Installed WP7 successfully, and unlocked it as instructed.
However, didnt have the activation code. So used everything except Windows Live services.
Next day, I got the code from Microsoft and activated my WP7.
But now the phone has been locked, and I cant unlock it. Tried everything mentioned here like setting dates, turning off firewall etc, but no success.
When I run Chevron, it says can't connect with device.
Otherwise, I am able to connect to Zune and transfer media files.
I like the OS, but dont want to be limited by Marketplace only. I want to install apps. Right now, I cant even install from marketplace as I think there is a limit.
Before you quit on this amazing OS,,,been in the same boat as you for the last two days...just fixed not more than two minutes prior to this post.
-Hard reset your phone
-Do nothint with it besides seting up mail account (not live ofcourse or you migh end up attempting to unlock)
-resend certificate and install on phone
-make sure phone synced with zune
-run chevron as administrator and unlock!
-now deploy all the necessary setup tools,,,Connection setup, XMDMoDDeployer, and Touch explorer,,,finish set up process like you did before.
-use activation code and vwalaa!!!
And by the way,,what ever you do do not try the stop chevron Unlocking reg edit. It has been reported to be the cause of this annoying issue.....and besides you are better off unlocking everytime you wish to deploy an up with chevron than trying to do the initial rom setup and unlocking.,,,if you know what I mean.
Hope this helps.
First read this
a) Make sure you properly install the certificate from your email.
b) Make sure you run the xaps after install and extract then move the file correctly.
I would say a good 85% of cases where you either cant unlock or your phone relocks is because of the above to issues. There are other factors but the above imo are the two mains ones.
PS.. This is NOT the Q&A/General forum , this is the dev forum, please do not post here again.

Ummm, not BS, something is causing a re-lock, but setting the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to invalid values makes ChevronWP7 fail no matter what... Read this thread: For those who can't unlock anymore using ChevronWP7, here's why!
DanielNTX said:
I wrote this inside of another thread, but decided to make a new thread because others may not find it or read it. For those who have tried everything, this is the reason why you can't unlock the phone unless you do a full reset:
The majority of the failures to unlock your phone again is because you used a registry script that changed the HD2 to identify it as an HD7 and may have included registry entries that set PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt to 127.0.0.1 or a Null value and somehow your phone became relocked. Once it's set this way, no matter what you do to unlock the phone it won't work because the proper server to query is "developerservices.windowsphone.com" is not defined on the phone. ChevronWP7 works by hijacking and spoofing the address of developerservices.windowsphone.com to be your local computer and then responds appropriately over port HTTPS (443) to the phone.
From this post, Microsoft/ChevronWP7 responds with this:
Code:
<DaysLeft>365</DaysLeft>
<AppsAllowed>10</a:AppsAllowed>
If you set it to 127.0.0.1 in the registry this references your phone when it tries to unlock. The phone itself is not running a spoofed HTTPS server so it will never work. Setting it to null means it doesn't no where to go either. If your phone is working in Zune and you hit the end button on the phone, you will notice ChevronWP7 will report that the phone is pin-locked, this means ChevronWP7 knows about the phone, but the "uh oh - Please make sure it's connected using USB, Please start the Zune application" message it generates is kind of ambiguous and is not the actual error we are seeing here.
The original values are these:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
and the corresponding certificate is this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's how the phone can trust the HTTPS connection because you imported the certificate.
Now if you change the URL to something else, you will need a corresponding certificate. You can make one with makecert.exe or makessl.exe form the various resource/development toolkits out there on the Microsoft website.
In my example, I'm going to use a site that doesn't exist "developerservices.unlock.me". You should change the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt on the phone as follows:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https:/developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
Now in your hosts. file in \windows\system32\drivers\etc folder, you should set up an entry for developerservices.unlock.me with your computer's own IP address.
Once you do you need to install a new certificate on the phone for whatever host in the URL you made and you will be able to use ChevronWP7 to unlock incase it ever locks you out again.
To simplify the making a self-signed certificate portion, I've created a cert for "developerservices.unlock.me" with the validity date of 1000 days. It's included in this post. Hope this helps you all with maintaining an unlocked Windows Phone 7 and understanding why ChevronWP7 won't unlock anymore.

