Hello Guys,
I recently bought an unlocked Dell VP from ebay, I'm located in Mexico, I'm using with TELCEL company... it works good with any company SIM.
I tried to use some applications found in google, XPA, but i have not found a way to install them... obviously i have read so many tutorials in here and all,
things i have done,
installed WP7 SDK
installed latest Zune
installed ChevronWP7 cert (pc and phone)
registry was checked for mod in Proxy Ports to 06c95 or something like that..
the files in ../system32/etc are "read and write" mode
ChevronWP7 stop to work when those files are in read only mode... another problem i had, lol
i have also tried with the certificate posted for somebody else which have 1000 days of validation, it mod everything to ****.unlock.me in hosts file.... i also installed this certificates in PC,, nothing...
so, when i open Zune in background and run (as admin) ChevronWP7 it prompt a window to put 2 checks, i do it, then When i press Unlock button it say, cannot connect with device, or Zune is not running....obviously it is, nothing
when phone is in "sleep mode" and i run ChevronWP7 it say my phone is PIN locked, of course it's not, i have unlocked the PIN code from SIM, so, nothing
i still cant find the way to install apps using Tom XAP Installer 1.2, is there some steps which im doing wrong? probably i because i have the latest windows phone 7 updates in phone?
os 7.0.7392.0
firmware is 2250.1800.7355.205
hardware 112.576.2.0
radio software 2.2.50.18
radio hardware 8250
bootloader 7.27.1.0
chip soc 0.36.2.0
hacks only work in HTC phones?
any ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks
Chevron don't work on build 7392, that installed on your phone.
Not possible yet to install user XAP on your DVP, only buy throught Marketplace.
Unless you a become official app developer for money...
I have unlocked samsung focus...I want to update to Mango and reserve my unlock but have no idea how to do it...I am new to Windows phone so please point me to the right direction here is the phone information
OS version: 7.0.7004.0
Firmware revision number: 2103.10.10.1
Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.7
Radio software version: 2103.10.10.1
radio hardware version: 0.0.0.3
Bootloader version: 4.10.0.1
Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0
any help would be appreciated...
If your Focus is rev 1.3 and you have your device unlocked then:
1.Download and deploy Samsung root tools from here, open it on the phone, check Remove Sideload limit, Prevent Device Relocking, press apply then reboot.
2.Download WP7 Root Tools from here and New SMS Unlock.xap from here, deploy both.
3.Open WP7 Root Tools go to explorer section, then create a new folder and name it provxml, then go to Applications>Install>D19A80F2-1717-...........>Install then copy unlock.xml from there and past it in the provxml folder you created earlier.
4. Open Zune check for updates and update to 7008.
5. Start Zune
6. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone
7. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)
8. Start the update search in Zune
9. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).
10. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.
11. Connect to the internet again and install the update.
12 Do the same as 5-11 to update to build 7403
13. Zune will automatically find Mango update, update it to mango.
14. If you have diagnosis application installed then uninstall it, open phone and dial ##634#, diagnosis will open, then dial *#9908#, GPRS Manager will open, select unlock, then press save, wait 3 sec. then close it.
Now you have unlocked Mango on focus.

The rev version is written under the battery of the phone.
If you have your device developer unlocked by Chevron Unlocker, to install .xap file you will need WP7 SDK, download and install it to your pc, after that there will be Application Deployment tool, you can use that to deploy(install) applications to your phone.
I Flashed back to RTM and chevron unlocked,then proceded to update
Comfirmed working on Omnia 7

Once your device is sim unlocked, you can do whatever you want, it won't be locked back.
Hi guys, how can i jailbreak my Omnia 7 with this version: 7.0.7004.0 ???
I've tried the download mode by flashing the phone and all the other steps, but nothing ... Chevron failed!
dont you have a skype running? or wampp, xampp or any other soft running on https port? shut it down and try again
No soft running on https port. I run tcpview and control Local port. No stripes named https. Yesterday I upgraded to Mango. Previous version was unwatchable!
chevron unlock is not working on nodo or mango, you have to downgrade
i submit my position at dreamspark as a student and i'm waiting for subscribe in APP HUB to obtain a regular device unlock as a developer. Is it a good idea?

yes from 7.0.7004.0 you can chevron unlock! 7.0.7004 is´t NODO
1. download and install Windows Phone Developer tools on vista or windows 7 PC
2. Do u have Skype or any other app like that running on ur machine?
If so then u need to full close out of those apps. Make sure there process's are not still active. U can do so through task manager
Settings ZUNE
3. In Zune when ur phone connects does it say ur name or guest?
If guest then u need to hit the button below the phone image to set up ur phone to be the main user.
4. Did u sign into Zune? If no then sign in.
5. go with internet browser to cr-developers.co.cc/cwp7.cer and install. the chevron cert.
6. plug in phone and leave zune running (read Settings ZUNE)
7. run chevronwp7.exe (as administrator) , click both checkboxes
8. click unlock

