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!

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)

Hello, I'm relatively new to the wp7 platform and am wondering if there's a way to change the tile colors to something other than the ones that are set? I'm new to all of the phone editing world as well, so sorry if this seems like a 'noobish' question. Thanks
You need to have an unlocked device & side load the app, Accent Changer.
Thank you!
How do I go about unlocking my phone??
Does your device have the NoDo update? If so you either need to sign up for a student apphub account to legally unlock your device or downgrade to a pre-NoDo ROM & unlock via a hack like Chevron Unlocker. There's a few threads around XDA about this.
See these;
NODO jailbreaking，100% sure
ChevronWP7 Unlocker & Cert download
You'll also need a side loader app such as;
TouchExperience WPDM public release
I'm at OS Version 7.0.7390.0. I believe that's the NoDo update, right? Do I use the first link to unlock it then??

Correct, that is NoDo. The firt thread I posted shows a way to hack unlock by downgrading or else try this (How to register/developer Unlock Windows Phone 7 for free, even NoDo) thread which I used to unlock mine.
I'm not a student, so I don't have a student email ending in .edu. How do I downgrade? Thank you for all the help and everything by the way!
Find the Forum for your specific device & there should be a ROM for it you can download & flash. Remember, you'll have to reinstall all your apps, contacts, settings, etc.
I did the zune restore. I'm back to version .7008. Do I just follow both of the links you previously posted now?
Use this one, you'll need the ChevronWP7 Unlocker & Cert to complete the steps.
EDIT: Intsructions for the Unlocker Tool found here.
When I go to open the Chevron thing, I get an error message, that it can't find my phone or soemthing. That's not normal, is it?
No clue, I never used it. I can tell you, make sure you emailed yourself the cert & download & install it from you cell's hotmail. Also, make sure Zune is open.
At the unlocker & cert link, how do I do step 5?

Registry Editor
You'll need to side load it with Tom XAP Installer v1.2
I also recommend side loading Advanced Configuration Tool to enable Max Side Loaded apps.
Also make sure the Dev tools are installed...
What Dev tools??
I dont know what I'm doing wrong. I keep getting the message saying it can't communicate with my phone. :/
Oh, I think this is the WP7 Dev Tools FiyaFleye was talking about.
EDIT: Also, make sure your cell is not asleep or locked. See this video;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ozyq-PMD7g&feature=player_embedded
EDIT2: Just realized, that reg should be on your PC, not cell, duh. Open Start Menu, click on RUN, type in "regedit" without quotes. Click ok or hit enter key. Registry editor will open. Browse registry to the specified value in step 5. From what I read, this value should be added by the Dev tools, or you can manually add it. Once you successfully unlock your device, make sure to go to the how to thread & follow thesteps to prevent MS from relocking your device.
So the dev tools won't work if I have windows xp? That's unfortunate

Okay, I've changed the registry, and i re-downloaded the ChevronWP7 file, but I'm still getting the error message that says "Can't communicate with phone, please make sure phone is connected via USB - Please make sure Zune is running." when I try to open the file.
Could this be happening because I was running the NoDo update previously?

There's no need to decompress the archive in order to be able to edit a certain file. At least if it's text based. I for one open the xap with 7zip, then right click the xml file and choose "edit". I can then edit the file to my needs, save it and when I close 7zip it asks me to write the changes to the archive. Once this is done I can deploy the xap to my device and all is fine.
True, the result is exactly the same, but this way you save some time and reduce the amount of possible mistakes.

True, never thought about that. Sometimes we just overlook the simple solutions lol...
a little offtopic
however, i successfully deployed other versions of the same app earlier on mango so i dont think it had something to do with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES
it seems mango with tmode spl needs more work.
it get lots of different small bugs..
like i had 5x the same call in multitasking..
aborting calls almost crashed my phone today..
im thinking it was alround more stable on htceu spl
but i didnt try to fix anything yet..
maybe when i want to deploy something next time,
ill keep reporting..

Did someone tried to use IC_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in apps? Heard that too about the deactivation but I'm still looking for proof.
I have the same error 0x89731812 !
I can't deploy any XAP with Application Deployment. I can't debug too with Visual Studio Express (Failed to connect to device. Ensure the device is completly booted and connected to PC).
I have restarted PC and telephone and reinstalled SDK and Zune but the error is still here !
As far as I know the Mango update removes your unlock. I think the only method to keep it unlocked is to use the provxml method. I've got a Omnia 7 which got relocked after Mango beta update - then I restored my unlocked NoDo backup. I'll try the provxml method and tell you if it worked for me
yes its not that the device is not unlocked, it still is.
@zuifon:
did you notice at some point that windows tried to install drivers for your phone but couldnt find any?
it looks like only restore will resolve this error.. its still a beta..
but i dont know yet, i still didnt try it but thx for reporting,
so i wont have to check if reinstall the windows software fixxes it
My phone is unlocked by APPMFG.
Applications installed before Mango still work.
The message is the same if I disconnect the USB Cable, it's very curious !
Zune detects the phone but not the deployer.
I have deleted the phone in the periphal manager in Windows and driver have been redownloaded from Windows Update but the problem is the same.

the unknown driver? or the phone driver?
my device manager does not show any unknown driver..
but it found unknown (the phone) hardware at some point..

reported that he also had used a different phone but can not deploy with the computer anymore. not sure if he has the same error code.
It's a phone problem. I have the same problem with a second computer.
hey guys,
i updated my dev unlocked omnia 7 to mango and re-unlocked it after having finished the update process.
for some reason, i cannot deploy any .xap to my phone, regardless of having ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES or not.
the software deployment software keeps telling me "the remotehost has closed the connection".
anyone have an idea? this is majorly annoying for me.
cheers,

hey，I just think we have the same problem as you described，and i resolved it by my friends help. It's really easy, hey hey, just try to change it on another Universal Serial Bus. Hope can help you~~
heh actually i never tried using another usb port..
i have zuned the backup, everything working again.
maybe update to mango in some days
What on earth could be causing this? My phone (Optimus7) was in service and it got new mainboard. After it came back i did the usual tricks to unlock it etc. but now the deploying ends to this 0x89731812 error no matter what i try. Could anyone have an idea on where to start looking for the cause?

Same here, i don't know if it's warranty repair-related, i don't remember if i unlocked it after that (i relocked it way before mango, that's for sure)...but i got no new mainboard, they just replaced some components (based on repair list sheet), it seems strange they changed something so important to break developer connectivity

Does anyone know if this could be repair-related or just software? i tried last chewron tool too, no changes, phone doesn't connect to "developer" tools.
I guess if there is any registry key related to developer connectivity, to check if they changed anything through some strange sw flash (hoping it's not really hw)
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 have successfully unlocked my Dell Venue Pro and i have 5 applications installed. Now when i do Hard reset I'd be able to install only 5 or 10 applications?¨
PS Sorry for my english
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).

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

zune should be opened in background.
or else reset your phone and then try to unlock it. Worked for me!!!
Exactly,keep Zune opened and do open out the lock screen.

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.
