[Q] Unlocking my Phone [Mango]

Hey there.. I've been thinking on how to solve my problem but idk how to do so..
Phone: HTC 7 Trophy
Current Version: Mango
I had a clean NoDo version (NoDo Based Phone) and i went on to "update" it into Mango without unlocking it and i now face a problem of installing .xap files into my phone.. :S
Yea. So i went to look for solutions and i know that i'll have to restore my phone and unlock it before updating to Mango so that it'll be a unlocked Mango. But the problem is all i see on the net is to unlock the NoDo version using Chevron and if i'm not wrong it is currently down..
OR
By creating a dev account which i can't and idk why :S.
I hope that you people can help me out.. I've been stuckeddd for a few days already :/
And how can i check if my phone is locked, i heard from people saying i can check it by trying if "Connection Setup" works on a mangoed phone. Mine works but well.. Idk :S. Ive tried deploying xap files into my phone but they always state, make sure that my phone was unlocked.. I've tried diff apps already :S Almost all
Oh and i'm able to use multi-tasking o.o.

Hi Junshengkoh,
Read through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501, it provides a complete guide on how to perform the unlocked Mango upgrade. It also refers to another guide by Ansar which will show you how to perform the XML provisioning at each step to ensure you keep your unlocked status.
Hope this helps,
Creamy

Thank you for your help.
So that means that I can unlock my Mango based phone?
Btw, these won't work on a XP computer right? Only on Vista and Windows 7?

I don't think there is a way to do the Chevron unlock on the CDMA WP7 phones that come with NoDo stock. You have to be pre-NoDo for Chevron to work and there is no pre-NoDo CDMA ROM (I think; I could be wrong). I am in the same situation and paid to become a developer to get mine unlocked. Sorry...

Haha thankyou very much for explaining it to me!

chevron wp7 not working for me need help please!!

hey guys i have been trying 6 hours today get my phone unlocked so i can get game using tom xap installer will i tried a lot of things like changing date and put airplane mode on. None of them are working though all i keep getting is sorry i'm having trouble communicating with your phone. please make sure it connected with a usb cable... and so on. I install the cert on my phone through the email to but still gave me the same reply. please help i am new and not sure how to do this :\

what software version is on ur phone must be pre nodo for chevron to work

Yah make sure you have a 7004/7008 pre-nodo rom and make an exception in your firewall for chevron. The second one hung me up for a while. I have eset and had to add a rule to allow connection after that worked perfect. Chevron wont work at all on 7392(nodo) roms or higher. Microsoft fixed the hole chevron used in nodo.

[Q] SPL not listed within RSPL

On my HTC7, my SPL version is v1.24 which isnt listed within the RSPL choice menu. Not just wanting to gamble and try v1.23 or v1.25 & end up bricking my phone, what advice would you give me. My Goal is to have RTM mango with Chevron
My current build is>

I have made a complete backup of my phone already & its currently Chevron unlocked & carrier unlocked
Sorry, Noob

rspl is needed to flash custom roms which u do not need when goin to rtm mango...
u need to make sure u prevent relock then update through zune to latest update then follow post #2 here .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501

To prevent relock i assume that u mean edit the registry adding the two new value's.
Hopefully your answer is yes, i have i have done this already

yes that is one way of doing it... if after syncing with zune u r still able to sideload apps that means u have prevented relock.

Tried and tested the relock by syncing with Zune, and all still works.
So i should now connect the phone to zune 4.7 & do the "February" update then follow tutorial in post 2 here>
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501

yes follow instructions and read comments should u come across any problems and if all goes well u will be on rtm mango unlocked good luck !

Something went rong Got all the way to 7403 & after updating to 7712 (section8) chevron lock was enabled.
Can go back to my original backup file i made b4 any update were applied and start again using "Windows Phone Support Tool" ?

sorry to hear that ... u should be able to restore through zune back to nodo it will still be unclocked and start again with going to 7403...

I rolled back to pre 7392 & updated through Zune to bring back up to 7392.
Following the tut on Post2 section7, i installed "Unlock_Mango_XBMODDeployer.xap" and moved "copy CustClear.provxml" to the correct place but Zune tells me my phone is currently up to date so im unable to move forward and update to Beta 7403
Any ideas?
Quote>
b. Start XBMOD.Files.Deployer (Installed in #5) on your device, it will install a file called CustClear.provxml. Remember to uninstall XBMOD.Files.Deployer after its done.
c. Run TouchXplorer and copy CustClear.provxml from My Documents\My Ringtones\ to \Windows, then exit Touchxplorer.

