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??

thanks man , im sooo happy with my new Hd2 (windows phone ) live services works now ( include the market) thanks a lot and sorry for my english
This procedure works on HD2 Mango and upgraded to terminal blocked, I tested it myself on my HD2 and it works!!!!
1. Download WP7 Update Cab Sender
2. Download DEV_UNLOCK.cab
3. Extract WP7 Update Cab Sender, goto “if needed install this tool”, install Setup-UpdateWP-x86 or Setup-UpdateWP-x64.
4. Copy DEV_UNLOCK.Cab into “WP7-Update-Cab-Sender” folder.
5. Launch WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat and choose S to send this package to device.
6. Let the HD2 reboot.
7. Your HD2 is now unlocked and you can sideload any apps in xap format into your HD2 Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.
8. Enjoy.

What do you mean with "you can sideload any apps in xap format into your HD2 Windows Phone 7.5 Mango"? Suppose I have a xap, how could upload it to my phone and install it? Via Update cab sender method?
Thanks

No, to install any xap, there are several ways I use the Phone application deployment in the Windows SDK 7.1, but in order to install any xap, you must first unlock the terminal, otherwise it will not allow you to install anything.
To unlock it you must follow the procedures that I described above and use the WP7 Cab sender.
I have some concerns about this.
The ROM should already be dev_unlocked.
Some people have experienced problems, especially with installing Xaps using Toms where the error comes up "either your phone is unlocked or zune isn't running", and because zune is running they assume they have become unlocked.
XBmod said that if the phone becomes locked, send dev_unlock_remove.cab, then send dev_unlock.cab. Which should work whether the phone is locked or not.
There are many reasons why Tom xap installer may not work, no Net framework 4, no SDK, zune still synching, not run as admin etc. and as you say, other xap installers are available.
I wonder how many people using this method to unlock will get the "no applicable package" error after sending the unlock.cab, meaning it is already unlocked.
I appreciate the input here, but isn't this already known?
This has been mentioned several times already in different topics.
Or am I missing something here?

You may well be right, and zune upgrading to mango does remove the dev_unlock cab. But how did you know it was locked? Did you hard reset after the upgrade to activate the unlock?

simple, I tried to run "touchExplorer" or "Registry Editor" and in both cases appeared to be a post where I was told that Microsoft had withdrawn the application .... also trying to deploiare xap I was told it was not possible.
Hard reset after upgrade?

because if you had of read the instructions you would have seen that it is required to hard reset the device after installing mango to activate the unlock...
your procedure above is not needed at all...
RTFM as they say

Do a hard reset and try again.
Sometimes I get also this message "either your phone is unlocked or zune isn't running" when I try to install xaps via Toms Xap Installer. But this doesnt mean your device is locked again. Just try it again or often the app has been installed but you get this error message. So you just have to ignore it.
cant $¥)&#%* unlock.....
I have tryed all solution .....fresh mango install, sent dev_unlock....nothing
Fresh install,sent dev_unlock, hard reset....nothing
Fresh install,sent dev_unlock_remove, hard reset, sent dev_unlock, hard reset, nothing....

Oh, yes i tryed alot of xap deployer software....no luck!!!

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

I had the same problem, but then I used the wp7 update cab sender and dev_unlock.cab which worked

Alright i've checkron chevrons website and the tokens ($9) aren't for sale right now, but thanks everyone.
how to
since it took some time for me to find out how to side load apps in WP7.5, I'll explain it to other noobs:
You need to install Zune, the .NET 4.0 Framework and Windows Phone SDK 7.1. Then install Phone7Market (you can find it here). It comes with the Phone7Market itself, from which you can download your .xap files and with the Phone7Deployer. Connect your HD2 via Zune, create a desktop shortcut for the Phone7Deployer, get your xap file you want to deploy (i.e. from the Phone7Market) and drag&drop it on your desktop shortcut. It won't harm to check the two boxes (remove drm and the other one). A few seconds later, you should find your app/game on your device.
btw, this is FREE, so you don't need to pay 9 bucks for chevron.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't help you with that since I don't have this error. The only two things that come to my mind: You need Windows Vista or 7 for the SDK and you should try a hard reset on your device (backup your data before of course).

Now my phone was on mango and unlocked before. But due to some reason I had to format and restore my phone..
Following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106
Now I am on version 7008 . I have installed the ChevronWP7.cer via email.
I have checked tcpview and no HTTPS port is open
Zune is running and the reg has been edited by running ChevronWP7.reg
When I try to run ChevronWP7.exe, and click unlock.. Always says
"Sorry I am having trouble communicating with the phone"
- Please make sure its connected using USB -- YES it is
- Please start the Zune application -- YES it is running
Plz help.. any ideas??
Or can I update to mango and try another unlock.. I did try

I doubt that. You're not connected to internet while trying this, are you?
I just tested using my 1.3 Focus: you need Zune 4.7 AND internet connection. Otherwise, Chevron fails (can't connect to the phone error).
