tried and failed

i feel you man, i'm desperate too...

tried and failed

believe me, i have read and tried EVERY solution including this one:

http://www.codingware.com/

and no chance for me...

the funny thing is i did it before, right after my 1st wp7 flash and it worked brilliantly.

downloaded from marketplace, installed a few apps through application deployment... everything went just fine!

...and then i decided i want android on my sd card too...:)

so i went all over again by the book but now i can't unlock wp7 anymore :(

i think my last chance is to reinstall wp7 sdk and zune, hard reset the phone in wp7 and try again. i won't give up, not when i know i did it once...:mad:

to look at the positives, at least i've learned how to make them both (android and wp7) work on my sd card :cool:

cheers guys and sorry for my unnecessary intrusion
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] candytripn:
well thanks, but didn't work for me, tried deleting the files from the hosts file, and still the dreaded uh oh error...

same as this one

my first flash went just fine (well, almost, had to repartition my hd, install windows 7, switch back to xp to download drivers, switch to 7 to download the sdk, fun stuff like that:rolleyes:) but I think I said that earlier. Oh wells gotta keep trying till something else comes up.

the chevron app is soo irritating !! im not gonna bash it but i phycally wish i could!!! Its just very inconsistent and because of that one app im goin back to android..i was able to unlock it once and didnt kno there was a way to keep it unlocked...tried to unlock it again and it was a no go..i hope there is a fix or a different way to unlock without using chevron in the soon future because id love to use wp7 to its full potential..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
Reason why it's not working

Here's the major why unlocking isn't working for many:

If you unlock your phone once and it worked in the beginning because these strings were correct:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"

If you changed the strings to prevent locking by either nulling or setting it to 127.0.0.1, you will never be able to unlock it ever again because it doesn't know what to query if null and 127.0.0.1 is the phone itself and not the computer if it becomes locked again.

Example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""

What ChevronWP7 does is run a secure http webserver on 443 to handle and send a response from the phone to query, hey should I be unlocked. The address of developerservices.windowsphone.com is spoofed on the local computer in the host. file to redirect it to ChevronWP7's webserver.

My recommendation is to change the urls to like developerservices.unlock.me which doesn't exist like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https:/developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"

And then edit the hosts. file with an entry for developerservices.unlock.me with your computer's IP address.

You will be able to unlock 'til your hearts content because your phone can still contact the spoofed HTTPS server on ChevronWP7.

I read the thread from start to finish to attempt to get chevron to unlock my phone again. It would not work.

I decided to reset my phone to factory data and redo the process from the start. This worked no problems. Just make sure you install the unlockit fix prior to activating your phone and to do all your housecleaning prior to activating. Once your phone is activated, chevron does not seem to work. I am up to 5 activations by now and no problems.

Also, if you want to test some stuff out, you can actually make spare sd cards and use those for a test.

Get the easus software in the 1st post of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/show...57&postcount=1

and make a copy of the wp7 partition to another card by following the instructions there. You do not need to copy android you only need the base 200 mb fat 32 partition and the wp7 unallocated partion. I accidently locked my phone with chevron while activated and switched back to another my spare sd card and it was unlocked. It seems the lock is stored on the sd card.

Again, try this at your own risks and peril ...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] stefanfuchsuk:
My phone has been unlocked with ChevronWP7, I can verify this because when I run it again it prompts to RE-LOCK but the issue I’m having is trying to deploy the XAP files once I start TomXAP.

The first time I tried all of this it did work and I managed to load the XAP’s using the deployment tool from the developers software but a few days afterwards when I tried using the apps I got an error saying that MS is revoking the application.

My struggle now is to get an XAP to install because when I start Tom XAP and run the XAP file it says installing but shortly afterwards it says:

1.)Make sure your phone was unlocked

2.)Please make sure you connected device to PC and Zune launched.

When this happens my phone is visible in ZUNE and not on the lock screen.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

yes i now its a omnia 7, but i guess its similiar

Step4

my phone is registered as "GUEST" on my Zune..

how do you get it on full sync like the picture below?

is that even neccesary?

Zune account sign in?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] WaveMaster1406:
I've simply installed Zune, modified the reg key

and done the rest!

Works well for me! And my HD2 is unlocked!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] birel3107:
I just have two questions:

1) Is there any coding activity going on concerning a new version of Chevron?

