Worked like a charm on XP with the AT&T version.

My new GTOUB1A130730/Build 13505 is defying root also with the same message on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I am thinking of trying SuperOneClick running under Linux, anyone have a suggestion for which distro to try?

Nevermind, it decided to work finally, SuperOneClickv1.5.4-ShortFuse worked this time, I wasted about 4 hours on it yesterday and nothing, today after posting it worked on the first try. Oh well. Now for Gingerbread!
[Dell Venue] Omnichron:
try to your phone and then run Gingerbreak http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=578771&d=1303829207 it may take a couple of minutes to do it:)
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
I am thinking of getting have ordered a Venue and was wondering if anyone has successfully rooted the 325 build yet?
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
Has anyone with one of the newer builds tried this method? I came across it because it works on my Vizio tablet.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
I'm not sure if "put executable in /data/local and run it" counts as an exploit, but if it allows you to install stuff that it doesnt matter.

What it does is essentially change ro.secure to 0 so you can remount system, once you have system in rw mode rooting is as simple as pushing su to /system/bin or /xbin and setting permissions, which is also what the script does.

If you want to test, try on your streak with 360 installed (since i know you have one marvin), if it works on 360 i would expect it to work on 325
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
I don't have one of the later basebands on my Venue, I have 30730-US which rooted with gingerbreak. I was offering it as a suggestion for those with the newer basebands/builds and for the ones who have the Gingerbread ROM.

I may test it on BB 360 on the Streak later and update here and in the Streak forums.

BTW - If anyone wants to try it putting the latest version of the zergrush exploit in the exploits folder on SuperOneClick 2.2 is also supposed to work.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Hopefully if it works someone can make a dump of 325 before they go bricking their device.
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
Excellent point!
[Dell Venue] marvin02:
zergRush did not work on the Streak with BB 360. :(
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
Actually, if someone with 325 installed was willing to contact me on irc, I could prob whip up a pre-rooted 325 rom.

I could also generate a image set for it.

It'd have to be realtime chat though, I takes forever to get anything done though pms.
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
Manii, if you're in a similar time zone as I am (CST, USA) then we can work something out. I have 325 ROM on my Venue and will probably reset it just so that you can get the most stock files. Let me know what time works for you and I will see if I can accommodate your schedule.
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
As long as you're not rooted, it's not relevent what is on your venue as you cant modify /system (and that's all that's important)

I'm available from ~2pm-late nights @EST

If you can meet me whenever on #dellstreak on freenode I can walk you though dumping 325, it's not particularly difficult, just that as you cant root it will take half a dozen extra steps to dump boot/recovery too
[Dell Venue] streak4m3:
No, my Venue is not rooted. I can try set some time off tonight. After 4-5PM EST. I've never used freenode. Do I need to signup/register for this chat service?
[Dell Venue] TheManii:
All you need is an irc client, there's plenty of web based ones too.

Works for Me!

Thanks for that, and the description of why it happens.

Whenever my phone re-locks - and it's probably when I forget to put it in Flight Mode when syncing - I've had one hell of a time unlocking it again... hours of trying all the tips on the forum. (but no asking, I can read)

For this one, I mailed the new cert to the phone & installed it, edited the PC HOSTS File and rebooted PC & Phone.

I then left my NIC Enabled, Antivirus Enabled - all as normal, and left the phone NOT in Flight Mode.

I connected up to zune, installed an app from the market and unplugged the phone.

Yes.. it had re-locked.

So I plugged the phone back in, ran Chevron and bang! Unlocked again straight away.

Looking good so far....

I take it this only works if you managed to unlock already and it relocked

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] G-ThGraf:
doesn't works for me !!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
Once you locked yourself out of your phone by changing the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt, the only thing that can save you is a hard reset. Changing the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to a different address prevents MS from being able to relock your phone, that's why people were including it in their HD2 to HD7 identification script, but the negative affect is if somehow your phone became locked again it could never be unlocked again, because ChevronWP7 works with only one address "developerservices.windowsphone.com". My method should allow you to continue to unlock using "developerservices.unlock.me" if somehow your phone becomes relocked. By changing the url, it minimizes the chances of your phone becoming locked again, but I suspect there's something in the background in the Zune software that relocks the phone as well.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] poceh:
So after applying the above fix it still re-locks the device if you connect it to Zune and didn't put the phone in flight mode, can anyone confirm?

