[Q] Chevron Unlocking

Hi, I just recently bought a HD7 and I'm new to the Windows Phone OS.
I'm curious on "Chevron Unlocking" my HD7.
My current system is "7390"
Am I able to Chevron unlock my phone, or is it too late?
If I can still, could someone guide me the way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, as of now, no unlocking method exists for 7390 firmware, but some people are working on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078007
If you want your device unlocked, you need to flash a 7004/7008 rom, after which you can apply the chevron hack. You can find the rom in the hd7 rom development forum.
After you downgrade to 7004,you have to use the prevent unlock xap, after which you can update to 7392 in the unlocked state

How can I tell which ROM is 7004 or 7008? All the ROMs in the ROM section all have ROMs have a bunch of numbers. Can you guide me which one will fit me? My carrier is T-Mobile USA

Bootloader locked or unlocked ?

How do i see on my Nexus One if my bootloader is locked or unlocked ??
I am newbie on Nexus G1 - sorry.
thanks by spirotop

Hi,
You will see an unlocked icon at boot.
Like this: static.arstechnica.com/N1_unlock.png
Sorry, can't post link yet.
What do you need to do ?
Flash a custom rom ? Don't need unlocked bootloader for that now (unless you are in 2.3.4)
Re-lock bootloader to sell phone ? You can't.

I don't see any icon at boot. I have installed Mark Denver's ROM 2.3.5.

Well if you don't see the unlocked pad lock at the splash screen that means your bootloader is locked. And just so you know you can do almost everything with only root access you don't need an unlocked bootloader.

[Q] Official Update after Bootlaoder unlock?

I have read that Sony Phones wont be able to update via OTA update once the bootloader is unlocked. I just got my HTC One and since i dont want to loose all my data, I want to unlock the bootloader right now. Will I still be able to receive the OTA 4.2 update for the one once my bootlader is unlocked?
I dont have experience with locked bootloaders as my previous phone was an old samsung that came with bootloader unlocked(not anymore).
Thanks for the help in advance.

If you have the bootloader unlocked, you will not receive the OTA.
P.s. If you will unlock your bootloader, you will lose all your data

Thank You

how to flash 139.12.35.ghost_row.nll.en.mx

Hi folks,
I'm kinda new to android world so bare with me please. I got this moto x on ebay which is categorized as Unlocked. I live in the middle east and the phone works just fine except for the mobile network "3G nor LTE". I realized the phone comes from Mexico with software version "139.12.35.ghost_row.nll.en.mx" so, Is there anyway to flash it to some other unlocked carrier in any part of the world and upgrade it to Kitkat? coz it runs Android 4.2.2 . I'm thinking,et maybe by upgrading or shifting to other carrier, mobile network will work.

Is your phone model xt1053 right ? Then, you can install T-mobile 4.4 rom. Using this rom u can use 2g/3g/Lte without any problems and..... no bloatware, good signal etc.
If u want to flash, u need to open ur bootloader first.

Yes, you should be seeing a "enter code" sim lock screen. T-mobile uses a unlock app. if your phone was unlocked before on t-mobile it can be unlocked after you flash back to t-mobile firmware.(and may need to run the unlock app).
I have gone back and fort on 2 of my SM-G920T phones between t-mobile and other firmware including the metro PCS SM-G920T1 one so it should work to go back.
Sounds like you need to re-download the stock t-mobile firmware and flash in odin.

99% sure will be locked again once you go back to t-mobile as they use an app to authenticate.

If it was unlocked before on t-mobile you should be good. most you would need to do is run the t-mobile unlock app. just make sure you have a twrp backup just in case you need to go back to the rom that is working.
