I used chevron labs and it said it unlocked my phone and used my token..i still can't side load apps..
One site said it could be due to a pin lock..

We can't know if you don't tell us what program that is
I think he's talking about sideload apps that need higher privileges like WP7 Root tools if I'm not wrong here is the information: http://www.chevronwp7.com/post/12328024419/chevronwp7-labs-availability#comment-355833734
The token simply unlock your phone but you're Inter-op lock that means you can't install apps need system privileges.
I'm using Tom xap installer
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
You can try turning interop lock using this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334248 , it will also enable wifi tethering.
This should make most of the app work if not all
as far as i got
I get a error when side loading with xap deploy the root tools
error: failed to connect as device is pinl ocked.
i have unlock code if that helps
please help me thanx to all

Is your screen on your phone on when you're trying to deploy XAP's to it?!! If your screen is off or the lock screen showing, you'll get a message that the XAP can't be deployed because the device is PIN locked. At least that's what happens when I use the Windows Phone application deployment tool.

How about a factory Reset?
Hi all,
A friend with this device (the 4G one) got a forgotten lock screen somehow. I wanted to help bypass without losing data.
The lock screen only keeps asking for repeating entering the pin, it does not provide alternative such as google account (which we do have).
Please note the device is unrooted and I don't intend to root it or do any customization.
Help is appreciated.
Does your friend have a Samsung account? If so, you can use that to remotely unlock it from here: http://findmymobile.samsung.com/

I've always run ADB commands to rooted devices so I'm not sure if this will work but anyways here's a link that might be helpful.

Thank you but I already hard resetted and lost data as the owner chosen that. But I need to research this to a maximum as I found that my Nexus 4 with Lolipop also has this problem (and Nexus apparantly has no Samsung account ) . So if I get the lock screen forgotten, I'm in really big trouble! All expert advice is welcome please.
Hi, I am new to the Nokia 7 Plus forums, and I know that a bootloader unlocking method is sorely needed.
I would like to ask those who have ALREADY unlocked their bootloaders to send me the signature file they used in the "fastboot flashing unlock..." command.
By sending me this file, I can TRY to determine how the IMEI and Serial Number is used to generate the bootloader signature file and, If successful, I can release an unofficial bootloader unlocking method, for FREE.
OR IF SOMEBODY IS ROOTED, PLEASE FOLLOW THESE STEPS AND SEND ME THE FILE GENERATED AFTER:
1. Connect your phone to your PC with USB Debugging on
2. Open Command Prompt and type "adb shell".
3. Then type "su"
4. Then type "cd /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name"
5. Then type "ls -al"
6. Then, you will need to find the "mmcblk0p?" that is listed on the same line as "aboot" (e.g. mmcblk0p1)
7. Once you have found that, type "dd if=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/(the mmcblk0p that you got above) of=/sdcard/aboot.img"
8. Then send me the aboot.img file that is located on your phone's SD card.
This applies to all owners of the Nokia 5, 5.1, 6, 6.1, 7, 7+, 8, 8 Sirocco
I hope someone can help you here bro. Mine is locked or I'd definitely do it.
No one has done that, and it's not possible right now.

Well by looking on the threads around Nokia devices, it seems that there are people who used this method to unlock the bootloader
Hi, I have sent you a PM with the key for my Nokia 7. I hope you are able to find something out of them
Development is growing:laugh:
Hi everyone, a quick update:
My Nokia 7 Plus is currently in for repair so I will still try to decipher the signature files before I try any bootloader unlock, and I won't be trying to unlock the bootloader until I get my 7+ back from the shop, but once it gets back....
You're the man! I wish I can help you but unfortunately my device is locked.

My device is locked too, I will have to try and find out how the signature files are generated and test them on my own device (when I get it back)
Still in mail war with nokia. Let's hope they unlock it. First win is mine. They send the case higher up. So fingers crossed
Sent from my Nokia 7 plus using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I really hope we can figure something out. And pressure Nokia into unlocking the bootloader and release kernel sources.

It is possible. I've done it today. Paid for the signature file, applied it based on the instructions and tada I have unlocked the bootloader. It was a hard earned 5 dollars...
BTW would that aboot.img file be the boot image? Cuz I would need to extract mine and patch it with magisk to get root. Can you tell me how to pull it? Thanks. Signature file I'm not willing to share, sorry, as it probably contains my IMEI. But if you have a Nokia, I'll pay you the 5 bucks to get your own file which you can then reverse engineere.
5$ for unlocking is not a big deal,so don't waste time by finding how the serial number and IMEI number combination works to create bin...unlock the bootloader and try to make custom roms bro, spend time there
By the way I have unlocked and rooted my 7 plus ?

Stupid question, but will I be able to use OTA updated(mainly for android P when it comes out) without issues if I unlock the phone and root it beforehand?

Yes, you will be able to update. But you will lose root.

With root, not when modifying the system.

Has any work been done further on this? If not, would someone please let me know if they'd like to work together to figure this out. Does anyone know if the signature file that's sent to unlock contains an md5 hash?

We are out of luck already. The old unlock files do not work after the August update. Seems patched up. So, back to no official and/or unofficial unlock again
