chevron wp7 unlock after nodo?

Hi
I'm using tmobile hd7 and successfully flashed a Telstra nodo rom, however I am missing my custom ringtones notificatons and homebrew apps, has anyone been able to unlock after nodo?

MS made it clear that NoDo will patch the security flaw that was exploited by the chevron team. So for now there is no hack after NoDo. But its all a matter of time before a hack comes from someone. Hopefuuly its sooner than later as i do miss the custom ringtones and registry hacks.

Microsoft should just allow free XAP files to be put on phones...
just put security checks in to safeguard files that are paid for on the market place should be nothing too hard for Microsoft to do...
But Im loving NoDo and my hacks that I done before are still there just cant edit them after now...
Like the **it Yahoo search page on IE and some custom colours

There is a way to have NoDo and still have your phone unlocked. But you have to unlock it at pre-Nodo (7004 or 7008) and then wait for your official update throught Zune. Here is the thread:

how can i sure that my HD7 is unlock???

I have two HD7 both were unlocked with Chevron, I flashed one with the Telstra rom and the unlock with all my apps were gone. But the other one with official nodo from t-mobile kept the apps and the unlock. So I can confirm that you need to unlock before nodo to keep the unlock.

The phone were unlocked before pre-nodo, don't know if that makes a different.

+1, unlocked and nodo, working perfectly.

You must reflash your phone with a old Shopping Rom without nodo, now patch with nodo and use nodo patch from Forum. Now you can make update with zune and you will not lose your patched phone pn ME tomorrow and will give you needed Files when you not found that

[Q] Anything i can do?

Hi, just got a hd7, it has the 5.10 spl. Though the phone is nearly a year old. Its from o2 UK.
Is there anyway of upgrading to a custom rom? Or even unlock it so I can deploy xaps? Would the chevron unlock work?
Thanks for any help in advance

NO_DO Backup via zune needed
u have to restore you phone to no do update.
Update Via zune again, Several updates will come and u have to stop after the Mango update is finished via zune.
SPL will downgrade to 4.X with Mango update.
Hope it makes sense

I can give you one, but need all the Details of ur phone (Settings:--> About). and where it was baught.

You might have to buy some hardware, but a gold card would probably allow a downgrade.

Downgrade SPL 5.X (NO_DO Zune No_Do Restore or any Restore below 7720 Needed)

Verified on HTC HD7 3 Times (Does not Work for Half Bricked Devices)
Prerequisite: Zune No_Do Restore or any Restore below 7720 .
STEPS:
=====
1) Restore to No_Do restore point via Zune. (Won't downgrade SPL 5.X)
2) Connect phone to Zune and Updates 7.0.7392.0 and 7.0.7403 will be installed on ur phone.
3) The third update will be mango update, install it and once done SPL will be Changed to 4.X
NOTE:
After Mango update, while phone reboots, it will reboot twice, one for downgrading SPL and another to load Mango on ur phone.
DETAILED EXPLANATION (It is not Rocket Science)
====================
1) When you upgrade to MANGO (7720), SPL changes to 4.X followed by the HTC Update that changes SPL to 5.X
2) Restoring to NO DO or any other update (7392, 7403) does not change SPL 5.X, but the fact Remains that you have a Phone that can be upgraded via Zune.
3) Conscidering that we retored to No Do via Zune and SPL still being 5.X, We start upgrading and we get Update 7392 and 7403.
4) Next update is Mango (7720) [Zune does not change SPL but the Update installation does, especiallt 7720 and HTC Firmware update].
5) Since Zune is not supported to check or Downgrade the SPL, when the Mango Update happens on the phone with SPL 5.X, The update changes SPL to 4.X "Phone reboots twice after the update is applied one for changing SPl and other for loading Mango".
6) Next come HTC Firmware Update, if u apply tht too, u again endup with SPL 5.X, so u have to Stop after Mango Update and Then you can follow the below thread to flash Custom or Branded roms.

I am looking for a good custom rom before applying your idea
I think it will success
Wait me

if we don't have a no-do restore point, there is no way of getting it back?

sorry to ask such a dumb question.. but how do I know what is my SPL version?? and how do I downgrade to No_Do?
My bootloader version is 4.5.2250.0 .. but still Im unable to flash with a new ROM, as the task 00 fails on my HTC HD7 T9292, I have a windows 7 64 bit OS. It shows RUU is incompatible with my device,
I followed all the steps on the given thread, but the flash was unsuccessful, couldn't downgrade OSPL, or install RSPL or HSPL(that is required to get a new ROM rite??)..

No No Do Restore point and other restore points don't work

Can't we copy some files from someone else and make Zune think that we have the NoDo restore point? (Because I don't have the NoDo restore on my computer)

What do you mean by sayin "Someone else", if u saying nodo restore of another HD7, then no it will not work, all Phone have a unique CID.

New firmware Update changes SPL to 5.X (Verified on HTC HD7 3 times)
Solution (Steps)
=============
1) Restore via Zune to earlier Restore point "No do", but will not change SPL below 5.X
2) Go through update process Via zune, u will get updates "7.0.7392.0" , "7.0.7403" and the last one will be Mango Update which will follow the Firmware update (that changes the SPL to 5.X)
3) Stop after Mango update is Finished SPL will be 4.X

Cool, got it, Unfortunate for me i did not explain that it does not work for HALF BRICKED Devices, Sorry bro for wasting ur precious time, sorry again.. Will edit the Post now

No worries, I am glad you posted what you did... hopefully others won't do what I did. I was not to worried about it till tonight. I re-did my contract and no longer have an unlimited plan. Now the deal works like this a 512 data plan, a 2GB, a 5GB plan, a 10GB plan.. it's now cheaper to go with Sprint from what I can tell. I like my Radar... better camera, faster storage, faster data, better battery life, but the data plan sucks.. give me 4G (Even though it is fake 4G) then charge me to actually enjoy it! WTF!!!!!!!!!!

you have the Asia WWE HD7.
ansar's SLSPL won't be able to be used, unfortunately.
only way for you to downgrade SPL, aka Bootloader, is to Zune pre-Mango (i.e. NoDo) restore, here or this here.
i don't know how to explain further, sorry.

as far as i know, (have been out of the game for a bit) with OSPL (aka Original Bootloader) 5.xx can't be downgraded while retaining the current OS. but it can be returned to a stock Shipped ROM, instead of a Custom ROM.
