Hi,
Thank you ansar. I just got my HTC Arrive, I'm totally blind with WP7 Phone. Can you give me a link to learn about basic WP7 hacks ? such as updating to Mango, NoDo (?) Thanks again

mango not officially released... better to wait then experiment with beta
also dont forget, you cant unlock (jailbreak) if upgrade to nodo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344

This might be a dumb questions but, I couldn't wait for mango to come out so I ended up flashing to 7720.68. Now I am unable to restore to my original backup, is it possible for me to use this to go back to the original build of nodo, or does anyone know is it possible at all to get a hold of the sprint build?
Thanks

Just wondering. Is this rom unlocked?

how did you flash to 7720.68? I thought the latest build that could be flash to the Sprint Arrive was 7720.10?

You can try eg.:
Mango 7713: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205111
Mango 7720: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255112
but you must have RSPL/HSPL from DFT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16189671#post16189671
But probably does not support Arrive.
This release does NOT support these WP7F devices:

*SparkW (Trophy Verizon)

Regards, ansar

I had an issue with Zune and Microsoft told me to restore NoDo from my backup. My restore failed so I had to search from quite some time to find a ROM.
This ROM got me back to NoDo with no problems and everything was great but I cannot get my data services back. After a couple of hours, I took it to the Sprint store and they couldn't figure it out either. They ended up ordering a replacement device that's going be a few days before it gets here.
Is there something that I may have missed or done incorrectly? I'm not trying to flash it again and I'm getting an Error: 226 on every ROM I've tried since then.

Ansar. Your Signed Bootloader RUU works perfectly to Downgrade the Arrives Mango Bootloader from 4.3 to 1.25 as you supplied which worked perfectly to install the DFT HSPL #3 on the Arrive. Just want the headsup to be known so we can get some custom roms rolling on the Arrive. I have been dying for a fully unlocked device since release.
Maybe it is time to get back into Rom Cooking again... Hmm.

Hi,
A NewTech 8107 22L WWE 5.12.651.01 will be released soon!!

[Q] Update Error C00D070A There's a communication error with your phone.

Hello,
After following the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415 ([CAB] Official WP7 Updates List: 7.10.8107 + ALL LANGUAGES complete + OEM updates) to the letter I repeatedly receive the same error on two different PC's. UpdateWP: (Device ID Left Out) Update Error C00D070A There's a communication error with your phone.
If I run UpdateWP.exe /list I can see my device.
I read through the entire thread, all 75 pages and could not find an answer to my problem. I also scoured the rest of the site for two days to no avail. @jellenl post: Problem with 'WP7 Update Cab Sender' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291536 was the closest reported issue similar to mine. I have replied to that post and am waiting for additional information.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, the newer software is needed to address the Exchange 2003 bug on our phones.

Problem Solved!
After manually backing up my data (there are automated tools you can use) I factory reset my phone and attempted an update to 7740 using the following tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179 with a custom CabData.xml that I created for my phone (VZW Trophy). I updated my OS (7720) and Languages (English - United States (0409) and Spanish (0C0A), the two languages installed by the default) to 7740 successfully, and then updated OS and Languages to 8107 succesfully. After the update process I reseated my battery and factory reset the phone once again, and as expected the latest OS 7.10.8107.79 (8107) is still present on my phone.
It's important to note that I have a factory ROM and my phone already had it's firmware updated automatically (via Zune) to the levels noted in my original post. I believe the WP7 Update Cab Sender would have worked as well but preferred the slick interface wCabSender provided, thanks guys!
No thanks Verizon and HTC, a BIG Thanks to all at xda-developers!

How does your phone work using this method? I attempted to cook a rom with 8107, but Phone app would't load anymore. XD
Also, using this method, can you dial ##PST# without the phone freezing? The current DFT Freedom V1 from Verizon Wireless Trophy can't use ##PST# with their cooked 8107.
I have yet to try to manually update to 7740+ and beyond. I wish VZW would get off their butts and support our phone, but I'd wager that we've seen the last updates. Verizon isn't even interested in putting more WP7's on the network last I knew.
Also, how did you edit CabData.xml?

