Hello,
Sorry if this is stickied/posted or doesn't belong here but I can't find anything. I just recently flashed a Windows 7.5 rom on a HTC HD2 that's locked to T-Mobile, so I purchased an unlock code to try and use it on At&t but it doesn't work. I added the APN settings and nothing. Is it not possible to unlock? Does it need to be unlocked in Windows 6.5 stock state?
Rom Installed: [v4 Final Version] CTRLPDA FSM HD2 Mango ROM [03.01.2012]
FYI - Unlocked Sim Pin was also accepted but it still says no network found.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
carrier unlock can be done only in WM6.5 by unlock code

I wish to confirm this.
My friend tried to unlock with windows phone 7.5, but it would not take. It showed 'unlocked', but it did not unlock.
Went back to wm6.5 and it was OK. Then reinstalled 7.5 and it remained unlocked.
It was a lot of work really because a lot of time was put into the project in the end - trying to figure what was wrong with 7.5 then going back to 6.5 and loosing all the settings etc. So be warned!!!

settings from apps and games you can backup and restore with Windows Phone Device Manager v1.7.0.0 (unfortunately not work with public v1.8.0.0)
edit: new WPDM v1.9.0.0 working very fine
Thanks for helping out guys.
Another thing...can anyone confirm whether a custom 6.5 rom will work? I previously had an Energy rom and was wondering if it could have been done then?

Personally I am happy with SPB Mobile Shell 3. The I am not interested in another WinMo version until 7, which will need another phone.
GPS performans with WM6.5
Flashed with Tommy34's ROM with WM6.5.
Very happy that my GPS fixing -boring- delay is fully resolved.
I almost believed in my Device have had a hardware defect, then realized it is none..
I have got one single trouble that SKYPE WinMobile v2.5 can not be installed..
I will try v3.0 Beta ASAP I am able to download..
***Edited***
Beta v3.0 works out..

I have not been able to flash my phone.
I am using Vista and when I try and flash the rom on the phone, I get:
Vista has found new hardware (I think it was a CDMA Driver)
I've flashed WM6.5 (can't remember which version I used), and I thought all was going well, until I tried to sim unlock it. The phone is 2 months old, with Orange branding, and had the horrible Orange Unique Manager, which is why I wanted to flash the phone, and I assumed the phone was simlocked. After I flashed it, I bought a Sim Unlock Code, but when I put a 3 sim card in, I didn't get the expected "Enter SIM Unlock Code" prompt. Instead I just get "No Service" displayed on the home screen with the exclaimation mark at the top where the signal strength is displayed. I've also tried with an (active contract) T-mob Sim, and a Tesco Mob Sim. Same thing, I don't get the prompt to be able put the unlock code in.
I can't help thinking it's because I've flashed the phone, it seems like there's something preventing the Enter SIM Unlock Code dialog from coming up. Is there anyone else with this problem, or a solution? What ROMs are people using that they have sucessfully SIM unlocked their phones with?
Thank you!
So does it still work with an Orange Sim?
I have flashed my Orange UK Jade with various flavours of WM6.5, all with good results, currently using a version cooked by PDAVIET, with no issues.
Guys, is it possible to flash to Windows 6.5 then flash again to 6.1 if all doesn't go well?
just wondering but are PDAVIET, Ironeagle and Tommy34s version of wm 6.5 all have 8gb micro sd support. And also which would you recommend as the best.
I flash 6.5 German and ist is working grate.
I used
Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Installed
2DManila_1_20_19131530_00
And MUI 407 files from erviuskitchen german kittchen.
And installed only th programms that i need.
Only i need Thai caracters in sms. It is not possible to change the thaom font to a full wich Asiatic caracters. installed msss.tff and change all to it, but manila sms does not take care about font change in sms/messages...
I tryed to coock a rom usin erviuskitchen german kittchen wich only changing tahoma font. but all roms i cooked with it are getting instable after 2 dayes. My favorite navigation system wich german and Asien maps does not start afer 3 times anymore.
Si i stick nearly fully satisfyed with the Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Hi,
I got my HTC since 2 mounth, and i really want to test WM6.5, but i must say that i'm a little afraid about flashing my phone.
I've read the "flash for n00bs" post, and it seems that there is a way to "flash-back" your phone to a factory version, am I right...?
By the way, if i want to use my waranty, can i "flash-back" my phone ?
Sorry for my bad english, thanks guys !

Hello,
I am from Brazil and bought my Touch 3G about two months ago. It came with WM 6.1.
Last week I successfully applied the "Hard SPL 2.33 by Olinex" and then Flashed it with "Touch3G__WM6.5__2_33_721_17__B23033_WWE" ROM from PDVIANET.
Everything is running fine. The only comment is that we really need to disabled the 3G (H) network and run just with Edge (E) in order to save some battery. Other than that I recommend everybody to upgrade to WM 6.5

Are you trying to put the sim unlock code in on windows phone 7?
I tried this and wouldnt work.
Flash back to windows mobile 6.5 and try again that worked for me.

First of all, it's Windows Phone 7 (WP7). Secondly, yes you can go back to WM6.5 if you have a WM6.5 ROM or the stock ROM. Third, there is no program to unlock your phone. It's a code you get from your service provider. Also, your phone doesn't have to be unlocked to flash.
Follow the links in my signature to learn how flash and what you need to learn. Flashing is not for the timid....you do something incorrectly and you can brick your phone! Fair warning.
I know all about flashing for 6.5 cause i've done it probably 20 times. I just was not sure if it is different for 7. I am new to WP7 so that is what i am asking about. Thank you

Yes the process is different with a new flash utility on the front-end called MAGDLR. Follow the thread in my signature for how to install WP7. I would suggest you still use task29 like you did in the WM6.5 world.
I have just switched over from iPhone to the new HTC Trophy on verizon, and i want to unlock it so i can get homebrew apps and what not. The phone model is HTC mwp6985 and the WP7 OS versions is 7.0.7389... i want to take it to 7004 - 7008 so i can just unlock it with chevron or if there is an easier way please let me know and leave tutorials i am new with windows phone. i have been with apple for the longest time. Links to please. thanks in advanced
Please reply i have been trying to do this for so long now

I was just reading that this is not possible on the Verizon Trophy. The version you are on is the earliest version that works on CDMA phones.
I think Tripping James is correct, as far as I'm aware you can't downgrade it properly yet. Some have tried using the "Release (Team name)" versions for your phone, but they are incomplete and end up bricking the phone.
Your best bet is to wait for DFT team to release a new HSPL or RSPL so that it can work on your phone allowing you to flash a firmware from any other region or wait for a verizon rom to some how magically turn up.
Check out the thread on HSPL by DFT or PM ansar and see if there is anything you can do to help speed up the process of building a custom rom.
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

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.
