Hi all,
I've been a member on XDA developers for a long time, had an XDA exec a long time ago, haven't had anything since though.
I've just got myself a HTC Mozart so I'm new to the windows phone scene. Just wondering what is the best way to upgrade to unlocked mango. I'm on OS 7004.
I've seen the [DFT Freedom ROM] Mango 7720 Custom ROM, don't know how to flash it though. Also came across this cellbull.com/download-windows-phone-7-5-mango-rom-for-htc-hd7/
Any help on how I would get unlocked mango on my device would be much appreciated.
Thanks for Looking.
You can upgrade directly to Mango using method described here. Keep in mind that it will destroy all data stored on your device. You can easily install apps later on by using your marketplace account. Just make sure to back up your PIM data before you proceed.
Thanks but I managed in the end.

I have one and wonder how I can improve it as it seems to have quite a few bugs.
The o2 website offers an upgrade for the ROM but I am wondering whether there is an even better one?
I also need to unlock the phone
Dilemma is in what order should I proceed.
Should I do a complete backup first?
The XDA Exec is unlocked by default (at least mine was) check it out..
HTH
Chris.
Tried it with mine. Did NOT work. My o2 EXEC will not accept other SIMs.
Question still is..before I start messing with new operating system and unlocking...Can I get a complete IMAGE backup of the device as it is currently so that i have a restore point.
hey there
i beleive what you are looking for is a feature from activ sync verify how he process back up !
and or copy it out yourself !
have a good day

Hi,
I recently got an Htc Desire on a 3 year contract. Now, I have to unlock my device for which I have already bought the codes but before doing so, I wanted some knowledgeable people like you to tell me if I unlock my android 2.1 Htc Desire, would I lose my applications and other data. The problem is I bought an application which was quite costly for me and I do not want to lose it because I have to unlock my device. I know on Android 2.2 Froyo, I probably could have backed up my applications but is there something I can do now?
Will I be able to get updates to froyo or other updates later on from htc.
The reason I have to unlock is I will be gifting this device to my wife as her phone stopped working and I already have other phones I can manage with.
Thanking you in advance and waiting eagerly

if your just sim unlocking your fone then it wont touch the software in any way, you phone will be exactly how it was just sim free
Thank you "AndroHero". I appreciate your reply. I shall take your advise and unlock my phone now.
Also, as I asked in my original post, would I be getting updates directly from my service provide or htc's website later on whenever they are available.
Thank you!
Hi guys, sorry firstly if this has been posted before, and also because it's probably quite a noobish question, but I'm going to ask anyway.
If I've unlocked my Windows Phone 7 device (Samsung Omnia 7) for development using ChevronWP7, will this mean I cannot update to 'NoDo'? I haven't yet received the notification and I know it's early days yet, but I don't want to be waiting for something that's not coming my way.
The only reason I ask, is that since I unlocked the phone I've removed Windows 7 from my MacBook (Microsoft stole my legit full license) and I can't really be bothered reinstalling it just to re-lock my device.
Any answers would be appreciated.
you can get the update when it's released for your brand and carrier but you still need zune

I have 'Windows Phone Connector For Mac' Installed on OS X, I believe that should suffice for grabbing the update. Thanks for the reply.

Step by step instructions for solving your problem:
1. Stop wasting time on this board
2. Apply for a part time job
3. Get job
4. Use cash from job to pay developers for their work
very useful posts - not.
i pay apps, but if apps have NO try version so i should pay 6 € for a app, that i dont know? not rly guys... or without unlock i cant use accent changer or something else. so please dont msg me with "get job" or something like that... very childish. u dont know me so u cant judge about me!

We don't know you, but we can judge you based off of your posts. If you are not willing to take a chance on a 6buck game, then don't.
But when you come on here advocating piracy, you will get flamed and possible banned. I wonder if you ever went back and bought any of those games after "trialing" them.... I bet not.

I have a Italian htc mozart with nodo.
I would like to downgrade to unlock it
there is a method?
Hi,
I have a HTC Mozart from the German T-Mobile.
Because it took me to much time to wait for NoDo I flashed with a HTC debranded Rom and made the update to NoDo.
Now I would like to go back to the Build 7004 of the debranded Rom to make the unlock / jailbreak and later update to NoDo.
So I thougt I just flash the debranded Rom over my current NoDo Phone.
But everytime I flash it, there is still NoDo!!!
The Rom didn't had NoDo when I flashed it in the first place. It seems like flashing doesn't work or the Phone updates it self during the first start up.
I tried it more than one time.
Flashing back to the original T-Mobile Rom brings me back to Build 7004. But when I flash now the debrandet Rom it will be NoDo!
Anybody have an idea?
I have known enough of the HTC hardware architecture over the years to realize that re-imaging should be a no-brainer but also that the devil is in the partitions. However, for some unexplained reason, Mr. Watson's note/warning makes me wonder if reflashing will actually leave it just as new...
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...all-updated-windows-phones-are-not-alike.aspx
Are you flashing using all the nbh files (meaning, *all* partitions)? What tool are you using to flash? Maybe that scenario is what he describes in his post, where there are leftovers? {however should not apply if flashing} But, you say that using the original ROM does bring everything back to 7004. Odd indeed.
As a final note and taking a different approach, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671743. He mentions that when dumping there is a bunch of unkown partitions. What if the update stored some update-related stuff, applicable only to the unbranded version (in other words, those alledged update bits being version specific)? Such a conspiracy theory would suit your scenario.
Hi fosormic,
thanks for your answer.
Maybe I can solve the problem flashing another Rom from this site. It really seems like there is a rest of the NoDo-Update on the Phone for the HTC Rom.
But even when I flash down to 7004 with the T-Mobile Rom the NoDo pieces will stay.
A friend using Android asked me if it's not possible to set an option to erase the whole phone before flashing. That could be an option but I'm not sure if it's available on Windows Phone.
OK, I will work with the T-Mobile Rom. Do you think it will work installing NoDo and later flash back to the 7004 Version?
Regards
Dennis

Hi there, to be honest I have no clue. I suspect your friend is a Samsung user (I have 3 devices) and yes you can repartition a Samsung and very easily mess it up beyond almost almost any help. I have never seen a repartitionable HTC device but my knowledge at such low level is quite superficial. From the bootloader viewpoint they do seem almost identical (newer versions aside) to me.
Sorry not to be more helpful. It is more of an academic thing to me but I know it is a real deal to you
Best of luck mate,
Hi PPL,

but now jailbroken apps are not working and are uninstalling. They use to work perfectly fine with my chevron unlock. What can be done now?
thanks

"Most" homebrew apps do not work in Mango. Mango also relocks your device undoing Chevron. There is a walkthrough here on XDA that walks you through the upgrade process & allows your to relock via registry tweaks with provxml with HTC Connection Setup on HTC device & GPRS on Samsung devices. The homebrew that does still work needs to be side loaded before upgrading to mango. Some claim that their Samsung device can sideload homebrew with native code after mango, but I can't confirm this as i have a HTC device.
If ur using LG, go mfg menu and unlock ur phone again. Works for me.
