New Life for an old friend

Just when I thought it was time to move on to the Titan, along comes Yuki/XBMOD/DFT/etc. and breathe new life into my HD2.

Everyone who reads this,

follow the instructions to the letter

. If you do that, then install is a breeze. Took about 2 hours (because of upgrade from 7403 to 7712), but never a hitch. I also got lazy/stupid/careless because I did not do a backup. Somehow I figured if I wanted a clean Mango, might as well get rid of all the old garbage.

Don't get me wrong. The normal HD2 issues (volume, focus, MAC, touch) are still there. I don't expect those to ever get fixed. But they are a small price to pay for being able to run anything and everything on this phone (seems silly to call it a phone; it does so much more).

So I will enjoy this old friend another 6 months and then see what happens. Hmm:rolleyes: will it run Tango?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] RCOO:
Run Tango? I'm pretty sure it will.

Will there be someone here, willing to make the port and proper development? I don't know.

Hi,

My german HD2 with 16GB Class 2 Card always freezed after the first reboot of Phone7 (as described a couple of times here).

Now I bought a class 4 Sandisk 16 GB card and I have the same issue. I really follow the guide.

Format SD card in WIN7 with FAT32

Use Task29

Install 6.5 rom and restart

Format SD Card in HD2

Install radio 2.15 and restart

flash HD2-First-splash and restart

flash DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF and restart

use 24 and clean MBR and change to USB Flash mode

Flash HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2_native

First start and select English (=initial choice) as language and set time.

Everything is fine so far. SD Card recognized, performance is nice.

As soon as I restart the phone it will freeze in the home screen!

I tryed a lot of things (as mentioned on page 6) but nothing works.

Whats wrong? Originally it is a T.Mobile german HD2

Hope somebody can give me a hint.

Forgot, on the startpage of flashing I have the following data:

SPL-2.8.HSPL 8G XE

0x05

CotullaHSPL 0x50

And the clustersize when formatting the sd card is 32kb

I have EASEUS Partition Master, i typically use this for most formatting jobs, its a complicated tool, but i havent tried it on this yet, to format or recover, but try it anyway and provide feedback.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] a011528:
you are not following the instructions!!

With your phone powered off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons at the same time *these are located on the side of the device*.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] a011528:
agreed with the other feedback, not all SD cards work, try removing the card and perform a reset... or try another card

Bought an 8GB sandisk ckass4 and now works great from the begining.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] magdan83:
Have you installed *.cer on the phone after finishing update?

I did and i can sideload apps, but can not use advanced config tool or regedit.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] knacko:
Hi,

now I tryed the following cards:

2GB Sandisk MicroSD

8GB Sandisk MicroSD HC Class 2

16GB Sandisk MicroSD HC Class 4

16GB Toshiba (not sure) MicroSD HC Class 2

all 4 are not working, all are freezing after first reboot of Phone7.

Okay, the type of card could have some influence but 4 different cards and not one is working?

On the 16GB Toshiba I was using Phone7 BlackSeven and worked fine.

best regards

Could not resist

Finally I could not resist and went further to 7720 :D

REALLY GREAT guide ! Everything went smooth, with a couple of hard resets...

- 7712 took several hours to install ; I just launched the update and went to bed - in the morning everything was there

- did a Hard reset, just in case

- proceeded to 7720 ; install took about 20 minutes

- Hard reset again (phone got stuck at restart, unplugged, hard reset and done)

- ignored the error message from WP7 update CAB sender when I unplugged the phone

... but WAIT... OK it's 7720, but....

In the Apps hub, you SHOULD have letters to quick find an app (like in the People hub) !!!

You can Search for an App, but THERE SHOULD BE A QUICK FIND THERE

I have Mango on my LG E900 and I can tell you it's there.

Where is it ??? would XBMod have forgotten to update some cab ?

UPDATE

Found this on http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/07/08/mango.wp7.updates.detailed.by.microsoft/ :

The alphabetical headers that separate the apps won't be seen

unless there are at least 45 apps installed

, however, to make the screen more visually appealing.

