Hi guys.
You will all properly think here we go again with this noob question.
I have spent several nights figuring out how to jailbreak / dev unlock my omnia 7 without success.
It was an official t-mobile de version but i did the resistor trick to enter download mode and flashed the retail version i could find in one of the posts.
Now i am on version 7.0.7392 and i would like to unlock the device so i could registry edit my region so i can have a dutch phone when the mango update roles out. ( i also tried downgrading to nodo )
i have read much post but every time i get a error communicating message.
i have edited my host file, installed dev phone software installed certs, stopped running services on port 443, etc. etc.
but i couldn't connect to the phone with chevron.
Do i need to be on a special firmware version or something before this works?
is there someone out hear ho could help?
is there nobody how could help me?
hello,
i had the same issue as you a while back. if i remember correctly, chevron doesn't support nodo - i think it only supports 7008 or earlier. so, flash a pre-nodo rom, and remember to put your phone in aeroplane mode before you connect it to your pc to dev unlock it. also install samsungtools.xap and select prevent devie relock, as well as enable 3g toggle if you want - i find it very handy. reboot your phone after selecting prevent device relock in the samsung tools on your newly developer-unlocked phone.
Hi there thanks for the reply, i have already downgraded to version 7.0.7004
but still the same errors, cant communicate with phone. make sure you are running zune and the usb cable is connected.
do i need to run this from a windows xp machine?
i have done so many things now, installing dev tools. edit registry , airplane mode downgrading firmware, stop running process using port 443, tried 3 diferent machines already now. i cant figure it out.
Is there any solution for this problem .I am on 7008 and getting the same errors I need to install apps on this device
I managed to get get it work. but it is verry strange.
i do not know what it didt to make it work.
but you need to install windows developers tools ( start from a fresh install of zune and developers tools ) run chevron as administrator with the screen unlocked.
Also make sure you install the certificate on your phone.

While I was busy stumbling through threads and deployments of xaps to try and get my marketplace to work, I somehow managed to click 'Relock' on my Chevron unlocker, and now I can't get it to unlock again! I get "
-Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone.
-Please make sure it's connect using USB
-Please start the Zune application" Zune's running and it even says the phone's connected, but I can't sync anything to it because i get a C00D2772 error, and can't get that fixed either. So the problem really is, Zune is connected to the phone, and so is the USB. I also can't deploy anything.
I saw this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922853, but I have NO idea what its saying.
I recommend to flash a newer ROM, not the "original" Leo70 ROM from DFT. Most other "custom" ROMs come with Chevron cooked in.
Maybe you even opt for a "NoDo" ROM, from May/June, they are also completely "free"...
I hate to bother you all on here, it's been so long I forgot my old username! So, I have a developer account with Microsoft and they can't help me with this one. My phone was starting to act unstable and I flashed my ROM back to factory settings... the problem was that I forgot to switch DFRouter back to Zune mode. I changed the DIAG back by using the ##634# function and can connect and sync with Zune perfectly. When I try to use the Windows Phone Developer Registration app it is unable to recognize the device. The only info I was referred to by Microsoft to fix this issue was here: support.microsoftDOTcom/kb/2537993 . I have performed these steps numerous times and it doesn't work! Others who had unlock issues with the Arrive seem to have had luck with this. I have uninstalled both Zune and the SDK and reinstalled. I have even removed the phone from the AppHub site as a registered phone to avoid conflict. If anyone is able to help me on this one I will be eternally grateful!!!!!!!!!!
Still have not received the mango update. I've been searching and researching this issue for more than 4 months with no luck.
When connecting to zune, it says my phone is up to date with current software version: 7.0 (7392)
i have tried the "walshed" phone fix but that was not the issue.
also, the phone doesnt seem to have full functionality with WPDM and whenever i try and install a .xap file, the application wont launch after being installed on my phone.
the reason i am this desperate is because i want to back up all of my text messages on this phone. my mother passed away recently and it would means a great deal to me that i keep those conversations. if i am able to do this without installing mango, then that is fine by me.
my logic in installing mango is that all of the latest apps such as smsbackup require an unlocked mango device.
i have tried installing WP7 Root Tools so that smsbackup is able to operate on this lg device.
any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance

