ChevronWP7 Labs will allow users to sideload apps to Windows Phone - Windows Phone 7 General

ChevronWP7 Labs is a new home brew tool that will allow users to sideload apps to Windows Phone via a PC. The ChevronWP7 team has announced that they plan to launch a new tool called ChevronWP7 Labs, in collaboration with Microsoft. This is also said to feature a Windows Phone unlocking service available across all regions. Unlike the first ChevronWP7 App , ChevronWP7 Labs will NOT be free. According the ChevronWP7 Team

[Q] XAP access

Does anyone know of a way to access or download a XAP downloaded from the Marketplace on to a device.
I was unable to find any XAP files in the Zune backup directories. Has anyone had any luck with this?
Thanks
If you put your phone in WiFi mode, you can use wireshark (possibly along with Cain and Abel) to sniff the connection when you are downloading it. That's what Hounsell did over in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=820455&page=3
That feature was removed a couple of days ago when a website was linking people directly to the files of the zune marketplace. This was actually a feature for developers to use so they could share the app with other testers, but since it was abused it was removed. Also downloading the xap files is only half the battle you need to have a developer unlocked phone inorder to load the app and run it on your phone.

When you install WP7 bits, you will have a start menu folder called "Windows Phone Developer Tools". There are 3 programs listed: "Application Deployment", "Windows Phone 7 Emulator" and "Windows Phone Developer Registration". After registering your phone you be able to upload XAP even on retail device. At least I've tested recently arrived AT&T's HTС Surround.

To register your phone, you'll need a WP Developer Account, so yes. You will need a developer-unlocked Phone
I think you're confused between a Developer Phone (ie, one that's pre-release for development purposes) and a Developer-unlocked Phone (one that's retail, but has been unlocked with a developer account so that it can run unsigned, non-marketplace code).
U mean the problem is in the $99 to become a developer? ;-) It's not a real problem, at least for that forum members, I think so...

Tom XAP Author: Change request

(The original thread has too many pages, and would likely go unnoticed.)
We, in Chevron support land, keep receiving the same complaints over and over again re: Tom XAP Installer. Users are attempting to use Tom XAP Installer (v1.2) to deploy interop-required XAPs and they're receiving the misleading error message:
- Please Make sure your phone was unlocked!
- Please Make sure you connected device to PC and Zune lauched
Try again ?

We'd appreciate if you added code to detect 0x81030120 and show a proper error message. It should say something like:
Your phone is not "interop unlocked", which this XAP requires [...] Check out this thread on XDA for more information.

Why not just tell people to use the official MS deployment tool?
I always use the Ms original tool , or a private one from one here at xda.

which one do you use. Actually those who wants to sideload should have a few xap installer apps in their pc then they will know whether it's the chevron unlock or their installer that has a problem>I know that installer has some pros and cons.

I use the MS one and a closed beta from ultrashot (ultrashot one isn't online and maybe never will so don't ask him, if he wants to release he will )
no the problem is @ tom xap sideloader , and I didn't see him here for a long time @ the wp forums

Jailbreak Nokia Lumia 710?

I've seen some threads on other forums for "Jailbreak Nokia WP 7.5", but it doesn't work in my Lumia 710 because I cant install the XAP (Nokia_Interop_Unlock_by_Heathcliff74) for do the Jailbreak.
Any way to get my Lumia 710 Jailbraked?

Yes, that method.

No, cause I read about the method in another forum without the entire explanation...
Try downgrading your firmware to pre 15x and try the "jailbreak" again

Interop Unlock for Nokia Lumia (all models) cannot be achieved at the moment. The hack you refer to was a proof of concept which never worked.
There is no method to do it then?
In order of most powerful to less powerful 'hacks':
Full Unlock: No method yet
Interop Unlock: No method yet
Developer Unlock: Two (was: three) legal methods:
* Register for AppHub account and pay 99 dollar/year to be able to sideload 10 apps
* Register for AppHub student, abviously you must be a student and you get to sideload 3 apps
* (In the early days: Use Chevron Labs for 10 sideloads for $9. Tokens have sold out so not available anymore)

Someone should make a chart like this ofr all WP devices. If you don't want to I will but I think it would be a good idea.
Also this thread should really be in the Q&A
That should clear things up yes. Unfortunately i do not have the time available to compile such list. So be my guest to get started with it!
Please take in mind that there are lots of phones out there which can be interop unlocked but only by reverting back to ROMs before certain driver versions. Once such ROM is loaded, apply Interop Unlock, and let zune update to the latest version. This can be a time consuming operation. Also note that while upgradeing this interop unlocked roms will remain interop unlocked (no updates have been found which relock the phones as of yet) it might mean that certain tools (TouchExperience for example) stop working because they use exploits only available in certain drivers.
Full unlock is, as far as i know, is only possible by loading a customized ROM, which requires a unlocked bootloader.
Can be difficult to compile all this into a schema but i wish you the best of luck!
Edit: think you already know, but an excellent starting point for such a list is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
ok i'll do it.

