this will only work ONE time within a 6 month period as they only allow you to change it once within 6 months. There customer services is utter crap. Just so you know as now you have changed yours you wont be able to change it again for another 6 months no matter what.

You know, there are "unoffical patches" for this reason...
You know, I just call them and they add the new device code into the licensing for my product code. Have changed 4 times in the last three months. No Issues, Explained my problem, I was transferred and the gentleman did while at I was on phone.

I just ordered TomTom 6 for my softbank, and this subject concerns me. Like a lot of you here, I like to flash the ROM on my phone when a new one comes out. What should I do to keep from being locked out of software that I paid for to use in case my Device ID changes after I flash to another ROM? Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

ANY help out there on this?
It seems like there is a choice: Download Tomtom traffic / speed camera and NEVER flash your device again, OR forget about Tomtom traffic / speed camera and FLASH happily forever.
I'm still not decided! I woulda thought there was a way by now to keep your device code after flashing a new ROM but the silence out there seems to suggest that there isn't!
Damnnnnnnnnnnn it!!!!
My device code just changed over night for no reason at all! Now Tomtom thinks I have a new phone and doesn't let me use the speed camera and John Cleese voice I paid for twice!!!
It'd be cheaper just to get a speeding ticket!!!!

Just run the installation program from the pc and it will install automatically
the maps need to be in the storage card as they are, for example if you have a uk & ireland map that must be in \storage card\uk and ireland map( or whatever the map is called ) folder.
The software for tomtom should install onto the device. Then simply run it and then activate your maps
You can also "cut" the Navigator folder out of "My programs" directory on the hermes and paste on SD card. You just have to send a shortcut to your "Start Menu" folder in the windows directory. Did this with Resco explorer 2007, Works flawlessly. A little bit extra time to start up but not enough to worry about.
Cheers...
Can someone explain how it is that I don't need any activation code for the maps on my Tomtom?
My Tomtom came on a memory card when I bought the phone on ebay. Once installed on the phone all the maps work fine (no activation needed), even if I flash the ROM and thus change the device code.
When the device code changes, the only thing that goes is Tomtom plus services, like downloaded stuff and Traffic.
Explanation anyone?

Good luck,
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.

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.

wow thats good news
A lot of people have seen the links on WPCentral and WMPowerUser for force updating to Tango using the cab sender method.
I've been posting in that thread since yesterday and I'm seeing countless people messing up their phones by (a) not using the cab sender tool to make a backup before sending the updates or (b) not installing the language packs with the update or not installing the correct language packs.
The other thing people should be aware of is that for some people the update is removing INTEROP unlock. If you have a very recent Samsung firmware there may be no way to unlock again.
Tango adds very few features. Location awareness icon is not there. Export to SIM only appears to be there for a select few. Unless MMS is something that your life depends on, wait until more work can be done by the developer community analyzing what effects the 8112 and 8773 updates have on all the different phones & variations (carrier/unbranded) thereof.
EDIT: One user with a Dell Venue Pro has most probably irreversibly bricked his phone by applying the update.
If you want to force the update, try it:
http://www.wp7connect.com/2012/06/28/how-to-force-tango-update-on-your-device/
Worked for me. Needed two updates. The second one was 8773, then I received Nokia firmware.
i don't understand how those steps are able to work. if the wlan connection is killed while zune is searching for an update it returns a 'can't check for updates right now' error.
If you do it the right timing, it will stop the checking of the phone carrier etc. So thats something like
Connect to server > Check Atual Version > Check Last Version Available > Check if allowed to update > Update
When you kill the wlan, you are supposed to it exactly in the part that check if you are allowed to update. When it doesnt receive a response from server, it just update. Basically, you jump one step.
And it works perfectly. I've done this with Mango, now I done this with Tango too. Believe, it's not troll.
Another method is to count how much time it takes to answer you that your software is up to date. And then take 1-3 seconds off. That's when you have to disconnect. So you keep trying alternating the time you disconnect your pc.
thanks for the explanation of the sequencing.
i love wp7, and the lumia has been great...but i think it's a bit strange that updates are via zune software only, yet they stripped the marketplace accessibility functions from that same software making them ota only. sorry for the stray OT.

