tommorow) it might all be for not.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Speed_Sheep:
When you receive the message "Microsoft has revoked the ... app", you don't need to push the uninstall action. By pressing on the "back" button, the application won't be uninstalled.

Still you have the problem that it is locked and won't start, but it makes it easier for you to test.

hi today i ran into trouble

i relocked my phone and wanted to unlock it again without sideload limit.

when i try to unlock the phone again it did not work, telling me its not connected.

so i checked this thread, seems some do have the same problem. well, none of your solutions were working. i tried to remember all steps i did the first time.

then i figured out the solution. skype was still running.

if skype is running or something else blocks port 443 it wont unlock

hope this can help someone...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Laserek_Poland:
possible solution found

Hi all

After week of fight with this blody communication error I was success today.

It seams that phon FW is responsible for this.

I downgreaded my Omnia 7 to JJ4 (now have a problem with downloader mode but its different story) but after I downgreaded FW connect zune, instal cer it start to work.

If I will find the way to fix Samsung bug and flash it again will check JJ6 and others.

Seams Microsfot makes some small update or pushed manufacturers.

So please all of you give us details of you FW if you success with Chevron.

Yes, this was my issue too. Closing down Skype allowed the unlock to work.

No joy for my HD7

Followed multiple threads and tried every variation, but still no unlocked HD7. So far I have:

Downloaded & installed Windows Dev Tools

Downloaded & installed the cert on the phone

Downloaded & installed ChevronWP7.exe on my Windows 7 x64 PC

Tried every variation of running ChevronWP7 (w/Zune, w/o Zune but using WPConnect, airplane mode on, marketplace running, XP3 compatability, and more and more!)

I get as far as ticking the 2 boxes but then ALWAYS get the Uh oh message.

Please - any more advice, suggestions, variations that I could try???

Make sure host file is read only, zune software is running, then run the developer registration, put in your live account information and then you'll get an error. Close that out and then run chevron. That's what I've done twice and it's worked both times.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prjkthack:
How I wish someone could figure this out. Sadly, the above steps did not work. And if the hosts file is read-only, Chevron crashes as it tries to write to that file, so it doesn't work at all when it's read-only.

Custom Rom already Dev Unlocked!!

Hey guys I was reading around this forum and I found a thread that linked to this

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=215406

(It's in russian, i used Google Chrome to translate it)

Anyways the rom is custom made by Football from the DFT_70 source and it already comes unlocked..

I'm tired of the trouble so I'm using it and it works great..

The only thing is it recognizes itself as a HTC Schubert.. have no idea what that is but my phone is unlocked right out of the flash..

I will try that registry thing to see if my phone will recognize itself as an HD7, or if someone can beat me to it that would be great.

I also included the download file to the rom incase you couldnt get it.. I would give thanks to the dude on that site!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HLSUMSQB

EDIT: After registry mods phone recognizes itself as HTC HD7.

For Omnia 7 users

I fighted 2 weeks with Chevron and now I can confirm that its depends on FW vesrion,

I checked JJ4, JJ6 and XXJK1 and its working great.

I installed WPDT, Zune, sebt and install cer on device, checked 443 ports, connected to zune and thet start Chevron. ITS WORK

Checked 20 times.
