Hey guys,
ive posted here and there, looked around but to no prevail, so i got a problem after flashing my Omnia 7 which was on NoDo but not unlocked (prior to this, it unlocked fine)
The STORY - since i updated my phone to NoDo after reseting it, i diidnt have it unlocked but as i felt like going back to Chevron, i flashed it to an unbranded euro ROM but now the Chevron unlocker is not working. And also, i cannot restore my phone since i keep getting an error code.
Thanks in advance

Your story is not very clear. This is what I get from it:
- Original ROM / Pre-NoDo / Unlocked
- Original ROM / upgrade to NoDo / Locked
- Flashed ROM / Pre-NoDo / Unlocking fails
Is that correct?
Your backup is not working, because you flashed your ROM between backup and restore.
You should provide the following details, or else noone can help you:
- What ROM version did you flash exactly? (eg. I8700XXJK1)
- What are the specific errorcodes / errormessages you get when you try to unlock? (maybe provide screenshots of the problem)

Cool ok thanks alot for the reply.
So in the very beginning, The Original Rom (OPTUS) on 7004 unlocked fine.
Then i updated it to pre-nodo then unbranded it via the registry then i got the nodo update but then i reset it via Phone Settings > About > reset so i ended up with a normal locked phone
Then recently, in an attempt to unlock my phone again, i flashed my phone with BOTH I8700 BSE I8700BSEJK1 and I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1. One of which is a Netherland ROM and one is a Belgium ROM and they both act the same way.
When i try to unlock it, the Chevron unlocker keeps showing the usual message
Sorry, I'm Having trouble communicating with the phone.
- Please make sure it's connected using USB
-Please start the Zune application

and lastly, the restoring, as you mentioned was my initial thought but yeh so thats nothing to worry about
EDIT: Wait, before, i used to be able to open the Chevron Unlocker and tick the boxes and that message would come up but now it doesnt even open the program but just shows that message. Dont know what difference that makes but yeh.
I'm not sure this will help. But try to open this file on your computer:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
Remove every line that contains WindowsPhone in it, and try again.

nup. im sorry, thanks for yourr help but it still isnt working that great. So right now its just the same as before hahah. I uh. Tried to reinstall the Windows Developer thing but it was interrupted but seemed to have installed fine in the end. but maybe thats why i cant even open the Chevron tool?
Maybe you are running software that uses port 443. Look at this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106

if you applied the registry key that is around the forums to keep it unlocked for NODO and everything then it is safe, i have it running and unlocked still

Nope. No one lost any text messages by updating to NoDo. People may have lost text messages if, in an attempt to resolve a problem during the update, they chose to hard reset their phone. But that has nothing to do with the update itself.

i mean the registry hack that came up when going to "NODO" update would re-lock your phone. and this would anable you to keep your unlock for further even for this newer update.
i think there is a .xap file now that does it automated. but thats what i did and it worked.. i didn't do the airplane mode for that, i think that was just to fool zune into giving you the update when it wasn't showing up if i remember correctly.
i was busy for a while till i found the right place with the info using the search.
this is the link to the .xap i found in another post http://dl.dbank.com/c0u5q3xic8
No, without a developer unlock, 7392 can't be unlocked. I restored from 7390 to 7008, performed the Chevron unlock, edited the registry to prevent relocking, then updated back to 7390, and the phone remained unlocked. After updating to 7392, the phone retains its unlocked status.

Update will not ruin your phone (Dev Unlocked)
But i found some bugs.
If you let your phone run like 2 days non-stops, daily use, sometime the phone wake up in laggy condition. I mean, everything inside the apps is laggy, not the metro ui. The Metro UI is still smooth, but in people tab, photo tabs, IE... everything is laggy. It forces me to reset the phone.
I don't know if this issue is releated to the reg hack to instant resume apps (for now, maybe Mango will have some kind of new "multi-tasking" that we don't know) .
BTW, just upgrade it.
What do you mean by "edited the registry to prevent relocking?" is it the file where I copy to my windows on my phone??

as i said before, you go and get the .xap file that does the edit for you or you go and look for the registry to edit with a registry editor for your phone
the easiest way to do it is to side load the .xap files that does it for you and then just run it on your phone and you're done.
just get the .xap file i provided from another forum or if you don't trust that then search is your best bet, if you wan't do it manually or do it for you with a .xap
of course if you don't have a registry editor on there allready i would just go for the .xap file that does it for you that i provided on my previous post.
hope you get it this time

