thanks for keeping us up to date, here is my latest journey ;)

start at Mango:

OS: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware: 2250.21.13301.111

Radio: 5.65.09.25_22.45.50.21U

Boot: 1.33.2250.1(123643)

22:50 - Install Backup of Tmode Chevron Unlocked Nodo

OS: 7.0.7392.0

Firmware: 2250.21.13301.111

Radio: 5.65.09.25_22.45.50.21U

Boot: 1.33.2250.1(123643)

23:10 - Update to Mango 7720 via Ansar Guide with the u2m7720.xap

NOTE: 7704 TO 7720 update automaticly started to download files,

i had to abort it to prepare..

00:25 Update Finished

OS: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware: 2250.21.40501.111

Radio: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.20.21U

Boot: 4.5.2250.1(128979)

Device is locked, Cant be unlocked :(

ive run connection setup then, then u2m7720 but its revoked by ms

maybe after the phone finished the update

it restarted 2 times.

i had it connected to zune and it was again looking for updates but found none,

connection setup is v1.9 (build 2114.38210)

i guess i should have disconnected it after finshed update at restart..

aww shoot, maybe it was unlocked but u2m7720 needs interop unlock to work?? Oo

i didnt try anything else (because of revoked msg) and wanted to restart the whole process

now currently installing backup again, i really should have thought about that earlier...

00:40 - Install Backup of Tmode Chevron Unlocked Nodo

to be continued...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

You must use DoNotU2hTC in order to avoid an hTC update

if you receive a 4.5.2250 bootloader the device will be hTC locked

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] webwalk®:
aw that blows, not only because U2M7720 doesnt have DoNotU2hTC function :(

but because the backup sticks with new bootloader..

OS: 7.0.7392.0

Firmware: 2250.21.13301.111

Radio: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.20.21U

Boot: 4.5.2250.1(128979)

currently on:

OS: 7.1.7403.0

Firmware: 2250.21.13301.111

Radio: 5.69.09.05a_22.50.20.21U

Boot: 4.5.2250.1(128979)

but unlocked...

i see newest version of update tool have all updates included, i should have installed newest version...

wow bad mistake, i didnt notice that newest guide covers all updates as well, ill try with newest version with DoNotU2hTC and hope it does still work

so i installed U2M8107, did DoNotU2hTC

try to to update to 7720 ... urgh, zune gives error code 800700AA .. lets see,,, probably no space on c left ;)

awesome everything worked nice, thanks for the quick reply, it really helped a lot :)

now lets see .. backup and interop ...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thekiller99:
">>.. NOTE: you may also use your already dev unlocked

>>.. stock 7720 or custom 7720 or 7720 RTM ROM

>>.. but is not yet tested that will be a successful update "

When will the test for Stock Rom 1st gen HTC be confirmed working?

And this is a dumb question but i want to be sure if i already have 7740 unlocked i start from "//... 2nd update (7.10.8107.79 )...//" right?

Thanks for replying in advance
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Take care for not allowing HTC future updates because will install a 5.10 or higher bootloader

Thnx for commenting and supporting!!

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

I have alredy tested 1.69.401 that goes up to 7.10.8107.79

This without any HTC update, due to bootloaders installations

With HTC updates you will also receive a total ROM update that

will block everything, is like to flash a stock ROM!!

Mod Edit: Quote removed. Come on, quoting such a long post is going to make a mess of this thread, Please either use the @user, or cut the part you want to ask about.

After the latest HTC Tropy (Verizon U.S.) firmware update this seems not to work. :( Any advice or pointers?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thekiller99:
OmG i followed your last update from 7720 to 7740 and had 2 HTC updates then 1 Firmware update. But for some reason my stock rom HTC HD7 is still dev unlocked and interop...Will i be able to follow your UM8104 and update my phone and still have it dev unlocked/interop?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Advice or pointers? Absolutely!

Never, EVER quote something anywhere near that big!

In fact, the Quick Reply button takes less time to use.

