I have HTC Surround on ATT and now have Unlocked NoDo. This is what I did and it's pretty simple.
1. Unlock your phone.
2. Debrand your phone.
3. Optional* install Prevent-ReLock App.
4. Turn off Data Connection
5. Turn on Wi-Fi
6. Connect device to Zune
7. This is important - Manually look on Zune for any updates - it will say February Update is availabe. Run that update.
8. After Feb. Update do not disconnect phone and Manually look on Zune for update again. March Update should show up. Run that update.
9. You are done
I can only say that this worked on my Surround, but I gotta believe that this should work for everyone if they follow these steps. This is a whole lot easier than trying to connect to some phone connection in Hungary.
I have heard from other members using different devices getting succesful results.
I did this on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit.
Please post your PC Specs, Device and Carrier when trying this.
Good luck and of course I'm not responsible for any damages.
Windows XP
For those of us with Samsung Focus and running Windows XP, unlocking and unbranding is the first hurdle. We need a solution that does not include Chevron, I believe.

Was Data Connection turned off? Were you on Wifi? Did you try another Manual Update? I've gotten more successes on Samsung Focus then any other Devices. If you got Pre-NoDo you're definitely Unlocked and Debranded from ATT. Trying to root out causes.

HTC Surround for AT&T on Windows 7 64 bit
I unlocked it with chevron and added the prevent lock xap file but i dunno if this debranding is different from unlocking!
Now i have update my hd7 width o2 branding its work
1. Start Zune
2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone
3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)
4. Start the update search in Zune
5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).
6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.
7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.
After ~15 times succeeded!

Debranding is definitely a step that has to be taken. It is different from Unlocking. Please search XDA for Debranding WP7.

There seems to be an inconsistency in whether WiFi should be turned on or off. It worked for me having WiFi on, which makes sense that the Device would have an internet connection with out being on the Carrier's Network. Also, turning off the PC's Internet Connection doesn't make sense either. Probably needs more investigation.

Hello! I've read that LG Panther have an update which supports copy/paste, but zune writes me that my phone is up to date (my current build is 7003). I've tried to change a region and tried to sign in using different accounts, but that was hopeless... Any opinion?

I've heard the same thing, and as far as I know, it's not going out via Zune (I've not got it, or seen it on either a Taylor or a Panther). I think we'll just have to wait...

The update isn't there yet, but I suspect it'll go there before anywhere else.
i've searched in google about this and understood that zune must flash this update, but it haven't caused. I think a special version of zune exists (not 4.7).

I very much doubt you'll find an update, and I'm even more sceptical that it'll be on Zune. 4.7 is the latest version I know of, there might be some linking to Live IDs, or maybe only some devices/LiveIDs get the update.
Hello All,
I just wanted to chime in and say that I also have a GW910 and it also claims to be 100% up-to-date on version 7.0.7003.0
I just wondered if you lot all think that we will even get the update in 2011 at all.
Also... do any of you know what will happen regarding firmware updates (radio etc)?
I ask because I have a problem here in Luxembourg where my phone loses connection to HTTPS sites after a while. It can still connect to the internet but to anything related to HTTPS (SSL etc).
I know that it isn't a fault with the phone itself (Hardware) because it only happens when I am travelling around and my phone has to change between 3G and Edge quite often. It I stay at home, there is no problem at all.
Comments anyone??

I think we probably will get an update, there's not much point having developer hardware if we're developing on software that's out of date.
Radio updates etc I'm less sure about, my Taylor says the radio is from August, though the OS is much more recent.
That sounds like an issue with the general OS, and it may be being patched anyway, I'd see if you can submit that as a bug (via Connect) or via the on device feedback mechanism (can't remember how to access it, but I remember it being there).

You need NoDo in order to get Mango, so no. I still have my Panther, I'm just waiting on the next batch of hardware this fall so I can change over.

Here is how I was able to get Mango installed on my pre-release developer phone (LG GW910).
NOTE: These directions are slightly modified to work as if you were starting from build 7004 (maybe 7003). After I the Chevron update I to install Mango beta 2 but received a 80180048 error. I used the backup that was created to get it back to the state just prior to the Mango update process.
The steps I took starting out with build 7004.
Run the ChevronWP7.Update twice to bring the phone up to build 7390 (NoDo)
Use the "Walshed" Phone support tool to put the device in a state where it can receive official updates - http://blog.walshie.me/walshed-phone-support-tool-official-fix-to-get-you-back-on-track
Be sure to follow the instructions and select ALL of the languages the keyboard supports.
Then following the Mango beta 2 installation instructions.
Mango beta 2 should install without any issues.
IMPORTANT: Uninstalling the Zune software will DELETE your backup. I created a RAR archive of the backup but kept it in the same folder and everything was wiped out.

