So I've been browsing around for days trying to find where to bring in my unlocking endeavors, any help? Links, or anything of the sort. I have an hd7s with mango 7720 if that helps at all. Thanks.
I think you'd have to flash your phone with either a custom rom or a pre nodo rom then use chevron unlock and use ansars or petbede guide to upgrade to mango while retaining the unlocks. I personally have a legit $99 unlock on my pro 7 with nodo and followed petbede guide using ansars u2m7720 1.2 tool to upgrade to mango you also need to have HTC connection setup installed as its been removed from the market place.

im in a similar situation except im on nodo trying to go to mango
I can sideload HTC connection setup but it keeps saying that the database does not exist on the device
any suggestions?
@jaygriggs: A sideloaded version wouldn't work anyhow. It need the marketplace signature or you can't run it without already having interop-unlock, which makes it rather useless for the purpose of interop-unlocking your phone.
Ansar claims to have a way to interop-unlock HTC on Mango, but last I saw the mods had locked his thread for breaking the XDA-Devs forum rules (requesting donations before he'd send you the app).

i was beginning to think a signature was the issue.
Most apps dont work on a cdma device
I'd have no problem donating if i knew it was going to work
Where would I begin to flash a custom rom? Or roll back to chevron unlock?
I'm having the same questions/issues also. I have an HTC Trophy, was on NoDo, and I have a developer-unlock (student unlock, so I can sideload 3 apps)
I followed these instructions:
Download/Install: TouchXplorer and HTC Connection applications
Download/Install: The App Deploy file (that deploys CustClear.provxml to the My Docs\My Ringtones folder)
I then did this:
1) use TouchXplorer to copy the CustClear.provxml file to the \Windows\ folder
2) Run HTC Connection and click the Checkbox
3) Repeat Step 1 again (to put that file back in the \Windows\ folder)
4) Update to the next version using Zune (one below Mango)
5) Repeat Steps 1 thru 4, which now updates to Mango
After Mango was installed, I am still at the student/developer unlock (up to 3 sideloaded apps). What did I do wrong, and what do I need to do to get Mango with unlimited sideloads?
Thanks in advance.
@Avazee: You have to use an upgrade path which gives you 7720 (Mango) and the HTC Update for Mango in different steps. This used to be done by using the beta upgrade path.
The problem is that 7720 re-locks the device against ID_CAP_INTEROPSERIVES, so you have to use Connection Setup to interop-unlock it. The HTC update doesn't re-lock the device, but it prevents you from using Connection Setup to make changes (it also breaks some other homebrew, like TouchXplorer). If you get them at the same time, which is how MS is currently pushing the Mango update, your phone gets re-locked and you lose the ability to unlock at the same time - very unfortunate.
You could use This, no idea if it works tough. I have been upgrading to Mango with the U2B2 tool

Thanks for the reply. What do you mean by HTC Update? I didn't get any HTC update...
How do I use an upgrade path that gives me Mango and this 'HTC Update' in different steps?
Thanks for your help.

I really hope someone can prove me wrong (I have been reading and looking for weeks on this forum and yet to see otherwise). For HTC going to Mango and retaining interop-unlock, all I have seen mentioned that works is starting with a Shubert ROM (spelling?) and using U2B2 method or a cooked ROM.
BUT, this does not work as these ROMs will not work on the CDMA version WP7 phones (which VZW HTC Trophy is one, sprint is another). I have not seen anyone take the stock NoDo CDMA ROM that came on our phones and get to Mango interop-unlocked. There is no pre-nodo CDMA ROM in existence.
Anyone, please prove me wrong as I would really like to be wrong.
I don't currently know of a way to avoid getting the HTC update bundled with the Mango update. The approach used previously was to install the Mango beta, interop-unlock it, then upgrade to 7720 (Mango release), and since that didn't include the HTC update you could interop-unlock it too. You could then install the HTC update if you wished.
For users following the retail update path, the HTC update is simply part of the Mango (7403->7720) update.

