Hello, I can't find the original ROM. Somebody could provide it? I need some totaly clean without update, so then I could unlock the cell phone. For now I have the most actual and with that I cannot unlock the cell, unfortunatelly also my backup in Zuna is also with update and it's not possible to unlock the cell with it neither. Thank you

Dont understand why its not possible to dev unlock after updates...unless you are talking Chevron. If this is the case, then you should probably talk to the chevron people as the NODO update closes that gap.
I heard the Chevron people were aware of this, prior to the NODO release and may be able to help you.
Otherwise I do not think anyone here can.
Im also looking for a way to back my phone to 7004. I got a new phone with the 206 FW. So it never had 7004 to unupgrade to..

Are the back ups phone specific? Couldnt you use a back up someone has of the 7004 an the use it to restore you phone from 7392 through Zune? If someone has a back up made that they could post here or send to me, Ill see what I can do to get it to work. My DVP came the 7392 so I dont have it.

phone specific
Hello, so if someone have the original ROM (without all the update)
on the DVP, you can make a backup of the Zune and add a deposit
here to download? Everyone can then restore his ROM to a state before
all updates thanks to this backup and so we can unlock the phone.
Thnx

back up using -> Zune software -> settings -> update -> and here you can drive back up

Hmmm ... maybe less than complete response.
I'm sitting at my update screen. I see that my phone is up to date.
I see my previous restore points.
I do not see anyway to force a backup.
I'm a simple person, and it drives me nuts when people respond and don't respond with detail. As best I understand it right now, there is no way to do a backup via automation (except when doing an update). I know there are ways to do a backup via the support tools -- but that is not what was responded above.

you can not use another phones backup on your phone. they are very much device specific. It has been tried by many in the WP7 forum but with no luck. They are encrypted and function for only the phone that they were created from.

Hi all, before writing this i spent hours reading through the forums for answers and found this to be on hell of a forum, nice work!
This probably should have gone to the x10 debranding thread so if any mods are here and think that that is a better place for it, please, transfer it.
Anyhu, here's the sit...
So i'm from Croatia, Europe and i got my prototype x10 from Poland. It was really cheap so i didn't complain but i just recently found out that i'm running R1DA007 which probably none of you have. I've had the phone for about 2 months i think and it's been one hell of an adjustment from my old w810i...
The problem is, when i run SEUS it says that there are no updates available. The phone is unlocked and my carrier is Tele2 but i don't think that has anything to do with my problem.
I really have no idea what would happen if i tried to debrand this phone and get the 016 update that way. I'm guessing none of you know the answer as well but some of the experienced users might have an idea of what i'm getting myself into.
The thing is, i don't have any insurance for the phone nor do i have the money to buy a new one so i won't do anything which isn't at least 99% sure to work. There are no guarantees in life so i'm not asking for 100%.
With that update, i'm hoping to get a better software solution for my camera which is excellent in macro shots but sucks big time in landscape shot and such, take a look: img707.imageshack.us/img707/8921/dsc0064nv.jpg
Also, the keyboard just sucks. Hitting "a" or "l" is almost impossible from the first attempt so i tried installing this: xperiax10.net/2010/04/07/installing-the-htc-keyboard-on-the-xperia-x10 - but with little luck. I can now see the HTC_IME mod under locale & text and i click on the check box but still, the original android keyboard remains.
Also the white keyboard was "automatically" replaced by a grey /black one which i liked a lot more that the original white one but then it "automatically" disappeared after i restarted the phone. I couldn't find an option to change the current white one, how do i do that?
I need your help guys, any ideas/comments are welcome. Thanks in advanced.
You can't update your X10 until a flasher for it comes out.
at first i would choose the "repair" option in SEUS.
SEUS will then download your current firmware from the server.
you will need it if you want to try the debrand-option and also when something goes wrong.
PS: does your pre-version still have the front-cam in ?
It won't work. SEUS sends a query to the server with TAC and CDA. If one of them is not found then it doesn't update.
I've a proto and I cant update or repair

sorry for my ignorance, flasher for the prototypes or for the regular x10 devicer or it doesn't matter
is a flasher something that has to do with the device being rooted first? so i have to wait for the root and than wait for an application (i presume?) that can
flash my rom?

