I just got my Lumia 800 and would like to unlock it so I can sideload a few things. It's unlockable via ChevronWP7, but there are no more tokens for sale.
Anyone have a token they purchased and were unable to use that would like to sell it to me? Would that even work?
Thanks!
Unfortunately Microsoft only wanted a few people to have access to a fully unlocked device even via the official ChevronWP7.
To unlock your device, you will have to find a stock ROM for it that has a pre-nodo version. Unlock using legacy ChevronWP7 method, update your device and then apply INTEROP-unlock if applicable.
I am not sure if for a Nokia device firmwares lower than Mango are available publicly :-(

Thanks for the details. I'm not willing to go that far with my OS/firmware though. It bit too troublesome for just a few .xap installations.

Hello XDA-Developers Users,
should i unlock my WP7 device? Maybe you guys can help me to decide.
I realy want to use the Windows Phone Marketplace app for PC and the coming Windows Phone Device Manager, but i also want to wait for the No-Do Update.
What does microsoft think about unlocking his phone?
Thx
If you are going to unlock your phone, you should do it now because when the NoDo update becomes available, it will break the unlock and you won't be able to unlock your phone anymore (at least until someone figures out how to unlock it again).

i don't think so. i've tested this with my unlocked device. i would sideload an app into my phone and it would work fine. but if i clicked "relock" on chevron then when i try to access the app it told me that the app was not approved by microsoft and must be uninstalled
so i don't think sideloaded apps will still be functional after microsoft relocks the devises with the update

Will homebrew apps also don't work?
Julien Schapman's Windows Phone Device Manager will allow homebrew apps to be installed. There's no need for an "unlock" with WPDM.
this unlock is for locked sim carriers or locked app? Thanks
Dear developers,
I downloaded the latest windows phone 7 update, but it seems to relock my handset again ... I just needed the copy paste feature, so can I keep that and unlock my handset again?
Thank you soo much for your assistance.
Try doing a search before you post your question, as it has been answered one too many times.
You can't dev unlock your device once you have the NoDo update. You must unlock your device and apply the registry edit to keep it unlocked before you apply the update.
thanks for your kind support, but u didnt have to draw my attention to the searching part!
Tell us which handset you have...since LG handsets can be unlocked even after the update.
i have a lg optimus 7, so can i still do all the chevron thingy after the update?

Can you create one if you're not from USA nor have a USA credit card?
Are you kidding me.
ignore what people say about your sol, you just have to restore your device to the previous update using the zune software. i did it for my Samsung focus and got my device dev unlocked again. just make sure to do that registry hack to make your phone from relocking when you update it too NODO again.
I currently have a dev unlocked, unbranded, NODO updated, Samsung Focus!!!

here are instructions on how to unlock your phone after NoDo. I did this after upgrading my pristine LG Quantum to NoDo and then realized that I forgot to unlock first. You install the MFG app first by calling a number. Then you change your registry with MFG according to the post. Here are instructions on how to install the MFG app. Note that this works without Chevron. In fact, Chevron will not work after that (and would not even work after that before NoDo).
good luck
I have a Samsung Focus that I am trying to update. I am trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344
However, I don't understand this part:
Code:
4. Run Application Deployment, click on browse
--- for hTC phones, click on TouchXplorer.xap
--- for Omnia 7, click on WP7RootTools 0.5 alpha.xap
-- and click on open
Does my phone need to be unlocked to follow this? Should I do it with Chevron?

if you are not unlocked and upgrade to Mango you will have a hard time unlocking it within Mango (and won't be able to sideload). Unlock in pre-NoDo and then carry the unlock over to NoDo and Mango following the guide. yes, people have successfully carried their Chevron unlock over to NoDo and then Mango. You need to make sure that it cannot relock when you connect to Zune. The tools listed allow you to make the reg changes to do that.
i thought I was reading somewhere that it's not possible to unlock past 7004 or something like that, which was before NoDo? (using Chevron)

you are correct. I corrected my post. So you need to start with
A. NoDo Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7004 to OS February 2011 update and 7392 NoDo
So let me try to understand that, if my phone is unlocked now and when I update to mango it might might not unlock anymore, regardless if I got a SIM code from htc? I am new into this so I'm trying to get into it lol.......
I have a question regarding the official Mango update for my HTC Trophy. I unlocked 7004 via Chevron, did some hacks for preventing it from being relocked (via this thread) and updated to 7392 (NoDo). Everything is OK, device is still unlocked.
What should I do for preventing my device being relocked during the ongoing official Mango update?
Is there already some solution, or will it be after the official Mango release will appear in Zune?

