[Q] Windows Phone Mango Upgrade Fail - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok my problem is I used the tool to upgrade my Windows Phone to mango beta 2 (build 7712) from NoDo. I then got a new computer. No longer having the old NoDo backup I cannot revert, but then Microsoft said you would not have to go back to NoDo. So I have tried multiple times, but everytime I try to upgrade to the RTM 7720. It fails at the end and gives me an error code 80180048 and then my phone is fine, but is still on 7712. I have also hard reset it and that didn't fix it either. Can anybody help with this?

I cannot help you.
I cannot help you, you are very smart, but I cannot help you. I am terrible sorry. I would help you if I could.

I am kinda looking for a somewhat better answer than that, but thank you anyway.

Look on the dedicated forum, or the wiki, for your phone. You'll find the various release ROMs. You can flash one of those ROMs to your phone to either put it back on NoDo or upgrade it to Mango directly. This will erase all content on your phone, but since you already tried a hard reset I'm guessing you won't mind.

Treo version

Hello everybody. I'm completely noob, so please have a little patience with me. I have a Treo 750 in italian, and my final goal is to flash it to wm6-english. But for start, i don't know what Treo i have. I read about Cingular, At&t, etc...
mine sais TREO750-1.16-H3I, h-ware version A, firmware version 1.27.0b.00.
So whom am i talking to every day? Is there a special version of wm6 for my phone?
I thought i'l start from here. Any help would be appreciated...
Ok... noone? At least tell me how I can figure if my phone is unlocked or unbrenched...
Or could someone point me to a tutorial-thread of flashing the phone... from the beginning to the end.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_WM6
Maybe you'll find something around here for the beginning, ...
Stupi ... it doesn't matter which Treo you have when it comes to flashing ROMs.
Just do the HardSPL first. That way you can pick the English language ROM of your choice to flash and it will work. You also get the benefit of unlocking the phone so it can be used on any GSM network.
Ideally, you'd be best to pick an English ROM provided by the same company that provides your cellular service, but it is not required. If you pick one from another cell company (or a hacked one) then you might have to enter your network settings manually, but that's the only difficult part.
Plenty of resources in this forum. Do some searching and you'll find everything you need. Good luck!
One question, thought... i could'n find the answer on the forum. I downloaded the unlocher, but it sais it only works with spl 1.11, at least... Mine is 0.22.
I tried then to update with RUU_Hermes_QTEK_WWE_2.11.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe, but in the "current information about your pda phone" it didn' recognize my pda. I got affraid of bricking it.
So, it seems to me my first problem is updating the spl from 0.22 to 1.11. But I cannot find the software to do this..
Come on men, this has to be simple. I need some help here, please. I'm stuck up with wm5 over a week now...
so, the first thimg I must do, a hard-spl, that's what I understood. This can be done with ceetah_unlocker.
Ok, i launch the application, and it sais it can't start only with 1.11 spl. Mine is 0.22.0000
So the first thing i have to do is update this 0.22 spl to 1.11. Am I right?
But how?
Find one of the WM6.0 desktop updaters and try installing that. They don't require a HardSPL first.
Use one of the following:
AT&T English: Treo750_2_25_ATT_EN_DesktopUpdater.zip
Rest of World English: Treo750_2_23_ROW_EN_DesktopUpdater.zip
Three Australia: Treo750_2_19_H3E_DesktopUpdater.zip
Vodaphone UK English: Treo750_2_18_VFU_DesktopUpdater.zip
I don't have any links as they aren't hosted by Palm anymore. You should be able to find them by looking around the XDA Forum, or by searching the net and/or torrent sites for the filenames above.
thanks a lot, man, but I lost my pathience and i run the cheetah_unlocker... and I didn't brick it. So, now I'm ready for the next step...
please, if anyone pm me with a win 6...
ok, my spl is ok (1.4), i put the CHEEIMG.nbh on my sd card, and I run the step 1 of cheetah unlocker. And nothing happens.. still boots with wm5. I even did a hard reset.
Man, i'm goig crazy... what am i missing?
Please, someone could upload again one of those 4 files? I could find neither of them with goolge.
So, i found the updater, but it won't update my phone since it's in italian...
guess I'll need to do it the hard way. Please, can someone point me a post or a tutorial to update from 5.0 to 6?

I must be missing something. I made those steps, all went ok. But how the heck do i change the windows version? That's my goal, not to flash the spl.
I got a win 6 image (i hope, at least), copied the CHEEIMG.nbh file on the card (which is fat 32), and i repeated step one from cheetah-unlocker. As I hoped that after flashing the new windows would automatically install. But nothing happened, the old win was up and running.
Come on man, I'm not such a bad person after all to deserve this... I may have killed a few birds or cats in my childhood, but this is too much... you're killing me.. I'm stuck in this spagetti windows, and I can't upgrade to a normal english windows... what the heck am i missing?
well, if you haven't gotten it sorted by now, hope this helps: once you've hard spl'd, put the new image that you want to flash in the root on your card [<2gb, fat32 formatted] and then hold media and push reset. your phone will cycle into the bootloader [rgb screen], detect the image and ask if you want to flash.

Unlock WP7 after installing Mango?

