hey guys...i didnt find any other report about chevron's crashes...
i dont understand why!
all procedure is done...zune sdk tools and so on...when i start chevron and flag the 2 options instantly when press "unlock" the program crash...
i tryed to use all compatibility options and im admin on this account...im getting bored about this ehhehehe
Your pc's host file must NOT be read only. Chevron writes to it temporarily during the unlock. It will crash every time you click unlock if it is.
windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
I had the same Problem on my Windows 7 Notebook. Though I am admin on the NB, I found I had to run the Program as Administrator for it to work. It seems that the Program doesn't like UAC....
my host file is not Read Only...any other idea? i dont know maybe some particular driver for phone or something else
Virus? Malware?
Scan your pc first.
Disable antivirus, antimalware (live protections like TEA TIMER (spybot s&d))...

Try reinstalling Windows
Had same problem with Chevron, and I had set write permission to the hosts file, reformatted SDHC card (that was working fine) with SD Formatter tool, re-flashed WP7 fresh.. to no avail.. until I went into WP7 "settings" app > "about" > "reset your phone".
Once I did this, I had no problem connecting to Zune, and Chevron. There must be a flag that gets set by the reset activity... Hope this solves your problem too!
host rewritten
i have had no luck with any of the above suggesting, making sure the host was not set to read only did keep it from chevron from crashing but then the host file just gets rewritten again and unlocker wont communicate with phone
Hello,
Try this,,,
After pairing your device with zutune,
Start All the zutune services
(If you are using an AV with a firewall, you should allow ChevronW7 pass through.)
Run ChevronW7.exe after then.
That works for me.
My system is W7_64x and AVG

hi,
I also had the same problem, was the antivirus that did crash, it was enough to disable it, and unlock work fine
Hi Guys, I also had the same problem and this is how it worked for me.
Disable the VGA driver and then run zune and then the chevron program in Administrator mode. Hope that helps someone.... if it doesnt probably it can be a problem with your windows sys files or it can be antivirus or windows defender or other programs.....

I think you need to set up ActiveSync Connection And Run the EXE on your Computer and then it will place and install the Cab on your device.

Active sync 4.5 does not work with Vista, you need to install Windows Mobile Device Center.

google it
try searching google for windows mobile device centre
Maybe get a Mac.

First Step, Get a Real Operating System.
As soon as I can get OpenSync Working on my ubuntu Drake Set up I will no longer need XP
But try downloading Device Center From the Site. I had the same problem where it wouldn't install from the CD either on my old Vista Machine. But when I downloaded it from the website it installed a'ok.
Device Center
I ran across the same issue when I upgraded to Vista. I had to also go download the program necessary for installing anything to my device:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center.mspx
Basically install it, then connect your device to the PC and install like normal. When your done make sure to check your program folder to make sure it is in there.
If it was Handango you got this through, they are usually pretty good at helping with this sort of thing. So if my suggestion doesn't work for you they might help.
....thats what I get alot of the time trying to install things like mem maid and skype mobile. Does anyone have any ideas on this one, do I need to unlock something to install as I don't see anyone else on the forum with the same prob. I have the T-mobile MDA if thats relevant.
Cheers.
Most probably you can't run unsigned apps.
Change the xxx101a key to dword 00000001 in security policies in the registry.
Did you download SkypeForPocketPC.exe or SkypeForPocketPC.cab ? I accidentally downloaded SkypeForPocketPC.exe the other day and got the same message. Download the .cab file instead. It's located on the same page. It says something like "For advanced users, download <link>.".
yes .exe installs for pocketpc are always ment to be run from the pc which then
use activesync to copy the cab to the phone and run it

Hi Just wanna share the info regarding unlocking WP7, sorry if this posted in XDA already, but in case somebody want to try this unlock tools... here it is..
Microsoft allows developers to unlock their device for sideloading their applications for testing purposes using their marketplace account. Creating a marketplace account requires yearly charges of 99 USD which is difficult for new testing developers to pay for. A groups of developers have released a new Windows Phone 7 unlocker tool which provides the ability for anyone to unlock a WP7 device without a Marketplace developer account. The developers claim that this tool is completely safe and reversible for the phone and the app even allows you to relock the phone. Just download the exe,run it when your phone is connected. Thats it..Your phone unlocked. Here is the download links,
http://walshie.me/ChevronWP7.exe

Congrats to the developers of this tool, the chevron group consisting of Long Zheng, Rafael Rivera and Chris Walsh. Follow their blog for more details on this project.

