unlocking after nodo?

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!

Thanks. Do you have an idea of when or if they will ever make an update to unlock nodo
EDIT: sorry for all the questions, but can this unlock work on a windows xp computer?

Confirmed Unlocked

All you need is.... this
Install any of the two:
Samsung i917 Focus firmware UCJK2 AT&T USA
Samsung i917R Focus firmware UXJL2 ROGERS CANADA

That link and going back to pre-nodo 7004 worked great, thanks EnderPsp !!

[Q] Original ROM

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..

Can u guide me where can i get 7004 rom for my DVP ?
Thanks

Any one have a flash tool for this device??
Thanks

I haven't even seen a start for a flash tool honestly

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

How do you make a backup?

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.

i also would like to have the option of a nodo rom to unlock and to pass it over to newer os versions but unfortunality my phone (europe dvp version) had already nodo on it

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.

So, how do I return to my original ROM which will unlock? Thnx

Um... As of now you can't. But there is an official chevron unlock that is on the horizon that will cost $9 and will dev unlock any os version

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.

Is it a prepaid phone or ya got it on plan? I'm sure if it's on plan you can unlock it free yourself. I unlocked mine last night. Just follow the instruction on your mobile carriers website.

Take some time to read through these forums. Also look at phandroid. Both are great communities to help you unlock the potential of the DHD.

Completely explains how to unlock, well at least it did for me (T-Mobile UK) you have to strictly follow the requirements needed though, otherwise you will damage your phone.
(sorry if any of this has already been posted, and thanks to 'jkoljo' for the guide)

Dude, did you try the tool that you maybe used to root it? Try the sim unlock option on there too. Worked for me. Orange uk. Try root tools search for site.

That means you need to downgrade to 1.32 before you can do anything.
Check out the downgrade thread in the Dev Section.

its not rooted so no.
I dont know what rooted is thats why I took it to a shop to get unocked so I'm guessing no one knows the anwser

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.

thanks, im new to this so this has really helped me.

[Q] need chevron after mango installation

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 )

how "safe" is unlocking key for bootloader

Hello there,
i hope i am in the correct section. I have purchased a Nokia 6.1 (TA-1050) and i would like to install Lineage OS to use Google/FB as less as possible. If there is a more secute OS, please let me know.
I know about hikaricalyx and techmesto, that i can purchase there a key to unlock my bootlooader. Are those two websites safe to use? I dont know what they do with my IMEI and my serialnumber. Second, can i be sure that they dont install some third party tools in my smartphone while the unlocking process?
This is still quite new for me, sorry if i ask something already asked.
Greetings.

Sadly it didnt work. But i have no problem to pay 5-10 € to buy this bootloader unlock. MY main "probleme" is, how safe to use they are. Can i be sure, that they dont install some third party software in my smartphone?
Thanks, Greetings.

Um paying would be fine, if it is a trusted source.
Look for sources which many people have vouched for it.
I wouldnt buy it but in your case there seems like no choice.

I got my bootloader unlock from hikaricalyx and its very safe and takes only few minutes to unlock the bootloader. If you are aware regarding how to unlock the bootloader then you can only apply for bootloader unlock on your own during which you will be given a command prompt tool which you need to download and run on your pc with your phone connected. This tool will then produce some numbers which you need to provide hikaricalyx and in return he will then inform you the bootloader unlock key which you need to again input in tht tool.
He will not ask for your imei number.

Hello.
I have unlocked my Nokia and installed LineageOS. I used the service from hikaricalyx and it was very easy. I got a lot of help and he was very kind. Even if my phone was unlocked and had some trouble to install LineageOS he helped me. I dont think, that the files we used to unlock my phone was corrupted.
For everyone who wants the files: These are useless for you. Every time you boot your phone, it will generate a random singature. We read this ramdom hash and he signed the unlockfiles with that hash. IF you want to install LineageOS like me, on your Nokia 6 these ~5$ are worth it.
Thank all of you who replied.
I am done with this thread, but i let it open for someone who have simular questions. Sone mod can close it if he want.
