[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] katiepea:
after 2 days of trying to solve the issue of not being able to get past build 7392, i finally decided to just virtualize windows 7 on my mac, (i'm out of town, bored, and extremely limited in resources thus making this more difficult, but that's my issue personally) so i spent a lot of time trying to force the mango update, until i realized i needed to send the provisioning cab before zune would let it update. getting wp7 update cab sender utility to work stumped me for over a day.i tried it every way possible, until i realized that the error really just seemed to be a file location error, so i thought i'd try to move the cab sender directory/tools to the root of C:\ to see if it was looking for SDK tools, well that did it, it worked flawlessly after that. maybe that should be in the OP, if it is i really didn't see it. and at this point i'm tired of reading over instructions. end of the day tho: worth it, this is a great thread and a great ROM, OP should probably be updated with a few new things though to prevent this type of error, it could be that i was getting this error due to virtualization (some of the file structuring seems wonky) but i see a myriad of threads with almost no solutions for it around here. and the provision cab should be in the steps as a MUST to update directly from the zune app, as you can't get past 7392 without doing it. but i'm all up to date now, registered and loving the ROM. thanks to all who contributed their time for this
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] smileybri:
First, thank you! This thread was a great help putting all the steps together in one place and I now have WP7 on my HD2. Fantastic!

I got this far and thought that I would let Zune take me the rest of the way to MANGO but I later learned that won't happen without the "DeviceProvisioning.cab" you discuss in the later post. I wonder if I am not understanding something or if step 10 should be revised? It could just be me, but no updates were available via Zune past 7392 without this DeviceProvisioning.cab?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] smileybri:
Please don't take my edit suggestion as a critique, I assume that an adjustment was possible due to MANGO being more official and available. This is an AWESOME GUIDE! I just went through it for my second time. (I hosed my WP7 install with a premature XAP cab install. I think there was a missing prerequisite.)

DeviceProvisioning.cab

I'm having a hard time tracking the DeviceProvisioning.cab down, can anyone point me in the right direction?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] smileybri:
DeviceProvisioning.cab

I must admit that I had trouble finding this myself.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] daniel_kiefer:
I found that I didn't need it. I just used the 7004-7403, 7403-7720, and the 7720-7740, worked like a charm.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jjjhackkk:
hi,

i just finished one of the updates of my hd2 which is now 7.0.7392.0.

my question would be, how do i get the windows live working and the marketplace? after completing the stage of updating to mango, will it be unlocked?

thanks.

SIM unlock

Hello and thank you for everithing.

Does a tip exist to sim unlock my HD2 by staying under WP 7.5?

i'm on the 7720 version with xbmod/yuki SP1 and i don't want the restart all the process from WM 6.5.

Thanks for your help.

Great guide - let me see if it helps me pass first reboot without freezing... No luck so far.

On section "SDCard and Unlocking them", you can add Sony Ericsson VIVAZ

Did it seveal times without problem
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] goody_23:
hi guys can you help i get the htc splash screen it does nothing else but reboots again...it now tells me there is a storage error that i need to use the card that came with the phone..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] RCOO:
Ok guys. I've got Mango, in Portuguese, rocking on my HD2.

However, I can't get an activation key, at least, until Tuesday, since it's the time Microsoft Portugal will be working (i don't know why they don't answer people on Monday). So the device is not activated. I don't even have configured an Hotmail account.

At the moment, there is not much I can do.

Can I install any apps, at all? Can I use chevron unlock? What should I do, if I can perform these last two actions?

Thanks

Help in "Update Cab Sender"

Thanks for the great guide.

I have a problem going from build 7392 to 7712. The cab sender is not giving me the option to enter "S". I am getting the below output. I am exactly following the guide and I tried it several times, I even deleted and re-downloaded the files (7720 fix, Update Cab Sender, and Device positioning) 3 times in case there was a problem downloading them, but I am always reaching the below output.