I think we are talking about two different kinds of unlocking. I am referring to unlocking the phone for sideloading homebrew apps. If you upgrade to Mango you might not be able to sideload homebew apps that allow you to customize your phone until the gurus come up with a solution for Mango. Then there is SIM unlock to be able to use a device with a different SIM. I think that is what you are referring to. That will not change for you if you upgrade to Mango.

If you follow Ansar's tutorial you will see that there are preventions you can take to stay unlocked. You basically finished part A of his tutorial and can continue to part B with prerequisites for Mango upgrade.
B. MangoB2 Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7392 [NoDo] to OS 7403 and 7712
In your case 7712 will be 7720.68 once it is released.
When you have all prerequisits finished from Ansar's post you stop there and are ready for official Mango once it comes out.
Reports from people who were NoDo unlocked and proceeded to Mango are mixed. Some kept the unlock some didn't. If it doesn't stay unlocked you have to have the files ready on the device to be able to unlock it without going back to NoDo. This is what Ansar's post explains. For the HTC you will put a CustClear.provxml file in place that you can deploy to unlock it.
This post also explains how to keep it unlocked. You follow the guide to the point at which it does the actual Mango upgrade. That is where you stop and wait for the official one.
But even if your device is locked in Mango you can go back to a NoDo restore point you created before you went to Mango. All explained in the guides/tutorials above.

You think some of those who followed the Ansars guide or those who just upgraded from unlocked NoDo to Mango without any other hacks before update?
The second link is some other guide than Ansars, if I am right, I can choose which one to use?
Thanks for help!

those who just upgraded. I myself just upgraded but luckily for LG users there is an LG phone tool on the device that allows to modify the registry at any stage.
Yip. That's d mfg menu, and I love it..
Sent from my LG Optimus 7
Today I have succesfuly registered my ISIC student card with validity until december this year into the Microsoft Developer Account.
Now I have Chevron unlocked NoDo WP7 (HTC Trophy) with some modifications to prevent it from relocking during sync etc. I would like to unlock it via official Developer Account I now have.
1) If am not wrong - I should HR my phone, it will go to NoDo locked and then I can use application "Windows Phone Developer Registration" which will unlock my device and it will stay unlocked also after Mango update?
2) Is it possible by developer unlocked device to modify registry entries? I need to add one entry, so I will have Mango in my native language after update.
3) After one year, will it automatically lock my device and I will need to perform new ISIC validation, which will be in that day already expired?
4) If it will expire, will it hard reset or block my phone or will it stay in way it is, but it will not only be possible to side load xap's?
Thanks for answers!
Hi,
I have a Nokia Lumia 800, Locked to Orange UK, Unlocked using ChevronWP7. Running Mango 7.10.7740.16.
Could someone explain to me what INTEROP-UNLOCK is.
Also I used a ChevronWP7 code to hopefully start sending xap files to my phone using "Application Deployment" However I keep getting the error - 0x81030120.
Do I need to unlock my Orange branded phone before I can upload any application?
One application I have been trying to upload to my phone is RegistryEditor, however that along with all other apps from xda shows the error 0x81030120.
Any help would be great, or at least a point in the right direction.
Thanks!

Maybe the only apps that you tried to deploy were apps needing interop unlock?
Interop unlock is used to deploy applications that use interop services capabilities. Without interop unlock, these apps would give you error 0x81030120 when you try to deploy them.
I don't think interop unlock is possible yet on Nokia Lumia phones. It is a work in progress by jaxbot.
Here is a guide if you want to know more about Interop unlock.

Buying an unlock code is the only way that I know of - and even that is getting patched by Nokia. We can only hope that Nokia will allow official unlock for this phone soon.
