[Q] Unlock with Samsung Professional Tools - Omnia 7 General

I've got a T-Mobile Omnia 7 and need to unlock it, and I've found insructions for using Samsung Professional Tools and a USB cable to do it, only I don't want to try it and brick my lovely new phone!
Has anyone else unlocked an Omnia 7 using this method successfully?
Apologies if this is discussed elsewhere. Thanks.

After step 4, run i8700 WP7 downloader, put your phone in download mode with three button combo vol up+camera+power on, and upgrade firmware downloaded from the forum or samfirmware.com

Don't work for me, errors looking for a card reader...I assume you need another piece of hardware for it to work?
know nothing about SPT tools..

Have anyone tried these?
I just cant get SPTCARD997 to work, even tried the actual version of this program. On windows 7 when i start the programs they exits right away without any clue, or error message. In xp they want some sort of storage card, and the program window behind the error message displays the text content with question marks, like the text was from another charset. I dont believe it, i even tried them on freshly installed windows x86/x64.
And the solution with the rom. My phone left locked after jj6 rom, so i dont think switching the rom is gonna solve the lock problem.
Can somebody help me?

How to find Your Mobile's DeviceID Without Entering Registry

I have not found about this.So, i thought i should make a post here about how to find your Device ID without searching in Registry.
There are a few steps only & they are idiot proof.The regular method posted in the official & some other threads can give you more than one DeviceID for your Phone if you have plugged the Phone in different USB Ports.
Even searching in Registry can give you more than one DeviceID if you used multiple USB Ports.So, in that case you will need to know which is the correct deviceID for your model & this does not involve searching in Registry.
1) Install SEUS ( Sony Ericsson Update Service ) from the official website.
2) Install the Update Software while your phone is connected to your machine.After installing the Software , Disconnect your Phone from your Computer & start the Update application & follow the prompts.
3) Put your phone in Flash Mode.
4) A Green light will turn on while your phone is off if you have done it properly which is shown on the above picture.
5) Now press your Keyboard's Windows & Pause Break buttons at the same time.And go to Device Manager.
6) Expand the " Universal Serial Bus Controllers " & Click on " SEMC Flash Device " .
7) Now from the SEMC Flash device window, scroll through the value of " Device Instance ID " .
8) There you will get your DeviceID.Just highlight & Ctrl+C & Paste it in a Notepad.As you know the last parts are your DeviceID.
In this way you will not search into registry & you will get the correct DeviceID every time you connect your Phone to your machine in the Flash Mode.
Thank You.

thx for sharing

How to? Fascinate Diag mode (QPST/QXDM/CDMA Workshop)

Does anyone know information about how to connect the Samsung Fascinate as Diag Mode driver? ie: this type of connection needed for QPST/QXDM/CDMA Workshop.
I tried 'debugging mode' enabled from the settings in the Applications, but it didn't create any new port that would recognize for my phone.
The Epic solution is pretty strait forward
Install USB Drivers:
32 Bit or 64 Bit
Put phone into DIAG mode:
Dial ##8778#
Select UART = Modem, USB = Modem.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This doesn't seem to work on Fascinate though.
Go to Settings - Wireless Networks - Click to Dialup Networking this will also put it in Dialup mode

wow man, thanks a lot that worked.
Remember to put it Again Dialup Networking off
Thank you for the steps. I was also able to get the phone to be read by QPST and CDMA Workshop. The odd thing is that when I tried to read the phone again the next day, none of the software will read the phone. Interestingly, I can see the COM port and the Modem port in the Device Manager, but the software refuses to read the phone. I am wondering if I accidentally changed one of the settings to turn it into UART or something to this effect, but the code that I found for this (##UPST#) does not work on the phone, even with hidden menu enabled. Any suggestions, currently I am stuck with a phone that can only do voice and text, no 3G? Thank you in advance!
You could try Diag mode
Diag/Testing Mode
*#4636*1111#
QPST sees it, but nothing is editable, in Dial-Up mode?
Thank you for your response! I tried that, it took me to the menu, plugged the phone to the PC, Device Manager shows Samsung Diagnostic Port, I use CDMA Workshop to try to at least read the phone. I connect to the correct COM port, but CDMAWS fails in reading it. I don't get it, it used to work fine with almost the exact same setup. I uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled them, same thing. Wiped the phone, same thing. Kind of frustrating. The only resort I have now is to maybe just get it fully flashed to stock so that I can start from scratch again. Odd, I have never had a phone that was giving me a COM port that phone software consistently fails to read, especially when it worked before. lol. Any assistance with anything else I may try would be greatly appreciated.
**usbui select Modem.. and
Bringing this issue up.... I cannot get it to work. I've read tons of threads and everyone says go to Device Manager and click Ports and then change the port on the Samsung to port 1 and it will show up blah blah Blah.... there is no list that says "Ports" in Device Manager. I have this DialUpNetworking thing checked and debug mode and the port1 shows up in QPST but it says "No Phone". And yes all drivers are installed.
Diag/Testing Mode
*#4636*1111# ??????
That doesn't do jack. It just lets me input the numbers and when I press the last #, all the numbers vanish. I need this to work or I have to get a different Phone.