Appreciate anybody's help. I serached this thread as well as the original ROM thread and couldnt find an answer.

it seems i'm stuck at the 7712 update

no mather what i do , my phone refuses to install the update

in zune evrything goed ok till step 6 ... zune doenst auto restart my phone, i need to do it myself

then zune goes to step 7, but after a couple of secondes my phone reboots again, and zune tries to install a saved build (wich fails too)

so now i'm at v7403 and i cant get passed it

any advice?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
I never rolled back to WM 6.5 from Yuki's last root'ed NoDo ROM and everything worked just fine so I'm really not sure why that is needed. I also didn't reinstall magldr as I already had 1.13 installed.

Second, I updated mine (TMOUS HD2) through 7403 with NO SD card installed then did a hard reset and installed a 4gb SanDisk class 4 card after powerdown for the reboot then continued to install 7712/7720 (will fail if no SD card is installed due to lack of free space for 7712). I did try an old 4gb Adata class 6 card with no luck first.

I do have a question though, if I boot from an Android SD ROM to do a SIM unlock that would work fine right? I had put off spending cash to unlock cuz I figured once at&t buys t-mobile I wouldn't have to worry about it, but now that looks less like it will happen.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
Had the same thing happen to me. First, it will take a LONG time to restart your phone. Second if after a long wait your phone still won't do what it should it's probably your sd card when I had problems it was with a cheap Adata Class 6 card and/or with no sd card installed, so I would try using a different card. I had better luck with a SanDisk Class 4 card.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jhonny:
you dont have to wait till tuesday to activate.

Help.

Hi. Im trying to install the build update 7403 for WP7 and I cant send the buildprovision.cab file. The batch file keeps saying an error of no update files...

Any help is appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jersy:
the sd card is seen in wp7

+ it worked with v1, i was on 7720 with that card

now i tried to go to v2 but nothing works

even with sending the update cabs one by one i get a problem now (7403 to 7661), it give 8018004d error (no applicable updates found)

now my phone is on 7403

seems that this files doenst want to run : diff-7.0.7403.0-7.10.7661.8-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_45ce94c5ec6a79b0cc53aa14715e88d29f3aa3d8.cab

the 2 other files goes fine
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] stevemilw:
Re-download the cab file, its basically saying it cant find it. Make sure its in the same folder, i had the same problem with a corrupt one.

Are you sure youve followed the guide prperly???

This should enable you to get to 7712
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] RD274:
I think this should also be added-

You will have to flash a stock windows mobile 6.5 rom (for eg. this one from the Tmobile site for the Tmobile HD2), enter the code as soon as the phone boots and then the phone will unlock. Once thats done, you can upgrade to this rom.

If you try entering your unlock code with this XBmod-Yuki ROM, it will come code accepted but the SIM will still remain locked.

Source: Myself. Just unlocked my Tmobile HD2 on the Tmobile 6.5 rom and I'm now proceeding to install everything all over again :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jersy:
wow no id how, but i'm on version 7720 now :)

only thing i did different was send update 7008 through cab file and the rest through zune

installing language packs and then were good to go :)

one last (stupid) question :

the battery trick, opening the camcorder, set it to video en let it focus

how do u exit it : home button or back button (or is it the same)?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] opont:
Finally did it !

Wow - After a great number of retries, I finally figured it out ! :p

I went through all the steps described in this guide VERY carefully, but as many, got stuck at reboot after first upgrade (to 7008).

How I got through :

0- Recovered my locked SDCard with a Sony Ericsson VIVAZ

1- flashed WM6.5 stock ROM

2- made sure my phone was carrier unlocked (neglected this before)

3- Formatted my SDCard (SanDisk 8 GB Class2) under WM6.5

4- Went throuth steps 1 - 9 from the Guide ;

----- did NOT reboot after initial flash (did not activate)

----- Connected to Zune and let upgrade to 7008 go

----- Phone rebooted and got stuck before I could enter SIM PIN

5- Took off battery - did hard reset (boot => Vol + & Vol - ==> Vol - 2 times

6- restarted => no luck

7- took of battery - did RESET in Magldr (boot => hold Red buttun until menu ==> Reset

8- restarted => no luck

9- Took off battery - REMOVED SDCARD

10- boot ==> Magldr Menu ==> reset

11- restarted ==> OK !

