I just got a new HTC Trophy and I have been doing extensive reading about unlock options, etc.
Just to give you a quick overview, I have dev unlocked my phone (as a student), and am running NoDo. I know that I cannot run ChevronWP7 on this phone as NoDo was required for CDMA networks.
My question is- can I somehow get a non-dev unlock (i.e., an unlimited sideload unlock) using Mango? I apologize if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anywhere that detailed this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hmm this question is better asked at the HTC Trophy section.
I'm still not that experienced so bare with me.
Lets see first if we can do something about this without Flashing your ROM.
First can you sideload 3rd Party apps? Say the U2M7720.XAP file on this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287505
Because from my understanding that Dev-Unlock = ChevUnlock ?
If you can sideload this app and use it then follow the steps on that thread to the letter and you should have Mango with Unlock + INTEROP-UNLOCK.
Now in case you can't sideload apps, only solution is to flash a ROM with Mango Jailbroken. Check these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269652
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
Couple of tips:
1- If you choose the Flashing method, READ every single warning and step, you don't want to end up with a Bricked/Half-Bricked device.
2- Take a full backup before trying to mess around with your phone.
3- Have a copy of your original ROM, try hitting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924333
Let me know how it goes for you.
Thanks for the reply. After reading your post and looking at your threads, I am even more confused than ever.
So, yes I have already sideloaded 2 apps (not the one you referenced in your post)- I have a dev (student) unlocked phone, so I guess I can sideload up to 3 apps...
The 1st link - isn't that for phones that were unlocked via ChevronWP7?
Any assistance (and hand-holding ) would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - here is my post to another thread explaining where this failed for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18372718&postcount=13
So LiFePo4, what is your end goal, to be interop-unlocked (i.e., sideload more than 10 apps), or just dev-unlocked on Mango?
Xenohart, do you have experience getting the HTC Trophy unlocked (> 10 sideloaded apps)?

Interop-unlock so I can sideload homebrews such as ACT or Registry Editor from Schaps and others. Dev-unlock does not enable you to sideload any homebrews.
So are you running Mango w/Interop-unlock, or NoDo?
I have two phones (one is wife's). Hers is Mango but locked (until I find a way to interop-unlock; I can do a dev-unlock but it doesn't buy me anything right now). My phone is NoDo Dev-unlocked and interop-unlocked. I am staying on NoDo for other reasons but like having the interop-unlock
I believe Ansar and Heathcliff are on the verge of a breakthrough.
Ansar will release something in the coming days (hopefully), as it seems he found a way to unlock official Mango. So for the guys unable to unlock the Trophy, keep your eyes open.

any progress with this? links to heathcliff and ansar? I'm new to the process.

You need HTC connection setup to interop unlock and it was pulled off the marketplace so unless your phone had it on from the start.... might be screwed
Iam stuck on nodo with a cdma sprint arrive because of this.
@snapz54: Heathcliff74, Ansar, and most of the other folks working on HTC interop-unlocks, myself included, mostly post on the Development and Hacking sub-forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606). Please read the stickies before posting there; it's not a Q&A forum the way this one is.

@GoodDayToDie: Thanks for that info - the problem for myself is that it is almost impossible to find answers to specific questions on the Development/Hacking forum (or on any forum here for that matter). There isn't a centralized Wiki/FAQ on issues/questions like this. I find that the stickies usually are tens of pages long and just when you're about to find an answer, the post you think contains the answer mentions 2 or 3 other forum posts that it links to to get the answer, so by the time I think I've found answer, I have like 10 different tabs open in my browser, all for various forum posts that were linked from one of the main stickies.
I've gotten both "Yes you can upgrade to Mango with a Verizon-based HTC Trophy and keep it interop unlocked" and "No it is not possible at this time". If you could shed some light on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for my mini-rant.
@Avazee: The search feature on these forums could be a lot better, but it does exist. You can also just use an external search engine (Bing/Google/whatever) and do a search with " site:xda-developers.com" to find things.
I don't know for sure if it's currently possible to Interop-unlock a Trophy, or any HTC phone. My HD7 is interop-unlocked, but I've heard the method I used (coming from the beta) doesn't work anymore. The usual approaches mentioned to getting interop-unlocked on HTC Mango rely on an app called U2M7720, by ansar.ath.gr. This app provisions your phone through the pre-release Mango update process, which should give you a window between updates where you can interop-unlock Mango.
Using the retail upgrade path will not work. You will need to roll back; nobody currently knows a way to interop-unlock an HTC phone that is already on Mango. Alternatively, there are custom ROMs for HTC phones that provide Mango with interop-unlock already baked in.

I hate to say this but I never had to ask how to flash a ROM to my TytnII (AT&T Tilt). Every question on flashing ROMs has been answered time and time again. It doesn't matter what phone (Pocket PC, Smart phone, or other), you need to unlock it before you can change the OS, built-in OEM software, or the entire ROM on the device. You will only be able to update the device with the manufacturer's or cellphone comany's software updates if you do not unlock the phone.
As for updating to WM6.1, there is no update method that I know of. You will have to flash an entire 6.1 ROM to your phone. If your cell phone company releases an "update" to 6.1, it will most likely be a complete ROM and not an update like they might say.
Due to European law, most all phones are unlocked for use on different networks. That does not mean you can just flash any ROM to your phone, it still has to be software unlocked.
HINT: look up "HardSPL" or use the XDA-Wiki link at the top of your screen.