Do a search in general...i posted how there. It's like *33 something.
**33284 is what ur looking for
Edit: you need to set up the com. That requires knowing the port and putting the phone into dial up mode.
TRY **USBUI (**87284)
You can switch the UART and USB from PDA to MODEM here.

No, I know exactly what he's doing. The phone needs to be in network dial up mode. But for qpst to reckognize it, he needs to add the com.
I found that only the .323 version of qpst worked for me. Also there is the *229 (i think) will reprogram those settings you may have messed up, maybe try that?

323 works for basic flash, however if he's trying to get ppp configs setup for 3g and what not, he will need build 215. 323 will always revert to the original settings. If he's just trying to flash the prl, then it's no big deal. If he's trying to flash over to a different carrier, then it'll revert to vrz settings.
Menu > Settings > Wireless & Networks
Enable Dial up Networking

If Dial-up Networking is not showing perform the following. Dial **33284 followed by SPC (000000 or 468346 ) then scroll to Port Map and select HFK,DIAG. Once this is complete, you should now have Dial-up Networking showing up under Wireless and Network.
Bypass Activation:
Press "Emergency Call"
Dial *#83786633 then press send
After you press "send" press the "home" key and you should now be passed activation

Noob friendly unlock and update to Mango unlocked how-to

Feb 2012: This guide is somewhat obsolete now, because of WindowsBreak project. A simpler unlock guide is in posted here and a complete unlock + Internet Sharing guide is here.
I did this guide as I didn't find a complete noob guide, up to date and with all links in one place.
Noob friendly unlock and update to Mango (keeping Chevron unlock) how-to
Prequisites and must read/understand before proceeding:
Zune 4.7 might be needed, I'm not sure 4.8 works. Uninstall 4.8 and install 4.7 if unsure (and don't update it).
Micro SD card: If you want to install a micro SD card, you have to do it before step 2 (recommended after flashing 7004 - step 1). Also recommended to format the card beforehand with FAT32 (32K or 64K clusters). Then hard reset the phone from Settings/About/"Reset your phone" or the 3 buttons combo (see Focus wiki). When a new micro SD card is added, the phone requests a hardware reset to recognize it and properly work.
Flashing: doesn't affect in any way phone's functioning as long as it's not interrupted in mid process or the phone doesn't have a hardware fault. Recommended to flash the phone on a laptop or a PC+UPS. You can backup your current firmware so you can restore if needed. Flashing, downgrading, upgrading firmware etc does not affect Network Unlock. Once your phone is unlocked to any network, it will remain so, regardless of flashing firmware.
Remember, if you hard reset (in Mango - or any WP7 OS version), you will lose Chevron unlock (ability to deploy XAPs) and to get it again you will have to re-do all the unlock process above.
You can use hard reset to revert to "factory" settings
Optional: To deploy XAPs, Windows Phone Developer Tools is no longer a requirement (about 3 GB). W.I.N.C.O.'s mini SDK WP7 is a smaller solution (4 mb instead of 3 GB - see point 3 below.)
0. (optional) Backup your current firmware, PC program and steps read here.
1. Flash AT&T or Rogers ROMs (7004) from this thread (note: 1st post links no longer valid, new links here)
Personally I recommend Rogers, as it's cleaner: doesn't have the AT&T apps & customization/logo etc. If you're unsure how to do ROM flashing, read my post here (I referenced AT&T "Cetus" ROM there, so replace "Cetus_ATT" with "Rogers").
1b. (optional) Add the micro SD card and do a hard reset (Settings/About, press "Reset your phone"). For compatibility, read this thread or the Focus wiki.
2. Unlock with Chevron, program, steps and video tutorial here