There's hardly any point in quoting the OP anyhow, that's what the whole thread is about!

Oh, and restore the backup that Zune created (obvious answer for all bad cases of "After ... update...").

Oh, and the forum has a Search feature. The latest Verizon Trophy firmware update has been quite widely reported to be harmful to homebrew.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] webwalk®:
thanks for the reminder :)

thats why i keep 7720 for now

but i have problem with U2M8107

i switched to nokia market

now some days later i try to switch back to htc but its not working.

it was working on the first day, i switched, nokia, lg, htc, but nokia apps wont work if not set to nokia, so i kept nokia in the end.. now i try to switch back to htc for htc hub update but i cant get back there..

i know this is a registry based hack

i didnt try to reboot phone

i didnt check the registry for right settings

any suggestions ?

dont know how but somehow its working now...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Better option is to help mods and report his post.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
hi ansar! i yesterday proceed to the "htc" update i was on 7.10.8107 but i have stated that i can no more edit the registry after this update. like you sad in the description it blocks it... i am now restoring my backup and hope that it will restore the firmware too??? i have bootloader now 5.1 something and i have no more HSPL. is this ugly or can it be reversed with your SLSPL for HD7? or can i simlply restore te backup i have from yesterday?

p.s. i have tested your NT ROM for hTc 7 pro and it really good made, congrats for that!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

It has been stated that if you allow an HTC update then the device will be locked

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

After the 2 HTC updates there is no update with bootloader included

It will be ok to update to 7.10.8107.79

You can also if U2M8107 works ok with MyWallPaper and Wallpaper

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

It is known issue that happens after power off and power on (soft reset) between device switching

You must switch to the original device, make a soft reset and wait for one or two days

If you have installed a NewTech ROM then also a hard reset can be performed

without loosing the dev / interop unlock

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

From 4.5 restoring works but may not from 5.10 or higher bootloaders

If you have a real HTC_Europe (401) device then there is SLSPL for 7 Pro

Thnx for commenting and supporting!!

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
thx, but it restored from 5.1 bootloader and i have my old frimware back with my interop unlock... and the two htc updates are now packed as one.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Glad you solved, thnx for commenting!!

I will release a V1.3 of U2M8107.xap with a more advanced unlock and relock

The ansar unlock (and relock for other than NewTech ROMs) will unlock even hTC updates

Hello.

Has this thread stopped? For many days nobody comments on anything.

I understand that we all have things that to do but more than 15 days have spent and I do not see

no comment.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] acid01:
thk u ansar for this grate tutorial .i succesfully update my hd7 unlocked stock rom from 7720 to 8107.

thank u very much
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] webwalk®:
so i have used U2M8107 again to switch from htc to nokia

now i cant download from marketplace anymore and some apps stopped working.

on marketplace i get errorcode: 80004005

i tried switching back, waited some days, restart device...

seems its broken...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Aaaaand this is why we don't use programs that make changes to your phone without telling you what they do!

There is a very well-documented problem with using the registry (DeviceTargetingInfo key) to change your OEM name for purposes of accessing other Marketplaces. It messes up the app DRM, and will both prevent future downloads and will break all your current Marketplace apps. Even reverting to the original OEM won't fix anything (as you noticed).

The correct approach is to use a hack similar to what my OEM Marketplace XAPs do (see the link in my sig, if you want). U2M does this, but it *also* modifes the registry! (Confirmed by disassembly.)

It's very irresponsible of @ansar to release and not remove any app using such a known-to-be-dangerous hack!

UNTIL FIXED, DO NOT USE THE OPTIONS TO SWITCH DEVICE/OPERTOR/MARKETPLACES OR YOU RISK BREAKING ALL MARKETPLACE APP FUNCTIONALITY!

I'm sorry to say this, but the only known fix for your situation is to roll back your phone to a prior backup, or to hard-reset (or flash a new ROM, which includes a hard-reset).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cabrini:
Hello.

After one month without continuing Ansar with this thread, it is of supposing that something is not fine... Does anybody go away to do I load of this thread or it goes away to close? It would be interesting to have news on this matter.

