[Q] Will not unlock anymore using ChevronWp7

I have done a lot of reading and research and non of them worked for me or there could be sth I dun understand.
I have installed the certificate, make sure only wifi is on, then plugin the phone and wait for zune to pop up. Than run ChevronWP7. When I click unlock, it does not unlock the phone.
Also, all the sideloaded apps including XBMODDeployer.xap and TouchXplorer.xap is not working. I'm receiving a message that it got revoked and wants me to uninstall the app.
Will not consider hard reset unless that's the last option.
Please help out! Thanks

Many Microsoft Apps kill the Chevron Unlock, but it should be no problem to unlock the device again.
Also I had spend 8 hours in trying to unlock WP7, until i found out, that Skype block the Chevron tool.

Install the certificate and connect the phone with zune when Wifi is OFF! Then unlock your phone. I would say it would be better to unlock the phone only to deploy the config file and change the phone information to hd7. Because everytime you connect to zune it relocks again.

Thanks for all the reply. However I still have not find the reason why my phone cannot be unlocked. I do not have skype installed, but I will try uninstalling other apps and see what I can get.
SOrry I didn't make it clear earlier. When I said wifi on, I mean wifi on only for laptop, not the HD2.
I'm also wondering, from the tutorial I've read. In order to sideload app I need to have Zune running. Is there a way to sideload app another way?

Not anymore, you can do an easy fix (with out reg edits, or install adv config and edit reg) See top of forum page

Have a look at the sticky thread, honestly all the unlock info is there. If you follow the good guides there EXACTLY, you will not have a problem. Dont rush it bro and all will be well.

live services activation (stupid noob question)

I have an activation key but do i need to do the whole chevron thing just to get live services or is that just to sideload non marketplace apps? Im trying to avoid having to install the developer kit because i dont have a spare 3gb!

Your best bet is to use a ROM with Chevron unlocked and then you don't need to install the developer kits or zune on your pc

Just flash a custom WP7 rom with chevron already cooked in, so you don't have to deal with chevron (alot of people report problems)
Then just open marketplace, it should ask for your live or hotmail account. Log in and a window will prompt you to input your activation key.
Voila!
You can also side load apps with Tom's XAP.

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated.

In order to see the marketplace you have to have your phone recognize it as a hd7,then use the code without the phone seeing itself as hd7 marketplace won't work, you won't be able to see it.

If I'm not mistaken, the custom/pre-unlocked WP7 ROMs that are out there already have the registry changes needed for the phone to identify itself as a HD7. Still, OP should check the release thread/post to make sure.

The new custom, Football and Moonlight roms have been giving me some problems, so i flashed the DFT ROM and everyhting is fine. Downloaded the Dev tools, install Chevron Cert, Run Chevron unlock, run TomXapInstaller, install the apps and copy/paste the file. Easy and no problems so far. No need for regedits if you have an Activation Key, which is easy to get in the UK. Follow this thread for easy use:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106.
Nice DFT and all other Devs who have created this.

NoDo. Want to get it right now? [Not tested with HD2 yet]

So NoDo was finally released this morning.
Well, for the EU people anyway (don’t get me started).
Windows Phone 7, by default, stores your operator identifier in a sneaky registry key, which is checked by the Windows Update Client running on the phone. This identifier is then used to check if the updates have been approved for your operator. If they are slow, like Telstra here is in Australia, you’re going to be waiting a long time.
So, let’s tell you how you can “un-brand” (this won’t remove the boot splash screen) your phone so it appears to be a generic handset to the Update Servers.
Your device needs to be dev-unlocked for this to work. Sorry folks.
1. Download this zip file and deploy the 3 xap files onto your device.
2. Run the ChevronWP7.Ringtones.xap and wait till it displays “Ringtones added… and CustClear.provxml underneath”
3. Run the TouchXplorer app, navigate to My DocumentsMy Ringtones click on CustClear.provxml and select Copy from the Application Bar.
4. Navigate back inside TouchXplorer to the Windows folder.
5. Select paste from the Application Bar, this should scroll right to the bottom and put a copy of CustClear.provxml in the Windows folder.
6. Now run the Connection Setup application and click on the Ok button (it’s the one with the tick).
And now you’re done and free to re-connect to Zune and check for updates.
Again, this is ONLY for HTC devices.

Hi guys! I didn't test this method for HD2 yet cause I still on Android. Try it out.

Has this been cooked for the HD2 already? I'll give it a try as long as I know it won't brick my HD2

IT ONLY SHOWS PHONE UPDATE FEB 2011
any idea why i am not able to see nodo update

There is another thread about this already in Q&A and General. It seems as though this method is for native WP7 devices to work around zonal or carrier based restrictions.
It has been tried on an HD2 in the other thread and the same registry issues that affected the February update prevail. This does not appear to be a solution for HD2 owners.

just tried out and still having the error happening same error

Do you have an 7008 already? Is your HD2 identifies like hd7?

Yeah, this tread can be deleted, seems to be not working for hd2 in any way.

i have big problem my phone is locked ... and i cant unlock it since they disconnected the unlock tool what should i do guys

okay okay i fixed the unlock thing and everything and did this but this didn't work out on hd2 .. ill try more and let ya know guys

Yea, just playing around, problem is in registry.

hello,
do you know if it works on HD2 ? if I try, will I keep everything (sms, apps, ...) ?
thanks !

This does not work, it has been said hundreds times

Has everybody been taking crack lately?
How do you expect to be able to do a official update to NoDo when our roms are modded to work on the HD2, its not a native rom so even if you could get it to update through official channel it would very likely break the installation anyway.
Use some common sense guys have some patience and wait for the update to be cooked into HD2 rom.

[Q] Chevron unlock/Marketplace on "Back to Future" Mango ROM

Hi
I have update my HD2 with the XBmod-Yuki "Back to future" ROM.
I am trying to Sideload some apps, but it doesn't work.
I have ran the DEV_UNLOCK.cab and restartet the phone, but Toms XAP installer still fails.
I have read that it might fail, but still install, but there are no apps on my phone.
But what I want is to change the model of the phone to HD7 so I can get marketplace working, but can't seam to find any guide on how to devunlock the phone or get marketplace working on this rom, anyone who can help?
Regards Lars Mortensen

have you done hard reset after instaling? sideloading requiers it.. (settinsgs/about/reset)
Tom's XAP will report that it has failed, but it works. You have to have Zune running and you have to be on first or app screen. Not on lock screen.

Hi
Thank you for the quick help, it was the Hardreset I had missed.
[EDIT] Tom XAP Installer actually does not fail now with the 4 XAP files I have tried [/EDIT]
/Lars

Doh... I needed to hardreset trice before it worked, was close to ripping the (very little) hair I have left...
Thanks!

Market works fine with the phone recognised as HD2 for me... no need to change to HD7.

does this mean I have to get a new activation key (for hd2) when I install this rom? I got one with a DFT derived 7392 rom recognised as an hd7.

It may be worth changing it to HD7 as MS are possibly snooping.

this error comes if your wp7 isnt unlocked anymore.
you must chevron unlock it again then you can start the apps without an error