@TheXev, Thanks for your post
As I mentioned earlier I have a factory ROM (at no time did I ever attempt to alter the phone), We purchased the phone a month ago to test in our enterprise (as a BlackBerry alternative - we had already tested iPhone and Android and were not happy with the results) and it wasn't until we rolled out a second device (beta group) that we discovered the Exchange 2003 bug (email responses had original data removed) and determined via the Windows Phone Website that OS 7740 had corrected that bug. I still am not clear on why my phone would not upgrade without a factory reset, but it was a small price to pay for the bug fixes and enhancements brought through to OS 8107.
I wasn't aware that I could dial ##778 for field diagnostics (thank you for that information) my phone dials the number correctly and without freezing.
If you decide to upgrade I would encourage you to use the wCabSender, it can be found at this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1315179 I have uploaded my updated CabData.xml at the end of the thread.
On a side note I already had the Windows Phone Engineering Flash Tool installed on my machine when I attempted my upgrades using WP7 Update Cab Sender, this tool is not installed with wCabSender and I'm not certain if it's necessary, if you run into trouble using wCabSender (it not launching) you can download WPEFT from this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415 also keep in mind that wCabSender has prequisites (I believe) .NET Framework 4.x, etc.
As I mentioned earlier I have uploaded the edited CabData.xml via another forum, my updated version includes the latest Firmware: 2305.13.20110.605
and Radio software version: 1.53.00.12.01_23.17w.05.13U and all OS updates and Language packs (Eng. and Esp.) needed for a Verizon Trophy. The wCabSender's slick interface allows you to download the updates into the /Downloaded directory. The CabData.xml can be found in the /Models directory and can be updated by a text editor, I used notepad.
It is unfortunate regarding Verizon and their apparent lack of enthusiasm for WP7, we have hundreds of devices (mostly BB Not WP7) and even their T2 Enterprise Technical Support was unable to confirm if they had received notification for the update. HTC reported the same information and redirected me back to Verizon. Hopefully in the future MS can push the updates directly to the phones, until then I will continue to use invaluable resources like xda-developers to overcome these issues. Thanks Again!
I believe MS has a hit on their hands with the Windows Phone, which I believe will become more apparent with the release of Windows 8.

I concur on all points. Last night I was able to upgrade the stock 7720 rom to 8107 and have a working phone (I missed the language pack between 7740 and 8107). I used cooking methods and HSPL, so I didn't have to modify any files after tinkering.
In an enterprise environment, it isn't a good idea to void the warranty of the equipment with HSPL (or open up another can of wax my using an a unlocked phone).
I'm glad to see the phone fully works with 8107, but I have to wonder why Verizon didn't at least push the 7740 update for the reasons you stated.
I'll have to continue to work with DFT to see if we can figure out why their testing rom doesn't run ##PST#. My current 8107 build works fine with ##PST# now, but I haven't been able to fully unlock it (here is to tonight's digging).

[Q] downgrading wp7

hey guys,
i've got the samsung omnia w gti8350 and i installed the latest update including kk2, but now i havn't the phone either unlocked nor i have a backup.
i downloaded the full mango build 7720 rtm and the wp7 update cab sender. when i wanted to "update" actually downgrade, the anser was no cab was required. the phone doesn't let me downgrade to mango!
is there a possible answer how i can downgrade it or how i can uninstall kk2 without having a backup?
thanks for your attention
daniel

I'd ask what you did with your backup, but it's probably too late for that now.
You need a ROM flashing tool, not a CAB sender (which is used for updates, not full ROMs). I know that ROM flashing utilities exist for the first-gen Samsung phones, and would assume that either they can be used with second-gen or you can find one that works. The tool used for HTC (like I have) is called ROM Update Utility, commonly abbreviated RUU.
You may want to look in device-specific parts of the forum. Also, just for the record, do you mind posting your firmware version info (from Settings -> About -> More Info)? People are constantly asking how to check for the KK2 version, and it would be good to have a number I could point to and say "if it's at least this high, you need to downgrade."

