Hi Creamy
Thanks for that. But that seems to require the phone to be Interop- Unlocked. I have managed to get my phone Developer Unlocked. But doesnt seem to do much else.
Is there a way to download the a old version on the OS and "update" back to this and then unlock it?

[Q] HTC Update for Windows Phone (Mango)

I have just received an update today on zune saying HTC Update for Windows Phone.
I am running Mango RTM (Leaked) but everytime i update, i get to step 7 after phone restarting and it says creating backup, but them my phone restarts a 2nd time and zune update fails with error code: C1010007.
The windows phone website says the error means: The Zune software doesn't recognize my phone, or stops the update in the middle...
anyone know how I can fix this? or will I have to go back to NoDo or something? If so, how do I do it because my hard drive broke and I lost my backup
Thanks
Your computer doesnt have the usb driver. Try it on another computer. Easier.

thats awesome! cheers.
ive got HD7 on O2
also got the update message, will report back
Well updated without issue. I didn't record what version the phone was on before the update but there was no change to OS version, probably just to firmware.
Although i had done a factory reset after i went to mango RTM when it was released ages ago. Maybe some remnants of the beta's is causing an issue for you?
I got the update to work, however I had to restore my phone to factory settings
the update seemed to be crashing when trying to create a backup of my phone's data at step 7. My phone only had like 1gb space left, maybe it was too much for it to backup??
anyways, it seems to be working now. got the progress bar. will let you know how i get on.
also its not too bad i guess, got all my music and photos on zune.
So, this update updated my phone and it is now 100% official, i was coming from RTM.
Can anyone tell me the difference between RTM, HTC leaked and the current rollout?
Update seems to have gone swimmingly. However, has anyone else lost Local Scout after the update?
I'm confused.
EDIT: Nevermind. I got it. Tried a locations search in Bing Maps and it worked after that.

well the official RTM is basically a manufacturer release and for official devs. HTC RTM leaked is the same as above, but for non dev devices. The current roll out is newer firmware and tweaks. as far as im aware anyways lol

My understanding is: RTM is for manufactures and providers, the leaked version is the modified RTM by HTC ... so there shouldn't be a difference between the leaked HTC version and the current rollout. Maybe a HTC user with official update can post the version and device information here?

It has been confirmed that if you had the leaked 7720 RTM, you got the Provision removal to get your updates back on track and installing the "HTC Update" brought the rest of the phone up to par as far as drivers are concerned.
Smooth Update Sailing for Microsoft so far. My Backup that the RTM to HTC update looks to have just disappeared for some reason (still have my NoDo Backup) but other than that, it has been a painless venture into Beta land. Love it.
Thanks for the information. So I will wait for ansar because I want to have a JB rom.
The provisioning fix would install only if you were not on the RTM. If you had 7720 then the cleanup is skipped and only HTC UPdate is installed

[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.

i tried now what you found. For me it didn't seem to work! Error: md5 checksumm not valid for both of the roms mentioned before in this threat.
Hmm, so I tried it too, and i had error: This is a unknown binary.. So what next?

[Q] Interop-Unlock Lumia 800 using student's developer account possible?