I'm new to this and tried searching for an answer but couldn't see it.
How to i get S_OFF? And what are the advantages? Do I need to do it? Help Me. Please.
Thanks,
Dan.
The how is going to vary greatly depending on what phone you have. You may want to find the forum specific to your device to find that information.
As to why - one reason is the ability to do nandroid backups/restores (more specifically the restore, I believe)

You should have said which device you have and post it in your device's general section. Anyways if you happen to have an HTC Aria with HBOOT 1.02.0000 then check here: http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthr...boot-1.02.0000. The advantage is that you would be able to downgrade the HBOOT allowing you to be able to root the phone rather than being stuck with the dreadful software update. If you want more freedom on your phone, then yes you need it.N.B- This is only for the HTC Aria (As far as I know).

Get the WP SDK. Then unlock your phone using a token and use the application deployment tool to get the XAP on your device. XAPs from the marketplace won't be deployable.
Note that we currently don't have a way to interop-unlock the stock ROM of gen2 HTC phones, such as your Titan. This means that you will be limited to 10 (or 3, if you're on a free account) unsigned apps, and that you won't be able to use high-privilege apps.
I and several others are still working on finding more interop-unlock hacks, but it is quite impossible to give any kind of ETA for this. A breakthrough may occur tomorrow, or may never come before we move on to other goals.
If you want high-privilege apps, or large numbers of homebrew apps, you will currently need to install HSPL and a custom ROM.

You can't install the vanilla Nokia Drive on your phone, but it is patchable to make it work. As a pre-requisite, you need a developer unlock. If somebody is going to suggest it or you read it somewhere: Do not change your device ID to a Nokia phone, that might have broader impact.

Well, in you're case it's complicated because you're trying to install an app that isn't supposed to be available for your phone. As far as reasons for thing to be complicated go, that's a pretty fair one, I think... and yet by the standards of most of the stuff we do here, it's pretty simple. Of course, if you want to make Nokia Drive *work* on a non-Nokia phone, that's slightly more complex (it requires modifying the app), but - much like creating full-unlocked custom ROMs and bootloader unlocks - somebody else has probably already done that part for you.
Hey all, I'm new here, but I've been lurking for a few days in all boards relating to WP7.8, etc.
I really do hesitate when I make this thread, because I know a lot of other people have already asked how to do this,
HOWEVER! I can't seem to pull together all of the information I need- the trail seems to go cold after a while,
I have an HTC Arrive (Gold C) on Sprint, With Mango & SPL 4.3
What I am trying to do is get to a point where I can install a 7.8 custom ROM, or simply, I'm trying to get HSPL (which, if I'm correct, requires me to downgrade to NoDo?)
After reading, it looks like the solution to my problem is to use Ansar's NoDo RUU for the Arrive, then, use the Dark Forces Team HSPL Loader to load HSPL onto my Arrive, and then finally, install a ROM like leadpoizon's Custom 7.8 ROM.
I'm pretty tech savvy, but as far as mobile devices go, the hardest thing I've ever had to do was jailbreak a few iPods, and install CFWs on PSPs.
I will openly admit, just putting this information together has been a confusing painus in the anus for me.
My problem is thus - I haven't been able to do any of this because Ansar's NoDo RUU (and, as it would seem, the rest of his RapidShare files) are all down because his bandwidth on RS ran out.
Does anybody have a copy of the NoDo RUU for the Arrive that they'd be willing to upload?
I'd be suuuper appreciative...
Thanks for your time and patience with my utter-noobliness.
I'll be sure to make a proper introductory post later, but I've got work and I'm out of time.

Hello Friends,
I have purchased unlocked HTC M8 , got Android on it. I want to install Windows 8.1 on it. Do we have official global Windows 8.1. ?
Plus after installing Windows 8.1 will it be possible to upgrade to Windows 10 ?
It is currently (and also likely) not possible to install WP8.1 on an Android M8 (I tried) because there is no way to put the WP bootloader onto the Android M8, and from the information I found during my attempt, the PBL of the WP version also contain secure boot, which is not present on the Android version, this can have effects on the OS that we don't know of yet.
Super misleading title...

Right, but look at the keywords of your first sentence. Android, wanting to put Windows 8.1 on it. There are many threads that ask this same question and the same answer and reasoning has been given.
Until Microsoft and HTC somehow publicly announce an interchangeable ROM, then the answer is no. WP 8.1-specific ROMs are only usable on WP8.1 specific handsets, unless otherwise deemed so due to the lovely secure boot that WP requires.

lol.. i hope you realize that you're in the windows variant subforum of the htc m8.
we never said it's possible or easy without lots of skill/efforts. just noobs asking the same thing again and we reply.
windows version has totally different bootloader. is that our fault in any way?
and.. RUU zip is not useless at all.. people with windows variant can use this to restore their devices.
so stop acting as if you're in a android device forum.
