I, like many have been eagerly waiting for the 'Nodo' update to appear in my Zune installation on my home PC. But unfortunately I've had no luck so far with Zune and my phone both reporting my phone is up to date, with 7.0.7008.0 as the latest.
However when I plugged in my phone into my work PC (with a different internet connection, OS, but same version of Zune) it detected there was an phone update. Unfortunately I can't install it because work block access to Windows Update service. Under the settings menu, my phone did then report there was an update.
However, when plugging it back into my home PC, my phone and Zune reverts back to saying there is no update and 7.0.7008.0 is the latest!
Weird.
Can you do a copy/paste ?
He just got done with his story about how he can't get the update and you ask him if he can copy/paste?!?!?!
ahahahaha....hahahaha
Confirmed.
After i have read your Thread i have try it with diffrent options.
I have try it many times, my personal computer have on three diffrent location no update receive.
My company Laptop have on two diffrent location no update receive, but after i logged into the Company Network via VPN i get the message update available.
I have try it many times disconnect "no update" VPN every time "Update available".
Very Strange, but now i happy (and i have now copy&Paste)
what what what????
i doooont understand!!!! XDDD
explain more clearly so i can replicate the procedure identically!!!
i got the update a couple of days ago,unbranded omnia,but i already had copy and paste since i got the device a couple of weeks ago.
So it will work with some random vpn?
kindly explain further the situation.. thanks!
Talking about weirdness... I got prompted for NoDo today, was busy so decided to postpone.
Came back an hour later on the same PC and nothing. Zune says I'm up to date with version 7.0 (7008).
Can you guys all mention a device name along with a carrier
country etc.?
I tend to get some false hope everytime I read a story of people getting NODO successfully.

Well these are not exactly succesful stories are they?
Just for the record I have an unbranded Omnia 7 still not updated.
there is a thread that specifies carriers and location already here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12401645#post12401645
Ok... Can you guys tell me how did you do the VPN so I can try and get the update... I dont have patience for this stupid update. I want it now!!! But seriously how did you guys do the VPN? =)
Well, theoretically you could use something like usaip.eu , which simply let's you vpn to places all over the world (with a free account only for 7 minutes before having to redial, but that should be enough).
I tried it and I still don't have nodo, only pre-NoDo (which I got the day it was released).
I have an LG Optimus 7, which originally was branded by vodafone, but I removed the branding via the registry (I tried the update with and without the carrier info). I live in Germany.
Good luck!

Lol, how is this even possible? Is MS having a time limit or something, like "here you go, the Nodo, take it while you have the chance, it will end in 5 minutes and then you'll have to wait another week until next chance shows up!"

