Hi all,
I'm a new owner of a samsung omnia 7 and im trying to install mango build 7720 with no luck. When i open the provision program, after clicking agree I get a white screen with not text. I've been waiting for something to come for 2 hours now. I can sync with zune, so I don't know what the problem is. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks in advance
Great phone!!!
A few things, maybe...
If phone is not 'unlocked', either as a developer or using 'Chevron Method', it won't work. There is a provisioning version that bypasses the unlock requirement. It's on these forums somewhere. Use search..
Is the 'UpdateWP' exe installed??? If not, install it!!!
Anyway, hope this helps.
This happens because you have the wrong zune version installed.
Uninstall i t and reinstall the one with the first Mango release , this solved this issue for me.
With my omnia 7, different problem:
- i have to reboot manually the first time and enter manually in update mode (power camera volup)
- two steps are done and then the next phone reboot gives me an error and the phone is still at previous state

An update presented itself, i installed it, it rebooted "device authentication failure blah blah blah.
so now how do i get a new rom back on here?
i fixed it by putting phone in bootloader with camera comm and reset
loading new software now.
DON'T USE WINDOWS UPDATE, NOT FUN

I'm having the same problem. I'm new to this and managed to load a WM6 rom with some pluses onto my wizard. I managed to get the bootloader screen. I haven't been able to do anything with bootloader screen (now or in the past)
What do I do now?
Interesting post. Does anyone know what the content of this update could be? Also moving to WM6.
It said it was a security update. I'm guessing it is similar to windows genuine advantage

hm, there is another possible update, but not a security one. Microsoft issued an update regarding the DST 07 change (USA/Canada).. I installed it manually, but possibly they have an automated update for this..
it is the automated update from within Windows Mobile. It is in the Settings screen.
Still stuck
Okay! Good News!
After trying many various things from Vista and XP I finally got something to work.
First, history of my phone. It is an O2 XDA mini s branded HTC Wizard (duh) that HAD a german O2 rom on it. I purchased this phone well over two years ago through a GSM importer. They reflashed it with an English O2 rom. So the keyboard was all wonky (fixed that) Then I flashed it with a Tmobile rom. Had some problems here and there. Somehow while I was using File Explorer the device hung while I was in the Windows folder. I reset the device and the Windows folder disappeared. It did some very strange things but the phone part worked, nothing else. Activesync and Windows Mobile Device Center would not recognize the device (not connect)
After much trial and error I finally got the Tmobile rom to work (downloaded it from their site)
THEN I flashed a WM6 rom (LOVED IT)
DO NOT DO WHAT I DID!!!!
On the device under settings, I turned on Windows Updates, the first thing it downloaded was a security update (on the phone, not PC) Then promptly killed my phone with a B&WSOD that said "Device Authentication Failure blah blah blah.
DO NOT DO THAT!!!!
What I did to fix it
I placed it into bootloader mode with the device first off and then holding the camera button while pressing and holding the power button. THe three colored screen shows up.
Then I plugged it via usb to my Windows XP machine (Vista doesn't play well with others) and then ran the rom upgrade I downloaded from Tmobile.
It worked!
After that it was all automatic, the device reset it self and Activesync recognized it. Now I'm reflashing the WM6 rom.
Yay for the good guys.
SO the Tmobile rom is finally flashing my device now. brb to check status...
This is why I've removed the Windows update and other "phone home" stuff in the WM6 roms from the roms I build. I'm sure MS is always looking for ways of shutting down the custom roms found here (and elsewhere).
There is no reason to do an update (IMO) on a custom rom. Sure, there may be security holes, but remember you are not running an authorized version of WM6 on an authorized device.
I have previously upgraded to RWE wm6, now the official ATT upgrader says "you have a newer version of this software" and wont update to the latest ROM. Any suggestions to fool the updater and install official WM6 release?
Thanks in advance- this forum always amazes me!!
Is a simple edit of the payload file all thats needed here?

