Update to NoDo and still have Chevron Unlocked! - HD7 General

For those who are still not aware, guys “We can have our cake and eat it” I mean you can now update to NoDo and still have your HD7 chevron unlocked so that you can continue to side load homebrew apps!
Here's what you need to do before updating to NoDo big thanks to chris5105077 just follow his steps in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12419841&postcount=1
As stated in that post for this hack to work the NoDo update must be initiated via zune but as you all know not all of us are getting the NoDo prompt on zune however thanks to dawnrazr’s discovery posted in Samsung Omnia 7 thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12453408&postcount=1 one can force the NoDo update through, no need to wait!
Thanks to Bonebreaker there is even a detailed step by step guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012189
P.S. Like me if you have already updated to NoDo either via zune or you have flashed one of several leaked NoDo ROM’s from here all you have to do is just revert back to your previous ROM or restore back via zune just like I did here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12485354&postcount=70
It's nice to have the NoDo update and still be able to side load homebrew apps!

chevron wp7 unlock after nodo?

Hi
I'm using tmobile hd7 and successfully flashed a Telstra nodo rom, however I am missing my custom ringtones notificatons and homebrew apps, has anyone been able to unlock after nodo?
MS made it clear that NoDo will patch the security flaw that was exploited by the chevron team. So for now there is no hack after NoDo. But its all a matter of time before a hack comes from someone. Hopefuuly its sooner than later as i do miss the custom ringtones and registry hacks.
Microsoft should just allow free XAP files to be put on phones...
just put security checks in to safeguard files that are paid for on the market place should be nothing too hard for Microsoft to do...
But Im loving NoDo and my hacks that I done before are still there just cant edit them after now...
Like the **it Yahoo search page on IE and some custom colours
There is a way to have NoDo and still have your phone unlocked. But you have to unlock it at pre-Nodo (7004 or 7008) and then wait for your official update throught Zune. Here is the thread:

how can i sure that my HD7 is unlock???
I have two HD7 both were unlocked with Chevron, I flashed one with the Telstra rom and the unlock with all my apps were gone. But the other one with official nodo from t-mobile kept the apps and the unlock. So I can confirm that you need to unlock before nodo to keep the unlock.

The phone were unlocked before pre-nodo, don't know if that makes a different.

+1, unlocked and nodo, working perfectly.
You must reflash your phone with a old Shopping Rom without nodo, now patch with nodo and use nodo patch from Forum. Now you can make update with zune and you will not lose your patched phone pn ME tomorrow and will give you needed Files when you not found that

Nodo unlock! 100% sure!!

ORIGINAL FROM http://www.qdppc.com/thread-56272-1-3.html
BE CAREFUL! most people cannot receive update from zune! the hacking only works via zune nodo update!!!
1。before official update to NODO(through zune),unlock and edit register to prevent it from relock.
2.after update, you will find the unlock still exist。
I'M A CHINESE.I hope my experience can help all WP7 fans. If this thread help you,It's my pleasure.
detail steps:
1. flash a 7004 or 7008 rom,than used chevronWP7.cer and chevronWP7.EXE to unlock your WP7.
2. After UNLOCK! (this is the easy way to edit your registry)
for HTC down zip in #11 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009974 AND rename it to XXXXXX.XAP, use it to prevent relocking.
3.after all, if you are lucky, you can receive the update VIA zune, once i reflashing my phone, I cannot find the update from zune anymore. I am so angry with the carrier and MS. After you update to nodo, you will find your phone is still unlock and enjoy it!
GOOD LUCK FOR EVERY one.
and this is evidence of jailbreaking of NODO. http://www.qdppc.com/forum.php?mod=v...authorid=34993
the only problem is most people cannot receive NODO UPDATE FROM ZUNE.
SOMEONE CAN FIND A METHOED TO GET THE ZUNE NODO UPDATE PLEASE HELP ME!

Cannot confirm if it works, because if you do this you will not get NoDo update anymore, so you can have one or another (NoDo or jailbreak) I think.

[Q] How to Downgrade from 7390 To 7004 or 7008?

How to Downgrade from 7390 To 7004 or 7008?
same question here ..
try to find in zune software>setting>phone>update
if it can Downgrade it will show u.
if not the only way is flash ROM.
check your phone CID and then download ansar's rom in Windows 7 development section of this forum.
I did it many times when I want to test my HD7.
Cheers.

Connect your phone to your PC, enter Zune and go into Settings->Phone->Update and hit the restore button.
Flash back to a Stock ROM for your device & carrier then you will get the Pre NoDo update option when connected to Zune. I flashed back to get official O2 UK NoDo after having used the EUR NoDo for a few weeks until the update was available on O2.

i w ying to load the 7390 rom and you guys want to go backwords..... cool.....
how did you get the 7390 ROM???? can share the secret???
Check the HD7 Development thread. There are a few NoDo ROMs in there. I flashed EUR NoDo using petbedes method. You'll find the thread 2 below this one. "How to Flash NoDo without a Gold Card".

[Q] what ROM will allow me to go back to origional software and update from zune?

