Hi there,
My DVP came preloaded with NODO, I have tried hard resetting (Settings, About, Reset your phone) but it still leaves the phone as 7.0.7355...
I have tried unlocking, but it doesn't seem to work...
Is there a way to uninstall NODO so I can unlock the phone?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
u have to find a rom before Nodo for your device to flash it & do the trick to keep chevron working with nodo

Thnx for quick reply.
Didn't know you could flash roms on WP7...where can I find a DVP rom...tried searching but couldn't find one
Might be easier to just pay the $100 and get an official develop account. It's been known for months that ChevronWP7 would stop working with NoDo. It sucks, but to me the apps were more important than the money, and I didn't have to mess around with preventing relock or anything.

Knowing that the ChevronWP7 team has now been working with Microsoft to secure the exploit they were using, and that the NoDo update coming out on Monday will relock the phone and patch said exploit, what will happen next?
Obviously some of the fine people in these forums will take a crack at it, so I suppose my question would be this: Knowing what you guys know about developing and hacking the Windows Phone, how long would it take between the release of the update and until it i cracked again?
Will it be similar to the timespan between iOS release and jailbreaks, or of Android releases and rooting? What steps do you developers and hackers anticipate you will have to take in order to developer unlock our first major OS update?
I'm just really curious, and having just gotten a Samsung Focus on Monday, I wanted to make sure whether or not it was worth updating as soon as the update was relased. What do you think?
Well, on LG phones, you have a registry editor which allows you to unlock the phone (for sideloading) without the Chevron exploit (and no need for a certificate). I wonder if the update will kill even the registry keys (or change them to something more obscure).
Assume those do not change, then a new exploit would need to access the registry of a locked phone somehow, and I am sure people here will come up with a new certificate.
Other WP7
What about other phones? HTC HD7 or Samsung Focus? The Focus makes up a very large part of WP7 users.
it will come the phone is only 5 months old there has to be some bright spark out there that can unlock the phone after the updates or microsoft will allow HomeBrew applications to be loaded?
I just flashed from 7004 to PreNoDo 7008 on my HD7 and my unlocked apps are still working... I'm hoping that happens when I get my NoDo update... though unlikely. Then I could just use the sideloaded registry editor to re-unlock it. Here's to hoping!
I have installed NoDo on my US AT&T Samsung Focus and it is still Chevron unlocked.
My Omnia 7 has Nodo and homebrew software is still working.

I installed NoDo on my Focus and now its locked. How did you unlock it in the first place? I installed the certificate, ran Chevron tool, and checked both boxes. Now after NoDo install locked again.
Hi Guys,
Just a quick thread in regards to my Omnia 7 which I pushed to NODO using chevron updater.
From my current position, am I able to unlock my phone, or downgrade my phone?
There are a few things I wanted to tweak using registry but backtracking and reading threads seem to need me to be unlocked/jailbroken or sitting on a pre-nodo build.
If possible, could someone point me in the right direction or describe possible steps.
I came from an android modding history for hero and galaxy S and took the easier path of updating to nodo for my omnia 7 (awesomeness goes to Chris) but am itching to muck around with this phone now
Thanks in advance

Your only option right now is to reflash your Omnia to XXJK1 ROM for example, then unlock with Chevron. Use samsung tool to disable Zune relocking. Update to 7008>update to Nodo. Goodluck.
Well, or you can actually get a developer account and use the official tools to unlock your phone for sideloaded apps. Crazy talk, I know, but it doesn't require wiping the phone. Up to you to decide if it's worth the cost ($99 unless you're a student, in which case it's free).
Thank very much guys! I shal take a look into this
Cheers
I unbranded my Focus and did the no-do patch a month ago then rebranded it to ATT-US but now zune doesn't tell me that there's an update though I haven't received the Focus Firmware.
I've been searching this forum and didn't find an answer so I'm just making sure I haven't found a way around it and will have to restore my phone.
Are you sure you're rebranded to ATT-US ?

Rebrand it and Zune will notice you.
how do you rebrand it?
I would like to know this as well. I can't run samsungregistry to re-brand the phone. am I forced to do a phone reset?
How did you unbrand it?

I'm very sure I rebranded it for sure. I don't think there is a way to run the registry.xap after nodo is there?

