Hey guys, Sorry for posting yet another chevron thread.
I have a problem which I don't hear other people about. I have been trying to unlock my hd2 for days now with no results.
For me the problem is not that I cannot connect my hd2, but that when I run the unlock tool the programm crashes.
- I installed Zune and the sdk.
- the phone connects properly
- I turned of automatic date, skype, firewall, anti virus
- the host file is not set to read only
- all .cer is installed
- reset my sd card (settings -> about -> reset)
- tried airplaine mode on and off
- I have tried 2 different pc's.
Now, the last one is what I am not sure about, because both pc's were windows xp. I am not sure if that might be the problem.
I hope anyone can help me and that I don't have to flash back to android. Thanks!

After following the normal guides, this is what I have completed so far using Windows XP SP3:
1) Install Zune
2) Install the certificate file on the phone + regedit the PC
3) Connect the phone to the PC
4) Zune finds the phone and is able to connect
5) Chevron opens, I tick the two boxes, but then errors with 'I am unable to communicate...'
To resolve I have tried:
Ensuring hosts file is not read-only
Delete any entries for windowsphone in hosts file
Put phone into airplane mode
Run chevron as administrator
Disable all A/V and F/W
Disable all network adapters / wireless etc
Can anyone suggest anything else to resolve?
You DEFINATELY need to install Windows phone 7 SDK- i had the same issue, i could resolve it by installing the SDK.
But that can only be installed on windows vista/7 right? Not on XP

excellent, thankyou kind sir. Will give it a go. Apols for not searching hard enough!
ah,
That didn't work. YOu need the developer tools installed before you can install this and that needs windows vista/7 anyway.
RIght, have finally managed to install everything. Still no working
64bit WIN 7
Is the chevron7.exe working on 64bit WIN7 or only on 32bit version?
I give up..
Have installed Zune and developer tools, spent all day on this and I'm no futher. Chevron does not work.
For me too.. Chevron doesn't work.
I have the same problem. I got it unlocked, locked it again and now i can't unlock it anymore

How can i : 1)ensure hosts file is not read-only?
2)delete entries of windows phone in hosts file
??

Hi,
Make sure you don't forget this one:
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. etc)
windows phone sdk is the Microsoft Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone?
I finally managed to unlock!
This probably won't help the people who can't re-unlock, but the final issue at my end was that I was using a web proxy. The Zune service uses the domain defaults for proxy settings (which, for me, is set to automatic discovery). I noticed with Process Monitor that most http requests from Zune went through the Privoxy proxy on my server. (Which of course, does not know about how ChevronWP7 redirects developerservice.microsoftphone.com to the fake local service.)
After disabling the proxy and rebooting (to make sure the Zune *service* (not the app) picks up the change), ChevronWP7 worked as advertised. Note, however, that I needed to click "Unlock" twice - the first time I got the usual connection error.
I hope this helps someone!
I think that I´m going to have to give up on WP7. At least untill they come out with a better chevron. I´ve been working on this since WP7 first was announce on DFT´s website.

I´ve tried a thousand times.
I had the same problem. I closed all applications that used up the internet, including my web explorer. Then tried again and it worked fine.
I gave up.. however I then used another Windows Vista PC (instead of my windows XP SP3) and all worked fine.

Are you running Windows 7, have you installed the SDK, have you installed Zune and have you followed this guide to the letter?

