how did you install windows phone drivers

how did you install the windows phone drivers because when I plug my phone on my computer ( windows Vista 32bit) it just say it just say installing that's it. Also i can't see the phone in Zune no matter what USB port i use or computer. Help would be greatly appreciated. :confused::confused::confused:

Chevron will crash as it needs to write to the host file.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gitanojr:
nothing :(

ok this is my situation:

I have wp7 working on my hd2 including the activation, but something happened:

whenever i tried to open the apps i push using the "Application Deployment" i got a message "microsoft block this app, please uninstall" something like that, then tried to push it again but then got an error: my phone was not unlock.

Connected to pc and run chevron and now im getting the same error as every one, so what happened??

The only change i made to my pc was: installed some windows update, when i checked the history on windows update, there was an updated version of "zune" so is this causing the problem??

what im doing now is uninstalling all the update, all the dev tools "sdk", zune removing key registry, will report back with the results :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gitanojr:

I give up.

No dice over here. Followed every guide on XDA that I could find. Running from C:\ as administrator. All network adapters off. Plane mode on, plane mode off. Time/date correct. Time/date set automatic, set manual. With and with out the SDK (though without the SDK, I couldn't even get the the two check boxes in the preparation check list. It would fail as soon it opened. It would IMMEDIATELY gave me the Uh Oh prompt as soon as I started the app). Made the hosts file read and write. Did the command netstat -aon to make sure nothing was occupying port 443. Tried x86, tried x64, two PCs. Tried a clean windows install. I don't do Skype. Tried reinstalling the cert over and over again. Tried with and without live ID. Made sure the phone synced.

I'm no geohotz or anything, but I'm pretty good at following directions and modding my devices. The varying accounts by so many is a bit odd. Maybe it doesn't like certain usb controllers or something, not sure. Anyway, I have wasted enough with this, back to gigglebread on my HD2.

Maybe I'll revisit this if there is a more consistent method in the future.

I had also tried everything. The only thing that worked for me was to reset the phone. Of course I had to start over again with setting things up.

After this unlocking worked immediately as described everywhere and I used the trick with the "HTC Connection Setup" tool to add the appropriate registry keys that avoid that the phone locks again.

Im on a NetBook and Laptop both running XP Service Pack3, VS2010, and I managed to install WP7 DevTools on one of them. Everything works on the WP7 DevTools except for the emulator, it does say however that I can use it to connect my phone on it but I need to register it. I dont think thats possible since its not an official WP7 device.

My HD2 is on WP7 OSversion 7.0.7004.0

I have not activated live servicess or celular service I used WIFI and downloaded Chevron Cert via email. and then shut off WIFI

I have an activation code via MS and did not want to activate until after I unlock it with Chevron.

I have tried everything I have read on various threads, on 2 machines running XP.

I figure at this point at least for me there are two hopeful possibilities that may come in the future. One is that a ROM is made with a hack so that the phone is or can easily be unlocked, and stay that way. Or the second and more hopeful possibility is that between the team that actually developed chevronWP7 unlocker and MS they reach an agreement. For a tool for devs or something used to unlock WP7 devices easily. In my opinion I dont even care if I have to pay for a (ONE TIME) license key or whatever.

My point is that once thats done were all good to go. Much respect and appreciation goes to the devs cotulla, and DFT who created MAGLDR and the ROM. This device the HD2 is a geeks best friend, with its hack-ability to run so many OSs.

I would like some real feed back from XP users that actually got it unlocked. That information would be valuable to me. Its not a big deal Ill be upgrading soon my B-Days coming soon lol. But form a geek stand point I hate not being able to accomplish certain things that seem only one step away from being accomplished. Anyhow great thread.:)

Guys

Did you not read my post on #59. When you get the Chevron unlocked, then go to the link. Download the tool. put it in the phone. You will never have to use the chevron unlocker again. Problem solved.:eek:

most of the problems are with the date/time. make sure they are correct. do not change the region language. leave it at usa, until you activate the phone, and have the chevron killer in place. then you can change everything with out locking up the phone.

Ok, so after trying all the different hacks listed here and in several other threads, I have finally gotten the unlocker to work.

I didn't disable my network, I didn't enter airplane mode. All I did was this:

Download TCPView from here:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx

Run it, sort the list by local host. When I did this I didn't see the port 443 listed anywhere, but there were several with text instead of port number. And between 400 and 450 where a program called PMB.exe (or something like it).

So I went into Task Manager and shut that process down. And then suddenly to my surprise, chevronwp7 worked! It unlocked my phone finally after days of trying different fixes.

I really hope someone else out there can use this to unlock their phone as well. See ya around!

Chevron will not connect to the phone if your hosts file contains:

Flash wp7

activated

Installed cert and other files to phone from guide, copy file to windows folder, etc

Noticed I had no room to install (SD card wasn't working) so I started over with an 8gig card.

Flashed using same steps, checked and card was working, activated, went through the rest...