how do i know if my phone is jailbrake or not????
Your Phone is unlocked if you can sideload Applications Rom our PC. You are unlocked if you have flashed a preunlocked ROM or if you are a Developer and unlocked it with the Unlock tool OR if you have used the ChevronWP Unlock Tool

Can we still jailbreak/unlock WP7 with the new update?
yes, you can. depending on the phone you have it may be simple or more complicated. LG is simple. see here
I have a htc hd7
There's still no way to unlock your HD7 once you upgrade to NoDo. Or at least I haven't seen one.
One way to do it, is roll back to 7008 (pre NoDo) from an existing backup (Zune performs a full backup before upgrading to NoDo), unlock it using ChevronWP7 and then applying the fix to prevent relocking. Check this thread for more info.
If for some reason the backup that Zune made just "disappears" (this happened to me), you'll have to flash your phone using a 7004/7008 ROM. You can find ROMs for your HD7 and instructions on how to flash it in this forum.
Hope this helps

If you Walshed your phone and received notification for the 7392 (ssl certificate) update, please chime in here with your phone make/model/MO. Immensely appreciated! (Please refrain from "not me" posts.)
Hello All,
I have an HTC 7 Pro that I "walshed".
I have today received the message to get the latest update to 7392.
I am in the process of doing the update. Should it fail, I will let you know.
I also have a Omnia7 that was updated to 7390 using this method. I will check to see if it has the update an let you know.
I have got one HTC 7 Pro "walshed",the second one HTC 7 PRO no"walshed"
Upgrade for 7392 was going well.
Sadly, update failed!!
Am about to try going back to original ROM and trying again.
What was the error?
It simply gives me an error code: 80180048
Any ideas what I can do to sort this problem?
Thanks
o2 UK HD7, Walshed update, then the HTC update. 7392 fails after completing a backup.
And another o2 UK HD7, Walshed updated.
7392 fails after completing a backup.
Walsh'd to NODO and my phone updated fine.
HTC Surround US AT&T.
I didn't walsh but instead used this pre-existing hack. Confirmed that the ability to sideload is still functioning by installing the default email hack xap. I hope posting this accomplishment doesn't mess with the overall aim of this thread.

You did. The focus of this thread is to gauge MS's claim that Walshed phones won't get any future updates pass NoDo. It has nothing to do with jailbreaking, side loading etc.
sorry i want to ask those with an HTC 7 PRO, What do you mean you walshed your phone? didnt it already come with nodo?

Updating via Zune tricks isn't Walshed. Looking just for folks that specifically used Chris Walsh's update tool. Thanks though
I agree with you. Hence I updated my post to highlight what I was talking about.
Walshed, followed by HTC update.
Got the 7392 notification yesterday, but update fails after backup (error 80180048). I have tried multiple times to no avail.
After hard reset, still fails.
Same error
Walshed, T-Mobile Germany. Got the same error, tried several times. What can I do, to get the update?
I get update 7.0.7392.0. on my Optimus 7 works without problems, phone was not walshed.
For those getting error 80180048:
can you confirm whether your phone was flashed one of Ansar's roms?
I have a HTC trophy that I can't update coz of the rom I flashed it with. from what i understand it's a problem with the bootloader.
see my thread about error 80180048 here
Just walshed
Hi, I just used the chevronWP7 to Update to NoDo. No other flashs or changes.
The Upgrade worked from 7004 with 2 reboots and no errors.
Now im getting 80180048 after Backup.
Does this Info help?
I updated Mozart 7, walshed, dev unlocked, Telstra branded, ansar signed, 7004, Walsh 7008, walsh Nodo, Microsoft 7392, normal update, through Zune. Even backed up the phone fine
I was playing with my unlocked phone with Build 7712 an hour ago and everything worked fine. Now, my unlocked phone can't run any of the side loaded applications, with the message "**** has been revoked by Microsoft. Please uninstall it".
Anyone encounter this?? Or anyone can highlight what did I do that cause the phone being locked again?? Should I just roll back to the previous build?
Did you include the prevent relock hack in the proxml you used to unlock 7712. If not when you connect it to Zune it will relock.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
This has been answer many times. Mango auto-relocks your device (Chevron or Official Dev Unlock). Mango also blocks INTEROPSERVICES, which most homebrew apps use. There are also work arounds using provxml to re-unlock your device depending on what OEM device you have (Samsung/HTC works). Please use the search feature in the future or search on Google & you'll find the answers...

