you just have to wait. The HTC section comes back after syncing with zune and sometimes it takes a couple hours for the marketplace to refresh. Its weird but thats how it always happens.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
yes, and Internet Sharing. Although I cant find flip to silence, I dont think its there.

Hi

What do you mean unpack the cab I'm lost

John
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
Has anyone pushing the OEM LD1 fw cab to an Omnia7, bricked their phone? I did.

There may be two reasons for it...

a. I pushed an OEM/Carrier specific cab without setting the Operator in the device registry to match the fw carrier

b. I applied the fw straight from 8107 (before updating to 8112/8773). I thought I should first flash the fw cab first, rather than the actual update. May the LD1 fw be Tango specific?

Anyway, after bricking the phone, I accessed download mode and flashed an RTM (7.0.7004.0) Rom, and got the phone alive.

At that point I had kept a backup, so I thought I could restore it straight away via Zune. To no avail. I thought it's logical not being able to restore a 8107 backup to 7004 device (also I receive an error message across that line)

I took my time to update all the way back to 8107 and trying restoring back up every EACH step (7008, 7392, 7720, 7740) without success. After going to Mango the error message changed to an 80181E0 error.

Note that the device name (AAAAAAAA - BBBBBBBB - CCCCCCCC - DDDDDDDD) code that the backups are sored under that name, did not changed after the 7004 ROM flash, so I should be able theoritically to restore backup. What the heck?

PS. Number ONE consumer feature of the WP8 should be AT LEAST better back-up system (if not full cloud backup as on iCloud). I lost my progress in games for difficult to get long-term achievements like ''Smash 250,000 boxes'' on Angry Birds or... ughh I don't even think about it.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sab742:
Hold up, did you use the cab URL here? If so, that's not a carrier cab but an unbranded retail one.

I think the issue may be that you weren't on Tango 8773 when you updated. mohageer (who posted the firmware) received the notification for LD1 after updating his phone to Tango, which suggests it may be a prerequisite.

---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 AM ----------

Unpack the cab as in unzip the cab. It should be the .cab file + language file cabs in the folder with the cab sender application. See my post here

To be honest, if you still don't know what I mean then I suggest you don't proceed with this..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Hi chemeng,

Afaik both of your reasons should not cause a brick. If some operator branding doesn't match, the update should just fail at the beginning with an error that implies a mismatch. Also, Samsung update should probably work with older OS versions. But there could obviously be some kind of bug that prevents the phone from normal behavior. Normally, what you did, should just work.

Afaik (again) you can only use a backup to go back to a previous state. Not to restore to a new OS version (after a downgrade). The reason, i believe, is that some of the backup-decryption-info is stored on the phone. So you can only restore to a state that your phone has currently decryption info for.

I understand Microsofts intentions about security, but it also implies a lot of limitations that are unacceptable for normal usage. Microsoft should indeed improve the whole backup-experience (backup appdata, encrypted).

Ciao,

Hi, i'm following the tutorial of jaxbot but i have a problem, when i try to update from update cab sender i got an error because the phone should be connected to internet, but the tutorial say it must be in airplain mode and even the pc must be disconnected.

On my WP (omnia W) i have the version 8107.79, so i have downladed the files:

http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._d500a10eeb11fb6c1913adac4759d67185474d3e.cab

http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._24bb20423e86130365686c1796577d4b22343be9.cab

plus the 22 language packs from 8107.79 to 8112.7.

How can i resolve?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Added a bunch of new HTC firmware links to the opening post. Thanks to HD2Owner and Ultrashot.

Ciao,

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jessenic:
You cannot update without internet, I'll tell Jaxbot. But there is a solution:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
You don't have the latest OEM updates for it. Look at device brand and model and search opening post for correct update.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
True, but you can do an offline update without zune running. If the phone is in airplane mode and on pc zune is not running, you device should not relock. Make sure you remove the portal url's before opening zune. That should work too.

Ciao,

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
You are talking about updating with CabSender right? If yes, just keep the internet on the pc connected for the first 2-3 minutes, disconnect after the upgrade process has started and before the phone reboots to run the new updated os. The most important is on your phone be in airplane mode. As soon as your 1st boot make sure you have remained in airplane mode (if not do it straight away), and then run the relockPrevent app. If it runs it means you have still Interop Unlock. You will notice that ''Portal URL'' has got a url. Press ''prevent relock''. The field Portal URL should be blank now. Close the app. Re run it and make sure the url has been removed from Portal URL field. If yes you are good to go and connect the phone to the internet.

