Are you gonna use the official MS/Chevron unlocker?

[canesfan625]

Definitely...theres alot of things I'd like to tweak, change or add. But I'm not a dev so I'm hoping I will be able to understand it or figure it out.

Everyone, really, really needs to research their phones before unlocking if your goal is to tweak things. If you can't interop unlock your phone you will NOT be able to tweak squat. Without InterOp unlock you can't modify the system in any way.

I wouldn't have any interest at all to download something like chevron, but the lack of customization on this phone has me looking for things to change that. Mostly its the color scheme and some other things you can't find in settings. Other than that I wouldn't mess with how the system runs or anything like that.

So will this work with a Chevron unlocked phone? I'm assuming not...

EDIT: Advanced Config Tools, I mean - dunno why my post hacked off what I quoted!

In order to use the advanced configuration tools, don't I need a chevron unlocked phone?

Considering it.

I dont see why it wouldnt. I imagine your phone needs to be interop unlocked too

I can't do it anyway. The site says:

The purchasing of tokens has been disabled until further notice. See our post for details.

We aren?t quite ready for new payments at the moment, so that will remain offline. Our focus is to unlock the paid user base ? they?ve been super patient thus far and we appreciate it.

And interop unlock is the one that costs $99, right? And without it, you can't run a lot of code.

So basically - Chevron Unlock does very, very little? Disappointing. There's not much point having a legit route a la WebOS homebrew if you can't actually do much at all. I'd rather have a proper iOS-style jailbreak and be non-legit if it meant you could tinker with things usefully.

I have now just finished downloading and installing windows phone SDK 7.1 and Microsoft .NET framework 4 on my pc, which is required before downloading the unlock tool in chevronwp7 labs. ..Do I run the product now, before downloading the unlock tool in chevron?

Anyone know when the tokens are going to be available for purchase again? It was down pretty much all day yesterday. They must be overloaded or something.

On Twitter they said it should be up by Friday.

Thanks. Sounds like good news.

For the Advanced Configuration Tool 1.4.0.0, one needs to be interop-unlocked, correct?

correct. Anything that touches the system requires it

I paid the $99 dollars MS dev unlock and I can't load certain xap's. There are extra sets to get interop unlocked that I don't want to try.

But with my dev unlock device, I have installed nokia maps, Tango (before it was released) screen capture..

Any reason you want to avoid it? Just wondering.

 

[vdubskey]

Do you really have to leave your phone connected to the pc the entire time your waiting in que? How long is it typically taking for the people that have done it? I want to jump on this tomorrow if the tokens are available, but can't just leave my phone at home all day plugged in waiting.

Its 99 dollars? I thought it was like 9 bucks for a token. In trying to download chevron labs, I was prompted to already download 4 other things first, and still I don't even have a token. Man, I hope this thing is worth it..

I was going to for the sole purpose of being able to use my phone with the Windows Phone Device Manager or whatever the program was that allows direct access and file movement between the computer and phone instead of having to run my files through the clouds but, from what I've been reading and been told online, I still wouldn't be able to connect with it if running the Chevron unlocker so I don't have any use for it. I really miss not being able to transfer files/information easily as I've done all these years since Windows CE and ActiveSync/WMDC.