o.k. ....can you please explain how- it will be helpfull for us other ...
Feb 2012: This guide is somewhat obsolete now, because of WindowsBreak project. A simpler unlock guide is in posted here and a complete unlock + Internet Sharing guide is here.
I did this guide as I didn't find a complete noob guide, up to date and with all links in one place.
Noob friendly unlock and update to Mango (keeping Chevron unlock) how-to
Prequisites and must read/understand before proceeding:
Zune 4.7 might be needed, I'm not sure 4.8 works. Uninstall 4.8 and install 4.7 if unsure (and don't update it).
Micro SD card: If you want to install a micro SD card, you have to do it before step 2 (recommended after flashing 7004 - step 1). Also recommended to format the card beforehand with FAT32 (32K or 64K clusters). Then hard reset the phone from Settings/About/"Reset your phone" or the 3 buttons combo (see Focus wiki). When a new micro SD card is added, the phone requests a hardware reset to recognize it and properly work.
Flashing: doesn't affect in any way phone's functioning as long as it's not interrupted in mid process or the phone doesn't have a hardware fault. Recommended to flash the phone on a laptop or a PC+UPS. You can backup your current firmware so you can restore if needed. Flashing, downgrading, upgrading firmware etc does not affect Network Unlock. Once your phone is unlocked to any network, it will remain so, regardless of flashing firmware.
Remember, if you hard reset (in Mango - or any WP7 OS version), you will lose Chevron unlock (ability to deploy XAPs) and to get it again you will have to re-do all the unlock process above.
You can use hard reset to revert to "factory" settings
Optional: To deploy XAPs, Windows Phone Developer Tools is no longer a requirement (about 3 GB). W.I.N.C.O.'s mini SDK WP7 is a smaller solution (4 mb instead of 3 GB - see point 3 below.)
0. (optional) Backup your current firmware, PC program and steps read here.
1. Flash AT&T or Rogers ROMs (7004) from this thread (note: 1st post links no longer valid, new links here)
Personally I recommend Rogers, as it's cleaner: doesn't have the AT&T apps & customization/logo etc. If you're unsure how to do ROM flashing, read my post here (I referenced AT&T "Cetus" ROM there, so replace "Cetus_ATT" with "Rogers").
1b. (optional) Add the micro SD card and do a hard reset (Settings/About, press "Reset your phone"). For compatibility, read this thread or the Focus wiki.
2. Unlock with Chevron, program, steps and video tutorial here
2b. Please note: the Chevron certificate has expired on 25 November 2011. To still be able to use it do this: mail the certificate to yourself. Open it on the mail in the phone, click on the certificate and when the "shield" appears, close it, don't install it. This just insures that the certificate has been downloaded to the phone, so you won't need internet connection to install it later. Now, disconnect the PC from internet, and set the date on PC prior to 25 Nov 2011. Then, set the same date on the phone and put the phone in Airplane mode. Then, install the Chevron certificate. After this, reconnect the PC to Internet and use Chevron to unlock.
3. To deploy (install) XAPs, download and install W.I.N.C.O.'s mini SDK WP7 and then wXapAssistant
3b. Optional/alternate method of 3): if you already installed Windows Phone SDK, you can use Phone7Market on PC from here to deploy XAPs. Once installed, in the folder you have "wp7-deploy.exe" which you can use to deploy/install XAPs, ie wp7-deploy.exe full_path_to_XAP\XAP.XAP, as in:
wp7-deploy.exe C:\WP7\New_SMS_Unlock.xap
4. Immediately after unlocking, install and run Samsung Tools from here, to prevent relock
Check all checkboxes and reset.
4b. (optional) In Dialer, dial ##634# , this should open Diagnosis v929 (just for checking)
5. Install WP7 Root Tools from here
6. Deploy New_SMS_Unlock.xap from here
7. Run WP7 Root Tools on the phone, and in Explorer tab, create a folder "provxml" in the root directory. Now go inside "Applications" subfolder, then inside "Install" subfolder and locate folder "D19A....". Inside, find the "unlock.xml" file. Tap and hold and press "Copy". Then navigate back to "provxml" folder you created, go inside and press "Paste", and see if you have the "unlock.xml" file in it.
Please note: you won't be able to see the "unlock" option in Diagnosis by typing *#9908# until Mango (Rogers) or NoDo/Mango (AT&T).
8. Connect the phone in Zune and update the phone all the way to Mango (7720/7740/later). Keep in mind that if you do this with Zune 4.7 you will have to update to Zune 4.8 now to be able to sync. That's ok.
9. In Mango, uninstall Diagnosis app (if you installed it).
10. Open Diagnosis again by typing ##634# in Dialer. When in Diagnosis type *#9908# . Select "unlock" (should be the last item) and press "Save". It should say "Loading GPRS..."and you can exit Diagnosis.
10.b (optional) If you want to be extra sure, you can re-do step 4 again for good measure.
Congratulations, you are now unlocked in Mango!
Important:
In case something happens and your phone gets re-locked, just run only step 10+10b and you will be unlocked again.
Optionally, you can do Interop unlock, read here. Alternatively, you can enable Internet Sharing+Interop unlock (2 in 1, in the file "DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap") from here (run "DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap", go to "iso store" tab, press and hold "Interop Unlock" then press and hold "Internet Sharing"). You will also need to deploy a fix for the 3G: "Samsung Repair 3G by Heathcliff74.xap" from here if you do Internet Sharing.
This has been tested to work on AT&T and Rogers Focus with hardware revision 1.3, might work in 1.4.
To check what hardware revision you have, either look under the battery or check my post/thread here.
Don't forget to press Thanks on the original tool/thread poster!
Thank you very much. I was looking for exactly such post/article. I have Zune 4.8 already installed. Can I go ahead with it?