You need Zune beta from here, to restore back.
If you didn't make a backup before updating to mango, you have to flash with either UCJK2 or UXJL2 (recommended), from here. They're both back to version 7004 so after you flash, you will have to update to NoDo.
I'm currently doing it as I type.
Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152422 for the instruction.
Long story short. To make it easy :
1. Flash AT&T 7004 ROM
2. Unlock & Prevent Relock
3. Open Diagnose Mode ##634#
4. Install New_SMS_Unlock.xap
5. Install Samsung Root Tools from Heathcliff
6. Use the Samsung Tools to create provxml folder in root directory
7. Find unlock.xml from Applications folder and copy it to provxml folder (details on how to do this can be found on the the thread above)
8. Upgrade to NoDo (7390) Don't Unbrand !!! No need to go to 7392, and you won't get update for Diagnose if you unbrand.
9. In 7390, Uninstall your Diagnose app.
10. ##634# again, and your diagnose app will be updated.
11. After this make sure you can read the unlock.xml using *#9908# from Diagnose. If you can see your unlock.xml then you're good to go, if not then you must be missing something.
12. Flash to 7661
13. Open *#9908# from Diagnose.
14. Choose Unlock and press Save.
15. Your 7661 Focus should be unlocked by now.

Step 14 can be misleading.
I know that when I did it following those same directions I never got any message that said it was finished or anything, just like you it said "loading." I just closed out and was unlocked afterwords.

Hey,
Anybody knows how to maintain unlock from 7712 to 7720 ... I reached 7712 and have managed to keep it unlocked ... want to know how hard is it from here to reach 7720 and maintain unlock ... dont have backups, so if I screw up will have to go back to 7004 and start over again

Try this. It worked for me on my v1.3 Focus. Still unlocked.
Btw, it says not working on Focus, but it did on mine.
Edit: Actually, if you're already on 7712, I'm guessing this won't work. Probably worth starting over for, though - especially, since you need a backup, as well.

I actually did the last step from 7712 to 7720 ... then went to GPRS settings, saved unlock.xml, saved and rebooted ... Its unlocked ... but I am syncing with zune in airplane mode cos I have a feeling it might get locked again ...

This does not work ***VERIFIED***.
This zune version also gives 801812EO Error on Zune Restore attempt.
Backup is a pipedream. The only way back is from 7004 and through the hoops if you do it right.
No need for beta Zune
Since the official update of mango you no longer need the beta version of zune. Do all the same instructions and your phone will have mango (non-beta) and be unlocked

i have successfully gone back to 7004 firmware. But now when i try to use chevron unlock i am getting an error " Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone. Please make sure it is connected . and zune is started.What might be the problem? Im using zune 4.7
Close any IM programs on your PC or other Programs that might "block" the appropriate port (firewalls, Chats, etc.) . Try a reboot of your PC and try unlocking as the first thing you do before you launch any other program.
People also reported that it helps to put the phone into "airplane mode".
Thanks i rebooted my laptop and phone and then i installed chevron.cert.After that i put my phone on airplane mode and it worked.

I really need to put my app on my phone, how can i downgrade my os version so i can unlock my phone with the Chevron unlocker ?
Or it is possible to run my app on my phone without unlocking ?

No. In order to deploy your app to on your device, it needs to be unlocked. Resetting won't help you there, since it doesn't do anything more then wipe the data and bring it back to its factory state. Which means the factory state of your current ROM version. Which in your case is 7390. If you want to put your phone back into a pre NoDo state you should head over to the HTC Mozart forums and have a look for a pre NoDo ROM that you can flash. You'll then be able to unlock your device with chevron and apply all current official updates afterwards. Your device will remain unlocked.
Don't forget about your backup.
You should have a backup of 7008 which can be unlocked (that's what you're looking for).
To check that, Zune, Phone, Settings, Update, there should be a Restore there.

True. I don't know why, but for some reason I didn't even consider that point.
i have restored it ( twice ) but the last restore point is from 5 may and my version is still 7390

Hi. So I'm quite new to this and I have done a fair share of googling and searching but I still need some answers. I've got an HTC 7 Mozart on Mango 7.10.7740.16 which is Root Tools Unlocked. Recently my phones been acting up ( the wifi seems to come and go ). I was wondering what is the easiest way to restore the firmware or just reset the phone (much like an iphone restore) while keeping the root tools unlock. Any help will be well appreciated. Thanks :good:
You have to run:
Setting>Informations>More infos>slide down and tap "reset phone".
Depending on your firmware version (the OS version is irrelevant), it may not be possible to reset the phone while keeping the unlock. Don't follow Budniu's directions unless you want to wipe everything, including your data and unlocks. If you've updated the phoen through Zune, or made any restore points manually, you can roll the phone back to the exact state it was in then (before the update, if that's how you took the backup). You'll lose any changes, good or bad, made since then.
Hi! thanks for your replies. The firmware revision number is: 2250.21.40600.061 and the bootloader is 4.6.2250.0 (129193) if that makes any difference.
Your firmware version is compatible with the HTC Interop Unlock hack and the installation of WP7 Root Tools, so if you wanted to do a hard reset and then re-unlock, that could be done (you'd need some way to dev-unlock the phone, though). You would still lose all data currently on the phone, though.
