[Q] Question about Microsoft's Support tool - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As some of you know, Microsoft has released a support tool to manually update your Windows Phone (kinda).
My question to XDA is: Will I keep my unlock after using this tool?
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I applied that "Keep Zune from re-locking" registry tweak.

Are you 'officially' dev. unlocked through Microsoft or.....?

Chevron, would be quite obvious to keep my unlock if I were an official dev
Anyway I allready tried it myself, you keep the unlock, so this can be closed.

Is there a fix for "force NoDo" preventing future updates?

Thanks for reading this, I apologize if this has been asked already but I've searched and could not find anything. If anyone knows a fix I would very much appreciate to know. I have the Samsung Focus with ATT
I'm stuck with an unbranded phone and cannot receive future updates, and cannot use Chevron7 to dev unlock my phone to re-brand my phone. The only way I've heard of but have not yet confirmed is by purchasing the dev unlocking tools from Microsoft directly. Being as forcing NoDo on my focus prevents me from using chevron7 to unlock the phone so I can re-brand it back to AT&T. That prevents me from being able to get the new ATT nodo update. My question is, if I purchase the dev tools from Microsoft for $99, would I be able to rollback my focus pre-nodo through zune and with ATT being re-branded, could I get that ATT focus nodo update?
Sorry if this is confusing, thanks in advance for any advice.

Any particular reason you cannot rollback your device using the official tool from Microsoft?
I typed a response back and it didn't post... Scrt, what official tool are you talking about? Do you mean the dev unlock tools you can buy for $99? See I forced the update and I'm stuck with an un-branded phone and I can't unlock with Chevron7 and I can't receive future updates like Mango. I can rollback using Zune but since I can't unlock using Chevron7, I cannot re-brand my phone to ATT to get the ATT Focus update.
So I'm asking if anyone knows that if I buy the dev tools from Microsoft for $99 and unlock my phone that way... Would I be able to do that and re-brand to ATT, then download the ATT Focus update?

Well... i don't know about other phone, but HD7's user, have ansar ported the stock 7004 ROM. I flashed back to 7004 and then get official update through Zune. So, i don't need to worry about this.
I had this problem with my Samsung Focus, i had it unbranded and it was updated to the nodo update.
Now i have the at&t firmware update and Nodo update and my phone is still dev unlocked. So happy!!
This is how I did it, First of all, you have to downgrade or restore your focus to 7008 OS.
Then make sure you phone is dev unlocked and download WP7 Root Tools 0.3alpha.xap
once you have downloaded the homebrew app, rebrand your focus by opening up the WP7 Root Tools app, and follow these instructions: Go to REGISTRY
LocalMachine\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
and SET String then change VALUE: ATT-US
After that you phone will be rebranded to At&t. You can use the same steps for a rogers branded samsung focus, just replace ATT-US with ROG-CA and you should be good to go. Then make sure you use the Samsung Tools.xap app before you update your phone to NODO. just check the prevent relock section in the samsung tools app and reboot your phone, double check that it is checked and update away. There you guys go, im here to help, I hope this helps most of you.

[Q] How to unlock VZW Trophy with Mango 7712?

I want to unlock my VZW HTC Trophy with Mango 7712, however I do not have a NoDo backup. Is there still a way to do this?
Anyone know anything, at all?
I need help too
I have the same phone and from what I can tell all you can do is find a ROM to flash. However, I do not know of anyone having done a CDMA VZW Trophy ROM.
I'm a registered Microsoft Windows Mobile developer, won't they have a cdma version?

If you are a registered dev, you are unlocked; are you asking about getting back to NoDo (original post is for getting Mango unlocked)? And by "they", who do you mean; MS?
yes thats who i meant
you would have to flash back to pre nodo unlock and then pass unlock back to mango

A way to unlock/hack WP 7.8 device

Hello,
I have an HTC 7 Trophy with WP 7.8 (version 8862) is there any way to hack this OS, that i would be able to downloads appas and games to my pc and upload them into my phone?
I would suggest that your search-fu is weak, but I'm pretty sure you didn't even try. Go read rule # 1 of this forum, please...
Then go read the rest of them, for good measure. I don't really feel like giving you the benefit of a doubt here: we do not condone warez, and will not assist in pirating apps.

Is your phone the Verizon edition or the world edition?
If its the Verizon edition just follow my tutorial over in the Trophy General.

My Phone is not an Verizon edition. But i guess it is Vadafone (But I may be wrong) because when i boot up my phone every time, Vadafone's logo appears.

That doesn't work for the trophy. He needs to flash the NoDo rom, flash DFT's HSPL, and flash Dynamics 2.0. The tutorial partially work for him anyways.
