Well, the problem was that not all the phones could access and modify registry until yesterday.

Now HTC, Samsung and Lg registries can be modified with Advanced Configuration Tool. Dunno about Dell. So the strings involved can be modified directly into the phones now, but - after that - you have to install a new certificate for the 127.0.0.1 domain.

My tweak, listed in the first post of this thread, is (in my humble opinion) easier and lasts after an upgrade of the firmware, too.

Ok, two more questions: can I delete the original line: 192.***.178.** developerservices.windowsphone.com ?
In other words: replace that line with the ones you mentioned?

Also, won't Microsoft block it again when you login to some Zune/Marketplace service from your phone itself?

LEO70 kept on locking when connecting to Zune all the time. But till now I just disabled my network connection before connecting my phone to my laptop through USB and haven't had any problems with it relocking sinze.

Excuse my n00biness: just trying to learn.

Yes, you have to replace that line!

I haven't experienced any relock connecting from the phone to Zune/Marketplace yet... I assume it only happens when connecting the phone to the pc client. I'll check with Wireshark, anyway! Nice suggestion, thank you!

Yesterday, tried to do this unlock.
My device (HD2 WP7) was unlocked using Chevron but sometimes I need to relock and unlock once more. I made all modifications with register on device (chages with *.unlock.me) and deployed using HTC deployer. All perfect, reboot phone, and now I can't unlock my device. Trying to do this using Chevron and see only one message - Error with zune or pin. Before register fix Chevron works perfect!
Anybody can answer how to solve this problem? All installed soft wants to be uninstalled and not running, because phone is locked now. And now I cant run any game or programm, cant install anything using Tom XAP Installer.

Help to solve this, or the one solving is phone reset? Thanx.

How have you tried to unlock? Take a look at your hosts file (as in my guide) and tell me what you get........might be better to post in my thread so not to derail this thread

Well, the problem is the registry mod that changes developerservices.windowsphone.com and developerservices.windowsphone-int.com with *.unlock.me

Restore the original values and delete the lines in the first post of this thread from your hosts file. Reboot your pc and unlock with Chevron, then apply my tweak and reboot again.

After this, the phone will be fine

I've got an LG Quantum. Not working for me. It locks again.
I followed all the steps. Whenever I open the HTC Hub again, it tells me to uninstall have to re-unlock the device again with ChevronWP7.

Have you disabled modify and writing permissions on your hosts file and then rebooted your pc before syncing again your phone with Zune?

Great! Wok on my HD2!!
Thanks!

How I can restore original values if my phone is locked for install using XAP Installer and I can't unlock it using Chevron?

your instructions didn't say reboot the PC.
I tried again rebooting.
Nothing. Followed all the steps.

I have the LG Optimus 7 (E900) and I followed the guideline and I also can't manage to have the phone locked for long.

Morpheus90 I sent you a Private Mail regarding this today. Can you please help me out?

Hi TripleMPower,

to answer your questions, I use Windows 7 to unlock, but any other version equal or superior to XP Sp3 is fine, too! Also, the unlock guide said the phone should be in airplane mode, but I had no problems keeping 3g data connection on (in Italy, with Vodafone).

Solving your problem shouldn't be hard. Follow the following instructions to restore the phone to the unlocked status:

1. Restore write and modify permissions on the hosts file, than delete all lines referred to developerservices.windowsphone-int.com and developerservices.windowsphone.com from it. Save, close the editor and reboot your pc.

2. Once the computer boots, connect your phone via USB and sync with Zune, than unlock with Chevron.

3. Immediately disconnect your phone without syncing again, then apply my tweak to the hosts file and reboot the pc.

4. Now you are free to sync while your phone is in airplane mod with your pc, without relock danger.

Hope this helps!

Well, you have to unlock it first for sure... :/

Do the points 1 and 2 listed in the post above.

I am going to give it a shot again bro.

So you suggest I switch to aeroplane mode when trying to unlock the phone and then stay in aeroplane mode when using your mode to remain unlocked and also when deploying apps to the phone.

By the way, if we deploy games and stuff will microsoft ban our gamertag? Is there a way we can change the gamertag now or do we have to reset the phone to do that?

 

[TripleMPower]

It worked!

I was able to sideload 10 programs without problems. However after intalling 10 programs I am unable to deploy anymore programs.

Use Advanced Configuration Tool for this

Well, I don't know if Microsoft actually bans gamertags if you deploy free xbox games to your phone...

But I'm a developer, so I can suggest/remember everyone one thing for sure: never use warez. It's a HUGE damage, expecially for indipendent developers, not paid and supported by large companies (like I am).
