hey guys
i spent couple of days to find a way to go back to nodo to get the firmware update but it wasn't successful.
my firmware version is 2250.1500.7004.105 and i need to update it badly.
no roms, no backup. i don't see any light but i saw a news today that MS is going to release mango RTM soon.
When RTM is released, u think i can update to RTM and get firmware update?
There are so many devs for other phones but not DVPs. why why why :'(
I hate to break it to you. But ALL is LOST.
DVP has no developers behind it- basically that means, no original/custom ROM can be flashed since the capability has not yet been developed.
It's now, what it is until someone finds a way to flash an older rom onto the device.
heck, a registry editor hasn't even been built for the DvP yet!
sorry, but you're out of luck for now.
Ya, I'm stuck in the same situation, very unfortunate on account that I made three backups but the restore wont work... simply sucks.
any chance to recover when mango RTM is released ?
that is the only hope i have atm. :'(
if you have Windows Phone Update in user profile folder (%USERPROFILE\AppData\Local\Microsoft), then try and see if you have previous version files available. (right click on the folder).

Dude, thank you! just finished restoring back to NoDo. I cant believe how happy I am to see the slow transitions and lack of a task manager. Onward to the firmware update..
good for you!
I found a folder but it has only 1 file, properties.xml. that's it. i guess i am out of luck :'(

before i had tried to restore using backups, the folder would also just contain the properties.xml file, have you tried to right click the 'windows phone update' folder itself and click 'restore previous versions'? i am personally surprised that zune had found my old July 2nd backup (when I installed premango) after i used this method. if all this doesnt work, you can always try to register as a developer at Apphub and get help from there, if you are a student it would be free and all..

unfortunately OS of this PC is XP and i don't see any restore menu when i right click it. seems XP is not supporting that tool. should have this done on my windows 7 PC.... grrrrr
guess my only hope is AppHub now :'(
I am in same boat apparently.... lol... damn, what we gon' do! I am gonna be confident that a solution will work itself out. I am a registered developer though, how should I go about getting help?

did your backup disappear or does it not work? mine didnt work and it somehow got itself to work after using the method tokuro said in the first page.. as a developer you have to send in a ticket with the info in this thread http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/85786.aspx
i sent one in a few days ago but they never replied back.. from reading through many forums i have a feeling there are a lot more people out there with lost backups..
please keep us updated. i am pretty sure there are so many ppl waiting for this.
Has anyone heard back from Microsoft regarding this issues. I emailed them last week and and they haven't gotten back to me yet. Really curious to see what they do.

Go there and get the latest version of Kies. It says it was released yesterday. Im sure you are going to have to use the newer version for almost all froyo (different file system) to flash. Just my two centshttp://www.samsung.com/ae/consumer/mobile-phones/mobile-phones/infotainment/GT-I9000HKDXSG/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support

Just reinstalled windows today, and every version I have tried thus far has failed.

Sorry man, I'm looking for the original install files for 1.5.1 myself. I installed it on one computer then had to dl it again to install another. By then it was 1.5.3. If I can find the 1.5.1 install file, I'll upload - I think I might have it on my work computer, so it will have to wait until Monday.

And according samsung.de this is dated 5.1.2011. So it is out for a while
Thats odd os the one downloaded today although it has a lower build number is dated 29 January 2011, 23:11:02. The newest part is dated Feb14th.
When I download the update for kies it gets to the dowloading files part and is on 100% but carries on downloading past the 53642kb on something like over 233343 whats wrong with it? Also it keeps asking for internet connection and i click retry every so often? Is there anyway I can download the new version and uninstall the old one rather than updating?
i noticed that this new update is more responsive than the last at least they are improving their apllication

That's happened to me a few times since Kies was first released. The short/kindest answer is that Samsung developers aren't the best...

Hello,
today i received a mail from Microfosft (I am registred as developer).
The sent me files to update to Mango. But before that they want to BackUp my phone, where my update was canceled.
It looks like the same Zune BackUp, when you do an update.
Is there any way to do this update with an HD2?

nope and you wouldnt want to either
there is a lot of HD2 specific files in this, if you dump an official update on it there is a good change you will bugger up the device again
There are several Threads concerning the Mango-update now..why open another?
well i thougth the official beta update would be more usefull. but i thought wrong you (of some1else) could delete this thread

I bought the Aser Iconia A500 today, and its still running an old build of 1.104.XX..
I was wonder if I could download the Updates somewhere, and then install them on the Tablet.
The OTA Download is taking forever and has failed at 92% the first attempt (on second now, and only at 19% after 32 min).
I don't have "root" and would like to update manually without root if possible.
Thank you in advance for any help given..

