Hi all,
I have a solution for make a chevron functionaly again.
For all, who was a last WP7 update from Microsoft (ZUNE).
Step 1) Restore a phone WP7 OS build. Synchronize phone with Zune - check for updates - than hit the restore button. I have a last update (OS build 7.0.7008 - after restore have OS build 7.0.7004)
Step 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127&page=86
Step 3) Aplly chevron http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106
Worked perfectly for me on my HTC 7 Trophy.
How do we make chevron functionally again without restoring?
And you said after the restore you had version 7004. But with 7004 you can't install the NoDo update.
I think we should wait for WPDM, it is still in private beta. WPDM is able to unlock the phone without the need of Chevron.
What is wrong with the Chevron tool?
By last update do you mean the pre-Nodo update?
I hard reset my focus then flashed the update through Zune, and used the Chevron tool to unlock again without any issues, side loaded the apps I had prior the update. Is the issue people experiencing only prevalent with HTC phones?
after nodo chevron doesn't work

That is the problem, you can only use Chevron again after a hard reset. I don't want to reset my phone after every small update.
you shouldnt have to.... mine is updated and still unlocked...
all i did was go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc select hosts and deleted the developerservices.windows.com and chevron was back and running...

Not true. I only reset because I was having issues with Zune and the Zune driver loading on my PC. I was also testing to see if the cert. installed when unlocking was in conflict with the Zune cert. Till this day I cannot get zune running on my desktop but it works absolutely fine on my laptop.

This ^^
Here also got an issue,
After hard reset on second updated on my htc mozart, chevron still works but can only install 7 apps from deployer, after that always appear an error, i did 2 reset came out with the same result
Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using Board Express
I'm having issues as well.
I've installed the cert and deleted developerservices.windows.com a few times now, but when I run Chevron, it keeps on poppingup the error msg of having trouble communicating with the phone.
I don't want to go through another hard reset. That's way too many just to get this phone running.
My original problem was that I couldn't deploy apps anymore, giving me the error that it could not communicate with my phone due to it being locked or zune has not been connected.
Help!!
@alphamale156 did you lock ur phone again after prevent to lock it again with the registry hack? If so no chance u can unlock it again, u must do the harf reset, thats what i did.
Because chevron works fine on hard reset wp last update but got an issue after the chevron works which is on the unlocked phone with the latest update
Any suggestion?

no need to hard reset after the update
just reinstall the certificat
open chevron and unlock
go to application deployment
and install your xap

chevron find my phone still unlocked, but i couldnt install any sideloaded apps anymore.. should i install certificate once again?

just uninstall 1 apps, and i can install 2 apps, and now connection error appears....

OMG! i forgot to included this
>>>>> -Allow max number of unsignd apps <<<<<<<
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
"MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff
on the registry tweaks, and now everything works fine.
sorry i was confusing you all guys.
I am in USA and have the DVP running 7355. At this time there is no way to get Chevron7 running.
In fact on 7355, I am very limited. No Chevron7 and EM is missing many of the menu item found in earlier versions.

no problemo
I think the problem most of us are having right now is Chevron no longer sees the device. After zune loads I try to launch chevron and it can't even find my phone. As a result my device is now locked and my side loaded apps are deleted as I try to launch them.
Everything worked great up until this weekend. 5 weeks trouble free, now this.
I've reinstalled the cert, I've even redone everything on a clean win 7 machine. No good. I'm convinced that since the zune update something in the phone will not cooperate for chevron or zune stops traffic. Seems like the consensus is to reset the phone and reinstall zune with network cable unplugged.
UPDATE:
I figured I would clear up somethings from my post last night. Originally I had rolled all the way back to pre-nodo to unlock and was really over doing everything.
After unlocking mango on my phone that way I decided to try my girls hd7 by just adding custclear.provxml to the windows directory on nodo while unlocked.
So here the updated step by step. So far its only working on HTC devices.
1. Make sure that you have nodo unlocked and download the latest HTC Connection setup from the MARKETPLACE.
2. Place the CustClear.provxml from this post in the windows directory on the phone. There is a number of ways to do this. I used Windows Phone Device Manager but you could also use the Chevron Ringtone App to get it to the phone and TouchXplorer to move to the windows directory. Or Remote Suite, etc. Included in the provxml is developer unlock, max apps, and prevent relock.
3. Update to mango.
4. As soon as mango starts run HTC Connection setup. And your unlocked.
Ive had mine unlocked since last night and hasnt relocked itself. Ive synced with zune several times, Sideloaded over 10 xaps and everything is going great.
So thats the short version of it. Had a good feeling it would work without going all the way back to pre-nodo. So if youve already upgraded to mango you can just restore your unlocked nodo and restart.
Im glad I got to help out the community. Im in no way a genius when it comes to this stuff though I wouldnt say Im in the dark. Just put the old regedit trick to work.
If I helped you please hit the Thanks button.

