Both option work.
remove ip it's exactly the same result

If you set it to nothing or 127.0.0.1 (meaning the phone itself), ChevronWP7 will not unlock your phone again until you reset your phone. This is because ChevronWP7 is spoofing developerservices.windowsphone.com.

What ChevronWP7 does is run a secure http webserver on 443 to handle and send a response from the phone to query, hey should I be unlocked. The address of developerservices.windowsphone.com is spoofed on the local computer in the host. file to redirect it to ChevronWP7's webserver.

My recommendation is to change the urls to like developerservices.unlock.me which doesn't exist like this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
    "PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
    "PortalUrlInt"="https:/developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"

And then edit the hosts. file with an entry for developerservices.unlock.me with your computer's IP address.

You will be able to still unlock with ChevronWP7 if it ever becomes locked again.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg

doesnt work. no access for lg i suppose. darnit.
really wanted to stop it relocking. takes 5-30 min to unlock again, since its so random in wanting to let me relock.

I think you can prevent locking by putting your phone into airplane mode before you sync it and leaving it in airplane mode while Zune is open and you're plugged in. This worked for my Samsung Focus before I used a new regedit

Registry Tweak gone awry.

My brother decided to try to add an additional reg to his list of accents on his Focus using the aforementioned regeditor. since then, he no longer has access to the accent customizing app, reg edit, and the theme settings are blacked out. all marketplace and sideload downloaded apps stopped working. is the only ramification to restore the phone? or is there a way i can get to his registry files via my pc to delete that extra file?

I forgot to include the new cert for the address that uses the server "developerservices.unlock.me". It's available in this thread.

No Android Fanboys Please !!!
you can use this to :)
for side loading go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857127

after you did that:

install the reg editor from this link http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593

example :

Here you go :
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes
Edit the string in "DefaultScope" from "Google" TO "Bing".

Remove "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Google"

Make a new key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Bing"
In the key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes\Bing" you make a new value:

value Name=URL
Value Data=http://m.bing.com/search/search.aspx?mid=8015&LC=en-us
Value type= String

if you want to make a provxml (not needed) you can use the code.

BING

Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="Registry">
  <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchScopes">
    <parm name="DefaultScope" datatype="string" value="[B][COLOR="Red"]Bing[/COLOR][/B]" />

0-Allow max number of unsignd apps
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install]
    "MaxUnsignedApp"=dword:7fffffff


Hi. Thanks for the great work. I was able to fix my Caller ID issue, but when I try to modify the tweak above, it says something like: Error, unable to set registry value "MaxUnsignedApp".

Excellent work!​

edit :)

no need to remove the old search reg key

the value "DefaultScope" change the key to be used :)

I now have Bing , Yahoo , Google .
Thanks a bunch, ceesheim! This has been one of the most common requests from HD7 owners that I've seen.

However, to go one further:
Set the value of DefaultScope to "" (empty string) and pressing the Search button in IE will start the built-in Bing app on the phone (rather than navigating to a web page). Basically, if this field is empty, IE reacts to the Search button the same as everything else (except Marketplace).

Another entry of possible interest (don't know how much, if anything, it does):
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Browserui\Settings\Tabs
MaxAllowed
Integer value, defaults to 6.

    Use each music and each audio format with each size as Ringtone , Alert , Alarm

    Hey guys
    I finally found : Use .m4a , .wma , .wav and .mp3 formats as Alarm,Alert,Ringtone ((without size and length limitations))
    without changing the audio name for example Alert-01.wma or .....

    first copy/paste your favorite(s) music(s) to \windows folder.

    ok go [HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/
    OEMNotifications << for Alerts
    OEMAlarms << for Alarms
    OEMRingtones] << for ringtones < as Alarms

    in these 3 folders add "new value" and then :

    Value Name: name.m4a or name.mp3 or name.wav or name.wma << name=name of your audio file that pasted in WINDOWS folder.

    Value Data: enter a name for your audio that you want to be shown.

    Value Type: String

    then click "ok" to set it and go to Setting>ringtones+sounds and see

    I tested with .aac , .amr , .m4a , .ac3 , .aiff , .flac , .mka , .mp2 and .ogg formats but just .m4a worked as SMS Alert.
    I try it to add a small .mp4 video as ringtone but did not work.
    I think if we can add more formats for Ringtones Category it will be possible to have video as ringtone.

    (important) If you use a long music as sms alert for example you can not stop playing it so you must shutdown your phone.

    I think with this registry tweak all applications related to Ringtones and RingtoneMaker and ... must be change.
