Hi,
I have been fanboy of Nokia and MS.
Till now, I was using Nokia N8 (yeah, Symbian).
I have recently bought Samsung Omnia W I8350 (got to ditch nokia for high price of lumia)
So I am new to WP platform. However I have well experience in custom ROM makings and flashing symbian phones (even Symbian needs jailbreak kinda thing to install applications outside store).
What are the stuff that I need to do/get to completely unlock my Omnia without any restrictions.
I have seen Interop-lock and other developer locks.
But just gimme single guide to unlock all the available options.
I would like to start developing apps (just trails) as soon as possible
Developer unlock can be done using Chevron token. Costs $9.
Developer unlock methods using the older Chevron cert method is not possible on 2nd Gen devices.
Check this link for interop unlock.
This link provides a newer method of interop unlock for Samsung devices only. I have not tried it though.

Hello
Iwould like to know if its possible to jailbreak my Dell ? Or to install a new Rom (as developer)
System nummer: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware:2250,1800.7392.212
Is that possible to to somethink?
A downgrade?
I wish I had an answer, Bump!!!
Bump ?
Can somebody explain the method?
There is no chance to jailbrake this phone now, because after update Chevron doesn't save, there is now flash mode like HTC, so u won't be able upload any custom rom, there is no registry editor and other critical features... Dell needs strong community like HTC to done it... You'll be able only to upgrade your phone to mango RTM 7720 as other devices... Good Luck!
To me when I hear jailbreak I think of the iOS where you get all apps for free from the marketplace. I don't like doing that. If you're wanting your phone unlocked to do sideloading then all that info is right here in this forum. I've side-loaded plenty so it should be pretty easy to find. I just don't like the term jailbreaking even if that's not what you meant.
You can but you will need a student developers acc but that's it you can't do it any other way and max apps you can have are 3
i can't find any jailbreak steps for my phone, can any one help here, in the model says Samsung SGH-i667, but it looks like the Omnia W, same specs, and so on
i try to jailbreak with all the tools that i used for the focus, but no luck, i try usb mass storage steps like the omnia 7 , but didnt go, i wonder if i can downgrade safe, since it comes with mango 7.5, plus has other options like call block, internet sharing, plus other.
if any one would like to provide any help. if i am one with this model we will see more people to get this device soon
By "jailbreak" I assume you mean dev-unlock. I'd suggest either getting a developer account from MS ($100, unless you're a student in which case it's free through DreamSpark) or waiting for ChevronWP7 Labs, which will be cheap but nobody knows when it will be available. For that matter, just find somebody who has official unlock, and ask them to unlock your phone for long enough to install the tools required to prevent the phone from re-locking (which are also required to run homebrew on Mango).
I doubt you're going to find a pre-NoDo ROM that can be flashed to your device, but if you do you could use ChevronWP7 Unlock. It's possible to carry unlocks through the official updates if you do that. No idea what ROMs are available for Samsung devices, sorry.
We have no idea what a Samsung SGH-i667 is. The Omnia W is Samsung GT-8350
Would you post an image?
but in the about, says Samsung i677 ..?

sure i can post the image, but what i search true the GSMarena.com i found out it calls Samsung Omnia W I8350

does any one know if it safe to downgrade this, ?
but in the about, says Samsung i677 ..?
Guys, we found a way how to flash a ROM with an open one.
But we need these files, that are NOT free:
http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ligtelgsm.com.br%2Fdownloads%2Fclass%2Findex.php%3Fcat%3D63%26sub%3D76%26prog%3D4646%26action%3Dview&hl=pt-PT&langpair=auto%7Cen&tbb=1&ie=ISO-8859-1
I can buy it for 21 USD, but will anybody participate?
3 or 5 USD? Do you agree?
The procedure is this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2524490/ScreenShots/I677.pdf
I "re-animated" my HTC 7 Pro by replacing the digitizer and upgrading the internal memory.
It worked and the phone is just great with its keyboard.
After my HTC 7 Pro broke some months ago, I bought a Lumia 800. Great phone but I miss the keyboard, that's why I tried now to repair the old HTC 7 Pro.
What I really like with my Lumia is the NOKIA drive - just perfect, but the phone has only a poor battery life when doing the traffic navigation.
The HTC 7 Pro has a better battery, that's why I would like to use if for traffic navigation.
Is there any way to install NOKIA drive on a HTC 7 Pro?
It is a standard (Swiss) HTC 7 Pro, unlocked (all sim cards work) and it has all HTC updates.
Do I need to root the phone? How does this work?
I would like to keep the operating system like it is (it works great) - thus, is there any chance to convince the phone to install the NOKIA drive app?
I am a nweby with all this flashing/rooting/... stuff. Any information, background knowledge, guide (for the HTC 7 Pro) would be really great!
Thank you in advance!
Best,
Peter
Using dev-unlock, you could install the Nokia Marketplace XAP (see my signature) but the Nokia Drive app, although you could install it, would refuse to run on your non-Nokia phone. With full-unlock (i.e. custom ROM) you could either trick it into running (I don't know if this is safe, but it's possible) or install a modified version of the app (which is technically illegal in much of the world but pretty common), though.

i dont get it, it must be because i m a newb. i read news saying nokia drive is now opened to other windows phone 7. i just downloaded the nokia drive 3.0.0.0.xap (although no idea yet what to do with it .
i also read that availability on windows phone will depend on phone maker decision.
could you please be more specific about "tricking it into running", or how to get and obtain a modified version of the app?
i m very surprised that i did not find more threads about installing this very good app on our pro 7

Hello, I have been looking for unlocking methods for Lumia 510,I have searched a lot and could only find for Lumia 610. Will the method for Lumia 610 work for 510 because they have the exactly same hardware only difference is the RAM and memory.
All I want to achieve is the ability to take screen shots.
Lumia 510 Windows Phone 7.8

if you want full unlocked device, get one of HTC WP7 models or Samsung Omnia7... also Lumia 710, 800 and 900 have possibility to use full unlocked ROM's but must have qualcomm bootloader
Android have many possibility because is open platform... WP is different but stable, fluid and safer...

Problems with games on Windows Phone 8 Nokia Lumia
Hello I have a Nokia Lumia 620, and tried to install a game called Lets Golf 2 version 1.3.0.0 by the method developer what happens is that when you finished installing and everything, I'll play the game and simply service begins is black screen and comes back, I've tried everything and I can not solve the problem, does anyone know help me with this problem is the same and I realized that the site does not have a straight section for Lumia 620, 720 and 520, could create it has many Brazilians who have these devices and do not stir it has sites with accurate information ....
There is one more thing already has news of some jailbreak for Windows Phone 8, especially the line of Nokia Lumia?
Thank you for your attention
i personally have installed it and everything works right don't know the version though. As for jail-breaking the phone its not called jail-breaking that's for apple. Its simply called unlocking and no one has been able to yet. when there is a way the development part of the forum on the windows 8 would light up with roms and explanations on how to unlock the Nokia phones. Im waiting on it too and as with many others.
