I'm planning to buy a dell venue pro. But i have 2 questions.
1e question
Can i jailbreak it using cheveron
2e
Can i use pin code after unlocking
Many thanks
Yes you can chevron unlock it but it will lock back up since all the tools that makes it permanently locked are only and have only been written for HTC and samsung devices so far. Your apps that are from the Marketplace will eventually be revoked when thephon locks back up.
thx mate i have to wait

it hasnt locked up for me since december
just put your phone in airplane mode for the first minute or two of syncing. No relocks
Just an FYI, the LG voice to text app is working great on the venue pro.

Virgin LG phone with NoDo can be developer unlocked with airwa1kin7's procedure.
Note that I have not touched my phone with any hacks before the NoDo update. I applied airwa1kin7's procedure after NoDo and was able to developer unlock it.
Registry settings stick after syncing and all apps and side loading work. I have not touched Chevron or any other hacking before the NoDo. This is at least a solution for LG phones.
thanks to airwa1kin7s !
I haven't had any luck with the registry hacks unlocking my refurbed att Quantum, or don't think Ive unlocked it. Application deployment does tell me my app limit has been reached, even though i dont have any developer apps installed and i HAVE changed the app limit with MFG also. any ideas? I also never tried anything until post NoDo and once i found out my hacks didn't work, I also tried Chevron but it along with the i believe tom's xap installer tell me my phone isnt connected. The phone is seen in Zune though...
Hello,
a friend has a dev account and therefor he can unlock several wp7 phones when using his live id and adding my phone to dev phones. NoDo works too of course.
My thoughts are: if i update my phone he could add it as dev phone and the DeveloperUnlocked key would change from 0 (after NoDo update) to 1.
Next step would be that I change the reg keys (because of dev status i could use the reg editor) that have been the cause my HTC Mozart 7 got relocked when i connected to zune:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
And now i would change back to my live id and he would remove my phone from his dev phone list - would the DeveloperUnlocked key change to 0 again or won't it be possible because of the DeviceReg "hack" above?
I don't know what is causing the change from 1 to 0, is it just zune connect or does this change apply via Wifi/3G also? Are the two keys above still actual for NoDo?
It would help everyone who knows a person with dev account to get the NoDo unlocked
Right the person that i searching for.
How does the unlock of a second or third device work? Can the person with the other device we wont to unlock use my Live-ID without the use of my Id on his phone? I found nothing about this in the App-Hup.
not possible.
only the FIRST live ID can unlock a phone and you will be stuck with that account.
that mean that you can't use your own email account for online services and your friends email account is always in your phone.
to change that you would need to hardreset the phone and then the unlock is gone to.
Thanks for that information.
Ah right, i forgot that that the change of the FIRST live id needs a hardreset. Thanks for pointing that out.
I wondered WHY you have to hardreset your phone to change the main live id. Now i know why =)
To sum it up: dev account needs to put the matching live id as the FIRST on the phone, so you would need a hardreset to do that. And another hardreset to get back to "your" live id - resetting the dev unlock status.
Ok let's wait for some success here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078007 - cross your thumbs
Well the way it works is simple...
say i have a dev account, and have 2 devices left I can unlock.
You just give me your device, I connect it trough USB (it does not matter if your live ID is the only live ID on the device!)
with your email, live-ID, contacts and everything.
Once I connect it to the pc, I run the tool and type in MY live ID, now I click unlock and your phone is unlocked trough my live ID.
Now you can run the tools to edit the registry, than connect the device and relock. Edit the registry again (the registry editor should probably be running, otherwise you will get an error message). And your device is unlocked, with your live ID and everything.
my registered devices
The following devices have been registered and may be used to test your unpublished Windows Phone 7 applications. Adding additional devices must be accomplished through Visual Studio, but you may only add the maximum number allowable by your account. You may remove devices from this list at any time by selecting the remove option below.

Thx Marvin_S for your reply. So you say i don't need to change the live id to unlock the device?
And what about that registry thing, the registry editor should be running and then i can set the dev unlock key to 1 and it WILL STAY instead of relocking? Because i think that you need to leave the device as unlocked in your app hub as you show us on your quote. If you hit "remove" then the phone will be locked the next time you connect it to zune.
Maybe you can give us more details on this. Thanks.

