[Q] Downgrade from Tango? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I updated a while ago to Tango and i wanted to downgrade so i asked on another thread but everyone said that i could not downgrade. But, after like a month, i think i have found a way --> Refer to link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
on this thread, there is a link to download a CAB file from an older firmware (ex. 7008 update) if i use the CAB method and try to downgrade from tango (8773 update) do you think it would work or would it brick my phone? I'm eager to try this method, but dont want to risk bricking my phone so i just want to know if it would be possible.
Thanks!

Can you please tell us the device info ??
You can't downgrade by just installing some cabs .. You mast flush a rom to your device ...

I have a Samsung Focus Flash that is on 7.10.8773.98 on AT&T

Sorry m8 ...i dont know the device .. you mean focus s or focus 2 ???
go to the focus thread and ask there ....

no, its the Samsung Focus Flash SGH-i677, search it up.

Since your CAB specifies an older version number than is currently installed on the phone, the "update" will fail. Seriously, if downgrading were that easy, it'd have been done long ago...

[ROM]RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.01_Radio_5.64.09.20_2 2.42.50.15_Signed

Here NoDo update for Gold
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cae....64.09.20_22.42.50.15_Signed_GOLD_RELEASE.exe
Enjoy!​
so now i have a questions!
can i use this rom for a branded device or do i need an unbranded device?
so when i can use it for a branded device do i have to change the modelid.fig? or is it impossible?
which HTC devices is this for? and isn't 1.30 the NoDo, this says it's 1.24.
Rom for HTC 7 Pro
Is there any possibility to Flash These rom on a branded device without using a goldcard??
hmmm... will I still able to jailbreak my device after update?
JIeBKA, jailbreak on NoDo impossible.
It's a little bit disappointing...
By the way, has anybody tried this ROM?
Please, describe your feelings.
I can't try this, because I'm writing an app, and will not able to test it on my device if I flash the ROM. So... I think it's better for me to wait until I buy dev acc.
I love you so much. I download, try, and tell you all!!
---- Download is off-line!!! ----
--- re-edit. it's ok! ---
Can anyone upload the ROM at another sites?
FileFactory isn't reachable sometimes...

Tried it just now. But I didn't see any improvement other than cut and paste.
Thiere is big bug inside:-( Setting Microsoft Exchange Account failed each time.
Dont tried it, not fun:'(
Thanks for reply, mate! I guess it would be better to wait for a stable release through Zune Software update.
Hmm, sr for my stupid question, but it's stock ROM ? And how update device for him ? Does connect device to PC and dubleclik for *.exe, and that's all ?

i just had a htc hd7 and i now i have a htc 7pro, and i want to do a jailbreak on it.

i have tried this on the trophy and it causes reboots and over heats the phone highly unstable
would you check please if you can find something newer or pre nodo rom for verizon trophy thanks in advance?
yep. found out the hard way. couldn't flash the ansar rom after this too. so i sent it back for warranty. let see what happens.
Does this enable us to developer unlock our device and flash back to the stock ROM?
Sent from my mwp6985 / Trophy using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
nope it looks more like the rom that htc or verizon used to demo the unit because it loads adverstisment of the device on standby
but not for every day use sucks big time
zune cannot read the software version
even tried the windows support tool and does not recognize it

i think we're gonna have to wait for a mango release. There should be a warning NOT to flash this rom. I shipped mine back to HTC/PCD and am still waiting for the phone to be returned.
I agree. We need a warning.
@ansar - please post additional warnings.
Guess, I'll tap some resources and get the beta.
thanks.
Mango Beta is out. Since this is not unlocked, and dont have a dev account..still stuck.
anyone have a Verizon backup so i can avoid sending back to warranty?

Hi all!
I may have some good news here shortly.
I've been able to get through the first few steps of the Mango beta update process.
Nothing certain yet, but the phone seems to be properly going through the steps with the demo rom.
Please let me know if you are interested in a step-by-step.
crossing fingers!

Hi all,
I've used the junky demo rom to get to 7401, but not mango (7661).
unfortunatly, the demo rom junk still comes back. 'ansar' said he will repost a new rom, but i haven't seen it yet.
if anyone can provide us with a base/stock rom, i will write up instructions on how to get to mango (7661) without being dev unlocked once i get there
thanks...ansar help..please find us a stock rom.

What that article doesn't tell you is what version of Zune you need. If you've updated it, uninstall, then install zune from the official zune site. DO NOT WINDOWS UPDATE before you use this program. Plus in the phone, run the Update program, it'll do the rest.
Once it's done, open your phone in the zune software, and check for Device update (not zune software), it'll update to a newer version. Once that first phone update is done, check again, and THATS the Mango beta. The Mango beta will take around 40 minutes and appear unresponsive at times, so be patient.
Enjoy! I absolutely LOVE Mango so far, even though most apps dont multitask yet.

[Q] Samsung Taylor with 7003 build : can I upgrade to MANGO or install android

Hello,
I have samsung taylor with 7003 build and Zune does not update to any build.
Is there any way to upgrade to Mango.
I have seen people inside Microsoft upgrading Taylor to Mango, I am not sure why MS is not allowing this.
If not is there any way to install android on this since I feel that the hardware supports it.
thanks.
can anybody help me for my query

Which ROM? Can I flash build 7004 from a Focus onto a Taylor without bricking it?
If I must flash the original build 7004 for the Taylor, where can I find it? Can anyone share it?

The previous commenter on this is wrong. You cannot update 7003, at least as far as I know. I'm working on a way to do it, but the force update method only works with 7004 and higher.
I know. The problem is that I need ROM 7004 since, don´t ask me why -'cause I don´t know, but mine came with build 7006. So, any method from 7004 to 7008 doesn´t work at all in my case.
Does anyone happen to know the links to diff packages to force update from rom 7006 to rom 7008?

Use one of the update files from this post, if you have changed any files since you rooted you will have to probably restore those files first, if you are completely stock then just flash through CWM. Cheers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334673
Yes, you can update with root as long as you have stock recovery- did you really need to start ANOTHER thread asking this question though? It has been answered by me at least ten times since the update hit my tab at 6 am (that's 5 hours ago).
Please search people!

[Q] problem with the new update

I have a htc one m8 verzion, i have root on my device,my device is from USA and in my country there is no way I import cdma handset.
Now that I know out an update to the device and I really want the update I can not update.
There are some way apart from making room update that I do not really understand these things? Is it because the cone is not letting me update over the air.?
(Im not from america).
Thank's for the helping...

I would suggest following the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159 to update your firmware then flashing a 4.4.3 ROM or if you want the full, stock, update, follow these instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...ent/ruu-m8vzw-4-4-3-s-off-onlynewest-t2873144
you should be S-off first, of course

The update is being sent over the verizon phone networks wireless system.
Since you are not in a country that has verizon wireless you do not have access to the update direct from the phone issuer and will have to use alternative means.
You can try "weaksuace / Firewater combo" but this method seems to only work with the first batch of M8 sold by verizon.
You can try "Sunshine" which is a paid app that will unlock and S-off your phone, success rate to my knowledge is 100%
After successfully completing one of the above you will need to comeback and read the M8 Dev section thread for installing the new firmware, then read the section for installing Stock Rooted 4.4.3 rom or whatever 4.4.3 based rom you like.
Just remember all 4.4.3 based roms require the updated firmware first.
Weaksauce / Firewater combo and Sunshine alternatives were developed by the same dev, you find his directions, discussions and links to his tools and app here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699091
