ChevronWP7 Unlocker & Cert download - *here* + video tutorial - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

As people may know, Chevron have removed their unlocker download for WP7 so I thought I'd archive it and make it available for everyone here still:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JY0ZFVKD
EDIT: Thanks to Cendaryn we also have the required security certificate - the easiest way (thanks to Talys) to install the cert and unlock your WP7 is to do as follows:
1. Unzip file, and attach chevronwp7.cer (see below for file) to an e-mail to yourself
2. Open email in WP7
3. Tap attachment once, turns it into a shield, tap it again, goes to install certificate screen with white letters on black screen
4. Click install at the bottom
5. Make sure registry is modified:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
I think the WP7 developer tools from MS does this, but you can add it in manually (it's a 32bit DWORD)
6. Plug in phone and leave Zune running
7. Run chevronwp7.exe, click both checkboxes
8. Click unlock
Excellent video tutorial here thanks to Jaxbot
[Edit 8th Dec 2010]
Worried that Microsoft has relocked your phone? They haven't, look here
[Edit 20th January 2011]
Want to keep your unlocked HTC from re-locking every sync? See here
Hope this helps someone.

Nice but they removed the cert as well - so until we don't have that the unlocker itself is pretty useless

Donations are welcome *gggg* Just a joke
I gave Bing a try and found it somewhere in Asia...

By the way, the easiest way to install the .cer is to email it to yourself, then tap the attachment. WP7 comes up with a screen that confirms that you want to install the cert

but it isn't working for me now

ceesheim: what is the problem? cert and exe both worked for me (though I downloaded the chevronwp7.exe elsewhere)

its gifs me an error "trouble with connection"
how did you installed the .cert " I mailed it "

That worked for me... then you must install Windows Phone Developer tools to get the app loader from Microsoft, which is where I'm at now.

I had the phone already unlocked before and I relocked it again (dump dump) and it doesn't work any more
I did the same as you .
where did you download it ?

Gah!!! Sorry to hear that
Factory reset? If you do it, please let us know if it works.

Worked fine on my Focus, even after the tool was pulled (shhh.... )

Have you:
* unzipped the cert file?
* sent the .cert to your WP7 via Mail?
* installed it on the device?
It worked pretty nice here on my HTC HD7

[HTC] Prevent WP7 from Relocking

This is discussed elsewhere, but deep within other threads, so I wanted to give it it's own thread to help people in finding out how to prevent Zune from relocking WP7 devices. It only works on HTC devices for now because TouchXplorer only works for HTC devices.
1. Install TouchXplorer
2. Install HTC Connection Setup
3. Download and extract this zip file to your PC.
4. Deploy the extracted XAP to your device
5. If XBMOD.Files.Deployer does not automatically run, run it from your App list on your device.
6. Using TouchXplorer on your device, copy \My Documents\My Ringtones\CustClear.provxml to \Windows\
7. Run HTC Connection Setup on your device, hit the ok button (with the check mark) to let it provision.
8. You're done.
If you unlock with ChevronWP7, apply this hack, and then for some reason your phone relocks, refer to DanielNTX's post to get it unlocked again. You need to install a new certificate, provided on his post.
All credit goes to xboxmod and his HTC Registry Editing thread and HTC WP7 Apps thread.
Hope it works for me... "thanks"
I tried this before and it didn't work. It revoked every application I had downloaded.
Yeah I had this done for a while but my question is can I uninstall the program once I've done everything else? It looks ugly in my app list =/
This Didn't work for me, had finally got it unlocked, came back 3 hours later, connected with this installed and also with flight mode on and now my phone's relocked. Make sure to block Windows Mobile Zune Communication Service from your firewall, while that was blocked it didn't relock

I don't bother with flight mode or any of the other tweaks and it still works for me. What device do you have?
Thanks. This works well. Finally, I don't need to unlock everytime after zune syncing.
Do you think this patch will be removed by MS at the next update as well as chevron unlock?
I think that chevron (the phone unlocker) doesn't work after OSupdate.
Yes, the method that ChevronWP7 uses will be disabled in the update... but that doesn't mean it won't be cracked open again.
After applying this patch there are 2 files in the My Ringtones dir - one of them is restoreCustClear.provxml file, which means it will revert the registry changes done by the first provxml file (custClear.provxml).
Do you think that if I activate my phone the Marketplace will start working as usual - downloading any apps without the error "can't get info right now... come back after a little while" , AFTER I've installed the above patch for not relocking the phone? I.e. in other words can I side-load apps and simultaneously continue to use the legacy Marketplace without any problems?
@thesecondsfade, applied the patch on my HD2.
Thanks

Yes, you can sideload and download from the Marketplace simultaneously. I do it now on my HD7. It should be the same with an activated HD2.

