i am wanting some help to do with my htc hd2 running windows phone 7 with the dft rom and mgldr and when i have my phone connected to my computer it brings up there is an update available but it always times out and i have tried rectifying the problem by downloading the windows phone support tool BUT this is where the problem is, i cant use this tool because the buttons on the phone have changed when the dft rom and mgldr have been installed and now i cant get my phone onto the connect to pc image screen for windows which is a black screen with the phone, cable and a laptop in it, the updates through zune will then be accepted it fails on the last step every time please help!!!! many thanks jamie.
Yes there is a update from Microsoft available for WP7 called NoDo. But a working adaptation of it for the HD2 is not available yet. It was a video released a while back showing NoDo copy and Paste feature working on the HD2 by the DFT. But it kind of seem to be holding out for the Mangoo update or something because a ROM that can either receive the update or has the update included in it has yet to surface that I know of.
So just to make sure you understand, you can not install the update no matter what you do right now. Unless you would like to jump in and steal the spot light for a minute and be the one that officially released said ROM. That is if you are so minded to do it, I personally would love to but I do not have the knowledge to do so yet.

I got a text message from TMobile today saying there is new software and new feature improvements for my HD2. I clicked on the website they gave me and here is what the pop up window says,:
" A software upgrade is available for HTC HD2 customers at www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade. Please be aware that after you upgrade the phone It is normal for the device to run slowly and the battery to drain at a higher rate for a short period of time. This is caused by applications that might be performing an initial sync, such as, Outlook or a personal e-mail account, or the device updating applications like weather and location. It may take up to four hours to complete all syncing.Important: Please read the steps on How do I perform a device software upgrade before moving forward. The software update is only designed to update the software version from 2.10.531.1 and 2.13.531.1 to 3.14.531.1.
The upgrade process is easy!
Download the new software to your PC. You will be instructed to enter the 15-digit IMEI number for your device to access the download.
Ensure ActiveSync 4.5 for computers using Windows XP or earlier or use Windows Mobile Device Center for computers using Vista and Windows 7 is installed on your PC. If you have not installed ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, you can install it from your Getting Started CD or download it from the Microsoft website.
Connect your HTC HD2 MR to your computer using the USB Sync Cable that came with the phone.
Establish a connection. You will know this is complete when the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center icon in your PC taskbar is lit green and the status is "Connected".
Ensure that your T-Mobile HTC HD2 MR has a battery charge that is greater than 50% (two bars).
Remove your MicroSD card from the device if you have one inserted. Do not reinsert the SD card until after the software installation process is complete and the phone is ready to use.
Run the software update program you downloaded to your PC and follow the on-screen commands.
Below is the list of available downloads. Please select the download of your choice.
T-Mobile HD2 MR Software Updates
T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1)"
I'm not sure if the chefs plan on upgrading our roms or what but it's nice to know the HD2 got some love with WP7 on the extremely near horizon.
Just found the other thread. Wow - some people got the text on the 19th and I just got mine. Crazy sucky! Please lock this thread.
No text yet
So i haven't gotten any text from tmob yet so deciced to check and download it. well if anybody is wondering if the one released by tmob is different than the one released two weeks ago are different? the answer is yes. the radio versions are different, as is a few minor things. going to give it a few days to compare the two. the one released two weeks ago was the first time i ever stuck with a stock that long, and now going to give this a try.
Wow! that fast with another upgrade. i keep loving my tmous hd2 more and more.

Okay - then let's not lock this thread!!!!! Yippee I did something right.
Download For: T-Mobile HD2 MR
Download: T-Mobile HD2 MR Software (Version 3.14.531.1 )
Date Updated: 9/23/10
Size: 209 MB
Still think its new?
Yeah, I did it but I don't know what's wrong: when I looked for the Software information, and checked the OS version, it's now like this: OS version: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94). Is it Windows Mobile current version? Did ROM upgrade downgrade Windows version?
I know it might seem stupid, but I am really concerned...
Thanks in advance for help!
No, 21913 is one of the latest we've seen of COM2 line. If you had cooked one before then you had some bigger number probably, due to different branch...
What about Abroad Tmob devices ??
Guyys .., I'm Using a Tmob HD2 in Srilanka. Got it unlocked and using it. I've got one of those 17 digit IMEI's and ROM version of 2.13.