Here we go,this is what i got after the update:
Firmware revision number 7.10.8107.79
Hardware revision number 23.15.0.8
Radio software version 2424.11.12.1
Radio hardware version 0.0.0.800
Bootloader version 6.1.2.0
Hope it helps,since update i was unable to unlock using windowbreak.

@GoodDayToDie: would it be possible to use the ROM Update Utility to flash my omnia w?
Daniel

I don't know; ROM flashing isn't my thing (I'm still on a stock ROM). I strongly suggest you go look at the Omnia [7] forum, if you can't find an Omnia W forum, and ask how to re-flash the ROM. Alternatively, you could try searching (using Google/Bing, since the forum's search tool is down). You could also look at the XDA-Devs wiki; a lot of this sort of info is stored there.

Here you are
OS: Windows Phone 7.5
Date: 2011 November
PDA: I8350XXKK4
CSC: I8350PLSKK4
Download: Click HERE
This ROM is from Poland, unfortunately it's the only ROM I could find for your phone. Anyway this shouldn't give you any kind of problem.
How to flash:
- Extract the archive
- Open the folder Downloader and run WP7_Downloader_Ver_3.8_for_Secure_and_SMD_change_Parttiton_and_Support_Retail_binary.exe as Administrator
- Click on PDA and choose PDA_I8350XXKK4_REV0.nb0
- Click on CSC and choose CSC_I8350PLSKK4.csc
- Click on Phone and choose PHONE_WEMBLEY_16002402_open_KK1_rev00_RC1.bin
- Click on Eboot and choose EBOOT_I8350XXKK4_REV0.eb0
- Put your phone in Download Mode (Turn it off and press Volume Up Key + Camera Key + Power).
- Plug in your phone, wait until the program finds the phone and then click Start
If the program doesn't find the Phone, then you need to install Samsung USB Drivers: Download HERE

hey AshleyT
i tried all you said exactly that order but nothing worked:
picture as attachment
Have i made a mistake?

Uhm... Everything seems correct
Try these USB drivers:
Samsung USB Driver v1.3.2300
Uninstall the old ones before installing these!
Also, I found another revision on that firmware, if you have the same error with the new drivers, try with this other one:
http://hotfile.com/dl/142699209/c6a2bc7/I8350XXKK4_XEKK4_SERKK4.rar.html

i have samsung omnia w with frmware v7720 and diagonisis ver 1109 in which the window break method does not get applied...so for this reason i want to downgrade my phone...is possible to use windows support tool for downgrading to earlier windows ver i.e. NoDO because i dont have any backup of it so i cant even reterive it with zune

i've now tested the new drivers and the new rom that you posted.
It seems not to work! Same problem as before, no way out! I think samsung provided with kk2 an update that blocks all possibilities to "hack" this phone.

2nd gen devices (like Omnia W) can't be downgraded to NoDo because they didn't even exist before Mango!
Anyway 7720 is the OS version, not the firmware.
You can always try the ROM that I posted above and see if you're able to apply WindowBreak on it

Well, my Samsung Omnia 7 also received KK2 update which blocked the possibility to use WindowBreak, but I was able to flash even a custom ROM, so I don't really think that the problem is realted to the firmware.
Are you sure that you're in bootloader mode?
You can also try the procedure on another computer, but I don't know what else I could suggest you, because I didn't have any problem on my Omnia 7!

Are the bootloader mode and the download mode the same? First you mentioned i've to go to the download mode (vol. up + cam. + power).
If that's true i am in the right mode.

I'm interested in downgrade my Omnia W too. I found this. I hope that it helps, but i think, that it's only for upgrade...

Can i make a custom frimware for 2nd gen devices???

Since you'd need to unlock the bootloader before you could install it, a custom firmware for gen2 phones isn't yet a useful project...

So i tried it with later drivers and Poland Firmware and it seems that it doesn't works.. Still the same firmware.

@WooDoo.CZ: don't you forget to ckeck the checkboxes from PDA, Phone, Eboot & Phone Boot. Unless you check these, i think it won't send any files to your wp7 device...

