(Solved)
After updating to 7740, Chevron unlock does not work
Any one successfully Chevron unlock with 7740?
I have tried to uninstall the Windows Phone SDK and install again.
But still doesn't work.
Finally, I use another notebook with Win7, then install Zune, Windows Phone SDK.
Then run Chevron Unlock again, it works again!
Are there many benefits to Chevron unlock?
@htc:
There aren't that many. You can side-load applications (10 of them) which will allow you to run some home-brew non-marketplace apps, including ones you make yourself.

just want to try some apps like Battery Status, Screen Capturer, TouchExperence.
And US$9 is an acceptable price...
Chevron Labs will unlock Mango
Can you still use the official marketplace as well once you've used Chevron?

You will need to buy a copy of Windows and install it side by side with your Mac OSX via Bootcamp
Best option is to Google it, Apple have a lot of information on it (its very easy to do)
Parellels should work as well. Very similar to bootcamp, but it runs inside osx.

The beta... or probably not even that, probably an alpha, has been leaked.
Anyway to the OP, well you are using a very preliminary version, so bugs are expected...
And I hope you don't do any flashing on that PC, virtual machine or not.
Did you try running KIES in Comparability mode?
"samsung kies is not working on windows 8 build 7989 and keeps crashing, any ideas? im in the process of installing a windows 7 virtual machine right now."
Tell Samsung or maybe Microsoft to fix it.
Is there a readily available download location for windows 8 alpha?
That build is old and you shouldn't expect many programs to work on it.
Better to wait for a public RC release to use that.
the virtual machine program vmware wasnt even working with windows 8 so i just said the hell with it and re installed windows 7 and i will run windows 8 in a virtual machine i will wait for the public beta before i try anything again
I already having enough issues with KIES on a 64 bit OS. Let alone an alpha build of another Windows. Lol. good luck with that!
Well, KIES is not working properly on windows 7 or other OS so what do you expect?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
W8 Is not yet released so it won't work good at all. Try the compability mode if still doesn't work then must be something with w8.
tried, all compatibility mode giving same error
"Kies has stopped working"
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
guys. is there any way to connect my SAMSUNG SMARTPHONE to my computer?
i am using internet via tethering. i just barrow my friends 2G internet USB.
don't use win8 because if kies crash or odin when u installing the rom maybe u will have a hard brake because

Why are you using an old build? 8250 is out now the consumer preview why don't you download that & then try kies again?
Or set xp compatibility mode on kies.
The problem is .Net Framework 4.5 that won't work with kies

Freely available for download there, buddy.
And it's a "CONSUMER PREVIEW" which means it hit Beta... Beta meaning it's considered the final UI look unless something terribly wrong is flagged. It's quite possible in "Beta mode" that things might not run. It does seem like a Windows 7 with a more polished UI though, so I'm thinking getting KIES to run is a minor issue.
I wonder if slmgr -rearm still works.
Dude he put up the above question in Aug..any way beta build is what I am using
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yup in consumer preview kies not supported . But windows 8 is giving good experience .
Very fast booting time and eye candy looks .

Ok first update to windows 8 CP build 8250 with all Net. Framework and updates installed.
Second run Kies in windows 7 compatibility mode and as administrator.
Good luck

Works fine for me, required the net framework installed but it did that automagically.

Hi
I am new to android phone and have been reading these forums regarding HTC Desire X. Yasir (Nexus Prime) has helped me a for unlocking bootloader.
I was facing a problem with HTC Sync Manager. I am using windows 8 64 bit version and after spending one complete day, i was not able to sync my contacts / calender between phone and laptop.
I found a free software named ''myphoneexplorer''. Its awesome and has much more capabilities than HTC Sync Manager cant even imagine for next couple of years. You can access your phone, backup and restore contacts, messages, call logs and much more. You can even send sms, chat, make phone call and even control your phone from laptop using USB cable, wifi or bluetooth.
Just wanted to share my discovery.
Your forums are very helpful as i just started with android scene yesterday with no knowledge of it. But with the help of your forums specially Yasir, i am gonna install a ROM on it in a while.
Thanx
Great to have you here! And thanks for the tip

EDIT:
Tried it now, don't use it, my NOD32 went crazy when I went to applications tab. It installs some market app which leads you to the site blocked by antivirus.
But guys i am using it for some days and its awesome

Does anyone have the first version of the Microsoft Youtube xap file? It may be wise to keep a backup of it before it is updated to include ads. Or at the very least does anyone have version 2 which has disabled the downloads of videos but at least it does not show youtube ads. Some of us can store the xap file on are sd card and install from sd after a factory reset on phone.
Try this: http://dfiles.eu/files/dx6n7i76t
(this is official version from market store)

Thank you sir.
can we sideload if we developer unlock?
can we side load this xap if we developer unlock our phone, can we developer unlock windows phone 8? I am tempted to just pay the $100
No, you can't. XAP files downloaded from the Web Marketplace are encrypted and sideloading is therefore not possible. Also upon installation the license is validated and you won't be able to install outdated XAP files. So basically that copy is worthless at the moment.
Someone on another thread said if you unzip the xap delete the app header file you can then sideload

Wait did you guys say we could install the xap from our SD card?
Sent from my SGH-T899M using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
You can download XAP files from the Web Marketplace, copy them to the SD card and install from there. It will still check if the signature is correct, if the App is still available and if the version you are trying to install is the most recent one. You can't install XAPs from the SD card that are not from the Marketplace.
And you could do it with old XAP-Files (removing the headers that is) but that was way before WP8, so no: you can't sideload Marketplace Apps in any way due to the encryption that so far has not been broken.
I see argh!

I have the xap and a dev unlock account but so far no one has been able to de encrypt marketplace apps and any talk of that, people start freaking out about piracy, I just don't want to give this app up when I switch phones, I seriously use it all the time

Original youtube app is back to the market store: http://www.windowsphone.com/pl-pl/store/app/youtube/dcbb1ac6-a89a-df11-a490-00237de2db9e
As far as I can tell, this is an update to the version after they removed all the "cool" stuff (downloading videos, avoiding ads). So yeah, it's an update, and yeah, it's sort-of like the original app (same AppID and all), but it appears to be missing the features that people actually were excited about when it was first released.
@noelito: if removing PlayReady DRM was that easy, or even practical right now at all, it would have been done a while ago.
I'll stick with my version 1 of the YouTube app then, now that I have internet sharing back and a decent camera on my ATIV S , I am satisfied at the moment with my phone

@noelito If you interop-unlock your device, you can "save" the unencrypted/extracted version to your PC. Then it's a trivial matter to turn it into a side-loadable xap that we can all use!
The thing is google has blocked this app , so even if I do that, the app is useless in that fashion too

you can flash another ROM but also you can use Preview for Developers... is not Black but you get few features from Black update (also in future your phone get preview updates earlier)
if you have developer Microsoft account, just download Preview for Developers from Store and activate it...

if you dont have dev account, go to http://apps.windowsstore.com/default.htm
register with your Microsoft account which use on phone
check email on phone and install certificate from mail attachment
go to store and install Preview for Developers from Store and activate it...
check for updates