Hello,
I have tried what you say, but sadly the ChevronWP7.unlocker doesn't seem to work.
I get the Black screen where is asks what language, and whatever I select the screen simply closes.
What OS did you use? Was it a 64bit OS or 32bit OS?
I want to try it again, but at the moment I am stuck.
Thanks

P.S. would you be willing to send me a copy of the ChevronWP7.unlocker that you used?
If so PM me, and I will send you my e-mail address.

If you have tried it, disconnect your phone, reboot it, then connect it and wait for Windows to tell you the device has been correctly installed (if that hasn't happened yet). Then try ChevronWP7.Update again.
I used the 64-bit version. I'll find and post the link I used to download the app.

There seems to be a misunderstanding in your communication. It seems as if you had a Panther that already HAD 7004 loaded on to it, which allowed you to updated all the way to post-Nodo.
There is currently no way possible for the Chevron Updater to bring a 7003 Panther up to 7004. Useless Guy even opened up the source code and tried to force the program into update his device and it did not work.

So you followed the steps in the OP and now you have nodo and it's unlocked? I assume you did chevron unlock and install the samsungtools to keep it from relocking.. did you do anything else?

NoDo is NoDo. The update is specifically tailored for Foruses (or is it Foci), so it shouldn't matter. Realistically, they all should run equivocally. The question that remains is, did it really work, or is this guy pulling our leg such that we try and recreate what he did over and over again with no success.

I can confirm it works, I was just prompted for the update, I'm just hesitant to pull the trigger on it because I don't want it to update to a (I'm assuming) european radio firmware that kills by battery/gives me ****ty reception.

Forget the op instructions. Just follow the chev unlock, Samsung tools, and Samsung registry to brand your phone from att-us to 000-88. Zune will prompt you to update to release 7008. After that it will frompt you for nodo. I did nothing in the op. After I updated I rebranded to att and all is well.
UPDATE:
I figured I would clear up somethings from my post last night. Originally I had rolled all the way back to pre-nodo to unlock and was really over doing everything.
After unlocking mango on my phone that way I decided to try my girls hd7 by just adding custclear.provxml to the windows directory on nodo while unlocked.
So here the updated step by step. So far its only working on HTC devices.
1. Make sure that you have nodo unlocked and download the latest HTC Connection setup from the MARKETPLACE.
2. Place the CustClear.provxml from this post in the windows directory on the phone. There is a number of ways to do this. I used Windows Phone Device Manager but you could also use the Chevron Ringtone App to get it to the phone and TouchXplorer to move to the windows directory. Or Remote Suite, etc. Included in the provxml is developer unlock, max apps, and prevent relock.
3. Update to mango.
4. As soon as mango starts run HTC Connection setup. And your unlocked.
Ive had mine unlocked since last night and hasnt relocked itself. Ive synced with zune several times, Sideloaded over 10 xaps and everything is going great.
So thats the short version of it. Had a good feeling it would work without going all the way back to pre-nodo. So if youve already upgraded to mango you can just restore your unlocked nodo and restart.
Im glad I got to help out the community. Im in no way a genius when it comes to this stuff though I wouldnt say Im in the dark. Just put the old regedit trick to work.
If I helped you please hit the Thanks button.

Currently sideloading them right now. All work so far except advanced config. But that has to do with mango itself.
Ive connected to zune multiple times to sync music...Only thing Im doing a little different is instead of zune I use wpconnect to sideload app.. its just quicker.
Still unlocked... Im over 10 xaps already so Im pretty sure the limit also stuck.
Other than known problems with any app that accesses parts of the file system on mango...I dont remember the specifics but touchxplorer probably wont work either though I havent sideloaded that one yet to confirm.
So far its holding.
EDIT: TouchXplorer does work. But TouchXperience does not. So no WPDM.

Actually yah. Didnt even think about that since I always just uninstall that after I use it. Uninstalled it on pre-nodo if it matters.
Only thing I had on the phone when I upgraded to mango was all the basic stuff that comes with the phone originally and HTC connection setup downloaded from the market while on nodo..thats it.