OK then, I need more apps :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] forbidth:
OK guy,

finally i got mango already,

but still have some problem, my hd2 can't vibrate.

anyone have ideas?

thank in advance
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] BIA:
hej

I have two questions...

1) After I have installed the cab files, how do I know that it has been installed (even thogh the cab sender and the phone say that the update is successful )?

2) I have touchXplorer and when I am inside the program I can only see the files on the phone, I dont see the files on SD card. How can I be able to see these.

Thanks

I have been trying to install WP7 on my hd2 since yesterday afternoon. I have been running Android on it from the second day I got it and loved it, however I fancied a change!.

Yesterday it all booted up fine into WP7 and seemed very responsive however I could not get further than the setting up Zune bit. It would try to install updates but would fail at #6-7. I tried a few times but still no look. Then I thought I'd got it figured that it was because the time and date was wrong even though I set it to the same time as my laptop. I tried and tried and tried until I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and went to bed!. I got up this morning and started trying again. I changed the time and date and the region settings from America to United Kingdom and everytime I clicked to accept update it would restart the phone and would be back to 1981 and American!.

So I thought, right start again from scratch and did a Task 29 and then started the whole process over again. Now I everytime I flash Magdlr it reboots into Magdlr but says ss SD Kernel open Failed.

Anyone have any ideas on what I have done wrong??

I have used 3 different memory cards in case that was the problem but still the same results. Now I have two memory cards that I cannot use for anything else as they have been locked to WP7. I tried putting them into a nokia phone but it just asks me for a Password.

Anyone any ideas??.

Thanks Scott.

I updated to 7720. But when i Start HD2 then it clear everything i installed ( like hart reset). Could you help me
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Improve:
Unfortunately, it appears that the SD card is the source of many peoples problems after flashing the ROM and attempting to update. I succefully flashed the ROM after following all the prior instructions I used 2 different PNY 16GB class 4 SDs that have been lost to WP7. They both properly took the flash and under SETTINGS and ABOUT displayed the proper SD storage size, yet after a reboot the card is unreadable. Or if I begin the zune update (after a SOLID ROM flash) and reboot WP7 never starts again to coninue update. The update never moves pass " Step 1 of 2 : Restarting your phone...

The only way I was able to update was without SD , I made it all the way to update (7392) and it wouldent update pass that. Zune claimed it was up to date(yes I updated Zune software). I held down both volume up + down at MAGLDR gogogo to reset HD2 to factory settings, and replace SD, I tested other SDs and still NOGO.

I think I need a sanDisk class 4. Many have said not all SD cards work. I have run out of options at this point. Any advice appreciated.

Edit: just bought a SanDisk 16G class4 let's give this a go again...

OK, I'm on strike two! One more day and I'm out! Been trying to update my phone since yesterday @ around 9 pm. Took so long due to errors, freezes, and restarts I ended up going to bed at 3 am. Tried again today at 5 pm and its now almost 230 AM and not even close to getting things working so I've decided to start all over tomorrow. Constant errors here and there coupled with constant bootloops with freezes scattered all over the place. Playing musical chairs with my SD cards like in here out there this one and that one. Tired. Put my sim card in my trusty Blue Angel to use as my phone @ work for tomorrow and come back and try one last time after work. If it doesn't go alright then its back to 6.5 and Android until there is a better and easier way to get WP7 on my phone!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] xboxmod:
Hi

Nice story pharmeceutikle :p

[COLOR="Red"]
-1st it's recommended to flash an old rom wm 6.5 and let it boot entirely
-Format your SD card too
-Flash magldr 1.13
-Enable 24MB extra memory in Magldr services
-Delete MBR of SDcard in Magldr services
-Flash the rom with DWI

troubleshooting:

Do hard reset after all update if you have freeze or any problem
(When Magldr show WPH LOAD 12345 GO GO GO Press Vol+ & Vol- then after the new screen press VOL- twice.)
NOT all SD Cards are compatible with WP7.
If your card isn't compatible with WP7, it won't be used for data storage &
it may cause random reboots,freeze & update error.
It very recommended to use SDHC 2Go minimum.
Use a good quality SDcard for best performance .[/COLOR]
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
don't use an sd card at all until you go to 7712 then put an sd card in your phone and do a hard reset. After the hard reset reboot your phone two times if the phone doesn't give you any storage errors proceed to update to 7712 if that works finish with 7720. Once you are at 7720 you can reclaim all your sd cards with the sd unlock cab.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Improve:
I'll give this a go if I run into anymore issues with the standard instructions, I was unaware of the app to reclaim your SD in WP7 thanks for the info.

