no u cannot downgrade with 5.0. it can only be done with some special hardware purchased on the internet to fix bricked devices

---------- Post added at 04:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 AM ----------

u read u on how HTC batteries work', its easier to damage a Iphone battery than HTC

they HTC only charge to 80%.

over time this becomes less and less like 60% because of OS reads the battery indicator instead of the actual charge in the battery.

this is not only found in wp7 phone but Laptop windows 7 as well. windws 7 have killed many people's battery because Microsoft has a strange battery algorithm reading and charging method

because using registry editor, i found out that the batter indicator can be changed regardless of the actual battery charge inside the battery.

this tells me that the indicator and actual charge level in the phone have no relation

i hope they have fixed this in the latest 5.01 firmware which i updated, still testing it to see if the symptoms still persist

for more info refer to this i posted earlier in another thread

To explain in simple terms

Imagine u have a fuel tank with measuring gauge on it.

U pump the tank with petrol (charge) The gauge only measures the amount of petrol that is pumped . But when the engine is running (parasitic load ) it uses up some of the petrol but the gauge does not know this has it only measures inflow of petrol and not the true amount in the tank .

When the gauge shows 100% full . Maybe only 80% is left in the tank , due to parasitic load when the enging was running during charging. When u unplug the petrol inflow. The gauge then starts to measure the true level when the engine is running (discharge) without petrol inflow

in the tank and from 100% it rushes down to the 80% to correctly reflect ,hence giving the battery drain effect as if the battery is draining fast.

Anyone with HTC 7 Trophy could post the cab for update? Thanks.

HTC Update

Hello,

with my "HTC Mozart Orange CH" I make the 7.10.7740.16 Update offline with the Cab-Sender this day.

After this Update "Zune" mark me an "HTC-Update" that I downloading and see, this is 49.2MB ??????????????

Link to the .cab: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IVABHG4B

Is this the "Internetsharing-Update?

If yes, does this Update change the Bootloader from the Mozart from 4.5 to 5.1?

If yes, is it possible to remove the "Bootloader.pkg" from the .cab?

Would be nice to answare me.

EDIT: Found in the OEM_8x50_ULDR_MOZART.cab.pkg (59890A18-0143-471f-8A8F-1596A2F26C36.rgu) the registry strings for the ROM-Info. See pic "Registry Info".

If one of person can help with this, would be nice. :)

What about Trophy? Still no new updates, and no Portuguese language -.-
[Windows Phone 7 General] zyxer_raffy:
Strange! I have unbranded HTC HD7 and still didn't have an update (7740).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ludacris:
I am on 7740 (via CAB, its an universal cab by Microsoft) but did not yet get the Internet Sharing Update...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Shahab2500:
unbranded HD7 and no updates till now...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
FYI to some that got the update but no WiFi sharing, HTC said it was carrier specific...your carrier might not support it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agalvan:
Anyone with an un-branded HD7 get this update yet? I'm still waiting patiently but I'm really surprised that we haven't gotten it yet.

Also, is there anyway to re-brand now that we are on Mango? From what I can tell there is no way except for re-flashing a signed T-Mobile Mango rom.

I really don't want to resort to that!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Twistedme:
I got the update prompt on my stock hd7 ran it via zune.

OS Version: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware revision: 2250.21.51003.531

Radio software version: 5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U

Bootloader version: 5.10.2250.0(132968)

Mac Address changes with soft reset.

also noticed before update I had only 3 gB of available storage and now have 9gb

does rollingback resolve the Mac issue? also should we report this bug to Ms or HTC?
[Windows Phone 7 General] cybmat:
Orange France branded HTC Mozart, no news of the Internet Sharing yet...
[Windows Phone 7 General] CR1M1N4L:
Advice:

You can force the update by quickly disabling the network connection while checking for updates in the Zune. It's the same trick many of us used to get Mango. Just be sure to uncheck the second option in "updates" settings section on the phone. I've also disabled WiFi on the phone, to get the update but I'm not sure it's essential. Good luck.

P.S. My unbranded HTC Mozart: Update in progress..
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.8820:
That's good to know, I told some that didn't get notified to force it :D....but disconnecting the data connection helps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agalvan:
I've tried that trick a hundred times with my HD7, and I still can't get the update. At this point I'll be patient unless I hear that someone else with an un-branded HD7 has gotten the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
i too had that problem right after applying the update. what i did is i roll back to the previous version and after doing so, i got my old mac address back. im ignoring the ics update i dont do ics anyways. ill wait for the 7740 update instead. im also hoping that us htc wp7 device users will get the panoramic pciture feature of the htc titan. built in panoramic capture would be totally awesome.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hidden_hunter:
No luck getting it for my Telstra Mozart
[Windows Phone 7 General] majkeljj:
still no update for unbranded mozart in Poland :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] memeqxda:
my version is still at 7720

i didn't receive any update these days
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Maybe HTC is now holding back the update due to the MAC address issue. Just a thought though as I also didn't recieve an update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] reslan_912:
i have htc hd7 no updates

