Hi everybody,
I just got a Dell Venue Pro with Windows Phone 7. I saw a post about a possible update to Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango?), however it seems that the latest software versions are 7.0.XXXX.XX. Were there 7.1-7.4 updates that were missed?
Note: I have browsed XDA for information regarding my mobile devices and just registered.
Thanks for help! Sorry for any ignorance, I am new to smartphones.
All current MS phones will have Mango deployed on them.
All current devices will get the Mango update. The 7.5 designation is mostly to visualize the large leap from what is considered 7.0 (everything prior to Mango), and the Mango update. Its a pretty massive update, so they want to make the name show that, just as the next big one after that will most likely be Windows Phone OS version 8.
Current versions are 7.0.7390.0 (NoDo updtae) and 7.0.7392.0 (with latest security update still being deployed)
Isn't Mango 7.1 ?

Some blogs have run with some story about 7.1, but as far as anything concrete, its all been 7.5.

No..
This is the first time I will say this but, if you really like Windows Phone 7, sell your Android device and get a Widows Phone 7 device. Best choice you can make
Yes. If not.... can someone enlighten me?
It will just take a lot of work and won't be near feasible to even support. Cellphone adoption rate says its better to just go buy the phone.

It's technically possible if the phone is using a Snapdragon processor, but so far no one has figure out how to hack the Windows Phone bootloader onto those devices.
So no or at least not currently.
No, because wp7 and android uses another hardware.

You meant to attach any link?
i belive it's called launcher 7, it's ok but not great. So far the only device that has had the WP7 OS ported to it has been the HD2 because 1.) it had a partial internal build from HTC, and 2.) the HD2 has probably the largest community support of any device aside from the iPhone.
Thanks for your quick response.
I do think the OP asked about OS not theme
So from what I understand my Galaxy ain't gonna eat WP7 and that's something that's neva gonna happen.

It is far too early to say.
Before it goes through Windows Phone 8.1
First lets anticipate 8.1 update before thinking of any other updates
MS will announce soon, but so far they have said that all phones running 8 out of the box will run 8.1

Me talking about my experience with RT
I bought a Surface RT with a touch keyboard for $250 on black Friday in 2012 or 2013 I don't remember. I was blown away at how well the device worked but I wanted to expand the capabilities of it. So after a lot of poking around on this site and spending a lot of time I got things to work better. For example:
I wanted to play old Humongous Entertainment games (ScummVM)
I wanted to host a wireless network using the Surface
I wanted to dual boot RT 8.0 and 8.1
I wanted an easy way to enable and disable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)
I wanted a button that I could use with touch to press esc
Thanks to Netham45 making and clrokr finding an exploit on Windows RT 8.0 we could run recompiled desktop apps (Number 1) so I packed ScummVM and SDL and zlib1 into a zip. Then to use touch in ScummVM while having ScummVM fill the screen you need to do the following:
Move the task bar to the left or right of the screen
Control panel->Display->Custom Sizing options->150%
I wrote a batch file for Number 2. I have a word document explaining what I did for dual boot. I will make a batch file later. For Number 4 I was looking for a 1 click method to enable and disable ICS the Batch file does that. For the last one I used visual basic.

What will the final product be like?
Hopefully I have enough support to get to beta then to final. It should:
Be a one click installer that can run on RT 8.0 or RT 8.1
Auto detect your OS (RT8.0 or 8.1)
Ask you full or custom.
If full it will install as much as it can given your OS
If on RT 8.1 it will install:
Wireless Hosted Network
ICS
Keypresser
Dualboot of 8.0 (Just asking you to input the path to install .wim)
If on RT 8.0 it will install:
Jailbreak
7-zip
ICS
Wireless Hosted Network
Keypresser
If custom it will ask what you want to install from a list of tools that can be installed based on your OS

Hi,
That sounds really good. You said "both versions of RT that is 8.0, 8.1.", so that mean JB for RT 8.1??
Thanks!

No, he's using the same jailbreak available for RT 8, hence the reason there's a dual boot option, for 8 and 8.1 so you can switch to 8.1 whenever you don't need to run something on 8.
Hello, that project sounds very nice. It could bring hope to Windows RT users, especially me.
Good luck !
Project Update
Hi everyone,
I have been busy these past few weeks so I have not been able to respond to replys. Sorry. Also I have been working more and more on this project:
I have a vision for the final product to be an auto installing/extracting zip file
I now have some Questions for you guy's:
What do you want to do on your RT's?
Has anybody tested the alpha tools? Like them? What else do you want in them?
Do you want GUI or CMD tools? It is easier to prepare CMD but maybe not as nice looking or good for touch.
I started a dual boot batch flow chart.
Once again thanks for all your support! I need lots to continue this project into beta.
Thanks,

Like someone else said; nope. You need myriachan's Secure boot disable on 8.1 to JB 8.1. I can, with myriachan's Secure boot disable, load Kernel drivers on 8.1 now so I basically have a JB.

Support to do it on 8.1
I would like to be able to run it without downgrading. Sadly, I can't downgrade without my files being toast for some reason (onedrive doesn't like them if I downgrade for some reason ) start with CMD tools, and only if people are really bemoaning about how there are no GUI tools, then create them. People aren't complaining about how the jailbreak is CMD and not GUI
waiting for update as a man who have Surface RT everyday.

Myriachan has posted on twitter that she allow XDA Developers who knows the JB for 8.1 to release it 1 week after Windows 10 release date. That could be integrate it into the tool??

Yes. When the secure boot disabler is released, I will integrate it into the tools package.
Just letting everyone know I'm still working on this...

Dual Booting on 32GB Model
Hey, was just wondering. My surface rt has been doing some solid work for quite some time and I'm rather satisfied with it. Some slow downs and maybe a few freezes, but my main concern is that the os alone takes almost more than half of my entire storage capacity. Would dual booting be unsafe for the 32GB surface rt users?
I dual boot my 32gb surface RT all the time. I've never had the problems you are talking about. Then again I moved my user profile to my 32gb SD ???

Now that's the best news I've heard in a long time! And maybe if we're lucky it'll even work with the RT Update that it's getting instead of Windows 10.

Hi,
I know - silly question - still, would it be possible to flash this phone with Windows 10 mobile?
SoC is the same as in Lumia 950 XL as far as I can see...
Any thoughts?

It may be the same SoC but the motherboard , camera, screen, many other things are different which means it wont work and windows is closed source, it cant be ported.
Shame .
I like Windows but since there is hardly any choice of phones no wonder it goes down .
Thanks for answer.