I applied the prevent relock hack in NoDo and build 7660. But did not re-deploy the proxml after upgrading to build 7712. I guess this is the problem and the only way now is to roll back/flash back and start the whole process of chevron unlock again.
Thank you.
For me - on a HTC Mozart - it worked after going back to 7004 and applying all the updates until 7392 (Chevron unlocked/custclear.provxml in Windows-folder) You have to de-install HTC connection setup in 7392 before going on 7712!!!! (7401 and 7403 and after that to 7721) - check, if the provxml is in your Windows-folder and then update to Mango. After that re-install connection-setup (marketplace-search on phone), start connection-setup and... voila - for me it worked this way.
Roll back and re-upgrade to Mango with your device in flight mode and the jailbreak will be kept. (I am using a jailbroken Mango.)
Hey Guys...
after waiting so many days for Mango and inbetween flashing to RTM and all the betas we finally got what we want MANGO FINAL but...
...it seems like the update to final Mango with chevron enabled does not work like in the betas or RTM i always get a relock after updating although i did it like i have done it before with RTM...
any solution for that?
thx in advance
Saste
I got the same problem. Had to restore back to NoDo :/
Same thing on my LG quantum. All my locally managed apps have stopped working.
I am having the problem too. Hopefully there will be a solution out there.
Same problem with my Samsung Omnia 7...
Yup. Lost all my sideloaded apps, and cannot sideload any new ones.. this is a balls.
Where's this official Chevron unlock we've been hearing about since the start of the year?
just revert back to NoDo and successfully unlock Mango using ansar method.
U2M7220 is the xap file made by ansar. refer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1269895
just scroll down and search for the download link and follow below steps.
Hi,
With U2M7720 just do these:
- tap on U2B2 and finally tap on done
- tap on the language you want to add and finally tap on done
- tap on Chevron Unlock (will exit U2M7720)
- DO NOT run Connection Setup now
- Update
- Run Connection Setup
- Enter to U2M7720 and tap on Chevron Unlock in order to use it in future relock

Guys I am on Mango Final Release by following this guide
At the point of moving from when trying to get to 7712 it gives you final release instead.

Dear forum members,
This is to inform you that MS has totally changed the update process from PreNoDo / NoDo to Mango 7720
The process is a chain of updates and after Mango 7720 an hTC update is received
Finally OEM, SYS, Radio and bootloader are all updated and the HSPL is lost
For hTC_Europe the update is:
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2250.21.40502.401 >> ROM version 4.05.401.02
Radio: 5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21U
Bootloader: 4.5.2250.0(129185)
I am preparing a new U2M7720 xap in order to preserve unlock
Regards, ansar
will this new one work for all us who have accepted the htc drivers update and cant roll back??

I was about to restore my NoDo backup in order to get interop-unlocked when I saw this thread. Thanks for the heads-up. You just saved me the ton of aspirin I'd have needed!
And thanks for all your work.
For the HTC devices, can you package in the required version of Connection Setup to make this work all the way through the final upgrade AND keep 3G alive?
Also, I assume you will need to start from an unlocked pre-NoDo or unlocked NoDo?
Last question - when you get to the final Mango, will you have set the phone to be interop-unlocked and prevent-relock with registry mods?
Sorry for all the questions
great.. i cant wait for this update to hit my device.. hopefully it will repair the bootloader problem.
this sorta scarees me
well this seams sorta scary for hd2 users will thay still beable to use MAGLDR 113 to dule boot wp7 & android on hd2?
i understand the process is quite diffrent from the rest of the wp7 phones and thare bootloaders?
i am going thru this process now. reverting back to NoDO(7392) this morning but tried to force update not working. backup was corrupted as well.
so no choice i have to go abck to factory default ROM. then only it start all the update from 7004 to 7008 to 7392 to 7403 to 7720 to HTC driver update all the way without stopiping.
u have to do ya dev-unlock really fast in order for them to carry on the next update.

