Apparently HTC seems to be releasing its own firmware updates for WP7 following NODO update by MS
http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/2011/04/06/htc-releasing-new-wp7-update/
There is rumour that CHevron unlocked phones could brick or create problems with the update although some Dev's with chevron unlocked phones haven't had and issues so far.
But on the plus point most of the chevron unlocked phones seem to be getting this update first
It seems this will sort out the hardware aspect of HTC phones to work better with NODO and future MS updatess
And as usual you will be at the mercy of the Networks to receive the update unless you have a sim free unbranded phone.
I have the NODO update (via goldcard and then offical 89->90 update). But have not seen the HTC update (unbranded SIM unlocked phone).

Hello guys,
I have the European Rom with NoDo update and until now nothing appears in Zune regarding this HTC update.
(Unbranded SIM unlocked phone)
Thanks,
Santos
I did get the HTC update and it broke the camera (couldn't save picture) and twitter / seesmic won't update tweets.
Lets undo nodo....what say...?? Its creating more trouble than solving it...am seriously thinking oral a roll back..
My nodo has been flawless, as are 10 other co-worker phones I've updated. Longer battery, faster load times, c&p, marketplace improvements.
All good here.
Except fir the few other fixes I was hoping MS would've addressed with NoDo, I really like this update. The only problem fir me is the battery life. It looks like its draining faster than pre-NoDo. Could be my usage too. But overall very happy with the update.

I don't think the nodo update is the problem. Hopefully HTC gets it together and sends out a proper update.

I got this infamous HTC update and, if not bricking, I honestly think it does something to NoDo unlocked handsets. Since I've done it, I got no access thru Zune to the Marketplace applications (unless I use the registry trick), big point is that I always had access to it until I've installed the update and i'm in Belgium, country where Marketplace is allowed by default (BE). Have to reinstall anyway my work laptop, so I'll see what it gives after if I return back to 7008 than upgrade the all thing the "legal way", than once again do it, but with unlocking first. Will post my results.
Roll Back to pre-Nodo
I got fed up with waiting for the Nodo update and used the disconnect trick to get updated.
I had not received the HTC Update.
I have now rolled back to pre-nodo and immediately got offered nodo, it also states thta it includes a HTC device update. It's gonna take forever to update as my card's pretty full so I'll come back if I get offered a further update. It seems possbile though that it might be rolled up together in the one update.
Ok, update finally finished, no apparent colour banding on my HD7.
Firmware: 2250.09.16901.707
Radio: Software: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

What news bring the update?

Nodo flawless for me on my hd7
Ive used chevron to get NoDo and im having ALOT of trouble getting this update
Worked fine on my HD7. Got pre-NoDo via Zune, flashed NoDo with Chevron and got the HTC-Update 2 days later - without any problems.
Well, I flashed via Chevron because o2 Germany was very late with pushing the pre NoDo and NoDo. Now it is available.
I flashed back to 7004 with an o2-Rom from here and got the instant notification of the pre-NoDo afterwards. Currently flashing official NoDo as I'm typing.
I guess it is the best way to go through this process if you have problems with the HTC-update after Chevron.
Initially I tried quick wireless disconnect to get NoDo update last March 31 - my phone has color banding.
Last night, reverted back to pre-NoDo 7.0.7008 and immediately got notification for an update - Confirmed no color banding for 7.0.7008
After going through the normal NoDo update again (just single update, no separate HTC update), I got color banding again!
Same FW and HW revisions when i used quick wireless disconnect and normal updating methods:
Model: hd7 t9292 OS Version: 7.0.7390.0
FW rev ver number: 2250.09.16901.728
HW rev num: 0002
Radio SW ver: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
radio HW: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader version: 1.69.2250.0(117833)
chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
Color banding can be seen using WP Bench, and some apps' backgrounds like Tech News Now and Messenger By Miyowa
Do you get a notification on your phone for this HTC update like you do for official nodo (or other updates) or is it just luck of the drwa, plug into zune to check?

I got my HD7 T9292 last week. Via Zune, I immediately got the pre NoDo update followed by the NoDo update. I did not take a screen shot but I am fairly certain that at the bottom of the list of improvements in Zune was "HTC Update".
This leads me to believe that the HTC pushed update that persons who used the Chevron Hack reported receiving, resulted from them not having received it bundled with the official NoDo update as they should have. I suspect that they got nothing extra, they got it late.

