Hello everybody,
first i am sorry for my english.
And now, i have bought Samsung Omnia 7 Unbranded with WP7.
At this momoment i have in my phone WP7.5. But my problem is, when it's locked and disabled WiFi AP function.
I tried some "how tos" yeasterday in time 7-9 hours, and i failed at unlocking my phone.
Have anybody some tested how to, for this problem?
Idealy status is (un)branded wp7.5 mango, unlocked, wifi ap&sharing internet active
Hi
To be able to unlock your device so you can get internet sharing you need to install a previous rom so that your os version is 7008 or lower and then you can Chevron unlock it. From here you need to update your phone to mango while keeping your phone unlocked (I do not know how to do this but it is possible). There is a final tool that needs to be used that allows you to access the registry I think it is called interop unlock or something. Once this is done you can use the tools to allows wirelss tethering on your phone. Sorry if this seems complicated.
Thanks

Alright. Here's the story.
I have a Windows 7 64bit computer
+ lg Quantum.
I recently upgraded to the official nodo upgrade
I tried to jailbreak (unlock) my phone and followed all the steps looking at various guides but i could never get pass the
"Uh oh" cannot commmunicate with your phone blah blah make sure that zune is up and ur phone is connected.
And no, im not resetting my phone
Is there a way to unlock after the nodo upgrade?
and if not is there a way to downgrade your wp7?
if you have nodo, than you can not unlock the device.
must make it before..
jap thats right...

Neither of the two posters above me is correct.
To get an official unlock, you have to buy a Marketplace developer account from Microsoft. These aren't available in all parts of the world yet, but where they are, they are considered the "official" option for side-loading apps. This is available on all phones and all versions.
To un-officially unlock your device, use the built-in registry editor in the LG manufacturer/diagnostics app. http://wmpoweruser.com/debranding-tutorial-for-lg-phones-to-hurry-nodo-along-needs-to-dev-unlock/ has the instructions to do so. Developer-unlock is just a registry key; a little searching on this forum will revela which one (I forget offhand).
To roll back your device to pre-NoDO (which will allow ChevronWP7 to work), connect it the Zune software, and then go to Settings -> Device -> Update. There should be an option to restore to the backup which was made when installing NoDo. Note that this is not reversible; you'll lose everything you did since the upgrade. Also note that while restoring this backup will downgrade the phone, simply factory-restting it will not.
The only reason why I want to unlock my device is so that i can install homebrew applications. Sorry i am not bright in technical areas, what does DEBRANDING your phone do?
and will Chevron work after i downgraded my phone?
Unlocking on LG phones works via MFG even after NoDo
yep, Gooddaytodie is correct - almost . Use the MFG registry editor as described step by step in this guide. This still works AFTER NoDo update. I did not unlock or hack my phone before I received the NoDo update.
You do not need to roll back! You don't have to debrand your phone either. Debranding is a change from ATT-US to 000-88 or something other than your current provider and is required if you want to obtain NoDo "unofficially". This can be done in the registry as well. But there is no need for you to do this.
You also don't need the chevron unlocker (in fact it won't work after the registry hack - but you don't need it because it's unlocked already).
Follow the steps in the link and you will have an unlocked phone. I hope you did not unnecessarily roll back yet .
good luck. If you have questions about steps in that guide, send me a PM and I will be glad to help.
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...

Guys, i'm new here just wanna figure out some points so i need expert like you guys able to help me (sorry to post in this forums as i'm new and not allowed to post in dev forums)
I'm in Thailand buying 1st windowsphone HTC Titan (should be UK release). I'm done chevron unlock for few weeks now, but cant find any benefit from it until now (i cant sideload any app)
1. How actually i can sideload app that has no needed interop unlock capabilities (what i need to install in my phone or desktop to sideload it) as i try some apps that said it needed no interop but it fails
2. How can i interop unlock my phone (my firmware is 7220)? as i see more difficualty than all of you guys, as i run my HTC connection and it's tell me that "the carrier is not existed in database......" so i think i cant use this way to interop my phone.
3. I wanna check out whether i fully unlocked by chevron or not? how can i know it is unlock? (the only app that i can sideload is Heatcliff's HTCINTEROPUNLOCK xap)
Please help i also dont understand MS in my country not support my language at all, may be because the piracy in my country is terribly high, but i'm not that kind of. I'm always support any developer that develop good applications for me and i'm also bought a lot of apps in my Iphone, Thinkpad tablet and my Blackberry. So thing for my HTC TITAN is that i just need it to support my language and Thai Keyboard, if it has to be charged i'll still willing. I like windowsphone now and want it to unleash it's full function for me
Any help please advise and appreciated

Hello,
I need to unlock my HTC Radar which is with WP 7.5 Mango OS version: 7.10.7740.16. I read a lot of posts and can not find solution. I wait till ChevronWP7 labs provide unlock tokens again. Yesterday I buy token follow the procedure and I receive message that my phone is unlocked. After that I try to use Tom XAP installer to install some Apps on my phone but it didn't work it says that my device is not unlocked. After that I try do deploy an Apps buy SDK tools: Application Deployment but again I receive an error that is listed here in the forums. I have to check if my device is unlocked or not but I am not quite sure how to do that. I start Windows Phone Developer Registration and it says that I am already registered and give me option to Unregistered is that mean I am with unlocked phone ? I want do deploy some apps to my phone please help. I read some treads here that says for my phone still not possible to unlock the phone because use driversv2 is this true or I just can not find the way to unlock my phone ? Also whit this ChevronWP7 unlocker how much apps I can deploy ?
You might have to interop unlock your phone. I'm just guessing her but it's worth a shot.
Hello,
is it possible to interop my phone ? Because I read some treads and they said no for new devices that uses mango drivers v2 is this true ?
Actually I just installed with Tom XAP installer this app: BatteryStatus4.1.xap in the tread says devive unlock without interop I think this means that my device is unlocked but not interop ?
Please suggest me what can I do to install more apps. I need to install Bulgarian keyboard I try but it can not install the XAP file also I want to install wi fi and Bluetooth fast switches, I need navigation program too and I see Navigon that may be will work fine.
Interop unlock will only be needed for some homebrew apps. You should be able to install other apps without interop unlock.
I think second Gen phones like Radar cannot be interop unlocked as of now.

I have some question about developer unlocking.
Since I living in the country that Windows Phone 7 didn't had its local keyboard (yet), I have to install app like native keyboard for WP7 which requires developer unlocked phone and I won't pay $100 per year just to install only 1 app. Also, I know how to unlock because I used to unlock my friend's phone.
1. Is the app which installed via sideload still work after the phone has been re-locked?
2. Is the same app from question #1 still work after I installed latest update? For example, I installed some app via sideload into the phone which has Windows Phone 7 pre-NoDo update, then update that phone to latest update.
1) No, sideloaded apps will stop working if the phone is re-locked. You'll get an (inaccurate but scary) message saying the app has been "revoked by Microsoft".
2) Installing the Mango update will re-lock your phone. For people with legit unlocks, this is trivial to fix. For everybody else... it depends on what phone you're on. Dell can't be unlocked by hacks at all, right now. LG can be unlocked easily via the built-in registry editor. Samsung can be unlocked easily via WindowBreak. HTC can't currently use WindowBreak but that should change soon, although it will be more complicated than for Samsung.
Also, the original ChevronWP7 Unlocker doesn't work anymore, even on pre-NoDo ROMs; the certificate has expired. You'd need to set the clocks way back.