Hi

Thanks for everyones help.

Managed to update my phone to 8107 but now everytime I press the phone button to call someone it loops me back to the tile screen.

Can some one help me?

Thanks

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] jullian_d:
guess i will have to wait forever for the oem update via zune ....sucks no internet sharing or flip to silent etc for me
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Phil_123:
And I just found out Messaging Hub is broken as well, I can get into the Messaging Hub but every time I open a message, it crashes and takes me back to the Start screen.

What can I do if I have no backup to restore from? :(

Edit: Good news, I sent all 8112 cabs (which error'd saying none of them are applicable) and 8773 cabs (no errors) to my Titan with my home PC and now everything is working fine now. Problem solved. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] dejawho:
ok, updated my omnia w (samsung focus flash) to tango with the guide of jaxbot. All working and still windowbreaked, but for me update cab sender doesn't work, i've used easywp7updater instead.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] willdarko:
Problem fixed!

So, I forgot to tell everyone the solution (i´m sorry, i've been very busy)

What did not worked on my DVP when I "semibrick" my device:

Under settings>system

-Wifi.

-Keyboard.

-About

-Emal+accounts.

Under system>applications.

-Messaging.

-People.

-Phone (was only a little big laggy)

In start screen.

-Messaging Hub.

-People Hub (it worked, but when you tried to hit "settings" it would kick you out of the hub)

I did not notice nothing else!

SO HERE IS THE SOLUTION

For Dell Venue Pro owners: If you own a DVP you MUST KNOW that we cannot select any other language than english (I believe its a Dell thing), so and BY ANY MEANS SEND ALL THE LANGUAGES (I had to do that in order to get it fixed) just send the "409" pack fron 8112 and for tango (8773)... If you did what I did (sended just a few packs from 8112 and other few -they didn't even match with the numbers- from 8773) just SEND ALL THE LANGUAGE PACKS AGAIN BUT ALL OF THEM! The 22 from 8112 and the 8773!! First send the 22 from 8112 (yes, this time your phone will say update succesfull, but the issue will still be there) and then send the other 22 from the 8773 and YOU ARE DONE! YOUR PHONE IS BACK AND EVERYRTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT!

For every WP owners: JUST SEND THE LANGUAGE PACKS ALL OVER AGAIN (as I explained for the DVP users) and everything will be alright!

PS: PLEASE, PLEASE, ALWAYS AND ALWAYS SEND YOUR CAB FILES WITH BACKUP (PRESS "B" INSTEAD OF "S") that would get you a backup that you can use if anything goes wrong!

PS2: Be aware of not "overwrite previous backups" (I dont know if that is possible also)

I HOPE THAT EVERYONE CAN FIX THEIR ISSUES!

QUESTION

DVP users out there! Do you have any FW version apart from the 7720.219? (i'm talking about the phone firmware, not the OS)

ALSO, Dell has rolled out the update for the DVP (tango) but the compass keeps "DOA"

PS3: I own a branded DVP (T-Mo). Does anyone knows how to "unbrand" it? THANKS!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Heathcliff74:
Thanks for sharing your findings. I already suspected this was due to incomplete language updates. Got two questions, for better understanding and maybe update the guides.

1. Which language packs/versions did you install the first time?

2. You only had English. To add other languages successfully, you only installed the Tango versions of the language packs? I would suspect you needed to install all versions, from 7004 to 8773 for a successful install of a new language.

Heathcliff74
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] willdarko:
1. I did not notice that I've skipped the fisrt lang pack with the 8112 (0c0a) and used the first 4, with the Tango update i've used the first 5 (starting from 0c0a, I mean I used different versions that did not match between them, this was part of the error I'm sure)

2. I've installed the 22 from 8112 and then the 22 from 8773 in order to fix the issue!

PS: Since the day one (my phone came with the 1st OS version) it only had English and I was not able to select any oder one...

I also have to questions for you!

1. If I start sending the languages packs from 7004 right now that I have 8773, I will experiment the same issue that I had? I just have to do a backup and try and nothing will go wrong?

2. I'm not able to do a backup of my device wit the Windows Phone 7 Backup App... It always throw me an error... Another way to do it?

