Good day everybody.
I have samsung omnia 7 (downgraded to i8700) and trying to unlock for market apps installation.
I have read this thread about unlocking and it works until execute zune updates.
I successfully install chevron certificate and unlock with chevronwp7.exe.
Then I can use XAPDeployX and install a reg- Editor WP7RootTools 0.7 alpha.xap.
I mean it works everything until perform zune updates.
When I try to deploy some xap file i got this message:
Deployment FAILED with the following ERROR:
Failed to connect to device as it is developer locked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284.
I read something about offline updates from this link but I am not sure that this can help me.
Is possible to have unlocked windows phone 7.5 and how. I really cant figure how can I accomplish this.
Please Help !
Thanks...

Hello guys,
I'm new to wp7.. I recently bought a lumia 800 and tried to unlock it by installing the certificate and then running the wp7unlocker on pc (with Zune running in the background).
An error pops up each time stating that i make sure that the phone is connected using usb and the zune software is running. I googled it many times and still haven't found a solution.
I have installed the latest 12070 update via Zune and haven't flashed the phone or done anything else.
Awaiting a prompt reply.
The free Chevron unlock never worked on the Lumia 800. You have either to use the official Chevron method (which is currently not availably) or unlock your phone via AppHub. If you are a Student you could try to get a free dreamspark unlock.

hey if i developer unlock this via the sdk i have dreamspark will i be able to install custom roms and XAP total noob at WP
No you will only be able to get Developer unlock, this allows you to sideload .xap files to the lumia.
To get full interop unlock you need to have the Qualcomm bootloader

Hope this helps you out....
I have an Omnia W, with the original version 7.5 I used the WindowBreak.
After the update to 7.8 via the Zune the WindowBreak stopped working on my Omnia W.
I did the procedure again, I accessed the site, select WindowBreak Diagnosis using, but I can not unlock.
Something else must be done to use the WindowBreak with 7.8?

Samsung patched the exploit that WindowBreak (and Heathcliff's interop unlock) used back in the KK2 update, which most people got along with Tango. There's really not much that can be done about that. As always, I strongly recommend against updating your device through official channels without verifying what the update may do to your unlock status.

Hey everyone!
I've checked for weeks now on Zune for the Windows Phone 7.8 Update. and have resorted to using the navifirm method.
It's factory unlocked from nokia, RM-803.
I've done everything correctly, but Care Suite 5.0 just gives me a 'Software Status: Not Upgradable' message. The refurbish page has the 'Start' button greyed out and I'm unable to flash ANY firmware file at all.
Does anyone have a possible work around to this? Or am I locked on 7.5 forever?
Read a few threads you`ll find a few ways up updating to 7.8
This is probably the easiest for updating

Hello, i have a nokia lumia 920 with 8.1, build 8.10.12393.890, and i can't seem to find anything to install more than the 2 xap limit provided by the developer unlock.The chinese jailbreak tool doesn't seem to be active anymore and doesn't do anything, (i really wanted at least to be able to install 10 xap's).Interop unlock doesn't work anymore (too late).And every other method requires an sd card, which lumia 920 doesn't have.Isn't there any way to root, vcreg, or remove that 2 xap limit?i also wouldn't install windows 10, as i don't wanna risk bricking my device.
Edit : Apparently, there is something called Wpinternal, wich unlocks the bootloader and grants root acces to the phone, the problem is now, it says there that i need a .ffu file that must match the rom image installed on my phone, i have an at&t cyan version, and i can't seem to find it anywhere, also says there's some risk of bricking, really intimidating stuff there :'(
Even later edit : So i tried to flash something to unlock the bootloader with wpinternal but used a wrong ffu file and messed everything up and bricked my phone, windows device recovery showed fatal error, and nokia recovery tool showed unhandled exception.
After realising that i may have messed up the phone forever and started crying a little, i reflashed an original image with wpinternal, and succesfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone with mass storage and registry acces
