Worked fine on my ROM (which is Norwegian). The versions from the UK and NOR site doesn't differ from eachother (at least not in size and date/time).
I applied the update earlier today and so far the time has been accurate. Will give it the night before I say for certain though.
(ROM ver 3.14)
I installed it at 10:15am (7 hours ago) and enabled the Time Synchronoization. So far the phone has not skipped forward in time.
Country: Scotland
Network: T-Mobile
ROM: HTC 1.66 WWE
I downloaded it,but am not going to install as my phone didnt suffer any issue
in the first place (I just collected it in case it does next spring)
My HD2 automatically updated the time and stayed that way without problem...
weird innit ?
It would be VERY helpful if ALL posters could announce
WHICH COUNTRY
and
WHICH ROM
the patch is working/not working
For knowing if the patch works it has to work at least for 12 or 24 hours since my HD2 jumps forward one hour every 12 hours in Austria on a 1.66 GER ROM
For those who use not-stock ROM, there are two ways:
1) make a cab from this exe (it is normal .cab packed with some stuff around it, you can extract it and get _setup.xml and three other files) and install it (haven't done myself)
2) in registry -> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL and here set NITZEnable=dword:0 and TZEnabledAfterReboot=dword:0 and it will not keep allowing time sync anymore. And you gotta hope that your ROM maker will fix this issue in next ROM by applying either the HTC patch or this change .

Totally wrong statement.
The package includes three updated files:
DBConverter.exe
SetSysTimeZone.exe
SetSysTimeZoneImpl.exe
Files ver is 1_0_2021. Original files from the last Leo TMOUS ship have ver 1_0_2016.
So - I just replaced
SetSysTimeZone.exe
SetSysTimeZoneImpl.exe
in :\Windows folder of the device
(I always delete DBConverter.exe from my roms)
Then I enabled NITZ in the registry:
HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL
NITZEnable = 1
TZEnabledAfterReboot = 1
and everything works well on my Leo TMOUS with time sync (before was one hour ahead with NITZ enabled)
My time zone is GMT+2
this update seems to have caused problems with my location and weather updates no longer connect and update and it just shows united kingdom for weather info instead of local ?

I'm having the same problem too. I'm really confused as to what is causing this though.
I'm in the United States running a custom rom I made a while ago that has TMOUS Manila packages. I can't remember which driver version I'm using though since it has been a few months since I cooked the rom
UPDATE: I deleted the files that the hotfix added and weather issue was fixed.

Can you please share the files and the regs of this update exe?
What exactly DBConverter.exe do?
Thank you
nokiaman1978, oaa8 - I have no problems with My Location or Weather update at my place - just did it manually once again on purpose before posting this - everything works well.
::indie::, for a long time I tried to trace - what kind of databases does that dbconverter.exe fixes - and I failed. As far as I failed - I just got rid of it. Normaly such kinda files convert some SQL data or some user attached comments of some media files or whatever.... I don't use it so....
Anyway - two really needed files - are in the attachment.
If you want to use updated files in cooking - just find PACKAGE_LEO_1_5_TimeZoneAutoFix or anything similar in your OEM/EXT (depending on what do you use to dump ship rom) and replace these files