I think I have found another solution. Follow these steps.
1) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE 100% BATTERY!!
2) Airplane mode on in wp7.
3) Make sure you have zune installed and have a msn acc signed in before doing step 4
****some people have said that you wouldn't need wp7 sdk tools installed so this is an option you can do IN my case i have the sdk tools installed
4) Disconect all connections on your computer.
***MAKE SURE PORT 443 ISNT BEING USED
*** also in my case i didnt turn off my antivirus (you can if you want to).
5) connect phone to computer and sync it.
6) make sure zune starts up and your phone is showing in zune pc application
7) make sure that your phone isnt locked or the screen isnt off
8) start chevron running with admin priv. *(doesnt have to be in root of c)(i left mine in a folder in desktop)
9) load any app of any choice from other guides
*(i recommend doing the unlock reg hack install FIRST!!! B4 DISCONECTING THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER[to keep the phone from relocking its self] and the hd7 reg hack install [if you want to download apps from the market].)

AFTER THIS HACK I CAN RESTART MY PHONE AND SYNC WITH ZUNE AND IT WILL NOT RELOCK THE PHONE BEFORE I HAD TO UNLOCK AT ALMOST EVERY RESTART...
YOU CAN MOVE TO FIRST POST IF YOU LIKE
~mOe~
i have done all that.
Phone is unlocked without any problem.
But when i try to deploy a xap file with tom xap installer it says make sure you're phone is unlockend.
Usb cable is connected and zune is running.
All ready did a master reset, turning off wifi and on airplane mode.
Date and time auto is off.
Can any one help me with this?
hate to say it - dont think its as simple as a master reset - think youll need to reformat sd and reflash wp7.
if sd is buggerd, use 'panasonic sd formatter' with 'format size adjustment' on.
then i guess ud need to follow the tried n tested guides on forum to finish off the install
flashed back to 6.5, format the sd.
Then step by step by the book to 7.
Still same error, unlock without a problem but can't deploy a xap to the phone
If your phone is unlocked and you can't deploy with XAP....try Aplication Deployment from Windows Phone Developer Tools (you'll find it in start-all programs-....). XAP gives me errors so I use this tool...and it works like a charm

I also tried that yesterday.. But i think in order for it to work you need to activate the program from Microsoft!
is there a way to work around that?
I read that more people use the MS program to sideload the apps.

Hello to everyone!
I thought i might start a new thread if no one seems to listen to me on the "official" [ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7720 ready] [28/08] thread
Visual Studio Debugging does not work on the v2 (and also v1) ROM.
The device however is developer unlocked, since the visual studio can deploy the application, but when i try to debug it keeps throwing a message box with "The application could not be launched for debugging. Ensure that the target device screen is unlocked and that the application is installed.". I can also run the application once it is deployed on the device...
I might also add that the problem exists on all the builds from 7008 to 7720...
Before i had DFT rom (don't know which one cause my pal set it up...) and unlocked with ChevronWP7, and it worked with no problem, never got this error message.
I now have v2 ROM with 7720 build, with no OEM and operator packages installed.
Should i try to install one of those to maybe resolve the issue ?
I tried to install "HTC_OEMAPPS_HTC_Europe" but got an error not enough space on the OS memory. My card is 16GB though...
Is anyone else having this issue or are there no app developers up here?
XBmod, Yuki and all the others behind this incredible innovation i really appreciate the work that you put in this (i know it's not easy). But if you have some time i would really like you to look into this issue, because i really doubt there is anything wrong at my host PC. Though there are also complaints about this issue on AppHub with real developer accounts, i tried everything and nothing seemed to work.
I have a suspicion that there is some other registry entry that needs to be changed separated from developer unlock, for VS debugging to work. But then again i don't know nothing about WP7 registry...

