Need WMDC 6.1 setup

Hi!

I had trouble to set up Chevron WP7 on a clean install of Windows 7 x64. I went back to my laptop which had all SW needed for my old Diamond even Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. Chevron worked like a charm there.

When I installed WMDC 6.1 on the newly installed desktop all of a sudden my suffering ended. Strange, uh?

Some device driver was needed to help Chevron to communicate with my phone. Not sure what it is but some clever folks here will find it out.

Regards,

Cina.

Your REG file should look like this...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

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

It does... And still doesn't work.. TheChevrom program runs but when I click unlock it gives an error... :S
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] alan7467:
Unlocker isn't working anymore for me either. Get the "trouble communicating with the phone" message every time. Reinstalling the cert doesn't help. I'm assuming that this has to do with the update to the Zune client.

Never thought I'd own a smart phone more locked down than the iPhone :mad:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BellPego:
I sideloaded apps after the Zune and phone update.. Last night the phone just restarted on it's own and them was locked and the unlocker stoped working.. I think this as something to do with microsoft.. Well.. Any ideas? Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ArtSooby:
can it be the language ?

Hi! This is my first post. I mostly came here to find a way to unlock my Windows Phone 7 device (LG Optimus 7) with ChevronWP7. I had the frustrating bug about the USB connection and the Zune problem. I just wanbt to let people know that I fixed my problem when I changed my OS language from French to English. Does it was another problem? I don't know, I just fixed my problem this way.

*** sorry for my english, I still working on it ;) ***

I wish it can be helpfull

Factory reset solved the problem for me, when I wasn't able to re-unlock it again on the Omnia7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Fre_ZZe:
I just bought a HTC Trophy WP7 phone, and it has this annoying bug that the phone doesnt recognize numbers with countrycode in it.

So if my contact is stored as +47 99506245 - the phone only shows the number (last 8digits) and not my contact name when recieving a call. I've read that there's a registry fix to this, but I guess I have to unlock my phone to be able to write to the registry?

Is it safe to unlock my Trophy? And how do I do it the most easy way?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BellPego:
Just re-unlocked my phone... ;)

Just changed region and restarted... And then changed it back to what I wanted and restarted again.. And worked... ;)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Drake008:
I got a HTC Trophy and tried all so far, I can think of. New Win7 64bit without updates for itself and Zune. Restored HTC. The registry entry is in, too.

changed from my language to all available language and so on.

Everytime the Chevron put the error message that the program does not run properly.

Any hints for me????
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rmcgraw:
Every time I click "Unlock" in ChevronWP7, the program crashes to "ChevronWP7 has stopped responding." My hosts files is fine, registry is fine, I ran the .cer file on my phone, am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit.

What gives?

(Yeah I know the update is coming "soon," but I have a Samsung Focus on AT&T, it seems we may never get it. I just want to play around with the phone before that time comes)

EDIT: Fixed it. Seems I misread "make sure your hosts file is not read only" as "make sure it is read only"

Ok i didnt find a quick answer i hope my question is okay: currently my HTC Mozart ist chevroned. Will it be locked if i install the NoDo Update? If so, i will have to wait with the NoDo Update for someone to chevron the NoDo again :-)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Savage1969:
The down and dirty answer is: Chevron (in it's current form) does not work with NoDo (OS Version 7.0.7389.0).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] um2you:
Do I need VISTA to open 'chevronwp7.exe'?

can't open it in XP
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Budniu:
You need Vista or W7. WinXP not supported for Chevron unlock. But you must have OS version pre NoDo actualization because NoDo don't work with Chevron too.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mkaan:
this guy is a genius. unplugging fixes the "cannot connect" issue.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bitbrat:
I know this will annoy/frustrate some of you...

Well, I had all the same problems initially unlocking my Focus. Eventually I gave in and decided to finally update my PC.

I have been running XP for ages, and never bothered to upgrade, but now I actually want to consider doing some developing, so I need Vista. (You can unlock on XP, but it's a lot harder)

Here is the important point: I DID A CLEAN INSTALL.

Total wipe and install of Vista x86.

Here is the payoff though, I can unlock ANY WP7 phone, no matter if they have a synch relationship to my Zune software or not. I have done three so far, and only one is mine, the other two were "Guest" phones.

Chevron worked fine, and I immediately set them unlimited sideload and Never re-lock just to be sure. Since this requires a couple of sideloads right off, I know the unlocks worked.

Just thought I would mention this, you only have a few days left to get those unlocks done before NoDo closes the door on this exploit..... until someone finds another one......