Currently sideloading them right now. All work so far except advanced config. But that has to do with mango itself.
Ive connected to zune multiple times to sync music...Only thing Im doing a little different is instead of zune I use wpconnect to sideload app.. its just quicker.
Still unlocked... Im over 10 xaps already so Im pretty sure the limit also stuck.
Other than known problems with any app that accesses parts of the file system on mango...I dont remember the specifics but touchxplorer probably wont work either though I havent sideloaded that one yet to confirm.
So far its holding.
EDIT: TouchXplorer does work. But TouchXperience does not. So no WPDM.

Actually yah. Didnt even think about that since I always just uninstall that after I use it. Uninstalled it on pre-nodo if it matters.
Only thing I had on the phone when I upgraded to mango was all the basic stuff that comes with the phone originally and HTC connection setup downloaded from the market while on nodo..thats it.
Alright, im gonna give it a try and see if works
Now i gotta wait 2 hours again for the update

I did it a total of 3 times. Second time like an idiot I forgot to apply the prevent relock after I installed it.
Probably dont have to go all the way back to pre-nodo if you havent installed mango yet and have it unlocked already or if you wanna just do a restore through zune. Pretty sure youd just have to make sure the the custclear.provxml is in the windows folder before you update to mango. Im gonna give this a shot with my girls phone when I get some more time..
So far no problems at all. Only app I installed that didnt work was advanced config and TouchXperience.
Now I try, do not know can not succeed
Thanks I Unlocked my HD7

Awesome was waiting for a confirmation. Did you have to go all the way back to pre-nodo or did you try with nodo unlocked?
Most of what I did probably was unnecessary but I wanted to be thorough so I didnt have to do it again. Most likely can have sideloaded apps on the phone when updated to mango just wont run until you run HTC connection setup with that custclear.provxml
reeg420 said:
I just tested this on my hd7 and worked flawlessly.
I did the normal pre-nodo chevron unlock.
Install the prevent relock xap. After running uninstall it.
Updated to nodo via zune.
Then I installed HTC Connection Setup from the marketplace..(dont sideload it).
Ran it once.
Then I made a custclear.provxml with developer unlock, max unsigned app, and prevent relock. I set the attributes to read only on my PC. Then copied that to the windows folder via Windows Phone Device Manager.
Then I uninstalled TouchExplorer from the phone. Just to make sure there wasnt any sideloaded apps on there before I updated to mango.
Updated to mango by the bat files from windowsphonehacker blog.
Then I ran connection setup and voila unlocked.
I attached the file I made to help people out.
Im gonna redo this post just wanted to get it out there.

Discussion of "WARES" is NOT allowed on XDA. This means any app/game/etc that costs money to buy, but some have figured out how to get for free. You risk the ban hammer by talking about wares.

Yup im assuming as long as the custclear.provxml file is in the windows directory while on nodo.. And HTC connection setup has been downloaded from the market also on nodo then after you upgrade to mango that file will be right where HTC connection setup will read it.
Im testing this way right now on my girls hd7. I'll report back.

