**** ain't working ...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sdnsilva:
I managed to flash the original rom from my HD7, but still can not unlock it. Even disabling all the https protocol through the manager it gives the program encountered an error and needs to close.

Anyone help?

I'm using version 7.0.7008.0, I have the certificate on the device and has already changed the windows registry with the key 32-bit dword.

I can not edit the hosts file, my windows does not give me permission to move it, change it or delete it.

What should I do? I am absolutely lost.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
What jammed me up for a long time was my anti virus and firewall. Chevron Needs to have full access. Even though I'm supposed to get a notification when a program is trying to access the internet it never did. I had to manually add the rule in ESET for chevron to connect to my phone. Always got that same check if the phone is unlocked etc, etc.

Did that then followed directions from the first couple posts and unlocked two TMOUS hd7's using the 1.20 rom with build 7004.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LordM:
Did you update your phone after unlocking? Then it's clear, as chevronWP7 isn't able to communicate with NoDo Versions and above.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sdnsilva:
I try to use the phone windows device manager and it shows me the following message: "TouchXperience version 1.3.2.0 or later is require. Please unnintall the current version of TouchXperience"...

What should I do? Already downloaded again the phone windows device manager but still showing the same message

Seeing the site TouchXperience he asks for a download .reg file to fix this error, but here it did not work ... I disabled my firewall, anti-virus but still it refuses to connect to my device.

Details, When I connect my HD7 to windows without TouchXperience app installed he downloads and installs. I see that it has connectivity with my device, but it does not work as it should.

Any tips?

What do you mean by it doesn't work as it should?

So I finally managed to unlock the phone after few hours of struggling, flashing and stuff... and this F*CKIN relock problem is pissing me off! I got in device reg and added the 2 new values, reset the phone and THEY ARE GONE AS MY PHONE LOCKED AGAIN ... Why is this thing trolling me so f*ckin much??? PLEASE HELP ! How can I stop it from relocking? There was a thread in which it said about some provxml stuff but I cant remember which thing should I rename as the author (of course he would do that) deleted just the thing I need...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LordM:
What kind of phone do you have? Did you try Advanced Config?

There you can click the option to prevent the phone from relocking.

How to edit registry?

Hi, I will like to fix the problems I have with my SD card on my Focus. I’m not an advance user and I will like to know how I can edit the Registry? Thank you...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FishFaceMcGee:
I found the issue. You have to make sure your Hosts file is not set to read-only. It's in your windows/system32/drivers directory. Just search using the search bar in Windows Explorer.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] epic30seven:
Can't get it to work, looks easy enough but no go.

Howdy been trying this for a little while now and just can't get it to work.

First problem is that I can't install the Windows Phone Developer Tools, keep getting:

"Setup could not install the following component:

Microsoft Application Error Reporting"

Installing chevronwp7.cer works fine, chevronwp7.reg works fine but can't connect to phone when running chevronwp7.exe

Any ideas? Do I need the dev tools for the rest to work? or just to do extra stuff. I'll want it eventually but unlocking the phone would be an awesome 1st step.

Cheers

Just found the Dev Tools ISO going to try that and see if it works go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=201927

same problem
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Graveworm:
Hi Guys.

Can anyone help me what exactly I have do to in the registry:

for example here:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]

"PortalUrlProd"=""

"PortalUrlInt"=""

When I open DeviceReg I see

Value Name:

[Default]

Do I have to write "PortalUrlProd"="" into the field [Value Data] with or without "" ""?

What happens with the Value Type: there I have [String]

Where do I write the second part ("PortalUrlInt"="")

New key? New value?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dudikovich:
I know this may sound redundant -- but how do I make a value out of those strings of numbers? I've no experience here whatsoever, and want desperately to enter the field. Namely, how does 2684395520 make 0xA000A000, and how can I make that, say, a C666C666 (obviously using the volume edit for a reference, I know that's 15)? Is there a hex value generator, or some such, that can translate the values, or is there a method to doing this myself? Of course, I could be going about it the wrong way, in which case, I apologize for seeming foolish.

Also, I've changed the Lock option on my Samsung Focus to "0" (the 'Never Time-out' modification), and I still don't have the 'Never' option. Am I perhaps doing something wrong? The app is undoubtedly modifying registry values, I've already played around with a few UI elements.

Hi guys,

I manage to unlock my phone but I have problems instaling Windows Phone 7 Developer tools.

It give me an error every time that "The Visual Studio cannot run in compability mode".

Does anyone has any ideq why is that?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] metroidnemesis13:
Hey man.

What version of Windows are you running? Also, make sure you downloaded the x64 bit version for x64 bit Windows, etc.

It literally took 5 hours to install dev. tools. I have a late ver. MacBook Pro. I really think their install is typical M$ bloatware. Keep trying. I'm running x64 Windows 7 Ultimate and I had no errors aside from the 5 hour install.

