Hey Guys I am a complete noob and feel like I have missed too much in the last couple of month. I used to use a HD2 with android, flash it etc. But I got robbed, now its gone. Now I got 2 Omnia 7 instead from t-mobile from Germany (very cheap)
Could you guys tell me if
1st I can unlock the device and how? (Its completely stock, no updates yet)
2nd if and how I can all put back to stock-rom
3rd if and how I can update to full mango (and If i can go back if I want to)
I thank you very much guys!
Merci danke
also i got omnia7 from t-mobile.de =)
You can unlock your device very easy with the Chevron WP7 app IF your device currently w/o updates just stock. You will be able to install any app w/o marketplace.
Unlocking process very easy - you just need to click two times (1 - in your device, 2 - in the Chevron WP7 app)

Hi,
I just "rooted" my T-mobile USA HD7, everything went smooth and dandy. I felt great with my phone joining the league of jailbroken iPhones and rooted Androids. But now, I'm lost now, what can I accomplish with a "rooted" WP7.
Also on a side note, what do you call an WP7 with a new ROM. iPhone was Jailbreak, because it made us free of restraints. Andriod is rooted, becuase the it was Linux based and you had to alter the root of the OS. So what is it
I think according to Microsoft the term is jailbreak... which is exactly why we can't use it.
Can you direct me to the thread you used to root your HD7? Well, in the case of the HD7, I guess it's called jailbreaking
I will be getting mine tomorrow and I would like to have it jailbroke so I can uninstall some of the applications it came with that I don't need (I can do that right??)
Thanks
PS. Jailbreaking is completely different the 'unlocking' correct? Isn't unlocking strictly for sim card purposes? *noob*

Well I unbranded it, and put in a new ROM, I dont know if thats equivalent to rooting/jailbreaking.
Also if you go to your application list and tap & hold the application, then there should be a uninstall option
The great HD2was stolen from me had to settle on the replacement HD7. I gotta get rid of windows 7 on this phone.
bummer
but I doubt they will ever root windows 7. windows phone is locked down. and people on in this forum like the fact that its un customizable. so your probably out of luck buddy. why don't you just trade someone for an hd2. thats what I do
Well yes its locked down. But it wont be forever.
Im sure that at a certain stage some one will hack the HSPL. Then it will be the job to port MAGDLR to HD7
Waiting for that time to come sooonnnnnn!!!! =P=P=P
Wow, yousuf18691... way to necropost a thread from February.
It's already possible (and has been for many months) to put HSPL on the HD7, although if you have the latest set of updates (SPL 5.x) that's currently not working.
As for putting Android on the HD7, first somebody would need to port Android to the HD7, and nobody seems to have done so yet. There's plenty of Android phones if you really want one, though - nobody is holding you at gunpoint and making you buy a Windows phone, I assume.
Hey guys, Purchased an HD7 about 6 months ago to see what WM7 was like, Wasn't a fan at all and used the phone in total for about 48 hours in the space of that time.
The phone looks brand new and is unlocked to use on any carrier.
Looking for £275 for it including next day signed delivery (all original box and items are also included).
Will post pictures as soon as I get the battery charged and upload them tomorrow probably!
What is it you don't like about the phone.. for one its really good and I would suggest you to wait untill the MANGO update as Its got quiet a lot of improvements and the beta really rocks.

If I'm 100% honest I like the idea of it and how it looks (GUI), but the behind the scenes stuff is terrible and the lack of support for the phone makes me feel like a second class user.
I much prefer what Apple and Google have to offer, but WM7 lags behind majorly for the time being, even mango won't keep me interested (Thats why I waited to long to sell, Mango is not what i'd hoped for)
But I have no use for the phone anyway, I have 3 phones now and I got a cheap HD2 recently for messing around with WM7.
You should be posting this in the Marketplace forums.
Good luck with the sale.

I'm in the Uk and I'm only really interested in cash for it (I have enough bloody phones already haha).
HD7 actually have lots of potentials. If you are not satisfyed with WP7 and can't wait, jailbreak it, apply the no-relock patch and upgrade it way up to Mango Beta 2 and you will be impressed by its system-level Facebook and Twitter intergration. (I'm using it and regreted wasting memory installing the original Twitter and Facebook apps since the OS itself is shipped with veeeeeeeery cool support of them. Try have your contact directly binded with their Facebook and Twitter accounts?)
LOL, It's like everyone here wants me to keep it, But you don't understand....
I already own a Dell streak and an Optimus 3D, I have no need for this phone and could use the money!