Is there a solution for dynamic IPs as well? How should the hosts file be edited in this case?

ok nice work.. but not sure if its for me

could i get some help please, i dont ask much only when im really stuck.

i installed and activated wp7 already, got it fully working, apps an all

then i flashed a stock 6.5 rom because i checked out a nand android build.

Then realised u can dual boot android and wp7.....

so i re-installed wp7, installed the cert again went through zune after unins/installing zune

but for the love of god all im getting is the cant find phone ..make sure zune is running/usb blah blah blah aggghhh.

obviously i have hard reset, sure ive completely re-installed the thing...

would this registry edit effect me do u think and if not what do u think is it??

ive reinstalled zune, tried with internet on/off on pc and device, time sync is off ,

and time is correct, ive tried it in american region and uk and ive registered a

new zune account but nothing works... spent like 6 hours at this already im

about to have a breakdown.. please help guy.. oh and if i have to edit

reg files theres no device showing in hkey/microsoft so whats goin on ???
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
If you used "developerservices.unlock.me" you would have to change it manually in the hosts file if your dynamic IP changed. So if your router has a 24 hour lease for your LAN side it could be 192.168.1.10 one day and then 192.168.1.15 the next. You would have to change it appropriately. Or if you have your internet going straight into your computer via aircard/cable modem or what not you would have to do the same.

ChevronWP7 attempts to do this modification to the hosts. file automatically for the address of "developerservices.windowsphone.com". You can see this when it runs, it changes the host file to your current IP or if you have no connections up it uses localhost: 127.0.0.1.

in the same boat, had windows 7 unlocked and activated fine, hard reset to dual boot, but now I get the uh uh error even with the screen locked

*** edit***

let me clarify, I had the phone unlocked using the original cert and chevron, was working fine. reset phone, in maglr I deleted the windows section of the sd, created a partition, basically went through till my windows part said I had 4gigs of my 8gig card to work with, tried to unlock and nothing, tried installing this cert and changing the host files and still the uh oh error, even with the screen locked, so now it's not communicating at all I think, gonna try hard resetting with the card to unlock again and se if it changes, but I'm thinking the benefits of wp7 are no where near worth all this trouble, it wasn't even all that great when it was working :(

well, if you have any ideas I'd be happy to hear them

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] guamhtc:
Does the Zune software only lock the phone if you use it to install something from the market while the phone still has data connection?

So, am I right to assume that if i have the airplane mode on whenever I connect to Zune, that I shouldn't lock anymore correct? Will, it lock if I use it to just transfer pictures and music?

Also, if it does lock, will it affect the ability to install apps and games from the market with my data connection or wifi?

Just wondering, because I finally got the phone to work fully after manually editing the registry. HTC Connectoin set-up does not work with my network, so I used Touchxperience Registry Editer. Awesome app...couldn't download from market without it.

Hope someone has answers to my questions? Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
When you connect your device to your pc, your phone will relock, whether you put it in flight mode or not....i have tried many things.

It is easily unlocked however by editing your hosts file or deleting the entry once zune is connected and saving. You can then run chevron unlocker.

The problem i have is keeping it unlocked. I have tried the unlock.xap etc and unfortunately it still relocks. There must be a service running in the background of zune that relocks and makes a new entry in the host file.

I have edited the host file to ....unlockme..., installed cert etc etc and once connected to zune, bang.. instant relock.

Im looking into it in more detail but im running short of ideas.

Found a possible solution to this locking issue.

I have been scratching my head and losing a lot of hair over this. I finally was able to run the chevron unlocker after reading through numerous threads and none seemed to work for me. I finally just connected via wifi through my hd2 and went to this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=911579&highlight=unlocker) through my phone's browser and installed the chevron certificate file directly from step #4 into the phone.

Next I reran the chevron unlocker with zune running and viola! It FINALLY unlocked for me.

If you needed to reset your phone for any reason, save your activation key provided by Microsoft on your computer or somewhere safe to prevent the hassle of contacting them multiple times! I was able to reuse the same key with my Live info and it reactivated my phone back on to the live services!

Hope this is helpful to somebody out there having these issues! If so hit the thanks button!;)

I have a problem after trying this method.

I have unlocked HD2 with Chevron without any problems. Because I was affraid of relocking I tried this method with new certificate and with changes in registry to address "developerservices.unlock.me". I made this changes with HTC-ProvXml-Deploy0.0.1 and unlockme_rgu_provxml.zip file. Without typing it in registry.

After that I tried to lock phone back with Chevron ;-) to test this method. The phone locked itself, but could not unlock. I have reset the phone to commit changes in registry, but situation is same.

