Sprint Arrive "NoDo" = No Chevron?

are we going to be able to load chevron on the new nodo update..several folks including myself cannot even get chevron for the sprint arrive with preloaded NoDo update...any answers on this ?

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Loiselle:
NoDo breaks CHevron. You cannot use Chevron with NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ojejoe:
I relly need this chevron, so be nice and share it

don't worry
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tornado75:
you can downgrade on old firmware and unlock it... so then you can update it! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Loiselle:
It's available... just search around here. :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Budniu:
Maybe it's ok idea but ONLY TO FIRST HARD RESET. After hard reset device is lock again and what ? Downgrade again, unlock and update ? It's sick.

problem with htc hd 7

I have a problem with my hd7: when I try to install the certificate in my phoneit gives me this message:

"Your certificates weren't installed

Your phone couldn't add one or more certificates because the certificate file might be unsupported or corrupt

error: 0x80070002"

where is the problem?

os version is 7.0.7008

I'll appriciate very much some help
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Budniu:
Maybe cert file is damaged, try again send by e-mail and install again ?

problem with hd7

I tried do resend the file many times. also I downloaded the file from 2 diferent sources found here in forum. same error with both. also chevronwp7 don't work give me that error who contain advice to connect the phone on pc and run zune(phone is conneted already and zune is opened and with sync finished). also tried after restarted both the phone and pc.

I want to specify that my phone is the model with 16Gb memory.

P.S.: I have the phone from 23.03.2011, and after I connected to zune the proprogram made un update to my phone. hope that update isn't that who make chevronwp7 to not work.

hope will appear soon another jailbreack program cause I think is so bad to have avery performant phone and can't use it to his biggest capabilities. I think microsoft did the biggest mistake making wp7 identical with iOS from apple. I am very frustrated cause I can't have acces to my phone capabilities(example: why give me a gps module if I can't install a performant navigation program and I am forced to use that maps program who is like a simple map?)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mousse04:
What is the version of your current ROM (SE version number inside settings)?

But it seems you have NODO and so Chevron is broken!!!!!

Hi! Cehevron width Nodo is working .... or not working? What is the error message?

If the message is not communicate bla bla bla, check

1: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

192.168.1.103	developerservices.windowsphone.com DEEL this line, or any developers line!!!!

2: Device and printers (your phone) right click Troubleshoot.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mousse04:
I tried what you said: remving any developers line inside hosts but the message is :

Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone.

Make sur it is connected

Start Zune.

Any ideas?

edit: If you make troubleshot, it said that he can't find the issue ...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] embmw:
thanks for help.

I did it. chevron worked. was my fault. reason? bigginer in wp7. when I couldn't install the cer file I was opened the messager using internet explorer cause I had deactivated the updater from windows live. after I activate the function and the phone showed me the message received it worked. after the cer file installed chevron started without problems and unlocked my phone. now I will look forward to see how I can install programs in my phone.

thanks again for help and thanks a lot for chevron wp7.

P.S.: red on internet some stuff about microsoft politics for wp7. I think ( suggesting they want to stop the piratery) they come inside our phones and violate our property. why I say this? cause me, as a non specialist in software, I'm not so shore they can't see my private stuff like emails, photos, videos, and documents. so who guarranty that they can't control my life? think to that maps program who need an internet connection, to that facillity my position. if they can acces my phone they can know in any second where I am, where I go. and is not right. and that comunication between microsoft and my phone without my aproval is not correct at all.

Im having some trouble editing hosts. Im using Windows 7 on Mac's Parallels Desktop and it gives "access is denied" even when I edit hosts in Mac OS X.

Is it any configuration in Mac or is the Win permitions beefing with me?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] roliika82:
Try

Try download create.msdn.com/en-us/home/getting_started

Download and install the Windows Phone Developer Tools Fix

And host repair, zune restart, phone reconnect, and into cmd ipconfig /flushdns .
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Budniu:
Hmmm, with NoDo update ??? Chevron don't work with it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tiny17:
Just an FYI - If you have a developer unlock, you can still sideload the ringtone installer, and it all works correctly.

Restart the phone. :)

Hey, there is a problem with chevronwp7.exe finding my HTC Arrive phone on zune, this message comes up:

Sorry, I’m having trouble communicating with the phone.

Please make sure it’s connecting using USB

Please start the Zune application.

I googled the problem and tried to go through some of the solutions posted there but it didn’t work so I was wondering as there are more experienced people reading this forum, would anyone be able to help me?

Thank you

PS... the htc arrive came "out of the box" with cut and paste. does this mean I have the nodo update?

