ya hopefully someone captures the CABs and their generic enough to flash on all devices not just Nokia Lumia series

RE: [CAB] Official WP7 Updates List: 7.10.8773 + ALL LANGUAGES complete + OEM updates

They should work for all devices, the base OS is updated to 7.8 from one cab then languages, then device specifics.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
I advise to wait for the update that is specifically for your model. The 7.8 update will contain OS updates, but for Nokia devices (and probably also the other brands) there will also be a model-specific OEM-update. That update is necessary to let the 7.8 OS update run smooth on your device. The OEM-updates won't update on different models. And if you only flash the OS-update, it will work, but you will notice lag on the startmenu. And you will obviously miss some of the new features, like the new bluetooth-stack.

Is it possible to update with OS update cab and then (when it will be released) install OEM update cab?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
You probably can. But expect some things not to work smooth.

Remember guys, if the update pops up, use wireshark to capture the url's. Backups are not useful. Only url's of the OS-update, language-updates and different OEM-updates are useful. Read the opening post for additional info.

Thanks,

I will be putting 7.8 on my Quantum the minute the cabs are available.

*so excited*
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] voluptuary:
I wouldn't worry too much about the OEM updates for devices that OEM support has been dropped (HTC) I have been running WP7.8 on multiple phones for quite some time and have had no issues and two of the devices (Focus/HD2) have not had OEM updates since Mango or earlier. If fact I would go out on a limb and bet any update from Samsung/HTC or the like would probably be to patch some of the exploites the great devs here at XDA have managed to find more than adding anything helpfull.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fubag:
LOL, looks my Dell Venue Pro is about to enter the trash bin if I wait for OEM updates.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwadie:
I never experienced any issues with updating only the OS update cab files. From time to time I checked for some Firmware updates for my phone (Omnia7) and installed when available.( To bad I installed the latest one from Samsung because I lost my Inter-op unlock)

I cant wait for the Cab files to appear on here :)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:

that backup folks, OEM updates will likely bring you a world with no interop unlock
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] esberlat:
Do you think that i can upgrade my lg with cab sender?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
all phones should cab update with proper signed MS cabs, the question is what experience will you have once you have, if the OS update requires some OEM updates too

another question is for those of us that haven't updated their firmware and are going to use only zune, will you be forced to update the old firmware first before moving on to the later updates...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwadie:
Does anyone have an ETA on when the update will roll out today?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dazza9075:
Presumably its dependant on several things

Microsoft>OEM>Carrier

I'd guess that all three need to tick the wee box to launch so it could be anytime, I mean blimey, how long was it for them to roll out Mango across the range. I'd be super impressed if they were able to do a wholesale roll out on day 1
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SunnyChrono6:
Now after I've updated from 7004 to 7403/7392, I don't have my icons any more.(the things that show up under the dialer application,and the battery saver logo,etc.) I'm using 8773 now,and I already installed the languages and stuff too. Please help,this is very annoying.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwadie:
make sure you installed the updates in the correct order and start a new cab sender with every install.

Only install the languages that are installed on your phone and NOT all 22 ! otherwise you phone may go act strangely as this is in your case

install 1 - NODO OS UPDATES (7.0.7004.0 - 7.0.7403.0) + NODO LANGUAGE PACKS (7.0.7004.0 - 7.0.7403.0)

install 2 - MANGO OS UPDATES (7.0.7403.0 - 7.10.8107.79) + MANGO LANGUAGE PACKS (7.0.7403.0 - 7.10.8107.79) + DELL UPDATES

install 3 - TANGO OS UPDATES (7.10.8107.79 - 7.10.8773.98) + TANGO LANGUAGE PACKS (7.10.8107.79 - 7.10.8773.98)

what are those common cab files ? because if I try to update with the cab sender I get an error that an update package isnt signed
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bobzero:
The common cab files are just windows defender antivirus definition updates, they got caught by wireshark. You can delete them
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwadie:
do you have all the files?

it looks so small :)

the 7.10.8858.136 (aka 7.8) is only like 8 MB ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] fubag:
ya i think that's it LOL nothing much changed
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwadie:

i hope the bing wallpaper works now, because on some of the custom ROMs od 8858 i had this bug that it sets only todays picture, after that no other day...

works great on my att Htc Tian

RE: [CAB] Official WP7 Updates List: 7.10.8773 + ALL LANGUAGES complete + OEM updates

Before updating did you try Zune? Also are you interop unlocke and maintained that lock? Thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Skrypek:
I have just sucessfully updated my old Mozart with those files. Thank you for the links :)

However, before someone brakes his phone:

The first section should be split in two.

