Samsung focus Update - help - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
It may already be a topic like but I am not finding the solution.
my english is very bad and not quite know how to search here in the forum
I did update my Samsung SGH-I917 focus.
now its version is 7.0.7390.0.
After the update I could no longer unlock with Chevron and
install applications.
Whenever I try this message appears:
"-Please make sure it's connected using USB
-Please start the Zune application"
Somebody help me?
Thanks
Sorry for the bad English

If you updated through Zune, do this on the same machine:
Connect to Zune, click Phone-> Settings -> Update
You should have the option to restore there
Make sure you read prevent from relocking thread and/or install the app from the samsung tools thread...

you cant unlock with chevron once you update to nodo (at least currently). You'll have to reinstall your backup and go back to prenodo... unlock with chevron then use samsung tools and use that to prevent it from relocking. Once thats all done you can reupdate your phone to nodo and you will be fine. Its all here in the forum. Usually the threads you need are right on the first page of the windows phone general forum.
Good luck!

since I already thank you for your attention.
I did the restore and now they get to unlock chevronwp7.
But when I try to install apps by TOM XAP the following message appears:
"Make sure your phone was unlocked."
And also, this message appears
"This application is DRM protected."
What should I do?

Did the Chevron unlock work?
When you launch now Chevron, does it say "Re-Lock"?

A quick search of the forums and you would have found this answered many times.
You cannot currently unlock a phone that has the NoDo update. You can only unlock on versions of Windows Phone 7 before NoDo.
You could restore back to original firmware before the update. Unlock, make sure you apply no relock registry edits, then update again, and your unlock will remain.

[Q] Is it possible to hack the HD7 after the copy-paste update?

Hi,
Chevron worked fine until I updated my Windows Phone HD7 to the latest upgrade (The one with copy-paste).
I did it while my phone was locked (I don't know if it matters)
Is there any way I can use Chevron again? It does not seem to be working after the update.
Thanks,
Lidan

I think you meant "don't update sideloaded apps through Marketplace". For me it works to download from Marketplace with sideloaded apps like "Samsung tools" and "Root tools" (Focus) and "DioDict" (no longer on mktpl) just fine.
Please search the forums before you ask anything. This question has been asked and answered many times and you would know that had you done a simple search.

[Q] Unable to unlock "Jailbreak" with ChevronWP7 when Update 7.0.7390.0

Hi all,
I use HTC HD7, I have update my window phone 7 to 7.0.7390.0. after that, I was unable to unlock "Jailbreak" with ChevronWP7, and the application that I have install before was revoke by Microsoft.
Any method to unlock "Jailbreak" on 7.0.7390.0? or anyone know when it available to jailbreak?
Right now a new update 7.0.7392.0 is available to update, am i need to update or do s.th else that can make my phone can jailbreak and install third part application.
I'm really thankful for your reply!!!
as far as I know you can't unlock the phone unless you have the manufacturer registry editor on the device after NoDo. At this point only LG phones have this (MFG). Once you have 7390 installed you have to roll back to your previous backup via Zune software (Zune should have made a recover backup of the phone's state before the 7390 update). Once you are back to before NoDo (7390) you have to unlock the phone (chevron etc.) and ensure you have the registry keys set that keep it unlocked. The instructions for that are everywhere here. Once unlocked you can then update again to NoDo (7390) and sideload apps.
Thanks you very much Mr. derausgewanderte for help, maybe i can't do it as your instruction.
But didn't you know when it available for unlock on 7390? or it will never be unlock forever?
you don't have to search too far and you find that a group of people who are trying to come up with a solution. It's just a matter of time. Patience...

You need Zune beta from here, to restore back.
If you didn't make a backup before updating to mango, you have to flash with either UCJK2 or UXJL2 (recommended), from here. They're both back to version 7004 so after you flash, you will have to update to NoDo.
I'm currently doing it as I type.
Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152422 for the instruction.
Long story short. To make it easy :
1. Flash AT&T 7004 ROM
2. Unlock & Prevent Relock
3. Open Diagnose Mode ##634#
4. Install New_SMS_Unlock.xap
5. Install Samsung Root Tools from Heathcliff
6. Use the Samsung Tools to create provxml folder in root directory
7. Find unlock.xml from Applications folder and copy it to provxml folder (details on how to do this can be found on the the thread above)
8. Upgrade to NoDo (7390) Don't Unbrand !!! No need to go to 7392, and you won't get update for Diagnose if you unbrand.
9. In 7390, Uninstall your Diagnose app.
10. ##634# again, and your diagnose app will be updated.
11. After this make sure you can read the unlock.xml using *#9908# from Diagnose. If you can see your unlock.xml then you're good to go, if not then you must be missing something.
12. Flash to 7661
13. Open *#9908# from Diagnose.
14. Choose Unlock and press Save.
15. Your 7661 Focus should be unlocked by now.

Mango BETA B2 is available, not official. I wouldnt expect to see the official from AT&T for at least 3-6 months

At step 14, how long does it take? My phone has been "loading" stage for over 10 minutes now. Thanks.

Step 14 can be misleading.
I know that when I did it following those same directions I never got any message that said it was finished or anything, just like you it said "loading." I just closed out and was unlocked afterwords.
Figured it out...
Hey,
Anybody knows how to maintain unlock from 7712 to 7720 ... I reached 7712 and have managed to keep it unlocked ... want to know how hard is it from here to reach 7720 and maintain unlock ... dont have backups, so if I screw up will have to go back to 7004 and start over again
7220 - chevron

Try this. It worked for me on my v1.3 Focus. Still unlocked.
Btw, it says not working on Focus, but it did on mine.
Edit: Actually, if you're already on 7712, I'm guessing this won't work. Probably worth starting over for, though - especially, since you need a backup, as well.

Afterward, i follow the thread below. works like a charm. I had a nodo update and can't seem to remember if you can unlock or not. So i went and restore from the above thread. Total time it took me was about 1.5 hours. Hope that help.

I actually did the last step from 7712 to 7720 ... then went to GPRS settings, saved unlock.xml, saved and rebooted ... Its unlocked ... but I am syncing with zune in airplane mode cos I have a feeling it might get locked again ...
Did not notice anything new while shifting from 7712 to RTM ... Just hope to get better battery ...

This does not work ***VERIFIED***.
This zune version also gives 801812EO Error on Zune Restore attempt.
Backup is a pipedream. The only way back is from 7004 and through the hoops if you do it right.
No need for beta Zune
Since the official update of mango you no longer need the beta version of zune. Do all the same instructions and your phone will have mango (non-beta) and be unlocked

[Q] What if I...

What if I roll back my windows phone to version earlier than 7700? Would i then be avaliable to developer unlock - root my windows phone? i have seen the guide that uses chevron wp7 unlocking tool with chevron certificate installed on windows phone and later you just need to run chevronwp7.exe application on computer... Now, with build 8107 i cant, i tried it but i get error message about something phone not being connected to zune, or device is in lock-screen, but its not true... I have also seen forums on this topic, and other htc 7 trophy users said that going back to older version and installing chevron unlocked their phone and with an sideload app they managed to remain it unlocked even though they later updated to latest version of mango... Sorry for my grammar, english is not my native language