Thanks: Briefcase for original idea, all the great devs who work to find unlocks (Jaxbot, Heathcliff74, DFT Team, GoodDayToDie, and others)
Definitions of Unlocks:
FULL: Policy has been modified to allow for running of native executables. This lets you do things like running properly recompiled Windows Mobile code. This also allows for all the things root unlock offers.
ROOT: Policy is elevated on a per app basis via Root Tools (version 0.9) to allow Silverlight apps to run with root privilege. This lets you do things like install XAP's via IE.
INTEROP: Achieved by setting MaxUnsignedApps to 300 or greater. This allows an app to use the Interop Services capability, meaning it can use drivers on the phone. This allows for neat things like editing the registry or accesssing the file system. Just to be clear though just because your device is Interop Unlocked that does always mean that hacks that require Interop Unlock to deploy will work on your device since they may use exploites that don't exist on your device.
DEVELOPER: This allows a user to sideload apps.
Heathcliff74 does a great job of explaining this all in greater detail over HERE, or in his BLOG.

*CDMA only phones can only be interop/full unlocked via custom ROM's, also the Verizon Trophy can be Interop Unlocked but requires v1 drivers and extra steps to unlock.
If you got the time you should incorperate the following caveats (see my post here):

Once such ROM is loaded, apply Interop Unlock, and let zune update to the latest version. This can be a time consuming operation.

Because now, although better than having no list at all, it isn't complete.
Also methods for developer unlock are the same for any phone type so they could be taken apart. You migh also want to explain what the different type of unlocks are for to be very complete (link to approriate resources).
Good job. Ask mods to pin this thread to the forum's top.
P.S. May be, Q&A is better place for that topic?

Yeah, I thought about where to post this for a bit, I figured it has more to do with dev & hacking but if a mod feels it should be in the Q&A or maybe even General by all means. I just figured it might cut down on the Q's asked here in Development if it stays here.
u wrote 7 times about how to get dev-unlocked, little bit redudant, don't you think so ? what about a grid, displaying it clearer? just a suggestion
so far, well done

Redundant, Yes. But if I don't do it that way I can almost guarantee that someone will ask/say "So I can't developer unlock my phone? I know it says all phones can dev unlock via these means but does that include mine?"
These are the same people that ask Q's in the dev & hacking forum...
excellent vedemecum
now we have a fast look place to check unlocking status of our devices.
thank you!
How does the new version of WP7 Root Tools fit into this?
It's going to allow you to give root access on an app-by-app basis... which gives the apps you select the same level of access as a full unlock, without being a full unlock.
we will cross that bridge when we get there.
A few clarifications:
HTC gen1.5 (the CDMA phones, Sptrint's Arrive and Verizon's Trophy) are special cases.
Arrive can't be interop-unlocked at all right now, short of a custom ROM. This is because it can't use Connection Setup.
VTrophy can be IUed, but requires special instructions beyond the normal steps for pure-GSM phones.
Last I checked, there aren't any *published* custom ROMs for the Verion Trophy (not sure about the Arrive) although I know some are in development.
HTC Custom ROMs:
Up-to-date GSM phones will need their bootloaders downgraded. For gen1 phones, there are some ways to do this. If you don't downgrade first (to bootloader/SPL 3.1 or below) and try to install a custom ROM, you'll break the bootloader somewht permanently (very hard to repair).
LG phones:
The registry editing can be used for dev-unlock as well as interop-unlock. In fact, Interop-unlock is meaningless without dev-unlocking first (applies to all phones).
Samsung phones (both generations):
WindowBreak is a dev-unlock as well as an interop-unlock. You might want to distinguish it from the other Samsung interop-unlocks, which require first getting a dev-unlock somehow.
I hope to get full-unlock (I already have arbitrary-app-as-root) on HTC gen1 via the HtcUtility driver (part of HtcRoot project). But, that will take time and will only work on very old firmware (from the Mango beta days). It will also require already being interop-unlocked.

I made a note about the Arrive in the second post already, I'll add the Trophy to the note.
I'll will clarify the whole WindowBreak thing, I have it listed that higher level unlocks include the lower level abilities but I suppose it would be a good idea to mention that WindowBreak doesn't need dev unlock first.
I plan to note full privilege app escalation once that is available but I don't want to confuse people for now.
I'll have to give ya a thanks tomorrow, I seem to have maxed myself out today but thanks for all the good points.
Great idea & post! Would hit the thanks button if they had it on the WP7 app.

This is not completely true. Arrives can only be IU with custom ROM. The Verizon Trophy with v1 drivers stock ROMs CAN be IU but you follow a slightly different procedure (Heathcliff has it in his first post here). I came up with this procedure and several (myself included) have used it.
---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------
Well, technically what is stated is true since the VZW Trophy is not a CDMA only but CDMA and GSM, but it is not clear what is written implies the Trophy is fine with Stock as long as v1 drivers are used.

While it gives root access to Silverlight apps, it won't be the same as full unlock. You will not be able to run native executables etc.

If it's not released then how will we know what can and can't be done on it yet? I think it's safe to just assume that if a phone isn't out yet and thus not in the hands of a dev the status of unlocks of any kind aside from official dev unlocks would be 'unknown'
Wow, coming from Android this is a complete 180
Just a quick question, but I have a Samsung Omnia W and did a succesful Windowbreak on it so are you saying that it is now Interop as well as Developer unlocked ??
If that is so then I wonder why it is that the majority of 3rd party apps I have managed to succesfully put on my phone do not work.
Apps such as Metro Themes, Advanced Configuration Tool and WP7 Root Tools. I am basically looking to apply custom colours to my tiles and background and have not been able to do it at all.
I thought a Developer unlock would allow me to do all these things ?
I must be missing something
Cheers for a great guide !! Really makes things much more clear !!
Cheers, LL13-
