I recently installed Onyx Ultimate 4.7 and everything went smoothely except I now cant connect to my carrier.
I'm on an HTC Elf and my carrier is Vodafone UK.
The status keeps changing from "No Service" to "Searching" to "Phone Off"
I'm quite a novice when it comes to this kinda thing so go easy on me.
Cheers in advance, Alex.

How do i upgrade the radio?!!!
Please check the elf-upgrading forum.
Thanks and Cheers.
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.
Gonna reuse this topic:
Phone works, but MMS doesn't. I just get the notification that I received an MMS, but it won't open, and I also can't send it
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.
Or read this

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.
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?

Fresh from the Windows Central forums, I present you the Lumia 820 Engineering ROM! http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-820/350899-[825]-engineering-recovery-ffu.html
Direct download is at: Http://mega.nz/#!k5xShaDK!YHr1p6a3yeH53jt3-58lbuCE4QiSH_rz9qfGeQK3HBg
Have fun!
*edit*
After finally digging into the FFU and checking things, this really IS a true engineering ROM and NOT a developer ROM.

Is it flashable on Retail Roms ?
and also you have same rom for lumia 920 RM-821?
This is Lumia 820's FFU not Lumia 825 which is even not existing.

Also in text he said Engineering Rom and in Tittle he said Developer !
as I remember Engineering Roms are much different as developer one
@ngame @djtonka sorry for all the confusion! you guys are correct. This is for RM-825 devices, which is a specific variant of the Lumia 820. I was on mobile yesterday when I saw it, and wanted to post if quickly in case it magically disappeared. I think you are also correct in saying that it is a "Developer" rom and not an "Engineering" ROM based on the name of the tar.gz file. I will analyze it today or tomorrow and post back.
Yes, It is a Developer ROM. (WP 8.0 GDR 1)
But not useful until it's "OEM DEVELOPER UNLOCK".
No MS Apps nor developer app's like diagnostic tools.
No special drivers/services. Very simple ROM
@djamol @ngame @djtonka
After digging into it some more, I can confirm this is a REAL Engineering ROM and not a Developer ROM like I thought earlier. Sorry for all the confusion!

OK if you could find RM-821 Engineering rom I want it .
I will download it and will see it but I want to know it how did you find it's a Eng rom not a Developer one .
but I will check it .
@compu829 Don't mind, if I'm wrong. It's pure dev rom. There is also mentioned that version "Developer5". And so why it is signed ffu. ? Engg. Roms are like a more custom ROM'S.
@ngame you will find out more info in "OEM Device Platform Info" package's.
I've one question, what is a use of this ROM if we don't have an OEM unlock or Interop Unlocked.?
How we can use this as a REAL DEV ROM ?
Edit: At least can enable Mass Storage Mode ?

I want to see differences between these roms .
specially registry differences .
Developer signed Roms are flashable .
maybe I have to flash my phone from w10 back to 8.1 in these days and surely I will first try a dev rom to see if anything more presents or not
If we can enable mass storage mode all the things will solved as I know
because system files are not running so technically replacement of all files are allowed . (but where there's no sign check)

Even though it says "Developer5" it is really an engineering ROM. That threw me off, too. When I started looking at the "Platform ID", I discovered that it is for an engineering-only device.
I've tried flashing engineering rom on my Lumia 820 using windows phone image designer. It failed to install because of some security errors. So, I used thor2, disabled security check and was successful in flashing the rom. After flashing the phone is not booting anymore. It just vibrates and that's it. Not even Nokia logo is shown. I tried connecting phone to PC. But my PC is not even detecting the phone (in any mode, like QHSUSB_DLOAD). So, it is dead. Is there any way to recover the phone?

Dont flash prototype firmware on retail device
Hi Guys,
I have read everywhere but I have found confusing messages. I am not sure if there is a way to unlock Bootloader for H870DS or root this phone. I can see the option of Enable OEM unlock in my developer settings. I am not sure if that makes any difference or not. Please apologize if this has been answered somewhere as I could not find much which is most recent.
Thanks

There is no option for unlock nor root. Given the phone is now old and updates are no longer supported, I think there is a hope that LG will provide the code to unlock them all. However, no word yet.
One thing for me is certain. I ain't buying an LG phone again, ever. Experience is just too poor.
Oh, I dont know why some ROM chefs are saying their ROM should work with this version. May be I read it wrong or something else was inferred. Anyways, this is terrible to hear that despite of so much sales and user demand, unlocking has not been provided.
