[Q]Dev Unlock+mango beta update - Focus General

anyone knows how to keep the phone dev unlocked and update to mango?

Update to Mango:
- real Microsoft developer unlock (paid) - sideloading works
- Chevron unlock - sideloading no longer works
There is no way to keep a "Chevron unlocked" status if you update to Mango.
At least not yet.

Developer Unlock after install Mango RTM

So I installed the new mango build on my buddies Verizon HTC Trophy, afterwards I cannot Developer Unlock his phone using Windows Phone Device Registration. I have performed this successfully on my 2 Dell Venue Pro's and Samsung Focus but for some reason the Trophy gives a unrecognizable by zune error. Please help

If I have NoDo and I want to do a Developer Unlock, will official Mango release lock the phone back?

Isn't 3 the limit you can unlock?
I'm having a problem unlocking my DVP and my HD7S
OS version is 8862
I have a paid wp DEV acct. I was able to unlock my Nokia 920 using the wp8 sdk, but i'm getting nowhere with the wp7 sdk.
I noticed that when i open zune, i also get a message saying it was unable to create a connection between the phone and the internet; i've never seen that message in the past.
When i use the wp7 developer unlock tool, it says "unable to connect to phone, please check that zune software is running. . . . . "
I've searched the forum many times and haven't found a solution that works yet.
thanks.

Hmm. Is the device on the same WiFi network? I'm not sure why it is saying that.

Yep, same wifi.
I've tried it with two different DVP phones now.
I have another DVP on the way with no OS updates; should be here next week.

[Q] Unlocked phone remains unlocked ?

I just got an unlocked focus that was once AT&T, but I will be using it on Telus. I was wondering, if I update it to mango unofficially, will it stay unlocked ?
Also, is there any news on official mango updates ?

For updating/unlocked, check my answer here
For Mango there are only rumors, indicating Mid September.
I tried entering *#7465625#, and everything is disabled except network lock. Does that mean it's still locked ? I don't have a non-att sim to try yet

Yes, it's still locked. Can you try and toggle it disabled?
You can get a cheap unlock on ebay nowadays, for a few bucks.

Phone works, but MMS doesn't. I just get the notification that I received an MMS, but it won't open, and I also can't send it
How would I dev unlock ? I've ooked, the answer always seems to be "go do a search"

If you're not on 7004/7008 then you need to re-flash a rom from here and do the Chevron unlock.
There is no unlock post 7008 (NoDo or Mango) except for developer unlock (paid).
After you flashed 7004 and unlocked, update to NoDo, install SMS xap (diagprovxml) and try to update to Mango, if the carrier has released it specifically for your phone. That's for short, but it's actually quite complicated.

That's a typical probelm for unlocked phone used in another carrier because there is no easy way to manually configure MMS on a new carrier on WP7. WP7 relies on Automatic Device Configuration by the carrier network or pre-defined configuration on the handset.
But Samsung has a Network tool app you can download from marketplace. If your carrier is on the list, you can use the tool to switch the network profile so that your MMS will work.
Network tool only shows ATT
As for dev unlocking, it, along with everything else, will not affect my carrier unlock ever, is that correct ?
Looking at the dev unlock stuff, how do I flash it back to 7004 / 7008 ? Can't find an option in Zune
Thanks

Flash a 7004 rom from here.
Unlocking (Chevron or developer) is the ability to sideload applications. Doesn't affect your carrier (un)lock.

How update to future official Mango and leave phone unlocked?

Hi,
I just took home HTC Trophy. It has version 7004, so I can use Chevron tu unlock it. I need it, because I have to change some registry setting before update to Mango, so it would download Mango localized into my language.
My queations are:
1) Do I need to update phone to some mid-version before going to official Mango, or will it be update from 7004 directly to Mango? I need to have that modified registry value in time, I will be making Mango update, so I dont know, if some mid-version would not delete that modified value...
2) Will be phone still unlocked after doing update to official version of Mango (of course in time it will be released)?
Thanks for answers!

I updated to mango today. had nodo unlocked but device was locked after update... reverted back to nodo and are looking for the way to get mango and stay unlocked.
Need mango for whatsapp
You can give this a try. Didn't work for me but some claim it does. Other than this there isn't a way to do this right now (AFAIK).

thanx LiFePo4. After reverting back to nodo and installing the U2M7720_V1.2.xap i was able to unlock after mango update. Running HTC update now.

