My understanding is that you have to flash an old rom you can find here for your device and then use the Chevron unlock method and follow the steps to upgrading to 7392 by preventing relock etc.

htc mozart using and last update build 7392 no problem but unlock device htc europe 1.23 rom installed build 7004 but no unlock where is the problem ?

The problem is, you're not making yourself very clear. You trying to unlock 7392 or 7004 or installing unlocked 7004? I'm sure there is no such thing as unlocked 7004, 7004 can be unlocked however
i upgraded my phone with built7392 but the phone was not unlocked. Now, i downgraded the phone with htc eurobe 1,23 to unlock the phone. It is build 7004 right now. but no matter what i do, i can not unlock it. I made the first update and i became 7008 but isn't unlocked again. I suppose i have done all the thing as said. chevron always gives the same error message.

The only way to achieve that is by flashing a 7008 ROM. You can find some in the appropriate forums (in your case Mozart of course).
count your blessings that you have a phone with ROMs and flash that shiot...
this is a good reason to save your backup restore files everytime you update.
I have my 7008, and two 7390's saved
I want to receive mango through Zune when my carrier releases it but I am on 7712 with no back up. What can I do? I would like to be unlocked as well.
Well, your phone is currently running the BETA version of Mango. Microsoft said that there will be no option to update to the official version of Mango if you're using the BETA.
The only option for you is to flash an older ROM to your phone so that you're back to 7004 (or 7008). Then you have to unlock; prevent your phone from relocking and update to NoDo. Then you just have to wait until the final version is released.
There are tutorials here on xda-developers on how to keep the unlock while updating to a higher version.

Flash your HTC HD7 with 7392 ROM. You'll then be on the official update route.
If you want it unlocked, you'll have to flash all the way back to either 7004 or 7008.
Since I lost my backup and have to flash to a rom from this site, will Zune recognize it as "official"? And send me updates?

You will get updated when they release by the carrier/oem (I believe or maybe it's based on SIM, but believe it depends more on Branding) of the ROM. So if it's a T-Mobile USA ROM, you'll get the updates as TMOUSA releases them. People do this all the time on device that come with Mango already on them. They Flash a 7004/7008 ROM so they can Chevron Unlock & than just upgrade back to NoDo.
Basiclly I had mango installed on my phone and saw that everyone was unlocking them and so I went back to my nodo backup. I was reading a tut that was ment for pre nodo and it didnt say that so I hard reset my phone. After looking everywhere on how to unlock nodo I found nothing. So Now I have a stock nodo rom on my phone is it possible to unlock it and then bring it up to mango still unlocked. Btw I have an HTC Arrive
u would have to flash back to pre nodo rom then unlock with chevron and use tut to pass chevron unlock to mango
Where is a rom I could download/use for my phone. Htc Arrive,I got my phone with nodo already on it so I dont have a pre nodo backup
check out these two threads ... depending on what carrier u have though

Where can I find the htc-flasher for windows 7 I only find the one for linux
what do u mean ? just do as it says in step C the flashing instructions the romupdate utility is for windows 7
sorry I thought I need a tool or something
Ok i tried that but it says it doesnt see my phone do i have to put into bootloader mode and how do I do that
edit:nvm found out
OK I go it to flash but now it thinks its an HTC MWP. Also It still wont let me unlock it. Can someone please help me. I flashed it so its now version 7392 so can it be unlocked
what carrier do u have and what country
I have sprint and USA. Also I am now at nodo and Im preety sure I read that its impossible for the HTC arrive
Sorry, you CANNOT have HTC Arrive without NoDo. NoDo added CDMA support which is needed to operate on Sprint's network.
yea day2die is right sorry ... looks like u need to flash the sprint nodo rom back on to ur phone
that really sucks. Well can I flash pre nodo with out any service and then unlock. then flash to sprint rom
you would have to wait and see if there will be a custom rom avail which would be already unlocked and have to use rspl for the bootloader to allow u to flash a custom rom... but then u wont be able to update through sprint probably

If you used the official update route your phone must have been relocked during the update to 7740 hence you have no ability to side load apps. Roll back to the previous 7720 version through Zune and stick with that if the phone was Interop unlocked, if it works.
If your bootloader has changed to version 5******* theres not a lot you can do yet to unlock your device, apart from the Goldcard method.

I thought that the newest zune doesn't backup the complete device any more... is this true? is it possible to go back to 7220 without hard resetting your device?
very strange...
in the morning tried to downgrade to 7720, but unsuccessful. after few hours tried again, but it seems that my phone is half-bricked...
anyway, connect the phone to pc, zune started and i see "restore"!... right, i can restore to 7720 and now my apps works!
tried now to update to 7740 offline, but the same situation: can't use apps!... tried to interop-unlock in 7720 with htcinteropunlock.xap, but can't find in connection setup "interop unlock".
please help me, because i really need to update to 7740 because of outlook forward message update and also because i need to use these apps (navigon is one of them).
it is possible to have a 7740 phone with interop-unlock?
thx.
You might be lucky and stay unlocked by updating from the restored version of 7720 to 7740 by trying one of these methods:
While running your unlocked 7720 install the attached Advanced Configuration 1.5 .xap swipe the screen and go to 'Tweaks' and make sure the box 'Prevent phone from relocking' is ticked. Now run the 7740 update and see if that keeps it unlocked.
If the above doesn't work go back to the 7720 backup and install U2M7720 V1.2 and follow the instructions below before running the 7740 update.
Select U2B2, complete provxml and tap on done
Finally just tap on Chevron Unlock (will exit U2M7720)
DO NOT RUN Connection Setup now
Update to 7740
NOW run Connection Setup
Let me know if either of these methods work for you, and could you please let me know which bootloader version you have on the 7720 and 7740 ROM versions, I know you have already updated and it could be the same for both now.
The bootloader version is found by powering off then powering back on while holding the volume down button in. To get out of bootloader mode hold the power button down for a few seconds until the phone turns off then power it back on.
first method not work.
try now the second. which version of connection setup must be installed?
just tried: it seems that even this method failed. connection setup don't start and the other apps don't work.
i will try again to restore and install connection setup from marketplace.
spl - 5.10.2250.6 (132274) mng
update: still locked...
It'll be the 5.10.2250.6 bootloader that's keeping the phone locked, there is no easy work around for it that I'm aware of, unless you flash back to a manufacturers ROM using the Gold card method then install a custom 7740 ROM using RSPL/HSPL.
it's very strange because on saturday morning my phone wasn't half-bricked, but when tried to flash an other rom it appears that is bricked...
and why when restore to 7720 everything working?!?!
That'll be the bootloader version causing those issues.

I had a similar issue a few months ago and I was able to flash back to my phone's original firmware which downgraded the bootloader back to v1.07.
I'm guessing most of the half brick situations are caused by incorrect firmware being loaded when flashing back to an older version.
You may need to identify your CID and operator for your phone.
Instructons and links below:
----I haven't tested this with the verizon version of the handsets as I don't own one of those handsets. You may want to check the forum for any bricking related issues with those handsets & Flashing firmware will reset your phone's settings including contact links, message threads and saved game progress etc...----
Identify your phone's original firmware type (CID and Operator)
Flash with the corresponding firmware
Reinstall HSPL/RSPL from DFT Team
Now you may flash the required firmware such as DFT, custom builds etc...