Please let me know if you find one.
Though i still suspect it's a problem on the device. We have to figure out what ChevronWP7 does to unlock it. Chevron also needs some certificate to get installed on the phone. http://chevronwp7.com/cert
Could someone else please confirm the problem?
DEV_UNLOCK.cab
I tried with installing DEV_UNLOCK.cab today. It didn't work.
Maybe i'd have to hardreset the phone for it to work, but i don't want to because i have everything set up now.
Would anyone try that for me?
Install DEV_UNLOCK.cab and hard reset the device.
Just wanted to add my voice.
I had the original pre-NoDo and debugging was fine, but now with Mango (v2 ROM), I can deploy, but the debugger won't start.
Anyone have any ideas on a solution?
While I'm de-lurked, Huge thanks to XBMod and Yuki and all other involved in this incredible piece of work.
Thanks!
iOS is so 1984.
I’ve been using the Visual Studio dev dlls (Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity) for an app I’ve been working on so I’ve noticed a difference between official devices and the HD2. Whenever I try to run "Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity.RemoteApplication.Launch()” on a HD2 the device fails with the code “0x80040202”. This works on a real WP7 device and is probably the call that fails when Visual Studio tries to start a debugging session.
Are there any news on this issue?
ROM for debuggin in Visual Studio 2010
Is there any HD2 ROM that works for debug in Visual Studio?
XBmod-Yuki v2 not found, ""The application could not be launched for debugging. Ensure that the target device screen is unlocked and that the application is installed."
Dev_unlock.cab not found.
well, if you have full access to registry (don't know if you do or not), you may try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336137
or ask your chef to add this tweak.
ultrashot, I saw your registry edits in that other post. I pushed a registry editor onto my HD2, but as you suggested, I don't have full access to the registry: drilling down a few levels into the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive gives an access denied message.
My question is basically this: if the DevUnlock CAB is itself setting some registry keys on the device, is it not possible to somehow create another CAB that will set these extra registry keys to enable Visual Studio debugging?
Hi Guys

Hi all,
I have a problem with updating my phone via the update cab sender.
My HD2 is on WP7 7392 now, so I need the wp7 update cab sender and the deviceprovicioning cab. Like this, right?:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then if I run the update cab sender.bat as administrator, and choose 'S', I get this error:
And if I don't run it as administrator but as normal, I get this error (and the same when I drag 'deviceprovisioning.cab' in 'WP7 Update Cab Sender'.
(Sorry it's in Dutch)
It's without typing or clicking on something, just opening 'WP7 Update Cab Sender'.
I also reflashed WP7 because I thought that that may help but after reflashing and updating through zune to 7392, I still have the same problems.
So can please someone help me or give me a tip or something. I need the mango update because in the Nehterlands WP7 is only supported since mango, so I can't use the marketplace with NoDo.
Thanks in advance.
i'm also having same problem...
please some one help us to solve this problem.....
and thanks to "jellenl" for creating this thread with details.
I assume you are running windows 7 on your desktop pc. Dont start it as Administrator as it will cause what you allready had. Just extract the tool to your desktop and add the .cab file you want to deploy in the same directory. Make sure you are not extracting the .pks files! They may look like zip files but they are not.
I don't know why the folder "If needed install this tool" is there. Get rid of it.

I to am experiencing a similar problem as listed in my post [Q] Update Error C00D070A There's a communication error with your phone.
I have received the same error on two machines, both W7P SP1 (64bit&32bit), can you tell me what operating systems and their basic configurations were? I can make a third attempt if needed.

for sending CAB to phone you can also use this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179
your phone should have the date and time as the computer has.and also,have you installed your x64 or x86 tool?
let us know if it helped at all.
also,screen always on,and zune not working
Thanks for the posts.

How would I use this utility to upload standard cabs (my phone has a standard rom and I have no interest in changing that), do I have to update the cabdata.xml file?
@florin_stann
My date and time is sync'd with the computer, x64 tool is insalled on 64bit machine, x86 tool installed on 32bit machine. Screen is set for 15 minutes and Zune process is terminated.