You can still side-load .xaps (like the registry editor) as long as your device is still dev. unlocked. IF, however, you lost your unlock there isn't a way to "jailbreak" NoDo with the Chevron tool.
One option is to use Zune on your PC to roll back the firmware using the backup Zune created during your first NoDo update. This version (maybe .7004??) will be unlockable with Chevron. Doing this will revert your phone back to the state at the time of the first update (you'll loose new app data, personal data, and have to redownload new apps.)
Once you're dev. unlocked you will be able to go through the update process to NoDo without losing the unlock. So you will have a dev unlocked NoDo. This process will probably restore the ATT-US branding, but now with an unlocked device you can brand it to whatever you want!
I'm sure the update is being released in waves so be patient. I have a device that already had NoDo on it and I received the samsung update immediately, but my buddy with a stock 7004 version still hasn't received the update yet.
Getting error C1010007 ever since my first attempt to upgrade. I got the notification on 4/19 and have tried several times, on 2 different laptops, and it gets to step 7 of 10 of the process and got to 68% the first 4 times, then 72% one time, then 55% the last time before it drops the connection with my phone and stops and throws the error.
I've deleted EVERYTHING on the phone ... music, pics, apps ... and same thing. I've used various USB cables including the original, and no success. About the only thing left is to hard reset and I REALLY hate to do that because most people aren't having issues.
I am really not liking this at all!
If you already deleted everything, What's the hurt to do a hardreset? In fact, a lot ppl spent days even weeks try to get the update working (on a Samsung phone) and still ended up with a hard reset and solves the problem. Re-setting up your phone probably won't take days you spent on experimenting already.
Just wondering if anyone has had this problem. I've resetted the phone and still cant get it to update
The only Focus that hasn't received NoDo update is hardware rev 1.4. AT&T is still testing the new firmware that will work with rev 1.4 hardware.
To check your rev number, power down and take the battery out. It is printed on the label underneath the battery.
Most of us are on older rev 1.3 hardware.
Im on rev 1.3, no firmware update though I'm running the latest software update...
no luck here either
Lol I didn't check update b4 I posted, this was for nodo
I'm having a hell of a time trying to unlock this phone. chevron says every time cannot connect to phone. I've followed the instructions word for word and no matter what i do it never connects to the phone.
I'm at a loss. The tile colors are driving me nuts and am dying to be able to change them. Any advice what i might be missing? phone is in airplane mode, zune is running etc. No dice.
The tile colours? You can change them in Settings > Themes, they pick up the Accent Colour
yeah, I want custom colors, the stock ones kinda suck.
if your Phone have NoDo software, you forget free unlock with ChevronWP7
WP7 can unlock only if have software before NoDo upgrade
for $99 you can buy developer unlock from Microsoft
P.S.
soon be available cheap official unlock provided by ChevronWP7 and Microsoft for only $9 http://labs.chevronwp7.com/

Thanks, i guess i'll wait then. Just got the phone a couple days ago so i'm assuming it's the latest software. Hard to wade through all the info to figure out what's going on. Appreciate the answer.
Can't believe they didn't have custom color options though. I know it's minor but still annoying. Otherwise i'm loving WP7 more than my android by quite alot.
Well I'm getting my htc surround back, I got it taken away, but am getting it back having to pay for my own data... I've been out of the scene for a few months now. I always wanted to "jailbreak" or "unlock" whatever it's called in the wp7 world. I used to think it was chevron, but it never worked on my phone. With the new mango update out I don't see that anymore and I'm completely clueless as what to do now. Can someone lead me in the right direction with steps to help me going?
It still is called Chevron or Dev unlock. If you have Mango, then at this point, with HTC devices, you cannot unofficially dev unlock your device while on Mango. You have to go back to NoDo, unlock, and then update to Mango to keep the unlock.
Information and directions are all in the Development and Hacking forum. Please check there or do a search as it is all there.
i was unlock my htc 7 pro with this rom, its possible to deploy application, but i cant find solution on how to run with debugging.
DFT Rom
I have this phone I have followed every guide to get to mango and keep chevron unlock and NONE of them work on this device.
I would recommend if your phone supports it to flash the hspl thing in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Then flash the rom in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255129
you will get to mango unlocked and its much faster then wasting your time fooling around with the u2b2 connection setup guides posting here, I am sure they work on other devices, but I have not been able to get them to work on my surround.
Mind you if the hspl thing and the DFT rom work for you the device is pretty damn sweet when all is said and done.
