all unlock methods leads to deploying a file to open something on the registry, my question is, how do I really enable the deployment of file, when my phone is locked. I tried the Microsoft Application deployment tool, but it won't deploy the file since its locked.
Any help is appreciated.
By the way, I am running OS Version 7.10.7720.68.
Thank you.
There is no unlock yet for mango. I'm in the same situation. Just gotta wait till something comes out.
Roll back to 7004, Chevron Unlock, Nodo, provxml.. Blah blah, upgrade to Mango.
It's the fastest way for you right now!!

I'm just saying... My cousin was on NoDo and wanted to be unlocked and I flashed the 7004 ROM and went from there. (We didnt use his backup, flashing is way faster.) He is now running 7720 with unlock, interop, and provxml.
Alternatively, get an actual developer account ($100, http://create.msdn.com) or, if you have an active student (.EDU) email address, you can get it from http://DreamSpark.com for free.
The last option, ChevronWP7 Labs (expected to cost a "nominal" fee), was announced a few months ago but isn't available yet. :-(
I think there's this new method called "interop" unlock, and by just deploying the file you can unlock the phone.
The instructions from heallthcliff says that by just deploying the .xap file using any deployment tool then it all other doings will be phone based diagnosis app.
I guess the tricky part is how to deploy the file, the remaining tasks is not that hard anymore.
My phone was previously unlocked before going to mango, but once the mango was installed the phone already locked by itself.
le sigh...
Interop-unlock is a superset of dev-unlock. It's not a new method of anything, it's just another level of access. The very concept of it has no meaning without dev-unlock.
The method for achieving interop-unlock requires already having dev-unlock on all phones except LG 9since they have a built-in regeditor). Samsung phones can do it from already being in Mango. HTC phones require that you first roll back to NoDo (before dev-unlock was crippled by removing the capabilities now called interop-unlock) and set the phone up before upgrading again.
my phone is already in Mango and its locked, how do I unlock it? How do I do it on a Samsung Focus?
At this point it would be a good idea to read what the other people have put thoroughly.
There is no way to unlock if you are on mango at this time.
You are going to have to flash back to 7004(Not mango, or NoDo.) and then unlock and build up from there until you are on unlocked mango.

Hi,
Apparently the windows phone developer program is not available in my region. Is it possible to register an unlocked windows phone device without paying the developer fees for the marketplace. Just want to experiment on some homebrew apps?
Also is there a way to unlock the phone not using Chevron tool. Because the tool is made obsolete by the Nodo patch.
Thanks
No, unfortunately not.
The only way to unlock the device other than officially is to use the Chevron tool.
MS did say they were looking at alternatives for homebrew development and hopefully that will come soon.
I feel that if they can't offer marketplace registration for people in other countries they should at least allow them to be able to dev unlock their phones so that they can still work on apps for the phone. Then, when the marketplace opens for those regions there will be a whole lot of apps ready for release.
Thanks... is it possible to debug the applications when running on the device or does the Chevron tool make it possible only to sideload apps.
You can use your chevron-unlocked phone for debugging apps and games, yes.
I just have a few question: After reading a lot of thread some are concern that updating to nodo will somehow "disable chervon" so is it true? the new update would kill our unlocked phones?
I have a HTC HD7 and i'm too scared to try because i dont' want my phone locked again
It's pretty simple. The update will kill the chevron hack. And sometime in the near future NoDo will be unlocked by someone. So you decide if you want to:
1) keep your unlocked phone and go without NoDo for a few weeks to a few months while waiting for NoDo to be unlocked and then update.
2) update to NoDo when available and go a few weeks to a few months while waiting for NoDo to be unlocked.
Nothing to be "scared" about. It's not like your phone being locked makes it unusable. You just have to decide how important NoDo is to you.
I unlock just to make the registry tweak that unbrand my phone. If I get the update, I won't need to do this
So, I've been trying to unlock my phone again since getting the update to 7008 and not having the prevent relock xap installed at the time. However, here is my dilemma and was wondering if anyone could help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12542855&postcount=960
Ok so I just recently switched to WP7 from android. I followed the steps and made my phone developer unlocked but that doesnt seem to be what is called unlocked for wp7. What is needed to get a "fully" unlocked phone with root? Ive seen something called interop unlock? Thanks for the help.

It's not yet possible on the 900. People are working on it.
So ive read. My question is more general, not just for the lumia 900. What are the differences between the unlocks?
Unlock types
Windows phones are locked down so you can only install applications from the marketplace that have been tested and found to behave themselves.
Microsoft wants to encourage application development, so students can register as developers for free, and have a partially unlocked phone that allows them to install 3 homegrown applications.
For $100, one can establish a commercial developer's account with Microsoft, and can then developer unlock your phone, which allows installation of 10 homegrown applications.
If you interop unlock your phone, you can install an unlimited number of homegrown applications. This step is a pre-requisite for Heathcliff74's root unlock, which allows elevation of trusted apps to run with high privileges. This allows powerful but unsafe modifications to be made to your phone.

oh ok thanks for that info, so I myself have a student unlock device, and able to sideload 3 apps on my nokia 900. If and when tools are available for a interope unlock of the nokias 900 will it be in the form of a xap file, or are there still steps to doing so?

It will be in whatever form those who are working to unlock the phone make it available in. Maybe a XAP, Maybe you will have to flash an unlocked rom with the the recovery tools provided by supersport in the dev. section.
There is no telling until its found out how to do this.
Thank you both. That clarifies alot.
is interop unlock for nokia lumia 900 out already?
So apparently I can't comment on the development threads because I'm a newb and it kinda looks like I can't PM anyone either, so I'm stuck going in circles until I make 10 posts so here I am making this thread.
Essentially I want to backup my SMS and I'm stuck in the process because for some reason I cannot get my phone to Interop Unlock. I've got Nokia Interop Unlock installed on my phone, but when I go to Network Setup, it just looks for my network forever and never shows Interop Unlock as enabled or whatever.
Help? D:
inter op
currently there is no inter op for these nokia devices the app you are using was a proof of concept but doesnt acutally work, its the same with lumia 800s only a certain few can run custom rome with the unlocked bootloader, but peeps with nokia dload bootloader are out of luck at the moment