Is this the firmware update we've been waiting for? Does this mean internet sharing on older htc devices such as hd7 work now? or is this some other kind of update?
The previous official Mango(7720) update only provide Microsoft update. after that Mango(7720) update. by right you should receive another update from HTC. its called HTC driver Update previously.
from today update onward for HTC device. the HTC driver update which come after Mango(7720) update previously will be bundle together with Mango(7720) update.
i did that just now and found my bootloader and firmware was still the original before Mango(7720) update. it has come to the latest one after i check Mango(7720) updated. and there is no need for HTC driver update anymore.

Hi,
This must be the final cause includes hTC OEM too, see 1st post for revion numbers
Regards, ansar
i'm not sure if i get it right...
1st we go to 7403....then to final mango(7720)...and then to htc update(again 7720)...3 steps of update....RIGHT???
so if we want to just go to final mango...can we use that old trick or not???
or ms has just put final mango and htc update into one update???i mean ms makes it 2 steps instead of 3...right???
This is nothing new... It has been the case since day 1 of the mango official release through zune....
I did the update (with the internet disconnect trick) on my Trophy and it was a 2 step update:
1st i got the 7403 rom
2nd i got the 7720/HTC drivers COMBINED update (which got installed in 1 go!)
After this, my phone was at 7.10.7720.68 with firmware revision 2250.21.40600.168 , radio 5.69.09.05a_22.50.20.21U and bootloader 4.6.2250.0(129185) and LOCKED!!! (and couldn't unlock as HTC Connection manager did nothing at all!!!)
I had to go back to my nodo restore point (but with spl 4.6.2250.0 which didn't change) and perform the "beta" way(U2B2) to 7403 ISV and then to 7720 ISV which got unlocked by Connection setup, and then return the phone to "normal" mode (DoNotU2b2) and get the HTC driver update (the phone remained unlocked!)
I have preserved all the MANGO/HTC combined update files just before they were deleted by the updater program during the transfering to the phone, and you can clearly see that there is a large cab file ~147Mb which is mango and a second file ~62Mb which contains all the HTC drivers/bootloader/applications ...
Here is the HTC file:

Hi there,
I just cancel the update and apply the dev-unlock and then search for update again, that's how I did with the whole process and it works and I am still dev-unlock.
Hope I Have Been Of Help. PEACE!!!
This might be the exact reason, why am I saying, that provisioning between updates (U2M7200) is working just on some phones. As deliol said earlier, this applies from day one, where my stock NoDo Mozart was updated in one turn with the 7720 install. Provisioning stopped working after that, even if I deployed ProvXML after the 7403 update and on Mango again. I even have higher versions than ansar and deliol.
NoDo > Summer HTC Update for Mozart > 7403 > Mango

went back to no do unlocked used ansar u2b2 and it went straight to 7720.68? and is fully locked now, please help.
You're not the only one. Just wait until someone finds a way to hijack Mango. As new devices which can not be downgraded are on the market, the interest for this will grow.
Hm, bad news as it seems :/
I tried it yesterday with ansars U2B2 tool and I am running 7.10.7720.68. Only difference to Ansars version number is the firmware revision number: 2250.09.16901.401 with hardware revision number 0002.
I installed the HTC Update when the official Mango update was announced worldwide while I was still running Mango B2 Refresh on the phone.
Right now, applications with the interop capability still run, but they are limited. The Advanced Touch explorer only shows his own application folder and registry is not available. I guess its because of the changed way the HTC DLLs can be used. Lets hope for Ansar or Heathcliff to figure this out
Does it matter what hardware version does one have as long as their mango is unlocked and can do sideloading.just my 2 cents.
