I'm using the new Mango Update on my HTC Trophy and i recognized that it is not possible to change the sideload value anymore.
Is there still a way for it?
I'm waiting for this too.
To edit the sideload limits on mango beta
Hi guys.
For HTC phones:
1)you'll have to restore to NoDo.
2)use the CustClear.provxml + HTC Connection Setup method
reeg's thread details the steps.
Just make sure that after you download htc connection setup from the marketplace, you run it once too.
cheers!
But anyway, Zune will restore to its original value not long after that.
If you have mango unlocked already you can just run the provxml I have in one of my later posts. With HTC connection setup within mango.

AND after copying CustClear.provxml to \Windows do NOT run connection setup before device is updated to mango. Because connection setup deletes CustClear.provxml after execution.

asking.... who got aanswers....?
Does it by any chance delete the provxml file *before* executing all the commands in it? If so, you could put two copies of the file on your phone, and have the "live" one (CustClear) copy and rename the "backup" one to the live name. That only works if the file is deleted before its commands are excuted though - which probably isn't the case.
So does this work if I have an officially developer unlocked nodo device? I am currently running mango developer unlocked officially as well but I would like to have the sideload limit removed, and from what I'm reading I would need to basically restore back to NoDo and then place the provxml file using touchxplorer since I cannot side load anything in mango since I have reached the limit already and it also seems like touchxplorer is not working in mango either?
Btw I have an HTC Arrive with Sprint which is CDMA, does the provxml hack work on CDMA phones?

Not yet. I had a long battle with it, you can search for my posts on here.
It is all about the htc connection database for carriers. I couldn't fake one properly and never got past that message. Trying other carriers hosed my data connection.

so you are saying the provxml hack using the HTC Connection Setup to unlock mango and remove the sideload limit doesnt work on the HTC Arrive? I already have a developer account and can unlock my HTC Arrive on both nodo and mango, and in nodo all homebrew apps work and I can load as many as I want by editing the sideload limit registry key, the only thing I need is to remove the sideload limit on mango as per this thread (dont really need the unlock as I can do it officially with my developer account but apparently it keeps Zune from resetting the max sideload limit back down):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150633
I just dont want to have to downgrade back to nodo install touchexplorer, htc connection setup, and the provxml and then upgrade back to Mango and run the connection setup so that it removes the sideload limit. Basically what I need is a way to run TouchXplorer in Mango without installing it first in Nodo

Yes I am definitely interested in Mango being unlocked for all homebrew, but what I really want to know is if I downgrade back to Nodo, officially developer unlocked, install touchxplorer and HTC Connection setup with the provxml then update back to Mango and run HTC connection setup, will I still have the sideload limit on my HTC Arrive? or does the provxml remove the sideload limit and unlock work on the HTC Arrive?

provxml does not work for arrive. get it to work and PLEASE DO SHARE HOW! I posted a link above that detailed how far I got trying to get it to work on the arrive.
the only way for us sprint users is to wait for the homebrew hack to enable reg edits again, etc.
This is such a bummer, I really just need that sideload limit removed as three apps is pretty much nothing and going back and forth between NoDo and Mango just to sideload is too much of a hassel. Hopefully someone can solve this soon. I wonder if there are any other HTC Apps that access the registry that work on the Arrive maybe with some sort of xml file as well that we can edit the same way as the HTC Connection Setup?
let me clear on this.
provxml and htc connection method is WORKS on 74xx and 76xx but NOT on my 7712
ive tried this method third times, gotta roll back to nodo each time i tried.
i also need to get rid of this sideload limit. desperately.
please if anyone have a suggestion

Then you probably aren't doing something correctly, because it works just fine for me. Check whatever entries you are trying to edit, and try again.
Looks like someone posted the fix earlier as well.

hi all,
I bought a samsung omnia 7 from ebay and it's got the 7003 build.
the nodo update didn't came till now. I've tried all the posibilities to update to nodo , but no luck. i've observed that most of the posibilities to update are for the build 7004. is there a way to install build 7004 on my phone?
thanks.
Did you try the special upgrade tool Microsoft just released a few days ago? I thought that was designed for this purpose.
check out the stick thread named "get nodo right now" or something like that
worked for my omnia
i've tried every posibility except the rom tools and still no update.
i cannot do anything with the method from thread "get nodo right now" because when I start the command application I select a language and after that the applications exits without any message.
Do you think that if I install another ROM with this method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973420 .. it will help me?

You are in a much better position than the rest of us 7003ers. Fortunately, there have been Omnia 7 rom leaks so you should be able to easily flash any 7004 rom; from there you can go on to NoDo with minimum problems.
i will try to flash a new rom and see what hapens..
Thanks
i've tried to flash a rom with the WP7 downloaded application but it says "not a retail device".

I'm having the exact same problem with a Samsung Focus.
-Bought it on eBay, and don't live in the US - so I can't bring it to an AT&T store.
-Won't detect updates via Zune
-Windows Phone Support Tool doesn't recognise that the phone is in the "connect to PC" state
This really blows. To top if off, there are no ROMs available for the Focus yet. I think I'll just have to wait until they become available.

Yes! I'm finally off 7003, thanks to the ROM posted in the Focus developer section. I initially viewed it with scepticism as nobody else had success with it, but then again, nobody else was having the same problem as me - a Focus stuck on 7003.
My phone must be a developer device. I didn't even know that developer Focuses (Focii?) existed. The ROM shows up in WP7 Downloader as "WP7_ENGINEER", and users with retail devices couldn't flash with that image.

I've now moved from 7003 to 7390 thanks to the ROM flash procedure. It worked flawlessly.

Okay, I'm trying to update to 7740 using ansar's (again) but Zune keeps bugging me to update to the latest HTC drivers . How in the world do I make those annoying HTC Driver updates go away?
Wow, 191 views and not a single response. Okay, is there a reg edit maybe that will fix the disappearing keyboard vs having to update maybe?
Install hd2 tool kit if you haven't already done so, this will reinstall your hd2 drivers in case you're missing something.

In any case, it probably is giving that message because you are missing some htc driver or corrupt.

use ansars U2M8107.xap. tap on the donotu2htc and then dev unlock / exit then use connection setup and then restart your device (soft reset - power off power on)then go to your pc and delete the relationship between the pc and phone. reset your pc, or try to uninstall reinstall your Zune and try again, and on the pairing beetween pc and phone it should skip the update. because the U2M8107 changes the firmware slightly, it changes only the name to a more updated version, so that zune thinks it is up to date!

Thanks but all it did was kill my 3G like always. Luckily I have a back up this time.
do you have acces to the registry? you could find the settings of where the phone model, celular operator, bla bla bla and such things are, there stays also the frimware revision, just find the next firmware what should be after that update, type that in and zune should not ask any more because it thinks then you have this update
you are getting notified to update on the DFT rom?
or have you not flashed that/not on it anymore?
Hello.
I cant update my HTC TITAN to 8773.
I have tried the disconnect trick and successfully update to 8112.
But when i to the trick again and get the update 8773 the update fails when Zune at step 7 fails to backup the phone. Nothing happans and finally the phone reboots and says that the update fails.
I have tried on 3 differint computors but no luck.
When i try the cab method (if I understoud it correctly) I also get failed.
Se print for error code. It says that I dont got any space on the phone but I have plenty 8gb free. I have also tried to reset ´phone to factory defaults but the same error. What to do?
Error:800705B4
And now when I open som installed appz on the phone nothing happens, only get a black screen and I have to press the "back" buttom in order to get the the program to start correctly.
Try installing this update: http://www.htc.com/www/help/htc-titan/#download
It is meant to fix the Zune updating errors for the HTC Titan

The only thing I can think of doing is to try and roll back to the previous version via Zune, No guarantees though, Sorry I cannot help other than that :-(
Is your phone a Branded Carrier handset? ie: at&t ? I would imagine if it is then at&t will have their own version of the update which of course you will have to wait for them to push it to your phone.

No my phone is not Branded (if you mean that my phone is looked to a cirten operator?).

Can I get some kind of standard bakup from somwere?
Now that's a bummer, Strange there is no option to revert back to 8112 or even 8107, Did you hard reset after 8112? maybe worth a try.
Check the Titan (2011) forums and use search if you cannot find anything relevant.

Its the version 8112 i got installed, but no option to revert to older version or previesly backup.
I have tried the hard reset 3 times allready but no luck
The phone also acts strange when i open apps, nothing happens only black background you then need to press back in order for the app to respond and open the program.
Ohh whant to have the old mango again
I have tried serching and found some problem look alike but no sollutions.
Edit: I have now installed "Dynamics7 v1.21 - Tango 8779, Full unlock" instead and the phone works nicely and is very fast
Last night both Zune and my phone notified me that there was an update to 7.10.8112.7 .
I've tried searching around, but I can't find much. Is it safe to update? (ie Will I lose my unlock?)
I have a Samsung Focus S currently on 7.10.8107.79.
Bump?

Thanks for testing it out for everyone! Sorry that your phone got relocked lol.
the ability to deply XML files through the exploit is only stopped with the samsung firmware update, not the initial OS update, so yes you can do it
what tango does do is phone home to turn off your dev lock, you will need to have that disabled before you connect it up to the net

the update is actually very useful and is worth getting, all you need to do is firstly make sure you have a backup of your OS, then ensure that dev/interop unlock works, debranding, dev relock fix etc, all those wee xml updates are applied, then you can apply the update, that will give you the benefits of the newer firmware and keep the device unlocked
you can then revert to you old backup when you need to next apply an OS update, reapply the xml unlocks, make a new backup in its updated UNLOCKED state, the apply the firmware update again.
Thanks for the info guys. I'm fairly new to WP7, so I have no idea how to back anything up. I probably won't try updating unless someone has a step by step guide up. I'd rather not accidentally get stuck locked.
If you update through Zune, a backup is automatically created. You don't have to do anything at all, except install the update using the "primary" computer that the phone is synced with. You may want to save your old backup first, though, if you've updated your phone previously; got to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in Windows Explorer and rename the "Windows Phone Update" folder so it doesn't get overwritten.
