i just bought my hd7 got it in the mail unlocked it is originally t-mobile but i am using it on att, all i want to do is update it to mango and it is currently on "OS version 7.0.7390.0"
my question is if i update it will i loose my unlock and have to figure out how to unlock it myself?
ii have searched the forums and have not found this question
ok
it looks like you are talking about unlock sim??
if you are then updating the rom wont lock sim again.
keep in mind that if you update rom , that will also update hspl and will be a little harder to install custom rom.
if you can you are better off installing custom hspl and then custom rom
cheers and have a gr8 day
thanks button is next to qoute button
so your saying if i update threw zune i can still use my phone and it wont lock again, im no concerned with flashing a rom i just want everything to be stock and run mango. i dont know if its unlock sim or anything all i know from my research is that its nodo.
wp7 flashing and stuff is so much harder than my android device sheesh
hi Tchem
yes you can update threw zune, and it will not lock your sim.
cheers and have a gr8 day

Hi, yes it will stay unlocked for good . You can however relock it if you wish to do so in future.
Fellow Chevron Jailbreakers,
I just updated to nodo from ruu tmous (thank you football) and found my hd7 unlocked (shows AT&T and tmobile in apn.
In any case I AM NOT jail broken aka chevron yet. Want to know what are you able to do and not do, specifically:
1. Will using chevron give option to send videos via mms or email?
2. Will using chevron give option to get better photo apps?
3. Will using Chevron give option to access marketplace?
4. I'm on nodo and according to some I don't need to downgrade below nodo to jailbreak?
Thank you for your help!

If you have updated to No Do, Chevron will not work.

If you have a pre No Do backup in Zune, you can. If not, download a pre No Do rom from XDA and flash it via the bootloader. To get into bootloader, hold down power button and volume down button at the same time until you see the multi colored screen, then flash the pre No Do rom using the rom update utility. Flashing this way does not require Zune software to be running. After you flash the pre No Do rom, you can then Chevron unlock your phone by following the unlocking threads. To make sure it stays unlocked, make sure to install the unlockit xap before upgrading to No Do.
I didn't install the unlockit xap before upgrading and my HD7 was relocked after I upgraded to No Do and I had to reflash again to Chevron unlock my phone
Thank you Trucker.
Ok my nodo update now i can't hear callers so I'm going back to PRE NODO.
I do have the RUU and thank you for the instructions.
After I go to PRE NODO, do you know where the updated Cheveron steps with the unlockit xap instructions are? There are so many threads and some of them are outdated (must have gold card, etc).
I am looking for the chevron instructions most recent one so i don't have to go trying to find a gold card
Thank you
Okay Im seriously in the brink of throwing my phone to the garbage. I really got hooked on HD7 cuz of the commercials. I had a blackberry and a my touch3g before HD7. There are tons of features missing like custom ringtones and I would at least would love to have that on my HD7. Don't get me wrong I sorta like my phone and all but key features are lacking. Is there some way to have them enabled? I have the NODO update released by Tmobile. Or a ROM I can install to my HD7?
Also any word on the Andoid OS development on HD7?
PS. Is there any tutorial on how to flash the ROM or hack?

NOTE: You need to Unlock your device...
... I have googled it before posting this thread but apparently chevron does not work with the NODO or am I wrong?
Yes chevron doesnt work with NODO!

Chevron your phone, apply the fix to stop it re-locking, then apply the NoDo update and it remains unlocked.

Exactly what i did. I had NoDo with locked phone, Flashed a 7008 Rom, locked the phone, prevented it from Relocking and then applied NoDo. My phone's now on NoDo and still unlocked.
Hum that i didnt know, thank you for the info ;-)

im trying to figure out of to flash a new rom to my hd7. I see that ive got to downgrade my bootloader to 4 etc.. but i dont think ive got the backup of nodo. Also do i need a pin unlock or chevron unlock?
Downgrading spl to 4.x would be needed. Dangerous though. Follow directions on here to a "T" or else you could end up with an expensive paper weight.
After downgrading spl, Install HSPL, this puts a custom SPL allowing for custom roms. After HSPL is installed you could flash any rom you want. Pin or chevron unlock is not needed. All custom roms for hd7 come chevron and interop unlocked.

see the tutorial i wrote. link in my signature.
easiest and least complicated and least time consuming way is by flashing a Custom ROM.
So,
Here is what happened, I've got an HD7 that has been laying around my office for months, it was actually never used and it has never been updated.
Unfortunately I lost my previous phone and I decided to use that one, but... It was carrier locked to T-Mobile and I did not want to either purchase or beg t-mobile for a code.
Next thing I did was to carefully read every post I could find regarding HD7 carrier unlocking and found myself with only one option: Install a custom ROM on my phone.
The phone had the SPL 1.20 so I decided to install Cotulla's HSPL and then install a Custom ROM, but it failed twice to flash the device, once at 20% and then at 80%.
Right now the Phone goes right into the bootloader screen (It does show cotulla's HSPL as installed) after a short load atempt (obviously the OS is only partially installed).
Im looking forward to get advise on how to install the custom ROM and what I might be doing wrong.

well if you can get to the bootloader screen...why don't you install a custom ROM using Task29 ?? that should work...
Well, I tried to install the factory ROM but it fails as well, it always gets stuck at some point beyond 80%.
I was able to install Deepshining ROM, but the sim lock remains... I guess I will have to buy an unlock code. ¿Can someone tell me what is the site site to buy one?

You don't have to buy the unlock code. Call T-Mobile, ask for technical support (bypass customer service, it will take too long), and request the unlock code. Have the IMEI # for your phone available. They will email the unlock code to you usually within 24-48 hours. I did this last month and got the code the same day.