2b. Please note: the Chevron certificate has expired on 25 November 2011. To still be able to use it do this: mail the certificate to yourself. Open it on the mail in the phone, click on the certificate and when the "shield" appears, close it, don't install it. This just insures that the certificate has been downloaded to the phone, so you won't need internet connection to install it later. Now, disconnect the PC from internet, and set the date on PC prior to 25 Nov 2011. Then, set the same date on the phone and put the phone in Airplane mode. Then, install the Chevron certificate. After this, reconnect the PC to Internet and use Chevron to unlock.
3. To deploy (install) XAPs, download and install W.I.N.C.O.'s mini SDK WP7 and then wXapAssistant
3b. Optional/alternate method of 3): if you already installed Windows Phone SDK, you can use Phone7Market on PC from here to deploy XAPs. Once installed, in the folder you have "wp7-deploy.exe" which you can use to deploy/install XAPs, ie wp7-deploy.exe full_path_to_XAP\XAP.XAP, as in:
wp7-deploy.exe C:\WP7\New_SMS_Unlock.xap
4. Immediately after unlocking, install and run Samsung Tools from here, to prevent relock
Check all checkboxes and reset.
4b. (optional) In Dialer, dial ##634# , this should open Diagnosis v929 (just for checking)
5. Install WP7 Root Tools from here
6. Deploy New_SMS_Unlock.xap from here
7. Run WP7 Root Tools on the phone, and in Explorer tab, create a folder "provxml" in the root directory. Now go inside "Applications" subfolder, then inside "Install" subfolder and locate folder "D19A....". Inside, find the "unlock.xml" file. Tap and hold and press "Copy". Then navigate back to "provxml" folder you created, go inside and press "Paste", and see if you have the "unlock.xml" file in it.
Please note: you won't be able to see the "unlock" option in Diagnosis by typing *#9908# until Mango (Rogers) or NoDo/Mango (AT&T).
8. Connect the phone in Zune and update the phone all the way to Mango (7720/7740/later). Keep in mind that if you do this with Zune 4.7 you will have to update to Zune 4.8 now to be able to sync. That's ok.
9. In Mango, uninstall Diagnosis app (if you installed it).
10. Open Diagnosis again by typing ##634# in Dialer. When in Diagnosis type *#9908# . Select "unlock" (should be the last item) and press "Save". It should say "Loading GPRS..."and you can exit Diagnosis.
10.b (optional) If you want to be extra sure, you can re-do step 4 again for good measure.
Congratulations, you are now unlocked in Mango!
Important:
In case something happens and your phone gets re-locked, just run only step 10+10b and you will be unlocked again.
Optionally, you can do Interop unlock, read here. Alternatively, you can enable Internet Sharing+Interop unlock (2 in 1, in the file "DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap") from here (run "DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap", go to "iso store" tab, press and hold "Interop Unlock" then press and hold "Internet Sharing"). You will also need to deploy a fix for the 3G: "Samsung Repair 3G by Heathcliff74.xap" from here if you do Internet Sharing.
This has been tested to work on AT&T and Rogers Focus with hardware revision 1.3, might work in 1.4.
To check what hardware revision you have, either look under the battery or check my post/thread here.
Don't forget to press Thanks on the original tool/thread poster!
Thank you very much. I was looking for exactly such post/article. I have Zune 4.8 already installed. Can I go ahead with it?

Sure, please try. No worries, if it doesn't work, just uninstall it and install 4.7
I have reached till step 7. I have now copied "unlock.xml" to a new folder "provxml" in root folder.
Before proceeding further, I want to confirm one thing. I did *#9908# while still at 7004 in diagnostic app. I do not see unlock option. Is this normal? Is it only visible once I am at Mango?
If yes, then I can upgrade to Mango without any worry.

Yes, it's normal. Diagnosis doesn't support the unlock until Mango. Will add this info to the guide too. Thanks for testing!

Chevron is quite an iffy program, please make sure you respect the steps there exactly and also check the video tutorial. Also, best way to achieve that is to close all programs running and re-try unlocking. Skype for example interferes with the unlock process.