Yes legally yes, however here comes your regedit into play.
The steps to unlock your device are easy:
- Set up your device with your own live ID (I assume you have this already, this does NOT have to be the same live ID as the devs live ID!)
- Connect your device with your Live ID to your friends computer. Follow the steps then run the Developer Registration Tool from Microsoft, fill in the live ID of your FRIEND who is DEVELOPER registered on his live ID.
- Your device is unlocked... to keep it unlocked run Samsung-Tools or a similar xap on your device which will do those regedits you have quoted above. If you have done these edits your friend can safely remove your device from his developers panel.
Done deal enjoy
Is it realy that easy to unlock any device?
That means someone with a WP7 and his own Live-ID wants to unlock it with my Dev-Account and my Live-ID, we connect it through usb, start developer registration tool and his phone is unlocked...
Edit! You have answered my question before i could ask.
Thank you.

This is not true
It does not matter which ID unlocks the phone, it does NOT have to be the same.
Is there any Devloper In Mumbai India with the dev Account i have Dell Venue Pro Nodo Locked i want to unlock it
Thanks
wow that could open a whole market for 3rd party unlocks
like:
registered developer: provide a service to unlock wp7 device for 24h
customer: needs teamviewer or some remote desktop and knowlege about "how to prevent the relock" in most cases advanced config can fix it...
customer provide login information for his remote desktop
connect his wp7 device
developer unlocks the phone with his id and removes it after 24 from the list.
rest you can imagen...
soo.. who want a dev unlock for $10 paypal?
who is the dev to become rich with unlocks?

Yeah but what if someone runs a keystroke logger... this will open up the dev's email and password to the customer. Its a form of trust both the dev and the customer will need to have.
I will do it in person, no problem, but you are right it is possible to unlock infinite devices this way. And most of the people who unlock will run these regedits anyway (unlimted sideloaded xaps + prevent relocking)
well yea the plan is not perfect
i dont know enough about remote desktop to tell you if there is any way to encrypt the data.. maybe simple copy paste would be enough, but yeah, your login details would be at high risk, still its simple to change passwords..
microsoft wants $99 and all of your personal data
in some countrys you have hell of paper work and waiting times around 6month
even $50 for a quick paypal unlock is still a good deal for some..
microsoft has to come after (or with mango) with some homebrew unlock thing or people will come up with these kinda services...
heh hell or post a $5 fiverr.com add
hey i want to spend some $$ to unlock my Dell venue pro is there any body can help me i m in India Mumbai Pm me .
Yep i got a pretty ugly vision how this could work out in the end!
1 MS will revoke a “few” developers status whom enjoy WP7 dev. “sanctuary”, even if they weren't unlocking.
2 We never ever going to see through a MS unlocked update for public use, forever we going to stick with market app....
Its a bit boxed up future. don't you think?
I also would like to have full access to my HTC 7 Pro T7576 it came with NoDo oobe.Zune not even find update yet.
seems soon be unlocking problem solved

right on time
but a small fee? that stinks, lets see how this works out...
wow thats good news
ok yesterday i called t-mo and ask for the carrier unlock code and to my surprise it arrive over email in less than 24 hr, i have a hd7 mango chevron unlocked
and if i insert another sim that besides my t-mo and put my t-mo back it keeps rebooting after 1 minute, i have to factory reset for it to work but then it would relock of course, i did restore from mango backup but it takes soooo long to do so and i need to switch from sim cards for personal reasons, is this a registries problem, can anyone elaborate on problem
thanks
Hello,
I bought a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (Rogers), and it was locked. In my country, I went to a local phone shop and they unlocked the phone. But after 1 month of normal using, the phone was locked again. So I went again and unlock the phone for the second time. Unfortunatly, after 1 month of using, the phone was locked again. Why? I don't know.
It was after I was restarting the phone. The phone asked me to enter the PIN code as usual. I entered the PIN code that I usually enter which is 0000. The phone writes "code accepted" then after 1 second the phone shows a black screen in which I read that the PIN code is incorrect and I have to contact the provider. I can use the phone applications, but I can't call or send a text message. I always receive "Not registered on the network". When I write *#746562#, the phone give me a list of information in which I read "Network Lock [ON]".
How to unlock my phone Again? Where I have to get the unlocking code? Is it free? is it for 1 month or for ever? What is the problem in my phone? Is there a trusted website where I can buy the unlocking code forever?
I unlocked an SGH-I927R in a way that's kept the IMEI intact and that's not out of reach for anyone with a bit of technical ability. It does require ADB, a hex editor and either root or CWM.