PS: Unlocked my device yesterday and now it's still unlocked.. I downloaded and deployed youtube, shazam and other stuff without problem.. Strange though cause every one had this problem after unlocking and sync with Zune...But I don't!
So...do i have to make this hack or not?

Try it again. See what happens.

NODO jailbreaking,100% sure。

I'M A CHINESE.I hope my experience can help all WP7 fans. If this thread help you,It's my pleasure.
detail steps:
1. MAKE sure your phone has a 7004 or 7008 rom,than used chevronWP7.cer and chevronWP7.EXE to unlock your WP7. (this is step you can find in this forum)
2. After UNLOCK! prevent relocked. (belows is the easy way to edit your registry)
for HTC download xap in http://dl.dbank.com/c0u5q3xic8 and sideload it to your phone and run it ,press the green button.
for Samsung devices,see post #17 in this thread.
3. Update to NoDo via zune and your device still in unlocked state! (for some people cannot get nodo from zune, see below method,100% successful rate.)
methods to get zune nodo. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012189 !!!!
Download USAIP.pbk open it and connect to EUROIP PPTP Hungary with
USERNAME: demo
PASSWORD: demo
Connect your phone to the PC
Disable WIFI in your phone but be sure not to open FLIGHT MODE
OPEN "Use cellular data connection to check for updates" in SETTINGS-UPDATE, AND KEEP YOUR PHONE IN THIS SCREEN
Start Zune and keep it running all the time
Manually search for an update within Zune (setting-phone-update)
After a few seconds (about 20-25 seconds for me) disable "Use cellular data connection to check for updates on your phone" --> WAIT FOR 20-30S,The update shows up! and enjoy it!
I MANAGED TO GET UPDATE BY USING THIS METHOD!!!
HAVE fune!
the update should go via zune. it should be official update。
If it works that's good news.. But is it that easy? I would thing that the update edits the registry...
If you update to 7008 the unlock still works that I know.. Are you sure that's not what happaned.. And you just got the Pre-NoDo update...?

the vision is 7390.after 7008,unlock,then prevent unlock, then connect to zune, if you can find update, then you success。many chinese succeed,the only problem is MS,it promise everyone can update,but only very few people receive the notice of update through zune。
March thanks for XDA-DEVELOPERS(xboxmod)!
But I am still waiting the Nodo Version in Hong Kong, if it is true, it is a great job for the user!!!
I am a user of HD2 with wp7 two days ago.but now I have to switch to Android again as the wp7 is not fully developed,I think.anyway...thanks for sharing the good news...謝謝!
It seems to work based on user replies. However, it requires HTC-ProvXml-Deploy to work. What about us non-htc users?
as it was already said, we need to know if it works on non HTC devices?
Can anyone post the xap here?
Registered and downloaded the xap. It's attached as a zip, just change the file extension from .zip to .xap.
Wondering if this will truly be our way to update to NoDo and still keep our devices unlocked...

The whole prevent-relock thing essentially does this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
On Samsung devices you can use the TouchXplorer Registry Editor to do this. Though it has limited access on Samsung devices. It will show an "Access Denied" when you open the DeviceReg registry-key. But it will still allow you to create new values there and overwrite the old values. So, open the DeviceReg-key and create the "portalUrlProd" and "PortalUrlInt" values as empty strings. That will prevent your Samsung from relocking. And as it seems, that tweak will even survive the NoDo-update.
is that only for htc device?

