Ok..I finally got it figured out and my Focus is now officially a Mango. There were a couple of things I was doing wrong. So I searched and searched and finally got the answer for how to fix the 80180041 error message and then force the Mango update. Here are some tips:

1- Connect the usb cable of your phone on one of the usb ports that are behind your desktop or laptop. Don't use an Usb hub or front port.

2- The problem with my phone was that it was one of the "walshed" ones. That was the reason for the 80180041 error message when trying to update to 7392. I've used the Walshed recovery tool couple of times but the problem was still there. But then I found out what I was doing wrong. And this is the key to all of this folks, so read carefully. When you open the Walshed recovery tool, it asks you to checkbox which keyboard languages are installed on your phone. The trick is in checking all the boxes, not just the one from the keyboard you're using. So check you phone settings and see how many keyboard languages are installed on your phone and then check all that apply on the Walshed recovery tool,which is usually all of them. After that I was able to force the update to 7392. Had to force the 7403 update too but then the 7720 came automatically. The whole procedure took about 40 minutes to complete.

3- The disconnect trick is all about timing. In my case, The Zune software took about 4 seconds to tell me that my software was up to date. So when I tried the second time, I disconnected my wi-fi connection at second number 3. Two seconds later the available update message appeared on my screen. Like I said before, I had to do this twice to force the 7392 and the 7403 update.

Hope this helps

But couple of weeks ago I started hard pressing the up button and suddenly it started working even though its kinda stiff. This was after being like this for 6 months! It was a miracle.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKM-Eby:
I don't know if you still need to know this, since the thread is a couple months old, or if it will be helpful to anyone, but I had this exact same problem (except it was the condensation from a Subway cup), and recently came across an interesting solution.

There is a Trivia game you can download for free from the Marketplace called "Disney_Quiz" (screenshots included so you can make sure its the right one.) that will automatically turn the volume all the way up for you to 30/30.

I didn't do anything remotely special to make the volume turn up auto, I just fiddled a bit with the buttons in the game, clicked this here, clicked that there, tapped the volume down button on the phone a bunch of times, and eventually the volume restores itself to 30/30.

Hope this was of help. :)

P.S. The game itself sucks, but whenever I accidently turn my phone to silent and the volume drops to 0... it's nice to know I can still turn it back up. :)

I'll try and post a more detailed report tomorrow, but for now, for the sake of everyone desperate for a root method:

I succeeded in getting S-Off, and subsequently root, on a new Dinc2 with 2.3.4 using an XTC Clip.

I don't claim any credit for figuring out how. I followed the method posted here: http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthread.php/37567-Verizon-Droid-Incredible-2 (2nd page, post #25)

I did deviate slightly, in that I subbed the latest CWMod and SU files for the ones listed in that post. Otherwise, I followed it to a "T".

I started with a full stock S-On device and am now S-Off and running CM7.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] emieczko:
Full Method

Well deserved credit for this method goes to "cinla" who posted the original success with 2.3.3 at http://forums.phone-tools.cn/showthread.php/37567-Verizon-Droid-Incredible-2/page2

Cinla, in turn, gives credit to a number of others who were very helpful in putting this together. I strongly recommend reading cinla's original post and those linked to in it.

I'm posting this from memory after several days of minimal sleep. I apologize in advance if its not perfect. If you run into problems, I will attempt to help as best I can and fix my write-up.

Step 1: Achieve S-Off via XTC Clip

Follow the instruction manual which the Clip's software links to.​

Step 2: Install Clockworkmod

You'll need to create a pg32img.zip file containing (2) things:

1. recovery.zip

2. android-info.txt

Download clockworkmod from http://www.clockworkmod.com/recovery_images.html

Rename the file to recovery.zip

Open a text editor and copy/paste the following:

modelid: PG3210000

cidnum: VZW__001

mainver: 2.18.605.3

hbootpreupdate:12​

Save the file as android-info.txt

Use the archive utility of your choice (I used 7-zip) to create a zip file containing these (2) files. Name the .zip file pg32img.zip

Copy your new pg32img.zip to your SD Card. (Place it in the root)

Boot your phone into HBoot by holding down vol and power for 3-4 sec.

Your phone will automatically parse the zip file, installing clockworkmod

Reboot into HBoot again, and select "Recovery"

Run a nandroid backup

Move pg32img.zip out of the root, or delete it altogether​

Step 3: Install superuser

Download latest superuser app from http://goo-inside.me/superuser/

I used su-3.0-efgh-signed.zip

Copy the .zip file to the root of your SD Card

Boot your phone into HBoot and select "Recovery"

Clear cache and dalvik

Select Install zip from SD Card, and select your superuser zip file

Once completed, reboot normally​

You can verify root by opening the app launcher and selecting Superuser

At this point, I downloaded ROM Manager premium from the market and used it to install CM7. The road from here is yours to walk as you see fit.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
I would personally also upgrade hboot to an ENG(engineering hboot) 98

.200

that was provided to us by Jcase.

you flash in bootloader by renaming to PG32IMG.zip

thanks for confirming that the XTC clip supports 2.3.4, def good to know, are you still on the stock 98 hboot that came with the 2.3.4 and says in pink at the top in bootloader ***LOCKED***
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Mr Lime v2:
Glad to know my clip worked out well for you bro!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] emieczko:
Yeah, I'm still showing the ***LOCKED***. I'm having a helluva time finding the ENG hboot file. I'm not throwing in the towel, but so far the searches I've done have turned up RUU's and ROMs by jcase, but I can't find the hboot. You wouldn't happen to have a link?