WP 8 is going to have OTA update. And a rumour that 7.8 too (I dont know what for. Will MS release updates after 7.8 to 1st and 2nd generation?). But I think the Kernel CE is the one to blame here. Its not a big problem for me. You will have like 2~3 updates in one year. That gives one update every 4 months or 6 months. I dont mind connecting my WP to computer.

on what carrier are you?
It worked for my carrier unlocked Samsung Focus.
At first I installed the OS updates (4), then I tried to install the 5 lenguages that my phone needed but an error prevented that, so after I tried to install only my main lenguage and it worked!
I agree, it's not really worth it, I use the MMS feature, but this cab update method it's not very stable in all phones.
I finally couldn't take the disappearing keyboard issue on my HTC HD7s. As far as I read, AT&Crap had no intention of providing that update, or Tango for that matter. I followed the steps for the cab loading updates and they worked fine. Haven't noticed any adverse effects for the past few days. Now I just bide my time until my contract ends so I can grab whatever decent WP8 phones that come out.
We've been doing force update thing from the Mango days. It's a easy process *IF* people follow the directions. It does work but, you must have the correct language packs/files to install with it.
It also could remove your Unlock.
If you READ THE DIRECTIONS and RE-READ THE DIRECTIONS, then FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS you should be fine.
It's people who are in a rush who brick or screw up their phone.

Question about the Tango update...
On My Lg it went smooth... i see sms picture, video that i can attach, but i have ringtone in place of voicenotes ??
Anyone else experience this?
Tango on at&t Lumia 900???
So is there any confirmation that people are able to do the Tango update on the Lumia 900 on at&t via the disconnect internet trick? I've tried a couple of times and been unsuccessful. I don't want to waste my time continuing if it won't work.

After several attempts finally got the prompt for update OS to 7.10.8112 however the update was unsuccessful!! Did it 2nd time but again the update was unsuccessful???
Not sure why it's doing this? If I cannot update to 7.10.8112 then I cannot update to Tango 7.10.8773.98
Has anyone else experienced this on unlocked European Titan? If it helps I'm currently on OS version 7.10.8107.79 and with Bootloader version 2.6

Hi everyone
This is my first post here and a sad one at present.
i restored my G3 back to stock last night and all seemed to go well but now my phone says McaFee mobile security your device is locked and is asking for a pin to unlock it.
i don't have this pin and i don't have a clue how to get it, i purchased the phone as a used mobile and it was all good until i did the root back to stock because lollipop was causing some serious lag issues.
can anyone please help me with a way around this if possible
big thanks in advance
Contact the person who sold you the phone. He entered the PIN. McAfee thinks the phone is stolen now.
You can try flashing stock firmware (kdz) file with CSE flash. It could help

Thanks for the reply
I contacted the seller and it seems the phone is infact 3rd hand if not more and basically he does not have the pin
i did the firmware flash and thats why I'm in the pickle now as the phone knows its been factory reset and MacaFee kicks in for security, the sellers not interested as he sold me the phone working which it was but lollipop was just killing the phone when i updated it and after trying to get back to kitkat I'm in brick land
If anyone else has a suggestion or can help then please do get in touch if possible
Thank you
In fact the previous owner set up an account here: McAffee Mobile Security.
Contact someone there and explain your situation.
I will contact McAfee for sure and see if they can help me but I do believe the answer I will receive will be can't help and I come to this conclusion through general security measure because I'm pretty sure anyone could steel a phone and call them up asking for the unlock code but let's see what they say.
If anyone has had this happen and have found a way around the issue please do send me a private message if you don't wish to publish it as I am stuck big time at present
Cheers
I have just got off the phone with McAfee customer support here in the UK and well to be blunt I'm up that creek without a paddle
Nothing they can do for me because even though the software licence is valid and I have the original owners email address that confirms this because I don't have a prof of purchase for the phone like a receipt or mobile number for the original owner they can not help me I'm anyway
All they said I can do is to keep emailing the owner with this email address and hope for a reply and if I get one enter the pin and it will unlock
So people be very careful if you don't have the pin for your phone as it looks like I have just lost £240 and now have a brick to look at
Again if any of you wonderfully cleaver people know of a fix please do help me out if possible
Thanks

have you tried any diff roms or cyanogen mod? maybe a diff software wont have the mcafee on like cyanogen mod
No I haven't tried to put any other software on because I can no longer access download mode as the McAfee has a kill switch and won't let me do anything from what I can see.
All I can do it switch on my device I can't even get into setting properly because the McAfee block kicks in to quickly and I've tried probably 20 odd times
If anyone can explain a way for me to flash another operating system onto my handset please get in touch as I will try anything rather than have a dead phone and e out of pocket