I hope that they should be only 'technical' and not personal or physical problems.

Thank you in advance and greetings.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@Cabrini: you may want to either change translation services, or include your question in Spanish as well as the translation. I cannot understand what you are asking.

If you want to know when the next version of the app comes out, that's a bad question to ask. Nobody, including the app's author, knows how long it will take to develop a hack into a useful working app, and neither do they know how much time they'll have to work on it (most of this is hobby work; we have jobs and other responsibilities too).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] webwalk®:
thanks i knew it was something like this, u said it in another thread i think.

it was working once so i thought i may work twice :)

i was wrong, luckly after my last update i made a fresh up-to-date backup..

looks anyway like i have to flash a custom rom...

all the goodies are locked by ms... :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cabrini:
Hola y gracias por permitirme expresarme en castellano.

Primero, pedir disculpas por si no me he expresado correctamente (uso un traslator y a veces creo que la traducción no es correcta).

Segundo, comprendo vuestra labor y trabajo y soy consciente de que todos tenemos otras ocupaciones. El comentario que hice era por si hubiese ocurrido alguna circunstacia ajena al foro con Ansar, ya que me parecía mucho tiempo el no hubiera ningún post de él, comentando cuestiones relacionadas con su trabajo. Simplemente era cuestión de saber, que las personas que son activas en el foro y dejan un tiempo de serlo, esten bien.

Nuevamente gracias y saludos.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
From Bing Translate:

First, apologize if I have not spoken correctly (I use a traslator and sometimes think that the translation is not correct).

Second, understand your work and work and I am aware that we all have other occupations. The comment I made was in case had occurred some unrelated to the Forum with Ansar circunstacia, that it seemed long not had any post from him, commenting on issues related to their work. It was just question, that persons who are active in the Forum and leave a time be, are well.

Again thanks and greetings.

I haven't seen anything from Ansar in a while, either. I don't know if he's planning to update this app or not. My guess is that he probably will when the next OS release comes out, because it is genuinely useful to some people (although I find the CAB sender to work just fine). You could try sending him a PM (Private Message) and see if he responds, I guess.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cabrini:
Hello.

Thanks for you interest. Anyhow I would like to prove another formula, because the app of Ansar is well to update but also it gives some problem... Am I going to see the thread of interop or CAB, which you advise me?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
Hi ansar. good to hear that. do you have in plans to make ROMs for htc 7 pro (gold) like the last times? and do we have some chance to get tango in the near future. or is it possible that i can get the update over ZUNE with my NT ROM of you? just maybe another u2m8107 u2m....xap for the next update?

great work!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] enyaj:
sorry for the noob question. I searched everywhere and could seem to find what I'm looking for. Maybe cause there a so much pages. Anyway, if I hard reset my HD7, would it re-lock my phone?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
if you use this New Tech (NT) ROM in this thread here IT DOES NOT RE-LOCK after reset :) thats the beauty of this rom.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cabrini:
Hello.

And in case of not having is it rom installed, but if U2M8107, it might restore without loss of the unlock?

Thank you in advance and greetings.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Without a custom ROM, any hard-reset will revert all unlocks. They are registry changes, and the default values on a stock ROM for those registry values make the phone locked.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
your device is then locked after the hard reset, despite the fact that you have u2m8107 installed on it. the app would be awaken by microsoft. and you could't use it anymore, or if you can use it you can not unlock your device with it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Cabrini:
Hello.

OK and thanks for the response.

It is clear that U2M8107, if you do not possess rom personalized, only it serves to be able to update across Zune without the mobile is blocked (that is already a good progress...).

I have U2M8107 v.1.1 installed, if I install it v.1.2., that I will have progress? Or, on not having had rom personalized, does not one matter that other one?

Thank you and greetings.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
after that you must reset your device, then it will be displayed. same with returnig the marketplace to your stock, after taping on the marketplace-dev unlock/exit and restart device.

