Need help with Chevron ASAP - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

My WP7 (Samsung Focus) Has been dev unlocked before, I am doing the SAME exact thing except it just decides its going to give me the error that its not plugged in or its zune is not opened which both are done.... I have no clue what is wrong I have tried everything but nothing is working.
Things I have tried include making my host files not read only, Reseting phone, Restarting computer, Restarting phone... I have been trying for about a week now and I decided to bite the bullet and ask for help

Welcome on the forum...
i suggest you use a function called: Search.
And browse the stickies.
Remember: you are not the first with a problem, or at least not the only one.
Asking for help is easy, using the search function does not irritate ppl.
Thanks.

Have you made sure that the lockscreen isn't showing? I'm pretty sure your phone has to be on the home screen.

lost active sync

i am sorry if this has been asked before.
i have watching you guys on here for a while now.long story short, i got shafted on ebay. i bought a herm100, fantastic, then it got barred via imei.
i have tried everything but was scared to ask on here because, every time i see that someone does ask 4 help with this sort of thing he gets shot down by one of the senior members as a noob, or worse a thief.
anyway i have now managed to really screw my new toy up by editing something or other( cant remember what). and now i have no active sync.
i have tried to hard\soft reset but stop Nada.
please can somebody help this noob at least get it to work as a pda again,i don't care about using as a phone as i still have my spv c550.
again if this has already been asked i apologize to all those senior members who get upset about that sort of thing. but it is not that easy to find what u are looking for, when u don't know what to look for, among the 1000's of threads on here.
The easiest way to make it works as a PDA after you chaning something is HARD RESET.

May be stating the obvious, but did you follow these instructions for a 'hard reset'? It's different than a soft-reset...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Resets
This reverts your device to it's original factory settings (unless of course you've flashed an updated or cooked ROM). To learn how to do that, go to the link above, then to the Hemes WIKI:

Scroll down and look through the sections "Hacks & Tweaks", "Upgrading and Cooking", and "Upgrading Problems:".
Good Luck

ty for your reply i have found the fault now it wasnt my pda it was my usb hub that has gone down. only noticed when i tried to make a call on voip and had no mike.
like i said on my original thread i have been watching this site for a couple of months now after paying htc 20gbp to unlock my c500.
i have managed to unlock all my phones myself since then with what i have found on here. and this has been my first post.
bty i have already upgraded my rom to pro black 3.0 radio1.41.
once again ty very much.
now i will wait and keep serching 4 a way to reset my imei
don't think you can reset yr imei as it is the manufacturer's way to identify your machine during assembling.
my advice, sell it off, to another country and get a new one.
chances are yr imei is only blocked with operators in your country.
cheers, Leo
i will find out next month going to thailand for holiday i will see then
in the mean time i am looking for a new mainboard. cause that will fix it 4 sure

HELP! Can't sync with Vista anymore.

I recently installed a different ROM onto my device, and now when it syncs with my PC to install the device driver, it installs "Micro$oft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #3." What the hell is this? Removing it from the Device Manager only reinstalls the same one and I can't sync with WMDC. How do I get Vista to install the correct driver, and why did it never have a problem before?
This happened to me as well after I installed Schap's 3.54c ROM would like to know if there is a fix.
Oh come on, guys. I really wish just once someone would successfully answer one of my questions. This is kind of a big deal here. I can't flash another ROM if I can't sync, and I'm a little skeptical that NO ONE HERE has ever encountered a solution for this. Help me out!
You've been very lucky my friend.

You’re damn lucky no one has flamed you for all of your noob posts. You need to post less and search and read more.
However, because I'm somewhat of "noob" as it relates to posting but, I'm a bit of veteran when it comes to flashing, etc. I’ll bail you out on this one.
1) First, in order to flash from Vista you should visit the Incredible MrVanx’s site. That should allow you to flash from Vista (I haven’t tried it as I have an XP machine right behind me from which to upgrade my 8525 without the risk of heartburn).
2) If it’s syncing you want then you may need to disregard the above and follow the advice posted here.
And, as advice I gave to another smarta** poster (free advice being worth exactly what you paid for it). Drop the attitude and improve your searching/reading skills. If you don’t want to do that, then stop f’ing around with ROM upgrades.

