Microsoft confirmed that phones updated using "unofficial mechanisms" cannot get the latest update

Microsoft have confirmed that if you have updated your Windows Phone 7 devices unofficially, then you will not be able to get the latest update from Microsoft. The "latest update" that the Redmond company is talking about is the update that will be coming after the "NoDo" update. They are actually referring to devices that were updated using the ChevronWP7 tool.

So for you to get the next update after NoDo then upgrade your phone via the official mechanism and that's Zune. You might want to read what the Windows Phone Blog have to say with regards to this concern by heading over to their blog site. To add more problems...

"More worrying, Microsoft’s Brandon Watson says that, since the development team is focussing on getting Mango out on time, “undoing this specific problem was not in our schedule.” Instead, it’s a case of waiting for the ChevronWP7 team to release a fix which will get modified handsets back on the official Windows Phone path – something they are supposedly working on – or taking your phone back to the carrier or vendor and asking them to reflash it." - SlashGear

So it's always better to stick to what is official than get a head and get stuck to a version of the platform since the update was done illegally.
