for those who are still on nodo 7390, an update has been released for some time now -> build 7392 which addresses some issues with certs.
those with dev unlocked phones will not be able to check with zune update server for this update.
error code 8000FFFF <- dont worry, you're not locked out from update like the walshies.
you need to relock your phones using appmfg reboot and plug in the phone. only then will zune detect the new update.
do not install touchxperience, this will also prevent the update. once updated, just unlock your phones again using appmfg.
homebrews are working well with registered dev cert.
sorry if this has been posted. too lazy to check and just wanted to share.
you DON'T have to HARD RESET your phone and lose all the stuff synced.

Hey all. I am currently an android user looking into trading for a focus.
Problem is, the phone had WP7 chevron run on it and now has the nodo update.
My question is; since MS said no more updating for phones with chevron run on them, can I remove or revert to a non chevron installed state? From what I have read here, nodo "breaks" chevron, does that mean I can install future updates?
I just want to make sure I dont trade for a crippled phone...
I got the Samsung update after the NODO. Mine was Chevron 7 updated for NODO.
Where did you get the Samsung update? How did you apply it?
Also, is there a way to flash the original OEM firmware to get a "stock" phone?
Waiting to see
I used Chevron on my Focus so I could debrand it and used the timing trick to get NoDo myself, so after the MS release, I spent a while poking around online. As near as I can tell, what MS was warning against was the use of the chevron updater tool, not the original unlocker. MS had already said NoDo would basically "fix" the original chevron hack, so, I think they had that covered. If it was just an unlocked phone that got the update naturally through Zune (even if by trickery), it should be within what they expected. But, the updater apparently forced the NoDo update using some other function on the phone, and that seems to be where the worry is coming from.
But, in the end, if you don;t have a Zune backup from before the update (mine didn't successfully keep them, so, no rolling back for me) the only thing any of us can do is wait for either the next release and see what happens, or for someone to figure out how to get a rom. So far, I'm expecting to see the update first, but, you never know.
I am new to WP7 and would hate to get a crippled phone. Thank you both for your info.
I used the chevron ulocker. It ran in a DOS command window. It did the pre NODO, then it did the NODO. A few days later, I connected it to ZUNE and it announced there was a Sansung update. It went fine.
1.Chevron actually will not affect ur update. What MS said was using Chevron Updater MIGHT prevent you from further update, but what actually happened is that people used Chevron Updater still got Samsung Firmware update.
2.Get rid of Chevron unlock, is easy, just do a factory reset.

Pretty much what this guy said. I did the NODO timing update on my debranded Focus. Samsung update wouldn't show up in Zune until I did a Factory Reset.
So the Chevron team released their tool to allow phones that have been forcefully updated to start receiving updates the regular way again. Is there any chance this would put the HD2 into a state that would allow us to update to NoDo?

ive not tried it but i seriously doubt it, the updating still needs to be done the usual way, and that way restarts the device to updating mode where the device is then identified as a LEO, at which point updating fails.
whats needed is us to stop it being identified as a LEO in the update mode and i believe we'll then be able to do normal updates.
I have the Samsung Focus and have Unlocked it with Chevron Unlock Tool. I already updated to the latest firmware version, the one with copy and paste and it seems that the Chevron Unlock is still intact as I can still sideload apps.
I want to reset the phone to wipe all my personal info since I'm going to sell the phone, so:
1) would resetting it wipe the Chevron unlock even though I've installed the Samsung tool that prevents relocking?
2) Would I still be able to use the Chevron Unlock with the latest firmware on the Focus? (in case the next buyer wants a Chevron Unlocked phone)
TIA.
If you do the format reset then yes the phone will be relocked. It will be in the same state as it was when it was new in the box.
Chevron is just "Dev" unlocking the phone, allowing code to be installed and run that is NOT signed and vetted etc... for marketplace.
It isnt a true "Jailbreak". All you are doing is installing a cert and then Dev unlocking the device so a reset clears all those settings.
The latest OS upgrade will NOT chevron unlock. You can reset, unlock and then update via the official AT&T updater with zune and it all works and stays unlocked. I have done this to 7390

So you mean since I already updated to the latest firmware, Chevron unlock would no longer work?
You are using the term "Firmware" and I am referring to the NODO update. So if you are at 7390 then no chevron doesnt work.
I did the official AT&T update and was able to use the backup it made to revert to the original OS, chevron unlock then NODO update and am still unlocked.
If you want to make the phone "unlockable" for the next user,
I would use the Zune backup to revert to 7008, if that's still possible, and from there, do the "reset"
This would remove the unlock, but the new owner of the phone could unlock again in this state.
If your backup doesn't restore the phone to 7008, but 7390, there is currently nothing you can do to "reset" the phone and make it unlockable
im currently in 7004 and unlocked my focus and installed samsung tools, i ckeched the Prevent relock and would like to update, will NoDo itself relock my phone or will Zune sync relock? since im using the SamsungTool can i now update to NoDo 7008 then 7390
The steps are located here:

The only thing I had changed is that I could not use AdvancedConfig.1.2.0.0.beta.xap for whatever reason, I had to download the Samsung Tools which are located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497&page=12
I suggest getting the updated tool that 4epec4yp posted because it will tell you when you have the registry settings changed to prevent it from re-locking.
Honestly it really is as easy as:
- Flashing the original ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131022)
- Use ChevronWP7 to unlock
- Install Samsung Tools (above) and set to prevent re-lock on update
- Update to NoDo
The hardest part for me was unlocking with ChevronWP7, for me I just had to disconnect my computer from the internet and put my phone in the windows market and that did it for me, not saying it will work for you.

You can update safely. I did the same as you plus unbranding (clear ATT-US) and now on NoDo, unlocked.
You can check if "prevent relock" works by syncing in another computer (fully, not Guest) and then going back to the comp you unlocked to check Re-Lock with Chevron. That's how I tested mine. If you sync to another comp and don't do the steps to "prevent relock" before that, Zune will lock your phone on the new computer sync, and when you check on the original comp with Chevron, you will see "Unlock" instead of "Re-Lock".
Hi, So I updated to 7720 no problem and wanted to do the isv beta cleanup which wasn't working so I relocked the phone using chevron after reading that several people did this and the update worked and then they could unlock again using chevron.
Now I have a device with the isv beta cleanup update that is locked and chevron keeps bringing up the standard can't find device error whenever I try and run it (yes, I have transferred the certificate again and installed it) and whenever i try to deploy the device unlock cab using the cab installer I get what is shown in the picture below. Does anyone have any ideas?
(I have tested the device and it is definitely locked at this point in time)
Thanks

you dont need to reinstall certificate or unlock cab.
just hard reset and your unlocked from start! its bult into the rom! you just need fresh updated start of os not updated start!
boot phone and at gogogo hold both vol buttons then hit vol- 2 times.
I know you have to hard reset when you update to 7720. I did that. And the unlock was fine, but after the cleanup update I can no longer unlock. Are you suggesting that I hard reset AGAIN?!
I spent so much time setting the damn phone up ~_~