Cab in last post

Hi all,
i am searching for the QuickGps cab.
(i send my phone to repair a screen issue, and they installed a news rom + hard reset, and i dont have anymore the quickgps program)
I have tried differents cabs, and also the one recommended on the link above.
i always get the same result:
- After installing the cab on the phone (internal storage) and not on the SD Card
- rebot
- click on quickgps icon:
"impossible to open the file. it is not signed or one of the components are not avaible"...
I have tried several cabs, and somes "fixed cabs" and nothing; I always get this error or another one (i dont remember exactly, something about empty page...")
any ideas?
For information, my phone HTC Touch HD
rom = SFR (france) 1.14.163.3 32434 FRE
Thanks... for any new hint
Hi together,
If I click on an calendar appointment in the HTC HD2 calendar I get very often the error message "Error encountered for HTCApointment.exe". The same is working if I try to open the appointment in MS outlook! Is there any solution for this HTC calendar problem? :-(
Thanks, alkorsi
Try this:
http://www.htc.com/nl/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=828&news_id=441
I have this with 1.66
I've just put 1.66 on my HTC and I now seem to have the problem of HTCAppointment.exe crashing when I try to look at meeting details on my HD2. I've tried the fix from here...
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=828&news_id=441
but when I try run the EXE on my phone it tells me "this hotfix is not compatible with your device" (even though the download page says "Note: This update is only applicable to all ROM Version.").
Anyone know of any other fix for this?
Maybe someone can send me the HTCAppointment.exe from their device?
Thanks
Are you importing your appointments from somewhere?
There's a possibility you have a corrupt appointment?
I'll upload my .exe if this isn't the case.
HTC Appointment.exe
You'll probably have to disable HTC Sense to copy it in
Using total commander will make it easier
Hope this helps
Thank you very much : it solved the translation problem in the latest Energy ROMs.
It's a 2011 version, but still close enough to the 2018 version I'm replacing to be able to use the same HTCAppointment.exe.040C.mui and behave correctly with the rest of the appointments tab.
I recently found that most of the residual problems came from using WWE builds of executables in localized ROMs.
Though the correct MUI files are present, these programs are simply unable to find and use them, despite the correct country code in the registry ! Even worse : some of them are even unable to run at all in a localized environment !
In our case (european languages), we absolutely need "WesEU" tagged programs, not "WWE" tagged (this information is sometimes accessible from the program's property under Windows, that's how I finally understood what was happening).
Since NRGZ28 builds his ROMs from WWE versions then introduces localized elements, he forgets a lot of WWE only programs in them.
I'm having hard time chasing them all out to put the right versions in my CAB !
The previous one I tracked down was WorldCard Mobile.
This message is now updated with a 100% working, and quick way of changing your language for the X2 device. I have now tested with 4 different languages (fi, en, se and de), and all worked. I also updated the cabs to report to the Update Software that the phone has an old versison. Now it does not compalin that the latest version is installed!
I have tested with these languages: GENERIC_FI, GENERIC_SE, GENERIC_UK and GENERIC_DE. The rest of the cabs are created with the same rules, so they should work to (if not, then please post here which cab does not work).
Before you upgrade, please write down the following info and fill it into the form on the download-page!! I really want this info.
I would like to know which all versions are out there, and how they are connected to the different ID:s and versions!
Code:
Software ID:
Software Version:
Customization ID:
Customization version:
Language Region:
Content version Software language:
In what country the phone is bought:
Otherwise i have to put a special form that requires everyone to fill in this info before you can proceed to download..
Just follow these steps
Get one of these cabs, and save it on yout SD-card (not phone, becaue you will erase the memory during this procedure!):
x2_generic_be.cab
x2_generic_cn.cab
x2_generic_cz.cab
x2_generic_de.cab
x2_generic_dk.cab
x2_generic_en.cab
x2_generic_es.cab
x2_generic_fi.cab
x2_generic_fr.cab
x2_generic_gr.cab
x2_generic_in.cab
x2_generic_it.cab
x2_generic_mea.cab
x2_generic_nl.cab
x2_generic_no.cab
x2_generic_pl.cab
x2_generic_pt.cab
x2_generic_ru.cab
x2_generic_se.cab
x2_generic_sg.cab
x2_generic_tw.cab
x2_generic_uk.cab
x2_sony_us.cab
x2_vodafone_es.cab
x2_polkomtel_pl.cab
Save the cab on your SD-card
Reset the memory of your phone (settings->Clear phone)
After the reboot, you have to align the screen. When finished, the phone starts to install cabs. NOW remove the battery (or press the reset-button on the back of the phone) so that the custom cabs wont get installed
Start the phone again. Now when you get a screen that asks you if you want to continut the installation process, click NO. The phone boots up to default windows mobile with no SE panels etc.
Now install the custom language-cab you downloaded to your SD-card earlier
Turn off the phone
Start the phone and keep the vol-down + power button down till you come tho the white SE screen.
Start the SE Update Software, pick your X2 and click next. Connect the phone to the USB-cable when the software asks you to do so.
After a while, the update-software informs that there is a new software-update available. Just hit next/continue and confirm that the phone's data will be erased.
There is NO need to remove any files on windows, The update software starts to automatically fetch the ROM that matches the installed custom-CAB
Now you notice that the update-software starts to download the new ROM (over 125Mb). If for some reason the upgrade does not start to install (eg. one case was with a demo X2 phone), then just let the phone complete the custom cab-installation It does a factory-reset before it resumes the install)
Below are the different language-versions available. I have not yet had time to create cabs for other languages, but if you need a specific language, then post to this thread a request so that i can create a custom cab for that language.
It would be nice if you would report to this thread if you succeed or not with this upgrade!
So, here is a list of available regions that i simply picked up from listigs of ROM:s To get the MR2-release, it has to have been released by SE...
Code:
Belgium - GENERIC_BE
Czech - GENERIC_CZ
Danish - GENERIC_DK
Dutch - GENERIC_NL
English (Generic) - GENERIC_EN
English (UK) - GENERIC_UK
Finnish - GENERIC_FI
French - GENERIC_FR
German - GENERIC_DE
Greek - GENERIC_GR
Indian - GENERIC_IN
Middle East - GENERIC_MEA
Polish - GENERIC_PL
Portuguese - GENERIC_PT
Russian - GENERIC_RU
Singapore - GENERIC_SG
Spanish - GENERIC_ES
Swedish - GENERIC_SE
Taiwan - GENERIC_TW
etc...
Needless to say that you do these tweaks on your own risk
There are two other files that go along with this, and i can confirm that it did not work for me.
ill see if i can get the other file names. but i belive there may be another thread floatinga round that has suggested this as well.
Do you mean this one?

