Hi all,
below there is a post with my problems:
i've a Samsung Focus Flash and after the upgrade to Tango, following your guide, i haven't lost the Interop-Unlock.
So the guide worked perfectly.
After upgrade, for any error, I could not send or receive the sms; so i formatted the phone. ( in this period i need to sms and haven't a pc )
Normally i lost the Interop-Unlock.
When i tried to restore Mango for executing another time the unlock, magically Zune lost my old backup.
Probabilly doesn't knows more my telephone.
(i'm using always the same PC)
Is there a process for retrieving the backup lost? that i think be in my PC.
in negative case, there are others solutions.
Unfortunately nobody have the solution, so i can return flashing my phone to MANGO from TANGO version?
Where i can find a guide and the files for OMNIA Focus Flash brand WIND?
Regards,
Momò
Any news?

Hi every one, I keep getting this message every time I use ChevronWP7 for deploying xap files to my Samsung Focus Mango ( 7720 )
sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone
- Please make sure it's connected using USB
- Please start the Zune application
I had the phone connected using USB and the Zune application was started , and still get that message .
please tell me what's wrong !
thanks in advance
I have some problems with HTC Trophy. Maybe programs don't work on Mango?
Chevron does not work on Mango
Its not just Mango.
I downgraded my Omnia7 from Mango Beta to 'UK Retail' Pre-NoDo rom.
And got the same error trying to run ChevronWP7.
Did you also install the certificate? Won't work otherwise. Only on pre NoDo...
yeah forgetting to reinstall the certificate was quite common when I was flashing back to pre nodo backups,
I would check that first then make sure zune is syncing ok.
I installed the Cert before trying ChervronWP7 and when it didn't work.
I sent it to the phone and installed it again. Still got the same error.
I'll try again on the weekend, with the same PC it worked on before (the one I updated to Mango beta on) to see if it makes any difference.
Hello,
Want to know if there is a problem to update my Samung Focus unlocked (not the one with token) from 7740 to 8107 without losing my unlock?
I'm having a backup, but it's a long process if I have to restore it and I always scared to do it.
Thanks

You have a backup, thats good (make sure it shows up in Zune)
What I recommend to do is go to "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update"
And copy the file that's called something like "f3874e8d - c6f37f88 - c1504a27 - f0452346" to another location (external HDD or so) just in case the update deletes the backup you have (has been reported in some threads, but shouldnt happen)
---
Secondly if you update from 7740 -> 8107 nothing should change in terms of Unlock & Interop Unlock so you should be safe to just update it through the Zune program. A good mate of mine uses a Samsung and updated earlier this week tp 8107, and its still (interop) unlocked so..
IF however the phone gets locked (which I highly doubt will happen) you can just restore the backup you have and nothing bad will happen while restoring IF you leave your phone plugged in (I did the mistake of unplugging it during a restore... worst mistake ever! )
---
That said you should be safe, just plug it in and update to 8107.
If the device happens to get locked, just Restore, you have 2 (the same) backup files anyway so you're safe
Good luck!
[edit] the only device (so far) that is affected aka locking the device again is the Samsung Omnia 7, that is NOT cause of the 8107 itself but cause of the KK2, from Samsung, update paired with the 8107.
IF your device gets locked and you think its cause of that, and you have restored it through Zune, AND you still want 8107, read this. Scroll down to Samsung section and read how to do it (its in red)
Wow, thanks! I'll do it maybe tomorrow, let you know
Anytime,
take yours the thread aint going anywhere.
Hope it works!
Hi,
Some of you might have read my Omnia 7 bluetooth thread located here.
So I decided to flash my ORIGINAL T-MOBILE UK rom which I procured from the forums. Before I began flashing I made a backup (via the WP7 Update cab sender tool)
I flashed my mobile with the T-MOBILE UK rom, but alas the Bluetooth didn't work. I flashed it again with the I8700XENJK1 rom (the one I had used in the VERY FIRST PLACE when I had got my mobile back in December '10)
I updated it to 8107 & tried restoring it using the backup I made (via WP7 update cab sender) but I got an error that said this :
An error prevented the restoration of your phone to its previous version.
We're having some trouble restoring your phone. Restart your phone manually and try restoring again.
To see if there's more information about this error click
Web Help.
Error Code
801812E0
I have googled the error code & haven't found anything useful. Is there anything you guys could suggest?
*bump anyone*?
Same here. WP7 Update Cab Sender says error 801812E0 and Zune says not enough space on device (WTH?)
Hi,
Iam new here and not allowed to post in the right forum, so I`ll give it a try here. Hope you dont mind.
I recently flashed my Samsung Omnia 7 with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499102 using the new DFT MAGLDR for Samsung Windows Phone devices & the DFT flash tool. Before I flashed the ROM I didn't notice the I was actually still on Mango 7740 (no Updates available for my device) and the ROM I flashed is actually 8107.
Here is the thing: Zune refuses now to restore my backup data I made with this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346030, because the version of the new ROM is higher than the original.
Now the reason i primarily flashed and unlocked ROM is because I wanted to extract the SMS from my device that have a high value to me and I wanted to store them properly. Now my SMS are gone.
I dont now, if this works, but I thought of this:
Can somebody dump me or send me a dumped 7740 ROM for the (preferably unlocked) Omnia 7, so I can restore my backup and get to my SMS again?
Or does anybody have another idea how I could restore my SMS from the Zune backup?
Your help would be highly appreciated. Thx for taking your time to read this.
I hope somebody can help...
I have a Samsung Focus Flash, and I was hoping to install some apps that are not found on the marketplace.
So I have followed the procedure found at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106
But, I get this error:
View attachment 953887
The connection is good, and zune is running. Nothing with HTTPS process is running either. Please help.
That thread is extremely outdated. A trivial search online would show you that the ChevronWP7 Unlocker hasn't worked in about a year (ever ince NoDo came out). There's no pre-NoDo ROM for your phone (since it didn't even exist in 2010), so you can't use it.
Thanks for the reply. I had no idea. So is there an alternative in installing xap files?
Several. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538801