PS. Please ignore the .sig, I haven't updated yet..... :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] djgreedo:
I had success by restarting my phone (Omnia 7).

I tried all the various suggestions with no success. I then turned the phone off and back on and it now unlocked.

I think perhaps restarting the phone completed the certificate install or something.

And to clarify what some instructions don't: you need to install the certificate on the PHONE, not the PC. Email the file, open it on your phone, then tap on the file to install it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mr/sony:
i must use 7 or vista or what ??

----

thnx

i saw the other post's

i must use vista or 7
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] alan93:
Can anyone verify that setting the phone back to the initial state allows it to unlock?

i had mine unlocked for the longest time then stupidly locked it and was never able to unlock it again even after trying everything mentioned on here.

Its the Focus.

Also is there a way to save your phone setup ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dizaster:
is that true or a joke?

firmware 7.0.7008

hi guys . updated my phone to 7.0.7008. now sideloading apps wont load and chevron cant unlock it again. is all hope lost ? as when i try unlocking again it just says cant connect. . thanks in advance , ive looked through the posts and cant find anything on this version
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] crubbish:
Your phone has simply been re-locked over flashing. The 7008 is unlockable in a usual way by Chevron. However it doesn't always work the same way for everyone. Go through this thread and see + try different solutions. You are certainly not the first one having trouble with unlocking. Good luck!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] blixclone:
thanks man! i love it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chizzwhizz:
i have a samsung focus. i unlocked it awhile ago. I have been trying to install the .7008 update but it wasnt working...kept timing out. So i relocked the phone...now I can no longer unlock it. Is there anyway to fix this? I've done everything that this forum has said and either Chevron can't communicate with my phone or when I click unlock, it says a problem has occurred and shuts down. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Loiselle:
I have found the ONLY way to unlock a phone, after re-locking it, is to completely reformat the device. 100%.

I screwed up a few times and accidentally re-locked it. This was the only way I could do it again.

Good luck.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Windows XP

Simple question, hope there is a simple answer. What have people who have Windows XP done to get Chevron to unlock their phone? I have an ATT branded, locked Samsung Focus and am running Windows XP. Downloaded and installed everything I am supposed to have but have had no luck unlocking with Chevron. As an input, WPconect.exe will not run (not a valid Win32 file). I have the latest Developers Tools.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] buffalosolja42:
tried the format and that didn't work for me either, dang it trying to get nodo made me have no mo
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Seed 2.0:
The first time I unlocked my Att Focus it worked no problems, quick as can be. I relocked it and went to unlock again and I got the standard can't connect error.

I just did hard reset and and it still doesn't work. I cant get the phone to unlock now. I've read every single post in this thread and many others. Tried all methods. I cannot get the phone to unlock again. I'm completely stumped. I figured it was a Zune update or windows update. I just beat down and broken I guess. Ive spent a total of 24 hours minimum the last two weeks working on unlocking this and its not happening for me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Loiselle:
I can only speak from my own personal experience here.

Once the phone relocked, I completely reformatted the phone.

Reinstalled the .CER file, put the phone into airplane mode, yadda yadda yadda... the whole 9 yards.

What works from some, doesn't always work for others.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] alan93:
Well did it work for you?? What was your personal experience? You never said!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Frustrating

I now remember how painful it was constantly flashing and troubleshooting my WM 6.5 device. When I run Chevron and my Focus has a blank screen, Chevron detects that so it does communicate with the Focus via USB. However, when I unlock the screen and try to unlock, after ticking the two boxes. Chevron tells me it can't communicate with the device, make sure Zune is running and USB cable is connected. This is very frustrating, what could the issue be?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Loiselle:
As I stated above... this is the method that worked for me.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwill:
You need to actually flash the rom before the 7008 update. Not just hard reset. Basically, roll the rom back, apply the no relock patch found around the forum, and then let your phone update back to 7008 over Zune. I too am trying to get my phone unlocked again as I had a Nodo rom on my phone and of course at the time of flashing it, there was no way to keep the phone from relocking when you updated to 7008 or NoDo. I knew rolling all the way back to stock rom would do the trick, I just thought there may be a way around it since I let my phone update to 7008 today while at work and had everything set up already on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] buffalosolja42:
exactly especially when I had unlocked it so many times before I tried to do the update!!! very bothersome and making me go nuts trying to find out why its not working.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwill:
Well, guess it's not working by going back to the stock rom and unlocking! Problem is, if you got the 7008 update, then Zune was also updated which must have broke Chevron (meaning, the patch must've blocked Chevron through Zune also). IF you try rolling Zune back to an earlier version, then it will try to upgrade as soon as you launch it and will not let you sign in if you don't update. Leading to the problem of your phone not being able to connect since you're not logged in:mad: I just flashed for nothing:(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] buffalosolja42:
Does Chevron go out to the web for access