Hey i have hd7 unbranded ...no updates yet ....the same as mango update it didnt show me the update i tried the force method to update otherwise..i cant get it even after 1 week of waiting ...i have zune up to date ....any help ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] nsajuve:
no update for unbranded mozart in italy .... i'm trying to undestand if this is due the firmware i have....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Twistedme:
thanks for the update on how rolling it back will restore the Mac address. I did contact HTC support they sent a generic response wanting my IMEI# and request that I factory reset my device so at this point I'm worried that HTC isn't aware of the issue so hoping 7740 fixes it might be stretch. the panaramic camera feature would be nice. I thought the whole point of wp7 was that all devices were the same since Ms controlled the core os software and features?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
That's for the core OS itself. Not for features added by OEMs.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tomasino.blaha:
I updated,but now i can't see my WiFi network :(

I tried change security router to WPE,WPA2-PSK,WPA-PSK,open too

But nothing helped :(

I tried hardreset,reset router but still nothing.

Thanks for help
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheuszg:
Do you have a hidden SID? Maybe you have to manually enter your SID.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
youre welcome. i too have contacted htc regarding this matter. and yes, they are not aware of it. i also read an article in wmpu and this unlikely behaviour of mac address changing is illegal. i dont know the legal implicatons of this but be it illegal or not, i would still prefer a static mac address (which should be the case). im going to wait till htc releases a fix to this mac address issue. for now im just going to ignore the update (which is now getting a little irritating lol).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Twistedme:
Yes I agree was what i meant by hoping 7740 fixes it might be a stretch

I think its illegal for a company to sell a card without a hardcoded mac address assigned to it at the factory.the MAC is what any network uses to assign you an ip via a dhcp lease or identify a device so some networks might flag our always changing MACs as suspicious. Most Computers, routers, game systems etc.. allow you the user\owner to change (spoof) a mac address since it is possible to have a conflict or sometimes helps with special apps that lock to a mac as an id. I believe wp7 apps like netflix amazon kindle, Bankofa associate your login to your mac.

I definitely agree its a nic driver issue. Most likely the nic driver isn't quite right for our hardware so it is ignoring or unable to pull the hardcoded mac and randomly generating its own on each reboot the 1st 3 octets are owned by htc so its not spoofing another Manufacturer but still probably frowned upon by the all powerful IEEE Console.

I have had issues with intel based nics and drivers that when used on a base corporate pc that gets captured and re imaged onto multiple systems would clone a single mac on all the new systems I placed it on using ghost and or MS sysprep removing the nic or driver didn't resolve the issue the only solution was recreate a base image with different nic card and drivers then enable the intel cards after the image deployment strangely the spoof mac showed up on boot discs also.

Just my 2 cents
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
thank you very much for the above information. information such as this will help noobs like me.anyway, somebody from htc called me up a couple of hours ago and he too is not aware of this issue. i gave him details about the problem and he just said that he will be escalating the matter to higher management. im not sure what he meant by higher management because this doesnt involve htc's executive. he only needs to escalate it to their software development team or to the department who coded the update. well that is still something to hope for (atleast for htc to fix the mac address issue).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Twistedme:
I can also confirm rolling back the update does restore the phones ability to read the read only devices MAC and show it once we roll back to before the HTC update (not 7740 ive not been offered it yet)

looking at pics of before I ran patch and than after running the patch and reverting to before the patch i noticed that the firmware version reverts back to 2250.21.40503.531

While even though I have rolled back to what should be an unaltered phone it did not undo the radio or the bootloader updates which are still the new version numbers so the issue is entirely in the firmware 51003 and is not an issue with either the bootloader or the radio update since they operate and function fine with the older firmware.

Before patch

firmware version= 2250.21.40503.531

radio software version=569.09.09.29a_22.50.5?? (pic cut off)

bootloader version 4.5.22250.0(129966)

after HTC update for windows phone patch

firmware version=2250.21.51003.531

radio software version=5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U

bootloader version 5.10.2250.0(132968)

After reverting back

firmware version= 2250.21.40503.531

radio software version=5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U

bootloader version 5.10.2250.0(132968)

I gonna double post this to the mac resetting forum also which wasn't created when this started.

Update cabs for HD7 to enable Tethering and 7740

7740 - http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._2cb1bfdd82133914239b8ee1a78e61e9000d124a.cab

HTC Firmware update (brands as T-Mobile) - http://download.windowsupdate.com/m..._4facc62888439b51d0ccce67ba7c93ddbc8f3e37.cab

So far on XBMOD's rom i can no longer use the logo and globalization cabs using cab sender due to it reporting the cabs as not needed on this system.

