Hello Guys,
i'm student so its possible for me to unlock the phone without Chevron etc.
by entering Zipcode, Adress and so on.
My question now is, if Microsoft has somehow "access" to my installed apps, because i have to install them via Desktop Marketplace (No Marketplace Country)
so im worried if they will lock my account or so?
Thanks for help
There are no "student phones" or else, so all phones can work the same way. Chevron and sideload will not harm any of your accounts (what accounts do you mean, anyway).
Homebrew is not forbidden, aside from things which are illegal anyhow (pirated apps, for example). Why are you worried about your account being locked?
because than my student dev account would be locked --> Handy as well and i don't want the Chevron Solution becaus of further updates
just go to dreamspark and then follow the process to the create.msdn site and submit a blank app.
You will be able to unlock 3 phones for free through their means.
don't use chevron
heres the URL
As far as i know will a student be able to unlock only 1 phone.
Students can definetly unlock 3 phones. I have a student account and have unlock 3
He is asking if his dev account that he got with dreamspark can be locked because he is using pirated apps because his country doesn't support or allow him to purchase apps so the only way he can get them is to pirate them, so now he is scared that microsoft will see that he has pirated games/apps and will lock or close his dev account
To answer your question (if that is what you are asking )I dont know

I live in a country that currently has no marketplace support.
I have registered a Live account for the UK so that I can at least download free apps to my Phone.
I would like to register for a development ($99) account so that I can unlock my phone for development.
1) Any tips for a successful registration are welcome.
Microsoft announced that marketplace support for my country will become available somewhere this year.
2) Will I be able to 'transfer' my developer account / change my Live account so that it will be valid for my country's marketplace or will that require me to pay another $99 to Microsoft for a new developer account?
I read that multiple Live accounts can be registered on a WP7 phone.
3) Is it a good idea to create 2 different Live accounts: 1 for normal/personal use (email, calendar etc.) and 1 specially for a development account?
4) Would it be preferable to register the developer acount as the second (not the primary) account on the phone?
5) Is it possible to create a developer account for a country that currently has no marketplace support, register it on the phone as secondary live account, and register a primary Live account for a country that does have marketplace support (e.g. UK)?
(I wish Microsoft would not have made it so difficult to start developing for WP7 for people in countries that don't have marketplace support yet.)

GeoTrust are so rude in dealing with registration for the app hub.
I am a student in country X and I provided them with my passport from the original country Y, and my driver's licence from the original country Y and a receipt for an ID from the country X where I study.
... and they didn't approve my application. They claim that I have to provide the residence ID from the country where I study (which I don't have right now, but the receipt is the one used whenever the ID is required!)
Voila, I beleive your case is impossible compared with what I've been through
I'm really surprised by the total lack of helpful contributions in this thread.
A little help and/or pointers would be appreciated.

I would also like to have a marketplace developer account. My university is in the msdnaa (dreamspark?) program but as I am in latin america they will probably take 2-3 more years to bring the service here. (Xbox live arrived last november).
The only way that I can imagine to get your applications submitted, is to get a "front man" in one of the available countries.
Me too. I'm a MVP and would like to have developer account. But I can't.

You will not be able to register on AppHub unless you actually live in a country where marketplace payouts are available. The key word here is payouts as there are a few countries with no marketplace access for purchases but where you can still register as a developer. Have a look at "Regional Information" towards the bottom of this page.

This is a moot point as you are unable to register using a, e.g. UK account unless you live there - and can prove it. In short; unless you can provide GeoTrust with proof of identity and address in the country you've told them, you will not be verified and not get access to your account.

That depends. If you have the opportunity to create a new Live ID using your business email that would likely be preferrable as customers can contact you directly thru your Publisher name. It really makes no difference to the way the accounts work on the phone though.

Yes. You would want the primary account to be your "personal" account as that's where it will upload photos, pull OneNote books and sync contacts/calendars from by default.