If that is the case I think that may be the issue of what is going on with the unlock process. I have tried to re unlock my device on 11 different PCs, 9 were built from scratch @ work. So each time it asks me to allow Chevron to go through the firewall I agree and then it says to make sure i am connected to zune and usb blahh... But zune comes up on each system when I connect my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] N8ter:
I guess this doesn't work anymore. UGH, and I really need to change my default internet search to Bing, too :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mwako:
Does NoDo stop changing that as i didn't change the default before i updated ether before i updated *doh*? & homebrew then ? as i'm still able to run / side load xap / apps on NoDo ?

And according to Chev i'm still unlocked.... Weird O.o
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Xenithflare:
Worked for me without an issue on my LG Quantum, ver 7008

check

Not even pre nodo Samsung.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Leapo:
Yup, just ran into this myself.

Unlocked a couple Focus's, went to do one more a couple days ago and ChevronWP7 completely refused to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] holimon82:
You need to put the registry settings back in your phone regs if you change them to prevent re-locking. That may be the cause why it worked for you to unlock it before and it does not now. 7008 unlock works, NoDo unlock does not, yet.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gtdRR:
Has anyone had success unlocking an LG Quantum running 7.0.7004.0?

ChevronWP7 won't work with NODO

So I unlocked my phone and got the pre-nodo and NODO, All was good. The next morning I plugged the usb and went to zune, and it said i had to remove the samsung registry. I have tried everything in this thread and nothing will let me unlock it again. So i am guessing that once you have nodo then chevronWP7 won't work for unlocking anymore right? the reason I am trying to unlock it again is because i want the accent colors XAP. I also tried to restore my phone to its last update and zune gave me an error saying it cannot restore back to its last update (paraphrase of course). So am i basically not going to be able to unlock my phone again because i have NODO. By the way, I have a Samsung Focus AT&T, and Windows 7 32bit. Is there any way I can get the accent color XAP on my phone with unlocking it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 951adg06:
I am having the same problem as far as it unlocking it, then it relocking and now won't unlock because i have NODO. you guys are talking about 7008 rom. What exactly does that mean? I am not a computer person. I tried to update my phone back to before i had NODO and Zune keeps coming up with an error.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] funshyolu:
I think the WP7 developer tools from MS does this, but you can add it in manually (it's a 32bit DWORD)

So how do we manually edit the registry and achieve the above?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ghettocruiser:
UGGHHHHHH...this is completely frustrating.

So...I jumped through hoops to try to unlock my Samsung Focus using my Windows XP machine. No go...nothing. Got Chevron to open and clicked boxes and downloaded tools...just wouldnt work.

So I borrowed my mom's laptop running Windows 7. Spent like an hour installing all the BS developer tools. My phone unlocked first try. SUCESS!!! Or so I thought.

I didnt have time to do anything else, so I figured I would try to side load and reg edit later. Bad idea... Because it relocked upon plugging it back into a PC I guess.

Now...doesnt matter what machine I use, I cant get past the main Chevron screen. And if I close that screen, it wont come back up unless I soft restart the phone.

I really dont want to use that new trick for updating that just surfaced, because there is no way to re-install a previous rom if something messes up. Ide rather unlock, unbrand, and use one of the other tricks through ZUNE.

Gotta be a better way... Or ATT/M$FT could just give me my F'ING UPDATES....

Not sure why Im in such a hurry...doesnt sound like NoDo fixes bluetooth issues...or camera issues..or anything else that I really need fixed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cerato:
This STICKY thread is long ago outdated.... It is endless, useless and boring as well... Same Q's, all the same A's and all the same NO goes... Sorry to being rude if at all, but this topic should've been closed atm if smbd had paid attn to it. Chevy worked 50:50 kicking server out in the blue... Well... MS shut the hole as a whole and frm a jailbreak tool CH7 became kinda workaround for NOT everybody.

I am one of those "chosen escapees" that got out of WP 7jail... heh...but it turned out that up-to-dates are in conflict with MS OS up-to dates...

So my recommendation is... STAY TUNED FOR A REAL "MS PRISON BREAK"";);)
