HELP ??

The instructions you can find here are all pretty clear and they work.
I went according to this one:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)

8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;
You are probably just missing a step

you must be doing something wrong ..cause as i just stated above all the tool and unlocker still works as it did 3 months ago...check some of tutorials in the forum...

hi , i connected my phone using wpconnect , im still having same problem

Check your hosts file.
If it contains following entry, Chevron will not work:
127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com

I cant remember where I read this but it helped.After completing the above instructions,Open task manager(Ctrl ,Alt &del).Go to processes ,select zune launcher and click on end process.reboot pc ,connect phone , wait for it to sync wit zune ,if it doesnt ,run zune then run chevron and you are done.I did this for 3 phones and it worked.hope this helps.good luck.

another confirmation that the unlocker still works for me without any problems at all...i dont nor havent deleted any host files or changed any setting at all within the machine. I have had one or two problems with it not working, the first problem i ever had when i first started using the unlocker was the registry key not being edited correctly... and for the second time it didnt work, all i did was unplug device and let re sync...tick, tick BOOM unlocked!! Besides those couple times it has always worked for me...Bought a new machine today and installed tools, then zune software and created account " naming phone " and installed chevron, opened and unlocked....if you have sdk tools installed and have the unlocker installed, with zune software completely set up and phone communicating with zune, not as guest...and you will change the relationship from guest to " whatever you name your phone " during setup... haven a complete and main relationship with phone " not guest " is one of the most important parts with zune!!! The other most important part is making sure the registry is edited and should look like this...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
the window phone developer tools will edit reg for you...i have learned that if you relock the phone it sometime can takes a little while for things to click and be able to unlock again!!
So there is nothing wrong with any of the tools or unlocker, so if your having problems tripple check your zune settings to accomplish a non guest relationship, and check your reg. edit.....most problems i have seen and heard about are ppl and their zune!

hi , im sure ive done all the steps above .
like i mention , im not those ask before looking through thread.
yes it was not guest r/s with phone - zune .
i sync first before doing it and the r/s was not in guest.
regedit.exe was use to change the registry key before all. any other alternative ?

how do you ensure that it is not GUEST?
i seem to be unable to get it to sync with ZUNE

Wow... you can come and work on our helpdesk any time, they log calls about as badly as you explain a problem lol.
You've said it's "not working". Why isn't it working? Where are you getting up to? Are you getting an error message?
Have you deleted all entries of Developerservices... from your host file?

make sure you have corrected date and time
and if possible use SIM Card with "big operator" in your country (well known operator)
sorry for bad english, using google translate

How to tell my phone is unlocked or not

I've just bought a second-hand Samsung Focus (SGH-i917) from a local cellphone vendor for developement purpose. From settings, about, it reports software version Windows Phone 7.5 and OS version 7.10.7720.68. Is there a way to find out if my phone is unlocked or not. If unlocked, how can I load XAP onto the phone? If locked, how can I unlock it. BTW, I do not pirate, just for developement.

Hi
You can see if your phone is locked or not trying to deploy a XAP file on it.
You can do this using a deployer like Tom XAP Installer.
You also need the Windows Phone SDK (download it HERE) which is necessary to develop applications and deploy them.
After installed, download a XAP file (or use your own), connect your phone and run WPConnect (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\WPConnect) and open Tom XAP Installer, select Add XAP files and click on Install. If the installations finishes correctly, your phone is unlocked, otherwise you have to unlock it.
You have two ways to do this:
- Official jailbreak by Microsoft (HERE), It costs 9$ and allows you to deploy 10 applications. You won't lose warranty.
- Downgrade to the 7004 firmware (VIDEO) and unlock it using ChevronWP7 (Download HERE), then before updating to Mango you have to send a file (unlock.xml) to your phone (Tutorial Here), otherwise you'll lose the unlock.

Thanks, I'll try your instructions.

@AshleyT: A couple of minor corrections:
The official ChevronWP7 Labs unlock is not by MS, though they permit it (thus "official"). They don't get the $9, though you do have to use a Live ID.
There is another official way to dev-unlock your phone: get a Marketplace developer ("AppHub") account. http://create.msdn.com ($99, goes to MS) or http://dreamspark.com (requires student email address, free). For these methods, use the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool that comes with the SDK download.
The reason I point out the apphub account option is that, if the OP wants to develop apps, he or she may want to publish them to the marketplace at some point. You can't do that with a ChevronWP7 unlock, official or otherwise, but you can with AppHub.

