Htc Mozart No Unlock Help

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913748
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.

Why does not unlock the phone, I'll break problem where I did downgrade to 7004 but does not unlock chavron

i want to receive mango through zune but i am stuck on mango beta with no backup

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.

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] Flashing HTC Surround with DFT rom or downgrade to nodo

Hello everybody,
I am a noob on flashing Windows Phones. Since I cannot wait for interop-unlock for my phone I could use some help on flashing my AT&T surround.
1) How do I use the DTF RSPL to flash their rom? If someone has a sort of complete tutorial on how to do that I'll really apppreciate.
2) They said not to use RSPL with Mango RUU or with SHubert 4.XX. I have Mango (7720) installed on my device with all the updates. Can I still use RSPL (version and number looks compatible)?
If not of them is working can I revert back to Nodo (and how) to interop unlock and then upgrade.
I have searched the whole forum but I am not able to get a complete view of the processes.

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.
