Hi All,
firstly ive searched all day on XDA to find out why im getting the 'sorry i'm having trouble communication...' when running ChevronWP7.exe but still can't get it to unlock.
A little info:
Previously i was no-do and had the chevron Unlock then i upgraded to Mango and realised that my phones not unlocked anymore. So after a couple of months i thought id try and install Mango with the unlock.
Ive successfully installed a pre-NODO rom but cant get past the next stage of doing the Chevron unlock coz of this problem. Its really annoying me. What can i do to get past this stage? have i installed the wrong rom or something???
all advice will be appreciated.
Samsung Omnia 7 (On T-Mobile network)
OS version 7.0.7004.0
thanks
Your best bet is to contact them directly at [email protected]. Their twitter http://twitter.com/#!/ChevronWP7 also has some information you may want to check out to see if it applies to you.
You need to use old Zune (which came with old drivers and connectivity tool but I can't tell you exact version), and change date on your PC/phone to 2010 because Chevron's certificate is expired now.

Hi, I am new to WP7. I wanted to know how I can get windows Mango on my device. I found a few links, but got lost the instant I read how to do it. I have no idea what a chevron etc. is. Im using a Samsung Focus running Nodo 7390 and would like to know how to get started on getting mango on my device. Thank you in advance.

I apologize for being such a noob. I was also wondering if there's a step by step instructions on how to get mango on my device. Like what I need to do to my device before hand, do I need to upgrade or downgrade before, things like that.
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.
Hello everybody,
first i am sorry for my english.
And now, i have bought Samsung Omnia 7 Unbranded with WP7.

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

Hi i undertand i want to do this way, but i still have some problem i want to ask anybody, who tried it for tested manuals.
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.
Hi guys. So i bought a motorola g pure, xt2163-4 pvt1 with universal software. About 1 year ago from facebook. Phone looked new and it was "factory unlocked" However last night i had an android 12 update, wich i did, but now after the update, my network is locked. And the built in unlock tool at about phone-device unlock, wont seem to work, i get (SERVER COMMUNICATION ERROR CODE=200 MSG=SERVER_NO_CONTENT).
Isaw a couple of fixes on google, however they are for diferent divices and old, i was wondering if anyone here has a solution for this problem. I really apreciate the help. Thanks for reading.
I have the same issue but I don't have an unlocking app or was unlocked via server. Worked fine for months until after the Android 12 update.
ok so ima post a soultion that worked for me. My phone was unlocked via global unlocked, is just a gues, why? well last night i was about to unlock it with global unlock, downloaded the software, hoocked my phone, place my phone in fassboot, conected my pphone to the app, just to chekit it, i did not had any credits to use that unlock option, after reboot, phone was unlocked againg. so you might wanna give it a try. i even wipe the phone to see if the unlocked was ok after factory reset, and it was. so hope this works for someone else.