Meanwhile, you need to post less and learn to read more carefully to the posts of those you're responding to. I have flashed ROMs a number of times. Where did I say that I did not know how to flash a ROM? I said that I can't now because since my last flash Vista will not recognize my PPC. It installs the wrong driver and I cannot figure out how to change that. The only thread I found that seemed to answer this question (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303634) did so in italian.
I also found another thread dealing with this same problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301876&page=3) but aside from re-installing Vista which I am loath to do, none of those solutions worked either.
And as for your second thread you directed me to, I'd already read that and tried downgrading WMDC before. I suppose I should have clarified myself by saying that it's not simply that I can't sync, I cannot connect my PPC to my computer through WMDC at all. I should have been more specific, but I figured since I mentioned that it kept installing the wrong driver, you would have been able to figure that out on your own.
And let me get this straight, you call yourself a veteran flasher, but don't even HAVE the computer operating system I'm having trouble with? Perhaps we both have things to improve about our postings, Timmy.
As for all my "noob" posts, I searched all of them before posting. Not to mention I've only had to post three previous questions which I could not find an answer to on here or elsewhere, those being
A) Is it possible to copy the gwes.exe.0409.mui without having to do a ROM dump? (Never got resolved, though Sleuth at least tried the basics).
B) Is there anyway to redate SMS's since Jeyo screwed them all up when using the program to back them up. (Never got resolved).
C) Can anyone help with the device lock asking for a password I never set up? (Yep, never got resolved).
If you would like to direct me to RELEVANT threads that answer these questions, I'll be more than happy to thank you for it, but until then at least you did get one thing right about your post, that being what it was worth.
Don't know if you've tried this, but.
I had the same issue. After installing one of JJ's ROMs, I couldn't get WMDC to recognize the new build. Broke all partnerships, nothing helped.
I then completely uninstalled WMDC and rebooted. I then went back to MS and grabbed WMDC again. It installed, I plugged in the TyTN and crossed my fingers.
The drivers re-installed and everything is good in the world now.
Also, Mr. Vanx's guide for downgrading drivers is not necessary for the HTC official or at least the last three builds of Black. I can't speak for any other RUU's, but the latest completely work with Vista (Ultimate & Enterprise, at least).
Hope this helps you out.
Thanks for the effort, silverfox, and the tone. Unfortunately I've tried that a couple of times, and it still goes along merrily installing the wrong driver. Does anyone how I could manually select the "HTC USB SYNC" driver? Not even sure where it's located. Checked under system32/drivers but it's not in there.
Nevermind...

You are quite right, I should have been able to read you mind. My bad.

Wrong again blowhard, read the post again, especially the part about where I say I have "...an XP machine right behind me..., I'm posting from a Vista machine.

Really? Someone else might help you but, you are apparently so smart, I doubt it. Good luck Richard-head.
This worked for me

Uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality"

I am new to upgrading a Smartphone and need help

I am not sure if this is the correct place for this thread, and it is my first post so please be gentle if this is the wrong place. Sorry to the Mods in advance.
I purchased an at&t Tilt when it launched and have loved the phone since I got it. A customer came into my store the other day with the Touch Flo Cube(I believe that was the correct name for it)setup running on his. He showed me how it worked, and I fell in love with the user interface on the spot. His Tilt also played streaming videos from Youtube and other websites and said there was a software update for that too. I have been online for the last few days researching software updates for it and have had not problem finding any. The problem is that everywhere I go there is a GIANT warning saying that if you install this stuff without knowing what you are doing it will ruin your phone. Well, as stated I am a Noob to all of this. I have no idea how to do any of the stuff and have not been able to find New User Friendly instructions. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with updating my Tilt to run the interface that I mentioned, and or if someone could point me in the right direction to find instructions on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
im having the exact same problem ... i read oen that said to run it on ur computer then sink it with your phone and then i read one that said sink your phone then run it on ur phone .... but which is the right way?
im having the exact same problem ... i read one post that said to run it on ur computer then sink it with your phone and then i read another post that said sink your phone then run it on ur phone .... but which is the right way?
ok, the best place to post this is in the kaiser upgrading forum. dont be scared, we were all noobs once. If you read the instructions properly, and follow them properly, you will be very very very unlucky if you damage your device. The roms and unlockers only have those warnings because they arent responsible if you break your device, and though its obvious, they still have to say it.
kaiser upgrading and unlocking : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
So dont be scared, but be cautious, and take your time, rad it all, and take heed of the warnings, but dont let them put you off...