Hi,
is there any solution like this for my Samsung Omnia 7?
Sounds good so far
I use the backup to back my locked Mango to NoDo.and then,acrroding your method ,i have also unlocked my Htc Mozart from NoDo to Mango.
Thanks.
Can confirm that you can just put the provxml file in the windows folder on an unlocked nodo with sideloaded apps etc... Make sure connection setup is downloaded from the market and upgrade to mango. Then run connection setup first. Then all the sideloaded apps work fine. Didnt uninstall anything.
Vanilla Take-Off -> NoDo 7392 Unlocked -> MangoB2 7712 -> Awaiting Mango Final!
Hello XDA!
I am a new owner of a HD7 now. It's a T9292 Model. And here is the details sheet:
OS: v7.0.7392.0
FW: v2250.21.30102.707 (Was: v2250.09.16901.707)
Hardware Rev: 0002
Radio (Software): 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U (Was: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U)
Radio (Hardware): A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 3.1.2250.0 (119314) (Was: 1.69.2250.0(117833))
Chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
It's original and allows SIMs from Pakistan to work. Got it from a HTC store here. I have been struggling with the stickies for WP7 but it's NOT like what it was for HTC Kaiser and HTC TyTN II in the glory days.
I'm not really interested in new custom ROMs. I develop on .NET and that's why I got this mobile. Things is, I'll be trying to publish my apps through YallaApps.com as Pakistan is not supported over at AppHub. I need to update to the latest Mango and start developing until there is hope for us devs here.
Point me to where I should start and I'll proceed from there OK. Provided, if there is such a solution for my HD7.
I'm interested in upgrading to the latest Mango and be able to develop with Visual Studio and deploy on device to test.
Regards
Take a look at Updating to Mango threads, there is also hacked file that enables updating to mango on phones that have no Chevron unlock.
Your OS version is 7.0.7392 [nodo] so if u don't have dev unlock.
U must go back to older version by flashing rom.here
And get to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344 and pass all how to.
if u do all that u will done unlock,pervent relock,update to nodo,prepare to update mango,update mango and get unlock back.
a goal of all step is getting unlock without dev unlock in mango.
And u will can deploy ur app.
Ouch!
I was afraid of that...
So lets see...
Firmware dictates that I need to download ROM CV #707. I have chosen this: BR: RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.57.707.02_Radio_5.52.0 9.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar
Now, that's a branded ROM so I just need to run it. Right? Also, is it "old" enough for me to proceed?
After that, I believe I'm to follow this step:
NoDo Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7004 to OS February 2011 update and 7392 NoDo
which is very well written and explained.
And lastly, I shall proceed to MangoB2 Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7392 [NoDo] to OS 7403 and 7712
Right! I have downloaded all the packages and printed the threads.
I need to know if these point make any issue:
I already have a fully updated Zune installed
I downloaded Windows Phone Backup v1.6
Another question: There is only one PKS file available here. I'm using that. Also, where are the backups saved? I need to redundant them to a network share just in case for a rainy day.
Hmmm. BR: RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.57.707.02_Radio_5.52.0 9.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar is not working for me. It always ends at "ERROR 260 CONNECTION"
Backup Saved in
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update
Thanks a million buddy. I was wandering around that folder but you nailed it for me.
Oh boy... I think I'm getting the error because my HD7 is not really Branded by anyone. It's just HTC HD7... no T-Mobile etc. I was trying the wrong ROM. Now I needed unbranded and that thread is under maintenance by Ansar. I wonder which ROM i should download from there? ... Progress Halted for now
Umm.
I think ur hd7 is branded by HTC Asia like me.
If u flash wrong brand rom. It will tell u on phone.
ERROR 260 CONNECTION not look like be rom problem.
Make sure u boot in to 3 color mode and ur computer install driver for that mode correctly before start flashing.
Unbranded rom is for flash crossing zone of device.

