[Q]Chevron Unlock Pre-Nodo

I have a HTC HD7, and i stupidly relocked my device by mistake. Now, i can't unlock it. I'm running the Pre-NoDo Update.
I have edited my hosts, registery, reinstalled the certificate and have the phone development tools. Zune is open, none guest relationship, and my device is connected and not locked. Anybody else having this problem?

[Q] Should we update to NODO or not?

I just have a few question: After reading a lot of thread some are concern that updating to nodo will somehow "disable chervon" so is it true? the new update would kill our unlocked phones?
I have a HTC HD7 and i'm too scared to try because i dont' want my phone locked again

It's pretty simple. The update will kill the chevron hack. And sometime in the near future NoDo will be unlocked by someone. So you decide if you want to:
1) keep your unlocked phone and go without NoDo for a few weeks to a few months while waiting for NoDo to be unlocked and then update.
2) update to NoDo when available and go a few weeks to a few months while waiting for NoDo to be unlocked.
Nothing to be "scared" about. It's not like your phone being locked makes it unusable. You just have to decide how important NoDo is to you.

I unlock just to make the registry tweak that unbrand my phone. If I get the update, I won't need to do this

Is there a way to roll Zune back if that's what's blocking Chevron from relocking?

So, I've been trying to unlock my phone again since getting the update to 7008 and not having the prevent relock xap installed at the time. However, here is my dilemma and was wondering if anyone could help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12542855&postcount=960

[Q] Should I give up the Chevron unlock?

Before the NoDo update I unlocked my phone (Omnia 7) with the Chevron unlock. I encountered some terrible bug(s) so I applied the NoDo update to see if that'd help. It didn't. The phone still stayed unlocked even with the update, so I was wondering if it's worth it to reset my phone and (maybe) lose the unlock for good (since it won't work with phones with NoDo installed and I think that's what I'll get if I reset the phone). So, anyone think it's worth it?

I think you don't need to "Re-Lock" your phone before getting NoDo update.

You don't need to. What I'm wondering is if the phone will re-lock itself if I reset it. I'm thinking it'll use the NoDo version to reset itself, which doesn't work with the Chevron unlock, and I won't be able to unlock the phone again. I wonder if it's worth it to reset the phone and probably lose the unlock I applied to the phone. I'm experiencing bugs where i can't use the marketplace on the phone to buy or update anything, and apps that didn't come with the phone crash after ~15 minutes.

Sounds like reset time... I would say better to have the device working properly without unlock than not at all with it...

My HD7 is half-bricked.

Boot loader is bricked, but the OS works fine.
If HTC releases a firmware update over Zune, will it flash my bootloader?
Will the broken bootloader prevent my phone from functioning in any capacity? People say "you can't update," but I've reverted to NoDo twice since the half brick, and on both occassions I've been asked to update to Mango.

bricked phone
Can the phone be able to get a future update?? or it is blocked to do it also?