I am sure this would be a simple work around but for nowe your phone will be T-Mobile branded and not be able to debrand (until xbmod or someone is able to update cabs).
[Windows Phone 7 General] honzah:
Thank you... I hope that they get the unbranded internet sharing out soon...
[Windows Phone 7 General] satchef1:
UK Vodafone Trophy, updated yesterday with Internet Sharing. Happy days.

Hope it comes soon for all of you on unbranded phones!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Magpir:
Reverting in zune does not restore the earlier firmware, it only restores to earlier version like for example, mango down grade to nodo. But the firmware numbers remain since the last time u installed the " htc update" .

This is the case since nodo.

But now with spl 5.0 , cant even revert the os. It seems Microsoft does not want u to use nodo
[Windows Phone 7 General] blade-jac:
Still no updates on unbranded phone, is everyone else still waiting or just me :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I am waiting as well. Still no update for my unbranded HD7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] agalvan:
Still waiting as well..... I've just about lost hope that unbranded phones will be updated.

Anyone know if the current T-Mobile tethering ROM is available to flash? Last I checked no one had posted it. I'd rather not use a modified ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alan1985:
I'm in exactly the the same boat. Unbranded Europe HD7, no sign of an update to 7740 :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ttblondey:
Is there a way we can force update like 7720.
[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
JFYI, Enable internet sharing update is a HTC update, the 7740 is a small update from MS to fix some small issues
[Windows Phone 7 General] lobbie1978:
Still no Internet sharing for HTC HD7

Still no firmware update via Zune which enables Internet Sharing on my European unbranded HTC HD7 :(

I managed to install the 7740 update manually, but I'm still waiting for the new firmware. No one got the .cab file yet?
[Windows Phone 7 General] stryker09:
Just got the update from HTC for 7740. Mozart.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bjgr:
Just got the update now (7.10.7740.16), unbranded HD7 16GB Asia in Norway. Maybe the firmware update from HTC will follow.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Snake.:
got the update, no update afterwards however. IO also works
[Windows Phone 7 General] agalvan:
I received the 7740 update on my unbranded HD7. Still no ICS update. I just emailed them asking for some information on the update; hopefully I hear something positive back from them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] blade-jac:
ditto , just got 7740 (at last).

Just connection sharing to go !!!!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
question, i dont want to apply the internet sharing update until htc has already a fix to the mac address issue and the ics update notification is getting a little annoying lol. say if there will be a new update from MS (like 7740) will i still get it even if there is this pending htc update (internet sharing)?will zune provide an option to choose what update i want to apply to my phone or will also give an option to bypass an update which i dont need like internet sharing and go to the next update in line?thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 7 General] hidden_hunter:
I asked Telstra, they have no news on the update :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] Alan1985:
Anyone with an unbranded HD7 had the htc/tethering update yet? I've had the 7740 update, but no sign of anything else yet. Seems a bit backwards that the branded phones get updates first!

[Windows Phone 7 General] Alan1985:
Yeah, that's the same details as mine. Good to know I'm not on my own, but why would they be reviewing it? Surely the branded ones which have had the update, will be using htc's drivers/firmware?!
[Windows Phone 7 General] daysleeper26:
I'm not sure if this issue is caused by the random MAC address changes, but since upgrading my Trophy I'm having wi-fi has issues.

I don't do MAC filtering on any of the networks i'm using.

Wi-fi connects fine, but often won't transmit any data, so I can try and load a webpage but it will just sit and load then fail.

Sometimes turning wi-fi off and on again works, other times a device reboot is needed and it will work again for a while.

Anyone else experiencing similar?

I've submitted a ticket to HTC support (mostly to make them aware) but we've got to the stage where they want me to hard reset the device, given it was a bug introduced in the last update I'm not convinced it will help.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jake VirtualVault™:

NEW HD7 Update

I already got the update for the internet sharing when this update came out. I just plugged my HD7 to my pc, and zune software opens up, and it is telling me I have an update available, anyone else getting this new update?
[Windows Phone 7 General] agalvan:
This is great news that unbranded phones are finally getting the update. I'm in the US and have yet to get the update but I'm sure it's just a matter of time now.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] vchr:
I have contacted HTC support about the HD7 MAC address change issue following every phone restart, that appeared after the Internet sharing update. Their advice was to return to factory settings, of course loosing all personal data. I did so, but it did not help! The MAC address still changing after every restart (the last 3 octects actually). I have contacted HTC again and they advised to send my phone for repair.

I will not do this of course ... Now I am restoring to pre-Internet sharing firmware (2250.21.40502.401) via Zune. My opinion is that HTC guys are not reliable at all! They released a firmware update without doing all the required tests!
