So i have a Focus
and my objective is to jailbreak it
already was, thing is i never patched it so it wont relock and it did since i use the chevron updater to get NoDo
now i want to flash back to where i had no update installed so i can jailbreak
how can i ? if there is a method
as for my objective is to jailbreak it
Kinda hard to understand what you are saying, but I will take a guess at what you are meaning.
If you updated your phone to Nodo and forgot to dev unlock + prevent relock via the registry you can go undo your update by using the backup function in the Zune software... so long as a backup is made. From there do the dev unlock and take the steps necessary to prevent relock, then update to Nodo. Once you are updated your phone will still be unlocked and will not relock.
I did this in my Focus.
where do i go to do the back up on the software i can't find to restore to that previous point
- thank you by the way this is helping !
If you did the chevron update to get nodo... No backup is made. You are out of luck until a nodo unlocker is developed.

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'm new to hacking the WP7 and I have a Samsung Focus. I've tried to update to Mango to no avail. I'm to a point now that I know I need to flash to a 7004 ROM in order to install the NoDo update and bounce up to Mangos with all the sideloaded apps or whatever. The only problem is that I can't find out how to revert back to 7004, and I DO have a backup of my Original 7390 and have that backed up about 2 other times just in case.
So my question here is, How can I revert to 7004 and bounce up to the Mango Beta? Or can I go from 7390 to Mango? I tried Chevron but found out it doesn't work with any version of the software besides 7004.
All help will be appreciated.
What error are you getting when try to update?
Is it 80180048?
No...I can't unlock the device to apply the .xap files to it. I'm on version 7390 and need to go back to 7004 for ChevronWP7 to work and unlock my phone.
Just now noticed you have a Nodo backup...you need your pre-Nodo backup... which I'm guessing that you didn't think to make a copy of.
You can't unlock your phone in Nodo... without being a registered developer.
So you need to roll back to pre-Nodo in order to unlock it ... you have 2 options.
I can only assume that you know how to restore to a back up in Zune. In case you don't in Zune you click settings, select phone, click update and if you have a back up then you will have a restore option. If it's recognizing your phone you should have a back up there.
A phones backup is unique to 1 device... so if somehow you don't have your back up you will have to move onto option 2 which is flashing your phone.
There's is one other option... the Chevron team is eventually going to release a unlocking tool for Nodo at a small fee. It's been coming soon since June 17... so only a matter of time.
I have a Samsung Focus that I am trying to update. I am trying to follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344
However, I don't understand this part:
Code:
4. Run Application Deployment, click on browse
--- for hTC phones, click on TouchXplorer.xap
--- 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..
Sent from my LG Optimus 7
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!
I have a htc arrive and really want to interop unlock it. If I flash my phone back to nodo and dev unlock it is there a way I can upgrade back to mango and still be unlocked?
Developer unlock via Chevron is not possible on NoDo and later updates. You either need OS version 7004 or 7008 for unlocking it via Chevron method.
And yes, it is possible to retain unlock via provxml method, although I am not sure if it works on hTC devices.
You can always flash a DFT custom ROM though
Their is no DFT rom for the arrive also I planned to unlock using dev unlock tool
In that case, flash a 7004 ROM and unlock it via Chevron.
That cant be done because it is a HTC arrive and never had a 7004 rom out