I got an update on my O2 UK HD7 about 3 days ago.
My OS Version is now 7.0.7008.0
Was that NoDo ?
How can I tell ?
I certainly don't seem to have copy/paste.
Cheers.
No it not NODO
It was an update to update the updater
Nodo will be probably roll out hopeful this month and have the copy and paste
It was an update to make room for NoDo update
It did update sending picture messages for those of you who weren't unable to do it
NoDo is supposed to be rolling out for O2-UK devices today. No sign of it yet, though.
@ breed, if you got the 7008 update, force the other thru Zune...

Hi, i've got an unbranded hd7 on european operator "virgin mobile".
When i had 7008 update i couldn't wait for official Nodo update so i tried "install Nodo without goldcard", it worked very well...and when official Nodo was released i made the update from Zune...
Now i'm really interested in jailbreaking my phone but Zune just offers to downgrade to the unofficial Nodo "7.0.7389" version...
Will i stay in deep ignorance or is there any genius here to help me go back to 7008 version?
In fact the real question is : how to flash a 7008 HD7 rom without goldcard...?
I SOLVED MY PROB MYSELF...NO NEED ANYTHING BUT A PC AND A ROM.EXE
THANKS FOR ALL
Hi
I have bought a used HTC HD7 for about $330 in India. I love this phone, its so cool.
It shows O2 splash screen when it starts. I am using Vodafone Indian sim.
OS Ver: 7.0.7392.0
FW: 2250.09.16901.206
My questions:
1. How can I check if my phone was unlocked by Chevron or something else?
2. If I update my phone via Zune, will it re-lock again?
3. Any possibility to disable the 'Bing Search' button on the phone or reassign it with another app?
Thanks
Mani

I dont think that OS version can be unlocked but its mad easy to unlock it go to the hd7 forum flash a pre NODO rom there should be instructions on the post then go to the how to chevron unlock forum do that and it also tells you how to prevent relocking so you can update back to NODO but when i update all teh way to the mango beta it relocks idk if this only happens to me tho
PLEASE-- someone tell me how can I know if my phone was unlocked by operator or jailbroken?
I bought it used from grey market. It shows O2 UK splash screen when it starts but is working fine on my Vodafone India sim. I can install apss from Zune too.
OS Ver: 7.0.7392.0

Jailbroken!=Unlock. You said it shows o2 uk splashscreen and yet your vodafone sim card works in it, so it is unlocked. You cannot unlock your phone with jailbreak, you can just sideload apps (chevron unlock)
2>Your phone will not relock if you update (If you are talking about network lock)
3>As of now, no
as far as i read this topic...
unlock is different from jailbreak....
ur phone isn't jailbreaked(chevroned)...but it's unlocked...
jailbreaking give u option to install cracked software and there is no need to install app just through market place...u can install apps through pc...(no market place...)
if u want to jailbreak ur phone u need to restore u phones ver to 7008...and then u can jailbreak it...(updating to 7392 will make ur jailbreak gone...)
Thanks rhn and mido-mido.
I am glad that my HD7 will not 'network re-lock' when it updates to Mango. Hoping to get Mango update soon.

Thanks but I would wait for the official update. I have had some bad experiences in the past with custom roms. My facebook and gmail accounts were hacked after I updated my Samsung phone with a custom rom last year.
So I stay away from them unless its too important.

7712 is considered beta rtm should be 7720
Just received mine, it's a performance update...I'll post what was fixed. Read more here http://www.wpcentral.com/t-mo-radar-and-hd7-getting-update-tomorrow
someone needs to capture it as a cab so we can load it without having to go thru the 5.1 OSPL again
One thing it did NOT do was update to 7740.16.. I am still at 7720.68 after the update.
But.. it did bring Visual Voicemail back.
Said it would do Internet Sharing, but this worked for me before the update and thank God after as well so no big difference there..
Just one major question, does new update put the phone to spl 4.xx or 5.xx?
This update doesn't fix my biggest problem, Visual Voice Mail ALWAYS playing through speaker, regardless of what I do... Have any of you run into this and fixed it?

Interesting. Mine is 2250.21.51004.401 after the upgrade.
Oops - forget that, mine is generic, not T-Mobile.
latest update
One thing it has fixed is the lockscreen relock/lock issue. Now, when I lock my phone, it locks and the lockscreen doesnt reappear. Also I havent seen the green flash with timeouts come back either.