Yeah that's just ridiculous, I don't get it.
However I tried the freeVPN solution, with no luck. Maybe I should try om my GFs Macbook? You never know...
none of these VPN things work. I tried here in our office in IBM Philippines.. LOL nothing works...
I checked for updates several times and tried all tricks available without success, zune said I was up to date with 7008 firmware. I then did a factory reset, connected with zune and straight away I got the update. Omnia 7 unlocked (original 3 branded but flashed with XENJK1 firmware) on Telia in Sweden.
Virgin LG phone with NoDo can be developer unlocked with airwa1kin7's procedure.
Note that I have not touched my phone with any hacks before the NoDo update. I applied airwa1kin7's procedure after NoDo and was able to developer unlock it.
Registry settings stick after syncing and all apps and side loading work. I have not touched Chevron or any other hacking before the NoDo. This is at least a solution for LG phones.
thanks to airwa1kin7s !
I haven't had any luck with the registry hacks unlocking my refurbed att Quantum, or don't think Ive unlocked it. Application deployment does tell me my app limit has been reached, even though i dont have any developer apps installed and i HAVE changed the app limit with MFG also. any ideas? I also never tried anything until post NoDo and once i found out my hacks didn't work, I also tried Chevron but it along with the i believe tom's xap installer tell me my phone isnt connected. The phone is seen in Zune though...
Hello,
a friend has a dev account and therefor he can unlock several wp7 phones when using his live id and adding my phone to dev phones. NoDo works too of course.
My thoughts are: if i update my phone he could add it as dev phone and the DeveloperUnlocked key would change from 0 (after NoDo update) to 1.
Next step would be that I change the reg keys (because of dev status i could use the reg editor) that have been the cause my HTC Mozart 7 got relocked when i connected to zune:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""
And now i would change back to my live id and he would remove my phone from his dev phone list - would the DeveloperUnlocked key change to 0 again or won't it be possible because of the DeviceReg "hack" above?
I don't know what is causing the change from 1 to 0, is it just zune connect or does this change apply via Wifi/3G also? Are the two keys above still actual for NoDo?
It would help everyone who knows a person with dev account to get the NoDo unlocked
Right the person that i searching for.
How does the unlock of a second or third device work? Can the person with the other device we wont to unlock use my Live-ID without the use of my Id on his phone? I found nothing about this in the App-Hup.
not possible.
only the FIRST live ID can unlock a phone and you will be stuck with that account.
that mean that you can't use your own email account for online services and your friends email account is always in your phone.
to change that you would need to hardreset the phone and then the unlock is gone to.
Thanks for that information.
Ah right, i forgot that that the change of the FIRST live id needs a hardreset. Thanks for pointing that out.
I wondered WHY you have to hardreset your phone to change the main live id. Now i know why =)
To sum it up: dev account needs to put the matching live id as the FIRST on the phone, so you would need a hardreset to do that. And another hardreset to get back to "your" live id - resetting the dev unlock status.
Ok let's wait for some success here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078007 - cross your thumbs
Well the way it works is simple...
say i have a dev account, and have 2 devices left I can unlock.
You just give me your device, I connect it trough USB (it does not matter if your live ID is the only live ID on the device!)
with your email, live-ID, contacts and everything.
Once I connect it to the pc, I run the tool and type in MY live ID, now I click unlock and your phone is unlocked trough my live ID.
Now you can run the tools to edit the registry, than connect the device and relock. Edit the registry again (the registry editor should probably be running, otherwise you will get an error message). And your device is unlocked, with your live ID and everything.
my registered devices

Thx Marvin_S for your reply. So you say i don't need to change the live id to unlock the device?
And what about that registry thing, the registry editor should be running and then i can set the dev unlock key to 1 and it WILL STAY instead of relocking? Because i think that you need to leave the device as unlocked in your app hub as you show us on your quote. If you hit "remove" then the phone will be locked the next time you connect it to zune.
Maybe you can give us more details on this. Thanks.

Yes legally yes, however here comes your regedit into play.
The steps to unlock your device are easy:
- Set up your device with your own live ID (I assume you have this already, this does NOT have to be the same live ID as the devs live ID!)
- Connect your device with your Live ID to your friends computer. Follow the steps then run the Developer Registration Tool from Microsoft, fill in the live ID of your FRIEND who is DEVELOPER registered on his live ID.
- Your device is unlocked... to keep it unlocked run Samsung-Tools or a similar xap on your device which will do those regedits you have quoted above. If you have done these edits your friend can safely remove your device from his developers panel.
Done deal enjoy
Is it realy that easy to unlock any device?
That means someone with a WP7 and his own Live-ID wants to unlock it with my Dev-Account and my Live-ID, we connect it through usb, start developer registration tool and his phone is unlocked...
Edit! You have answered my question before i could ask.
Thank you.

This is not true
It does not matter which ID unlocks the phone, it does NOT have to be the same.
Is there any Devloper In Mumbai India with the dev Account i have Dell Venue Pro Nodo Locked i want to unlock it
Thanks
wow that could open a whole market for 3rd party unlocks
like:
registered developer: provide a service to unlock wp7 device for 24h
customer: needs teamviewer or some remote desktop and knowlege about "how to prevent the relock" in most cases advanced config can fix it...
customer provide login information for his remote desktop
connect his wp7 device
developer unlocks the phone with his id and removes it after 24 from the list.
rest you can imagen...
soo.. who want a dev unlock for $10 paypal?
who is the dev to become rich with unlocks?

