[Q] Unlock Samsung Focus - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to unlock my Samsung Focus with ChevronWP7 and it works. The thing is though, it's like only a temporary unlock and it fast loses its unlock and re-locked again. Now that I'm on NoDo, I have to go back to the stock rom to unlock it again...
Anyway to unlock from NoDo or how to at least keep the unlock intact?

When unlocked install deploy the app "Samsung Tools" and than activate "prevent Re-Lock" than apply.

Ok, Thank You!

To reinstall chevron unlock from NODO can I roll back to pre-nodo?

Title says it all. I have my pre-nodo back up but I don't have the original launch version of the OS. At first I didn't care that nodo re-locked it. My HTC surround is not even my main device anymore. Still, I figured it be cool to unlock it again before going Mango. If I am unable to do the chevron unlock from pre-nodo is their currently any other way to unlock the device w/o a student account or paying the $99 developer fee?
prenodo is the only other way... restore ur prenodo back then unlock it...
I rolled back to 7390 and am having trouble unlocking. Can it be unlocked from here? I'm getting:
please make sure it is connected using usb
please start zune application
Edit: just searched and read that I can. Is it possible to flash 7004 without a backup? This is for an HTC surround
yes if there is a rom available u can flash it...

Is there no way for me to unlock my phone now?

I can't figure out how to unlock my phone anymore. I originally unlocked 7008 with Chevron, but lost the unlock upon updating to Mango. My only backup, as of now, is of 7392.
I couldn't get the DFT HSPL thing to load on my phone. I have no interest in developing, but I do enjoy being able to modify some more advanced settings such as custom colors.
EDIT: My phone is an T-Mobile HTC HD7. I attempted to flash it earlier by HSPL, but it failed. Now when I load the bootloader, it just says "PD29110 SS-BC (4K). Is my bootloader damaged? I can't seem to get into USB mode.

1 Connect your phone with the pc
2 Launch zune (log on on zune)
3 unlock your screen on your cellphone
(scroll a little on the menu for that can't back lock the screen)
4 open your xap deploy programm
5 choose the xap
6 deploy on your phone.
That's it
That's what I do

but it's for samsung not for hTc.
Dude your device is not interop unlocked (it hasn't worked yet)...That error clearly indicates that your device is not interop unlocked. Try to install other app which doesn't require interop unlock and tell us what error do you get now?
Probably, you wont get any error.

yup that's what i have figured out that the interop unlock didn't work so i just have to install an interop unlocked rom till interop unlock comes out for mango's latest update.
Use DFT's HTC custom roms.
dont know if this will work for you but when i had that problem i used a different rom,,,,,,that worked

[Q] Interop unlock, unsolvable problem?

Hey XDA'ers,
I have the following problem, I had my phone interop unlocked, a samsung omnia 7, now I resetted it and it deleted the interop unlock. Well, no problem there cause I had my Token from chevronlabs, no interop, but OK.
So now I want to interop again, but the problem is the samsung firmware update KK2... I didn't have the problem back then, because it doesn't relock your phone but now I can't interop unlock and that's quite a pity, how do I solve this?
So: When I try windowsbreak or the Heathcliff74 unlocks the options don't appear in diagnostics, because of the KK2 update, then again, is this solvable?
Thanks,
Kristan
Roll back to a previous backup, or flash a stock ROM with an older firmware, or unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM.
Since you've already hard-reset, the second may be the best option. Up to you, though.
