[Q] Updating HTC Mazaa to Windows Phone 7.8? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, just started new job and found out we got HTC Mazaa for testing. The thing is it got WP7.5 Mango build 7.10.7720, check for updates shows nothing.
The question is what is the best approach for updating this device to latest Windows Phone 7.8? Should I use the Seven-Eighter tool described here?
http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/want_windows_phone_7.8_now_try_this_easy_tool-01-31-13
Is here anyone with HTC Mazaa who already updated the device to latest OS? Is it stable when there was no newer firmware update since 7.10.7720?
Thanks for answer

Mazaa is a special device. Also Mazaa has 7.8 rom. Available at the same place where you got the Mazaa from (just a tip)

I have updated my Mazaa to 7.8 - you only have to follow the same setup that you would to force update any WP device, using the cab sender tool.

Official Mango update 7.10.7720.68 for Trophy

Hi guys,
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cd831bc/n/RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE.exe
Back up your data before, you will loose all.
If your Trophy is branded, use the gold card method:

It worked well for me!
I wish you all a nice weekend!
Thank you. This works fine for me as well.
Would this work for the Verizon Trophy? I'm a bit confused at the difference between the Verizon Trophy (SparkW, I believe?) and the other models, but there seems to be a difference. At least there is in trying to install the DFT ROMs.
Thanks!

If you have the Verizon Version, AKA the Spark_W. DO NOT ATTEMPT the GSM roms.
They will Brick your device. There is no current NoDO (AKA factory rom) available for the Verizon HTC Trophy, so if you got there, there is no way possable to attempt to get your phone up and running again.
I wish someone would release a Verizon NoDO rom that works, so we can play with out as much worry.

both download link are same. no differences, i think.
Anyway in 1-2 weeks, mango is comming, confirmed with M$
I'm on the Mango RTM now & had no success using the timing hack. Anyone has any idea if there even is a "HTC Update for Windows Phone" for the Trophy? On a GSM Trophy in Singapore.
Thx!
What system languages are available in this ROM? I got the official Mango update yesterday, but Swedish is not available as a system language there (only same as before: English, German, Spanish,..)

Yes, I got a "HTC update for Windows Phone". I was on Mango RTM before and successfully updated just now. Not sure if this is the official Mango but I do see the firmware is updated. No more "not for sale" during boot up.
Is this the only update required for official Mango?
No bro GoingInside, that probably means you were on Build 7714. So you probably got 2 updates from 7720 -> HTC update, yes?

Bro e_t,
Mine should be mango, just not 100%sure if it's RTM or official Mango. I was on RTM Mango all the while. Recieved a msg from M1 (yes, I'm from Singapore) on Wednesday afternoon regarding a new update.
I did not roll back to noDo and just connect my phone to Zune while still on RTM mango. Immediately got a "HTC update for Windows Phone" and proceed to update. Once update is completed, I applied the CustClear.provxml trick and now my Phone is still chevon unlocked. All previously side loaded apps are working, including the Mango apps such as Whatsapp. Followings are observed after update:
1. Connected Media works (was not working in RTM mango)
2. During boot up, no "Not For Sale" logo
3. OS Version is still 7.10.7720.68
4. Firmware is updated: 2250.21.40601.707 (was 2250.21.12200.707)
5. Radio software and Bootloader version are also updated
This is the only update I received. So mine is 100% official mango?
Yes, but looks like your upgrade path to RTM is different from mine, coz I dun have the Not for Sales splash screen.
Yes, you're now officially Mango. I wonder if my upgrade last time affected anything coz I did not flash all the cabs when I move from RC to RTM.
Bro GoingInside, you said u got a msg from M1 as in SMS?
i downloaded and installed DFT 7720 rom
Compare with the Official 7720 is same, so i wont go to official mango
Bro stussy, I don't wanna lose any data & I'm don't side-load apps so I prefer to go with the official ROM. Now all I need is the HTC firmware upgrade for Asia WWE. Either that or the cab file so I can use UpdateWP.exe to manual update...

Got a message from 'someone' but don't think it's an SMS cos I cannot find it in my MESSAGING. Can't remember exactly what's inside the msg cos I was having lunch and just brushed it off.
But confirm I got an SMS from M1 (20000) later: "please rate the service you just received from M1 Officer: 1-very good, 2-Good, 3-Average, 4-below average, 5-Poor. Thank you."
After that got another SMS from 53011 (M1?): "A new service/update has been added to your M1 Xplorer Menu. Pls restart phone to refresh the menu. This msg & update svc is free." I did a restart but didn't observe any difference.
Maybe you would like to give M1 a call to check with them.