I have an unlocked HTC HD7, but don't have a developer account.
I have only just read that installing Mango re-locks your phone.
How would I unlock my phone after installing Mango?
I'm half way through installing Mango lol...
I have registry editor and touchXperience (dunno if they will work on Mango)
I also done the thing to stop the phone being re-locked (the HTC only thing where you install HTC Connection Setup and put the CustClear.provxml on your phone)

Try a search or try reading a couple threads, all of this has been answered already numerous times.
Mango re-locks your phone, and any homebrew apps you have installed will not work once you update to Mango. There is no way to Chevron unlock your phone at all yet. You need a developer account to unlock, and even then, because of new app restrictions Mango introduces, certain homebrew apps (particularly ones that mess the the system itself) will no longer work.
I did read other threads but couldn't make out a straight answer :/
Damn, so you think we're gonna have to wait for Chevron Labs or will someone here crack it?

The Chevron people will not crack it because they are not working directly with Microsoft to offer a cheap solution for non-developers to unlock their phones. Those plans have yet to be announced yet, but its coming soon.
I'm assuming eventually, someone other than the Chevron people will figure it out. They always do.
I have an idea Im going to try out tonight. Dont know if the mango update is gonna delete/move/overwrite the file but if the file is still there from unlocked nodo to mango then it should unlock the phone again after the mango update allowing you to install advanced config and preventing relock and allow max unsigned apps.
Tried to do it this morning but me being stupid forgot to prevent relock when updating nodo. So I ended up just updating all the way to mango and will reflash a pre-nodo rom and try it all again when I get a couple of hours to myself tonight.
As long as the file doesnt get touched, which it might not since all my other stuff was still there after mango though I couldnt use it, I cant see it not working. Though Im not a super techie.
How about the Trick with the HTC Connection Setup? We just need to put the Provxml in the Windows folder before updating and after the successfully Update start the HTC Connection Setup to rewrite the Registry Information!?

Just downloaded from market and works fine. Wasn't under HTC apps though. Had to search for it.
Did you sideload it on before mango? Cuz I planned on installing it from the market when on unlocked nodo.
And I'm gonna give it a go now. I'll report back.
It Worked.... I repeat IT WORKED.
Gonna start a new thread with my custclear.provxml. Ill link to it in a few minutes.
Heres the thread with my custclear.provxml file and a short rundown.

[Q] HTC Update problems

Sorry for having to start a new thread here, but I can't post a response where I want for lack of permissions.
I am attempting to update my Trophy from 7712 to 7720 and am having no luck. I have followed all the troubleshooting steps that people have provided and still cannot get it to update from 7712 to 20. So my question is now, how do I get it back to NoDo using the backup that was created before updgraded to 7712?

I think you can do this by going to zune>setting>phone>update>restore to earlier time.
So I went and had a look. Freaking backup was deleted when I tried going back to retail version of Zune. So now I can't do that either. Looks like I'm up ****s creek when it comes time for the Mango public release unless I can figure out how to get it to update to 7720...

[Q] Reinstall Mango

Hi everyone,
I just bought an HTC Trophy and the first thing I always do when I buy a smartphone is format the card and do a clean install of the latest firmware available. On all my iPhones so far ( 3G, 3GS, 4 ) this was an easy thing to do using iTunes, but I haven't found an answer for WP7 yet, although I did find some threads tackling some similar stuff.
So my question is: How can I format my sd and then do a clean install of Mango? And is that even possible? ( I read somewhere that I would have to get 7.0 first )
Thank you so much!
Menu>Settings>About>Reset phone> and accept
Welcome new wp7 user!!
what Budniu says is that wp7 just need a hard-reset to clean itself...
then sync it with Zune (on your desktop...it's like itune) and you'll be promped to name your phone & it will search for availables updates...that's it.
No need to revert back to 7.0
@Budniu Thanks, I've already done that, I thought there was some other way though.
@NebZoNe Yes that's exactly what I've been doing for the last 5 mins, looks like I'm set to go. Thank you!

Help, I lost my 3G connection

I flashed my HTC Trophy back to nodo with a custom rom and everything worked out great. I unlocked it with no problem but when interop unlocking it I lost my 3G and I didn't make a back up. Is there a reg edit or a patch or a hack to get it back?
Wait, why were you "interop-unlocking" a NoDo device? The interop-lock wasn't added until Mango. Do you mean you installed the retail Mango update on top of a custom ROM?
In any case, the two obvious options are to try running AutoDataConfig (I don't know if that works on CDMA phones, but it's just some registry settings to enable it, and then you reboot), or just either hard-reset or re-flash the ROM.

LOL, my fault GoodDay, I forgot to mentioned that I actually updated all the way up to Mango. Had a senior moment there; it was a long day at work today. Sorry.
I'm actually re-flashing now. but it's all good, that's the fun of tinkering with the phone..
If i remember right heathcliff posted a fix for that in the interopt unlock thread.
If someone has the link on how to create a backup \ restore point that would be awesome.

I use this one and it works good. Have used it many times.

When you do your IU on Mango, make sure you follow the VZW Trophy procedure in this thread to keep your 3G (follow it closely!). It is a little different from the norm.