You know I would hope not. I would guess that you could go to the 1.4.1 or 1.4.7 straight from where you are. And then maybe the OTA to 3.1 will work. But I wouldn't take my word for it.
Hopefully someone that knows will stumble on this and help you with that part.
Oh, Okay. Well thank you for pointing me to the forum topic.
I just dont want to download the wrong thing and screw this tablet up. I just got the thing like an 3 hours ago.

Hehe you really can't with any of the files on that thread lol, the worse you could do is use the wrong update and confuse the gps, making it think you are in europe or something lol. In other words, no worries once you get to 1.141.07, OTA should kick in: lets just say acer didn't get of to that hot of a start with the whole updating business lol.
Any insiders know anything?

No comment from at&t and @lionelatdell doesn't want to give out a date.
So nothing, unfortunately.
I got mango on my att dell venue pro.. it is an unlocked one though.
Yeah krad we are talking SIM locked devices.
I'm not sure if this counts as Mango on AT&T, but for what it's worth...
http://www.shekhargovindarajan.com/...-non-developer-unlocked-dell-venue-pro-india/
If you go to that link and dissect it a bit, you can update your AT&T Venue Pro to Mango. My phone says it's on 7.5, and the OS version is 7.10.7720.68. I don't know if that is the real Mango or if it's just a Beta. Mine has been working great so far. It has all of the Mango features and stuff. I have an AT&T locked device. Hope this is relevant.
Also. I know that the link says it is to get on to the Mango Beta, but what I have now on my phone does not seem like a beta.
It is mango, but you are missing some of the mango specific firmware. Still should hold ya over till the real thing arrives.
Can't you do the unplug trick? It took me a while but I got it to work and my phone isn't even an official Venue Pro.

What he said
After dell screwed up the compass app...not that i use the compass - it just shows how dumb they are, i updated my att dvp to mango 7720 last night using the beta rtm method here at xda. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501 )
so now i have the .212 firmware and mango. Good enough for me.

I did the same. Just been unsure if I am still going to be able to get the .219 firmware update. Do you happen to know?
I was in the process of restoring when mango was being released just to make sure I got the best install possible but I accidently deleted my restore in the process. I have 7720 on my DVP though so I havent really cared and I havent had any issues with it so I doubt the firmware is really going to matter.
I'm not sure if the link is the same method I used it seems to have the steps I did.

people that had the rtm did not have to revert when official came out, so we should be fine. We get .212 & mango and dell gets time to get **** right. When the update is pushed we should have no probs.
Using the 7720 upgrade path
There's quite a few modifications and derivatives of the instructions in that thread. Did you follow the set on the top of the thread or did you need to make any of the adjustments to upgrade your Dell Venue Pro?
Thx

just needed steps 1-15, at that point i was on 7720. the downloads take forever but other than that it was painless
I can't get the update to work. Is it b/c I have a newer version of zune? I can't get past the part where you back up your phone. all i get is a flashing cursor.

Did you download the old version of zine from that thread? Uninstall your current zune, then install that one and begin.
When I did mine i did have a problem when trying to backup. When i clicked the updatewp.exe the box would just give me an error: updatewp.exe has stopped working.
to fix: “UpdateWP has stopped working”
This was despite following the instructions to the letter. Turns out they are both due to the UpdateWP setup not overwriting existing files if they are already there. If you get this problem then just go to your “Program files” > “Zune” folder and delete both the UpdateWP.exe and wm7update.dll files (mine were both dated April) and rerun the UpdateWP setup file.
Once i did that it was smooth sailing.
Great. I've unistalled my zune software and can't install this one. I kepp getting error that the it can't install becuase langauge packs aren't installing or something.
edit: finally got zune to reinstall. even though it was from the download it installed version 4.8.2345 instead. So when is the Titan coming to AT&T again?
I had no issues with the update...
I think the problem is with my registry and my Zune. The new version doesn't completely uninstall which causes problems with the older version installing. I've had zune since G1 brick and my settings have even traveled from XP to 7. My library huge and not even located on one drive. I don't want to use something like revo to completely uninstall and lose my settings and my syncs, which are for multiple devices.