Or is there a better way pref not wiping device?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
the goldcard is the easiest way to downgrade your bootloader, if you have two cables for your device - pc to connect you can use one of them to make an y cable, just slice the rubber away from the cable in the middle approx. then slice all the insulation from the green and white cables inside, thats where the data comes trough. get yourself another usb cable and cut of the male side, use only the female side! bind your green cable to the green one in the cable before, and the white ones to the white. leave the black and red, thats for power which will come from your pc. now tape all that with insulation tape and now the fun part, get an image for your device, in this case Schubert.nbh fro mthis thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1597837

Format you Usb stick to fat23 format, then copy this Schubert.nbh on a usb stick i used a Sony 8GB USB stick. after that plug you phon to the one end with the micro usb, the other end to you pc, turn your pc on to get power to that port so that your device is loading its battery, after that the usb stick to the female port and then -> turn off your device with the power button hold down the VOL-(minus) button, camera button to the end, and the power button (if the device dont go on automatic). hold these button till a grey screen appears with blue font, on top you will see the image (.nbh) you put on you usb stick, after that the radio you will se, and you wait, possibly 1-10min. if there stays ony Schubert.nbh ok and nothing happens wait, wait till there stays ok, if not try restarting the device the same way like first time (vol- button, camera button, power button) and then the same then it shoul be fine. there should be than at the middle of the screen "update complete - Update Success" white font on blue sign. after that unplug your device and restart, you should have than a 1.* bootloader. after that found here on xda your device and a STOCK ROM! with the bootloader 1.* or 2.* but not 5.*! after that you have this stock rom which is able to do a rspl/hspl. after rspl hspl you can flash a custom rom for your device.

I have successfuly recovered my htc 7 pro from a totally bricked bootloader with only one line display on top to a 1.22 bootloader with this method. so it can be device dependent how it solves problems, but i think any bootloader can be fixed this way. more info you will find on the thread i posted above in this message. i hope you will fix you device.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Saste:
does this work for your unbranded roms with 7004 on it work also or only for the new custom roms?

so can i use u2m7720 on stock roms also wich have state of nodo and are unlocked to get to final mango rom with chevron unlock remained?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] viking13:
Almost. :(

I flashed ansar's 7004 Vodafone DE unbranded rom.

I unlocked phone with ChevronWP7 and installed U2M7720.

I started U2M7720 and Clicked on Unlock.

Updated to 7008 and unlocked again with ConnectionSetup.

I started U2M7720 and Clicked on Unlock.

Updated to 7392 and unlocked again with ConnectionSetup.

I started U2M7720 and Clicked on Unlock.

Updated to 7403 and unlocked again with ConnectionSetup.

Everything is just fine until that moment!!!

I started U2M7720 and Clicked on Unlock.

Connected my phone to Zune and installed update over Zune to 7720 (as all previous ones).

I started ConnectionSetup. But nothing happened. I cannot stat U2M7720 anymore. :(

Ansar wrote this:

// After successful update to mango 7720 RTM //// You have been warned!!! ////

// and before running Zune, perform these 2 provxml steps //

But since I updated to 7720 over Zune and not over ISVTo7720.bat I think that I'm helpless.

Any help? :confused:

Yes I know I can update over ISVTo7720.bat, but that is not my goal.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

You see that was your mistake: you did run Connection Setup and destroyed unlock

I said million of times:

We end U2M7720 with tap on Chevron Unlock (exit of U2M7720)

You can do anything in the mean time but do not touch Connection Setup

Update

Run Connection Setup after update !!!

Regards, ansar
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ansar.ath.gr:
Hi,

Use the same approach:

Run diagnosis or equivalent and set your unlock.xml but do not fire up before update

Update and fire up unlock.xml after update

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] strtrkn:
I really wish I'd seen the post before I updated to mango. My phone was chevron unlocked & now it's not (by no ones fault but my own). I really don't want to roll back (I had issues left over from the walsh nodo update that were preventing me from updating). I don't suppose there's a way to do this AFTER you've already flashed to mango?