Yeah, it's a Tmobile version of HD2 and yes it has a 1GB rom.

The file is too large to post here. Check the development Forums for links to the stock ROMs. But it is really easiest and safest to go to HTC, enter your IMEI, and get the right ROM from them.
What will we have to do. Will we get the upgrade automatically or will we have to install the new version once it's hacked? Thanks.
Maybe we all have to wait for the devs to import the update in their build.. I think we can not update our device since is not activated and an Official WP7 device!

1.) You can activate your phone by simply get a key from microsoft
2.) And the HD2 thinks with a little trick, that it is a real HD7
Manual: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10936215#post10936215
And we will recieve updates, all updates. If they don't change something with the bootloader, we will have no problems. But if they do, it could be possible that we're not able to start the phone anymore without flashing WP7 without updates again, so at first be aware of installing updates.
Thanks for clarify it mate!
MS have no real reason to mess around with the bootloader and I even think that they can't at all, because Samsung, LG, HTC and Dell all use their own proprietery bootloaders. It's not like changing one bootloader but at least 4. And nobody would do it just in order to prevent some HD2's from updating. It would contradict totally to the relaxed way MS are giving away activation codes.
The WP7 rom for hd2 had to be modified to work on the HD2... I don't think the MS updates will work on it. We'll have to wait and see what happens when MS does the update. I think we'll have to wait for the devs to release updated roms.
Has anyone heard any word out of DFT on a ripe Mango for HD2??
I know there was some speculation that they might not release it until after the official Mango release, so I'm wondering if there's been and rumblings now that the Fujitsu-Toshiba phone was released yesterday.
If I can't get it on my HD2, I'll probably rush to get the first Mango device that hits US shelves, and likely regret it once something better comes out. At lease if I hear something is on the horrizon for the HD2, I'll be much more inclined to wait to see the hardware options.
Hi,
There have been some development, although not from DFT,
check this page: http://wmpoweruser.com/wp7-5-mango-rtm-rom-nearly-ready/

Everything on this side gentleman

SD support is broke so there isn't any actual point in flashing Mango tomorrow, you can play around with it, but you'll have serious data storage problems as you'll only have a couple of MB to actually use.
DFT/Cotulla have said something about wanting to wait for Mango to be released officially before releasing, but I don't know if that is actually a soon release or something in a couple of months time.
does anyone have an ETA?
On the thread linked earlier, YukiXDA has implied something will be available tonight. Whether they will have rectified the SD issue by then remains to be seen.
I'd say it is coming soon though (and will be updateable )
there a way to get 7720. havent be able to do it yet but i have got 7712 fully working without any bugs
7712 - 7720
Is 7712 working with SD including partition (to allow dual boot Android on SD)? How did you get there?
I have seen some other threads suggesting you can update 7712 to 7720 using Zune, does this work on your 7712 build?

I think this page covers updating from 7712 to 7720 but there are still unresolved problems with SD card/partition, unless anyone has an update

This page covers a new rom starting at 7004 and going all the way through to Nodo via Zune and then Mango when MS release it via Zune. Or you can go from Nodo to Mango via the dev route if you can't wait.
Yeh the SD card gets locked to WP7 but seriously why would you want to dual boot Android and WP7... just pick one and go with it, what's the point in dual booting?

