If you are still waiting for the NoDo (or even pre-nodo) update notification here’s your last chance to get (just kidding). C.Walshie has just released a small ChevronWP7.Updater tool based on the recently released patches that will enable any phone to get the update without any hacks or anything else. Just download the following files:

x86 Operating System (32 bit) x64 Operating System (64 bit)
Windows Phone Support Tools Windows Phone Support Tools
ChevronWP7.Updater ChevronWP7.Updater

Install the Windows phone support patch, unzip the chevron toll and plug-in your device. All you have to do then is to run the tool and follow the prompts. But one thing you’ll have to keep in mind is that there’s no going back because there’s no back-up involved in this process at all.

UPDATE: The ChevronWP7.Updater files have been taken down… so just head over here and try the previous trick to get your WP7 device up-to-date
