Hi, I have a samsung focus flash (omnia w) updated to wp 7.5 tango ( 7.10.8773.98); also the firmware has been updated to the latest version (2424.12.02.2). I also have the interop unlock, with wp7 root tools and relock prevent also installed.
now I'd like to upgrade to wp7.8, of course without loosing the interop unlock. I'm afraid I can't use zune, so If I use seven-eighter with phone in airplane mode plus prevent relock enabled on root tools (or relock prevent) will it work? any extra precautions to take?
I also read about hosts file modification to block access to microsoft server, will it useful?
thanks in advance
ok, work done, phone updated to wp7.8 and interop-unlock still working

Hello everybody,

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

and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263495 in this thread is a mango rom right? i have some question
2. if i flash this rom my phone will still unlock or it will lock
3. if it lock how can i unlock it again
sorry for my english
First question: What device do you have?
Second question: By "with unlock" do you just mean Chevron unlock, official Dev unlock, or Interop unlock? The instructions for the first and third are device-specific, but flashing an official ROM will always remove them. For the second, just unlock your phone again using the WP7 device registration tool.
As for unlocking a locked phone that is already on Mango (and that you don't want to roll back), there are a few options for dev unlock:
Buy a marketplace dev account from MS ($100).
Get a free marketplace dev account through DreamSpark (intended for students).
Put a CustClear.provxml file in the \Windows\ folder (must be done prior to upgrading), upgrade to Mango *WITHOUT* the latest HTC update (if you flash a ROM instead of upgrading in place, that file will be removed), and run Connection Setup.
Wait "a few weeks" until ChevronWP7 Labs is available, and pay the $9 for them to unlock your phone.
Note that if your phone is an HTC phone, as it seems, you need to be very wary of the latest HTC update or you won't be able to Interop-unlock at all, and the unofficial ways to Dev-unlock will mostly stop working. Don't install that update until you're fully unlocked. Even then, you'll lose access to the filesystem and registry DLLs.
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.

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.
I'm interop unlocked on a Samsung Focus running update: 7.10.8773.98
If I update to official 7.8 (7.10.8858.136) using Zune or JaxBot's tool will the phone stay interop unlocked?
I'm fairly sure that if I update through cab method interop will be preserved but I want to know for Zune.
My question also stands for all others with Samsung Omnia 7, LG, HD7 etc having update 7.10.8773.98. If all these phones update officialy (assume Zune) will the interop unlock be preserved?
Thanks
afaik people have reported that interop is preserved as long as you update the cabs while in airplane mode, also using wp root tools' "prevent relock" feature
zune, of course, would "invalidate" airplane mode, so...

just remembered about this thread:

If you changed your device ID, and didn't update in airplane mode, you can always soft reset to get your original device ID and then windowbreak again. Of course you lose all data in this process.
I have update to official 7.8 (7.10.8858.136) using JaxBot's tool .
The phone stay interop unlocked. 100%
must use prevent relock with WP root tools.
and edit hosts file: Alternatively, you can navigate to %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc and edit the hosts file, adding this line to the end:
192.168.1.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com
I have updated yesterday (March 23rd) via Zune. Interop works. I can still use provisioning and Root Tools works.
OS ver: 7.10.8862.144
PDA: KI4
NOTE: I didn't interop unlock my phone via WindowBreak but via xap.
Maybe someone who used WindowBreak can confirm.
LE: noticed that the WindoBreak provisioning entry is still there so there are good chances that interop still works for those with WindowBreak. Also Heathcliff's unlock should help