Awesome as always!! Thanks!!!!
Next question....Installer gets through initial phase, treo gets 4 dark colored bars, then connection is lost and install cant complete. I tried removing the SD card-no luck. Advice ?
Thanks again
I got the same problem , after the erase all data it just froze up ..... is it bricked. hopefully someone can help
I also had the same problem with my device but what i did is switch computers with Windows xp and with Activesync 4.5 that should do the trick
fixed
installed from XP instead of Vista...no problem at all. Appears Vista has trouble with recognizing the treo after loses activesync connection
seems my problem had to do with the unit, i did the sdupdater recovery tool from palm to no avail, finally i removed the battery and reinserted it and bam WM6 appeared after numerous attempt at upgrade and different ROMS tried. I asume the original upgrade got stuck and the removal of the battery, helped it finish. Who knows at least its not bricked
**Edit** Sorry just started reading the Rogers 2.2 update thread and can see a lot of people are having the same problem...guess I should have read through that first. Sorry. Will try out anything recommended in there first.
I have a Rogers Captivate, and I'm trying to update to the official Froyo that was just released today.
I've installed Kies version 1.5.3.10113_29 and it finds my phone just fine.
So it pops up to say hey there's a firmware update for your phone and I click on it. It tries to back up my contacts and fails "Failed to Load". Then shows the upgrade window. I click on upgrade and it goes to the first stage of the process "Caution". I hit All information has been verified and the Next and it goes to stage 2 'Information'. I hit Allow saving, (or Proceed without saving, it doesn't matter because i get the same result every time) then Next.
Then I'm greeted with a message saying "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I've tried every solution I can find and nothing works.
I'm running XP SP3. .NET framework is updated. I even went into the registry and created the Software/Samsung/FUS key that was recommended.
I'm ready to set my face on fire here does anyone have any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.
sideloading has suddenly stop working for me, the Chevron app shows that I am unlock but I keep receiving the same error as if the device had never been connected to my PC. the only thing that has changed to my system (PC) was the Mango update. I uninstalled and reverted back to the old zune software to in case it was the new update. I even started over with a different phone that is currently pre NoDo and still no luck. and no skype running

When you update to mango you had installed and the Windows Phone DevTools 7.1 beta
You must remove it and install the previous version with all the patches and updates as it was before mango to be able to sideload apps from your system again.
first of all, you will want to post the error code message and/or look for it to find some help.
also here we have the problem that sideloading does not work anymore, after mango update.
now, you say that another different phone is also not working?
interresting...
change usb port, or use another computer/ reinstall windows.
i maybe would try in vm too...

that is wrong
- i successfully downgraded to 7004, unlocked, protected, deployed & updated to nodo & mango with mango sdk 7.1 installed, i only used zune 4.7 because of backups...
also in the thread i mentiond someone already reinstalled sdk & zune and nothing has changed for him.
Hi,
I have a htc pro 7 bought in the uk and was running mango running the latest 5.11 bootloader, and i wanted to go to the newtech rom.
I downloaded RUU_Gold7Pro_HTC_Europe_5.11.401.02_Radio_5.71.09.02a_22.51.50.21U_NT_Mango_8107_22L_by_ansar (1)
and
RUU_Gold_7Pro_Europe_5.10.401.03_SLSPL_by_ansar
from the links in the forum and they downloaded completely.
I first powered into bootloader with vol down and then used the ROMUpdateUtility to flash the RUU_Gold_7Pro_Europe_5.10.401.03_SLSPL_by_ansar file which seemed to flash fine, the progress bar completed and phone ended up in the bootloader again.
Then following the instructions i went to the other file but when i ran the update utility this time it found the phone and tried to update but never got past 0% before prompting me that it failed after a 10minish wait.
I was able to pull the battery and turn on back into bootloader mode but when i tried flashing the second file again, it failed. (Should I be reflashing the first again every time too?)
I wondered if the package was faulty and so downloaded 7713_GOLD_USA_CHT_CHS_JPN_KOR(www.dft.so) package of the dft release but the same thing, stalls at 0%.
I am left in bootloader (attached pic) and before trying to go back to stock mango using the zune update would like to know if there is a way to get to (ideally) the intrinsic rom.
Many thanks for your help,
Edit:
Adding that I am using windows 7, will try xp on my old PC as soon as zune software can download....
Also is there a way to get out bootloader mode? as restarting just goes back into the bootloader again...?
Edit 2
Solved!
Solved!
Ok Sorted it in the end, It was my fault, I missed a step.
If anyone else gets this problem (and the error 262 in romutility to go with it) and you are left in bootloader 1.7 its simple.
My first steps were right, first flash RUU_Gold_7Pro_Europe_5.10.401.03_SLSPL_by_ansar
and then you get the bootloader, and you then have the 1.7 bootloader problem, but are NOT yet ready for custom roms!
you must then flash RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a_22.36.50.15U_by_ansar
(or similar) which will you give you a 1.22 radio.
From here you can then use the dft tool to get a rspl or hspl as needed, and from there you can then flash a custom rom.
I stupidly didn't realise and thought that the slspl replaced the downgrade, which it doesnt!
Glad I got that cleared up! Am now on the custom rom and all seems good!
Edit:
Exact same symptoms here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318726
Bootloader:SPL - 1.7.2250.0
MID: PC921000
my current Windows Phone 7 Version: 7.0.7392.0
wont appear in zune, wont flash with custom rom, gives error 262.
