[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?
Btw i can't download this file:

The link is either broken or i can't download from Rapidshare. I found the other files through mirrored links but i can't find this :S
I do prefer www.mediafire.com though. I really hope that someone can help me get pass this. Thanks in advance

I need help please :S

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!

Cant unlock nodo need help

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

Thanks alot I am gonna do that now. Really thankful
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

[Q] htc arrive sprint 7392

hey everyone i recently got my htc arrive [sprint] and it came with the 7392 update pre installed and i was woundering if there is anyway to downgrade it or unlock it, if so thankyou very much!
From what I've read in different parts of this forum, people downgrade to an earlier version of WP7 by using Zune to restore to the point before they upgraded, and that's not possible in your case because you didn't upgrade in the first place!
Another way I could think of it to install on your device a ROM for an earlier version of WP7, but then you might face problems with CDMA because it wasn't supported in the early versions, so unless you can put a ROM for the HTC 7 Pro's old WP7 then unlock it then upgrade and get CDMA support again, it might not be possible :S
...
i cant find a rom for my phone. they have them but not for the htc arrive sprint model and i wanted to work on a jail break for my phone or for the nodo but i really dont know where to start. does anyone have a htc arrive pre nodo update for sprint?
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231035 and this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1261582 or this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099458
i dont get where you are trying to point me to go. first link is for htc 7 pro non sprint and then i check out the dev unlock which dosnt work anymore cause microsoft dosnt have that edu email regester anymore you have to regester by school. and plus i really do not feel comfortable using my ssn!
You can't downgrade past NoDo. Since NoDo is required for CDMA support, there is no way to downgrade further since your phone never had a version of WP7 prior to NoDo. Even if you could, you'd likely break your phone.
no your wrong because the demo phone in my store is 7004 cdma so enuff of this cdma non supported on the older verson first off the phone is cdma not gsm! wait if i dump the demos phone 7004 update could i use it on my main phone?

How to go form 7720RTM (leaked) to 7720 over the air and keep chevron?

Im running 7720rtm (leaked) unlocked. Ive been getting alot of notifications to update my phone. I want to download those updates, but how do I do it without losing chevron unlock?
Im sure there is a guide but im not exactly sure what im looking for
anyone .... please??
I know this has been covered but im not up to date on the new lingo and the updates microsoft has been putting out. I am at 7720 (leaked, not beta) and unlocked and have need getting update notifications. I want to install the updates but I want to stay unlocked.
Also, what are we calling those updates, are they different from 7720, someone please educate me on this casue im really in the dark here.
Hi
I've also updated my Windows Phone (Samsung Omnia 7) from 7720 leaked RTM unlocked with Chevron WP7 with the Zune update and I didn't lose the jailbreak, so don't worry and update normally via Zune
Its amazing how little help noobs get on this forum.
Thanks to AshleyT, I got my answer and did the update.
You can do the update without losing chevron. I am at 7720.68 and still unlocked.

Either install a custom 7740 DFT ROM for HD7, or flash a stock ROM.
If you flash a stock ROM, you need to unlock the phone using Chevron method, upgrade to NoDo and use the "provxml" method to retain your unlock in Mango 7720. I donno if the unlock is retained when you update to 7740 though.