I have problem with Chevron giving me an error message "Chevron has experienced a problem and is closing".

As i can see from topic

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925889

there is something wrong with permissions. I have user with administrator rights, and tried every posibility with ticking on advanced permisions, but still having problem. If Chevron can write into hosts file there is Uh ah window, if chevron canot write to hosts file, it closes itself.

I do not understand what is the idea how Chevron can work with "developerservices.unlock.me" in hosts file, if you say that it works only with "developerservices.windowsphone.com".
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
That error message appears when Read Only permissions have been set to the host file, check that.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Silberpfeil3110:
At first this story sounds good but i could never work...!?

I changed my phone to unlock.me in registry. OK No problem, also installed the unlockme certificate... But why should this work, as long as chevron want to connect to windowsphone.com? I tried everything to reunlock me phone and nothing works, i came to the conclusion that it must the because of reg changing to unlockme. Someone has to edit chevron to connect to unlockme. Unless this tweak it could never work , chevron edits the hosts file everytime you want to unlock. it doesn't matter if the file is empty or edited or deleted. chevron creates the windowsphone.com line everytime.

Anyone has a solution for that prob?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
Hey there,

Where you chevron unlocked before you tried this? THe reg edit you have done is not the reason you cannot unlock, its how you have set up the hosts file.

Chevron needs read/execute permissions for your username to unlock, but nothing more. I have tested Chevron and tried to unlock with different permissions, such as read only....in this case it will not unlock.

If you have ticked write permissions the hack will not work. It is important to that the host file is set correctly, you can read the step by step guide, linked in the first post.

I am going to take some screen shots shortly to add to the guide so you can see what should be selected and how you get there.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Silberpfeil3110:
Yes before these steps my phone was unlocked without problems. I know woth Read/Only it will crash. And I've done everything from the first post but that can't change anything because Chevron always adds a new line with other names. You don't have to guide me further i'm not a newbie i know what i do and i know that it don't works :/.

Doesn't matter because i have to reflash wp7 because of using a new sdcard.

But thanks anyway :) !
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] djind:
I tried the OP's way first and it worked. Then I decided to use a different card for WP7 and upon reflash it didn't work. But this (chevron from step 4) did the trick.. unlocked, activated and ready to go again.. THNX to the both of yous..

When I tried the OP's way, host file kept updating itself with windowsphone developerservice.. and thus nullifying the developerservices.unlock.me..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bteljuice:

I never unlocked it and Chevron is giving me an error "please run zune and connect usb"

What is wrong?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
It shouldn't matter what ChevronWP7 updates because you should have already defined developerservices.unlock.me in your hosts. file for the address of your computer. If you update the registry on the phone, it's what it's looking for, not the "developerservices.windowsphone.com". So ChevronWP7 can do what it wants with that the address for "developerservices.windowsphone.com", because it doesn't affect it because we told the phone to look for unlock.me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:

Hey guys, I read the hole thread and followed the developement of wp7 on hd2 for a long time.

This kind of trick doesn't work for me. I installed the certificate, change the hosts and done exactly but it doesn't work, because, I cannot edit the regisrty on a locked phone, no sideload apps work on a locked phone. So no registry tool oder provxml work, touchxplorer or other sideload apps work on the phone.

So could somebody please tell me how to edit the registry on a locked phone?

Thx guys...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] timmymarsh:
Hey,

You caant edit the reg with a locked device, you must be unlocked first.

Now you can unlock temporarily in several ways, its a bit of trial and error. Try method one in my guide here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925889 . You will need to conect your device, ensure zune is running and then alter your host file (as in method two) but ensure you have put your device into airplane mode. Delete/alter the host file as required using the 127.0.0.1 trick.

Email and install the chevron cert to ur device. If the host file is correctly edited and saved, it will not state your ip address with the url after it but will only state the 127xxxx and url after.

You should then be able to use chevron unlock. Once unlocked, use method 2 to keep it unlocked. If you disconnect and reconnect it inthe meantime it will probably lock again. It took a lot of playing around to unlock my device, then use the xap's and reg trick to keep it unlocked.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] olegblochin:
I know that's the point why the trick here doesn't work to re-unlock. Because with the registry tweak you cannot edit the registry after relock.

I reflashed wp7, everything is working fine now.

Edit:

After reflashing it the second time, because of the same issue raised after doing a relock prevention from the two methods thread, i decide to not perform a relock prevention. Unlocking needs about 15 sec. thats no wasted time for me!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DanielNTX:
The registry edit in the second method does let you re-unlock. That's the whole point.