Hi guys, first of all I don't know if you need a General presentation of me... anyway... I have that good toy mentioned in the title and I'm looking for a way to interop-unlock it... I've studied for a week (I'm a computer programmer and I spend much of day on the computer so it's usual for me... ) and I would like to know if after the download of Network _Setup v.1.0.0.0.xap I can reset the phone firmware to the first (the one that was on the phone when I bought it, with no upgrades...) and try to fully unlock it (I have already unlock it with the student's developer account, app hub and so on... but it's not enough for me... ) with the Heathcliff interop-unlocker.xap... Is this possible?
Here's my device information:
Nokia Lumia 800
Vodafone SW variant ID212 v.01
Windows Phone 7.5 Mango
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware Revision Number: 1600.2487.8107.12070
Hardware Revision Number: 112.1402.2.3
Bootloader version: 7.35.0.0
SOC Processor Version: 0.74.2.1
I used the Nokia_Interop_Unlock_by_Heathcliff74.xap but no results, now I can't install more .xap, I have the error Error - 0x81030120
I tried too... Same results, but I think it should be due to the updates of OS... Windows, as I read, made an update to fix a bug that allowed app to entry or modify register keys... but... If you don't have the updates (virgin OS, the first) you should be able to do that... Am I wrong guys of xda?
So probably if you reflash the first OS that was in the device, and retry the heathcliff hacking after got a "Network Setup" not upgraded (v. 1.0.0.0 ???) version and deployed it in the phone using the Application deployer...
I think I will try this way soon... If anybody as any suggestions.......
Hi,
Unfortunately not possible (yet). No-one managed to do this on a NOKIA so far. I'm trying, but the NOKIA's are well-protected.
I hope to find an unlock asap, but there is really no way to tell if or when I will succeed.
Ciao,

Flash AT&T Focus Flash back to stock for Tango...?

So I used the disconnect internet trick and got Tango to install on my phone. Problem is, it stopped with the 3 updates and did not install (or find) the Samsung one that I know was supposed to be installed (for firmware), so my firmware is now 2103.11.10.1 instead of what it is supposed to be.
Does anyone know a way to force the OEM firmware to be sent to Zune. The internet disconnect trick isn't work now, so I'm stuck. Also, my backups aren't showing up, even though during the update process it said it was creating a backup (for all the OS updates it installed all the way up to 8773).
If there is no way to get the OEM firmware to be pushed, does anyone know how to get the Focus Flash to stock? I know I have a backup on my computer, but Zune isn't recognizing it (I had forced 8107 on my phone, and Zune made a backup of that ROM).
I just updated to Tango using the cab sender on my Focus Flash. Everything worked fine. My firmware ver. is the same as yours. It has been that rev since as far as i can remember. I don't think there is a firmware newer than that for the Focus Flash.
Firmware is 2103.11.10.1
OS ver is 7.10.8773.98

Someone at wpcentral posted this for their Focus Flash:
Look like Firmware Update, Radio Software, BootLoader
Firmware Revision 2103.12.05.04
Hardware Revision Number 23.1.0.8
Radio Software Version: 2103.12.5.4
Radio Hardware Version: 0.0.0.6
BootLoader Version 6.5.17.0
Chip SOC Version 0.74.21.1
So there must be one out there (plus, everyone else has been receiving firmware updates, like Nokia, so I can't see Samsung not making one).
Since you used the debrand trick to update to 8107, you'll most likely have to reset your phone to get the Samsung update. I did the same thing & then did the cab send method to update to 8773. Didn't have any problems. Kept trying to get the Samsung update via the disconnect trick. No luck. As soon as I reset my phone, it popped right up. I'm installing it now. Good luck.

Omnia 7 Unlock without using IE

HI All,
I have a Samsung Omnia 7 Phone running the following:
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision: 2424.11.9.2
Hardware revision: 3.15.0.4
Bootloader version: 5.11.1.8
I have got a problem where Internet explorer wont run at all on the phone. i've tried the "open in current tab" trick and that doesnt work. I thought updating the phone would work but this didnt either. i Updated to 7.10.8107.79.
The end result i want to export all my text messages of my phone then do a hard reset.
I read the only way was to phone unlock. But reading that with windowsbreaker can only be done of 7440 or lower , i downgraded to 7720 and this didnt work and then also read that samsung have blocked it when doing downgrades/restores.
I did try windowsbreaker using about 7 different download internet browsers from the market place but none worked as per samsung blocking the method.
Does any one know where i can go from here. Like i said i just want to get all my SMS messages saved to my pc in some good format and then i just want to hard reset the phone to start again.
Thanks in Advance
Crampo