6. Open the "NoDoToRC" folder and run the file "ISV_Provisioning_Live.exe" with admin rights (right click on the file..)

Thanks for all your help but "ISV_Provisioning_Live" i cant get to work correctly. I have tried it on two separate computers running win7. (One 64bit & the 32bit)
Made sure that i had Installed "Setup-UpdateWP"
The "Provisioning_Live" app will close Zune but then hangs. Occasionally a message will appear within the "ISV_Provisioning_Live" app telling me i have 55 seconds to unlock my phone.
My phone's lock isnt on, & nor the phone or application are showing anykind of activity.
I have placed the app in the root also & within its own folder, with the same results. The log also has no information. I have tried Zune 4.7 & 4.8, tried compatibility, Admin and non Admin mode also.
Luck just isnt on my side with this
I had even restored the phone right back to the original o/s that the phone was shipped with.

try uinstalling then reinstalling the windows phone update tool

Spent a few more hours on it today & im almost there
Adding the the 2 new registry value's to prevent Chevron relock will only work up to build 7392. After updating to build 7712 Chevron unlock is lost.
Im going to have to find a different way of preventing Chevron relock before i can retry.
My full backup build is 7004, but i also have now a second backup made by "ISV Provisioning Live" which is 7392.
I can restore either of my backup's on my phone but i dont know which to choose as my starting point, and how to stop Chevron from relocking

im confused lol . are u not following the steps for 7004 to 7712 while keeping unlock ?

bigtime1, Thankyou so much for your patience, finally completed it tonight and now running a chevron unlocked 7720
Had alot of hurdles but finally got there in the end & it was well worth it.. Ohh Happy days
Thanks again bigtime1, i couldnt of done it without your help

you are welcome glad to see u got it done.

Chevron unlock methods only work on OS version 7004 and 7008. Flash it to factory ROM, unlock it and use provxml method to retain unlock in mango and then update to mango.
Or you could use a DFT mango custom ROM.

Follow the instructions to install the Rom in a correct way.
If you have problems to connect your phone with the software
you maybe forgot to install all the drivers and software that is needed.
Do you see in the Bootloader "Serial" or "USB" ???

[Q] Please help??

Hey, I have a HTC surround running windows 7.5 the os version is 7.10.7720.68
And I recently have tried to developer unlock my phone using chevronwp7.
But everytime I press unlock, it says I'm having problems connecting to your device, make sure it is pin unlocked and Zune is running; which it is. Can someone PLEASE guide me in the right direction? Thank you guys so much

Zune must be closed and your HTC should not be on the lock screen

Wrong thread!

I thought Zune must be OPEN. Anyways, I tried it without and it didn't work. Is my phone os too new? What else can I do? Thanks so much for your reply too

Have you installed Windows Phone SDK?
Have you installed Windows Phone Support Tool?
Have you installed Microsoft .NET Framework 4?
If yes read here ChevronWP7 Labs FAQ or contact support Chevron for solve your problem

Okay I'm still very new to windows phone 7, as I stated, I have wp7.5, os:7.10.7720.68.I have boot loader: 4.3.2250.0(128976). can someone please tell me how I would go about flashing a stock ruu? Do I have to mess with rspl/hspl yet? Please can someone help? I'm sorry for taking your time as well. Thank you much.
And also, sorry for being such a dreaded noob, but what application should I install for the bootloader mode when connect my surround in? Im on windows xp. Thanks again so much, I don't know what I would do without you guys.

Okayyyyy... a few things.
First. it looks like you're trying to use the original ChevronWP7 unlock. That tool is dead, and has been for over a year (it only worked on pre-NoDo ROMs). This is well documented. I'm not sure why people keep trying it... you'd think they'd read up a little before trying to use a hack on their phone.
Second. Why do you want to flash a stock ROM? (RUU = ROM Update Utility) In any case, the procedure is simple: turn the phone off, hold the Volume Down button, press Power to start the phone again. It'll boot to a screen with bands of color and yellow text. Next, connect it to the PC. You'll need the relevant drivers; Vista and up will install them automatically but for some reason you're still running an 11-year-old OS on your PC so you might need to install them manually (I think they are included with the Windows Mobile Device Center download from Microsoft). The phone should say USB at the bottom when it's connected; at that point just run the RUU program.
Thrid. RSPL / HSPL are replacement bootloaders for WP7. They allow installing custom ROMs. If you want to do that, you'll need to first downgrade your current bootloader; SPL 4.3 is too high for using RSPL. Since you're not on SPL 5.X yet, I think you can downgrade just by installing an older stock ROM or radio update. Otherwise, there are a number of guides for how to downgrade the SPL.

That's the reason I need to downgrade lol thanks

By chance, do you know the new way to unlock or do I have to flash a custom rom? Thanks

You are on a developer-locked HTC phone? The first option is to try getting dev-unlocked, for example by getting an AppHub account or a friend who has one. They're free for students (go through Dreamspark). The second option is to use a custom ROM. The third option is to wait until a new hack is found.
Once you're dev-unlocked, you can use the Interop-Unlock app from Heathcliff74 (the HTC one, specifically) to allow unlimited sideloading. Then, you can install WP7 Root Tools 0.9 to get nearly full access to the device.

Thanks so much. Will report back with results.

So sorry, but I did all the research I could and couldn't find an updated method of going through dreamspark. I registered and man I hate myself for this, but can anyone help me please?
EDIT: I am enjoying interop unlock on intrinsic ROM and I love it!!! Thank you all so much for your help! My next and hopefully last question is, is it okay to update my radio while I have hspl? Or do I have to ospl first thanks!