To backup all SMS and all messages in Messages tile, use SMSBackup. Then try to flash your phone with Telstra ROM, here is the guide.
Note #1: Your phone must be network unlocked first before flashing because you might not be able to enter unlock code once you flashed it to Telstra ROM. The only solution is re-flash to its original ROM then enter unlock code then flash it to Telstra ROM again. You can buy unlock in Ebay.com and price is as cheap as chip.
Note #2: The reason that I suggested Telstra ROM is because it is the only network that give the latest Mango update for LG Quantum, but no sign of Tango.
I changed my provider to Telstra Australia (from AT&T US) to force capture OEM updates, and was successful.

Now, my current OS Version is 7.10.8773.98. But I am encountering problems with this version.
My phone has become slow and is a bit lagging. The main problem is that, It has no connectivity problem, it turns to emergency calls only mode where there is less signal ; which didn't happen earlier.
Now, I want to revert back to the factory set version mode (apparently to which even AT&T has an update). Can you tell me how can I do it?
Or provide the thread links. I am not able to figure it out.
And I have reset my phone from setting and doing a hard reset.
The OS remains the same.
Flash a mango ROM from the carrier of your choice and you'll be back to 7720
Just Flash AT&T Mango ROM from the links of collection of all the stock ROM.
For how to flash use this forum

I'm also on telstra rom , I have faced no such issues. No lag. No connection issue.
Thanks guys.
Pranjal : I think, then the problem would have been in some tweak, made a bad registry change.
Just do a hard reset. DO a full unlock. Install Windows Phone 7 hack tools from bazaar
using xap installer, install some registry editor from bazaar itself and make a back up of registry!
search windows phone bazaar and you'll get all the software required to do this
1)Windows Phone Device manager
2) Root manager
3) Registry editor.

Thanks Pranjal
That's exactly what I did, and its working fine now.
Still, I'd try updating to 7.8 again and see if the same problem exists, if it does, i'll flash telstra rom and maybe get the updates then.
You are welcome to telstra rom, but I have not got the 7.8 update and i'm on telstra rom
People are saying that they have Tango update using telstra...but nothing happened in my case.
I would urge you to flash telstra, who knows may be I did something wrong?
I have tried everything...Debranding, Rebrading nothing seems to work. And no one uploads the package. You give it a try and let me know.

:highfive: sure man, ill give it a try. But later, after a week or so.
I know,there's many threads about rooting l7. I searched here (xda), on websites in my country and I don't know what is wrong. From few days I'm trying to root my phone with any possible method I found. I think I did everything! I had every single file needed to get root, drivers, I install them, uninstall and install again and go on and go on. Yesterday I got ROOT! Flashed one rom, then one more and something went wrong. Right now I don't have root access and I spent half a day to do it again - nothing worked. I'm not sure if I have branded software (there is no logo of operator anymore when phone is turning on), but I know I have the latest version of it (v20d if i'm not wrong). I can't install any other version now (kdz).
It's late, I'm tired and dissapointed. I had HTC Wildfire once, and rooting that was so easy. I don't know what to do, so please, help me. Had anyone the same problems? What you did to fix that and get root?
I don't have your device, but I think you should list here all the tools you tried so others will have a better chance to help you right.
Maybe I'll tell you that:
1. I found 2 programs which should automaticaly root my phone - both don't work for me, even if I unbranded my phone (if you know what I mean).
2. I tried with UpTestEX_mod2_marwin to install kdz file and only once it worked. Something went wrong later and I had to back to original soft, so I tried to root again. Right now it doesn't work. There is en error (4010 if I'm not wrong) every single time I tried. I install drivers, msxml, windows enabler. I uninstall all of that, switch off the computer and switch on and try again - doesn't work. I tried to install v10k_00, v10A_00, v10k, v20D_00_root, v20a, v20B_deodex, v20d_00 - that is all I remember right now. I tried to do that with phone in emergency mode and normally, with and without battery.