Yes, you have NoDo preinstalled, Chevron apps do not work with NoDo update.

ATT Samsung Focus

I am running Windows XP but was able to install the Dev Tools. However, when I try to launch WPconnect.exe it tells me it is not a valid Win32 file, so that may be my problem. Anyway, I follow the steps and no matter what I do when I try to launch Chevron I get the error message that it could not connect via the USB port, start Zune blah, blah, blah. In your opinion, it is a waste of my time to try to get Chevron to work on an XP machine?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lapingultah:
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere I couldn't find, but how easy (or hard) is a rollback to factory state? I mean let's say I disable the camera shutter sound, put in a few ringtones of my own etc, can I do a rollback to an out-of-the-box kind of shape with all the customizations gone with just a soft reset or do I have to change everything back manually?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 951adg06:
Where do i find this folder

Where exactly do I find this folder. I unlocked mine and installed the pre-nodo and NoDo and update the zune and it relocked. Now it Chevron won't work not matter what i do.

Thanks for this thread!

I got my Focus unlock and managed to install a January update. I have tried about 5 times to install the February update to no avail. I keep getting the error:

800705B4.

Anyone got this yet and got it working?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ctt1wbw:
Okay nevermind, anyone getting this problem should run the Windows Phone Support Tool. Whatever it did, it worked. I finally got the Feb update installed and now the March update is installed and the backup process is running.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] phez:
Hi ctt1wbw, would you mind sharing your unlock process? I too have a focus and am having no luck.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ctt1wbw:
If you're getting errors after an install like I was, download and run the Windows Phone Support Tool. Takes a few minutes but it fixed whatever error I was having, then the updates started to install without any errors.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] theniaky:
Thanks this tread is really interesting !

I have just a beginner question : what is the difference between Chevron unlock and official Microsoft unlock (with a valid licence of course) ?

Is it possible in both solution to install XAP like TouchXplorer ?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sameerabedi:
I'm sure that this has been already clarified, but I'm being dim!

Following the recent NoDo update - is it no longer possible to unlock the phone with Chevron (or indeed any other method)?

What are the plans to develop an unlock tool?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lapingultah:
Uh, would someone know the answer for this please..?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ScottSUmmers:
Well you would just re-edit the registry back to the original values...

or you could just flat out do a hard reset for your device...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ageell2004:

Hey Guys

I have HTC Mozart recently updated to the NoDo update, so I wanted to ask is there some option to unlock it? Any cure :) ? I've heard somewhere that Microsoft will forbid the next updates for the phones that are unlocked by Chevron(maybe that is just a rumor:) ). Tnx in advance :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XmlNode:
May be this will help:

This method could manage to unlock my phone, but there is an important step: if you have any backup in Zune, first restore to the older version (7008 mostly) and move that backup to another folder (on PC). After this, try to run Windows Phone Support Tools and after all shut down firewall and try to run Chevron. Personally I tried it several times and once it could unlock the phone. Blood magic. :D
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kasapoglu:
can you explain me step by step, first, how can i open setup.exe in wm_web folder on web ???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XmlNode:
Don't know what setup.exe should be opened... but if you got NoDo and phone is relocked:

Steps:

1. Instal Windows Phone Support Tools

2. Restore your phone with Zune on that machine where you updated it to Nodo

3. Search for Zune backup folder. Path looks like this: "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\" on Win7

4. Move the whole backup to another folder (anywhere)

4.5 Disable firewall (no risk)

5. Use Windows Phone Support Tools as it described

6. Edit Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file like this:

127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com

127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone-int.com

7. Use Chevron to unlock the phone and use Root Tools from XDA to prevent relock

8. Use Chevron updater to get NoDo

9. Enjoy freedom. :D

I tried all the steps several times again and again and once it could manage to unlock my phone.

I changed the TO-NAPID, TO-PROXY, and ADDR values to the correct values for my carrier, yet still no MMS.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XLordDeimosX:
Im actually intrigued by this MMS registry key. Could you be onto something? im thinking yes. i looked this up on Registry editor but the folder MMS seems to be protected. if we could only find a way to get access, and then maybe most WP7 phones can be configured. i have simple mobile, and there is no way to change connection settings on a wp7 unless you use the connection wizard thing.

it worked for a bit. but after reaching my data cap, i was on EDGE, i somehow sent 2 MMS and received 1 MMS. now i cant even send or receive.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] CP-Geek:
I updated my htc 7 pro to 7389 only to realize i need unlocked phone. I then rolled back to 7008 and now there's no relocking occuring. the only thing is, I no longer get the "updates are available", so three questions:

- Is there a stand-alone installer or something for 7389?

