Simplest Guide to Jailbreak and Developer Unlock Samsung Focus or Omnia 7 Windows Phone

We are all aware of the advantages of flashing custom ROMs over stock, especially when your phone comes with carrier branding. We have a similar case with the AT&T Samsung Focus which is a Windows Phone 7 device. Well fret no more, we have finally found the simplest and safest process to jailbreaking the Samsung Focus.

Samsung launched Focus in 2 different REV versionsL 1.3 REV and 1.4 REV. You can determine your device’s REV version by removing the battery, it should be mentioned on your device. If not, look carefully! :)

The process is bit similar to the one we used to flash custom WP 6.1 / 6.5 roms in HTC Diamond or HTD HD2. If you are one of those old school geeks, following process is nothing but few clicks and taps.

What we need:

1. Samsung mobile USB drivers [download link]
2. Microsoft Zune Installed and Synced properly with your phone.
3. PC with Hi-speed internet connection or you can wait for a century…
4. Samsung Focus / Omnia 7 [We are using Focus]

The HOW-TO:

We need to flash MAGLDR on your device now – trust me, its easy:

• Download the MAGLDR installer from here [link at the bottom of the first post]
• Extract the file and open it.
• Put your phone into the download mode by switching it off completely and then press and hold POWER + VOL UP + CAMERA.
• Once you see that exclamation mark in the yellow triangle on your phone’ screen, connect your device to PC via USB cable.
• Wait for the drivers to initialize, once it is done keep hitting next.
• You’ll be notified by a congratulations message and your phone will reboot automatically.

Flashing Rom:

• Download any ROM you want to flash on your device from here.
• Launch MAGLDR by switching off your device. Press and hold POWER + VOL DOWN + CAMERA, a screen will appear asking you to format, just go back using your device’s soft key.
• Connect your device to PC via USB cable. Let the drivers reinitialize, USB text will become GREEN on your device screen when it’s ready.