Yeah but what if someone runs a keystroke logger... this will open up the dev's email and password to the customer. Its a form of trust both the dev and the customer will need to have.
I will do it in person, no problem, but you are right it is possible to unlock infinite devices this way. And most of the people who unlock will run these regedits anyway (unlimted sideloaded xaps + prevent relocking)
well yea the plan is not perfect
i dont know enough about remote desktop to tell you if there is any way to encrypt the data.. maybe simple copy paste would be enough, but yeah, your login details would be at high risk, still its simple to change passwords..
microsoft wants $99 and all of your personal data
in some countrys you have hell of paper work and waiting times around 6month
even $50 for a quick paypal unlock is still a good deal for some..
microsoft has to come after (or with mango) with some homebrew unlock thing or people will come up with these kinda services...
heh hell or post a $5 fiverr.com add
hey i want to spend some $$ to unlock my Dell venue pro is there any body can help me i m in India Mumbai Pm me .
Yep i got a pretty ugly vision how this could work out in the end!
1 MS will revoke a “few” developers status whom enjoy WP7 dev. “sanctuary”, even if they weren't unlocking.
2 We never ever going to see through a MS unlocked update for public use, forever we going to stick with market app....
Its a bit boxed up future. don't you think?
I also would like to have full access to my HTC 7 Pro T7576 it came with NoDo oobe.Zune not even find update yet.
seems soon be unlocking problem solved

right on time
but a small fee? that stinks, lets see how this works out...
wow thats good news
I have a bad journey with my Schubert today...
I hate the crappy image displayed in 16-bit banding screen on mango 2 beta, so i tried to reload it back to 7004 from ANSAR rom.
But, strange, i found the 16-bit color banding right after i flashed my Schubert back to 7004.
I read a few articles about banding issue and tried to unlock my phone in normal way.
But not this time, Chevron Unlock didn't give a thing to me.
With the .cer installed, Zune Opened, Phone Unlocked the lock screen, no https running, it still showed me the messege that i should restart Zune or reconnect the phone. No luck.
Update to 7008 Pre-Nodo, problem still exits, and still can't unlock the phone in Chevron Way. (disabled Antivirus program but no luck)
I ran out of hope, and thought i would lose the unlock with mango beta anyway, so i tried to fix the 16-bit color banding issue by updating to 7392, which Zune claimed "HTC Update for Windows Phone" . I thought a new firmware will help solving the banding problem.
I was wrong.
Update 7392, no unlock, i tried my luck with Provision.exe to update to Mango Beta, but... guess what?
"Trying to unlock your phone in 55s.... can't unlock your phone...."
I was mad, almost threw my HD7 away. But i remember my first back up before i went to Mango for the first time (No-Do 7392, Unlocked, fully loaded with apps and videos/music = 10GB), i tried to restore and it took so long that i could't imagine. Accidently, i touched the cable and the phone lost connection to the PC and rebooted itself.
I tried the provision.exe again, and this time, it allowed me to provision my phone. Updating to Mango Beta 2 right now... And anyone who can provide me a way to solve the 16-bit banding problem in Mango, that would be sweet, or anyone can answer me why Chevron didn't do me a favor to unlock my phone in 7004... (i did it 4 times in the past with the same device.)
What version of Zune are you using? 4.8 beta wont work. I had a huge problem with installing Chevron after I re-locked and tried going back. I uninstalled Zune and in the thread " [Tutorial] Unlock your phone; prevent relock & prepare for updates!" I used the link in step 2 to download an older version of Zune and it worked just fine.
Thanks for the info. I will check it out later.
Now i am having a huge problem with Facebook Intergrated System.
I have Facebook Add-in for my Live Account, and now i can't add it on my phone.
It always say that My facebook account need attention. I type in my password, and then it opened up m.facebook.com for me, which is stupid.