Chevron can check whether your phone is unlocked, or u can try to install one simple xap application to test this.

It seems that my phone is locked.
First I tried Tom XAP installer, it said:
-Please Make sure your phone was unlocked!
-Please Make sure you connected device to PC and Zune launched
Try again?
Then I tried Application deployment from Windows Phone SDK 7.1, which said
Error - Failed to connect to device as it is pin locked.
I am sure my phone is connected to PC as I can see music/video/picture in Zune.

Could someone explain to me what is "pin locked"?

To remove the error of pin locked u just need to swipe up the lockscreen and try to deploy the xap file.. it will be successfully deployed..
I countered the same problem earlier..
Hope this helps

[Q] Help with interop unlocking samsung omnia w

I have unlocked my omnia w using my MS student dev account.Now i have sideloaded and tested 2 of my apps,and came to know there is a sideload limit of 3 apps.So i'm going to interop unlock to remove sideloading limit.
NOW THE PROBLEM IS,
Im going to follow Heathcliff74's method for interop unlocking,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
since i can only sideload 1 app more(2 apps already sideloaded),
ill deploy this app shown in his post to interop unlock( Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap).
but after this will i be able to deploy samsung tools and wp7root tools?(as my quota of 3 apps will be over).Beacuse if i cant deploy samsung tools after interop unlock,my 3g will be screwed.
So will i be able to sill deploy apps after deploying Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap?Please help,thanks

OK, you've got several things wrong here:
1. The easiest way to both dev-unlock *and* interop-unlock a Samsung phone is WindowBreak. It doesn't require being able to deply apps (dev-unlocked) at all, nor does it use up unsigned app limite.
2. You can remove the interop-unlock app immediately after installing it. The important change it makes is made through the installation, and is not removed by un-installing. There's no reason to even ever run the app.
3. You *could* always remove one of the other two apps, of course. When you un--install apps, they don't count against your limit (crazy, right?).
4. Since the whole thing that interop-unlock does is change the registry key that controls the unsigned app limit - and you even appear to already know this - why are you even asking? After interop-unlocking, your limit will be raised to a few billion, so yes, of course you'll be able to install more apps.
5. Most hacks of this type for Samsung now incorporate Auto Data Config. You *should* only need to reboot the phone to get your 3G back even if something happens to it.

Thanks for the quick reply.Windowbreak is not working on my phone.The exploit has been patched by samsung in its
recent update.
My question is that after i sideload Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap,will i be able to sideload WP7root tools?
(cuz my sideload limit of 3 will be over).Does just interop unlocking provide unlimited sideloading,dont we need to
edit registry with wp7tools or use removesideloadlimit.xap to provide sideloading after interop unlocking?
Else Without deploying wp7 root tools,i would not be able to touch the registry,and my interop unlock will be a waste!

Healthcliffs Interop Unlock will not work
I am in the same situation as you. I have student unlocked my Omnia W. I have tried loading Interop Unlock and it did not work on diagnosis version 1109. Also windowbreak does not work as the phone is updated. I have tried rolling back to old firmware using Flash tools. But they can't flash this phone. There is also no custom ROM available for Gen 2 Samsung. So, as of now, those with Samsung Omnia W updated to diagnosis 1109 cannot roll back. Waiting for something to happen with fingers crossed.

Interop Unlock *is* the "unlimited" sideloading. That's what control whether your phone is interop-unlocked. i think you have cause and effect reversed...
If you revert the Samsung firmware update (either roll back the update using Zune's backup, or re-flash an older stock ROM) you can use WindowBreak. If you don't, you won't even be able to use Heathcliff74's interop-unlock; it works exactly the same way as WindowBreak except it uses a XAP file (deployed via PC and requiring dev-unlock) instead of a ZIP file (deployed from a website and requiring no unlock at all).
If/when you are interop-unlocked, yes, you'll be able to install WP7 Root Tools. Why would you assume otherwise? Anyhow, interop-unlock is useful even without WP7 Root Tools (since it allows sideloading lots of apps) and, for the record, you can edit the registry without WP7 Root Tools (interop-unlock *is* a registry edit, nothing more - specifically, it edits the MaxUnsignedApp registry value that controls how many apps you can sideload).