I purchased an SanDisk 16GB class 4 SD (changed from a PNY 16GB class 4). I successfully updated all the way to (7392) update but now I have the same problem as the poster quoted bellow...

I followed thees steps, along with the original instruction on post 1.

This was posted here by another person.

/[Code:

-1st it's recommended to flash an old rom wm 6.5 and let it boot entirely

-Format your SD card too

-Flash magldr 1.13

-Enable 24MB extra memory in Magldr services

-Delete MBR of SDcard in Magldr services

-Flash the rom with DWI

]/

So I have made it this far but am now stuck on update (7392). Any solutions or advice would be appreciated.

The way I see it I can continue on with installing the Update Cab etc and try to update to the final mango update that way, or I can restore and try to re-update that way? What do you guys think?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
7392 is where a lot of native WP7 users are at, waiting for official mango update.

Until that time people can use update cab etc to get almost ripe Mango on their phones.

Your choice;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Improve:
Really... Well on instruction #9 this is what is posted:

9. As administrator Run DWI.exe follow the instructions and flash the rom.

• Once WP7 has been flashed (7004) it is important that you go set the Time and Date to match the Time and Date on your PC, otherwise Zune will not update. You do Not need to Sign into Windows Live or Activate the device at this point, not until you have flashed 7720 it makes no difference if you activate now you will only need to do it again later.

• Start the Zune and it should Detect your HD2

• In Zune go to settings / Phone and check for updates updates, once Zune finds the update, press ok and update now.

• This will be the (7392) update and your phone will automatically restart show you progress and eventually show successful.

• Once completed Zune will check for another updates and find another update this is the move to (7403). Press Update Now and once successfully completed you will be on 7403 this is NODO.

I am trying to complete the final bullet before I try to install update cab. What am I missing?

EDIT:

Correction there I see where the confusion is. Step #9 is incorrect regarding its last bullet. ON the [ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7720 ready] [28/08] forum page one post 2 is clearly states the following.

----How to Update: ----

-1st it's recommended to flash an old rom wm 6.5 and let it boot entirely

-Format your SD card too

-Flash HD2-First-splash

-Flash magldr 1.13

-Enable 24MB extra memory in Magldr services

-Delete MBR of SDcard in Magldr services

-Flash the rom with DWI & Set a correct time & date.

-Install the lastest version of zune client.

- Run the zune update process like a real WP7 device & install build 7008,7392.

- Wait for futur official updates or continue updating using these ways behind.

__________________________________________________ _____________________________________________

----Build 7403:---- 6mn to install

- Download this package HD2-7720fix.rar.

- If needed install updatewp from the folder "update tool". (choose the version you need between x86 or x64)

- Download and decompress WP7 Update Cab Sender.zip in a folder, it will be your tool to send all custom packages, backup and restore.

- Download DeviceProvisioning.cab and put it in this folder.

- Launch WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat and choose S to send this package to device. (or B if you want a backup the same time)

- The device will apply this update after this process you are ready to go to 7403.

- Launch zune and search for an update, build 7403 will now be found and installed.

So this is how you get to 7403 and of course go on to mango. Hope this helps those that might also have been confused.

make sure the cab is copied to the folder "WP7 update cab sender" sitting next to WP7 update cab sender.bat and the tools and log files.

copy it there so you can delete it next time and still have a copy somewhere else.

If that don't work I will try harder to remember what else I did;)

EDIT: Also try double clicking on the .bat file to run. I always run into trial and error/luck when I run .bat file in Admin mode. Just try double clicking and running it as usual. I have installed many cabs now this way with no issues. Hope this helps.