Okay. Doing the last NoDo now. have taken a couple of backups. I'm wondering where are the archived backups that Windows Phone 7 Backup utility mentions before taking a newer backup?
Alert! Alert!
Okay. all went well. I saw the latest numbers in About. MangoB2 done. BUT, i took a backup and after the backup was complete, the WP7 Backup utility told me to disconnect o that the pone reboots... that never happened... phone is stuck now... if it use the power button, it reboots and comes back to the connect to PC screen. upon connecting, nothing happens. if i run Zune, it alerts me to restore to a earlier point.
What am I to do?
Okay... so after a while of fear.... I decided to let Zune restore. I took proper backups after every stage. So I restored to the point where I just installed MangoB2 7712. It worked. Restore was successful and HD7 is OK.
Question: Now it'd unlocked and freely accessing internet, how do I prevent a re-lock?
In other news: Zune just said it has an update for itself and crashed while trying to install complaining about a component failure...
Observations: If I take backup using WP7 Backup, my device hangs after I disconnect cable and I have to restore again as it is stuck in a loop
Prevent re-lock is done edit registry by using CustClear.provxml .(if not prevent it will relock everytime u connect to Zune.)
About Zune after u using mango beta u should install zune beta too.
About backup I don't know the solution.i had to restore too

Can you point me to the thread? I found a thread last night that mentioned the use of a registry editor for WP7. But I do know that No RegEdit is working with Mango B2 ATM. So CustClear.provxml is the way to go.

Sorry, I didn't understand what file I should send you?
"Windows Phone Developer Registration" is official unlock u don't need it.
i don't have mango SDK.
First windows phone SDK is work fine.
This tool is to RELOCK your phone (NOT UNLOCK!!) This tool only works on Samsung devices!
So why would you want to lock your phone?? Well, one reason: to do a legit unlock.
Many of you may have used all kinds of methods to unlock your phone and then applied the "Prevent relock" settings. This also prevents to do any further locking/unlocking. You can't do a legit unlock, even if you wanted. Also, if you relock your phone you may not be able to unlock your phone anymore. You lock yourself out, because your phone can't communicate with the Microsoft servers anymore. You will first need to restore the settings for this communication. If you don't do that, and you lock yourself out, only a hard-reset will safe you.
This tool will completely restore your unlock settings: This will LOCK your phone back to original!
After you relocked your phone you can unlock your phone with a legit AppHub account or with the new Chevron Tool, which was released today. So when you use the relock-tool, be sure you have means to do a legit unlock or else you won't be able to unlock your phone!
After you successfully unlocked your phone again, you can apply Interop Unlock again.
DISCLAIMER
Use this tool at your own risk! You may want to make a backup of your phone first, before you start playing with locking/unlocking! I will not take any responsibility for lock-outs or any other damage caused directly or indirectly by using this tool!

As usual thanks for the .xap !
Am I right that the prevent from relocking hack is one reason why a lot of people have problems with the new Chevron unlocker ?
I think samsung users can deploy your xap without any risk because they can unlock their devices anytime with the diagnosis app... Good to have this xap just for the case.
Anyway I don´t see any reason why I should waste the 9 bucks for the new unlocker... It makes only sense for 2nd gen devices and only if you are able to interop-unlock the device....

That's only if you have put the xml in the provxml folder before! This could be done manually or using the interop-unlock-exploit. If you didn't do that, you do need to have other means (like the new Chevron unlocker).

One reason could be that you have to hard-reset for some reason and you don't want to revert to RTM. Also if you just want to experiment with locking/unlocking. I was in the beta-program for the Chevron tool, so I created this tool for myself to do the tests for Chevron team.

For sure the .xml files have to be in provxml folder before.
I think updating an OMNIA 7 from 7004 to 7720 doesn´t take so much time either.
Yesterday I did it again because I wanted to get the latest T-Mobile Germany firmware: 2424.11.9.4.
The only annoying thing is that atm I need 2 laptops because my main laptop I have updated to SDK 7.1 and the "old" chevron unlocker doesn´t work anymore...

Well, there's another reason for the new Chevron unlocker. Take a close look the Chevron certificate: expiration date = 2011/11/25. That's in a few weeks from now. We could of course create a new cert and insert that in the old chevron tool. That would probably work too.