not there yet, it's upgrading at the moment (at the last and longest stage). I had mine unlocked via the MFG tool. I reset the two registry keys PortalUrlInt and PortalUrlProd back to the https links
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
(thanks to drkfngthdragnlrd)
and set the DeveloperUnlockState to 1. While still in the MFG tool I started the MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate tool.
It would not work initially. Closed the tool, started the new beta Zune software and it relocked the phone. Closed Zune, disconnected phone and went back into the MFG app and unlocked it. Connected phone to PC again, restarted the tool and it started the backup and installation process.
How to Un-Lock your Phone without Chevron 7
You can unlock the phone by using the MFG registry editor.
Open the MFG app and use the password to open it. If you don't know it's (appmfg#*#)
Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"
Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD
Hit Query. Output result should return a "0" or a random long number. If it does continue.
Set your input data box to "1" and hit SET. Output result should be 1
How To Keep Your Phone Unlocked
You can keep your phone unlocked and prevent Zune from re-locking it.
Open the MFG app and use the password to open it. If you don't know it's (appmfg#*#)
Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD
Hit Query. Output result should return data. If it does continue.
Keep your input data box empty and hit SET. Output result should be 0
Keep this screen open and continue to Part 2
does your registry editor still work on your lg optimus 7?

The first thing I did was to download and install the Windows Phone Developer Tools. Once downloaded I started it up and then just exited.
Then I went and changed these settings using the MFG app. Make sure they are typed in correctly!!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
PortalUrlProd = https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010
PortalUrlInt = https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010
I then tried to run the MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe but it gave me an error that it could not find UpdateWP.exe. I renamed the Setup-UpdateWP-x64.exe to UpdateWP.exe but got the same error.
So I just installed the new Test Zune and tried to look for an update there and it didn't find any so I quit Zune and tried to run MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe, this time it work but said my phone was lock so I loaded up MFG, changed the developerunlockstate back to 1, tried again and it work!!
I'm currently on step 7 of 9 in the last update on Zune ISV beta (7661)
EDIT: I haven't had to edit the settings to keep the phone from re-locking, you should only need to do that after you have Mango fully installed.
Make sure you have this set correctly!!!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
PortalUrlProd = https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010
PortalUrlInt = https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010

PortalUrlInt = https://developerservices.windowspho...on.svc/01/2010
Then run zune, run devupdater
it will close zune, then it will tell u blablabla its locked
NOT THIS ( "Checking if your phone is dev unlocked...
Failed. Please try the following
1) Connect the phone
2) Launch Zune software and wait for it to connect to the device
3) Close Zune software
4) Restart the tool. ") but the other info
Then u have to stay connected to pc, and with still running mfg ulockstate = 1 and run updater again, the rest of it is just next, next, next

I am running into an issue where I get an error when installing Setup-UpdateWP-x64, in that it says I need to install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1.
Is this a common occurence for others? It's a pretty big download and I am on crappy work network, so it will take some time. I can do a custom install though, and shave off unneeded components, so if someone could advise me on that it would be great!

This method supposedly shaves off the need for VS and all that garbage:

Otherwise, remember, this is for developers.. hence the fact it wants VS installed.

Install Homebrew Apps in Mango Beta & Resumible Apps

INSTALLING HOMEBREW APPS​
Ok, so I figured out how to get a homebrew app installed that has "INTEROPSERVICES".
NOTE: Most apps still don't load/work, but at least they can be installed. So, maybe someone can figure out what to do from here. In fact, the only app that works properly that I've tested is Navigator Select. Granted this app is probably signed with a cert or what ever because it's from an OEM.
Instructions;
1) Extract the XAP using 7Zip/WinRAR/etc.
2) Find WMAppManifest.xml & open it in an editor (Wordpad/Notepad/VS/Word/etc.).
3) Delete the line "<Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/>"
4) Save the file.
5) Compress all files from XAP into a ZIP
6) Rename ZIP to XAP
7) Install
RESUMIBLE APPS​
Also, I found this article.
In order to make an app resumible, we'll edit the same file as above, but this tome we're going to add "ActivationPolicy="Resume"" to the "<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="PivotPage.xaml" />" line so it looks like "<DefaultTask Name="_default" NavigationPage="PivotPage.xaml" ActivationPolicy="Resume"/>". Save file compress everything to ZIP & rename to XAP same as above. Now install apps using what ever side loader you like. I used "Tom XAP Installer".
NOTE: DON'T use the resumible hack on Navigator Select, at least on Mango. Otherwise it'll just show a black screen if you open it from the start menu/app list when you have a map open. You can still use task switcher to open it, but just not worth it. Than again this could be a Mango problem with the resume hack.
Anyone out there with a T-Mobile USA HD7 happen to have WPDM from Schaps installed & no Mango Beta? If so, can you see if you can copy out the TMOUS Cert that should be on your device. I'm on Mango, so cant. I want to try to sign a homebrew app with that cert & see if it'll work on Mango Beta.
I rolled back but have the HTC 7 Pro, so I can send you that cert, maybe you can edit it so it works with the HD7?
Glad to see you working on this btw .