On a side note, ***LOCKED*** certainly doesn't seem to be affecting my ability to load anything...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
no worries my friend. Put this on root of sd-card this will give you ENG hboot 98.200 and get rid of that dang pink ***LOCKED*** crap

How do you run a factory rom backup of everything? Without downloading some stupid app, or is there even a way. I am rooted and have clockwork mod, but I am just interested in how to do this?
[LG Thrill 4G] RootTheNoob:
Well usually we perform a nandroid backup but we can't flash cwm on the thrill yet though so the only thing I know of that we can do is flashing Cwm through Advanced and restore to the original rom/stock rom.
[LG Thrill 4G] geterdone18:
so if you have clockworkmod then you can do it that way?

I am planning to get White SGS2... looks sexy... but few questions come in my mind

1) is it sim unlockable like black one? I am getting a UK locked one so I have to factory unlock it.

2) All custom roms like villian etc etc can be flashed on white one too.. right? I really dont wanna miss any custom rom..:(

need answer quickly.. buying it in few hours..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
It's exactly the same hardware as the black version, so you can ignore the colour when looking to root, unlock & flash.

hey thanks... I am getting it but its a non refundable deal... I dont want to get stuck on a Locked set with no custom roms...:confused:

Must be damn sure... I saw some review on Android market about white one not unlocking with Sim unlocker by chainfire3d
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
please tell me too if I unlock it whilst its usong 2.3.3 and I flash a CFW or flash an updated 2.3.4 or 2.3.5.. will this Relock the sgs2 or it will remain unlocked forever?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
Unlocked is unlocked. As for it not unlocking with the Chainfire app, I've not heard of that and have seen people on here say they have used it. I bet the person who had a problem wasn't rooted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjdoctor:
thanks once again... I am gettng my hands on white one. I had actually two options.. either to get a black or white but some stupid reviewer said white is different and wont utilize custom roms of black one.. that really scared me...:p

so unlocking is permanent... thats great news...

I am running the official Mango release, on my Samsung Omnia 7...

I have followed the Interop-unlock from Heathcliff, and I added a few Accent Colours using Advanced Configuration 1.4.0.0

Now I have a nice gold coloured accent, however the apps default to the blue colour.

So is there an established process that works on the Omnia 7 to add new ThemeResource.xaml files so my new Accent colour is reflected in the apps themselves?

After installing the official Mango on my HTC HD7 an hour after roll out, i wanted to get WhatssApp on it as i have it working perfectly on the HD2, but the HD2 was unlocked so i was able to use the the Xap file option on the HD2 but not my HD7 as its not unlocked. So i found very easy way of getting without an tweaks, but simple official way as Zune is not currently showing it.

METHOD OF INSTALLATION​

;

1, Google whatsApp and go their actual website http://www.whatsapp.com

2, Click on the link "windows-phone-six" http://blog.whatsapp.com/index.php/2011/09/windows-phone-six

3, Click on the MARKET link, this takes you to the ZUNE WEBSITE.

4, LOG IN to your WINDOW LIVE ACCOUNT that you have that you use on your Window phone 7.5

5, You the have two choice (a) first choose one WP7.5 if you have more than one (b) and secondly chose what DELIVERY METHOD.

6, following the link and if you chose the email option it be sent to your email on your phone.

7, On your phone email, click the link and it send you straight to the market app on your phone, showing the WhatsApp app.

8, Download and install.

And it worked

Note try either option and don't give up on the first huddle if you stumble across any.

Hello all, I have the HD2 running the Back to the Future ROM V2. After I flashed it (a few weeks ago) I updated to WP7 7392 via Zune with no problems. I didn't touch it after that and left it as is.

So now I hear that T-Mobile is starting the rollout, and read in that 300+ page thread that some TMOUS HD2 users have gotten the update message. I am not getting the update available message.

Is the update staggered and it's just not available for me yet? Or am I doing something wrong?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] rubledub:
Go back, reread, and continue the install guide info starting at build 7403. You have to install the cab sender on your PC and then send the 'Device Provisioning.cab' after you complete the device provision plug back into Zune and update to 7720 =D

In case anyone who purchased their phone from them was not sure what their policy is, I spoke with them and we have 30 days to exchange the device. The 14 days is only if you want to cancel a line with no ETF.

So that gives us a little more time to play with the device and not rush into an exchange wondering if something is wrong with the phone we got or if everyone has the issue and not just our phone.

There is 2 ways to exchange. First is you would need to send them the phone back first and they will ship you a new one when they receive it.

Second way is they ship the phone first but you would need to pay full retail for it and when they receive the return they credit your card back.

They pay for the shipping of the phone......

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up on what I was told today......

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] OMAC1A:
What exactly do you mean by simplified? I installed Back to the Future V 2.0 and connected to Zune and let it update to 7392. I didn't want to mess around with all that other stuff. It was too confusing and I decided to just wait for the official release. So, since I just have 7392, which I installed via Zune, over the foundation of Back to the Future ROM, I assume that I will be able to update to Mango via Zune too...am I right here?
