Well, it's really hard to understand your question. If I understood right, your phone is running a ChevronWP7 unlocked WP7 with NoDo installed - is that correct? And now you want to go to Mango (beta) without loosing your jailbreak?

Dear developers,
I downloaded the latest windows phone 7 update, but it seems to relock my handset again ... I just needed the copy paste feature, so can I keep that and unlock my handset again?
Thank you soo much for your assistance.
Try doing a search before you post your question, as it has been answered one too many times.
You can't dev unlock your device once you have the NoDo update. You must unlock your device and apply the registry edit to keep it unlocked before you apply the update.
thanks for your kind support, but u didnt have to draw my attention to the searching part!
Tell us which handset you have...since LG handsets can be unlocked even after the update.
i have a lg optimus 7, so can i still do all the chevron thingy after the update?

Can you create one if you're not from USA nor have a USA credit card?
Are you kidding me.
ignore what people say about your sol, you just have to restore your device to the previous update using the zune software. i did it for my Samsung focus and got my device dev unlocked again. just make sure to do that registry hack to make your phone from relocking when you update it too NODO again.
I currently have a dev unlocked, unbranded, NODO updated, Samsung Focus!!!

here are instructions on how to unlock your phone after NoDo. I did this after upgrading my pristine LG Quantum to NoDo and then realized that I forgot to unlock first. You install the MFG app first by calling a number. Then you change your registry with MFG according to the post. Here are instructions on how to install the MFG app. Note that this works without Chevron. In fact, Chevron will not work after that (and would not even work after that before NoDo).
good luck
Just a simple question i have a HTC HD7 on 7.0.7390.0 unlocked and i want to find out if i updated it to 7.0.7392.0 using Zune would my phone still be unlocked?
Why would you want to update, when you know you will lose all youur texts?

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
hope i helped.. and remember, if anything would go wrong you can allways "restore" with the zune software to a previous version
hope i helped

@ JBC2005. How did you stay unlocked. My phone was relocked when I went to 7390. If I'm @ 7392 now can I unlock from here?

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.

what do u mean bu the registry key?? When I updated my HTC hd7 I was told to put airplane mode on and update and now its unlock is it the same now with this update?

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

Hey, just something quick. I'm running teh Mango beta but i keep hearing about the pros of unlocking your phone. So I wanted to unlock. I recieved this phone without the NoDo update, since it downloaded that when I first used zune.
So can I just click return to factory settings on the phone and then use chevron? then go through all the effort of updating back to mango.
thanks
no u cant..

No ...its not that simple...
Sinse your phone has nodo and its not unlocked you cant use chevron to unlock.
You must first flash a pre-nodo rom (7004 or 7008) unlock with chevron and then update all the way up to mango
Roms for trophy can be found here
I have a Samsung Focus that I am trying to update. I am trying to follow this guide:

However, I don't understand this part:

--- for Omnia 7, click on WP7RootTools 0.5 alpha.xap
-- and click on open
Does my phone need to be unlocked to follow this? Should I do it with Chevron?

if you are not unlocked and upgrade to Mango you will have a hard time unlocking it within Mango (and won't be able to sideload). Unlock in pre-NoDo and then carry the unlock over to NoDo and Mango following the guide. yes, people have successfully carried their Chevron unlock over to NoDo and then Mango. You need to make sure that it cannot relock when you connect to Zune. The tools listed allow you to make the reg changes to do that.
i thought I was reading somewhere that it's not possible to unlock past 7004 or something like that, which was before NoDo? (using Chevron)

you are correct. I corrected my post. So you need to start with
A. NoDo Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7004 to OS February 2011 update and 7392 NoDo
So let me try to understand that, if my phone is unlocked now and when I update to mango it might might not unlock anymore, regardless if I got a SIM code from htc? I am new into this so I'm trying to get into it lol.......
I have a question regarding the official Mango update for my HTC Trophy. I unlocked 7004 via Chevron, did some hacks for preventing it from being relocked (via this thread) and updated to 7392 (NoDo). Everything is OK, device is still unlocked.
What should I do for preventing my device being relocked during the ongoing official Mango update?
Is there already some solution, or will it be after the official Mango release will appear in Zune?

I think we are talking about two different kinds of unlocking. I am referring to unlocking the phone for sideloading homebrew apps. If you upgrade to Mango you might not be able to sideload homebew apps that allow you to customize your phone until the gurus come up with a solution for Mango. Then there is SIM unlock to be able to use a device with a different SIM. I think that is what you are referring to. That will not change for you if you upgrade to Mango.

If you follow Ansar's tutorial you will see that there are preventions you can take to stay unlocked. You basically finished part A of his tutorial and can continue to part B with prerequisites for Mango upgrade.
B. MangoB2 Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7392 [NoDo] to OS 7403 and 7712
In your case 7712 will be 7720.68 once it is released.
When you have all prerequisits finished from Ansar's post you stop there and are ready for official Mango once it comes out.
Reports from people who were NoDo unlocked and proceeded to Mango are mixed. Some kept the unlock some didn't. If it doesn't stay unlocked you have to have the files ready on the device to be able to unlock it without going back to NoDo. This is what Ansar's post explains. For the HTC you will put a CustClear.provxml file in place that you can deploy to unlock it.
This post also explains how to keep it unlocked. You follow the guide to the point at which it does the actual Mango upgrade. That is where you stop and wait for the official one.
But even if your device is locked in Mango you can go back to a NoDo restore point you created before you went to Mango. All explained in the guides/tutorials above.

You think some of those who followed the Ansars guide or those who just upgraded from unlocked NoDo to Mango without any other hacks before update?
The second link is some other guide than Ansars, if I am right, I can choose which one to use?
Thanks for help!

those who just upgraded. I myself just upgraded but luckily for LG users there is an LG phone tool on the device that allows to modify the registry at any stage.
Yip. That's d mfg menu, and I love it..

Today I have succesfuly registered my ISIC student card with validity until december this year into the Microsoft Developer Account.
Now I have Chevron unlocked NoDo WP7 (HTC Trophy) with some modifications to prevent it from relocking during sync etc. I would like to unlock it via official Developer Account I now have.
1) If am not wrong - I should HR my phone, it will go to NoDo locked and then I can use application "Windows Phone Developer Registration" which will unlock my device and it will stay unlocked also after Mango update?
2) Is it possible by developer unlocked device to modify registry entries? I need to add one entry, so I will have Mango in my native language after update.
3) After one year, will it automatically lock my device and I will need to perform new ISIC validation, which will be in that day already expired?
4) If it will expire, will it hard reset or block my phone or will it stay in way it is, but it will not only be possible to side load xap's?
Thanks for answers!
Will updating from the original Mango release to current break my unlock? I don't remember all the details of how I unlocked, except that I had to roll back to pre-Nodo and then do something with unlock.xml and the diagnostics tool.
Zune keeps nagging me to update though. Do I gain/loose anything if I do?
Thanks
Well I have a Samsung Omnia 7 with a Tmobile germany branding and I always updated over Zune whenever an update appeared.
I unlocked my phone back at Nodo times (yeah interop unlocked) and now I am at 8107.
Never lost any apps/files or the unlock itself.
Thanks, I've just updated and mine seems fine too
