[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gradyzero:
I had to leave this set of threads related to WP7 upgrade to Mango 7.5 specifically on the HTC HD2, in order to work on a set of minor issues that came up with the new release of Android's Tabooany 2.2. Now that we're done with that, I've returned to the the HTC HD2 upgrade to Mango 7.5 (2270). Apparently in the 3 weeks I was away from this issues a lot has been happening. Specifically the 7.5 RTM being pushed out by some carriers. Where I left off, I was following a new post from xboxmod http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1236027 that used XBmod-Yuki ROM V2.00 which seem to me the way to go since it left the phone unlocked (by leaving the Chevron, root and unlock features on the phone) and ready for the Mango 7720 build. This morning, I allowed Zune to apply cab 7008 and 7392 (no-do) to the phone. My intention were to then follow up by manually installing all of the update CABs using the one shot technique to get all the way to 7720. However, I see that Zune 4.7 is now Zune 4.8 and it seems to interfere with the WP7 Update cab sender. I tried to send Build 7403 over to the phone and a series of errors popped up in the DOS windows running the sender that made no sense to me. But then Zune came up and said this upgrade is not supported on your HTC HD2 phone. So I'm pretty much stuck until I can find a way to upgrade the phones name in the registry to HTC HD7. I can't get a copy of Zune 4.7. I had a copy on my hard drive that has been magically deleted since my time away from this project. Most online version are now gone but I did eventually find one in Norway. I downloaded it and a message popped upon the D/L completing. It said the D/L contained a virus and had been deleted. My virus program (AVG 2011 Pro) didn't do that or it would be in his log and the file would be in the virus vault. BTW, I had already disable Windows Defender Service so why did this happen? After the Zune 4.7 deletion the same thing happened when I attempted to download 7720.rar from Megadownload. Windows 7 x64 said it contained a virus and deleted it and pointed me to a Microsoft generic message about viruses. Again no message in the system logs or the virus protection logs although I had disabled AVG as well by now. Anyway, I somewhat regress, but anyone who has experienced this type of behavior in the past few day please let me know. My main issue right now is that I need to get the phone friendly id in the registry changed. I've used the WP7 developer Toolkit to push the Advanced Registry XDA to the phone and attempted to change the phones model number but as soon as I attempt to write it back, the phone vibrates and reboots over and over again. I've now flashed back to no-do with build 7392 reapplied by Zune 4.8. It would appear I'm not going anywhere until I get that phone model upgraded in the registry. I have read a post on this forum which I can't located right now on using HTC-ProvXML-Deploy.XAP to make changes to the registry but it totally lost me when it said to created a text file with the registry keys and changes that I wanted applied, which I did. But then when it had me to run the text file renamed to xxx.rgu through ProvXML program and extract the XAP file then rename it to CustClear.provxml and then insert it into the extracted HTC-ProvXML-Deploy0.0.1.XAP file, I was totally lost. How do you insert anything into an XAP file without recompiling it in VS2010 assuming you had the source. Any advice from anyone on any or all of these issues would be greatly appreciated. Folks without your help I'm stuck on Windows 7 Phone. Please help. Thanks!