[Q] 8107 update

heard that the 8107 update is being rolled out...has anyone with a dvp got it? any new features?

Repetively checked via zune since we first heard about the 8107 and still says its current with 7740 Factory unlocked AWS 16GB DVP in Canada.
Hoping that this update would bring meaningful features but alas, it'll probably be a letdown. Really want to like the DVP.
Also, no 8107 update yet on a TMO HD7 either.
No update on Europe Stock Unlocked DVP 8 Gb too...
The update will eventually come. Just be patient.
No problem for waiting. This minor update doesn't contain importang things, just little bug fixes, that I don't see at all...
Anyone have faith in their carrier requesting the update?
http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-cl...est-it/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
not that the disappearing keyboard is a serious issue?
Is there anyone willing / able to put together a .cab sender package to force us from 7720 to 7740 and then from 7740 to 8107? I don't have the confidence in myself when digging through the different updates and language packs. This would be a donation-worthy effort. Hopefully someone can bundle it together. If not, lets see how TMOUS plays this one.
I'm always hoping in tethering...
I update my DVP with Cabsender and official cabs to this update. Everything is ok, but this update don't good for my DVP.
I don't see any improvements, everything is work good without it. Only visible change is switching between 3G and Edge.
I use it 2 days and has 2 bugs with phone part. One time programs don't see mobile Internet, while "E" is showing and when i need to reboot.
Another time I can't recieve and dial calls and sms, but cellular signal strength showing full. Also need to reboot. Looks like a new RIL driver incompatible with old Dell radio firmware.
Of course I did backup of my last 7740 fw, and returned to it.
P.S.: Before this update I use my DVP more then one month wirh 7740 and don't see any problems with phone/RIL part and i think this is not mobile operator or SIM issues
7.10.8107 Update for DVP?
Has anyone got the 7.10.8107 Update for DVP without any hacks? Or is there any force update method like previous methods without the cabsender etc?
Still not even received the 7740. I know that operators can skip only 1 update as per MS and hence if they skipped 7740 which they did, they need to compulsorily provide the 8107 update. I have read there are a lot of fixes and hope they provide updates at the earliest.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the disable network while checking for updates hack in Zune just worked for me with the 8107 update. Unlocked DVP in Canada if that matters.
Updating right now.. will confirm if tethering is included but really now, not holding my breath.
EDIT: update nothing worth mentioning =( no tethering... only thing I can notice is the drop down selector for 3G and E.
Well, I guess AT&T users won't be getting this anytime soon. Not that it matters I guess, as long as the phone works.
tried the force update using disable network and does not work at my end. Still at 7720. Your phone is up to date.
Tried multiple times and after around 30 seconds get error 80072EFF any suggestions? I also tried Windows Phone Support Tool and says your phone cannot be restored.

Uhh, just a quick question - so all of you have unlocked DVPs and was able to successfully update your firmware using the Zune software?
I'm just asking because I also have an unlocked DVP and still no update - then again I'm on Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac...
Still no update on my DVP. Still at 7720. Force update method not working as stated in my earliest post

[Q] about tango - downgrade - unlock - upgrade

Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me as I haven't found an answer on the forum yet.
I've got a unbranded omnia 7 16gb updated to Tango and never unlocked. I can have a student dev unlock or interop unlock but I've read that the first is limited if done after Tango update, and the latter cannot be done after the update.
I would like to unlock to be able to install SMSbackup to export my sms and I don't understand if this is possible with a dev unlock applied on a tango updated device.
I've read many posts and I'm quite confused about why it is different if the dev unlock is done before or after the mango/tango update.
If it is not possible to use SMSbackup on a tango dev-unlocked phone should I downgrade restoring the zune backup?... but i would lose all the text messages that I got after that backup, is this correct?
Is there some other way to have the phone unlocked without losing the text messages?
Thank you in advance,
Iaia

the problem is, is with the tango update, the unlocked phone, without an official dev unlock get relocked (if you don't take precautions, search the forun),
is you have an official dev account there should be nu problem, you can then sideload WP7root tools, and install smsbackup, give it root and use it
I hope this answer is helpful

Thank you daddyrazzy! Looks like I've got one more problem.. I've registered and got a student account on dreamspark but when registering on app hub, is asking me credit card numbers even if I don't have to pay anything! This is really annoying!!
So I have no way to get those text messages out of this "smart"phone...