Yes, you need an application that can flash X10. From what I heard SETool team should have X10 flashing and unlocking soon.
interesting, so i flash it with just the updates or i have to have the whole package?

Guessing your going to have to do a full flash, but why not when cooked ROMs are about.
Can you see if you can extract the boot.img from your device?
sure, just tell me how do i do that and i'll try
i asked about doing the full flash because then i'll loose all my programs, data etc...i don't loose those when just updating, right?
No point.
1. You can't flash it back
2. I have already given it to Balsat who wanted to test it out
sorry i didn't get this
are you saying that there's no point in doing a full flash or?

ok, thanks
the SEUS app doesn't let me choose anything, when i connect it, that is the only thig that it says, no repair/install options
you need to use the EMMA tool from sony ericsson to update prototypes, you also need to have a working user and pass for it
hm, i don't have it but i might be able to get one
i'll ask the guy who gave me the phone
ps. would that mean that i could update it to 016 or up to as far as prototypes were tested?
You need Emma OA or R&D access.
could you calrify just a little bit please? btw. thank you all, you've been most helpful
it means (if you have access to it) that you could upgrade to any X10 firmware released
I have an HTC Surround that I bought on eBay that originally came from Telus in Canada. I don't live in Canada and I am not connected to the Telus network. Is there any way I can break my Surround's link with Telus and leave it unbranded?
I have looked at the ROMS Ansar has posted here but they all appear to be branded. I'm not certain what the unbranded radio ROMs do? Do they break the link?
At the end of the day, I just don't want a mobile operator on the other side of the world deciding when I can an can't get updates.
Mike
UNbranded version of surround simply does not exist .. that model is EXCLUSIVE for certain carriers
First, download the WP SDK developer tools from here. You'll need them to be able to sideload and install the necessary XAP files.
You will need to developer unlock your device using the instructions here. It was tricky for me, as I did it this morning, and it took the better part of an hour as well as a hard reset to get the Chevron unlocker to communicate with the phone.
You will then need to follow the directions here for debranding your device. The reason why I included the previous steps is that the wpcentral article did not contain enough info by itself to get you on your way.
Let me know if this helped. By the time you finish, you should be able to connect to Zune and get the 7008 "pre-NoDo" update.
Thanks jwzg.
My timing was terrible! The posts telling me how to debrand HTC phones came out a few hours after I asked the question .
Telus made the pre-NoDo update yesterday and my phone is now at 7008 without any hacking required.
I tried unlokcing the phone with Chevron but it wouldn't connect. Before I go through the drama of hard resetting, can anyone confirm if I do this that NoDo will be available?
Has anyone successfully loaded NoDo onto their Surround?
Frankly, I'm prepared to wait another week for NoDo. I am more intersted in permanently breaking the link betwen Telus and my phone so that they have no say in when I can apply available updates.
I'm on Telus and tried it. It didn't give me NoDo. I don't think MS has rolled out to unbranded phones in Canada yet.
for unbranding ... you need disassemble rom . and in XIP section ... EDIT KERNEL boot registry .
thats first .. second - unbranded surround simply does not exist ..
1. TELUS
2. AT&T
3. Cingular
there is not unbranded version like for HD7 - MOZART
if you completely delete carrier information as i described above you could loose updates at all completely
I followed the steps to "unbrand" my surround and lost the ability to send MMS.
The fix was to delete connection setup, redownload it from the marketplace and run it again. Just a suggestion if you follow those steps.

I've already posted a tutorial on getting NoDo here. You may have to unbrand and get the pre-NoDo update first, before you follow the directions in that thread.
Sorry, been busy at work. I originally got the 7008 build update, then just tonight went through all the "methods" in the WP7 section and downloaded the March update (7390) which I just finished installing. Both times were connected to my laptop (Win7 64 bit ultimate) using the latest Zune software.
Nodo seems snappier so far. And my phone stayed unlocked because I used the preventing relock trick.
You cannot unbrand the Surround. This is because the other devices you can buy as unbranded but the Surround is only available threw carriers.

