1. If you are not careful, you could flash a new firmware and brick your phone. Not all firmwares work on all phones. New firmwares will be made available via official microsoft updates. I`d recommend you don`t try and flash new firmwares yourself manually unless you know exactly what youre doing.
2. Not without jailbreaking your phone. Look at Chevron WP7.
3. Phones are "branded" with their carriers logo i.e. tmobile. You`ll see that in the splash screen when you reboot your phone. Its completley normal.
4. See 3. If you buy a sim free phone (i.e. not via a carrier) then it will be unbranded. they function in exactly the same way as branded phones, just without the carriers splash screen at bootup.
5. No. Wp7 doesn`t allow the shell to be replaced like in WM 6.5
6. tmous=keyboard layout, telstra=carrier ,Schubert=code name for HD7, CID (carrier id?).
you sound like someone who likes to "play". Be careful and remember that if it aint broke, don`t fix it. Flashing new firmwares can be dangerous and potentially kill your phone. You are much better off waiting for official MS updates.

1.Not sure about it, I use T-Mobile in Asia with flash unbrand rom (Europe 1.60.401.01 - Radio 5.52.09.16 22.33a.50.10U) it's work like charm and os can be update to 7.0.7008.
2.Use Tom XAP Installer or Windows Phone deployment with Chevron unlock tool.
3.Brand mean that phone is come from carrier with carrier operator logo.
4.Brand rom will be customize something like radio channel frequency to made it compatible with their carrier.
5.MS not allow any OEM to customize their OS ,so.. we can't see sense on HD7 right now yet.
6.Go to visit HD7 Windows Phone 7 Development section ,that's good for you to start.

thanks to you my friends

Htc rolling out own firmware post nodo!!!

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).
Gordon.

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.

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.

[Q] HD7 Still on RTM Mango?

I flashed my phone to the RTM build of Mango using HSPL/RSPL before it went official. I am still waiting to get notified of the official version from Zune. Is anyone else still waiting too? Is there anyway to force a 7720 -> 7720 update?
I'm also official dev unlocked.

it isn't? hmm.
well, only way then would to be to either...
flash the Mango RUU or a pre-Mango RUU and upgrade through Zune.
link to either Shipped ROM can be found in my signature.

I have the same problem as you.. And still waiting. I tried some times with the little disconnect trick, but couldn't make it..

T-Mobile USA HD7 Update

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.

8107 update has started

Just got an update. Unlocked Omnia 7

If you have unlocked your phone, check the value here:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOpe rator="Your carrier name should be here"

Yes, it is unlocked. Value type is "String" and value data is "000-88". Value name is "MobileOperator"

Also received update 1 hour ago... Unlocked device.

Just updated to 8107.79 as well (via Zune, normally, without early disconnection trick or anything):
Omnia 7 ex-TMobile UK branded, SIM locked, unbranded, running on T-Mobile UK
Then I injected latest KK2 firmware for unbranded devices with WP7 Cab Sender, bumping the firmware version to 2424.11.11.2 (from 2424.11.11.1) and bootloader to 5.11.1.8 (from 5.11.0.3). Radio remained unchanged on 2424.11.9.1 version.
The device feels as if it has been reseted, speedier and got about 30 MB more of space.
Under settings->mobile network, the 3G toggle has been substituted with a drop down list named ''Highest connection speed'' with two options: ''E'' (Edge I suppose), and ''3G''. I prefered the toggle.
Internet Sharing is still there and works (although UserProcGroup has been set to 20 from 5, allowing 20 simultaneous connections?), homebrew still work, remained dev unlocked and interop unlocked.

Nothing on my Orange UK branded phone which says 7.10 (7740) o_o
A question that isn't something I could find a definitive answer to... is it possible to flash unbranded firmware and remain officially supported by WinPho with future updates? The phone itself is SIM unlocked as I'm on T-Mobile but everything else is locked up tight thanks to Orange. I'm considering unlocking for homebrew stuff at a later time after missing out on the Chevron unlock.

Yes, of course you will still get updates if you flash a branded phone to a unbranded firmware. I flashed a 3 mobile phone with unbranded and have received all the updates quicker than if I hadn't.
The only support you will lose is from your carrier, for example if there was a fault they probably wouldn't accept it for repair because you flashed it. Tiny chance you'd ever have to worry about that and you can always flash back to your original firmware if I'm not mistaken....
I'm sure someone will correct me if required

Good to know, I will try when I go home

At least in my case, you CAN, but they changed the onn/off toggle with a GPRS/3G list.

it didn't change in mine maybe it's because i'm not uk version

I have not received the 8107 update, so I updated with the CAB. Now the phone shows
PDA: I8700XXKK2
Phone: I8700XXKI1
CSC: I8700XEHJK4
Is it normal that PDA and Phone firmware are different or did I do something wrong?
Also the CSC XEH looks like a phone from Hungary. A little strange, since I am in Germany and I got the phone directly from Microsoft. Does it make sense to change this?

Hi Osso17,
A couple of not-so-silly questions (I hope) from a novice:
- I have an Omnia 7 branded on the Optus (Australia) network. I didn't get the samsung components as part of the 8107 update. Should I have?
- Is it okay to apply the samsung components (unbranded) to an Optus branded device? Will this "walsh" my phone?

Hi....this Samsung update (KK2) is only for Omnia 7 no-brand and you can not receive......Have Optus brand and it is better to do the firmware updates only for your brand

I have just received the update and when I tried to update to 8107, Zune give me an error, 80180008.
Any idea how to solve this?