Also you might try uninstalling any previous version of Visual Studio. Thank me if this helps flynhy.

Also Mr. writer of this guide: could you please be more specific as to what part of the registry key to edit (IE string field, etc). I think it is a great guide. Best I've seen. *thanks*

Questions

I've got two questions,

1) I was linked to this thread from another in the Samsung Focus category regarding data/MMS. The post in that thread suggests to install samsung tool application, run check all options.

a)Where is application, can't see it in initial post?

b)can someone describe a little more procedure once in the tool application

2) If i use this chevron hack/samsung tool app to get my data/MMS on my Focus with Bell SIM to work properly, is there long term repercussions. I.e. will I be banned from updating my phone/using live services/purchasing from marketplace, because MS has detected it's hack, is there some sort of permanent trail left on the phone?

Thanks

AdvanceConfig provxml

I'm really new to the WP7 homebrew scene, and I wanted a bit of clarification if possible please. How would one upload a provxml file to the device and run it using AdvanceConfig v1.1.0.1 beta?

From the description in the post (on the official website of TouchXperience), it says you can email yourself the .xml file but how do you get the advanceconfig to open it? or does it just associate the .xml file?

Any clarification would be helpful thanks.

Right click on the program you are launching, click properties, navigate to the compatibility tab, uncheck the box that says run this program in compatibility mode. If this area cannot be unchecked, click change settings for all users at the bottom first.

Seems like I'm not the first one to experience relocking issues after the last Zune update.

I cant get Chevron to connect, the connection dies in tcpview and Chevron tells me that it cant connect and that I should check Zune and blah.

All apps I had installed using sideloading (before I had my live-account fixed, thanks MS!) are now unable to run, says that it has been revoked by Microsoft.

Anyone else having these issues or can point me in the right direction where to look for a solution?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] __ow:
Mine did relock as well. Though only after a few hours, and to my knowledge without being connected to a computer. Managed to get sideloading working with the deployment tool by setting the DeveloperUnlockState registry value that's listed in the reference thread. Visual Studio, however, refuses to deploy to the phone.

Cert device, chevron reg, host file cleaned.

Zune launch white page (master sync), phone flight mode.

I launch chevron... it says, device is locked...

I make on device, unlock to square like all time...

Launch Chevron again... check UnPin and Cert..;

unable to connect with device...

I trying everything (not hardreset) says in this forum... it won't work...

the device was cleanly unlock previously... but since a XAP deploy problem (but i use Chevron patched with more 10 files)... i decide to relock phone to unlock again... and NOW... my life looks like SAW VII...

Please help me... JigSaw won !

Where did you get 7008? They haven't even pushed 7006 to me yet. I've been waiting patiently for the chefs, and I know they're doing everything they can, but this whole thing is really frustrating. Microsoft should not be copying Apple.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MOster:
I found an older copy of the Zune installer. Download the file from here, uninstall the current version, disconnect from the internet, and run this installer.

NOTE: That's the x64 link. If you're running 32 bit, Google ZuneSetupPkg-x86.exe and you'll find it eventually.

I've searched and found nothing so far, I've got an LG Optimus 7, just finished installing the Color Hue changer, Chevron and whatnot.

When I change the registry values to make the background a different color, it doesn't save the changes.

Also, when I try to go to the registry editor I get "access to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg is restricted."

Also, after having installed the File Manager/Explorer, it shows no files.

Help would be great

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] alex12353:
How easy is it to relock it if something goes wrong? Like if have to use the warranty, is it like the iPhone where they can't tell, or will they not fix it because I voided the warranty? I'm using a Focus if that means anything.

Also, what apps would you recommend? I would probably get shcameraapp, HTC Hub, Ringtone, Screen Capture, and custom theme colors; but I don't know if those are worth voiding the warranty.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MEGALiTHiUM:
Have those of you, who had trouble re-unlocking the phone used the "Samsung Tools" xap ?

After using the SamsungTool on my Samsung Omnia 7 ( sideload limit and relock-preventation ) I've had trouble delopying an xap to the device,

so I tried re-unlocking the device,

and it wouldnt work ( Chevron said it was still unlocked ).

Since then unlocking became impossible on the Device :/
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lesscro:
same issue but me because Xap won't be deployed... i m make a stupid things...

i relock device using Chevron... NOW chevron won't unlock device until i make this stupid error...

I ve read all tips here...

I think last option is HARD RESET !
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] natalie1981:
I finally got it to work on my Samsung Focus. At first I thought I was screwed since I got the updated Zune and it might have updated my phone but phone is still 7.0.7004.0 OS.

I didn't install the Developer tools but I did modify the registry. For those who modified the registry just make sure that the value “DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5 is at [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]. I added this registry entry via reg file but when I checked, devicereg wasn't there so I manually added it and Chevron worked.

NOw a question though, do I really need to install the SDK kit in order for Tom XAP installer to work? The file is just too big.