2) The Chevron version mentioned in this thread is working with all languages, e.g. german, isn't it?!

I hope everyone understands what I'm talking about :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Bones4:
I can't even get Chevron to open anymore. It's giving me the error first.

I'm about to rip my own face off.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] candytripn:
not sure if yours is the same issue as mine, and I still haven't got it figured out, but I got somewhere, maybe someone can take it from there :)

I finally got my phone unlocked and activated again, running awesome, downloading apps, I'm loving it like a fat kid loves cheese burgers. Then I see some awesome homebrew type apps and go to install (error error error)

F off, I try everything and nothing, try deleting the host files, reinstalling everything and can't unlock this stupid phone again. I missed something.

Finally just said screw it and reset the phone, and started over.

Check C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

copy the files "hosts" to desktop, open with text editor, remove any lines that say developerservices.windowsphone.com

rebooted, plugged phone in, synched with zune, looked again at the hosts files (blast it's back again, deleted)

re ran the unlocker and bingo! Think it was mentioned before (here or somewhere else) that once activated the unlocker (for some reason more technical than I can grasp right now, just started into college for software development and only in gen ed ;p ) will not work.

Give it a try and you should prolly get it, I've struggled with this for days to get where it is and starting to get the hang of it.

Next step is to find that fix I keep hearing about (but can't find via search) that prevents the phone from locking again.

Please, someone chime in if you have a link to that as I can't find it and my drunken fingers are not playing nice with the 30 second wait between searches :)

hope it helps

think I found it, just incase anyone needs a point in the right direction

First of all, thanks for helping. I've already removed those lines. It did nothing. I've tried nearly every "fix" I've heard of. I'm thinking some of these fixes could work if Chevron would just open. Like I said, I'm getting the connection error before it even opens.

Just wanted to say thanks DanielNTX, after trying for hours like every one else, I came across your post and this worked for me!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
You're welcome. I've been debugging this a little more and found out that you have to have a valid root certificate for the server you make up.

For example the chevron certificate is:

You have to make a self signed root cert for the url you make up. The .net utilities has a makecert.exe utility to do this or if you have openssl, you can issue yourself a certificate. In my example above, you would have to make a certificate for "developerservices.unlock.me".
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
I've posted the instructions a new certificate and included a certificate for "developerservices.unlock.me" in this thread.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
The team that originally coded Chevron has discontinued it and removed it and the certificate from their website. They had a meeting with Microsoft last week and I doubt they will code a new version.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Mr.Butthead:
This is what worked for me :

Apparently the Window$ Phone Developer Tools weren't installing correctly.

When you run the exe, nothing happens.

Do the following :

- Extract the "vm_web.exe" file with f.ex. winrar.

- Close all programs.

- Run the extracted "setup.exe"

Hopefully this helps for some people !

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TecHunter:
For those having issues unlocking remember this :

-disable antivirus and firewall

-remove every lines but 127.0.0.1 localhost in your /windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts

-disable pin

-sync your Zune with the phone

-disable every network cards (if you still have issues)

-close all browsers, skype whatever internet/network enabled.

Cleaning the hosts and disabling the network cards resolved my issues.

I was wondering if anyone (a developer) would be interested in porting OSU! the rhythm game for android. The ipad/iphone port is already made, but due to lack of developers, the Android version hit the stag.

For those of you who don't know, Osu! is basically like stepmania in that you could download beatmaps, but is based on Elite Beat Agents, a DS rhythm game that uses very intuitive touchscreen controls.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
I KNOW!

does your phone just soft reboot every 5 minutes? like it doesn't show the whole vibrant screen, just the tmobile and stuff.

i had this problem when i was on stock, and i called tmobile (didnt know about xda yet) and they told me to go boot into recovery, then choose... clear user data or something, and that erased everything(except sim and sd card ofc.) and fixed it, try that?

else, start using ODIN, to fix possibly every non-hardware issue.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
if you are able to get into download mode, i suggest you odin back is the best answer i can give you, and if that doesn't solve your problem, call tmobile and return it for another new/refurb(most likely a refurb)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flonkas:
I do not think theres a problem with the phone because this only started happening once I installed a custom rom. Im thinking I just messed up somewhere.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
every once in a while you must odin back to stock and start flashing, because if you keep flashing roms over and over without odin, they all leave behind a little bit of data, which keeps bugging the new version you have, and so on.

