[Q] how to interop unlock samsung omnia w - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

now my samsung omnia w is dev unlocked from APP HUB via student account.
But my phone still not interop unlock. i used all the ways. it can't show "windowbreak" or "system tweak" in GPRS menu.
please help me to interop unlock.............

Downgrade your firmware and/or your Diagnostics app. The first and easiest thing to do is uninstall Diagnostics from the app list, then re-install it from the phone dialer. Check GPRS again.
If they're still not there, that means your firmware version is too high to use this kind of hack (both of them work the same way). If you have installed a Samsung firmware update, you'll need to roll back the phone to the backup that Zune should have created when installing it. If you don't have a backup, or if rolling back doesn't let you interop-unlock, then you'll need to find a stock ROM image with a lower firmware version, and flash it to your phone.
Those are the only currently known options, unless you want to wait for somebody to find a new way to interop-unlock your phone. Such a way might exist, but don't hold your breath as people have been looking for such things for a while and there's no guarantee when one will be found.

Please need to unlock my omnia w
OS version : 7.10.8107.79
Firmware version : 2424.12.01.1
Bootloader version : 6.1.2.0

I Think So.......
if u like my post hit thanks

my omnia w is dev unlocked , 7.10.8107 but trying to interop unlock and i think it must be a small thing which does interop unlock to dev unlock fones...
Heathcliff ,
you can modify the code of interop unlock.xap so tat it unlocks 7.10.8107 2nd gen fones

Le sigh, so many people posting, so little reading comprehension...
* WindowBreak is an interop-unlock. It can be used on at least some second-gen Samsung phones.
* Heathcliff74's Interop Unlock XAP for Samsung uses exactly the same hack as WindowBreak! It can be used on the same phones, including gen2 ones.
* Whether gen1 or gen2, any Samsung phones with the recent Samsung firmware updates installed will not be able to use hacks of that type. It's not something that Heathcliff74 can do anything about; it's just the way the hack works (they put a file on the phone, but the new firmware causes the phone to not check the location where that file goes anymore).
* There are people working on new ways to unlock Samsung (and HTC, and Nokia, and even Dell) phones!

wtf??hmmm..i dont think i get my omnia w interop unlocked by any means..at least ms should have allowed int unlocking and stating that it would void your warranty..like how android allows rooting and states rooting voids warranty(if u want to claim warranty for some reason just its as simple as unrooting in android)
how about this??going to a samsung service centre and asking them to flash my phone to 7720 or 7740..coz everybody knows omnia w when release has 7720 build of mango and because of this reason only some of and very few of the omnia w owners have int unlocked their phones..
DEVS..please help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interop unlocking is simply the byproduct of shoddy OEM apps, its not a feature, ms didn't have to tell us diddly squat about it not doing it because it was never meant to do it. There maybe hope, but there aren't enough developers, we need folk like you to do the work as well, im trying, i now know what won't work, i know what might work if we can do things but im still learning, I can't scratch the surface of what the big players on here know so we must all work together and not rely on others

guys take a look at this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919217
this is a file explorer that can set maxunsignedapp value in registry..dev unlocked phone is enough..so if u get a student license somehow, u can sideload it to ur omnia w and set maxunsignedapp value to more than 300..boom u r interop unlocked(cuz thats what heathcliff74 has said in his website http://www.wp7roottools.com/ that if u have maxunsigned app value more than 300 u r interop unlocked)
just try u dev-unlocked omnia-ed dudes!!!

Where does it say that to edit the reg with that program doesn't require interop unlock?

[Q] How do I re-unlock my Windows Phone 7 after the latest update?

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

[q] nodo jailbreak

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.

[Q] Samsung Omnia i8700 WP7.5 and unlock

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

Unlocking HTC Radar WP7.5 Mango

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.

So I will not get interop access on my phone ever???
ooops... I am getting my new Omnia W I8350 on this weekend. I got to watch out this
there is a second option though. This option costs 9$. It is called the "chevronwp7" unlock and from that one you will be able to do an interop unlock. There is a thread for after you have done chevron to interop unlock your phone. with chevronwp7 you dont do anything just follow instructions and that is it. http://windowsphonehacker.com/artic...ck_your_samsung_wp7_with_windowbreak-12-23-11 That is the thread for that and also you will need a xap deployer which also there is one in the forum or you can use the offical one from microsoft.
not working for me as well
Today I've got my new Omnia W and there is diagnosis app v1109 which is not showing any custom provisioned xml under gprs menu. Even Im unlocked using my Microsoft developer's account, Im unable to be interop-unlocked

Just FYI, WindowBreak and Heathcliff's interop unlock methods are the same. WindowBreak just uses browser zip viewer and does not need dev unlock first, Heathcliff's interop unlock uses xap deployer's unzipping vulnerability, but to be able to deploy xaps you need dev unlock first. So if WindowBreak does not work, neither does Heathcliff's unlock (They are the same as I said, both use the same unzipping vulnerability, just in different parts of the OS)
well it looks like he doesnt have anymore options now but chevronwp7. If someone cant find a solution than he well have to pay 9$ to get his phone unlocked.
I need more confirmation on this, please. Can people with diagnostics app version 1109 do some tests for me?
Anyone here have diagnostics version 1109 and already have it Chevron unlocked?
If so, please run the WebServer application and download \Windows\DiagnosticsApp.xap. Attach it for me to analyze.
Also, try Heathcliff's method. This will isolate whether the problem is truly a diagnostics app update, or something else.
Much thanks.
I tried all methods i was able to find and nothing worked
So i made "student" unlock and here is that XAP.