Thank you, it shouldn't matter which HTC device it comes from. The main issue is I'm on T-Mobile so for my device has T-Mobile's OEM cert on it where your 7 Pro most likely doesn't. Probably has a Verizon OEM or for what ever OEM you're on. Your device might have an HTC Cert though. The main thing I'm looking for is a cert that's trusted & allowed INTEROPSERVICES access as OEM's/Manufacturers are the only ones allowed this atm. This is why Navigon Select works even though it has INTEROPSERVICES. I'm hoping I can use the SDKCert Signer tool & an OEM cert to sign the dll's/mui's in the XAP with.
I'm on an unbranded HTC 7 Pro. If you walk me through extracting whatever certs you can use I'm more than happy to do it.

Okay, you'll need WPDM. Install that to your pc/laptop. Once you run it the first time, it'll prompt to install TouchXperience. Open TouchXperience on your 7 Pro. Now WPDM will sync with it. Now open the file manager in WPDM on your PC. The certs should be in \windows or one of it's sub directories. I don't remember exactly where I saw them. Try to find one with HTC or Test in the file name. You can than copy if & paste it into windows explorer somewhere to zip it up & upload it here.
Unsigned app limit
Any idea which homebrew can get rid of the unsigned applications limit on Mango?
I am afraid of removing all my unsigned apps for nothing
Before following the OPs suggestions I was not able to deploy Navigon Select onto my device. After editing WMAppManifest.xml I was finally able to deploy it again. Sadly it won't work. After startup it tells me that it can't complete the registry process due to not being able to connect to the network. Pitty.

Advanced Config has that feature. Not sure what else does. There's a couple apps that do it.

Tried it with 3.0 and 1.4. Both patched. I wasn't able to deploy either one of them.

In order to deploy you have to edit that file I listed in the OP. I've got v1.3 installed as US maps only works with v1.3 & is what the map loader software came with.
EDIT: Whoops, v1.4 is what i have installed on Mango.

Yeah, I followed your advice and was able to deploy it successfully. But I just can't use it anymore since it won't registert. It keeps telling me to turn airplone mode off (which isn't on anyway).

Hum, no clue, I used Map Loader to add my maps. It turns my pc into the server. Have you checked you internet to make sure you have a good connection by loading any website in IE. Also, try WiFi. My only guess could be a data connection problem.

That sux, the server must not recognize a Mango device or something. My only suggestion is if you have iPhone Maps for Navigon Select, use Map Loader found here on XDA to load those maps.

Ok thanks a lot, I'm going to try your trick then! Hope this homebrew will launch on Mango...

k, I'll try. Gotta read the whole thread first, since it seems rather complicated to set up. Thanks for your help.
dkp are you dev unlocked?
WPDM is broken, it doesn't work with the new beta tools. I uninstalled them and reinstalled WPDM but it crashes on load. Unfortunately I don't have the time to mess with this now so if anyone else can provide the certs that'd be great.
Running touchxperience on my phone I can't find an HTC or Test folder in \windows.

No problem, I have the same problem with WPDM & the beta tools. I may just have to go back to NoDo to get them myself. At least now someone made a BAT files to update so hopefully I won't have to reset my HD7 to get back into Mango again.

What message appears when you open Touch Explorer ? Because if about the application uninstalled so as to re-locked device.
Nothing appears.. The opening animation begins and suddenly stops. Just that..
Ok I remember Mango does not allow to use Interop Services ordinary developers and revealed that it was a mistake but I don't know where I read this news Sr

Yeah, Budniu is right, it is indeed the problem with the interop service.
Don't understand why MS have done that.