The second file contained a readme
12:00 pm 02/26/2010

I guess you are trying to install the russian version, right?
What you showed on the above screencapture is an Uk-version of the X2.
To figure out more precisely what went wrong, you need to confirm to me that you followed all steps i have explained in the first post of this thread.
i gave my phone back to the seller because it was prototype version of the x2

I think that the hardware is the same, but with an old software.
Did you
Reset the phone
Cancel the installation of the cabs after aligning the screen?
Install the generic_ru cab?
I did this, and i had an russian x2 with the latest R3A software...
So my opinion is that you gave back a great phone!
.
yes i did like you but still was the same.
now i'm going to buy SE X10

I had a couple of times that the update did not work on the first time. What i did was that i rebooted the phone, and when it asked if i want to continue the cancelled update-process i answer yes. Now the phone asks you to accept a reset. After accepting, the phone reboots, and you are at stage one again when the phone asks you to align the screen. Again when finished, cancel the update-process by removing the battery.
Now install your generic_XX cab (download a fresh copy of it!).
Now reboot your phone at least one time. What you could do is paste the content of the following files (you can get to them via ActiveSync):
\windows\swVersionCust.txt
\windows\swvercust.txt
\windows\swVersionProduct.txt

Thank you for your solution, i think soft-reset after installing cab is mandatory.
All work as you describe, I've just flashed my X2 from English to Russian.

Great to hear that this worked I have now for fun installed 5 different languages
Spanish Cab
Thank you for the amazing work.
Is posible get the spanish cab for the procedure ??
Regards,
Eric
thanks hertell
since we don't have SPL yet, I suggest this thread being stickyed
Some suggestions:
1.- a spanish CAB ??
2.- many users vahe tryed and tryed everything before with no success, which means their PC SEUS SOFTWARE IS ALREADY MARKED with their current I-wanna-get-rid-of language. this prevents the installation of a new language...
May I suggest you to include anohter step into your guide:
UNINSTALL SEUS FROM THE PC and reinstall it after the lang CAB has been installed
OR
delete folder C:\Program Files\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db

Regarding the re-installation of SEUS, or deleting the files, i say that that's pointless. I have not done that, and i can install any of my tested languages directly without having to every time download them... SEUS can even resume nicely uncomplete downloads!
I think that the Spanish language has not yet been released, but as soon that will be released, then i'll create a new cab for with spanish language.
There is one thing that puzzles me, and I would like to know a bit more about what they mean (This is an example from the GENERIC_UK rom):
Software Id: 1230-2799
Customization Id: 1231-4909
Customization Version: R22A
What do these values mean? I would apreciate if someone could explain me more in detail, and if someone could point me to a complete, then that would be even better!
If this is some kind of flavour of each specific language, then it's not a big deal for me to create a custom cab for each of these flavours.
I just added two Spanish cabs: Standard + Vodafone. With this you can change your language to Spanish. Currently there is no spanish MR2 release, but you should get the spanish previous version installed.

