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 ...

You need Zune beta from here, to restore back.

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
hi guys i update my samsung omnia 7 to (samfw) update mango and i cant find any way to jailbreak it
any one can help me please
That is exactly what I want to know too.
I had the Mango Beta 2 (7712) on my Omnia 7 jailbroken.
Now I flashed the WP7-Engineer FW from samfirmware. Is there any way to jailbreak it now?
nothing
Your first option is to flash a pre NoDo ROM and to then unlock it, using ChevronWP7. Afterwards you are able to use ProvXML to unlock it after installing any updates. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226030.
Your second option is to simply wait till http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253686 goes somewhere. You would then be able to flash any custom ROM with a direct unlock.
The last option is to wait for http://labs.chevronwp7.com/ as they will apparently allow us to unlock our devices for 9$ in the future, but it is unsure if this will be a normal developer unlock.
O have the dft custom rom with mango beta 1. It's jailbroken, so I can install my own xaps
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Currently custom ROMs are only available for HTC. Hopefully either Cotulla will be able to do something with the focus or maybe something will happen with that other link that I posted. Either way I'm keeping my thumbs crossed, though I'm guessing I will be just as happy when official mango gets released and we can just use ProvXML.
I have a Samsung Focus that I am trying to update. I am trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344
However, I don't understand this part:
Code:
4. Run Application Deployment, click on browse
--- for hTC phones, click on TouchXplorer.xap
--- for Omnia 7, click on WP7RootTools 0.5 alpha.xap
-- and click on open
Does my phone need to be unlocked to follow this? Should I do it with Chevron?

if you are not unlocked and upgrade to Mango you will have a hard time unlocking it within Mango (and won't be able to sideload). Unlock in pre-NoDo and then carry the unlock over to NoDo and Mango following the guide. yes, people have successfully carried their Chevron unlock over to NoDo and then Mango. You need to make sure that it cannot relock when you connect to Zune. The tools listed allow you to make the reg changes to do that.
i thought I was reading somewhere that it's not possible to unlock past 7004 or something like that, which was before NoDo? (using Chevron)

you are correct. I corrected my post. So you need to start with
A. NoDo Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7004 to OS February 2011 update and 7392 NoDo
So let me try to understand that, if my phone is unlocked now and when I update to mango it might might not unlock anymore, regardless if I got a SIM code from htc? I am new into this so I'm trying to get into it lol.......
I have a question regarding the official Mango update for my HTC Trophy. I unlocked 7004 via Chevron, did some hacks for preventing it from being relocked (via this thread) and updated to 7392 (NoDo). Everything is OK, device is still unlocked.
What should I do for preventing my device being relocked during the ongoing official Mango update?
Is there already some solution, or will it be after the official Mango release will appear in Zune?

I think we are talking about two different kinds of unlocking. I am referring to unlocking the phone for sideloading homebrew apps. If you upgrade to Mango you might not be able to sideload homebew apps that allow you to customize your phone until the gurus come up with a solution for Mango. Then there is SIM unlock to be able to use a device with a different SIM. I think that is what you are referring to. That will not change for you if you upgrade to Mango.

If you follow Ansar's tutorial you will see that there are preventions you can take to stay unlocked. You basically finished part A of his tutorial and can continue to part B with prerequisites for Mango upgrade.
B. MangoB2 Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7392 [NoDo] to OS 7403 and 7712
In your case 7712 will be 7720.68 once it is released.
When you have all prerequisits finished from Ansar's post you stop there and are ready for official Mango once it comes out.
Reports from people who were NoDo unlocked and proceeded to Mango are mixed. Some kept the unlock some didn't. If it doesn't stay unlocked you have to have the files ready on the device to be able to unlock it without going back to NoDo. This is what Ansar's post explains. For the HTC you will put a CustClear.provxml file in place that you can deploy to unlock it.
This post also explains how to keep it unlocked. You follow the guide to the point at which it does the actual Mango upgrade. That is where you stop and wait for the official one.
But even if your device is locked in Mango you can go back to a NoDo restore point you created before you went to Mango. All explained in the guides/tutorials above.

You think some of those who followed the Ansars guide or those who just upgraded from unlocked NoDo to Mango without any other hacks before update?
The second link is some other guide than Ansars, if I am right, I can choose which one to use?
Thanks for help!

those who just upgraded. I myself just upgraded but luckily for LG users there is an LG phone tool on the device that allows to modify the registry at any stage.
Yip. That's d mfg menu, and I love it..
Sent from my LG Optimus 7
Today I have succesfuly registered my ISIC student card with validity until december this year into the Microsoft Developer Account.
Now I have Chevron unlocked NoDo WP7 (HTC Trophy) with some modifications to prevent it from relocking during sync etc. I would like to unlock it via official Developer Account I now have.
1) If am not wrong - I should HR my phone, it will go to NoDo locked and then I can use application "Windows Phone Developer Registration" which will unlock my device and it will stay unlocked also after Mango update?
2) Is it possible by developer unlocked device to modify registry entries? I need to add one entry, so I will have Mango in my native language after update.
3) After one year, will it automatically lock my device and I will need to perform new ISIC validation, which will be in that day already expired?
4) If it will expire, will it hard reset or block my phone or will it stay in way it is, but it will not only be possible to side load xap's?
Thanks for answers!
Hey guys,
i'm very new to WP7 unlocks, but today i tried Jaxbot's windowbreak on my Omnia 7 with 8107.79 OS. well, i hadnt looked up everything avout that and just followed the instructions of the video on windowsphonehacker.com. then i put the root tools 0.9 XAP to my phone using microsoft's application deployment. later i saw in the forums that windowbreak doesnt work on 8107.79 devices cause of the KK2 update. So, now my qustion: is it alright and have i got an unlocked omnia 7 because it worked with the XAP or what do i have to do?
FabiF..
There's a lot of misinformation about unlocks on the forums. The pertinent facts are:
1. If you were able to install and run WP7 Root Tools without modiying the XAP file first, then WindowBreak worked for you. You're ready to go.
2. Windowbreak doesn't care at all about your OS version; it cares about your firmware version. For a Samung gen2 phone, I believe KK4 and below will work.
3. Sometimes, a firmware update is included with an OS update. Some Samsung gen1 phones got KK2 (which blocked Windowbreak) with their 8107 update.

so, that means my phone is now developerunlocked? But when i tried to deploy a custom theme with that application from windowsphonehacker.com i instantly got an error. Also, if i try to 'save XAP' and deploy with Microsofts application deployment tool an error occurs.
Well, i found my mistake: i synced with zune and my phone got relocked. so, i just repeated the windowbreak progress and it seams to work fine now. but is there a way to keep zune from relocking? i just found some ways for htc devices, but none for samsung.
WindowBreak should include the "prevent relock" registry configuration, which removes the server that Microsoft uses to check and modify your phone's lock status from the phone's registry. I'm not sure why your phone would have relocked so quickly after WindowBreak, but you can try sideloading, marking Trusted, and running the "prevent relock" app that is intended for use with the Tango upgrade (which also resets the relock check URLs; you didn't install Tango did you?)
well, tango means the 8773 update?
8773 or later, yes. It's known to reset the "prevent relock" change, so your phone will relock itself shortly after installing Tango unless you get a bit tricky with it. 8107 has no impact on lock/unlock status, though.
