yea... i jailbreak ipoo before, did custom ROM on WM5,6.* Droid before. nothing come this complicated as WP7. and that's only downgrade or unbrick the device. u still need to chevron unlock it later or install HSPL/DSPL it later.

very time consuming. can keep u very busy in 3-5 hrs.

market demand, i believe nokia will release their Nokia Drive paid version to others devices.

i dont think they will... there's certain features on Nokia wp7 does not appear on other OEM. guess thats specially for Nokia on the 8billion deal with microsoft.

but with chevron unlock at least we can rip it off from marketplace and sideload to others device.

so RM100 includes custom flash rom as well ?
if just reduce SPL ?

i'd prefer if i could go through the flashing part .
at least learn something .

and the process sounds troublesome "
if permenant bricked cant revert using the goldcard method ?

nope... RM100 only to bring u back to 7004 with SPL1.14. custom ROM installation need another 1 - 2 hrs depend of the internet connection as well.

once the device can boot up and checked the bootloader verion is 7004 and SPL1.* my job is done. the rest... up to u wanna do what with it....

that's good enough.
what is the tendency of bricking the phone ?
and by any chance it could recover ?

easier to say, what's the worst case scenario that could happen ?

yup, WP7 JB flashing rom are more complicated than others, you need alot of patient to get things done.

there's always a risk for both party while doing such unlock and flashing services, user will have to bear for the consequence of bricking.

as long as the device able to go into USB recover mode. the device have a chance to be recover. even half brick device can be recover.

worst case... in the middle of forcing ROM in to the device... TNB cut ya electric without notice or u/friend come kacau and disconnect some cable.

than get really some $$ for new device..

"
if cant on, send for warranty cannot ar ?
cause fulat said no way they could detect it if it is bcos of custom flashing .
we'll just say that it happened during upgrade firmware or something

u can try

would love to know what sis will do with ur device as well haha

then do it mate .
if it works, i'd be glad to give it a try .
anyway, is your phone bricked already?

Chevron Labs 'jailbreak' should be much easier if you're willing to part with RM30.

No M'sia Marketplace means WP7 will be useless for a big majority of consumers. I can't always go to another country to buy a decent WP7.


No need to believe, Nokia has unofficially announced that they would (through Twitter)

correct me if im wrong, aren't that chevron lab unable to sideload M$ Signed apps??

u wanna try yours see can claim warranty or not?

not brick... just cant go back to USB mode. cant charge only.

running custom ROM compare ChevronLabs are so much different.

why cant u go other marketplace purchase your apps? u dont need to travel there. just link ya credit card with ya live account then thats it. it will be charge thru ya credit card. no hassel at all.

i would suggest you read the below.

yeap.. microsoft already slowly converting more secure signed app. some Xbox games are no longer running on custom ROM. and only custom ROM which can run MicroSoft signed app now is DFT V2.

I thought part of the MS/Nokia deal was to give MS access to the maps...? Why are we supposed to pay for it then? And... why should we? There is already Bing Maps, also an inofficial Google Maps app, ... all for free. Am I missing something?

google map , bing map you need data connection. nokia drive can allow you to download whole malaysia map and navigate offline.

yes. thats the deal.

Nokia will provide mapping, navigation, and location-based services. Presumably, these will use technology from Navteq, which Nokia bought in 2007 for more than $8 billion. which will save Bing from develope a new one to against gMap

mean time

Microsoft will provide Bing search services "across the Nokia portfolio" -- in other words, not just to Windows Phones.

but the deal also allow Nokia will launch its own Nokia-branded app marketplace built on the Windows Phone Marketplace platform. this indicate that it will be like other OEM manufacturer that only Nokia device can use those Nokia-branded apps in their own marketplace. its just like now, Samsung device will never appear HTC Hub in their device's marketplace.

Drive yes, but Maps? That's what they want to sell to non-Nokia owners, right? So I wonder what the advantage is... why I should pay. Drive I'll gladly pay for (given it's not too expensive, I also have a Garmin so I don't necessarily need it).

Google had to map all the roads in the world themselves in order to offer Google Maps Navigation (part of the job of the StreetView cars must have been to collect the necessary data), otherwise they would have to enter a licensing agreement Navteq or TeleAtlas which allows turn by turn navigation. Microsoft obviously couldn't be bothered/it makes more sense for them to enter an agreement with Navteq (Nokia) to get the data. I suppose. Or perhaps it's just an agreement to use the data as they currently use maps in Bing Maps, that would mean no turn by turn navigation.

I think Nokia could at least get a slightly basic version with lots of branding into WP7 itself (the full Nokia exclusive version could have 3D buildings etc.), and get paid for it by MS. I mean, you turn on your Samsung phone, and there is a huge NOKIA branding when you start the Drive app, also while you use it. Free ads basically, maybe the next phone then will be a Nokia? Of course the manufacturers could chose not to include Drive then, but who wants a phone without a good free satnav?
