What if I roll back my windows phone to version earlier than 7700? Would i then be avaliable to developer unlock - root my windows phone? i have seen the guide that uses chevron wp7 unlocking tool with chevron certificate installed on windows phone and later you just need to run chevronwp7.exe application on computer... Now, with build 8107 i cant, i tried it but i get error message about something phone not being connected to zune, or device is in lock-screen, but its not true... I have also seen forums on this topic, and other htc 7 trophy users said that going back to older version and installing chevron unlocked their phone and with an sideload app they managed to remain it unlocked even though they later updated to latest version of mango... Sorry for my grammar, english is not my native language

A quick search of the forums and you would have found this answered many times.
You cannot currently unlock a phone that has the NoDo update. You can only unlock on versions of Windows Phone 7 before NoDo.
You could restore back to original firmware before the update. Unlock, make sure you apply no relock registry edits, then update again, and your unlock will remain.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I don't usually post (just lurk) but I recently got a Samsung Focus with WP7 and I want custom ringtones. I tried ChevronWP7 but get this:
Any and all help is appreciated.
I have an image but can't post it right now
Anyways, it says "sorry, but..."
- Zune is not active
- Unlock your device (PIN wise)
- Make sure your phone is connected via USB
I have done everything but it still won't work
I have idem problem :/
Please help !
Here on forum is a lot of answer. But the fastest for you will be this:
Check your phone for version what you have right now.
If its : 7.0.7390.0
Then u need to downgrade. And thats where am i stuck too ))
P.S.: Sorry if i am wrong, trying to help.
maybe you have reached your 10 xaps limit? I have the same issue after I side loaded 10 xaps, searching for Chevron with the limitation removed.

Hello everyone.
It may already be a topic like but I am not finding the solution.
my english is very bad and not quite know how to search here in the forum
I did update my Samsung SGH-I917 focus.
now its version is 7.0.7390.0.
After the update I could no longer unlock with Chevron and
install applications.
Whenever I try this message appears:
"-Please make sure it's connected using USB
-Please start the Zune application"
Somebody help me?
Thanks
Sorry for the bad English
If you updated through Zune, do this on the same machine:
Connect to Zune, click Phone-> Settings -> Update
You should have the option to restore there
Make sure you read prevent from relocking thread and/or install the app from the samsung tools thread...
you cant unlock with chevron once you update to nodo (at least currently). You'll have to reinstall your backup and go back to prenodo... unlock with chevron then use samsung tools and use that to prevent it from relocking. Once thats all done you can reupdate your phone to nodo and you will be fine. Its all here in the forum. Usually the threads you need are right on the first page of the windows phone general forum.
Good luck!

since I already thank you for your attention.
I did the restore and now they get to unlock chevronwp7.
But when I try to install apps by TOM XAP the following message appears:
"Make sure your phone was unlocked."
And also, this message appears
"This application is DRM protected."
What should I do?
Did the Chevron unlock work?
When you launch now Chevron, does it say "Re-Lock"?
Everytime I get to step 8 in the Bootloader unlocking process I receive an error message stating
"Please Log In.
The page you have requested can only be viewed by registered members. Please log in above.
If you arrived here from the HTCdev website and do not have an account, you can register now to gain access."
I honestly have no clue where to get support for this. I looked for a forum section on htcdev but couldn't find a thing. XDA is my home base. Its where I go when I need help so it seemed like the smart thing to do to ask here.
is anyone else having this problem. Is there an Alternate method to submitting the Unlock Token. I already have it via CMD. Please help in anyway you can. Thanks.
edit: I figured it out on my own. I didn't know that HTCdev was incompatable with Windows8s IE. Thankyou.

Htc dev runs on windows 8 just use the 2.0 usb port on your pc.Also use htc drivers 3.0.0.007 exe and than if it says failed to install drivers go to device manager and click on show hidden devices and re run the drivers and you'll be fine.If you see any yellow symbols click on them and click update driver than it'll say search automatically click no than no on have disk and than click on htc once the devices show and than it'll give a warning about drivers.Let it run and done
If they still fail to install switch usb ports.I have a windows 8 hp envy laptop and use it daily to root phones.
Can anybody help me?

you cant use chevron unlock... this is tooo old unlocker for first generation WP7 devices when Lumia phones not exists....
only way for unlock is if device have unlocked bootloader and flash custom ROM...
unfortunately for you, only Lumia 710, 800 and 900 can have unlocked bootloader....
P.S.
also is possible to unlock with official Micosoft developer unlock (free for students accounts and pay for developers)

What breaks the rules is begging. Please don't....It isn't helpful for others nor yourself, WP7 has a much smaller number of users these days, and not everyone visits here.
The chevron unlock method has long been shutdown. You can get an official Developer Unlock there days for $20 USD. Its quite inexpensive nowadays.
Anyways, what do you need Chevron for?
so, is there any procedures or way to deploy cracked apps in a locked device?

No, we do not support piracy.
is there any procedures in deploying xap files in nokia 610? without unlocking?
Only way buy app on Market.
hey, can anyone make me a free student dev account? i cant make one.. please make me..
As stated above, piracy (or discussion thereof) is against the forum rules. Please read them before you post again, and do not ask for cracked anything again.
