Hi everyone, I'm new here so sorry if I post this in the wrong forum.
Anyway, I recently bought a Nokia Lumia 800 and was wondering what "jailbreak" options are available to me?
I'm not new to homebrew so don't think I'm a noob, I'm just not familiar with the Lumia hacking scene.
I understand that there are two types of bootloader, Qualcomm and DLoad, and only Qualcomm is able to have a custom ROM installed.
What are the benefits of unlocking/installing custom ROM? There are several issues I have with the phone at the moment, and I assume the homebrew community has come up with solutions (eg. Make the message text bigger etc.) that are available if you unlock so if Iis, I will. can do th
Thanks for any help,
Emmet

i found that many people having trouble on unlocking.
unlocking is not a difficult job but it is not an easy thing too. since the chevron unlocker is so non user friendly, will it be better if we have a ROM which is unlocked by default for our mozart user? thanks
+1 for this. Also it will help many users' errors with no 'zune mode' after accidentally deleted dfrouter/flash new roms by means of packaging the dfrouter apps inside the rom itself. I hope someone like Ansar will help us. Please.
Hello!
I have recently bought HTC Desire HD, branded with T-Mobile logo on startup and bloatware, but otherwise unlocked (no sim-lock, no network lock), and I did a terrible mistake and updated it from 2.1 I think, to 2.2 and then to 2.3, software number 2.37. Now I want to root it and install custom rom and I realize that it will be much more complicated since I now need to create a goldcard and then downgrade. I read all the threads about downgrading and temp-root and goldcards and I'm asking, if anyone can help me out here by just being online on Skype when I'm doing this, because there will be questions and something can always go wrong and I don't want to wait hours or days for somebody to just tell me "your question has already been answered, use the search option". So if anyone who has already rooted a phone, preferably several times, preferably a branded phone and with 2.37 software, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm not a newbie in computers, also used to work on web design and I'm currently a photographer residing in Tallinn, Estonia, so nice to meet you fellow XDA member who is willing to help me out. I can donate some money, if everything goes well, that is not a problem at all.
rooted and flashed CM7 nightly, thanks to HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V12.3 and fellow friends here on XDA!
Hi guys,
Last night I managed to get my lumia 800 developer unlocked through Microsoft's website and Dreamspark as I am a student however after spending an hour or so downloading the SDK and installing it I found that I need root for most homebrew applications.
I've looked through a lot of threads and found that I have the Nokia DLOAD bootloader, however most of the threads are old.
My questions are; How do I go about getting root access to my phone?
and 2: What are my options?
Thanks for your replies!
I do not think there is anything that can be done at this point, unless you have the qualcomm bootloader. I am in the same situation.
Nope, you have to first gain interop-unlock. What kind of homebrew apps do you need anyway? The basic ones like screencapture and marketplace changer are enough for dev-unlock, just check with the developer or read the info.

How did you manage to get marketplace config to work without root access?

I was hoping to get ringtone2sms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634842) working. Haven't had a chance to check out many more homebrew apps so far.
Hello,
Apologies in advance if this has been asked, I have searched but haven't seen what I'm looking for.
My phone is a Htc 7 Mozart running 7.5 on orange I wish to unlock/jailbrak my phone to install DSmarket place install custom roms and have a tinker.
Now my Nooob question how to I do this? I have searched and searched with various ways to do this such as Chevron7 Windows Deployment Tool, does this still work? I don't fancy thou paying (not into werz either) I found windowbreak easy but not for my phone grr! so I need a noobs guide on how to do this. I have in the past rooted android phones so not a complete noob.. I guess anyway..
Thanks

Hi guys,
I want to begin by saying that this is not a thread asking for helping unlocking a specific phone. I realize that it's illegal in most countries, and I'm not looking for help in that department.
That being said, my question is regarding the lock mechanism. I've seen on the web that flashing the phone with a different ROM and bootloader won't unlock the phone. If so, the information regarding the network lock can't be inside the flash memory of the phone...
So, where is it kept? How is it able to survive a flash from a custom ROM?
Thanks