Turn off phone, take battery out.

get a computer, get your usb cord.

take battery out

plug in usb to a turned on computer

after usb, hold ONLY AND BOTH volume buttons.

while holding the buttons put in the battery.

it should now show a android digging with a yellow sign.

if your there, you can fix it, if not, try a few times again, and if you absolutely cannot get it to do this, then you have a hardware locked vibrant, which i don't know much about.

If you DO get on the download mode( yellow android digging)

download the Samsung Drivers if you don't already have them, you may need to re-do everything i said up there again so the computer regcognizes your phone.

open odin while your phones in download mode, on the top does it say COM3, COM5 etc? any number at end is good, but if it says COM it means the computer has recognized your phone thats a good job.

now you need to download 2-3 more files which will take you to stock, unrooted everything like that.

Well... if you're definition of battery drain extremely fast is 10-12 hours then that's all you're going to get, deal with it. But if somehow you're getting like 4-6 around this area that's not normal.

Make sure you have GPS and WIFI OFF and bluetooth also when you're not using them.

Use titanium backup pro to freeze all the apps you don't use, especially preinstalled apps like wifi calling and the like.

Or, wipe battery stats and recondition or use this link to flash stock rom and this should fix any unknown problems

Lately my HTC Desire HD's wifi has not been working without reason.

Nothing has been changed, settings, etc...

It will not even connect to my home wifi at all, even though the reception is 5/5.

I connect wifi, then when I try to connect to my network, it says connecting, then it says obtaining ip address for a while, then goes back to disconnected.

It's when it get's to the ip address, it does not want to obtain one, why??

How can I fix/solve this problem?

Hey everyone,

So I have been having problems connecting my evo to my bluetooth fm transmitter for my car (I can't post links yet, but it is on amazon, the gogroove flexsmart x2) ever since I switched from cm6.1.2 to miui 12.31. The transmitter was working perfectly, and my phone would pair and connect to it flawlessly, however, when I switched to miui, it didn't work at all. It would just not connect, no matter what I did. So I tried switching kernels around, and none of them worked (I tried about 3 kernels on cyanogen before I switched to miui, and switching didn't cause any issues). So I decided to go back to cyanogen, yet my bluetooth didn't work when I restored to a nandroid backup. Bluetooth still wasn't working. So then I went into clockwork and wiped my data/cache and installed the latest cm6 and bluetooth worked. Excited, I installed all of my applications, got my settings right, and installed a different kernel. When I switched kernels to try out a savage one, my bluetooth wouldn't connect. Nothing would work to bring that back, so I deleted my data/cache again and got it to work. Everything worked fine, but I wanted a different kernel, so I tried putting on snap 7.6, and it won't work anymore. I am not entirely sure what to do. I can re-install cm6 by clearing my data/cache, but I want to know why I can't use any other kernels that worked previously. Any suggestions?

Recently, I posted on cyanogen forums, and someone said to use Calkulin's format all zip as well as clear davlik cache. That didn't wok. I also tried going onto a sense rom and installing a sense kernel which didn't work either. I'm not entirely sure what to do. The thing that bothers me the most, not that I can't be on a different kernel than the stock cm6 one, it is that I don't have the option to change, but I did before.

Thanks so much for any help!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiicytuna:
Almost sounds like it may be a hardware problem. Most of the software fixes I would suggest you've already tried with no luck. Keep in mind hardware can fail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Penuingamer:
I would think that it is a hardware problem, but I am lead to believe it is something dealing with the kernel because when I am on a stock cm6 kernel, it works, but when I change the kernel, it fails.

EDIT: Also, would you recommend maybe unrooting my phone and completely resetting it?

[Wildfire General] FordT:
I think this is expected behaviour. I just also had a problem to get app2sd started, and found your post. My final output (after I realized I had to mount all the partitions ;-) looked very much the same.

The important part is "Moving applications to SD card" which worked without problems. the failure of "Moving private apps to SD card" may be, because you don't have any private apps (i.e. bought and paid through the Market). I use only free apps, so I'm not bothered by that error. When I now look at the phone from my Ubuntu, I clearly see that the apps are on the SD-Ext3. The free phone memory also tripled from below 20 to almost 60 MB. So everything is fine.

Cheers,
