You can play with 7389 too. No need for unlocking to play games. Just visit the MP and get what you want.

If you want to play some games, get a credit card, go into Xbox live on your phone and order a game like everyone else does.
If you want to try "home brew" games, then there is no way to roll back nodo right now...
Almost sounding like you want to hack a game, and that is a BIG no-no here...

Downgrading from NoDo
Hi,
You don't need to developer unlock your device if you want to play games (there are not homebrew games for now on WP7).
There is a solution to downgrade to 7004 rom, but it's for the advanced users. Doing this can brick your phone and avoid your warranty.
So, for advanced users who want to downgrade to be able to chevron unlock their Windows Phone, you need to download the initial ROM for your device (be careful to download the correct one if it's a branded device). These ROMs can be downloaded in the forum (posts writen by "ansar", different threads for each device).
After flashing it you lose all your personal data that is not synced with your Windows Live account.
Then, unlock the phone, and apply the xap that keep the phone unlocked (to not relock automatically).
Finally you can update your phone to NoDo with Zune.

You guys missed my point . I want to jailbreak it to play game without paying on marketplace . But after a couple of days using the phone I guess some free apps sastify me. And I think I will secure it to make sure it can get the Mango update. But just asking, is there anyway to jailbreak Nodo or downgrade the Nodo updated phone to build 7004 to jailbreak. Thanks

downgrade from nodo
Yes there is a way to do this.
Can you tell me if you have NoDo (7390) or the small security update deployed after NoDo (7392) ?
You can know this in the settings menu of your Trophy.
Because if you have NoDo (7390) you can downgrade to 70xx with Zune, in the update menu (restore).
But if you have updated to 7392 after NoDo, if you restore via Zune you will downgrade to the previous version (so NoDo 7390) where you can't unlock/jailbreak. The only way is to install a stock rom to get your phone like when you have bought him (7004). An user named Ansar have posted all the stock roms in this forum.

u use goldcard(up video)

It is quite frustrating that up to this moment, NoDo seems invincible to be jail-broken. I saw lots of work on IPhone jailbreaking but I don't know why this flame is missing on Windows Phone 7. Perhaps since it is still OS in development, devs are waiting until getting an almost complete version (maybe after Mango Update).

If you updated it yourself, you should have a pre-NoDo restore point. Plug your phone into your PC and Restore back.

Can I roll back to 7004? I currently have 7392

Yes you can roll back to 7004 from NoDo.
You have to download and flash the ROM corresponding to your phone (search for the rom in xda forum, in topics posted from Ansar.
Be careful, you will lose all your personal data (except contacts and calendar, synced with your Windows Live account).

[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.

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.

[Q] Dutch guy needs some help

Hello everybody,
Today I installed WP7 on my hd2 and it works great, but I don't know what I have to do now, I can't install apps etc because I haven't activated my phone yet. I've read everything here I think I have to unlock it with Chevron tool? But if I click on 'unlock' it gives an error.
And what do I have to do after that?
And can it give problems that I live in the Netherlands?
Sorry for my dumb questions but I hope someone can help me.

BTTF ROM is already unlocked but mango update mess up this, you must do hard reset to working ok or use unlock cab files... no need to use chevron

[Q] Keeping Interop Unlock with last update (post-KK2)

Hello,
After reading a lot of posts, I still can't figure out if the Interop Unlock is kept while updating to the latest updates. I tried to downgrade to an "unlockable" version, unlocked, made the unlock "permanent" (via Registry edit) then update, but this didn't work.
I used the WindowBreak unlock, achieve to use it with older version, but when I updated, it wasn't unlocked anymore.
Did I do something bad ? Or did I misunderstand everything ?
Thank you.

Interop Unlock with WindowBreak stay after the official update KK2 via Zune but if you do a Hard Reset you can't unlock more
Downgrade to 7740 with Back Up..... Unlock using WindowBreak and then Update manually version OS 8107 with CAB
You must also update all languages ​​pack on your Omnia 7
EDIT:This is in Official Post for Update Manually OS 8107 with CAB By Heathcliff74
"WARNING!! The new Samsung Onmia 7 KK2 update will prevent the use of Interop Unlock and WindowBreak! This Samsung Firmware update is accompanied with the 7.10.8107.79 if you update with Zune. Other Samsung devices are probably affected too, but I don't know if the update code for those device is KK2 too. If you are already unlocked, this update will not relock your device. If you want to keep the possibility of Interop Unlock open, then use the method described in this thread to update to 7.10.8107.79 without updating to Samsung KK2!"

no solution yet?
I just want to be sure that I'm not missing something... At this point in time there is no way around the fact that windowbreak does not work with the latest samsung update?
Roll back is the only option?

If you have received Samsung Update KK2 don't unlock Omnia 7 with WindowBreak
If you unlock before Update KK2 unlock stay
If you do a Hard Reset after Update KK2 can't unlock with WindowBreak
Roll back at the moment is the only option

Ok I rolled back. Realised that update doesnt do much important anyway.
Some of the homebew/bazaar apps still tell me my phone isnt fully unlocked though, like opera mobile.
What's the difference between interop and fully unlocked?

Sorry for stealing attention, but can anyone provide a link with instructions to how to roll back, or downgrade, manually, via magldr or somethink like that? Basically, that should be the same as putting a custom rom, right?
Also, all the links posted for previous firmwares are dead, is there a source where i could download a mint official 7740 or previous firmware? My Omnia has been bought in croatia. Should i only use the ROM for a specific region, or will any european rom do? I use my phone in english.
I can't do the zune roll back since i have to hard reset and change my liveID..
EDIT:
Is tis it? Is this how i flash an older firmware? If so, now I only need the ROM files..

So i do a restore via zune, and than hard reset and change liveID? That would work you think?
The reason I'm doing this is because croatia has been given access to marketplace and i need to change liveID, put the croatian one as the main one.

Yeah I suppose. If you change to a live a ID with croatia set as the location it should change your store to the croatian one.

I need to jailbreak my Trophy

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?
