[Q] Tango break official apps and relocked - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I just update my Samsung Focus to Tango by using ROG-CA trick (no force update). The problem is it breaks my interop unlock. I cannot even access diagnosis app using ##634# or an already installed diagnosis app. Since I have uninstalled it, I cannot access MFG menu other than the access code. The real problem is that I cannot launch app installed from marketplace. The worst joke is that it treats app like Facebook as a sideloaded app. It says it has been revoked by MSFT and need to uninstall.
I have restart the phone to no avail. FYI, i sometimes change to Nokia OEM, but revert back before the update.
What should I do ?

tango does not have anything extra,apart from few minor tweaks,so i suggest you to rollback.Because there is no point loosing interop for not so exciting Tango.

Changing the registry (DeviceTargetingInfo) to another OEM (such as Nokia) will permanently break the marketplace DRM on your phone, until you hard-reset or roll back to before you did so. This is well-known and documented on all the tools and tweak-lists that I'm aware of which include this change.
Revert your update, keep yourself well away from DeviceTargetingInfo (the ROG-CA thing is *also* a bad idea, unless you're absolutely certain that the update intended for phones on Rogers in Canada are the same as phones intended for whatever-your-carrier-is in wherever-you-are. They're *probably* the same, but that is not guaranteed.

[Q] Mango - Region and Carrier apps?

Hi guys,
Used the leaked method for non-developer devices to update to Mango.
No huge bugs so far.... missing out on Twitter integration though!
One thing I've encountered is that I can't access Carrier (Telstra) or Manufacturer (HTC) apps on my HTC Mozart.
Upon trying to update either the 'Foxtel' (running stock RTM app; insists on Marketplace update before it'll work) or 'TelstraOne' (crashes) apps, Marketplace gives me error 80320011. Closing and restarting, or rebooting doesn't help. Same error with or without a SIM card installed.
Strangely, I also get this message (attached)... and I was wondering if the 'not available in your region' error was new to Mango? Or if anyone else has had this problem and knows of a fix.
Yeah, I can access the carrier or manufacturer stores. It has the wrong carrier store for some reason even though it still get the correct branding on boot. I have no idea why the manufacturer store isn't working though.
The error I get is "We're sorry, but we can't complete your request and we aren't sure why." The error code is: 805a0194

[Q] Marketplace c101a247 error?

Hi all,
So ever since I've had my phone I've had problems with the marketplace.
Yesterday I managed to get my Mozart to Mango 7720 unlocked and now it's starting to bother me.
Previously I use to get a message saying marketplace is not available in my country/region (I live in South Africa) now since the Mango update I can browse fine but when I try update or install an application I don't have I get the c101a247 error. Been happening since last night.
IE cookies are enabled, makes no difference whether the GPS is active or not and no difference whether I use WiFi or my cellular data connection I get the same error.
Anyone know why I'm getting this error and how to get it fixed so I can use the marketplace?
Thanks
*bump*
Anyone at all? Any ideas or suggestions?
Go to mobile phone settings and under region + language put united states and try to install the app.
Also try to login and logout from zune.net from your computer.
Hey schizo, tried that and still nothing.
Its really getting annoying now!
Hi, I had same problem on my HTC Trophy with NoDo. Creating a new Windows Live account and replacing the primary one with it solved the problem. (Of course I've chosen United States as my location when creating the account). Unfortunately to change your primary WL account you need to restore to factory defaults.
I've started my experience with WP7 just yesterday and I am a noob, nut I hope this will help you as well.
Ok, thanks. Quick question (bit off topic). If I reset to factory settings will I need to re-unlock my phone?
Thanks
So quite a thread revival...
I would like to avoid having to factory reset my phone, but think I may need to - so will probably get a new rom and just flash it as I am on an oold Mango ROM.
I am still having the above issue, was getting the .xaps and then just deploying them but now that they are all encrypted I can no longer do that and my marketplace still does not work.
It is going to be really annoying having to scrap my original Windows Live account I have had since around 2006/2007 just because of this - although if its the only way I guess I will have to. Just cannot use MSN on my phone then (I ain't re-adding all my contacts).
Any ideas before I reflash my phone and create a new Windows Live account?
Thanks

No mango after reset

Did a forced update to mango a few months back, since then I have had a few issues with facebook not syncing correctly with my main facebook account (deleted friends still showing up etc.) and was told that a reset would probably fix it, so blindly i did it.
After the reset it looked different to before and on the phone in the about settings it shows as being windows phone 7.5, but dosent look like it did before mango, cant search for apps by pressing a letter ect as this isnt here, on zune it says im running version 7.10 (7740).
So been trying to update via zune and nothing is happening, anybody got any ideas ?

7740 is actually one version after Mango. The latest update that fixed some issues with Exchange 2003. So you're absolutely up to date. The reason why the alphabetical jump list is missing might be that you lack the minimum amount of apps installed. The jump list only shows up if you have more than 40 (or so) apps installed on your device.
That is Mango. You just can't search because you don't have the minimum required amount of apps for it to appear.
Cheers for the info pretty sure i hadnt installed over 40 apps before, but I never counted..

[Q] zune isn't notifying me about app updates

Zune isn't notifying me about new updates for games or apps, unless i have at least 20-30 updates at once, which is very rare. And i know that there are updates for different apps if i enter the app in the marketplace, go back, and enter again.
How can i force it to show me available updates when i connect it to the computer?
I have a HTC 7 Trophy
Interesting, i don't think i have ever left mine on zune long enough for a notification. What about in the martketplace on your phone? I usually update it from my phone. I have noticed though wpcentral.com gets updated before i do by about 1 day. I will see them talk about and review an app update then the next day i get it. (or if i go to the app in the marketplace and refresh sometimes)
Both the phone and zune notify me only when i have 20-30 app updates...is it because i live in romania and i chose UK marketplace? (didn't know what country to choose because romania isn't listed). Also my phone doesn't have attentive phone (it isn't in the marketplace anymore) and HTC support said there will be an update for HTC in a couple a days but i highly doubt that because he said at some point "HTC isn't an app maker"
So...any solutions to my problems?
i faced a similar problem when my phone was developer unlocked. The marketplace on the phone NEVER showed me any updates. I had to go to the app page in the marketplace to see if an update was there. Strange yet true
Most likely then it is because of the location. Romania i don't think is still listed in the marketplace. I'm betting somehow it ignores your setting and trys to use your location 1st.
What o/s version you on? mango yet? or above?
7.1.8107 of course. developer unlocked via student, but not interop-unlocked.
There must be a way to force checking for updates...it's been 2 weeks since i had my last official app update notification

[Q] Can live tiles be repaired without factory reset on NOT-unlocked phone?

On my Omnia W, four days ago, live tiles stopped updating themselves. Nothing helps (unpin and then pin again, phone reboot). I've found out that solution for this bug needs unlocked phone and then it's possible to delete certain registry keys and tiles sholud work again. My phone is not unlocked, because it is not possible in my country (and I've got my phone after chevron wp7 was out of tickets) I do not want to lose everything on phone by doing a hard reset. Is there a way how to modify registry on not-unlocked phone? or any other solution? thanks
Try re-running the app, and disabling and the re-enabling the push service. The bug you're referring to was supposed to be fixed a year or more ago.