12- Power Off

13 - RE-INSERT SDCard

14 - Restarted ==> OK & SDCard recognized

15- Connected Zune and let upgrade go to 7392 (NoDo)

16- proceeded to WP7 activation & LiveID

Since then phone is stable and works like a charm - Except some glitches in Multitouch, due ti the Multitouch HD2 driver not finished.

BTW if one of the excellent devs on XDA could work on this, I think a lot of people would be very grateful :)

Marketplace, XBoxLive, and everything works fine.

I'm going to wait a few days for the offical Mango upgrade, instead of going further. I wouldn't like to go through all these steps from scratch again :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Tho San Thanh Pho:
Stuck....

Hey again. I tried to download the devprov cab several more times and tried to download the cab sender a few times after that and it still wont come through. and I followed the guide exactly until the part where i got stuck which is before install the update build 7403.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] deaftly:
Installed pretty easy, mango runs quick!

Hi,

Problem with hardware buttons

Guys,

My hardware buttons (first 2) are not working. If I hold down the second butto, I do get the Speech assist to come up but when I press the first button, Camera does not come up.

Is everyone experiencing the same problem ? I reflashed twice already and still the same problem. Does this have to do with the Radio i'm using?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Al
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Alcatrazx:
Same happened to me .... My suggestions are these

- Disable Screen saver on your pc

- If you were updating to version 7712 , this takes a very long time to do so it's normal part of the process.

- It happened once to me , I press cancel disconnected phone and reconnected and was able to re-run the update but to be honest to you, I did not trust the flashing so I restarted all over again (to play it safe)

- Very Important: Put your antivirus into Gaming Mode or Silent Mode to have less interruptions during update as it can drastically speed up things (as was in my case)

Regards

Al

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] magdan83:
It also gave me 7403 ISV Beta update before 7712.

Doing it right now...

SD Card not working, so cannot update to 7712.

This sd card was working in all roms, i have used and i did everything the guide said.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

by the way. sd card was working with v1.

Problem updating in Zune

Zune tells met that it cannot find updates and I should set the correct date/time settings. However, I've done this but it still doesn't work.

What I have done so far:

I already had:

A) hard spl

B) magldr 1.3

C) the correct Radio!

So i directly started at point 7 and have done everything from there on. So I flashed the new rom, changed date/time settings, connected zune, tried to update -> doesn't work.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] uccmwitton:
First button in the ROM is the play button for music and the second button is the home screen. If you don't like this then flash a remap keys cab found on the first page of the ROM thread.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] uccmwitton:
Same happened to me, so I took the card out, carried on to 7712, then put it back in and hard reset. It was the recognised. Note my card was locked before as I was coming from 7720v1.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] maxpg:
Found the solution. I had the language set to english (this was not the problem) and there the date layout is of course MONTH DAY YEAR. However, I'm used to the german layout with DAY MONTH YEAR, so I simply entered the wrong date. Shame on me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Olli2:
Thx a lot for the great ROM und this guide. NearlyOlli2 everything is working fine, expect the installation of XAPs. Is it possible that the HD2 is locked after updating to 7720.68? When I want to send the XAP to the device, there is no connection to the device. Zune is closed before installing the XAP.

What do I have to do to install the XAPs like under nodo?

Best regards, Olli2.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] RCOO:
I have the exact same problem.

I think it gets unlocked somehow, although Chevron7 detects the device is unlocked and offers to relock.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] FD10:
Did you try to hard reset from settings? ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Olli2:
Yes I did a hard reset after all updates.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mapleleafs89:
I went from v1 7720 to WM6.5 and the format tool wouldnt see my SD card?