I did it a total of 3 times. Second time like an idiot I forgot to apply the prevent relock after I installed it.
Probably dont have to go all the way back to pre-nodo if you havent installed mango yet and have it unlocked already or if you wanna just do a restore through zune. Pretty sure youd just have to make sure the the custclear.provxml is in the windows folder before you update to mango. Im gonna give this a shot with my girls phone when I get some more time..
So far no problems at all. Only app I installed that didnt work was advanced config and TouchXperience.
Now I try, do not know can not succeed

Awesome was waiting for a confirmation. Did you have to go all the way back to pre-nodo or did you try with nodo unlocked?
Most of what I did probably was unnecessary but I wanted to be thorough so I didnt have to do it again. Most likely can have sideloaded apps on the phone when updated to mango just wont run until you run HTC connection setup with that custclear.provxml
reeg420 said:

I did the normal pre-nodo chevron unlock.
Install the prevent relock xap. After running uninstall it.
Updated to nodo via zune.
Then I installed HTC Connection Setup from the marketplace..(dont sideload it).
Ran it once.
Then I made a custclear.provxml with developer unlock, max unsigned app, and prevent relock. I set the attributes to read only on my PC. Then copied that to the windows folder via Windows Phone Device Manager.
Then I uninstalled TouchExplorer from the phone. Just to make sure there wasnt any sideloaded apps on there before I updated to mango.
Updated to mango by the bat files from windowsphonehacker blog.
Then I ran connection setup and voila unlocked.
I attached the file I made to help people out.

Discussion of "WARES" is NOT allowed on XDA. This means any app/game/etc that costs money to buy, but some have figured out how to get for free. You risk the ban hammer by talking about wares.

Yup im assuming as long as the custclear.provxml file is in the windows directory while on nodo.. And HTC connection setup has been downloaded from the market also on nodo then after you upgrade to mango that file will be right where HTC connection setup will read it.
Im testing this way right now on my girls hd7. I'll report back.

Hi,
is there any solution like this for my Samsung Omnia 7?
Sounds good so far
I use the backup to back my locked Mango to NoDo.and then,acrroding your method ,i have also unlocked my Htc Mozart from NoDo to Mango.
Thanks.
Can confirm that you can just put the provxml file in the windows folder on an unlocked nodo with sideloaded apps etc... Make sure connection setup is downloaded from the market and upgrade to mango. Then run connection setup first. Then all the sideloaded apps work fine. Didnt uninstall anything.
Vanilla Take-Off -> NoDo 7392 Unlocked -> MangoB2 7712 -> Awaiting Mango Final!
Hello XDA!
I am a new owner of a HD7 now. It's a T9292 Model. And here is the details sheet:
OS: v7.0.7392.0
FW: v2250.21.30102.707 (Was: v2250.09.16901.707)
Hardware Rev: 0002
Radio (Software): 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U (Was: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U)
Radio (Hardware): A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 3.1.2250.0 (119314) (Was: 1.69.2250.0(117833))
Chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
It's original and allows SIMs from Pakistan to work. Got it from a HTC store here. I have been struggling with the stickies for WP7 but it's NOT like what it was for HTC Kaiser and HTC TyTN II in the glory days.
I'm not really interested in new custom ROMs. I develop on .NET and that's why I got this mobile. Things is, I'll be trying to publish my apps through YallaApps.com as Pakistan is not supported over at AppHub. I need to update to the latest Mango and start developing until there is hope for us devs here.
Point me to where I should start and I'll proceed from there OK. Provided, if there is such a solution for my HD7.
I'm interested in upgrading to the latest Mango and be able to develop with Visual Studio and deploy on device to test.
Regards
Take a look at Updating to Mango threads, there is also hacked file that enables updating to mango on phones that have no Chevron unlock.
Your OS version is 7.0.7392 [nodo] so if u don't have dev unlock.
U must go back to older version by flashing rom.here
And get to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344 and pass all how to.
if u do all that u will done unlock,pervent relock,update to nodo,prepare to update mango,update mango and get unlock back.
a goal of all step is getting unlock without dev unlock in mango.
And u will can deploy ur app.
Ouch!
I was afraid of that...
So lets see...
Firmware dictates that I need to download ROM CV #707. I have chosen this: BR: RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.57.707.02_Radio_5.52.0 9.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar
Now, that's a branded ROM so I just need to run it. Right? Also, is it "old" enough for me to proceed?
After that, I believe I'm to follow this step:
NoDo Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7004 to OS February 2011 update and 7392 NoDo
which is very well written and explained.
And lastly, I shall proceed to MangoB2 Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7392 [NoDo] to OS 7403 and 7712
Right! I have downloaded all the packages and printed the threads.
I need to know if these point make any issue:
I already have a fully updated Zune installed
I downloaded Windows Phone Backup v1.6
Another question: There is only one PKS file available here. I'm using that. Also, where are the backups saved? I need to redundant them to a network share just in case for a rainy day.
Hmmm. BR: RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.57.707.02_Radio_5.52.0 9.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar is not working for me. It always ends at "ERROR 260 CONNECTION"
Backup Saved in
C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update
Thanks a million buddy. I was wandering around that folder but you nailed it for me.
Oh boy... I think I'm getting the error because my HD7 is not really Branded by anyone. It's just HTC HD7... no T-Mobile etc. I was trying the wrong ROM. Now I needed unbranded and that thread is under maintenance by Ansar. I wonder which ROM i should download from there? ... Progress Halted for now
Umm.
I think ur hd7 is branded by HTC Asia like me.
If u flash wrong brand rom. It will tell u on phone.
ERROR 260 CONNECTION not look like be rom problem.
Make sure u boot in to 3 color mode and ur computer install driver for that mode correctly before start flashing.
Unbranded rom is for flash crossing zone of device.

