Hi
Do I still need Chevron to unlock the device after installing Mango?
Because when i start chevron is shows that it is already been unlocked (because the button says relock!), so i'm kind of confused?

Why are you confused?
Most up-to-date custom roms are all pre-unlocked. Just read the first post of the topic (reading helps )

Neither installing HardSPL or flashing a Rom will sim unlock your device. The only way you can do that is to buy an unlock code from your provider or from an online site.

Love ur work mark.

i would like to know since i will be using this in asia by june, has anyone been successful in getting unlock codes from ATT directly? or via unlocking websites and if via website which ones actually work?
Reportedly, first date that AT&T will give unlock codes is May 9th.
also you can try unlock it trought fastgsm
I've unlocked mine by FastGsm... all OK!
Thank you for the quick response,i did comeacross fastgsm last night researching about how to unlock the focus
Sent from my LG-P509 using XDA App
I've used this company for unlocking a Focus and Captivate succussfully.
www.cellunlocker.net
For the Focus you will still have MMS issues unless it's Developer Unlocked and you can use necessary tools to change the MMS settings.
people still use mms? hehehe is it only for the focus or for all WP7 devices?
I think just the Focus...
So I will be getting my slightly used samsung focus locked to AT&T on May 4th. Do you guys suggest that I wait for the rumored unlock codes from AT&T on May 9th, and will it be free and available to all users in the first place? Also the phone doesnt not have the NoDo update yet and am planning to buy one of the sandisk class 4 sd cards. So which will be the right order with respect to unlocking, sd card installation and NoDo updating? thanks

Hi thanks for your help. I just took a look at the "prevent relocking" page and its quite a long thread with many "strange language" am not used to! It says requirements include "Dev Unlocked Samsung Phone and XAP Installer". Am a newbie so if someone could simplify this to me and possibly provide me with a download link for the requirements. thanks

That's what I've tried to spared you, a long read, for the relock part.
Basically, from zero, you need to unlock with Chevron first. This is no easy task and unfortunately you do have to read all about it in the original thread.
Then, after unlock, go to the thread I mentioned and from the 1st post download SamsungTools.zip and deploy SamsungTools.xap to the phone. it and after that check in Chevron if it's still unlocked. If not, unlock again, and Zune should no longer re-lock the phone, and you can safely update to NoDo.
If he only cares about SIM unlock, the |Cheron Dev unlock is unnecessary, overkill and unrelated.

Agreed with you that the request was not very clear and a bit offtopic but I assumed it's about Chevron unlock and not SIM unlock because of

I don't see how that could be interpreted as SIM unlock. Unlock has double meaning (developer/network) across WP7 forums and that might be confusing for many.

Sorry guys for the confusion-was actually talking about sim unlock. I thought the thread was about sim unlock so I didnt bother to be specific. I was just worried because I had read elsewhere that some people got their sim relocked to at&t after the NoDo update thats why I wanted to know what to do right! So I guess I don't have to bother about the relocking stuff anymore right? And just to confirm; the order is install sd card, unlock sim, and install NoDo right? Am so excited...my phone will be arriving on Monday!!
Personally I would do the sim unlock last. That way the last step is unlock and you don't need to worry about possible re-locking during No-Do. I would actually install No-Do first, then install SD card since No-do seems to help with compatibility issues, and then if the SD card is stable, sim unlock the phone.

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.

Sounds like your phones locked its self again, re run chevron and unlock it, or download the newer NoDo release from XBMOD

Haha yeah I figures that out this morning , so I hard resetted my phone and ran Chevron , worked perfectly and I did the necessary to prevent it from relocking .. Anyway I wanted to ask about the NoDo whether its worth flashing it or not .. What do you think ?

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

Can't tell by your signature where you are located but if you are in America, you can contact T-Mobile online, give them the IMEI number to your phone, then they will send you in a couple of days, the instructions and unlock code for your phone.

Get unlock code from provider or buy one online.
Sent from my HD2
Easy!
No need any unlock code! just hack your HSPL, and flash a new radio, your phone will automatically unlock!
Android is not native to HD2 so I'm sure it is ALREADY unlocked

You're both incorrect here, unlocking usually refers to a sim unlock, therefore flashing a new ROM will have no effect on unlocking the phone. As the people above you said, you have to buy an unlock code, input the new sim then enter the unlock code (or something along those lines, haven't done it before).
Also, why bother reopening an old, solved thread simply to post an answer to a question which has already been answered? If you're trying to get 10 posts, do it on the newer threads, not the ones from early 2011.
Hi all,

It will retain developer unlock if done correctly. Interop-unlock will have to be applied separately.