Problem Solved!
Taken from my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22853654#post22853654
After manually backing up my data (there are automated tools you can use) I factory reset my phone and attempted an update to 7740 using the following tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179 with a custom CabData.xml that I created for my phone (VZW Trophy). I updated my OS (7720) and Languages (English - United States (0409) and Spanish (0C0A), the two languages installed by the default) to 7740 successfully, and then updated OS and Languages to 8107 succesfully. After the update process I reseated my battery and factory reset the phone once again, and as expected the latest OS 7.10.8107.79 (8107) is still present on my phone.
It's important to note that I have a factory ROM and my phone already had it's firmware updated automatically (via Zune) to the levels noted in my original post. I believe the WP7 Update Cab Sender would have worked as well but preferred the slick interface wCabSender provided, thanks guys!
No thanks Verizon and HTC, a BIG Thanks to all at xda-developers!
I bought Samsung Omnia 7 which was developer unlocked about 6 months back, it came with Windows phone mango installed when I got it, recently I get a message when I connect it to Zune that there is a minor firmware update available for the device, I haven't installed the update because of the fear of losing my unlock on the phone.
I just want to know considering the fact that my device is developer unlocked, after the installation of new update on the device, will my unlock remain intact or I will be forced to unlock the device again?
I do not see much or any bugs on the device and I see no point in updating the firmware as well, but just want to know what would happen if I did, as I have zero knowledge on the whole thing.

I use OxygenOS 4.5.6, an I've been trying another (wrong) password, which gives an error message.
Are you on TMobile? Not sure if this will help, but I had problems connecting to VPN as well. I am using open VPN instead of the build in VPN setup, I had to edit my TMobile APN setting and then I was able to connect. I can screenshot my APN settings for comparing.
Hi,
Would you like to help us to capture the log of your issue?
here is step:
1. Input *#800# from dialing interface, enter "oneplus logkit", delete history log
2. Click "save log"
3. Reproduce the issue and take a screenshot to record the time, then stay for a few minutes (better above ten minutes)
4. Click “save log” again to stop it, then send us the whole oem_log folder (file manager-storage) along with the screenshots
My email address is :
[email protected]
Thanks

To clarify some potential misunderstanding:
I cannot even create a VPN configuration. Whenever I tap on the plus-Button in the VPN-activity the encryption password for my device is asked. And that again and again ...
In the meantime I found a App from my router's manufacturer (Fritz!Box), which easily lets me create the VPN and gives me a stable connection.
I also had a contact to a very nice person from OnePlus, but I should re-lock my bootloader, which I want to avoid, because a rooted device is ways more important for ma, than creating a VPN with Android's on-board-tools.
Hope this clears, that the problem is not connecting to a VPN, but creating a connection.
Cheers, Klaus

You have to input the user password and shared key password in the correct places.
If you mix them up the next prompt will ask you again, and again, and again, and again for the password

Exactly this IS te problem: When I click the '+'-Button I am asked for the password of my device.
I am *NOT* prompted for the credentials of a new VPN.
And then the password prompt repeats ever and ever ...
BTW, entering a wrong password here, is rejected, so I am sure to have entered the correct device-password.
ok my bad
is it the password for credential storage ?
if yes : go to lockscreen options, disable swipe to unlock or password to unlock
instead set a pin to unlock or a schema
confirm the pin (or the schema)
go back to the vpn menu, and normally now when you click the "+" it will not ask you anymore for this device/storage password and let you edit/add a new VPN
The solution

is it the password for credential storage ?
if yes : go to lockscreen options, disable swipe to unlock
set a pin to unlock (or schema)
confirm the pin (or the schema)
go back to the vpn menu, and normally now when you click the "+" it will not ask you anymore for this device/storage password and let you edit/add a new VPN
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes it was that password. Together with OnePlus-Support I found a Solution:
Switching the unlock method from password to pin or pattern, and then back to password, and then - voila -
Adding a VPN works!
Thanks, for the support!
exactly what I was thinking, it's an old bug present since android 4.x
sorry I didn't read correctly your problem the first time