What everybody is asking about is changing the mobile operator string in the registry that tells MS/Zune which carrier you are using. Technically, it is not unbranding but fooling whatever is checking into thinking the device was an unbranded phone.
I also sharpied over the AT&T logo so it looks like it is unbranded
You can't change the string to unbranded because it doesn't exist. Thats what I have read.

I made my own provxml to change the mobile operator string using directions on this site, loaded it into provxml deployer and ran it. I immediately was offered the 7008 pre update build when I synced with Zune. I think it worked just fine.

This post explained a few things, especially with the tool to convert .reg/.rgu files to provxml. I exported a reg from my computer, deleted all lines and re-wrote using the example codes listed. I then used the tool at the bottom of the first post to convert it.
This Is worth a read too...
This thread is where to get the provxml deployer and how to use it.
I don't have too much more time, but read those threads and search the attachments of the dev/hacking threads about NODO and I guarantee someone has already posted up a good working provxml that you can borrow to get some de-branding action.
*EDIT* I attached the exact xap I used to do the mods which got me to nodo. Use at your own risk, I take no responsibility blah blah blah. It makes sure to unlock, prevents relocking, opened advanced settings in the ease of access panel and changed the mobile operator string to "000-88" and following the methods to get nodo listed in WP7 general section and much trying, I was successful. Feel free to go through it and make your own mods, or use this. Or decompile it for an example. Either way, good luck.
So I finally updated to nodo. I was never unlocked because I wanted to wait for this update. Now that Im updated would i follow the normal guide to updating or is there a newer one?

currently no way to unlock once NoDo is installed... as discussed at nasium You'll have to use the backup the updater made and revert back to pre Nodo. Unlock then use the samsung tools to prevent relocking then run the Nodo update again.
That's currently the only way of having a NoDo unlocked phone outside of just paying to be a developer. You know.... the lagit way!

Hello everyone ...
I am in great need of help cause I'm seriously having a hard time ... So I'm running LEO70 on my hd2 thanks to DFT team and I have already jailbroke it with Chevron .. Now I haven't used it for a while cause I had to take it for repairs because of a hardware problem ( Vol Up not working ) and I promise you the people did not even boot my phone so it was untouched software wise .. Anyway I wanted to put a custom ringtone using the ChevronWP7 Ringtone Installer tool .. I did used it and when I wanted to deploy it onto my HD2 it tells me that my device has to be developer unlocked . So i research and then use the Windows Phone Developer Registration tool which tells me that i have to have an account on their site first . I go on to do the account and my country isnt supported so i use another address in the US ( cousin's house ) and when it comes to the payment option i get really lost cause it tells me about Xbox Live or paying 99$ or what not and the xbox live app on my hd2 isn't associated with my real xbox live account...
So technically wanting a custom ringtone lead me to this deep **** here ... Anyone help ? Please this is getting on my nerves ... Thank you in return.

Yes go for Xmodbox 1.10 rom, as you wont have to bother with the Chevron crap anymore.
Just re,ember to format your SD Micro card, run task29, then magldr 113, and then the rom.
You may get a few re-boot loops, but this will sort its self out. And re-check the date/time settings after the boot.

i wouldnt say its an overwhelming leap, but ive been using it for a few days and ive not found anything negative with it so theres nothing to lose, i wouldnt say theres much better in it either to be honest the search changes in the marketplace are welcome, but yeah, if you going to be flashing anyway you may as well do it, if you not wanting to flash just yet, wait for Mango, your not missing much
I just had my phone to a shop to get it unlocked but they were unable to unlock it has anyone else tried to unlock theres or are there certing builds that cant be unlocked.mine is on orange uk at the moment
Can't you just unlock it with gfree?
You should be able to unlock the phone yourself using the guides posted here on xda forums. Theres a few so just pick one which you can understand and go for it.

to unlock ur Simlock u will have to root ur phone to gain write access to patch / alter the file and have gone through the downgrade process to 1.32 FW. A shop prolly wont do that process for you as they tend to do the exact opposite and flash a non rooted Rom.
