Hi all, I just bought a sim-locked T-Mobile US HTC HD2 and need some advice, should I unlock the phone first or should I flash android to it as it's running stock WM. Thanks
I would buy the unlock code first as the instructions will use win mo, but thats my only reason
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.
Hi guys
Im trying to understand the whole WP7 world as Im a newbie in this platform.
I have a HTC Trophy with Mango installed on it, and I need to jailbreak it so I can sideload free apps on it because the Market place is not available in my country yet
I can't find a clear tutorial or a clear guide on what I should do, and Im willing to provide any info on the phone. Just tell me what to do.
Thank you
Do you have a GSM Trophy, or a Verizon Trophy? I wrote a guide for doing it on Verizon Trophy.
I'm guna have to try and get a GSM Trophy to cross dev on. :/

First figure out what kind of bootrom you have and go from there
Most of the time it revolves around downgrading the bootrom
and unlocking the bootrom and after choosing a custom firmware

Hey TheXev.
I think I've read your guide and every other guide there is on switching ROMs, DEV unlock and Interop unlocks, but I'm still too nervous to do any of it.
My problem is this:
I NEED my SMS messages exported/backed up.
The only option for doing that, is to install the SMS Backup homebrew app.
I do not know if there is an option for unlocking my phone with which I do not run the risk of losing this valuable data in the process.
Is there?
Is there even an option for a full phone backup without fully unlocking the phone? ...so that I would have that phone backup to restore in case my data is indeed lost when I unlock the phone?
I bought this htc trophy from someone I didnt know at the time that its rooted. i would really like to unroot it since the marketplace wont work. please can some one tell me how. i know how to root and unroot an android but nothing about windows phones!
Hello, i just bought a verizon htc trophy and i live in Peru, does someone knows a website where i could unlock free?
also, i read when i flash the phone to a custom ROM the phone free it selfs?
To carrier unlock it, you can call Verizon and ask them to unlock the SIM for international travel, but no guarantees.
To developer unlock or full unlock (using either WP SDK for the first or the DFT HSPL tool) the Trophy you need to follow the various tutorials out there.

They have a number for peru.
0-800-50010
If that doesn't work, just use the live chat at VerizonWireless.com

To have the sim unlock you have to call verizon. There isn't any other way to unlock it unless you pick up an aftermarket sim, which I can't help you with. (I don't know, nor know if they are legal in the US.) They might be able to unlock it depending on how long the last owner had it on their plan.
Besides, its a good PDA. Flash the Norkser 8858 rom and follow the steps for CAB updates in the WP7 Development and Hacking forum.

That not quite how windows phones work. Flashing a different rom, only flashes the OS, not the stuff that directly interacts with the Hardware, e.g. the Radio driver. There is only three radios for the Verizon Trophy and they are all from Verizon, so there isn't much to do. The Radio is what controls the SIM locking, and no one has tried decompiling it, afaik. I'm afraid that you either have to contact the last owner or call verizon. Not much more I can do.
You can try and see if its been already unlocked by inserting your SIM, but chances are that it will prompt you for an unlock code. You can get that from various sites online and pay, or try Verizon for free.