THANKS!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ckacey:
The main reason I didn't do this with my TmoUS Lumia 710 was the large amount of languages, it worked perfectly the two times I used it on my TmoUS HD7, for the Lumia I did the disconnect the internet trick while the phone is in airplane mode, worked great.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Osso17:
I followed the guide in the first post to update with CAB my Omnia 7 to SO 7.10.8773.98.

With the same guide,at a later time, I put the latest firmware " Samsung Omnia7 - Unbranded LD1 Update, localized for Nordic Countries" with CAB.

My Omnia 7 is unlocked :)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Androyx96:
How can I preserve my unlock on my HTC HD7 after the Tango update?

In this moment I have my HTC HD7 with:

OS Version: 7.10.8107.79

Firmware: 2250.21.51101.401 (Mango v3)

Bootloader: 5.11.2250.0(134578)

And I want to update (with CABs) to new Tango update. My phone is Interop-Unlocked but I haven't WP7 Root Tools installed because my device it says is not supported. My question is only if I have ANYWAY (no matter what it takes) to update my phone to Tango WITHOUT losing my Unlock.. Is there a solution? Please help me!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sab742:
Can you please investigate whether this update fixes the phone using the cellular/mobile internet connection when connected by Wi-Fi bug.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
@Androyx96, also if you have access to a Registry Editor, you'll just need to write the PortalUrl IMMEDIATELY after you update to Tango after following those steps if the .xap mentioned in the article doesn't work for you. I would say the most important two things are AirPlane mode and the hosts file. While the phone is plugged into the computer through USB mode, it is still possible for it to somehow do some pseudo-tether and access the internet.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
It has fixed it on my Focus. I have seen FLAWLESS connection. I haven't had to toggle between airplane mode or Wifi ONCE. My whole phone's responsiveness has gone up
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sab742:
Hmm in that case I may give it a go...

I will report back!

EDIT:

On first impressions...it appears to be fixed. Will update after a few days.

EDIT 2:

Spoke too soon....wi-fi bug is still there.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] turbulent28:
any noticeable differences with the samsung update?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Hmm.. My connection issues don't exist which is shocking me. Try restoring and then only doing tango without the Samsung driver update. I misread your post as update meaning only tango. I never installed the Samsung update. I don know if you installed it either, but i didn't. Also Also did you happen to install the internet sharing prior? I know that gave me issues so I justdeleted the keys completely out of the registry on 8107,
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sab742:
I've tried with and without the latest Samsung update, with and without Tango. Unfortunately I can't remove internet sharing as its a feature I use on a daily basis.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] snickler:
Yeah you may be stuck with the issue :-/. Internet Sharing made my data connection even worse. I first fully put it on 8107 and even with the existing issues, it completely fudged everything up.

2) what the files I've to download?

Thanks in advaance for the support of the comunity!

Cheers!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Kettmann:
Been power testing this firmware

1. Most noticeable difference is in overall responsiveness of the screen. Scrolling is smoother and lags behind fingers alot less. Lag of sound when typing appears to be gone.

2. The auto dimming of the screen has calm down quite a bit. The constant flickering back and forth while using the phone has more of a delay. Can see delay in covering the light sensor and the reaction of the dimmer is delayed about 2-3 seconds before it was almost instant.

3. Signal reception seems to have dropped some but that could be environmental changes.

4. Speed on WiFi has ticked up as has data on HSPA+ . Prior to firmware was seeing data speeds in the 2-3 Mb range and now am consistently getting 5-6.

5. Battery life has dropped a bout 1hr from where it was. Getting about 6 hours with daily use.

So far these are my observations. Glad I updated for now but should the time come that I need to re-windowbreak for interop I have created a restore point to prior the firmware and am keeping it safe. Then I can update and move forward again
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Leapo:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lobbie1978:
Thanks so much for this! Worked very easy on my unbranded HTC HD7.

Installed the WPUpdate tool

Extracted the CabSender files into a folder

Copied the 7740 update into the Cabsender folder

Launced the batch file

I hit 'S' and after a minute it was updated!

Excellent!

Small note: First I tried running the batch file in Administrator Mode, but it didn't work then (couldn't see the update cab) You should run the batch file not as administrator, then it works just fine :)

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] LiFePo4:
Did you try a batt pull and wait 30 seconds before putting back in to see if it clears it?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rossi32s:
Yes, the problem seems to be that after the phone gets the cab file and the loader tells it to reboot the phone's USB stops working/the updater can no longer talk to the phone. If i pull the battery and turn it back on the phone boots back up fine under 7720.