Can you confirm if connected media is working? This only works after I did the HTC drive update.
The M1 Xplorer thingy is for Feature (dumb) Phones using Java Midlet &/or SIM card based application. They used to have a Xplorer software for Windows Mobile but it is not applicable for Windows Phone 7. I also have this message but it's not for Mango rollout. Sigh...
Microsoft has expanded Mango rollout to 50%. Looks like I'm not there too.

You will first have to check what is your current OS version. To Check go to Settings>>About>>More Info and there will be a line which gives the OS Current OS version. it should say
7.0.7392.0 which is the Nodo update
or
7.1.7720.68 which is the mango update.
check the link for more details http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/update-history.aspx
However Mango Update is not been officially released yet.
Mango is the next big update for Windows Phone 7 with up to 500 new features and bug fixes as claimed by Microsoft.
hi
i have just checked my phone and it says OS version 7.0.7390.0
this is lower than the versions you have stated but when i ask the phone to check for updates via zume it says my phone up to date.
am i missing an update or am i tryin to update wrong?
If you're capable of flashing roms by yourself, you can start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195647
and you can probably flash this: (don't take my word for it though)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255112
If you don't have a clue about flashing, don't worry about it, I'm sure the Zune software will let you know when there's an official update.

[Q] Htc Trophy internet sharing

Will HTC Trophy get internet sharing ,or not ?
Depends if they release a firmware update after mango for it which includes the drivers. Waiting for my Surround so in the same boat.

If you've got an European Trophy u could flash it with the latest HTC Shipped Mango ROM.
RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_5.10.401.06_5.69.09_RELEASE
That's the HTC Trophy one with internet sharing, flashed it a while ago myself, works great.
Will it also include Danish UI ?
Wishing for this for a Verizon wireless HTC Trophy but, no luck

Not this ROM, but I think there are other ways to add Danish, not sure how though, check out the Development and Hacking section.

Indeed, I guess u can always flash it with the new DFT Freedom ROM V2 when it comes out, should have internet sharing.
I wonder if flashing a ROM with the RRU will wipe out my device (e.g. remove the interop unlock which is required for my current work) or just update the current OS (and Keep the Tools to unlock)
// will there be a Zune Update available?

Pretty sure it wipes the entire device, also u can't have HSPL installed, says it will brick your device. I had to apply the dev unlock again after flashing.

Probably eventually.

Also got it 2 days ago ,Denmark on 3
can someone post the driver (S) here? Thanks.

[Q] ROM update

I've got the Windows mobile 6.1 ROM version 5.2.20764 from 2008
There is an update available on the european HTC website. This will update the device to 5.05.478.1
This update is from 2009, but it looks like an older version (05 and 2). Is this a newer update or is it better to keep the old version? There is also an update to 5.10.172.2 but this update is from Vodaphone which is not my provider. Is this update newer and safe to download (so I can still call and stuff)?
yeach, all update original rom already in http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
Thanks, but does this mean I have the latest ROM? Because I don't know if it's updated since it's bought, because I'm not the first owner.

Can you run software updates on roms?

I understand this might be a dumb question, but once you install a rom on your phone can you update your phone's software like normal to a newer version(if there are updates to be had) or do you have to install a new rom instead? I currently have Android running on my HD2, but my girlfriend wants a WP7 rom & she was curious if, once she had it installed, she could update it to the newest version naturally as updates came out or if that might ruin the rom. Again I know this question is probably very novice, but I thought it was a good one.
The HTC HD2 has a fully functional WP7 Mango and it won't get updated to Windows 8 (Like ALL the phones including the Lumias)
So there won't be any updates avaliable.

Thanks for your reply Georges! I guess I was just curious if I ran a rom that was based on an older version of WP7 for any reason(like 7.0), if I could do updates on it from Microsoft or if I needed to just flash an entirely new rom. Also, if I can't update then I suppose I was wondering if you could supply a link to a really good WP7 rom thread that is running the newest version. I checked the Microsoft site and apparently the newest version is 7.10.8773.98 (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/update-history.aspx). I found this one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665651), but it seems to suggest you need to have a Lumia phone. Not sure.