- If I apply that, is the phone locked again?

- After update in case of locked, does it reset for example accent color?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] epdpatrolman:
I gave up and have moved on to an Android. Microsoft has permanently lost any chance of getting my business on phones. To tie the hands of the end-user such as they have is stupid. I expect iOS and Android to continue beating them like a drum.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Goodbye

You know, users come and go. Android to IOS to WP7 and back again. Just remember, your leaving means almost nothing, others will adopt WP7 and replace you. It means nothing that you leave, it does not constitute a trend and you can draw no conclusion other than what it means to you. I have noticed a huge drop off in the "I hate WP7" comments since NoDo. It's almost like all of those doom merchants have fallen off the face of the earth. It is a real pleasure to read these threads again without those senseless comments to wade through. I can find all of the apps I need, the OS and UI become smoother all the time and the things I thought I missed from WM 6.X I discovered I don't need at all. It will be fun to look back in 6 months and laugh at some of these predictions.

Got some problems on my try to use ChevronWP7

Got a Omnia 7 (7.0.7004.0), done everything in like in the tutorial and on the try to start Chevron it says that the phone is not plugged on to the pc (W7 Ultimate 64bit).

Could it be because of the 64 bit?! or what should i try??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kms108:
isn't apple doing what MS is doing, without the jailbreak, ios will probably be dead, android is the only OS which is open, but MS is doing pretty good with windows phone 7, yeh it does lock you down, but the os has full potential to be one of the best OS around, once the next update ( mango) comes through, many ppl will start jumping to the wp7 OS, i haven't used the iphone ( never liked it), at present I have the nexus S which is running android and the mozart 7 running wp7, and i do like the wp7 platform more than the android, it runs much smoother, faster and haven't had the phone freezed once, when compared to the android.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KauTschuk:
Got another ChevronWP7 try on a Windows 7 32bit system, but its still the same problem.

ChevronWP7 can´t communicate with the Omnia7.

@ kau

is your phone on the home screen? not the lock screen?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KauTschuk:
Homescreen, for sure i tried again but nothing happend. Just again the error for cause of the connection.

I think it has something with the phone settings, got it on planemode.

Could it be because i have installed allready some apps on it?? (hope that i dont need to formate it again... -.-)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Seek1:
I'm using Win7 64bit and had no problems. Try

1.Uninstall ANY previous ver. of Visual Basic you might have.

2.Make sure you have the latest DOTnet 4.0 Frame work installed first.

3.Right click on the install file when installing and click "Run as Administrator"

Mark
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KauTschuk:
@Seek1, thank you... but still the same problem, i begin really to think about, that the problem is in some settings on the phone. could that be it??

is it maybe about a app i installed??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mirolg:
hi, in the first time, i had the same problem.

i had this forgot: to put my WP7 Phone into airplane mode
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rush_ad:
is this hack still advisable as of May 2011? i mean will it stop normal update routine from MS through Zune?

i have an unlocked samsung focus, using with T-Mobile US. i can't get MMS to work so trying to figure out whatever I can.

I used the Samsung Network Tools and switched profile to T-Mobile, but seems like I have to Chevron unlock it for Network Tools to take effect.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KauTschuk:
allways the same, airplane mode still does not solve it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XmlNode:
Flash your phone again with JK1 and Chevron will work.

By the way Chevron. MS showed mercy:

Microsoft-approved tool fixes your 'walshed' Windows Phone, helps you get official updates once more
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fdbatista:
Flashing with JK1 didn't solve it either. I even tryed 2 different roms (XENJK1 and DBTJK1) and neither worked: always get the "can't connect... " message while starting chevron.

I checked everything, and still can't get this to work. no process is using https port, i tried using a clean hosts file and a hosts file with 127.0.0.1 poiting to developer.services(...).

I tried package 47 of zune.

I tried disabling internet on the computer.

I tried airplane mode on phone.

Nothing works. :(
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] XmlNode:
That's a problem. If the fresh firmware fails (comes with 7004), I don't know what to do now... May be it's your computer. I could unlock some phones after flashing new JK1 onto them.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] KauTschuk:
Got it now... my phone only doesnt like Windows 7 as much as Vista... dunno why, but Chevron finelly saw it.

Thanks for all the helps!!

The chevron unlocker doesn't work with version 7389. You need an older one. This is possible by flashing a ROM with 7004 or 7008 inside.