The generic 7.10.8773.98-7.10.8779.8 OS update + language packs, applicable to all phones, and the OEM Update for Lumia 800/RM-801 (which may require at least 7.10.8779.8 to install).

Deploying the oemupdate to a wrong phone may brick it. The OS updates are safe.

Can anyone confirm what firmware version is deployed in that oemupdate cab?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] elixir_pr:
You have to select the cab AND language files based on your current OS build. What is your current OS build, I will guide you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Dinchy87:
no i have not updated to this, i still have a custom 7.8 rom (8858) i just hope bing daily wallpaper functions like it should.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FlashTek95:
Which cabs do I have to install to update to 7.8?

My phone: HTC 7 Trophy, 7.10.8107.79, German

Some advice would be nice;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Skrypek:
You should start with Tango 7.10.8107.79 - 7.10.8773.98 and language packs

EDIT:

Well that has to be a two-step upgrade after all:

7.10.8107.79-7.10.8112.7 - 24 cab files (2 for the OS and 22 for languages)

7.10.8112.7-7.10.8773.98 - also 24 files

And then you can move further.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FlashTek95:
And which cab do I have to install then?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Skrypek:
Next you have do deploy three sets of cabs:

7.10.8773.98-7.10.8779.8 - 23 files - don't put the nokia oemupdate in there!

7.10.8779.8-7.10.8783.12 - 1 file

7.10.8783.12-7.10.8858.136 - 24 files

You can deploy a set of cabs by placing them in one folder with the cabsender tool and running the tool.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] FlashTek95:
Thanks, but could you please give the the links to the cabs? Because actually I am kinda confused by the different versions and feel afraid of installing the wrong os/oem version. Thanks in advance!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] goldenpipes:
are you interop unlocked as well?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bobzero:
Can you check if you have the internet explorer option to change default search from Bing to Goolgle?

I have it on my Lumia 710 after the updates, but it does not show up on my c900k after updating.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Skrypek:
You can find the links in the following posts:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21394184&postcount=2 (Tango)

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37386343&postcount=1482 (7.8)

Just skip the oem files and make sure you have the correct numer of files for each version.

And keep in mind that the backups, which take forever to complete, are useless if you break your phone. They can only be used to downgrade after a successful upgrade. Hence I recommend skipping them and double checking the file list instead.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] tekgurl:
What about the Titan 2

Is there no love at all for the Titan 2???
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Skrypek:
You should be able to deploy the OS updates on any phone. They are not device specific.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] yockfu:
I have updated my Samsung Focus S on AT&T to 8858.136 and I have kept my interop unlock!!!! MMS and everything else appears to be working perfectly!!!!!!!!

I should also say that I was kinda scared of losing my interop, so I was in airplane mode while deploying via Cab Sender. I also ran relock prevent after each OS update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] EirikrHinnRauthi:
Its "one of those days".

1) Most importantly: I can't remember how the heck to thank you for this.

2) Do you know a trick to figuring out which language pack is which?

THank ya! :)

@Hilga

Just check the first site

you see strings like "lang_0404" in the URL, on the first site heathcliff did a nice Job to write all languages down for example "Chinese (traditional) (0404):"

-> lang_404 in the URL is chinese traditional

theres no realy trick for it...just reading
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] deliol:
I just updated both my HTC 7 Trophy and my wife's LG E900 to 7.8 .....

Everything went well, i'm glad i kept the "relock prevent" installed and with root access: The last (third) update to 7.10.8858.136 adds back the "developerservices" url and the phone will lock once it gets internet access.....

Thank you guys!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] elixir_pr:
First you would need to update from 7.10.8107 to 7.10.8773, then you would need to update from 7.10.8773 to 7.10.8783 and then final you need to update to 7.10.8858 (which is WP 7.8)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] asim2462:
Hi,

I have a DVP, and i was wondering if anyone can provide me with the cabs in order to send to my DVP to get 7.8. It is carrier unbranded.