So there is nothing to do,than waiting for new exploits,for omnia w?Thanks for the clarifications

Well, or what I suggested...
If you revert the Samsung firmware update (either roll back the update using Zune's backup, or re-flash an older stock ROM) you can use WindowBreak.

If you have a Zune backup, you can restore it by connecting your phone to the Zune software, then (on the PC) going to Settings -> Phone -> Update. There should be a button for restoring the latest backup. Note that you'll lose all changes to the phone made since that backup was created, including things like SMS and app data. You'll be able to re-install purchased apps, though.
I recommend also backing up your backups (more properly called "restore points") since otherwise Zune overwrites them with each new update. They're stored in %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\ and you can just rename the folder to prevent Zune from overwriting it (the folder will be re-created with the old name).

For ppl who cannot a free student id and cannot find Chandler gilbert community college in the apphub registration,
select Maricopa county in the location.click on any college there and provide your maricopa.edu address.you'd get verified.

[Q] Quick developer unlock wp7

Hi there, I saw these posts about developer unlock for windows phone 7. I tried to do every single one of them, but somehow somewhere I always get a mistake... I want to root or however you call it my windows phone 7.5[mango] and i am a noob when it gets about that.... I currently possess HTC Trophy, and i want to do this because i want to be able to send and transfer files via bluetooth. I also tried to install xap files via ie on wp but it say file type not supported... Anyone know a way i can install .xap file on my windows phone 7 that it's easy?

No such thing as a quick developer unlock for HTC phones.
This is the best guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963

Nope
Nope, i need a tutorial on how to install .xap files, and on a link you gave me it says to install .xap file with xap file deployment tool... how the heck am i gonna do that when i can't open xap files since it's developer locked???
3. Download this attachment to your PC: HTC Interop Unlock.xap
4. Connect your device to a PC running Zune and install the xap-file using any xap-deploy-tool. You don't need to start the app. If it starts automatically, you can close it right away.

Currently, the only ways to dev-unlock a Trophy (or other HTC phone) are to get an AppHub account or use a custom ROM.

hmmmmh...
ummm, how do i do that? how do i use or set custom ROM? is there a guide or something... ?

For more device specific instructions and custom ROMs, go to the forums for your device. HTC Trophy, you said
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=809
In order to load a custom ROM, you need to downgrade and change the HSPL/RSPL. For the Trophy see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1503298
As far as deploying XAPs to your phone from your computer, many options exist, but you have to be at least developer unlocked, and the only way is through AppHub right now. Thus, maybe flashing a custom ROM would be a better way to go.
Good Luck! and hit Thanks if you found this helpful.

[Q] Is there a way to execute .reg file on lumia710

It's too much to add them one by one.
This reg file is size 30Kb.
My phone is fully unlock

what exactly are you trying to do that requires you to apply a 30Kb registry change to your phone?
A possible sollution would be to cook your own custom rom with these changes already applied but that's not a trivial task.
For HTC phones the network setup app used to be exploitable in the past to apply registry changes via a provxml file. I am not sure if nokias own network setup is exploitable in a similar manner.

If you've got a full unlock you could try to run WM Device Connector and use any CE Remote Tool for the job. They can usually do this.

Can we use these tools to edit registry on Developer-Unlocked devices? And please provide links and little details for these tools.

No. As I wrote, you need a full unlock, a developer unlock is too limited For links to then, use the search function.
Point is, unless you run a custom rom, you can't use them. If you've got such - which I assumed OP has if he asks such a question, that might be the best way.

These tools are not working. It's too old and can't running on Windows7 cause Activesync not available for Windows7.
I should find another way
It maybe cooking rom or running provxml or something.
Thank for the advice

Hm, no. You need to install this (64-bit) or this (32-bit). WMDC works fine on Windows 7 and even 8.
For registry editing, try this software then. It's a bit old and spits some errors for me (Windows 8 here) if I run it as-is, but with compatibility mode enabled it works very well.

That's very kind of you. :good:
