Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

could you please post the files on other file host

if I went through this method would I also have root afterwards? or is that a separate process to be done first?

Nice one. Thank you 42turkeys. Worked like a charm on my Three UK Hero (other than the 170 and 171 error- but I did manage to sort it out...)
All perfect.

This is if you want to stay not rooted
If you do want to root then follow the link in my sig and you will have a 2.1 rom at the end of it.

Thanks 42turkeys. Am assuming then that it doesnt depend on build number.

Problem with this on Orange
Help! I tried this on an unrooted and unmolested Orange Hero, and when the SIM is in it now goes to a "SIM Network unlock PIN" screen.
If I remove the SIM, 2.1 seems to work fine (but just not as a phone!)

Can you boot up without a sim & quote the Baseband Version from Settings > About Phone > Software Info

i tried this and end up with USB connection problem with RUU i wonder is this applicable for CID locked HEROs. Any help is appreciated

thanks - small issue
Thanks for this, having a small issue that the main ruu wont download :-( is there an alternative source? Goldcarding instructions were great, seems to have worked perfectly though..
Cheers and thanks for the great work here

But only use it if you are having issues with File factory (i.e. you're at work )

many many thanks, been trying for over an hour with file factory, think its blocked through our work firewall for larger files - you've saved me a very stressful evening
Love this forum, saves me on a regular basis

Work firewalls are a pain
I had to fight a battle just to get eurodroid.com recategorized from 'Pornography' to 'Technology'!

Is this method likely to work on my T-Mob G2?
I wonder if anyone here has tried it.
Friend at work tried it on his Orange Hero and had the same problem as Possum.
Also, it looks increasingly likely that I'll have to send my phone off to T-Mobile for a repair - do you reckon they'd make a song and dance about the fact I had 2.1 installed?

1. Could your friend give me the baseband version?
2. It will work on your G2, it did for me
3. Just run a T-Mob RUU and send it off.

Help! ChevronWp7 !

Hi,
5 days ago i install wp7 and start trying to unlock phone with chevron. After many threads it work! but, unfortunetly, I accidentally re-lock it ;x After that, I try all solutions what I find at xda, nothing help me to run unlock correctly again ;x So, now im asking, im gonna hard reset my phone, and tell me what is the best to do that chevron will run without error ;P
Thanks for all help ;]
add:
- i have ms sdk
- have zune [not as guest]
- skype closed
- anti-virus and firewall off
- airplane mode [on & off trying]
- auto date off
- all .cer done
and as I say, error with connection is my nightmare ;x

Right,
Close Skype completly
Close Anti-Virus or just disable it
Put Chevron on Root of you partition C
Right Click it and Run as Admin
Check both boxes
Unlock it
If helped click thank button

Read this post as a guide: For those who can't unlock anymore using ChevronWP7, here's why!

I also try it and nothing ;x

chevron work around
Chevron didn't work for me until I changed both dates(phone + PC) to 10/1/11, and it worked, I take no credit just passing the info.

I try it already ;x nothing ;x

i think they removed the second thingy from their server... try to go to chevronwp7.com/cert and it goes 404... :S probably m$ took it down

me too, i,ve installed your certificate modified the registry an the results is the same of always, no unlock
Thx

Oh well, after hours of trying to unlock and hours to simply get any email account up and running again i finally reflashed magldr/wp7 (made task29 before).
It unlocked on the first try (again). It seems that windows phone reset doesnt really reset, does it? Because thats were the problems started for me...after the first reset. I didnt tried the magldr hardreset though.

That doesn't make a difference, you can install the cert manually by emailing it to yourself and opening the attachment.
See attachment..

okay finaly got it to work!!!
the problem is file that is missing on chevron's server. so what u need to do is follow "chevron isn't working and here's why" to edit hosts file on PC and install new certificate on phone. when ur done there, shut down computer, pull out internet cable (or turn off wifi before shutdown)
when you're back up, go to C: where your chevron should be and run as admin
works for me everytime now

Hi Direkts,
are you OK with the computer/Laptop windows Registry Editor?
IF so then go HKEY Local Machine/Software/Microsoft/WindowsPhone/ProxyPorts/ now scroll down until you see DeviceReg.
Now does the data numbers look like this: 0x000069c5(27077)
If not then it will have to be changed, then you chevron should work.
Russ

I have it changed 5 days ago, when i first time trying to unlock my phone ;x
I think that my only chance is task29 and reflash ;x But which metod i should try after reflash ? ;p

[Q] maximum apps?

Hey there,
I am from holland so excuse me if my English isn't proper.
Yesterday I 'updated' my phone with windows 7. And I started to connect the device with the pc (all going very well) to put some apps on it.
1) I can't use market place and I can't find something to use it in any other way. Zune says that it is impossible to connect from my location.
2) When I use deployment it now gives an error, 0x81030119, this meens that the maximum of apps is reached, and that I have to delete a few. How in hell is this possible, my sd card has 8GB, and when I connevt it says that I have 6 GB to use so where lies the problem?!?!?!
I hope someone can help me, cause I really like WP7 but if it has a maximum of apps I don't really know if I want to keep WP7.
So fingers crossed!! Please!!

first of all heloo and your english its proper
,and second to help you read all the discution on forum how to instal xap "aplication for wm7"
but most of all instal a weriosn whit chevron preinstaled or change the sd card .try whit one who is biger in capacity

that's right, i think that all you need is chevron unlocker.

You need to remove the side load limit, and you will then be able to download as much as you like.
Unzip the attachment, and use application deployment or Toms installer, and put into you mobile. In the menu you will now see (RemoveSideloadLimit). No touch that, and mow you will see (Set Max Sideload Apps. Touch that) Thats it go start downloading loads of apps.
Have a nice Day

Hey guys thnx a lot I am gonna try these things and will lett you know in a short matter of time, however I already have chevron unlocker (cause I have to use that everytim in order to deploy XAP files).
Another thing I don't understand is that I don't know how to put other files on my phone than xap files. Like the sense file for wm7. It is on this forum, and I downloaded it and all, but I don't know how to install it because it isn't a xap file. And the deployment is only for xapfiles.
Is there an answer to this question too?

Hey Chevron unlocker I already have, so that isn't the solution My sd card is good because he does find him. And says that I have enough storage to put files on my phone, and music and pictures is also not a problem to put on the phone.
Other solutions maybe?

I also have this problem, I have also instaled NoSideLoadLimit.zip and many apps... but I couldnt do the No-Relock things but coulds, so my phone got locked. unlocked again but now I cant load any apps, even if I uninstall almos all, always Error - 0x81030111

I only get the error that my memory is full. When I uninstall one file, I can put a nother one back on the phone, but after that the same message appears.
So I can only put like 10 apps on my phone....

Kind same problem
I got a nokia lumia 800 and is unlocked with chevon.

old topic... off topic.... this is HTC HD2 forum, not Nokia...

[Q] unlock problem

I know this has been covered loads, but im not exactly a computer genius but ive been at this for 4 hours now and its getting annoying...
ive installed the LEO70 rom on my HD2 installed chevron and Tom XAP installer and dev. tool kit etc following all the guides i could find...
Now when i go to unlock it in chevron it only gives the option to re-lock so i assume its already unlocked (ive tried re-locking it and un-locking again which failed so i re flashed...thank god for hspl and magloader....)
the problem is when i try to install any of the XAP stuff the tom XAP installer says:-
error connection: make sure phone is unlocked
and make sure usb is connected and zune is connected
yes yes and yes.....
im now super confused and wondering why i bothered lol,
im running XP by the way and havent been able to get an activation code yet....
Am i being stupid or have i done something obviously wrong??
again sorry for posting about a well covered subject but i still cannot find an answer to my problem
thanks for any help

Just to add, now the thing keeps resetting itself hard reset style lost all my contacts etc time and date etc ,
Could it be a duff rom causing all this?

well the resetting is a common SD issue, your card isnt compatible
as for XAPs, i dont use that, i use the appliaction deployer with the development tools, however i do know that if i try and do it without admin mode it will not work
course, your still using XP as well which complicates things a bit and again its not something i use any more so i cant be of any more help im affraid.
your SD issue tho is fixable, you could try formatting the card first in a digital camera or you will need to get a new card.
Go for a class 2 or 4 card, ignore any threads saying "this card works" yes it works for them but perhaps not for you, its very much down to luck

Thanks for the advice bud, I've popped the sd card out and it seems to be more stable bow but my main problem is the unlocking, is there any alternative software to unlock? And what developer loading thing do you use if not Tom xap loader ( I'm having trouble finding alternatives to try

Did you get the windows phone developer tools installed?, i think your post said you did, in your start menu you will find a menu for Windows Phone developer Tools, in there you will see an application deployment program
I use that but i have to run it in Admin mode, once its started it allows you to install an XAP to a emulator or a device, select a device (make sure its connected to zune) and locate the XAP.
ive never used that tom installer thing so cant really help you much with that.
as for the SD thing, without an SD it will lag quite a bit, buy what you can afford and dont buy something you wouldnt mind turning in to a tiny wee paper weight, ie dont go folk out for 32GB card when it might not work, 8 seems to be a good size to price card, again stick to a class 2 or 4
oh i forgot to ask, did you use one of the pre-unlocked ROMs out there or did you use the original DFT one?

got the dev tools yes, didnt know where it went though or what it did lol....
i tried it withouth the SD and it still changed the time and stuff all by itself (assuming it crashed in my pocket)
the rom i used is called HD2O_1.04_DFT_LEO70_RELEASE, i dont know how to tell if they were pre unlocked etc (i did look but couldnt see anything) is there any rom you would recommend?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944995
try that one, i dont normally suggest modded ROMs the DFT one is fine, but if someone is having issues with unlocking then they are much easier to get working

right i got another ROM from the development section (ill try that one next if i have problems) loaded that up got it all working with the missus laptop (windows 7 instead of xp) got all my contacts on there and even got the activation code through microsoft support chat.... runs smooth etc now i just need a new sd card (its crashed once already and im running an old 2gb card)
the thing that does my head in with the crashing is that it sets the clock to 00:00 and the date to 1980!!! gotta get a new card soon as i use my phone as my alarm to get up for work... doh....
Thanks for the support though bud, much appreciated,
one last thing, when i get the new card i take it i cant just take one out and put the other in as if i boot without my sd card the phone has no settings or contacts etc..... do you have to copy the card info accross or something??

technically its possible to use a partitioning program to clone the old SD card to the new one, ive not tried it, i think for the sake of simplicity, i would just reinstall it, you will lose you programs and SMS messages, paid for programs are still paid for, but you will need to locate them of the marketplace again.

chevronWP7.cer e-mail problem

Hey,
i have a problem to open the certificat.
I send the certificat to my e-mail but i can´t open it on my phone -.-
any idea ?

Yeah use gmail if possible and or switch browser version settings to desktop insted of moble version in settings.

i tried it but i get always a white window with the massage:
this data can´t be downloaded!
this typ of data is not supportet by windows phone.
maybe somebody another idea ?

Stop messing about with Chevron. Update to Back to the Future ROM.

exactly... use BTTF ROM, upgrade to Mango... do hard reset after that or if you want keep data on your phone, use cab files for unlock (if have problems with deploying xaps)...
if you have already BTTF ROM, use same advice...