This came way too late ... I used Fast-GSM ... it takes longer than usual, I don't get an actual unlock code but did it with my ACE as well.
Its a bit more expensive, but hook his app up via USB w/ debugging, run the unlock tool whamo. Unlimited ROM installed, rebooting etc. Cyangenmod and it stayed unlocked.
Now, also on my i927r (Rogers) same deal stays unlocked.
I do wish I had seen this thread earlier, great that there's free ways to unlock it and pull out the code. Big thanks for doing that write up!

Hi,
I just purchased a used T-Mobile G3 that I will be using on AT&T. Does anyone have any pointers on how to SIM unlock it? Is there a preferred method, or preferred supplied on eBay for unlock codes?
Thanks,
Toby.

OK, so I bought a code there, and 5 hours later is still hasn't arrived. So I bought a code from these guys: http://www.imei-unlocker.com/ which did come through. However, there are no instructions, so I found some on YouTube for the G3, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TFWgPX5Al8
The trouble is, when I put in my AT&T SIM card into this T-Mobile phone and start it up, I am not prompted to unlock the phone at all. It starts right into Android and behaves like an unlocked phone except it says the network is locked when I try to make a call. That's it. No indication anywhere of how to access the unlocking mode. I'm stuck.
Edit: I found these instructions on T-Mobile's website, which confirm the method in the video:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11974
Edit #2: about half hour after I wrote this the unlock code came through from the first site. I still no idea how to get past not being prompted to unlock, though.
Thanks,
Toby.
OK, resolved, if it helps anyone.
I managed to find an alternative method somewhere else that doesn't rely on an alien SIM card prompting an unlock code.
So the code from unlockcode247.com did eventually arrive, but without any instructions. A couple of hours after ordering it I gave up and bought a code from somewhere else. The email with that code took about 20 hours (!) to arrive, despite their page saying it would take a maximum of 2 hours. Bah! At least it contained a range of instructions on different methods to unlock in addition to the basic one of putting in an alien SIM. Someone might find these useful:
Method #1 Go to the dial screen and press “2945#*model number#”
for example if its a p999 you enter “2945#*999#” or if its a p990 you enter “2945#*990#” etc…
[so that's 851 for my T-Mobile phone.]
Method #2 to the dial screen and press 2945#*71001# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
Method #3 Go to the dial screen and press *#865625# as if making a call, enter code when prompted

I do find it strange that the phone didn't react to an alien SIM, but oh well, it's great that there's another way around it. All unlocked fine now.
do not use imei-unlocker
I ordered 2 days ago from imei-unlocker but no response, i have sent them various emails but no response.
On the website It says delay for lg services. Maybe thats why?

Since this was a used phone it is possible that someone tried and failed unlocking it more than the maximum allowed tries.
I know whenever I have unlocked a phone, the prompt to unlock warns that you have x number of tries (I do not remember that number).
Also, I do not know if there is a way around it.

As long as you don't have any debt to T-Mobile don't they need to have a free solution to unlock your phone? For example if I called them right now they would unlock me for free even though I still have debt because I have had the phone for 6+ months. People got it unlocked through T-Mobile days after buying the phone by just saying they were going abroad.

I believe he has his unlock code. The problem is that when he boots up the phone with a different carrier's sim in it, it is not prompting him to enter an unlock code as it should.
Looking at my unlock instructions, I proposed the posibbility that someone tried and failed 10 times or more. Just guessing:
Read This First
* DO NOT use all attempts to enter the unlock code otherwise your phone will be hardlocked (all phones have at least 10 attempts)
* Make sure "Airplane Mode" and "Wi-Fi" is turned off under wireless connections if your LG is an Android device.
It also has other methods for trying. Perhaps another method will work:
Method #1 Insert a non accepted simcard, and enter code when prompted for a code
OR
Method #2 Go to the dial screen and press “2945#*model number#”
for example if its a p999 you enter “2945#*999#” or if its a p990 you enter “2945#*990#” etc…
OR
Method #3 to the dial screen and press 2945#*71001# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
OR
Method #4 Go to the dial screen and press *#865625# as if making a call, enter code when prompted
Quick question.... I just got my unlock code from Tmo. I was wondering if the unlock is retained no matter how much somebody may root/unroot/change ROMs/etc. Is it a "forever" thing? Or just for the current setup? Oh and do I unlock with Tmo SIM in or with the ATT one?
*Edit* oops replied to the op, disregard this post.