Sorry, another dumb question. I have found a person on htcwiki.com that says all I need to do is to install the Cube programing to my Tilt, then when I open the folder, it will auto install the files to the correct places on my Tilt enabling the Cube to work. Does this seem correct?
The cube updating changes the browser to mirror the i-phone correct? Where I can simply run my finger across a web page to scroll from left to right and side to side?
Where would I find an application that would allow me to view Youtube videos?

Problems after installing Kavanna

I'm really new to this whole thing of flashings ROM's but my friend said that it is the way to go. I just did my first one, which was the Kavanna 6.1. Now my computer won't recognize the phone, the keyboard is all messed up, I can't use the internet on my phone, and I would like to have the my faves thing back on the home screen. Is there anyone that can give me some assistance on these issues? I would really appreciate it!
First, you need to delete the sync relationship from your PC, as you effectively have a new phone and you don't want any conflicts.
Second, you need to make sure you uncheck one of the USB settings. I don't recall which one, but do a search, the question's been asked numerous times before.
Third, now that you have your phone recognized by the PC, you can install the Tegic keyboard mapping cab. This fixes the keyboard issue. It's a sticky in this forum.
Finally, check out the Wiki for the Tzones settings so you can get back on the internet. This is also a sticky in this forum.
As for My Faves, it's no longer on the phone. You can change your My Faves settings online though.
Next time do a search... every one of your questions has been asked and answered before.
True but...
True these problems have been asked before but when I plug my phone in after doing what you had stated it says that windows has found driver software for my device but encountered an error while attempting to install it and that the requested device registry key does not exsist. I have found the stuff for the keyboard except I can't get my phone plugged in. Any suggestions?
no, really...ALL of this has been covered

Please help please

Hi
Have got a serious problem. In a nutshell I decided to upgrade my ROM using the Samsung website. Ran the updater - after getting to the stage ‘downloading file 2’ it asked me to manually soft reset the phone. So I did and nothing. By now it had reached the ‘downloading file 3’ stage however the updater then froze too. I looked at my phone and all that appeared is a black screen with picture of white phone in the middle and an overlapping solid yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside.
The phone now does not shut off/soft rest or anything. I even took battery out for five minutes but still same screen. The next problem is that I tried to run the updater again however it requires active sync and as the phone does not turn on it will not sync up.
Please can someone help with this? I am noob so please don’t suggest any soldering or hacking type methods but I can work my way round a set of clear instructions using basic software. I have spoke to Samsung who have suggested sending it to their engineer but will take two weeks just to give me a reply as to what’s wrong with it! Further if not covered I am screwed for repair costs and if covered it’s going to take ages and I need my phone back asap. As I used the Samsung website software there must be a way to solve this.
Please can all knowledgeable forum users reply as I have previously relied upon and used advice from this forum with much success. I would really appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance.
Sorry Samsung Omnia by the way
Welcome to forums
As this is an HTC devices forum only you won´t get too much atention, however in off topic there is a thread regarding samsung, perhaps there you can get more help.
Good luck,
Hi,
I suggest to ask on www.modaco.com forum, there many people have developed omina roms, so, for sure they know much more about this PDA.
Usually you should be able to enter in bootloader mode and flash a new rom but I don't know omnia. So, ask there and you'll find some answer.