Sorry boys. So I did it again and now i checked it. And same problem as you had.
edit:
I found this. Anybody should try it. I don't have time right now.

[HSPL ROMS Spark_W] HSPL stock Verizon Trophy roms. [Updated 05-22-2012]

I took the stock roms for Verizon (NoDO v1, Mango v1 only so far) and simply recooked them to work when HSPL is installed. This was to provide an easier way to flash back to stock and rom ##DIAG and *228 for the time being while mwang works out the kinks in DFT Freedom for Verizon Trophy. This will also help since you won't need to flash OSPL to flash a stock rom!
THESE ROMS WILL NOT RETURN YOUR SPARK_W TO TRUE STOCK, YOU MUST USE STOCK ROMS IN FOOTBALLS THREAD FOR THAT!
Also refer to my HSPL thread for all details on returning your phone to true stock!
Read this for information on why YOU should avoid flashing official Verizon 8107 rom!
I stripped out the following from these roms:
SPL (if it were to flash with HSPL installed, you wouldn't like it one bit!)
RADIO (its easier to simply flash the radio you want from my radio thread).
Spanish language support (you only need the phone for programming and diag anyway, does this really matter?).
I will not modify these roms unless someone REALLLY wants Spanish support put back in. I will not add non-stock languages into the roms.
There are NO modifications to these roms other then what has been stated above. Only use these for diagnostic reasons!
Code:
NoDo v1 rom -

The split Mango rom requires no special software to combine, simply use WinRAR to extract, and the parts will be joined automagically.

Thanks again TheXev!

I will also be adding the Mango v3 rom very soon(I don't see the point to the Mango v2 rom since there is hardly any changes between that at Mango v1). This rom uses the 8107 sys, and has updated drivers that may address SMS texting issues in CDMA mode with Unicode characters(there are some strange new registry settings relating to SMS that have appeared that I will document about here).
The biggest reason I will add this rom is because if you flash OSPL using DFT's tool (for stock rom return), and then flash official Mango v3, EVERY SINGLE TIME in my testing it half bricked my bootloader, even after flashing different roms with non 2.04 SPL's!? Only time it wouldn't half brick my bootloader was after using GoldCard method to fix my phone. I'll need to point this out to Cotulla...
In short, if you don't want to halfbrick your bootloader for now, DO NOT install official Verizon update to 8107 via Zune without HSPL [meaning, if you had HSPL installed and then reinstalled OSPL (I need to test this if the update is even out on Zune), and DO NOT FLASH OFFICIAL 8107 rom named RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.04.605.02_Radio_NV_0215_NV58008_RELEASE. This rom is in football's rom thread and it is the official 8107 rom that I recently extracted a radio from in my radio thread.
Also because of this new official rom, you might expect me to write my own guide to GoldCard (the entire method, reasons for doing it, and all nhb model names, and "WHAT IS A GOLDCARD?!" lol). This guide might not end up on XDA, as I might write it on my own blog because of the sheer size and formatting I'd want to do.
If you don't want to wait to try the 8107 official rom, then simply update either of the roms I previously posted on Zune. If you have HSPL installed, it will prevent a new SPL from being flashed.

I don't know about the SMS fix yet, but it would appear that Spark_W/Verizon support for CMAS support was added. I didn't know anything about it, but its a neat read.

Orange UK Tango update via registry changes? Possible?

Hi Guys
I'm on the orange UK rom for Samsung Omnia 7 and this provider currently isn't going to release the Tango update.
Two questions:
Firstly is it possible to make my phone eligible for the update via changing registry settings (my phone is unlocked and ready to rock and roll) or through the cab update method (I can't find reference to the latest cab version number and instructions on the forum - I've cab updated to 7.10.8107.79 currently)
Secondly - of I can't do anything suggested above I don't mind wiping and starting with a new rom so is there a different english ROM that will be eligible to get all the updates?
Thanks!

CAB updater allows you to forcibly install updates directly. Follow the instructions carefully.
