You can flash a pre No do rom and then unlock it but if you have my luck, it'll relock as soon as you update like mine did

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sunnyjanu:
thnx ......

this post relly helped..thnx

found way to fix unable to connect to phone.

you'll have to go to "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" open hosts with notepad.exe and remove line (or lines)

<your old ip> developerservices.windowsphone.com

save it and try to unlock again.

note that on Win Vista, Win 7, you'll have to run notepad.exe as Administrator

help wanted after a weekend trying to activate :)

@ Above me :)

Go to C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe right click and runas:)

But now my problem, I am trying desperately to activate WP7 on my HD 2, but it seems chevron wont work

And I did everything

Checked my register for a registry key added by the dev kit for Windows Phone

Host file, ha...lol, yes thats a funny one, as soon as I connect my phone the line I removed in the good ol DOS box, appears again....removing the whole file didnt worked for me either...

port 443 removed....HA....I even removed the services file for a while

All I get from the Chevron Tool is that he cannot connect with the USB and so on

Can someone give me some pointers here ...cuz....cant see diddly squat here

Thanks in advance

(forgot to mention, I use the TwilightWP7_v1.02.16_HTCHD2 rom)

few things:

- phone software must be before NoDo upgrade

- screen must be unlocked (on tiles)

- put phone in Airplane mode always before connect to Zune

- add this to windows host file and restart computer:

127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone-int.com

127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dxdy:
maybe you not understand... you cant unlock with Chewron if you have NoDo.... you must unlock first before upgrade to Nodo... after upgrade with Zune, phone stay unlocked.... also not bad to always put in Airplane mode to prevent locking again
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] weijoon:
yes, you're perm unlock for now. cuz No-Do fixed the security exploits used by Chevron team, so the exe now cannot build a connection with your phone thus u getting this msg.

Hope this help. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ttblondey:

I have a standard i8700 updated to mango via disconnect-trick.

Is there a way to jailbreak it without going back to nodo or previous state ?

When I try chevronwp7 now it says it has problems communicating with omnia: it's either usb or zune problem.

I installed both the certificate on the phone and samsung device update support tool on the pc (i have wp sdk too)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
No, you can't jailbreak NoDo or newer. You have to roll back.

@sitarumadalin: Read the Interop Unlock thread. You can use the build-in registry editor of LG phones to uplock the phone, prevent relock, and enable ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES apps on Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Sierra76:
Unlocked my phone like 2 days ago using token from Chevronlabs, managed to install 2 apps before it got relocked somehow. Now cannot even unlock it again, some communication problems/"phone ignoring us" - be warned before waste your $9 ppl.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kms108:
it doesn't cost anything to unlock the phone, you've been conned for paying USD 9.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gremsems:
Would you care to explain the conning bit? Where would you get it for free?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kms108:
all the programs you need is from this forum and microsoft's site, and you unlock it from your PC.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rudelm:
Nobody gets conned using ChevronWP7. It is just an official unlock, as if you were using a registered developer unlock. Only difference is, that it is legally unlocked and with Microsofts blessing and that you cannot publish apps to the marketplace. This means you will not get relocked (e.g. updating your OS, loosing the unlock).

Sure, you can also use the tools provided here on XDA, but you will need to invest a little time before you can unlock. And it is currently the only solution to unlock newer phones that cannot be unlocked through our tools here in the forum.

In short: if you got time and are into tinkering: choose the free version from XDA. If you just want unlock to develop your own managed applications, use ChevronWP7. The initial problems will hopefully be gone in the meanwhile.

i use Samsung Focus i917 1.4

I bought a week ago.i installed mango update 2 day before

I could not unlock.

I have read all the articles.

I've tried everything.

does not happen. does not happen. :( :(

I paid $ 9 I got labs.chevronwp7.com token.

I have unlocked the program said.

But 2th,run program "Phone already unlocked externally"

(the money went down the tube)

after

I tried ChevronWP7.exe. constantly following error

Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone

- Please, make sure it's connected using the USB

- Please start the Zune application

ChevronWP7.cer installed.

TCP 443 is not used

host file is not read only

host file does not record

ipconfig / flushdns, I did many times.

I've tried everything.

Even the money I paid. (labs.chevronwp7.com $ 9)

not again.

I was too tired.

Will you please help me one.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] da1stprince:
sure you can use tools on this site and others to unlock for free but, im getting tired of tinkering (had my fill of flashing with the htc touch pro 2) but also i am donating this $9 to the hard work involved in releasing useful programs such as this..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
ChevronWP7 Unlocker (as opposed to ChevronWP7 Labs) does not work on Mango. It doens't even work on NoDo. It doesn't work on any build more recent than 7008. This is very well decumented, but for some reason people keep trying, then come here and act like it should have worked. Folks, do a little research, please?

Now, if the ChevronWP7 Labs unlock isn't working for you, that's another story - but you should really take that up with them. They come by the XDA-Devs website sometimes, but this isn't their support channel or anything like that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
In 4 days the old chevron tool won't work anymore. The expiration date on the certificate is 2011/11/25. If you want to unlock using the old chevron tool on WP7 RTM, you can only do that when you set back the date of your computer and of your phone. Or you can generate new certificates and inject the old private key in the old chevron tool. But it still will only work on WP7 RTM. You can better just buy a new Chevron Labs token.