Somehow my backup from premango got lost... i have no idea and im past that ....
I am running a locked HD7 from Tmobile using 7712 which I update through zune. I want to get back to a stock ROM so when Mango is released over zune I will be able to get it over zune. Where do I go from here?
BTW... on the update tab on zune, all it says is that my phone is up to date and there is no button there that says "restore".
Use RSPL to put your phone into a state where you can flash any ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Then flash this ROM (seems to be the most recent T-Mobile one - Build 7392):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183891
I don't know if there are any generic US ROMs that you could use. It would get rid of any T-Mobile branding, but I don't think it would unlock it for you.
Alternately, you could follow one of the many guides that will let you update 7712 to 7720 (RTM). The RTM should receive official updates from HTC once they've release their official Mango firmware.
Currently I am at 7712 and locked. How would I get to 7720 RTM and be unlocked? I saw that in the link you posted if you are currently unlocked you can stay unlocked when going to 7720 but you have to be previously unlocked. So what ROM should I flash to in order to unlock my phone? And then move along to 7720?

Are you talking about a carrier lock or a developer lock? I don't believe flashing any ROM will remove a carrier lock. You usually have to pay to get a code and unlock it that way, though I could easily be wrong. Hopefully someone else can clarify.
When I say locked I mean the opposite of a chevron unlock. So im not able to side load apps
You can flash one of ansar's Custom ROMs that is all unlocked by default.
Or you can go back to 7392/7390 and apply Chevron by yourself. You can follow this thread to keep all unlocked during updates and reach finally 7720.
Or you can stay at 7392 (locked/unlocked) and wait for official Mango.
Regards,
Cina.
If I start with ansar's ROM will I be able to follow that (staying unlocked) to RTM Mango?

Downgrade SPL 5.X (NO_DO Zune No_Do Restore or any Restore below 7720 Needed)

Verified on HTC HD7 3 Times (Does not Work for Half Bricked Devices)
Prerequisite: Zune No_Do Restore or any Restore below 7720 .
STEPS:
=====
1) Restore to No_Do restore point via Zune. (Won't downgrade SPL 5.X)
2) Connect phone to Zune and Updates 7.0.7392.0 and 7.0.7403 will be installed on ur phone.
3) The third update will be mango update, install it and once done SPL will be Changed to 4.X
NOTE:
After Mango update, while phone reboots, it will reboot twice, one for downgrading SPL and another to load Mango on ur phone.
DETAILED EXPLANATION (It is not Rocket Science)
====================
1) When you upgrade to MANGO (7720), SPL changes to 4.X followed by the HTC Update that changes SPL to 5.X
2) Restoring to NO DO or any other update (7392, 7403) does not change SPL 5.X, but the fact Remains that you have a Phone that can be upgraded via Zune.
3) Conscidering that we retored to No Do via Zune and SPL still being 5.X, We start upgrading and we get Update 7392 and 7403.
4) Next update is Mango (7720) [Zune does not change SPL but the Update installation does, especiallt 7720 and HTC Firmware update].
5) Since Zune is not supported to check or Downgrade the SPL, when the Mango Update happens on the phone with SPL 5.X, The update changes SPL to 4.X "Phone reboots twice after the update is applied one for changing SPl and other for loading Mango".
6) Next come HTC Firmware Update, if u apply tht too, u again endup with SPL 5.X, so u have to Stop after Mango Update and Then you can follow the below thread to flash Custom or Branded roms.

Wait me
if we don't have a no-do restore point, there is no way of getting it back?
sorry to ask such a dumb question.. but how do I know what is my SPL version?? and how do I downgrade to No_Do?
My bootloader version is 4.5.2250.0 .. but still Im unable to flash with a new ROM, as the task 00 fails on my HTC HD7 T9292, I have a windows 7 64 bit OS. It shows RUU is incompatible with my device,
I followed all the steps on the given thread, but the flash was unsuccessful, couldn't downgrade OSPL, or install RSPL or HSPL(that is required to get a new ROM rite??)..

Can't we copy some files from someone else and make Zune think that we have the NoDo restore point? (Because I don't have the NoDo restore on my computer)

New firmware Update changes SPL to 5.X (Verified on HTC HD7 3 times)
Solution (Steps)
=============
1) Restore via Zune to earlier Restore point "No do", but will not change SPL below 5.X
2) Go through update process Via zune, u will get updates "7.0.7392.0" , "7.0.7403" and the last one will be Mango Update which will follow the Firmware update (that changes the SPL to 5.X)
3) Stop after Mango update is Finished SPL will be 4.X
4) Follow the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1295068)

No worries, I am glad you posted what you did... hopefully others won't do what I did. I was not to worried about it till tonight. I re-did my contract and no longer have an unlimited plan. Now the deal works like this a 512 data plan, a 2GB, a 5GB plan, a 10GB plan.. it's now cheaper to go with Sprint from what I can tell. I like my Radar... better camera, faster storage, faster data, better battery life, but the data plan sucks.. give me 4G (Even though it is fake 4G) then charge me to actually enjoy it! WTF!!!!!!!!!!