3. edit the properties of ChevronWP7.exe (I am running windows 7 64 bit.)
a. Run in compatibility mode XP SP3

c. Apply those changes and exit. DO NOT RUN IT YET
4. Start up the Zune software, and make sure it detects your phone
5. Run ChevronWP7 (If you get the pin code error, simply slide the lockscreen up so you can see the tiles, and run the program again.)
6. Then click all of the check boxes and unlock

no problem bro. I spent 3 hours reading and trying on several machines till I found all that info in several places. It just did not work for me on XP but every os beyond from ms did.
I did every step, but it still doesn't work.
It keeps throwing the error
Sorry, i'm having trouble communicating with the phone,
-Please make sure it's connected using USB
-Please start the Zune application
If the phone's locked, it does show "Your phone is PIN locked" or sth.
I'm also running Windows 7 64 bit.
help
everytime i run chevronwp it crashes help
help
when i run the program and go through the check list and hit unlock i get a message that says the program has stopped workin help
1. Did u download and install the thing from the link to ms?
if no then that might be part of ur problem
2. Do u have Skype or any other app like that running on ur machine?
If so then u need to full close out of those apps. Make sure there process's are not still active. U can do so through task manager.
3. In Zune when ur phone connects does it say ur name or guest?
If guest then u need to hit the button below the phone image to set up ur phone to be the main user.
4. Did u sign into Zune?
If no then sign in. I was signed in when it worked for me.
I hope that helps troubleshoot ur problem.
Also try re downloading the unlocked app. If it was zip/rar it might of unpacked incorrectly.
1. Yes, I verified that because I can access the editor and Application Deployment (by searching for it..)
2. Only MSN, but that was switched off.
3. Will have to check, but I think it's the name of the phone.
4. Yes, I tried when signed in and out.
I will try booting in safe mode, maybe that helps.
I'll get back to you.
I have Win 7 64 bit as well and got all the same errors.
I then tried it on a Win 7 32 bit machine, with all the same settings, and no problems at all. Unlocked within a second.
Thankyou.
Taken from the chevronwp7 blog
seems that this tools dev has been temp stopped
tryed to dl the cerv from the link bellow
http://www.chevronwp7.com/cert
however its just goes to a 404 error page now
managed to dl the tool before the shutdown but seems to require the cert to work on a x64 machine
any ideas?
post from chervon bellow
Code:
ChevronWP7 Dev Team: “Earlier today, we were contacted by Brandon Watson, Director of Developer Experience for Windows Phone 7, to discuss the ChevronWP7 unlocking tool.
Through this discussion, we established a mutual understanding of our intent to enable homebrew opportunities and to open the Windows Phone 7 platform for broader access to developers and users.
To pursue these goals with Microsoft’s support, Brandon Watson has agreed to engage in further discussions with us about officially facilitating homebrew development on WP7. To fast-track discussions, we are discontinuing the unlocking tool effective immediately.”
Hope you already downloaded the software (^_^)
You will find it here.
You'll have to send it by mail to your HD7 to install it on your device.

lol you beat me to it. make sure you extract the cert file from the zip before you attach to an email. just select the cert wait for it to download then select it again when you see the little shield next to the attachment. Then it will ask if you want to install the cert. do it and your set as far as that part of the process is concerned.
If your having issues with it in win7 x64 try changing the exe's compatibility to xp sp2 or sp3. i think i set mine to sp3 on my win7 x64 machine.
also make sure when your phone is sync to unlock your phone so its sitting at the start menu.
it worked! thanks montecristoffon for uploading of the cert file and and hackmimic for the guide.
Cheers!

Hi does this unlocker tool allow for third party apps to be installed? sorry abit confused about all this
Hey guys and gals, I'm having a problem with installing apps to wp7. I have xbmod rom, and when I want to send an app to device it says something about that device is not connected. But it is, and it has cert installed via email. Zune is up, and Dev tolls installed...
I just want to install Facebook and youtube. nothing else... Can I put xap files in rom and than do an automatic install at first startup?
please help
fixed, I installed Vista on virtual machine, and it worked... so, I guess the fault is either in operating system (win 7 64bit) or some installed software are doing conflicts (not skype or firewall nor AV)
So, mod can lock this.
hey am having the same problem, can you tell me how you did it
like more info?
thanks

As I was getting connection errors in my Win 7 64bit, in chevorn, app deployment software, tom xap etc. I just installed Windows Vista 32bit (Sp2- important) on virtual machine (vmware or virtualbox, whichever you prefer) and then I installed Windows Phone development tools in that windows, and that's it. App deployment works, chevron works... everything works as charm.
As I sad, I guess that our installations of Windows have some software that blocks ports, in my case, I'm pretty sure that port 443 was open, but something else was interfering with connection of HD2.
So fresh install of Windows or even better Windows on virtual machine is the real solution. because nothing else worked till this.
Hope I helped someone with this. Mods can put this information is some sticky tutorials about connection problem.
Good Luck
