For all of you trying to instal WP7 and getting stuck at the dreaded chevron unlocker "Uh-OH" that will not let you pass, look no further. There are a lots of ifs and buts but no definite answer to it. Below method worked 100%.
I tried it multiple times. I in no way encourage you to use WP7 and unlocking procedures but heres simply what you do if you want to do
Instal Zune
Connect WP7-HD2
Click on the sync relationship below the picture of your LEO70
key in any name...i used HD7
Once connected, create a zune id...You can use your windows live id though
Goto settings ---date and time and uncheck automatic date VERY IMPORTANT
sync your phone...Check if port 443 is free that means no SKYPE or anything. Instal registry key in windows
Put chevron installer on root of C
Stop any antivirus & anti spyware IMPORTANT
Run chevron with administrative controls
Make sure before running chevron that Wp7 is Screen on and not keypad locked. Make sure the white screen on zune is there clearly showing your phone model and name that you made.
I do NOT have the developers kit or tools installed.
I am on windows 7 64 bit
So this kills all speculations.
Hope you guys can get it to work.
I needed to disable my web proxy (Privoxy, in my case) for ChevronWP7 to work.
Note that you may need to reboot for proxy changes to be picked up by the Zune *service* (not the app).
also i had to close the SKYPE, however it sounds
can u make a video ?
i was traying last 2 day to sync my hd2 (w7) to my pc (windows 7) with zune software but nothing works
I have got WinXP SP3 and it's not working on that ever after using your method.
DID you disable the auto time settings?
did you add the registry key?
Mind restarting the phone and the PC?

Ok..some noob questions because every day i see new things here and to much info just confuse me... This guide will help me unlock (jailbreak) my phone without Activation from Microsoft?????
Or do i need to follow these instructions first following by the MS Activation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912218
Also...My only care is to sync Music and images on my WP7 HD2.. I don't need games and such! What do i need to do?? I am downloading zune right now...After that?????
There doesn't seem to be a cure-all for this issue.
I was able to get mine successfully unlocked yesterday almost by chance.
I had to keep going into Command Prompt (administrator mode), keying in c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc, and then executing "notepad hosts" and deleting the host file that the phone kept creating everytime I ran Chevron.
I also had my phone in airplane mode.
Today, I decided to blow up the phone with Task29 and reflash WP7 to see if it helped my battery performance. Much to my chagrin, I was unable to duplicate whatever worked for me yesterday.
I'm back on Android until this is fixed with a known, proven solution for multiple users.

how did you install the windows phone drivers because when I plug my phone on my computer ( windows Vista 32bit) it just say it just say installing that's it. Also i can't see the phone in Zune no matter what USB port i use or computer. Help would be greatly appreciated.
So to get this straight...to sync my images,music (ONLY!!!) I have to Activate my Phone with Microsoft??

PS. tried it with vista,but the same problem
Hi!
I have not a common problem. I upload only 3 applications for my HTC HD2, but when I send something else by the XAP instaler pops up the following error:
Connection Error
-Please Make sure your phone was unlocked!
-Please Make sure you connected device is a PC and the Zune launched
Try again?
The phone is unlocked and of course, synchronized with the Zune.
Please help me.
You need WP7 developer tools installed on your pc as well to run xap installer properly. Or maybe there's an issue with the max number of assigned apps, edit the registry like this: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
"MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff
(I have attached the regeditor for you)
hey,
i gave my HD2 a really hot update with WP7...
everything works fine. All Zune updates instead of one " ISV Mango clean up " ...
But since yesterday my zune cannot connect to my phone.
The error message is " Connection problems " !!!
I delete the certificates from zune... disconnect, reconnect, restart, delete the phone from zune. reinstalled zune... Delete HD7 phone from Windows-Devices
Installed a completly new zune on a different machine. The same problem!!!
tried microsoft fixit... Nothing works :/
has anybody the same problem or an idea ???
By the way... The WP7 is loading on USB...and the OS ( Win7 ) is finding it... Only zune cant connect ... :/

Yeah my problems are similar to that, for a while i couldn't get a connection so i started from scratch and now i have the mango clean up bundle. heres the kick, all works fine except web services and Bing. But when its connected to the computer my internet and all things using web services works fine. Oh and with Zune being updated what I did was update from a laptop to desktop until i got mango working right(Thanks Starbucks WiFi So maybe when you deleted zune certificates there were some lingering.
hey scortareo,
sorry but
what did you mean with, you started scratch ???
I mean I went all the way back down to Windows 6.5, had the sd card issues solved that by reflashing xmod v1 and the original leo70, messed around and took the sim card out and had that lock on me.so from scratch i mean like it was my first time ever flashing my HD2. Still cant figure out why im only able to use web services while the phone is connected to the computer.

This is reverse tethering, your phone is using your computer's data connection.
have you tried
1. switching wifi on in settings(sorry)
2. switching data on in settings/ mobile network
3. install DEV_WIFI_PLUS_EU.cab or
DEV_WIFI_PLUS_US.cab
(best wifi & bluetooth fix)
EU & US are related to your wifi router settings(channel,ect) not the Country where you live
Hope this helps
Hard Reset solved the problem with connections problems to zune.....
Did all of that and nothing works aside from being connected to the computer, plus I have the Walmart Family Mobile network so when ever i try to run connection setup it say's network carrier doesn't exist in database......i wonder if using the activation code from the first time I tried WP7 has a affect also, like for mango I would need to get a different one. SMH!