Ciao,

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tuberide:
I see you appear to be on TMobile here in the US like myself. If so, could you please help me? I finally kicked my touchpro2 with $4.99 tzones to the curb and got a stock Tmobile branded HD7 yesterday and have fully updated via Zune to Mango WP7.5 (OS version 7.10.7720.68). After those updates I also rec'd a HTC update via zune.

Ive been trying to sort through 50 threads to decide what my best option is regarding roms / dev/interop unlock etc etc. Basically I mainly would just like to be able to access HTC Connected Media app for the ability to use DLNA. I have a .xap (Connected_Media_v1.0.0.0.xap) here that someone posted in another thread which I see is basically like CAB files were for pre WP7 devices.

I guess it would be best to dev/interop/app unlock my HD7 with something like chevron so that I can have the ability to uitilize other xpas in the future if I need to? Or maybe not , anyway I just hoped maybe youd have some advice - I def would appreciate it!

loving my HD7 with mango...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tuberide:
Awesome reply GoodDay - cant thank you enough! Your overview was exactly what I needed after hours of researching all the various threads on these same subjects -- answered alot of my questions/concerns.

I was feeling the same as you basically about probably not even worth it to flash a different ROM, it really doesnt seem necessary with WM7.5 (at least not for me) , as long as I can fairly easily/safely dev unlock, I can pretty much tweak/enable everything necessary....

Here is my experience after doing all updates to Mango and HTC update: in Windows Marketplace, it would show Connected Media but gave an error code (didnt note it but it was not saying "wrong device" type of message). Then in HTC hub market it wasnt there at all - not sure if thats normal? So I rolled back all the system updates including the HTC update and tried the markets again and still no go...

..ok 2 hours later and I have reinstalled Mango updates but I cancelled the HTC update before it could auto-install and sure enough, Connected Media and Connection Setup were there and downloadable in Marketplace>HTC Apps !! So now I am afraid to do the HTC update, though that appears to be necessary if I want wireless Internet Sharing (which I of course do). Im afraid if I get the HTCupdate that I will break CS and CM .... any thoughts?

Also I went to chevron labs page earlier and was kind of spooked with the whole "allow chevron to see email addresses in your profile" deal... Why is that necessary? I had read some peoples problems re: the tokens and OS compatibilty stuff..still trying to sort through that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] EnderPsp:
Someone should update the opening post with the latest info

The Chevron certificate is now expired, was valid for 1 year, until 25 Nov 2011.

To unlock with Chevron now:

- disconnect the PC from internet

- set the date prior to 25 November 2011 (bun no more than 1 year back: say 1 Oct 2011)

- set the same date on the phone as on PC

- reconnect PC to internet

- connect the phone, run chevron and unlock

Btw, I just tested this on my 1.3 Focus since I installed a Transcend 32gb Class 4 card (it works).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ddriver:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] NebZoNe:
actually, chevron unlocker is still working on first gen devices with 7004/7008 rom, just a little manip with cert's dates and pc'time setting (offline)...

Edit: GoodDayToDie is totally right!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
yeah you are right. it works on my hTc 7 pro 1gen. device. with A nodo ROM i think all before 7720 you can unlock with chevron. i managed it with 7392 7004 7008... but i am not sure about the 7720.

all the magic is the time and date :D all you need is to date your phone to last year before november i think, so september august june july... and so with you PC. (and set the same time thats important ) :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Umm... 7389, 7390, and 7392 can't be unlocked with the original ChevronWP7 tool. They won't allow the use of a user-installed certificate (i.e. the cert you install as part of the whole process) during unlocking. I would be *extremely* surprised if you actually managed in on 7392 with a stock ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kudia:
Megaupload was closed. Can anyone upload chevronWP7.exe again?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] i_mendes:
Well, i read all the 111 pages of this topic. Tried all the tips. Nothing worked. I have a Samsung Omnia 7 with Nodo 7004. I was about to give up. Then I tried a last attempt:

- c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (not read-only)

- Phone in Airplane mode

- Turn off internet connection on pc

- Set the date on pc to 1-10-2011

- Set the phone date to 1-10-2011

- Turn on internet connection on pc

- Ajust the hour in both

- Connect phone to pc

- Open Zune (if not started)

- Wait until it detects phone

- Run WP7Chevron as Administrator

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I was lucky...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Yow, that was a lot of effort... why not just use Windowbreak? It's a lot faster, doesn't require rolling back to build 700X, applies interop-unlock at the same time (max unsigned apps), applies don't-relock at the same time, and works just fine on your model of phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SuperSport:
Hehehe, was wondering the same...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LeTo08:
Here you go = http://dl.free.fr/aB9u8NyYs
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
i managed it on 7392. i had an 7004 stock rom, updated then to 7008 then 7392 and then applied the unlock from chevron. on my htc 7 pro work it to 7392. but now i have no worries any more :) i have a new tech rom from ansar that keeps the unlock after a hard reset!!! updateable and just the perfect thing :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
That's... *really* weird. The security bug that the original unlocker used was patched well before 7392. It should have behaved as though you forgot to install the certificate, because from the unlocker's perspective, you never did install it (the fix was to prevent the use of user-installed certificates for unlocking).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] suua:
