problems with 7720 update keeps asking to restore to previous - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I managed to get up to the beta version of 7712, when i proceed to the next step to upgrade to mango, it goes through the motions, i've made sure i've signed in to zune by the way, and exited when doing this.
So it goes through the motions, says phone resetting, then the DOS screen goes off for short while. Then after a short while it opens zune up and says the stuff about agreeing to restore to a previous version!
I just wanted to check to see if this is supposed to happen or if anyone else has come across this and found a way to resolve this? Was i supposed to of unplugged the phone once the DOS screen went off? Or was i right to wait for zune beta to open up? Just wondering if anyone else has come across this and maybe resolved it?
When i unplug the phone and switch it back on its still on 7712?
Thanks for your help on this

Windows Phone 7 Error Code: C101002E

I have been having this error where the phone prevents itself from booting, showing a screen that tells you to connect to PC , for a while. Only way to fix it is to remove the battery and restart but that is just a temporary fix. What exactly is this? What causes it? Is it a software issue or a hardware issue? Should I get an exchange or do you guys think this will be fixed with the next update?
Thanks
Never seen that error message. I'd say reset once, if you see it again, get it exchanged.
Yea this my 4th HD7 it shows the error code when you plug it to the PC in zune. Funny thing is that I owned a speck case and I reboot the phone in the case till then. This time i pulled the battery out, put it back in and powered the phone on without the case and it is working fine. I guess the case is pushing down a button or sth and that prevents the phone from working properly. Very weird..
Hey there! I've been having the same error! This is my 2nd HD7, I own the Speck case and I do not think its the case. This issue is happening on mine with or without the case. Pulling out the battery just doesn't cut it. I have to:
1. Remove the battery
2. Plug the USB Charger
3. Insert the battery back
4. Turn on.
I love the phone but this is really frustrating!
Edit: Too bad I can't post the link to youtube due to member status. But the video is up just search for it "c101002e"
Just happened to me too. First day using the Speck case too and i let the battery drain till it died and upon reboot it showed the 'plug into computer' screen. Hope it is just the case causing problems.
did you all updated the sd card ?
you could try to reflash this rom (if you are on t-mobile USA ) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=810346
Take this one "RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.20.531.01_Radio_5.51.09.11a_2 2.31.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE"
its just the stock tmous rom .
Weird coincidence that all of y'all are using the same case. Maybe it is damaging on of the buttons?

somewhere on the board they did tell that this case make the buttons really sensitive and it make the phone unusable .
theres a thread on tmobiles forums talking about the same issue, and most if not all the people there have the speck case. Someone says they tested it with and without the case and came to conclusion that the case is putting too much pressure on the camera button, which seems to be causing the problem.
would post the link to the other forum but i cant find it lol

Yea that was pretty much what was happening to mine. Although I remember trying to boot it without the case and having the same error before so what I did that I did a hard reset ( press power and both volume buttons at the same time) then when the phone booted, I rebooted it without the case immediately and its been working no problem since. I am pretty sure that case pushes the camera button since it grips the phone very tightly. I even overloaded the ram by opening lots of apps that runs in the background and then rebooted but it is working perfectly fine as of right now. Weird.. I am guessing its just a weird bug not a hardware defect.
I found it in a post in the mozart forums, so i tried it, as you do, cause its something new to play with cause my TP2 didnt like swimming, but anyway it was something about hoding down the camera button while power on, and it brought up a picture of a phone and cable and instructing you to plug it into a pc and when i did it started Zune and something about restoration error, so like in the previous posts it may be a stuck or faulty button somewhere on the phone that is causing it.
i didnt watch the video so if that had it in it never mind
cheers
Today 11 April 2011 I got notification about NoDo update for my phone.
It is HTC Mozart on Orange France network.
The pre-NoDo update was istalled about 20 days before.
The update got stuck at step 8. It seemed I had an unusable phone. In a periodic reboot mode into the update screen.
I checked on my W7 64 bit laptop the relevant backup folder, where all my phone data was supposed to have gotten backed up during the update. The folder was empty.
I therefore realized my phone got its rom corrupted during the update and I could not get back my pre-NoDo backup, since this latter was missing from my laptop.
Zune was on no help, stating a C101002E error.
The Windows Phone Support Tool was also of no use, reporting an error code while trying to restore my data.
XDA-forum provided me with a solution:
I went here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000781
and downloaded both bootloaders with relative roms.
After getting into the bootloader screen (red, green and blue screen), I installed the first ROM provided by Ansar. This could not install succesfully.
With the bootloader tool I could nevertheless confirm my idea I did not have anymore a functioning rom into my phone.
The second rom, the one ending with "Signed_by_ansar" could be succesfully installed.
I now have a Mozart fully functioning.
I had to restore my windows live account, Gmail, etc. My apps did not come back up after syncing with Zune.
I realized I just lost all my SMSs and home screen settings.
My phone was originally network unlocked and remained as such.
I got a notification that there is an official update for my phone the first time I rebooted. I will wait before attempting this update. The ROM by Ansar has got anyway copy/paste, being a NoDo ROM.
The ROM from Ansar, although for Orange France, removes the Orange splash screen when the phone starts. I guess if I need to use warranty on this phone right now I may have some issues with Orange France. Maybe when I update the phone following the update notification I got, I will re-establish a fully certified Orange ROM.
i9o pls and any one pls help me , i faced problem with [260] connection problem between my hd7 and pc vista 64 bit, actually i followed to steps in forum (error code C101002E) and drivers were installed (htc usb sync) before i started to flash rom NoDo bootloader 1, But no way still the problem [260]. i also tried another RUU htc asia xxx707xxx. because i have spl 1.23.2250.0(112138).also some links of RUU to download signed by ansar disappeared in rapid and other sourses, pls help to solve connection problem

Do you know what this tool does to the computer?
I would try it but honestly don't want to do it before I have info what it does to my PC settings. Unfortunately MS doesn't share with this knowledge.
Hi everyone!
I have a big problem with my new hd7.
Just bought, and wired for the very first charging but the phone continues to restart by itself.
Tried a hard reset, to set it in download mode and fix with Windows Phone Support Tool but still nothing to do. Even tried to install a new ROM but at the first start it continues with its loop.
In download mode zune tried to upgrade to nodo but it shows the error C101002E.
Don't know what else to do. Any idea? It's new!

[Q] Error Code: 80072EFD

I have HTC MOZART, NODO Build, unbranded in indonesia.
Now my question is, once every 2-3 weeks, I got his kind of error. Basically The internet connection is gone when this happens, and I cannot update anything, unless of course I connect to zune in my laptop and use usb for internet connection shared from the laptop.
The only way to fix this AFAIK is by restarting the device (or remove the battery, and put back in)... hold the on button until off and turn on again is suffice though....
I dont mind restarting the phone within that interval, it is just weird and I tried to google and looked it up everywhere, I have not got the right explanation. Restarting the phone WORKS every time btw.
Anybody knows what this error is?
UPDATE:
I see that many others experience this and still no answer

Samsung Focus stuck on Omnia ROM

So let's start this thread by saying I was stupid.
In my desperation to upgrade my ROM I went and flashed my Focus with the new Omnia engineering rom. Stupid yes but it flashed. The reason I did it was non of the Samsung focus retail Roms would flash with the WP7 flashing tool not even the jK2 ROM. Which is suppose to be the basic 7004 ROM.
Every time I flashed it would say "This Rom does NOT match the device" or "this device is NOt retail."
So let me just state I had the "RTM Mango" flash on my device already flashed and worked. I was trying to upgrade the firmware and radio stacks. The phone aways worked and was NOT a demo device.
I have tried to flash:
1. jK2 stock Rom same error as above
2. Rom for v1.4 won't work same error as above
3. Rogers Rom on my AT&T focus same error as above.
Basically the only rom that flashed was the engineering rom for the Omnia.
Now the phone boots (with a Omnia splash screen ) I can get it to download mode I can even use the phone just none of the buttons work! I really just want to get a Samsung focus rom back on don't care if it's not Mango at the moment.
My questions:
1. Anyone got an engineering rom for the focus seems to be the only Roms that can load on my device
2. Anyone got some advise to get it back to a Samsung focus rom?
I know I shouldn't have but it's done and can't cry over spilt milk.....
I would really appreciate the help.
I'm not sure what you mean by Jk2's rom, but have you tried the 1.3 version, not rogers?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131022
this thread has rogers, att 1.4 and att 1.3, all for focus. Ive successfully flashed my 1.3 focus several times. Also, in this thread they talk about how flashing 1.4 is always iffy.
Best way to get back to a Focus ROM is probably to restore a backup that was taken when you upgraded the phone. I hope you can still connect the phone to the Zune software? If so, try that.
The Omnia has physical buttons, the Focus uses capacitive buttons only (for the front three). I'm not surprised the drivers are different.
Did you by any chance use a hack to get NoDo on the phone? The "debranding" hack shouldn't prevent flashing, but will result in you receiving a different ROM from the upgrade servers than was quite meant for your phone. Chris Walsh's update hack did not install the full set of update packages it should have, resulting in what has become known as a "Walshed" phone. Walshed phones, because they're kind of partway between updates, can't receive further updates. A tool was later released to fix a Walshed phone.
The fact that the Focus ROMs wouldn't flash but the Omnia onw would is quite odd; I'm not sure what would cause that.
If at all possible, I recommend restoring your phone to a retail configuration using a Zune backup, and them trying the official update path again. Only once you've exhausted your options there should you try anything else.

Firstly thank you for the time you took to reply.
Yes the history of this device is quite a lengthy one. I did do a NODO hack to get it to NODO. I then used the internal MS bits leaked to the net to force it to Mango. I was picking up some funnies like no matter how quick or soft I pressed the back button it would go into multi tasking making the phone impossible to use.
So I looked and researched and found my firmware, bootloaders etc were way out of date. I flashed the Omnia rom onto the Focus in hope that it was the same phone but alas its to late now......
Ok so when I connect it to the PC Zune picks it up all dandy but as a new phone - Omnia not my old focus. Is there a way to trick it into thinking its my Focus?
The phone functions in the sense that it boots, I can use it just don't have any buttons to use it with. All the screen functions work perfectly.
I will download Walsh tool to un Walsh the phone and try again...
I really appreciate the help!
I don't think you can "trick" it into seeing it as your Focus, because from a software perspective, it just isn't. However, the restore points (backups) are tied to the hardware, not the software. To see if you can restore one, first check in Window Explorer at the path %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\ and see how big the contents of that folder are. There should be hundreds of meg to a few gigs, depending on how big the backup is.
Now, that's only going to be the most recent restore point. If you made backups of your earlier restore points, you can send the phone even further back, hopefully to before quite so many things get messed up. However, each time you do an update with Zune it overwrites the location where the previous restore point was. Note that if you installed any updates through a mecanism other than Zune, for example usign the WPSHIFT tool that was used for the beta, it probably took a backup but might have put it in a different location (often in TEMP, which hopefully you haven't cleaned out).
If you have Volume Shadow Copies enabled on your PC (Vista/Win7/any recent Server), you may be able to use the Previous Versions feature to pull an older restore point than the most recent one, or to recover a restore point if it was deleted for some reason. Be careful, though - old shadow copies are deleted as space is needed for other things, but they aren't deleted atomically; it's possible you'll pull only half of an old restore point or something equally silly (they're made up of hundreds or thousands of small files).
Once you've got your restore point, I strongly recommend making a backup of it by copying the folder! Then, connect your phone and start Zune, and go to Settings -> Device -> Update. It'll probably say there aren't any updates available, that's fine. In the same part of the window where it says that, though, there should be an option to restore a backup (it'll give the date of the backup and a restore button). If that button isn't visible, re-copy the restore point over the location where Zune expected to find it (%localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\), and check for updates again.
As for the un-Walshing tool, it probably won't do anything on your OmniaFocus. It may fix the problem if you successfully use a restore point (and get back to a pure Focus), though. There's a good chance that the last restore point you have will be from right before you began the Mango update process, in which case your phone will be back in its Walshed state, ready for un-Walshing using the tool.
I hope that helps. If you do decide to try flashing again (if you don't have a restore point, this is probably the only option), make sure you're using a ROM for your hardware revision of the Focus. There are two, the 1.3 revision (the first one released), and the 1.4 revision (released later, identical except it uses a different Flash memory chip internally and therefore has different drivers). If you bought your phone any time in 2011, it could be either a 1.3 or a 1.4. There are a few ways to check, but one of the best (since your software is currently messed up) is to look under the battery. There's a sticker that should say soemthing like "rev1.3/rev1.4". You need to match that revision number when selecting a ROM to flash, or (even if it works) you wouldn't be able to access the phone's internal storage.
It seems a little unlikely to me, but it's possible that Walshing your phone made it report itself as an Omnia, thus the reason you could flash that ROM (but not the Focus ones). I'd expect that to be based on lower-level hardware checks, though.

Thank you for the reply!
So looks like I am screwed. I looked for the backup and nothing on my machine even tried volume shadow copy and nothing in the Windows Phone Update folder.
I might have to try create a USB JIG to force a flash onto the phone. That should work right? That should flash which ever ROM I like regardless of the checks that things like WP7 Downloader do?
I would appreciate the guidance before I go ahead and build the USB JIG.
PS _ Anyone know what files are inside the backup folder maybe I can search windows for those and find the back up folder somewhere
The updates are usually stored here:
"C:\Users\%YOUR_USER%\Local Settings\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\"
Either search for a "RestorePoint" folder (without quotes) or "Data.0.dat" "Data.1.dat" etc files

I have similar problem except mine is stuck on the samsung logo screen so cannot connect to zune.
I am trying to flash this engineering ROM that seemed to work for you, but it keeps saying Error!! "This Device does NOT match with selected binary. Downloader will NOT do anything" and thus the flash will nto complete.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried the retail roms (check the general forum there is a sticky with the retail roms) if you getting the error "This device does not match with the selected binary" with the flasher it could be one of two things:
1. Your device is not an engineering device and you need to use the right retail rom.
2. Which version of the WP7 Downloader tool are you using 7.05, 7.21 or 7.41?
For the retail ROM you should use 7.05
For the engineering ROM you should use 7.41.
7.41 comes with the new leaked Samsung OMNIA 7 ROM (Do a search for that rom) DO NOT FLASH (like I did ) the OMNIA ROM onto your focus it will not work.
The other question is if your phone is stuck on the "SAMSUNG" screen can you get it into DOWNLOAD mode (Turn the phone off, then hold CAM + VOL DOWN and POWER) It should then turn on and go into DOWNLOAD MODE. The WP7 tool will only see the phone is in DOWNLOAD MODE. From what you telling us with the error above you are getting into DOWNLOAD MODE but just confirm.
IMO if you can still get into DOWNLOAD MODE not all is lost.
I already have flashed the omnia ROM onto my phone that is why I am in this problem. I have reflashed the focus ROm but it is frozen on the logo screen no matter what I do.
Seems like this engineering ROM fixed it for the lad who created this post, so I might give it a try, what do you think?
Yes I can get the phone into download mode & also the format mode (it doesn't do anything though), I cannot connect the phone to zune because it freezes on the logo screen before launch. Also I have 7.03, 7.05, & 7.21 and have tried all of them thus far, did not know of the 7.41.
So 7.41 and flash the engineering rom? It sounds like you have some ideas, please share it would be greatly apreciated.

Ok so you need to download the latest Samsung Omnia 7 ROM it will have the WP7 Downloader 4.21. Thats the only one that will flash the engineering ROM onto the device.
Zune will not pick up the phone till it completely boots so Zune wont help you in this case. You have to try and fix it using your WP7 downloader(s).
This is the link I used to get the Downloader: http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011/10/15/update-your-samsung-omnia-7-to-the-latest-i8700xxki3-firmware-now/
Good luck!
Engineering ROM did not work, still frozen on samsung logo screen, something is definitely broken on the phone that will not let it get past this point and I have no idea. Seems like no one else knows either as no one has been able to solve this for over 7 months.
If anyone thinks they can solve this please suggestions are welcomed. If you need more details please let me know. If someone can fix this I'd be willing to paypal them real cash no joke.
Much thanks to myphonerules for helping!
If I call samsung and complain will they tell me i'm out of luck? I got the phone off ebay so its not covered by anything.

You sure you don't have a DEMO phone? Has it ever worked on a GSM network?
No its not a demo phone, i used the phone with my AT&T SIM card for few days. Then i put in a 32mb microsd card and after 24 hours it reset into a gimped mode with only 15 mb where i couldn't do anything and had no at&t apps on it strangly also. I flashed the samsung omnia 7 ROM onto the phone and would not load past the omnia 7 load screen. Then I flashed the focus ROM (it wasn't available originally) back and it would not load past the samsung screen. By this point I really just think the phone is completely done.
Any suggestions? or think its garbage?
I'm debating buying a focus with broken screen off ebay and using the screen from this one to replace it and bam pretty much new phone.
Is there a way to get a convert a non retail focus to retail? Is there a retail ROM available for the focus that can be flashed on the non retail version?

[Q] Re install an update

Does anyone know of a way to reinstall an update?
I have the latest version of mango for my dell venue pro and would like to just reinstall the update on top of the current update.
Is this possible?
I didn't seen an option in zune to do it.
Thanks,
So is there any way to go back an update then? I reset my phone but it still says i have mango installed.
Might i ask, why are you trying to reinstall the update?
and have you tried to do a hard reset of the device?

yes i have hard reset the device, but it still says i have the same version.
The reason is, I'm having 3g problems and DELL told me i have to reinstall the latest update before they would help any further.
I guess i could just lie to them and say i did. idk, dell = dumb
After Hard-Reset, You're still having issues with 3g?
What kind of issues?
-- I'm not the most technical person when it comes to WP7, but I sure as hell don't mind helping someone if possible.
I'm currently doing some research for you.
I dont have a data connection when i'm connected with a 3g signal. Like i can have 1 bar or 5 and it wont connect. I just reset it a few hours ago so i haven't had a lot of time to play with it, (stupid boss expects me to do work at work for some silly reason)
It happens about 60 or 70 percent of the time. Its supper annoying. I normally have to go to settings and disable my 3g connection and re enable it or restart my phone for it to work.
Have you previously, or currently done a "break" on the device? If so, what kind?
whats a "break"
Interop break, jailbreak, etc...
ps. only way i could find to "reinstall" the os... is doing a hard-reset.
yeah thats what i came up with. Well I'll just see how it runs now that i reset it.
Thanks
No problem, wish I could help further.

HELP needed. Galaxy 8+ MobileIron lock out.

Sorry if this is in the wrong location but it's been a long time since I've been here and everything looks different with the forum, lol. I couldn't find anything after searching the forum so making this post.
Here's my issue. I have a very old Galaxy S8+ issued by my employer. I left the company back in Jan 2020. Since then my son has been using the phone at the house to play games on and watch YouTube, etc. Whenever it would get running too slow I would just do a factory reset to clean everything out and my son was good to go again. UNTIL YESTERDAY. I did a factory reset like usual but when it restarted and I began the initial set up like you do with a new phone I got a message after connecting to my WiFi that "This device is managed by your organization". It then had a pop up for username/password for MobileIron. Never got that before so only thing I can think is that my old company started using this MDM software sometime between the last time I did a reset and yesterday. I don't have any sign in creds as I don't work for them anymore. Rebooted into "safe mode" to uninstall the app but cannot because the option is grayed out.
Is there any way to root this phone and get rid of the MDM software or install a ROM or something so that the phone is usable again? Obviously, I can't boot the phone up either than in "safe mode" Or is the thing a paperweight now. Just wanted to check before I chuck it in the trash. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I just saw my signature. LMAO! I think it's a little outdated.
