I am running an HTC Vogue on Cellcom. I have set windows update to run automatically but each time it states that is has failed. The reason is it can not connect to the server. When I configured updates, I did check the box that says use data plan. Any ideas out there?
Thanks,
David
you will not be able to update through that means. Those updates only contain generic updates and would destroy the carrier information. If you need an official ROM check HTC website. Or if you want a different ROM check around this forum.

Has anyone tried this on an HD2 Windows Phone 7? Spoof Build 7008?
How to remove the operator and get your Windows Phone Updates (HTC ONLY)
without comments
Howdy!
So NoDo was finally released this morning. Well, for the EU people anyway (don’t get me started).
Windows Phone 7, by default, stores your operator identifier in a sneaky registry key, which is checked by the Windows Update Client running on the phone. This identifier is then used to check if the updates have been approved for your operator. If they are slow, like Telstra here is in Australia, you’re going to be waiting a long time.
So, let’s tell you how you can “un-brand” (this won’t remove the boot splash screen) your phone so it appears to be a generic handset to the Update Servers.
Your device needs to be dev-unlocked for this to work. Sorry folks.
1.Download this zip file and deploy the 3 xap files onto your device.
2.Run the ChevronWP7.Ringtones.xap and wait till it displays “Ringtones added… and CustClear.provxml underneath”
3.Run the TouchXplorer app, navigate to My DocumentsMy Ringtones click on CustClear.provxml and select Copy from the Application Bar.
4.Navigate back inside TouchXplorer to the Windows folder.
5.Select paste from the Application Bar, this should scroll right to the bottom and put a copy of CustClear.provxml in the Windows folder.
6.Now run the Connection Setup application and click on the Ok button (it’s the one with the tick).
And now you’re done and free to re-connect to Zune and check for updates.
Again, this is ONLY for HTC devices.
Thanks to Rafael for his help.

This is only working with native WP7 devices, I assume.
Native Devices
Maybe, One way to find out? What harm can the update do? We have HSPL and Magldr, both should protect the SPL & Bootloader............
Tried it and it still doesn't detect the nodo update, I'm in the UK by the way so I should have access to it.
I'm in the U.S all the roms that have 7.08 other than boypcc it zune does't say a update is needed. On the boypcc rom it offers the update put the phone is locked so you can't try this out.
Tried it with boypcc's rom and now detects the update but gets stuck at creating a backup in the update process. Guess we'll just have to wait until a proper release with the update is made.
it aint going to make any difference, when your device goes in to flash mode windows installs a driver for a "LEO" device
i just reinstalled windows and at no point was anything on the phone or on the computer pointing to it being a Leo, that i know of, so MS can detect something that isnt right on a reboot and wacks it, if i had a native device to hand it would be intresting to find out what driver its installing, rip it out, update the leo driver installed for our HD2 to the other (correct native) driver. and see what happens.....or of course it may well detect some reg entry as stated, but i doubt thats the real cause as drivers are usually installed by hardware IDs but who knows hey!
Thanks
Thank you all for your input.
Greatly Appreciated
I did a search and came up with nothing.
This is a new phone and I keep gettin this error if I use anything that needs to use a Data connection ( Error 80072FA8 )
Any ideas ??
Ok a frustrating amount of time I stumbled on somthing which workes.
This is for Users on Vodafaone network in Australia or your carrier uses is Vodafone
On the Homescreen, scroll right and select Settings > mobile network or cellular > add apn.
Enter vfinternet.au in the APN field.
Enter the user name and password listed below. If no value is listed, leave the field blank: -
User name:

Depending on your carrier to find somthing I typed into Google
GPRS settings for ----------- ( your carrier name & country )
Help: Cant update via Zune; Error 80072FA8
Hi I'm new here. :angel: I'm encountering the same error code, however on Zune software.
I’ve a Nokia Lumia 800 and I’m encountering these two error codes : 80072FA8 & 801811C5. Second error code only came when I tried to use a samsung data cable.
Just when the phone is connected via Zune, a dialog box appears “Can’t connect to internet through your phone. However, you can still sync items.” Then when I click on update the error code 80072FA8 comes sooner or later. I’ve tried everything that is told in KB 2484484. It seems that the problem is in proxy settings (googling told me this), but I’ve a wireless USB datacard. Proxy settings are not defined here. I don’t know what is causing this problem in checking for updates. MS has pushed 7.8 update and I wanted to check if it’s available in my region (India), if not, there is a way to force push the updates by tricking Zune, so wanted to try that. But my Zune is not even telling me that updates are available or not!
I’m going crazy as my phone is not getting flashed (bootloader problem, I think as many people told) I did everything to get it flashed through Navifirm & Nokia Care Suite, but it only gets hard reset. I sim-unlocked my Lumia 800 which was on Telus (Canada) and now using it in India.
Hi All,
I have recently installed the DFT ROM om my HD2, I want to sync my contacts using my Windows Live account.
I got this message every time I tried to access the network data connection:
"can't connect
We're having a problem connecting to windows live. make sure you have good reception. if you do, the problem may be on the other end. wait a little while and try again"
and if I tried to access gmail:
"Not updated We're having a problem connecting to m.google.com. try again later.
Error Code: 80072FA8"
I tried both data connection and 3G connection.
does this ROM have such problems? what is the best ROM to install instead of my current ROM?
All the other roms are directly based off the original DFT rom. Only major difference would be the chevron is built in. Was fantastic for me since I had all sort of connect problems with chevron. I would use a rom that has that built in.
As far as data goes you would probably have to enter your apn. I had to. Or an easier way would be to load a rom that had chevron built in and download HTC Connection Setup from the market or sideload it and that should straighten that out.
Hello
I know I will be repeating, but i have read many things and they just do not get into my thick head
so let me start
i bought a Samsung Focus from ebay.in (cell-force.in)
i got the phone. it had initial software (i think pre nodo) installed. i connected it to Zune to my PC, it took some time but it installed the latest release, i.e. 7720
now, when i further explored i found that it is not possible to install apps other than marketplace, also the great well known wifi bug
now I need your help
could someone please help me, what should I do to solve this
I want my device to be able to install any application I want
I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)
Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?
I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet
So pleaser held me
By the way, I have WinXP in my laptop, not Win7
Waiting for your help friends

you can if you have unlock (developer or Chevron) and access to the XAP files. as for the wifi bug, I'm not sure what you mean
now I need your help

possible, some you have to buy
I want to connect to wifi (if solution for that ssid but available after rooting/unlocking/jailbreaking my focus)
this should work regardless of where you are in the world. if you can't connect to a wifi then your phone's hardware might have an issue.
Also, if I do jailbreaking, and when any update is available, would I be able to update normally using Zune?
yes
I read about chevron, but I think they do not support 7.5 (7720) yet
no, it only supports OS ver. 7004/7008. You will need to downgrade to 7004 from a rom here, unlock with chevron and install several tools to keep the unlock.

Now, the long bits. I sent this to someone else, but posting it here so others can read. I'll build a newb how-to shortly.
First, you need to be on 7004/7008 OS version (check in settings/about).
If your version is greater than that (739x, 7720) then you need to downgrade to 700x
If your rom is greater than that then read my mini-guide here
Now, you need to unlock, so read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
It has a video tutorial, so it should be easy.
Once unlocked, immediately install Samsung Tools from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497 and run them.
Make sure "prevent relock" is checked (actually everything should be checked) and reset.
Then, install WP7 Root Tools from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1265321
Now, you should be able to sideload.
When you've done all these, you could update to 739x (NoDo) but not all the way to Mango (7720) since you need to do some more steps, which you can also read here (includes all steps):

thanks Sir
you are really very helpful
one last query, can i use winxp for all this. i have read people have trouble using winxp
if not, i will have to update to win7, which is not so easy
You're welcome, good luck!
Yes, you can use XP SP3.
just wanted to share this
i succesfully created apphub account with my university email id
and now i have interop unlocked, and can install 3rd party apps
but still cant connect to wifi (any wifi), even if broadcasting ssid is active, but i cant still connect to wifi
it is hard for me to believe that there is any hardware fault
well lets see, if MS fixes more bugs/adds features in the Nov 7 announcement
fingers crossed

Glad to hear you're sorted, at least for most bits.
I sincerely doubt on Nov 7 they will announce anything else than generation 2 phones and some software. But we'll see.
For your WiFi issue I suggest you try this: install Connectify on a laptop with Windows 7 and share the wireless connection (or a PC with a wireless dongle but with Windows 7). If that doesn't work, your phone has a hardware fault. I know for sure this works with any WP7 phone I've tried.
I'm having troubles with the Marketplace on my WP7.
I installed the HD2 Updatable XBmod Yuki v2.1 rom on my HTC HD2 and installed some new updates with Zune. I currently have OS version 7.0.7392.0.
At first my phone asked for an activation key when I tried to install a new application. I called Microsoft and filled in the activation key they gave me.
Now when I try to install a new application following messages pops up:
"You need to update your phone using the Zune software on your computer. Some Zune and Marketplace experiences may be limited until you have updated."
When I connect to Zune and check for updates it says that my device is up to date.
I've read tons of threads and forums about installing application without the marketplace (e.g. Developer Unlock, ...) but that's not what I want. I just want to be able to downloads apps from the Marketplace.
Is there anyone who has experienced the same problem and who was able to fix it ?
thnx

7392??? current version for yuki rom is 8107 with 8773 coming soon from ms. you need to update wp7. the apps on marketplace probably needs current wp7 to even install. update your wp7 via zune or through the manual update cabs provided by yuki. read both yuki threads.