Sure, please try. No worries, if it doesn't work, just uninstall it and install 4.7
I have reached till step 7. I have now copied "unlock.xml" to a new folder "provxml" in root folder.
Before proceeding further, I want to confirm one thing. I did *#9908# while still at 7004 in diagnostic app. I do not see unlock option. Is this normal? Is it only visible once I am at Mango?
If yes, then I can upgrade to Mango without any worry.

Yes, it's normal. Diagnosis doesn't support the unlock until Mango. Will add this info to the guide too. Thanks for testing!
Thanks again. I will go ahead and let know the result for others. Hope it finishes without any issues

Chevron is quite an iffy program, please make sure you respect the steps there exactly and also check the video tutorial. Also, best way to achieve that is to close all programs running and re-try unlocking. Skype for example interferes with the unlock process.

Have followed all the steps including changing the date and all.. I have done it before with success. Had to hard reset the phone, hence trying to unlock again. Will try rebooting the system and have a go at it again..

I also had a problem Saturday when I updated my SD from 16 GB to a 32 GB one. Initially Chevron didn't work, it worked after I connected the laptop to internet and restarted Zune. Also, make sure the date is prior to 25 November (try 1 Oct 2011, that worked for me) on both devices.

Got it... Need to be connected to the internet.. Thanks a lot for the help!!
I have finished updating to Mango and I was able to unlock Focus. So I can confirm that all works even if Zune 4.8 is used for each step. Yahoo!!
I haven't done Interop-unlock yet, I will do it soon. But that also should work without any issues.
Edit: Does the limit remains unlimited for applications? And is there any additional step(s) required to keep it unlocked similar to the one which was done by running Samsung tools?
thank you for the thread EnderPsp...this is what i was looking for...
i think i dont need to do the 1st step as i am already on 7004 and just got the phone from ATT.
I installed zune 4.8, installed developer sdk from MS, installed the certificate in phone by changing the dates. Now when i connect the phone to pc, and run chevron in admin mode with the phone on home screen and zune running, it opens up, i check the 2 boxed and then it says problem communicating with the device - make sure you are connected via USB, etc etc...i guess this is a common problem but i am unable to find any solution...i tried many times but it shows the same error...
Your help highly appreciated..

Try this:
- install the Samsung drivers from here
- set the date to 1 Oct 2011 and disconnect the PC from internet
- set the same date on the phone and do a hard reset. Re-enter your live id and e-mail (to where you sent the Chevron certificate) and install the certificate, then set the phone to Airplane mode
- reboot and once windows loads don't open any program, and close the ones automatically started (YM, Skype etc)
- connect PC to internet, start Zune and try to unlock in Chevron
Let me know if that works for you. Keep in mind that on a 64 bit OS it might be harder to unlock.

Either of these
- this method
- the developer unlock for $99 or whatever it is these days
- Chevron labs token for $9, but that's not always working (depending on the phone and revision...)
You can always backup first and try this. Worst case scenario you'll revert back.

This guide allows you to unlock, IF you flash. If you are in Mango you can't unlock using this guide unless you do the flash downgrade, but the other 2 methods should work.
You backup from the tool specified in the link and you restore using Zune, as the backup is created to be accessed and used by Zune.
currently flashing 7004 rom from the given link...will post with updates..
im done...now on mango and able to deploy xap's....is there any limit for the number of xap's i can install ?
Thank you
First of all, sorry if there's already threads explaining this, I couldn't find them.
I just updated my Samsung Focus to 7.8 using the SevenEighter, was so easy, just a click and it made all the 5 updates automatically to my phone, amazing :laugh:
Now the problem is, I lost my "jailbreak" or unlock, I dont how it's correctly called in WP. I suddenly got my unlocked apps revoked with little messages that appeared saying so. Is there any way to keep having the unlock in WP 7.8?
Thanks!

You should be able to simply redo the unlock. I followed the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
In brief
1. Install Windows Phone SDK (I updated it to support WP7.8) - note that this is a big file from Microsoft
2. Download Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap
3. Connect phone and start Zune. Use the Deployment Tool from the SDK (mine is located in Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\XAP Deployment) to deploy the interop to your phone
4. Disconnect phone and start the unlock
5. Once successfully unlocked, use the Samsung Network Profile app to ensure everything works (e.g. MMS, data, etc)
