I desperately need help
I purchased a Samsung Focus 1.3 ATT phone about a month ago.
Which I was able to chevron unlock and upgrade till Mango.
Later, now I thought of increasing the memory to onbaord 8 GB+ 16 GB micor SD card.
In order to install the memory card, I would have to reset the phone, so that it recognizes the newly installed memory module, I searched high and low and could not find any resource to install the micro SD card without loosing the developer unlock.
Hence I decided to reset it, once the memory module was installed I tried restoring it to my first restore point where I could re unlock my windows phone. The first restore point had ver 7008 which is pre nodo. But since the memory size was different the restoration failed.
So I decided to remove the memory card and then restore it to 7008, which worked but now I am unable to chevron unlock, I have also tried flashing the factory rom to version 7004 and then trying, still no success.
Somebody, please provide me a solution or please unlock the device for me.
Its done
I finally got it chevron unlocked again
This time I flashed the rom available for Rogers instead of ATT and it worked, I was able to chevron unlock, I am not sure why it didnt work when my cell had ATT rom, which is the actual rom that should be there.

I'm new to hacking the WP7 and I have a Samsung Focus. I've tried to update to Mango to no avail. I'm to a point now that I know I need to flash to a 7004 ROM in order to install the NoDo update and bounce up to Mangos with all the sideloaded apps or whatever. The only problem is that I can't find out how to revert back to 7004, and I DO have a backup of my Original 7390 and have that backed up about 2 other times just in case.
So my question here is, How can I revert to 7004 and bounce up to the Mango Beta? Or can I go from 7390 to Mango? I tried Chevron but found out it doesn't work with any version of the software besides 7004.
All help will be appreciated.
What error are you getting when try to update?
Is it 80180048?
No...I can't unlock the device to apply the .xap files to it. I'm on version 7390 and need to go back to 7004 for ChevronWP7 to work and unlock my phone.
Just now noticed you have a Nodo backup...you need your pre-Nodo backup... which I'm guessing that you didn't think to make a copy of.
You can't unlock your phone in Nodo... without being a registered developer.
So you need to roll back to pre-Nodo in order to unlock it ... you have 2 options.
I can only assume that you know how to restore to a back up in Zune. In case you don't in Zune you click settings, select phone, click update and if you have a back up then you will have a restore option. If it's recognizing your phone you should have a back up there.
A phones backup is unique to 1 device... so if somehow you don't have your back up you will have to move onto option 2 which is flashing your phone.
There's is one other option... the Chevron team is eventually going to release a unlocking tool for Nodo at a small fee. It's been coming soon since June 17... so only a matter of time.
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.
My friend stumbled on a samsung focus windows phone 7. It had the nodo update 7390, ive tried to use chevron unlock to install some of the xap's that helps prevent it from relocking it when updating it, but the chevron unlock wont work at all i keep getting the error that says i have to make sure my device is connected and zune software installed but i do have everything set up correctly and still i get that error Can some one please help me? Am I missing something? i know i have done it before but now it just doesnt want to work anymore. Thanks in advance
I am facing the same issue, I had my Samsung Focus chevron + interop unlocked and upgraded to Mango. All was well, I decided to upgrade memory, hence I installed a 16 GB micro SD card. For installing it I had to reset the phone. Now to have it unlocked again, I tried restoring to my previous restore point 7008 version, which didnt work, probably because of the change in the memory size, I restored to 7008 by removing the micro SD card but now I could not manage to get unlocked again, I suppose Chevron labs certificate has either expired or they have disabled the feature to unlock using the chevron tool.
Please provide me an alternate method to developer unlock my samsung focus or a method to install micro SD without resetting.
@ZeroBreak: it's quite well documented online than ChevronWP7 Unlock doesn't work on NoDo. You need to be on build 7004 or 7008. It wasn't supposed to work at all, and was "fixed" in 7389 and later builds.
@amyth1884: Changing the storage always requires a hard reset, and as you noticed, you can't restore a backup from a different storage size.
For both of you: There are other ways to get dev-unlock. Marketplace developer account is the official way ($99 unless you're a student). A semi-official Chevron WP7 Labs has been "coming soon" for a while, $9. Anybody who has an official account can also unlock multiple phones, so if you've got a friend with an account but not using all his or her unlock slots, that may work.
Hi. So I'm quite new to this and I have done a fair share of googling and searching but I still need some answers. I've got an HTC 7 Mozart on Mango 7.10.7740.16 which is Root Tools Unlocked. Recently my phones been acting up ( the wifi seems to come and go ). I was wondering what is the easiest way to restore the firmware or just reset the phone (much like an iphone restore) while keeping the root tools unlock. Any help will be well appreciated. Thanks :good:
You have to run:
Setting>Informations>More infos>slide down and tap "reset phone".
Depending on your firmware version (the OS version is irrelevant), it may not be possible to reset the phone while keeping the unlock. Don't follow Budniu's directions unless you want to wipe everything, including your data and unlocks. If you've updated the phoen through Zune, or made any restore points manually, you can roll the phone back to the exact state it was in then (before the update, if that's how you took the backup). You'll lose any changes, good or bad, made since then.
Hi! thanks for your replies. The firmware revision number is: 2250.21.40600.061 and the bootloader is 4.6.2250.0 (129193) if that makes any difference.
Your firmware version is compatible with the HTC Interop Unlock hack and the installation of WP7 Root Tools, so if you wanted to do a hard reset and then re-unlock, that could be done (you'd need some way to dev-unlock the phone, though). You would still lose all data currently on the phone, though.
Good day to all,
my first post after trying everything
I am currently on BLN-TL10C01B380 EMUI 5.01 Android 7 on my 6x BLN-TL10
AFTER I messed up by running a OTA on rooted and unofficial unlocked previous EMUI/Android version.
Well, device is back alive BUT I lost the OEM Unlock function in developers and what's worse the external SD card is bricked. Apparently pin codes are lost after a full wipe, update to different android version and any previous used external card won't be accessible anymore.It is asking for SDcard PIN though but the one I used is getting rejected. ..
I tried several recovery apps on mobile and PC but no success. I removed the extSD to be save and now this !!
Additional problem, I need ROOT back ! I tried multi tool, paid services etc.... NO OEMUNLOCK option visible. I even tried official unlock but got told I have to visit Huawei Center. Which I cannot since I am in Swaziland/Africa.
A rollback is not available for this model. Could I use firmware finder? Move to older version?
Any help is greatly appreciated
No advise? Am I the only one? ... no phone isn't stolen either.
At first relock bootloader.the phone will be reset factory.then oem unlock.and again bootloader unlock and root the phone
