Ativ S unlock - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys,
I have a Question and I have searched on Google for an easy Answer but cannot find.
I understood that when I bought me an Ativ S and its on GDR1 then I can install GDR2
and have then the ability to interop unlock the Device. But if I go to GDR3 the unlock will
be removed and there is (at the moment) no way to install unsigned apps?
Is there an GDR3 Update that exclued the Patch for interop unlock?
Or should I stay on GDR2?
At the Moment Iam an owner of an HTC HD7 with Windows Phone 7.8 so I know the possibilities of interop unlock, provxml and other stuff.
Thx for help.

[Q] HD7 - Basic Questions on flashing and unbranding

First, hi there.... i'm a newbie regarding flashing smartphones.... so please be kind
My phone info:
OS Version: 7.0.7008.0
Firmwareversion: 2250.09.11901.207
HW-Rev: 0002
Radio: 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U
Radio-HW: A.102.0.D4
Bootloaderversion: 1.19.2250.0(111297)
Chip-SOC-Version: 2.2.5.0
Provider: o2 Germany
(HD7 bought via o2myhandy)
PreNoDo-Update is installed.
And here are coming the questions :
1. Correct me if im wrong but it looks like my HD7 is branded from o2. (i have the o2 accent theme in my design settings and so on)
2. I want to unbrand my HD7, to get updates directly and not through o2. Is that possible?
3. If that is possible, which ROM should i use to flash? (Is it useful to debrand my phone with an preNodo ROM and update it then through zune?)
4. Can i use the offical HTC ROMs, or du i have to use other ones?
Thanks!
This is exactly what I've been wondering too. The o2 search provider (Yahoo) on my phone annoys me lots and I'm fed up waiting for the 7.0.7390 update to arrive. Shall I take matters into my own hands!
Hi
I followed the instructions on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988672
and have updated to NODO successfully
Please Note it seems to work with only HTC HD7 on O2 UK
I had an O2 UK and its seems to unbrand it to European version to get the nodo update
Do make sure you read the post properly again and again if you must , cause I made a few cockups a couple of times but got it right the third time
Thanks!
Whats the difference between the o2 UK and o2 DE ROMs aside the language?
I've also updated my phone and it worked flawlessly!
It's even now offering the NoDo update officially from MS, I presume because the phone is now unbranded.
Unbranding made a big difference to my phone, stripping the o2 logo off the bootup sequence and taking the crappy Yahoo search off IE.
Very happy with the improvement
Ok, i hope its not off-topic, but i there seems to be too many threads that got me confused ( some with deleted op )
I am getting a T-Mobile unlocked hd7, question is .. is there a way to unbrand and get NoDo ? If i do it will it get locked again ? ( i used unlock code to unlock it )
Please if it has been posted before, just guide me to the threads i should read.

Did you remove netlock? A unlocked phone will allow you to side load apps. T-Mobile wouldnt do that (its not legal).
I called mobile today to get my HD7 unlocked wil try this
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
By unlocked i meant SIM-unlocked -.-'

I have almost the same issue. I'm brazillian and the English keyboard doesn't have "ã" and "õ" characteres... I want to use Spanish keyboard because of this, so... Anyone could help?
Is it a US T-Mobile HD7?
If so, I believe a goldcard is the only way to debrand. See this thread.
I'm still trying to figure out if the benefits (quicker updates, etc.) outweigh the issues introduced by using a European radio.

Yes It's a T-Mobile US, I looked at that thread... It's not so easy and It needs some items as an usb y-cable, a sd card, a card reader, another smartphone with android...
thanks anyway...

[Q] Interop in Ativ S GDR3??

Hi. Is it possible install interop unlock my samsung ativ s with GDR3 update?
If you got the retail update (as opposed to just the developer program updates) then you'll need to flash an older version. Depending on which model of ATIV S it is, there are different steps to follow.

As stated GoodDayToDie, if you are GDR3 it will downgrade back to a version of post-GDR3 (eg GDR2).
Once in post-GDR3 version, it will have to do this.
I think you mean pre-GDR3, not post- but in general, yeah.