That´s a valid argument for the new unlocker.
What about setting a wrong date before unlocking (maybe on device and desktop) ?
Edit:
Indeed it will expire soon... hmm
Are you able to edit the .cert ?
Very usefull.. Thanks..
Heath, strongly recommend you stop touching the Portal Urls in your unlock. Have a few folks who screwed their phones up, incl. my second Focus. "Cliffed" phones has a nice ring to it

My phone isn´t "Cliffed", but still without unlock, although I have paid my token yesterday... Besides I was 10 hours queued without success...
Is there any hope to get the server working again today ?

Hi Raphael!
LOL I get your point. But I don't think Interop Unlock is possible without modifying the produrl's. If they are not cleared, the Interop Unlock will be undone everytime you sync with Zune.
But I think this is someyhing people should be aware of. So I will add a comment on that in the opening post of the Interop Unlock thread.
Actually, there is not much damage if you used the Interop Unlock. If you relocked your phone after Interop Unlock, you can unlock it again by doing step 8 - 11 again. That's it.
Edit: worst-case-scenario: a hard reset will fix it too.

That would've meant lost Plants vs. Zombies saves which would have caused me to fly there and kick your butt.
I think a workaround would be to use a background agent like screenshot tool to re-apply the unlock count (maybe even have a button to lock the phone in your app.)

Haha!
1. You asked for it, dude!
2. You can always just ask me I would give you a solution.
3. You're always welcome in the Netherlands. But please don't kick me in the butt. Your foot won't fit. It will hurt. We'll have a couple of beers together.
About the background agent: I doubt that will work. Normally you would need Interop Access to change the settings for Interop Unlock. So, as soon as Interop Unlock is remove during Zune sync, the background agent won't work anymore. I will do a couple of tests to see if there are alternatives.

My student account just expired and I am now unable to open any XAPS already installed on my phone (license revoked) and as my phone is Interop locked, will that mean I need to hard-reset my phone to get back to a unlockable state again?

Yeah, I could do it. But I think I shouldn't. I wouldn't want to step on to toes of the ChevronWP7 guys.

Reg carrier unlocked phones
Hai,
I am having a carrier unlocked samsung focus. I had done interop developer unlock. If I relock my phone using your method , will it affect my carrier unlock ?
Moreover, Is simply hard resetting the phone will lock the interop unlock?
Carrier unlock has nothing at all to do with any kind of dev- or interop-unlock. It's kind of like asking "If I lock my keys in the car, will I be unable to access my bank account?" - the only connections are that both of them are on the phone, and both have some effect on your ability to do a thing.
Dev- and Interop-unlocks are registry changes (part of the core WinCE OS that underlies WP7). Those will be wiped on a hard reset. SIM-unlock is handled in a completely different part of the phone altogether. If it weren't, you could change the SIM lock by flashing the ROM from another carrier.
i just cant deploy anything i getting class not registred error , itried to re jailbreak my phone many times i tried many deploys tools nothing worked...
what can i do?
i got the focus s , with window break thank you
Do you've enabled Zune when you deployed apps to your Phone?
Do you have chevron unlock? Do you have interop-unlock?
i have a window break hack , zune is always runing but nothing happend
Do you tried to do something in bootloader mode?
Or maybe you've to restart your WP by Settings>>Info>>Restore (or something like that, because i haven't default english lang)

you need at least developer- or or Chevron-unlock to use the window-break.

No you don't, WindowBreak works fine on locked devices. It unlocks the phone, like chevron but in a "different" way so it's interop unlock.
This is the wrong section for this, but to sideload apps you have to either be Chevron (or equivalent) unlocked and certain apps require you to be inter-op unlocked.
Things you can try:
Install the registry editor for your phone and check to make sure you are inter-op unlocked. If you can't sideload this app try sideloading just a simple homebrew app.
If your xap sender gives you an error it would be helpful what error you get.

Totally off-topic. I saw your sig.