Have followed all the steps including changing the date and all.. I have done it before with success. Had to hard reset the phone, hence trying to unlock again. Will try rebooting the system and have a go at it again..

I also had a problem Saturday when I updated my SD from 16 GB to a 32 GB one. Initially Chevron didn't work, it worked after I connected the laptop to internet and restarted Zune. Also, make sure the date is prior to 25 November (try 1 Oct 2011, that worked for me) on both devices.

Got it... Need to be connected to the internet.. Thanks a lot for the help!!
I have finished updating to Mango and I was able to unlock Focus. So I can confirm that all works even if Zune 4.8 is used for each step. Yahoo!!
I haven't done Interop-unlock yet, I will do it soon. But that also should work without any issues.
Edit: Does the limit remains unlimited for applications? And is there any additional step(s) required to keep it unlocked similar to the one which was done by running Samsung tools?
thank you for the thread EnderPsp...this is what i was looking for...
i think i dont need to do the 1st step as i am already on 7004 and just got the phone from ATT.
I installed zune 4.8, installed developer sdk from MS, installed the certificate in phone by changing the dates. Now when i connect the phone to pc, and run chevron in admin mode with the phone on home screen and zune running, it opens up, i check the 2 boxed and then it says problem communicating with the device - make sure you are connected via USB, etc etc...i guess this is a common problem but i am unable to find any solution...i tried many times but it shows the same error...
Your help highly appreciated..

Try this:
- install the Samsung drivers from here
- set the date to 1 Oct 2011 and disconnect the PC from internet
- set the same date on the phone and do a hard reset. Re-enter your live id and e-mail (to where you sent the Chevron certificate) and install the certificate, then set the phone to Airplane mode
- reboot and once windows loads don't open any program, and close the ones automatically started (YM, Skype etc)
- connect PC to internet, start Zune and try to unlock in Chevron
Let me know if that works for you. Keep in mind that on a 64 bit OS it might be harder to unlock.

Either of these
- this method
- the developer unlock for $99 or whatever it is these days
- Chevron labs token for $9, but that's not always working (depending on the phone and revision...)
You can always backup first and try this. Worst case scenario you'll revert back.

This guide allows you to unlock, IF you flash. If you are in Mango you can't unlock using this guide unless you do the flash downgrade, but the other 2 methods should work.
You backup from the tool specified in the link and you restore using Zune, as the backup is created to be accessed and used by Zune.
currently flashing 7004 rom from the given link...will post with updates..
im done...now on mango and able to deploy xap's....is there any limit for the number of xap's i can install ?

Just a Curious Question

I have a dev unlocked + interop unlocked LG quantum (did it with apphub through dreamspark for free) and in the MFG menu there are tons of options, I stumbled across one that is strange, can anyone tell me what the values here do: Factory Menu > Engineer Menu > Other Setting > Edit Security Policy. I was just curious, perhaps it has something to do with how secure your phone is, but does anyone know for sure?
Locked but Unlocked?
I had done the MFG Unlock form your post earlier today and completed it fine.
I m having a LG quantum running on Mango, 7.10.7720
I am also having an issue of getting system Crashed regularly (the phone restarts automatically).
Now coming to the case, i unlocked the Phone using MFG tools, and changed the Input data as said.
My Pc is running on windows 7 Ultimate, i have installed
DotNet FX4.5,
Microsoft Blend addons SDK..,
Silverlight,C++ Redistribution,
Windows phone 7 Devoloper resources,
Microsoft Windows phone 7 addon for Visual Studio 2010,
Windows Phone Emulator,
Windows Phone 7.1 Assembler,
WPFtoolkit February 2010,and
Zune
..............
After the Unlock i installed XAPDeployX found on XDA,
and when i try to install a xap, (Filemanager)
i get this:
-----------------
Deployment started Unique File Maneger
Connecting to device...
Deployment FAILED with the following ERROR:
Application launch failed. Ensure that the device screen is unlocked and device is developer unlocked. For details on developer unlock, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=195284.
-----------------
Also I had got another message saying
"The Phone is Devoloper locked!"
I rechecked the values in the Registry, which is as required per the post.
I also tried to email XAP files onto the phones, but its saying Unsupported file
Any chance you can help me out..
my aim is to install 3rd party softwares such as Filemanager, Games, etc from PC.