Okay. Doing the last NoDo now. have taken a couple of backups. I'm wondering where are the archived backups that Windows Phone 7 Backup utility mentions before taking a newer backup?
Alert! Alert!
Okay. all went well. I saw the latest numbers in About. MangoB2 done. BUT, i took a backup and after the backup was complete, the WP7 Backup utility told me to disconnect o that the pone reboots... that never happened... phone is stuck now... if it use the power button, it reboots and comes back to the connect to PC screen. upon connecting, nothing happens. if i run Zune, it alerts me to restore to a earlier point.
What am I to do?
Okay... so after a while of fear.... I decided to let Zune restore. I took proper backups after every stage. So I restored to the point where I just installed MangoB2 7712. It worked. Restore was successful and HD7 is OK.
Question: Now it'd unlocked and freely accessing internet, how do I prevent a re-lock?
In other news: Zune just said it has an update for itself and crashed while trying to install complaining about a component failure...
Observations: If I take backup using WP7 Backup, my device hangs after I disconnect cable and I have to restore again as it is stuck in a loop
Prevent re-lock is done edit registry by using CustClear.provxml .(if not prevent it will relock everytime u connect to Zune.)
About Zune after u using mango beta u should install zune beta too.
About backup I don't know the solution.i had to restore too

Can you point me to the thread? I found a thread last night that mentioned the use of a registry editor for WP7. But I do know that No RegEdit is working with Mango B2 ATM. So CustClear.provxml is the way to go.

My Zune keeps saying an update is found and installs it immediately just to repeat the same cycle. Where is the direct link to the full Beta offline setup?

It's a minor update....not rolled out yet though....don't mistake it for 7.8!
Great News, But how and when we get this update in our phone, and what are the major changes in it?
I am eagerly waiting to experience new windows 7.8 update in my phone....

There are a bunch of them in India with the biggest one being Airtel. However, the phones sold over the retail counter account to almost 99% and hence there are no network locked phones here.....in other words ...all GSM/CDMA devices are the Intl versions!
Coming to 7.10.8773.98 ....it needs to be updated thru Zune and as of now it not yet rolled out though it appears here

Well, the update is there. Just check after sometime may be.
It brings some enhancements like you can attach images/videos to messages etc. and some other (undocumented) enhancements and tweaks.
i did't get any update in my OMNIA W till now.... Did anybody got the same?
Please tell me what is new in this update?
thanks in advance.
so..... the mobileoperator value in the registry should be something like 000-IN? Can you you give me your value in the registry? I will try to push the update with this registry hack
So I used the disconnect internet trick and got Tango to install on my phone. Problem is, it stopped with the 3 updates and did not install (or find) the Samsung one that I know was supposed to be installed (for firmware), so my firmware is now 2103.11.10.1 instead of what it is supposed to be.
Does anyone know a way to force the OEM firmware to be sent to Zune. The internet disconnect trick isn't work now, so I'm stuck. Also, my backups aren't showing up, even though during the update process it said it was creating a backup (for all the OS updates it installed all the way up to 8773).
If there is no way to get the OEM firmware to be pushed, does anyone know how to get the Focus Flash to stock? I know I have a backup on my computer, but Zune isn't recognizing it (I had forced 8107 on my phone, and Zune made a backup of that ROM).
When we get this update? there is nothing showing in zune or in phone yet.....
Is this update is available in India and for OMNIA W or not?

still no luck with me
go mine
I used the disconnect internet trick and got Tango with firmware :victory:

Really?? Come on man, if you do not know then don't guide others with a shot in the dark!
Edit: It worked finally after multiple attempts....I guess it was all in the timing of pulling the LAN Cable.... so I was finally able to update to Tango in the below order..... 8107 >> 8112 >> 8773

don't u get idea from video ?
Turn Airplane mode on
Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
Click on Settings/Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
Click the check for update button again, and this time immediately disconnect your computer from the internet. Do this by pulling the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc.
Wait 30 seconds or so and you should receive a notification that an update is available.
Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.