Do all of that and you should have a working phone that is unlocked.
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools; done
2. Install zune;done
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;done
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);done
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;done
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;done
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)done
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)done
still locked
Are you doing a full hard reset and then reinstalling the certificate? It should work after the PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt values get returned to the default.
yes I have done by pushing + and - volume button
solution
the default year in WP7 is 2010 it took me a while to realize i was forcing the phone due to the date.
small thing easy to overlook hope it helps
edit: with the correct date phone should unlock

On #5 did you use touchXplorer to copy that file to Windows directory?
Remember Zune will lock you HD2 everytime you connect your usb. use the crack in this forum to prevent that.
are you using windows XP?
Also try putting chevronwp7.exe in the root of your c: drive and run as administrator. I've seen people say that it isn't necessary, but I had to.
Also if you're using vista or windows 7 make sure UAC is disabled.
besides turning off the firewall, i turned off the windows defender service.
It might do the trick.
Solved
Thanks to everybody
My problem is solved.
Like audit angel was saying the default year is 2010, and the solution was there for me.
When I changed the year to 2011 Chevronwp7 did his job.
What an idiot I was!!!
Hi all i m new in the community but an experienced user, i flashed wp7 on my hd2 set up everything, wifi, data plan, e-mail accounts, got an activation code and all. The thing is i can't unlock the phone using chevron, and man i tried EVERYTHING.

Installed BsBTweaks on my HTC HD2, but now ActiveSync won't connect to my phone. PC O/S is Win XP SP2. I'm running WinMo 6.5 and have the latest ROM for the device from my provider, version 3.14.531.1. I get the message: "Critical communication services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again." I haven't yet made any changes to the device using BsBTweaks, I only installed it. Have tried rebooting the phone to no avail. I have to use Disk Drive mode to get at the pictures on my SD card. Is there a way to get ActiveSync working again? I'd probably donate to the developers if this problem could get corrected and I can reasonably figure to keep and use BsBTweaks. Thanks.

Restarted the PC - worked like a charm. Thanks a million. I can breathe again.
...And I just made a modest donation. Thanks very much.
Troubleshooting Sync Connection with Your Computer
You can often solve any temporary sync connection problems by disconnecting your phone from the sync cable, waiting a few seconds, and then reconnecting it. However, sometimes you may experience persistent problems related to your network connection (for example, your Internet connection). You may be unable to sync your phone while there is an active network connection on your computer, or the network connection may be cut when you connect your phone to your computer. If this happens, you can try switching to a serial USB connection for your phone:
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab.
2. Tap Menu > All Settings > Connections > USB to PC.
3. Clear the Enable faster data synchronization check box.
4. Tap Done.
It seems (by doing several searches here in XDA) that there's a fair amount of ppl. having this issue. And I can't seem to find solid responses about this yet.
Status:
- Pdaimatejam ROM Tango 7.10. (No issues other than Zune and WPDM sync)
- Device Manager shows no issues with the driver. (Device recognized under Portable Devices as HTC HD7 T9292) ...although mine is an HD2.
- Installed WPDM but is asking me or the SDK 7.1 (which I am currently downloading)...
- Touchexperience downloaded but I have no way of running it as can't sync the device with neither WMDC nor WPDM. - also, not sure if this has anything to do with this issue. (I read in one thread that it might help)
- Have ALL windows updates. YES I have made several resets. Connect/disconnect etc. I DO have a windows Live ID.
- I have reinstalled Zune a couple of times already.
how can I get zune to detect my device?
How do I sync this device then?
Thanks a bunch.

you're running wp7...the pc will see as a hd7
you may have a live id, but do you have an activation code to authorize the wp7 phone installation?
don't know what you mean by all windows updates...what updates for pda'a rom? it'a all self contained flash.
have you tried rebooting the pc after zune installation?
you need to have zune running in order to use wpdm
and by resets, did you do hard resets either from setttings..reset or the hardware reset (vol up/down simultaneous during phone boot)
sometimes phone recognition by zune can be slow sometimes.
got the activation code. I am able now (after installing Visual Studio) of using WPDM to transfer files to the device. The Zune issue persists.
I did hardware resets, installed all from scratch (HSPL3, MAGLDR, RADIO) and finally ROM Pdaimatejam Tango 7.10.877.
Thanks for your quick reply hjhjhj!

i run into zune connection issues once in a while too...it usually comes down to doing a pc diskclean process and reboot the pc and try again.