Man I just want to tell you that you have done an amazing job.
Thanks!!
Thank you!!
My phone is currently in Europe as i did not want to risk "bricking" it myself: better to blame someone else if it happens But you have some pretty clear instructions so if I were to do it myself, I dont think that I would have a problem.
I sent this as a link for a more experienced tech to follow and make the change from Czech to English.
Unfortunately I do not know the the answers to the questions that you recently posted on your first post in this thread but as soon as i get it back I can try to find out what I can: albeit it will already be too late because it would have been changed already.
Anyways thank you again so much for figuring this out. Dealing with SE is so frustrating: "you bought the phone in Slovakia therefore it is not meant to be used anywhere else." WHAAAAA??!?!?!? Darn SE... have some product support for once.
hi hertell,i try to change language to my xperia but every time it return vodafone spain.I try with generic_it and generic _es but seus upgrade evry time firmware vodafone
So, the same problem with "You phone already has the latest available software installed" with only button "Exit" in SEUS.
Trying all variants described there with no luck....
hello chef central
i have two problems with rebuilding my kitchen
the first problem is when i go to file explorer and choose a page where you could scroll down and reached the lowest point it went a little further and then bounced back to the end(hope you get what i mean as i cant phrase it better)
i lost my kitchen due to a faulty hard drive so i am rebuilding it and now i lost that option:S
im using the same tweaks as i had a backup of my regtweaks so that aint the problem
im also using the same htcscroll package as the rom where it worked so that aint the problem either i think
does some one know where to look or what to change to make this happen again
the second problem is automated time and date
when i cook a clean rom(with all tweaks in it) i get oobe and when thats finished it gets me to the homescreen
within a minute it downloads the date/time and weather data
when i cook a full with visual mods it doesnt work anymore:s
so im guessing its a manilla file that is holding back on it
how is it possible that a manilla file prevents to download date/time settings? and does some one has a idea wich file it could be?
edit: and the last question
when i create a dutch full rom it says it has 645 modules and when i make the same packages in wwe it says 636 modules:S
there arent any modules hidden in language packs right?
edit2: found the difference in modules
in the syslanguages the wwe has less files then the nld
someone know a explenation why its this way as everything works like it should in wwe and you wouldnt think it would if things are missing:s
you are just excellent...you provided answer for your own question!
Seriously, I am glad you solved it though..

to come back to my own question i think for the date/time thing i whas to quickcause i have seen it working now a couple of times on my full rom:-o
so i think a manilla file wont stop it
i thought it whas kinda starnge as timezonefix package dont have manilla files in it
i thought it maybe whas a manilla file as i have transparancies for date and calander things on the homescreen and thats why i thought that maybe whas the problem
i still havent found the problem for th bouncing at the end of a list when scrolling in the fle explorer
i do noticed that when i hold a sec and then try it i have the bounceing thingie:S
probably a reg setting not good
can someone tell me wich package is for file explorer?
i search in the kitchen directory for file explorer doesnt give any results
hmmm nobody can tell me wich package is for file explorer?
still busy with the bounce when reaching the end of a list in file explorer
i have it everywhere except there
IMPORTANT:
If you are having issues with the lockscreen settings or selecting the theme color, make sure all your language cabs have been updated.
This is usually caused by missing a langauge cab

Like title says: WP7.8 is out, has anyone gotten an update, without installing via cabsender?
The important question is if there are any oem updates out, and if there are if anyone can capture their urls.
Edit: my install history: shipped with 7720 -> manually updated to 8773 -> manually updated to 8858, it installs and seems to be working fine with 7720 drivers.
Need to test more thoroughly though, but it installed and boots.

Tried updating using the force update method, Zune came back with "Update ready for 7.10.8779.8", which I tried to update to, but then during the backup the update failed. I'm pretty sure the 7.10.8779.8 is a Nokia only update, but I am not sure.
Will try updating again over the next few days, see what happens.

