Hello. I got my HTC 7 Trophy developer - unlocked to install bt file sharing app, but it need fully unlocked phone... I tried getting it fully unlocked via RSPL launcher, I did everything by instructions, but it seems that i'm not getting "USB" sign at the bottom of the tri- color screen when im in bootloader. Anyone know how to fix this or another way to do full- unlock? Oh yeah, i tried custom rom... not working... It says that it's not connected to computer when in bootloader, but when it' regular, it connects to zune and sync and stuff.... Sorry for my english, and i'm also kind of noob when it gets to this... Help is appreciated.
not possible yet, experienced the same problem. not even with goldcard.

Hello,
I am new to XDA and im getting ready to attempt, for the first time, flashing one of my phones to WM6. First of all Ive read the forum rules.ive gone through the tutorials and i have a decent understanding of how to unlock the CID and how to flash the phone. But after hours of searching i havent found a concrete answer to a question or 2.
I have a P4300 (110) running WM5. Its a G4 model as on startup it say 2.28.0001. This was purchased from a small cell phone company named UNICEL which is no longer in business and the phone has a UNICEL splash screen.
Since this company is not in business im unable to get the origional oem rom. Unless someone knows something i dont. Ive searched XDA, googled it, went to htc.com and got nothing.
Which brings me to my question. Is it imperitive that i have the origional oem rom? Or if i just unlock the CID will i then be able to flash to a wm6 rom? The SIM is already unlocked.
Also one last question. Im not sure how to correctly get into bootloader mode. I read some tutorials and it gave the same options as doing a hard reset. Is that considered the same thing?
Anyways sorry for the novel. Ive just been unable to find an answer for this searching xda and google. Thanks!
Oh and I fogot to mention im actually going to upgrade to WM6.1. Not that it makes a difference. But figured id mention it...
*** UPDATE ***
Ok.. I got the phone in bootloader mode finally. But now I'm having trouble syncing my phone in bootloader mode. I have windows VISTA and i know activesync has been replaced with Windows Mobile Device Center. I followed this tutorial --- > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338473 to a T. And it still doesnt work. I can see the windows mobile device in Device manager. But windows mobile device center won't connect to it, and i tried running Hard SPL and it cannot find the device either. Is there a new way to go about this in Vista? I noticed this tutorial was a bit aged.
Thanks!
Connect your phone to the usb cable... go to my computer -> right click -> Manage... Then go to Device Manager and click on anything from that list and than click that little icon -> scan for hardware changes... than it detects your phone... this is how it works for me... i have to do it every time i connect my phone... and hope it works for you to...
and... if you decided to flash to a new ROM... go to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies and follow the guide.
don`t put the phone in bootloader mode when you try to sync with the pc... it won`t detect it... when you will start the RUU then it will go it self in bootloader...
Hi all,
I have read alot of your articles to update to WM 6.5. I have a Palm Treo 750I downloaded the CeetahUnlocker.exe and the Cheeimg.nbh. I ran the CeetahUnlocker.exe and clicked on the "Flash SPL" which after my second try worked fine. My phone boots with the Palm logo and not the AT&T logo it initially had. The other thing when I hold the media key and do a soft reset the phone enters the Bootloader program, therefore I think the "Flash SPL" went okay. The problem I am having is that the second step "Unlock Radio" does not work that is a ERROR message happens after the phone goes into the Bootloader mode. Can you guys tell me If my phone was unlocked to use my local carrier do I have to unlock the radio ect. Please help as this is becoming very fustrating.
thank you in advance
Anthony
Come on guys... anyone, someone pls help...
Hi, u just need to use the Athena_unlocker at that point to unlock ur carrier and thats it
I bought my phone unlock so do I still need to do this. Their are 2 Carrier in my country and I can use the simm card of anyone of them...
If your phone was unlocked, then you don't need to do it again. Flashing ROMs using Hard SPL will not change its status in that regard.
Can you tell me then the steps for updtaing to WM 6.5 please
Assuming you have correctly run the HardSPL, there are many threads in this section that describe how to flash a ROM, so there's no reason to re-hash the instructions yet again here.
Pick your preferred version of WM6.5 (keeping in mind they all still have major bugs) and flash it. If you don't like it, then keep trying until you find one you like.
The WM6.1 ROM is the most stable and bug free however, just as an FYI. The WM6.5 ROMs are fun to play with, but I wouldn't recommend them as a permanent install for most people unless the known bugs don't affect functions you regularly use.
Here new ROM for Spark with NoDo update
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cae00d4/n/RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.00_Spark_5.54.09_RELEASE.exe
Enjoy!
Build 7355-89
when i enter bootloader mode (tri-color screen) the update comes to the point where i can update.
But I'm afraid to brick the phone.

Edit2:

edit3:
I can confirm its the NODO with copy and paste
os version: 7.0.7389.0
radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)
Updating my Spark now by GoldCard method (Vodafone NL)...
...updated fine. Installing Apps now.
Excuse my ignorance, but will unbranding what was originally a Vodafone handset affect my ability to get further updates incrementally (like 7008) without having to reflash an entire ROM?
Thanks,
Niall

Hi,
can you tell me, if chevron is running?
What about other apps?
Andy
Worked fine for me : French Vodafone with goldcard trick!
Can you please tell if the flash is working with Chevron to unlock? And the second thing, will be to apply update from Microsoft to this ROM or will need to re-flash? Thank you.
It worked fine for me.
First flash with WP7.
Just booted to bootloader. Hold vol down, when turned off and press on button once.
Then just plug in the usb and run this file. No prob. Just like the WM6 days.
Cant unlock with chevron, not sure if its the Nodo or Chevron, in my case though. I have unlocked before, and done all the tricks on a fresh install. No luck, so i guess its not unlockable for now. Some guy is working on a wifi transfer, which forces the phone to think its from marketplace and therefore okay. Been told release is 25 March, so we can just wait.
chevron DO NOT work on NoDo updated roms...
Thanks.
I managed to flash this rom via goldcard method.
It does run faster. And copy/paste is a beast.
but, is it just me or the signal quality drops after flashing this rom?
havent had any problems with the signal. Phone works great.
Yeah it works great, but impossible to unlock!
I try to restore this rom ... I did:
turn of phone
hold down button and press ON once
I'm in 3 color mode
Plug in USB, USB is recognized on phone
run the .EXE file
But the RUU update says that my phone is not recognized ... It get 260: Connection Error
The usb is working on Zune, so that is no problem
Suggestions ?
Will this work on the US Verizon Trophy?

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.

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!
