Updated WP7 to 7.0.7390.0 using above method as my carrier is taking too long to push on O2 UK.
Chevron developer unlock remains intact! Can still load custom apps/games and sideload them.
From what I've read around on xda
If you reset your phone, user settings/apps are wiped and 7390 update still remains but you lose unlock. As 7390 is already installed, you can't chevron dev unlock again.
So I'd make sure first you have a stock ROM OS version 7004 for your phone/carrier to reflash in case you ever need to reset for some reason. Then you can repeat steps in above link to 7390 without losing unlock.
Also good idea to use prevent relock process below before updating to 7390.