8779 is a generic update, and it always has been.
It was simply not released widely and noone bothered to leak the update urls.
You have to upgrade though 8779 to get to 8858, everyone that recieved updates to 8858 did so

"Simply open Zune and go to the Settings. Now instead of just clicking on the 'Update' button and waiting, what you need to do is disconnect your computer from the internet while Zune is still checking for the update. You need to do this about 3-4 seconds after you see the 'Checking for Updates' progress bar pop up. It may take a few tries, but eventually it should work."

My backup was taking too long on the force update method, so I deleted all my music and videos and some of the apps, then had to perform the force update method 3 times, and the last update was 7.8!!

I updated using cab sender method, and it worked like a charm. However, as I notice, a contact still miss the entry of "Mobile 2" (unlike Windows Phone 8). Do all of you think it's as intended to miss this entry?

What does that mean? I dont use my VP as a primary.
Do you mean that for a contact with 2 stored phone numbers it doesnt allow you to enter it/it doesnt pick it up when searching/something else?

Hi Manii, in Windows Phone 7.8, you're able to save a contact with
Mobile
Home
Home 2
Work
Work 2
Company
Pager
Home fax
Work fax
However, on Windows 8 you have one more field: Mobile 2. The shortcoming from Windows 7.8 is, once one of my friend has more than 1 number, I will have to store the second one as "Home", not "Mobile 2" and this number can not be texted directly (SMS).
We can workaround it, however stock support is better for sure!

Hey Rreverse can you explain how you do the cab method? I'd love to force update my phone.
Thanks

You're right about that: I can confirm that mobile 2 is strangely missing, WP7 itself simply does not support it.
You can add "mobile 2" via the win8 people app or the the people section of live.com and it simply does not appear.
MS/Live accounts simply are not able to handle custom labels on fields period, if you're like me and use gApps as your primary account source and have custom labels: they simply do not appear at all via live connected apps (wp7/win8/live.com).
You would need either to be less descriptive or have multiple entries to replicate the same thing via live accounts.
You cant even manually create a "mobile 2" label and expect it to show up under wp7.
You would need to completely bypass live accounts to add custom fields, it's an inherent limitation of live.
That or live with the fact you would simply have no way of syncing at least that to live.

"Simply open Zune and go to the Settings. Now instead of just clicking on the 'Update' button and waiting, what you need to do is disconnect your computer from the internet while Zune is still checking for the update. You need to do this about 3-4 seconds after you see the 'Checking for Updates' progress bar pop up. It may take a few tries, but eventually it should work."

If you're already on Tango (8773), just download these CABs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37384687&postcount=1478, repeating procedure separately for each update pack. Actually, I always used English (US) language, so downloaded only corresponding packages:
For first update downloaded:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/05/diff-7.10.8773.98-7.10.8779.8-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_b9598a098a3a4e902d043cef778a79ff3e6b0869.cab
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/05/diff-7.10.8773.98-7.10.8779.8-armv7-retail-microsoft.lang_0409.pks_4d87f62a11c7898a516df7563a9333e1082fad57.cab
And installed using CAB Sender (for instructions on using it, look at this post).
Then, did the same for two other update packs.
Second one:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/10/diff-iucorefixed-7.10.8779.8-7.10.8783.12-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_8a50b92b21951c7baf9f3600cea8c77e0918021f.cab
Third one:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/11/diff-7.10.8783.12-7.10.8858.136-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_d6fb2a271eed6a5d1187b17aba60806753d0ffce.cab

Of course, if you use other language than English (US), you will need other lang packs from each update as well (notice *lang_0409* in package names here).
After installing 3rd update pack, you will be successfully running Windows Phone 7.8.
Good luck!

ya it works, I got my Tmobile DVP up using the cab sender method to 7.8.
Someone wanna comment on the firmware for the bootloader/radio etc?
Here are my Specs:
OS: 7.10.8858.136
Firmware: 2250.1800.7720.219
Hardware: 112.576.2.0
Radio: 2.2.50.18
Bootloader: 7.27.1.0
To be honest I feel that 7.8 made the device slower for me. 7.5 Mango was much faster. Just my experience.