That's because a lot of people believe in the platform and see its potential, and truly believe it it something great. I know, I do too.
But yes, it may not be everyone's flavor, so you'd probably have better luck selling stuff in the Marketplace section of the forums if you haven't already.
Hi everyone,
I just traded my android phone for an htc hd7 and enjoy it so far. I have read that the official mango update is going to be released soon, possibly Sep. 15th. At this point, should I wait to see if official mango is going to be released soon or should I go ahead and install a mango build from the development section? If I install a build, will the official mango update be able to be done to my phone or would i have to return it to stock?
Sorry about some of the noobish questions, have had many android phones and can figure stuff out pretty easy with them, but wp7 is a completely different beast it seems and it's taking some relearning and a lot of reading.
Hello...
I installed it this morning. Even though the rumored date is tomorrow i think it will be a while before local carriers release it. Not as bad as NoDo though. Also, with the RTM release you wont get all the extra fraff the carriers add.
I'd go for it. Its ace!
I would suggest searching around about how to make a backup of your device before doing anything. Its quite a simple and quick process and very important to do.
Mango is awesome btw! But I would contact your network provider if its a locked device to find out when the update might hit.
I would also recommend installing it. The final build is out and ready. That is what I installed, and since its the official version, I will still be able to update through Zune on updates down the road. Its quite easy, even on mine which was carrier branded. It took less than 30 minutes, not including file download time.
Mango is great by they way. My Sensation with its over clocked processor, custom rom, and extras has already been out away. Now I want some new WP7 hardware to back up the software.
Like the previous poster says, its the release build so why not? You also have to remember that its unlocked which means you can side load, etc. I'd go for it just make sure you have all of your music, pictures, etc sync'd. Even if itdid release tomorrow, does not mean you will get it and BTW, its a simple, no hasle process. Just follow the directions! Good luck.
I held off a long time with updating to 7720 from beta2 for the same reason. Was just gonna wait it out. But I ended up upgrading. Thing is that when I updated to 7720 from 7712(??) I was able to receive the HTC update which has been out a while but was unable to receive since I was on the beta2 and didn't feel like downgrading to nodo but for minimal changes. So using even the Zune beta client which I have I'm led to believe that when the official mango is released by carriers I'm gonna be able to upgrade right from RTM 7720. Just a thought. Did it on both my hd7's soon as updated to 7720 I was able to receive the radio update.

Thanks for all the feedback! I will continue to read up on the process to update it in the meantime and maybe tackle it this weekend if the update doesn't come out by then.
tried flashing to mango..but games seem not to be working. So flash back to the original firmware.maybe i just wait for the official update...
Am a Happy bunny with Mango RTM installed. I feel its not really a point waiting for your carrier updates as such cause WP7 is as closed as apple.
and all HTC will ever do is update its HTC HUB which you can update anyway via market.
so go ahead and do it.
Whatever you choose I hope you enjoy it. I'm tired of waiting for official Mango, going back to Android. I had high hopes but it doesn't feel worthwhile anymore.

You know, I've haunted these forums for a long time with different phones and I've used WM6+, Android 1+, IOS 3+ and a few others and comments like this really piss me off.
WP7 has come a long way in a short amount of time. Is it perfect, of course not but Mango is a major step forward and puts WP7 on par with any other mobile OS. Granted we dont have as many useless apps or the same apps repackaged and there are a few that are just plain missing but its getting there.
BTW, did I mention what a helpful post it was? Not...
I've just flashed my HD7 up to Mango because I know O2 will load it with Yahoo Crap, and it'll likely arrive some time in November if their track record is anything to go by.
Was using a Blackberry Torch until recently, but swapped it out for the HD7. My second phone is a Galaxy-S, and it was my main phone until I got the HD7. Previously I've had various XDAs Mini-S, a TyTn, and a HD2, as well as work phones at various places. The only handset I had issues with was the HD2, though that was more to do with crap O2 messed with firmware than anything else.
Before Mango I would have rated this handset 6/10 for missing features. Now 9/10 as I still can't have OTA Podcasting, and the Battery could be better.
Hello XDA community,
This is my first post on here, yay!
I've been reading XDA a lot in the last 2 years, but never registered and wrote a post. Shame on me!
As most people here, I have a problem. I own this cellphone and recently it hanged on update. I've read here that both AT&T, Samsung and Windows haven't released the stock ROM so I went searching for it on Internet. Came across this site - samsung-file.com, I cannot post a link because of the XDA rules, and wanted to ask you guys about the possible stock ROM.
What do you guys think of it? Might it be the official stock ROM for this model? :fingers-crossed:
If so, it would be great to somehow push/flash it to device. (WP7 Downloader for I937?)
I tried few version of WP7 Downloader and none detected my Samsung Focus S. Probably because these Downloaders were made for certain models?
Anyway, I'm in a great need to restore my cellphone to working condition and I hold my faith in this possible ROM as it seems it is my last hope to get it up and running. Other solution is to send the device for repair... No one wants that...
Cheers!

Hello,
Well what can I tell you the last thing I did with the Samsung Focus S, is take it off from Demo mode. Because mine was a demo phone but now I am using it again. I had bought a Nokia Lumia 1020, but just today the screen shattered after many numerous drops on pavement, gravel, tile and flying of my car once, today it broke just hitting a wooden floor. Go figure. Well so I am back to my Samsung Focus S. I had tried many times looking for a ROM, but it was difficult couldn't find one, I did have many roms for my original Samsung Focus. If you want send me the link to my email [email protected] I can look at it if you want me to. It might help both of us. Right now I am not going to rush into buying a new phone, I've been hearing that the Nokia Lumia 1030 or should I say Microsoft Lumia 1030. I'll just wait and see what happens. on the mean time I'll be playing with my Focus S. One thing I do recommend you is switching to a windows phone 8 but if you can wait, for a Windows phone 10 which I'll be waiting, Even though they announced all windows phone 8 will be upgrading to Windows 10, But I'll wait until everything becomes more concrete, but on a side note, Microsoft stop supporting Windows Phone 7.8 so no apps are being developed, just something to think about. Hope to hear from you.
Hello, do you have some clean backup or restore point? It would help me a lot! I have a paper phone right now...
