[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] :
Hm.. you created a backup after provisioning. So I assume this is the backup you've restored last time? Okay, there's a difference between a backup which has been created while Zune 4.7 and one which has been created while Zune 4.8 installed - even if the backup wasn't created by Zune itself: Take a look at the tool's thread: BACKUP & RESTORE TOOL BY hx4700 Killer. Probably your PC was running 4.8 and the default registry entries weren't safed - so there's nothing that can't be restored either. Do you remember what version of Zune you had installed while you've created the backup(s)?

Yes, that's right.

I'm pretty sure that you'll receive those updates :) You've still installed the original/default ROM :)

Sorry, I can't take a look into the XAP file and search what's actually changed =/ Maybe you find someone who can do this or just ask the developer :) I extracted the file (like a .zip file) and saw some files.. Seems like there will also be a ringtone capability installed - but this shouldn't keep your phone from receiving carrier updates :D

I'm on Mango yet so I can't help you to get the default values. Maybe you just should ask it in a new thread. Also tell them that you've got a HD7 (I'm not sure if it depends on the phone model, but safe is safe :)) and that you need the default registry entries of NoDo :)

This registry editor doesn't have full read and write access to the registry. So sometimes you won't be able to see some entries or to access further keys. I'd recommend you to use the provxml method :) It's better if you exactly know what keys and values you want to change - what is mostly the case :) With provxml you should be able to change every registry entry you want :)

If you don't know what provxml method is, please take a look at the first post in this thread - because I've updated it with a common description to clarify it a bit :)

I'm pretty sure :) But like I already said: Maybe someone can confirm this?

Yes :( But the community here is great - it's amazing what I've learned about WP7 in such a short time :)

And now there's SPL for the first generatrion of HTC devices :) I hope it will soon be released on Samsung devices, too :)

At the moment I've got the choice between a new ROM file (<- there's NoDo already included; so after installing it I'm not able to unlock it) or a unlocked Mango :(

The new ROM file would contain a perfect solution for the problem of accidentially hitting the "back" or "search" button but I'm not able to unlock it, because it has got NoDo already installed and to keep the unlock you've to jailbreak before installing NoDo :( Of course I could still update to Mango but this doesn't solve the unlock problem :o

And when I install the old ROM (no update installed) I can jailbreak it and get a unlocked Mango update - but I'll never get the fix like in the newer ROM file =/

With SPL available we have the ability to install custom ROM files (basically this means modified systems). So in my example I could install a ROM file which has got both: The ability to be developer unlocked by ChevronWP7 (even if it has NoDo installed!) and the fix for accidentially hitting the two buttons :) That would be awesome :)