Yes. Although see above for caveats. This is the only way to get Marketplace access though, so unless you can live with "free" apps only or know mktplace is being rolled out in your country within the next few weeks or months - it's what you have to do.
Also of note is that your AppHub account does not have to reside on your phone at all. You can leave it on the desktop only and still unlock your device for development using the provided tools.
Finally, if your country has neither purchase or payout access to the marketplace the only other option is to use something like Yalla Apps or a friend from an approved country as a front man. I've done this for a few people already so if that's something of interest PM me.
^ Very helpful info. Thanks emigrating!

ok, I don't know how helpfull this info is but, once you have a developer account you can unlock multiple devices then use one of the many registry hacks out there to prevent your phone from relocking, even post-nodo, then after the hack is applied you can remove the phone from the developer account and unlock a different one. So if you can your best bet would be find a friend whome you trust with an account and let them unlock your phone for you, or someone at your school, maybe you could even pay them a small handling fee.
I registered as student through dreamspark. Submitted a useless app to unlock my phone.
GeoTrust verified my identity and I got an email from Microsoft that account has been activated. Application is still being tested by microsoft. I tried to unlock my phone but without any success.
Those who registered via dreamspark can you please shed some light at what point I can unlock my phone?
try again later
that happened to me but when I tried it worked
Done........
Can I get official dev unlock if WP market isn't officially available in my country and I'm a student?
i would like to know too!
Hi,
If i sell my Wp7 in the future, do i have to provide the buyer with just my Chevron unlock or do they also need access to the email with which the code was bought? Should i make another Live ID to buy the code with? Because i dont want the to-be buyer accessing my private emails..
Thanks, Abbz
Just make a new id to be safe
It will be better yes.
Pretty sure it's tied to the device id, meaning u would have to email the Chevron support to have them remove the device from their list. That's what it says when u login on the site. (would confirm, but the site is down for maintenance)
Just tell them to remove your device from their list and that's it.
i have a dell venue pro running wp7.5 mango
i want to jailbreak it
please post a way to perform it.
will it void my warranty ??
"Jailbreak" is a totally ambiguous term. If you want the exact level of access it provides on an iPhone - custom apps, root access, and the ability to replace system binaries - that is flat-out impossible right now. If you just want custom apps, that's actually a built-in feature of the OS.
You can try using the registry editor buit into the EM app, but most likely you're going to need to get an AppHub account.

To unlock your phone do exactly the following:
1.) turn your phone off
2.) go outside where you get real good signal
3.) take your phone and throw it as hard as you can at the ground
4.) your phone is now unlocked
PS: this will only work once so make it count.
This guy should be banned "permanently" Complain already sent to mods...
My post was not about voluptuary or OP posts It was swindler's message here (above mine). But moderators have already taken care of this "merchant" His post is deleted and (I hope so!) he is banned.
hey guys i have heard that apphub can register 3 devices in one account...so i was thinking that if we connect a user who have an apphub account with a user who dose not have...by using internet ..so that other users can also register their devices....
Guys please tell me if this is possible????
It would be a gr8 help to many users...especially to omnia w users...
In order to register a device to get it unlocked, it must be physically present at the account owner's computer. It has to be connected via USB to the computer, and a program at the computer is run to register it.
So I suppose, if people are trusting enough to send their phones to others, then its possible. Otherwise, not gonna work.
so i guess its a yes....but if we connect the pcs via a software which would even help us to share proxy ports,usb ports,etc we may able to do it without the risk...
Guys plz need your support...
Well, you're not going to be able to do it *without* risk; I don't know of any program that would allow that level of remote connection without exposing one computer or the other to attack. The level of risk may be acceptable, though.
Side note: not everybody has unlocks to spare; some of us have multiple phones or have family / friends who needed unlocked too. That said, if there's a way to do it right, the idea certainly has merit!

... but not on XDA, my friend
I really dont know now if this is true but when i was googling i got the information that u can also remove the device if dont want it......so after u have registered the device u can simply remove the user....
plz correct me if m wrong!!!
That's right. But what is your point? No one will give you his Live account credentials. Also, this is a hoax, prohibited by Microsoft agreement. By the way, if you already ready to cheat - just open fake student's account and get your unlock for free (but I don't want to discuss it).
well i tried almost all the things on google and xda but none of it is working.....
anyways so i guess its a bit sad news to most of the omnia w users....
@sensboston, you misunderstood. The suggestion was for a way to remotely connect a Windows Phone to the computer of somebody who had an AppHub account. For example, if you could forward your device's USB connection to my PC via the Internet, I could then launch the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool on my PC, enter my credentials, and unlock your device (well, aside from running into the limit, that is).
I don't know of any such software that doesn't also give one ocmputer or the other way more access than I'd recomment allowing a stranger to have, but it does not (in theory) require handing one's credentials to anybody else. It may be against the ToS of AppHub, but then, you can believe that ChevronWP7 Unlocker was against somebody or other's ToS as well, and that didn't stop people. I routinely decompile apps, even though that's forbidden by mose EULAs. You get the point. We're not talking piracy here...
May be but I think OP is looking for free handset unlock, not for USB forwarding