Currently i am running:

OS Version: 7.10.8773.98

If anything else is needed please let me know :)

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] HD2Owner:
check in language settings, wich display languages are supported on your dvp.

usually only nokias have all 24 langs in rom. htc's and others often have region specific roms with +-5langs per rom only.

so install main cab and dpi cab, followed by all lang cabs of langs that are present in your rom.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DustinWolf:
Out of curiosity, is the option to display music controls on the lock screen and Music + Video artist image Live Tile animations supposed to be gone?

Now, when I unlock the screen when playing music I have the volume control popup with music controls and the generic visualizations (that usually is displayed only when there is no info on an artist). I checked Music + Videos settings and all I have is the option for connecting to zune for album artwork and music information. And the Music + Video tile, even though having all 3 tile resizes, is just a static icon.

Those are my only curiosities. If they are supposed to be like that then alright. (maybe im missing a device specific update. doubt it (I don't think the quantum got 7.8 "officially"). Who knows, Maybe they'll be there after a reboot.

Other than that, its beautiful. my phone seems faster and "peppier", to put it, and the tile animations seem smoother.

I also enjoy the app rebranding (even if it is just a new tile) and the extra colors.

My phone is still dev unlocked too.

Overall I love 7.8, and the small tile size finally lets me get the perfect arrangement of icons. :)

EDIT: "WP7Root Tools revoked by Microsoft. Please Uninstall." I lost root tools. Anyone know why?

EDIT: Dev unlock was removed upon connecting to zune. gonna re-unlock via mfg

EDIT: The song I was playing, the album didn't have proper artist info. I tried another song and the tile is animated.

Worked great on Focus S using EasyWP7Updater.

Thanks everyone!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jordandrako:
So I have a DVP too. Which files did you use? Tried using all of them, tried using the ones that went with the languages you listed, and each gave me error 80180048. Correct me if I'm wrong, which I assume I am, but go to settings, then region+language, and all the languages listed under region format are the ones mine needs right?

If so there are many more than 24 languages in there.

Edit:

Alright, got it to work using only the update cab and english file. It started up and looked beautiful. I was excited to check out the new accent colors, but they aren't there. What'd I do wrong?

Edit 2: The lock+wallpaper settings won't launch either. It acts like a broken app that crashes on start up (click, flip animation, black screen, back to settings menu).

Edit 3: Aha! I got it working. I found I was missing a file that was before the language files. So I did the update again with that one, the english file, and the main os file and it worked. I can now access all the new colors and lock+wallpaper settings!

this is likely something very simple I am missing. I did this with all prior updates before on my dusty LG Quantum.

On Windows 8 64 bit.

I get this error:

Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {77CB935D-D0CC-4249-8643-3C387A514A27} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

any idea what I am missing?

thanks

edit, couldn't figure it out on two PCs. Was successful via Zune update disconnect method though.

edit2: false alarm, that ended up in an error as well. I hard reset the phone and tried again but the same error. update cannot proceed after step 7 or so.

edit3: got the tool to work after installing WP7_update_tool.rar. But now I get the same error that I received when I tried the disconnect method. error code 80180048

edit: that is bizarre. I used the tool and started sending the large 8Mb cab first then others. This way I was able to update. I think it has to do with timeout issue. if it starts with smaller cabs first and then stays for a long time on the 8mb it times out?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] goldenpipes:
i was able to install the the first two sets of cabs but cant install the third for some reason i keep getting this:

I'm lazy

I have a US T-mobile HD7. I only installed os updates and English lang packs without any issues (I speak German and Spanish, but cant speak French or Italian, I should be smarter than my phone). Less than 15 min from tango to WP7.8. Works great. I did have to uninstall/re-install HTC hub. Maybe that's why HTC can't roll out an official update for the HD7, they can't make hub work... :silly:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derausgewanderte:
same error here on my old LG Quantum. I also downloaded the cabs twice. I got the same error when I updated via the disconnect method in Zune three times, so I am positive it has nothing to do with the cabs. Please report back if you find a solution. I will report mine above.

thanks and good luck

edit: that is bizarre. I used the tool and started sending the large 8Mb cab first then others. This way I was able to update. I think it has to do with timeout issue. if it starts with smaller cabs first and then stays for a long time on the 8mb it times out?

also, I was able to install the language packs only one at a time, otherwise it would error out. Tedious, but works.

As Heathcliff stated, this will probably work smoother with a small OEM update before this one. LG OEM update? lol

either way, it works. Now trying to sell this on Ebay with 7.8