(1) I use for both work and home use and
(2) I am confident enough to rely on Android but Mango is not (yet) fully reliable
Pre-Mango WP7 lacks some features so (for now) I am using 6.5 + Android
New Bada 2.0 roms and a Mango release this week.
This is what they said 3 hours ago. Maybe it is i8700xxki1..what do you think about it?
If so, really thanks to Samfirmware
Can you post a link or a screenshot to where you found this info? I'm watching samfirmware posts on twitter and saw nothing about a new windows phone firmware release. Thanks
Its on facebook
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
After the bashing session topic below, it would say much about their character if they do.
Can't wait for no more. Very eager. Hope hidden wifi issue will be solved in the next generation....
It might be official version which will be provided by Samsung... via Zune.

yeah, rumours are that it will be out oh thursday
According to me it is KI1 and it has new radio/firm/boot as kh2 with the "only" difference it has official Mango and no brand. Really hope so. Thanks again SamFirmware
EDIT : i can see no more the post on facebook. Can you? I think they cleaned it
Edit 2: Official answer by SamFirmware "Moderator post to fast something. Communication problem. That why we removed. Sorry." No ROMs coming this week. Thread can be closed.

Communication problem? Maybe some English lessons would help them cause I can't make any sense of what they said there.
so, we will see!
Their English is not one of the best, but please try to understand. English is difficult for everyone who comes from all the countries except for uk/us/australia etc...i understood everything they said so we don't need to insult them.
Anyway the final mango ROM is coming in 2 days via zune. Why not just wait for it?
That is not a rom. First of all a rom contains new firmware/radio and bootloader, the "thing" that should come in 2 days is an "update", Mango 7720.68. Secondly Samsung said one month ago that before Mango update they would have released a firmware update to let us receive Mango. Before that we won't be able to get Mango, so I think we will have to wait for long time yet..
just think a second, all the people that don't know this forum and are not able to flash the phone how do they could update, the official mango release for everyone and every brand of cell phone will come through Zune
brands like samsung...htc...they have the rtm and customize it for their phones then they send it back to ms and will be released through Zune

Radio and bootloader ARE updated through imageupdate, check package MODEM - it contains both radio and bootloader.
One would assume that they would make one big update containing all of this stuff - Omnia 7 can receive Mango update, we already tried it with the XXKH2 ROM's .pks that was with it. Update through beta to RTM and deploy that PKS to install the OEM part of the upgrade. Worked fine.
So you are saying that omnia 7 will have Mango even without drivers update right? I have KC1 now i hope this is enough to get Mango
it's good to see someone from samfirmware here.
I would like to ask one question regarding samfirmware website.
Why is there no direct way to find windows phone roms?
When you go to toolbox section, and firmwares, there you can only choose bada, symbian, windows mobile, but no windows phone.
Where do you guys put all the latest wp7 roms?
Windows Mobile is the same section als Windows phone 7
15.09. and no mango ?
It drives crazy.... Where would our mango be??????
Kinda lost, still don't fully understand WP7. I bought the phone a few weeks ago with a Mango Beta installed on it. Someone brought it to my attention that when the legit Mango comes out that I won't be able to update to it. How can I get my phone to where I can update it when the official Mango release comes out? I have searched this but I'm not sure if reading on a different phone forum makes a difference. And people answer this question in different ways so it's a little confusing. Thanks guys!
First thing to do is check which version of the software you have on your phone, settings - about - more info.
If you have an OS version number greater than 7.0.7392 but less than 7720 you have a beta build of the OS and you wont be able to directly update the OS to Mango. This is because when the beta version of the OS was loaded it took a backup of your phone for you to return to when the official update was released. The backup is keyed to you device ID and means that a backup from someone else's phone wont work on yours.
However there are methods that will allow you to update to the RTM version of the OS at this link HERE or HERE but be warned that the update that is coming out in the next couple of weeks will have the extra drivers and tweaks that are specific to the DVP from Dell.
If you don't feel confident with that, you could try getting the person you bought it from to restore it back to the old version so that you can receive your update, or phoning dells support (Ouch!)
Looks like there may be an official way to install the final Mango without rolling back to NoDo first:

Bummer... wish I had known about this "Friends n Family" update last week before I restored Nodo. (Stupid rumors!!!) It's like a totally different phone. Here's hoping the update is coming soon.
That's awesome! That looked like such a pain that I was probably going to stay on the beta lol.
Awesome, I'll make a thread with precise steps so people may see it and finally get our DVP's fixed and updated!