Yes, when i updated to 7392, Zune noticed me the update was "HTC update for Windows Phone".
A new No-Do version, which changed the radio version and something else that i don't know.
Connection Setup is back in the marketplace, under HTC Apps as before.
Current version is 1.12 (build 2119.18323). I saw it because I was prompted to update.
This version *DOES* process \Windows\CustClear.proxml still, assuming you don't have the latest HTC Updates (the Mango ones). Therefore, it's usable for interop-unlock on HTC phones if you can upgrade to Mango without getting the HTC updates (try U2M7720 or just send the CABs directly).
Thought you all would like to know!
I thought that interop-unlock is for Samsung,even though you even have connection setup you can't fully unlock your HTC device with interop-unlock in your device.
Interop-unlock just means having the MaxUnsignedApp value above 300 in the registry. This allows installing and running apps with ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Samsung or any other phone.
Heathcliff74 has released instructions for interop-unlock on LG phones, and an app for Samsung phones. The app is called "Interop-unlock" because that's what it does, but there's other ways to do it. Several other people have given instructions for doing it on HTC phones. It requires three things, though:
A CustClear.provxml file in the Windows folder. This typically means you have to roll back to pre-Mango to put the file there.
A working Marketplace (not sideloaded) copy of Connection Setup, which can process the CustClear.provxml file.
A working HTCFileUtility.dll driver, which typically means upgrading to Mango *WITHOUT* getting the HTC update that comes bundled with it (on HTC phones). You can do this by upgrading using U2M7720, or by deploying the update cabs directly, or by using a custom ROM (though those typically come already interop-unlocked).
After that, the steps are simple: place the CustClear.provxml file that will provision the registry value as needed, upgrade to Mango (sans HTC update), and run Connection Setup. The problem for a lot of people recently was that HTC pulled the Connection Setup app from the marketplace for a few weeks. This post was to let everybody know that it was back, and that it could still be used for unlock.

So I had HTC Connection Setup v1.2 Build 2020.30266 on my unlocked phone by Ansar method (Mango) and the question is: should I update Connection Setup?????
Any unexpected problems will appear or not?
And how to cancel that suggested update????
Im on nodo and not seeing it. ugh. anyone else in the same situation?

Why would HTC put this app back (which doesn't work if you have the HTC update BTW; tried it)? I don't understand HTC re-releasing their app for their HTC devices where it doesn't work with their HTC updates
I have a CustClear file sitting there since I upgraded the OEM route weeks ago (put it in the windows directory in NoDo and did not run/install CS until at final and it did not work; app was removed from MP, now released again and still doesn't work).
It's working for it's original purpose.
Im on Orange Network in the UK and i cant see it yet
Hopefully its just taking its time to filter through as ive held off on build 7403 untill this becomes available again so i can finally upgrade to mango and be interop unlocked,
its been a long wait! lol
Wait. We do not know if it has the same exploits

I hear ya!
I'm starting to wonder if it will show up in the marketplace if youre not on mango.
I checked the marketplace and its still not there. Also the phone prompted me that an update is available (which it usually only did when I was connected to zune)
So any ideas anyone?
I cant use U2M7720 to upgrade I get a warning that the carrier is not in the database.
Just FYI, the app isn't working at all on an HTC Arrive (GoldC). Says it isn't supported by my device.
@atm153: That's unfortunately expected. It only works on GSM devices, and the Arrive is pure CDMA.
Folks on NoDo/7403: Not sure why it's not showing up. If it's targeted for Mango only, that would be... rude.
Folks asking if it works with the latest HTC updates (the Mango ones): Yes if you're asking "Will it set up my connection?" and No if you're asking "Will it unlock my phone?" This is the same as before.
Folks asking if it's safe to update: It appears to be just fine. However, if you're feeling paranoid, create a backup image (restore point). I had just created one for an unrelated purpose, and so was not afraid to test.
Hope that answers all of your questions...
I had HTC Connection setup on my cdma device about 4 months ago and unfortunately deleted it. It worked fine then, it was downloaded from the marketplace.
Really, Jay? That's interesting, it's been reported many times to not work on the Arrive. It works on Verizon's Trophy because that phone has both CDMA and GSM.
Give the new version a shot, I guess... but I wouldn't expect much.
I dont know if this will help anyone as i cant test it but here is a version that i had from a while back. Just thought someone may can use it?

New release of CS does not work on the Verizon Trophy Mango 7720.68 - the carrier is not in the database error comes up.
Huh... are you installing it from Marketplace or via sideloading? I expect that error if you sideload it.
Works on my HD7, but then I also have avoided the latest HTC updates so my phone still has a working HTCFileUtility driver (allows TouchXplorer to work). If I break that driver (manually, without updating) and try to use Connection Setup, I get the same error that you're reporting. It would be fantastically stupid of them to release a version that's incompatible with their own update, but I thought it was pretty dumb to pull it in the first place too (the app has a pretty important legit use...)
I got the phone in feb so im guessing i downloaded it off the market in march or april. I downloaded all the free htc apps to mess around with. What was really odd was when i set it to sprint it messed up everything. When i set it to verizon everything was back to normal. Had i known i wouldve never deleted it.
