Not quite

Hi, you do not have to reunlock your phone. Check on xda forums, there is a simple method to prevent relocking of phone, I have just updated to NoDo and my phone, HTC Trophy, is still unlocked and all side loaded apps are still working.

A few simple steps to unlock and keep it that way:

Phase1:

-----------------------------

1. Do not update to NoDo yet.

2. Install windows phone SDK to a windows 7 pc or windows xp sp3 pc and Zune

3. install the reg file on the PC!

4. disable your PIN verification on the phone

5. Disable your screen timout on the phone, put it always on.

6. Send an email to yourself with the chevron's certificate file and open the email on the phone. Tap the attachment with the certificate file, tap again and chose install your phone should say developer certificate installed.

7. connect the phone to your pc, make sure the Relationship in Zune is not Guest (change it by clicking there on Guest and following screen instructions)

7.1 Close any other software on the pc: skype,yahoo, all, let only Zune running.

8.Minimize Zune and open Chevron's Unlocker, click Unlock it should take no more than 2 seconds. To check if everything is ok after unlocking close Chevron's software,and open it again, now the button should say Relock, if it says Relock your phone has been succesfully unlocked and you can proceed to phase 2.

Phase2:

------------------------

1.Get Tom's Xap installer (google it)

2.Install TouchExplorer and HTC Connection Setup

3.Install the unlockit.xap from this forum to make the phone stay unlocked, and after, run it from the applications menu (it should appear at the bottom of the list as XBMOD.Files.Deployer).

4. Using touch explorer copy \My Documents\My Ringtones\CustClear.provxml to \Windows\

5. Run HTC Connection Setup, pres the check button (that "v" mark) and let it finish.

6. You are done

This has worked for me. After applying all these steps you can now update your phone via Zune. If, somehow your phone gets relocked again use this to unlock it:

Now, we all know that there is no true GPS turn by turn software available yet. But, Navigon has release a version of their navigation software only for T-Mobile users, that's a pain in the a** for others right? Do a search on the google for a patched xap of the navigon software that workes for any SIM provider you have: NAVIGON_MobileNavigator_patched.xap.

Steps to get it work:

1. Download and install the app with Tom's XAP installer.

2. Enable Data Connections on your phone (don't worry, it's smart enough not to use your 3G connection to download any huge data :))

3. Open Navigon Select, it will ask you for activation press ok, it will now simply activate using your 3G/EDGE/whatever you have connection, again don't worry it uses almost 2 or 3KB of data for this.

4. Now it will ask you to connect to a WiFi hotspot for it to download it's main data files,it will not work on your 3G connection.

5. Connect to a WiFi hot spot and let it download all the data needed.

6. After it's done you have a fully working GPS software, but only with Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

7. To get any maps you want do a google search for navigon maps, mainly for 1.7 version.

Installing maps:::

You either get the maps the normal way or you search for navigon 1.7 iphone maps wich come in an .ipa extension. This you can extract with Uniextract and find the required .map files inside.

OK so I presume you have all the .map files you need. Now to be able to put them on the phone you first need to apply the registry trick on the pc so your phone will appear as a device in My Computer (search google for this registry tweak: windows phone 7 as mass storage).

Now copy on the phone in My computer all the .map files you need.

Afterwards open TouchExplorer on your phone, navigate to \my documents\zune\content\0400 and there you will see the files but with a strange extension and name. You have to rename each file with the right map name and the extension .map (austria.map, france.map etc). After you have renamed all the files (please be patient, renaming large map files such as france will take some time so don't freak if your app will appear as frozen, it is not) copy them to the following folder:

\Applications\Data\6F9CB464-BDA......\Data\IsolatedStore\map

There you will see the already existing maps, copy your .map files here, also please be patient!! it will take some time depending on how may maps you have.

I strongly advise you to disable the screen timeout also untill you have finished copying the files!!!

When it's done you can open the Navigon Select and chose a country you have copied, it should appear if you have don all the steps wright.

Mention that if you change your simcard and HTC Connection Setup runs to auto setup your data connection you will need to open Navigon and activate it again, your maps will still be there do not worry.

Good luck!
