Chevron Unlock not working anymore on older software versions

I decided I was going to retry getting my HTC Arrive back to Mango and keeping Interop Unlock.
So I flashed it back to Nodo, then went to run the paid version of Chevron Unlock and it now gives a message saying your phone is not on the newest software version please update then re run unlock.
So is this something they have changed now, is there no way for me to unlock Nodo anymore ?
Just had confirmation from Chevron that this is the case, MS made them only unlock Mango and newer

[Q] Chevron 10 xap limit?

There is no mention of it on chevronwp7, but is it true that after unlocked, only 10 apps/xaps can be sideloaded?
If so, is there a method to increase this number?
If it's a dumb question, sorry. I'm not really that knowledgeable.
yes / depends
The Chevron Unlock does the same as the normal Developer Unlock which allowes you to sideload 10 applications. You can sideload more apps if you are interop unlocked.
So i do the chevron unlock, and then interop after that, and i'll be able to sideload more than 10? I was planing to do interop anyway.
Again, sorry if dumb, but i DO need chevron/developer unlock to do interop?
Yeah being chevron unlocked first is a requirement in most situations ...if not all . But yeah interop gets you unlimited.

HTC arrive Nodo to mango unlocking

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

Verizon Trophy interop unlock

Can someone help me find interop unlock for updated trophy? Heathcliff's method on connection setup is greyed out for me to change over to GSM while unlocking...
Any help?
Thanks.!
If your going to go through all that trouble why not just flash your phone with a custome ROM?

Update to 7.8 and interop unlock

I'm interop unlocked on a Samsung Focus running update: 7.10.8773.98
If I update to official 7.8 (7.10.8858.136) using Zune or JaxBot's tool will the phone stay interop unlocked?
I'm fairly sure that if I update through cab method interop will be preserved but I want to know for Zune.
My question also stands for all others with Samsung Omnia 7, LG, HD7 etc having update 7.10.8773.98. If all these phones update officialy (assume Zune) will the interop unlock be preserved?
Thanks
afaik people have reported that interop is preserved as long as you update the cabs while in airplane mode, also using wp root tools' "prevent relock" feature
zune, of course, would "invalidate" airplane mode, so...

just remembered about this thread:

If you changed your device ID, and didn't update in airplane mode, you can always soft reset to get your original device ID and then windowbreak again. Of course you lose all data in this process.
I have update to official 7.8 (7.10.8858.136) using JaxBot's tool .
The phone stay interop unlocked. 100%
must use prevent relock with WP root tools.
and edit hosts file: Alternatively, you can navigate to %systemroot%/system32/drivers/etc and edit the hosts file, adding this line to the end:
192.168.1.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com
I have updated yesterday (March 23rd) via Zune. Interop works. I can still use provisioning and Root Tools works.
OS ver: 7.10.8862.144
PDA: KI4
NOTE: I didn't interop unlock my phone via WindowBreak but via xap.
Maybe someone who used WindowBreak can confirm.
LE: noticed that the WindoBreak provisioning entry is still there so there are good chances that interop still works for those with WindowBreak. Also Heathcliff's unlock should help