I skipped that and continued on and after the first update I cannot boot with my SD card or it boots to a black screen. I tried hard reset and reboot with it in.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] uccmwitton:
Don't worry about it mate. Take your card out and carry on upto the end of 7712. Pop it back in then, hard reset and it will then be recognised.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] nutzareus:
A certificate chain could not be built to a trusted root authority

Hey guys, I reflashed my HD2 from v1 to v2 and I am still stuck trying to update from 7712 to 7720. I keep getting error in the title of this post. I put all 8 cab files and tried to push them to the phone. Both v1 and v2 of the ROM at 7712 I cannot update to 7720. Help me out? TIA!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mapleleafs89:
I think your missing 7403 update in the tutorial. Nothing to it, just another zune update but might confuse someone going from 7392 -> 7712 when zune is telling them 7392 -> 7403
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mapleleafs89:
I get to step 6 restarting phone, when updating to 7712, only thing is the phone never restarts lol so it doesnt continue.

I pulled the battery and tried again, and get error code 80181198 when updating to 7712

-.-

edit: guess I had to reinstall updatewp.exe as it works now after that

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] tboy2000:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Tho San Thanh Pho:
help.

Okay am I suppose to have updatewp version 4.82345.0 because i have updatewp version 4.8.2134.0?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mapleleafs89:
I got this too. I just solved it by only installing 1 language pack.

So I had 3 cabs in total instead of 8. DPI, 1 Language pack (I did 0409 for english) and then the last package.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] nutzareus:
I just tried to push one language (3 packages) and it still failed. I pushed only the 409 cab and it installed. I tried the other 2 (DPI_262 and retail file) individually and both failed with certificate chain error... it can't be just me... the clock is correct on my computer and phone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mapleleafs89:
Do you have your SD card in and WP7 formatted it?

I would try a hard reset and once it boots up try again. I think the clock is only important when using zune to update.

I had this problem on v1 and it took me a long time to fix. Just keep trying, rebooting, resetting your phone from the about section and from holding volume up and down during the GO GO GO screen and then volume down twice to reset the phone.

I remember, I left my HD2, plugged in and cab sender running on the main menu, went to get a hair cut and when I came back it worked for some reason. I hadn't changed a thing.

So just keep playing around and hopefully it will work eventually.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] nutzareus:
Yes I have 16GB SD card I had no problems getting to 7712 at all. I keep hard resetting, retrying to push packages, just getting nowhere. The phone has no problem seeing the SD. Ah heck, I thought with v2 I could advance to 7720...

EDIT: After trying and retrying a gazillion times it finally loaded. No idea why this happened. Thanks, mapleleafs89.

[Q] Chevron/Sideloading

Hey All,

I noticed, that when I updated to 7720, the device isn't actually chevron unlocked, because when I try to install something via TOMs XXAP's keeps giving me error after error, I have done the DEV_UNLOCK cab & done the DEV_ROOT cab, but I can't seem to be able to sideload any program..

I have a feeling I may have done something wrong, can anyone help?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kenpham:
the solution is: open the battery cover, press the soft reset button (red color), the phone will restart and zune will jump to step 7 :)

if the steps 7 is not pass, take out your SD card and do again

Hi,

does anyone know why If wanted to upgrade HD2 to build 7720.68 via WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat, I went to 7392 >7403 without probles, but I wanted to move from 7403-7661 it shows me this error:

1.

OK If you went from flashing ROM 7004 [ version 2 ] to 7403 did you upload also 7401 ?

2.

Did you send in 7.0.7004.0-7.0.7403.0 also the canonical CABS ?

I did it second time via "WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat" and I put there also canonical CAB and it shows me same error like first time.

3.

Could you make an post "How to upgrade from 7004 build to 7720.68 via "WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat" + the errors which can occur.

I want to be able to flash HD2 without Zune.

I am aksing here because more people come here.
