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/

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

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.

thank you for this download it is cool
thank you very much!you saved my phone
Any improvements in radio from 5.54.09.21 to 5.65.09.25a ??
Sry if asking a stupid question but is this the official tmous rom. because my comp did not save my backup and im ready to run from mango back to nodo so is it safe to flash this rom on any tmous hd7.
Can this be installed if you are running Mango Beta?

Only Zune is able to backup your things. This is a updated ROM, not and update from Zune, so it will wipe everything you have on your device.
Unfortunatly, Microsoft did not developed yet a way to backup your apps + data.

I will try this and let you know. Probably yes, but you will loose your Mango and the everything else on device.

Probably if you're using Mango, you're running Zune Beta Client.
I had Mango and the regular Zune Software on my machine and the updater didn't recognize my device. I entered in USB Mode and everything went fine.
Ofcourse, all the phone was wiped.
Things I realized 'til now:
1 - The performance seems better than the previous NoDo update;
2 - EDGE icon now shows 2G;
3 - There are more languages even for keyboard and the display (cool!!!);
4 - Wifi seems to be 'smarter' and 'faster'. Took less time to connect than before;
Can't tell about the battery life yet.
I'm yet thinking in upgrade to Mango Beta since probably we will have news about RTM update soon.

I just went ahead and rolled back to nodo and did the update over Zune. Here's what I've noticed.
1. As mentioned above edge is replaced with 2G icon.
2. Signal strength is much improved. Thanks HTC.
3. FM radio reception is much improved.
4. The pink tint issue with the camera is fixed.
5. Camera takes much better photos now. Not getting all the blurriness anymore.
6. WiFi connects much faster.
7. Interface is much smoother/faster. Who would have thought that was possible since the interface was already pretty fast.
8. Speaker volume improved.
I'll be testing the battery life today but I've read others saying that the battery life is also improved. Will be testing bluetooth today also. I had issues where mp3s would actually skip over bluetooth and streaming audio would come across slow like a record on the wrong speed. Nice job HTC.
Is there any way to just flash the radio and not the OS image? I want to update my hd7 but im running the mango rtm.
Thanks, downloading now. I'm going to save this one as a last resort just in case my pre-Mango backup doesn't work right.

Make sure your running Zune 4.8 go into your settings to check if it begins with 4.8 your good if not you have to download the the package its around 258mb's.
I was running the mango beta 2 so I just rolled back to NoDo, let Zune install the HTC update, then did the procedure for installing mango beta 2 again and got mango 7712 instead. NICE!!! I feel like I have a new phone.

RTM is 7720, what you are talking about is 7712, which was released for developers yesterday. 7712 is sort of a final RC, which Microsoft deemed to be "good enough" for developers to use to begin testing their software for release.
Anyone know if this contains the latest HTC update for the phone? Or is this a newer radio or something?
So Im fixing this post to make it more clear for everyone and to help out the few who need it. If you are a Unlocked or Tmobile DVP user had updated your phone to Mango and didnt back up you NoDo back up, so you werent able to get the .212 FW fix. This is for you.
So if you are running Mango 7713 or 7714 that was released it removed you from the main update stream and you werent able to get any updates rolled out. However, there has now been a new Mango verison released which is the RTM 7720 build, meaning it will put you back in the main update stream and you will be able to get all future updates. Go to the Windows Phone 7 forum here and follow the instrustions on how to update you phone to that build. When done you zune software will tell you there is another update for your phone which is the .212 FW update. This is really safe and hard to mess up, and you can always restore to where you are no if you mess up. Just after you do your updates this time make sure you back up you back ups! If you have any questions feel free to ask!
theusername said:
So If you update to 7720 (the leaked RTM copy of mango found in the windows fourms) It will allow you to update to .212 after even if you lost your other backups. Because 7720 is back in the main update stream you can get it!

the major question is post 7720 f/w updating that concerns me
What's concerning about it? Its the RTM build its safe and stable. Its the exact same version the next next line of windows phones will be released with.

whether users will get the oem update not on nodo not the os update...because it seems like microsoft and OEMs are bundling the mango firmware and mango os together. We have the OS not the firmware
I've held off on mango altogether until i get the at&t .212fw just because i didnt want to have to revert. But if this is the case (can get mango, then get update) i just may bite the bullet and get rolling. Although...dell said mid august for at&t, so close...yet so far.
They are not putting the two updates together. they are still two seprate ones. and because 7720 in back in the main update stream you dont have to worry about missin out on any updates.
All Developers Please Look at below link and can some Make Rom For DVP MANGO RTM ???

directly from NoDo with Zune 4.8.2345.0?
just provision your phone for mango updates - get to 7712 via zune and then use the bat files to get to 7720.
that is the same thing everyone is doing .. (and what the thread for the HD2 is for... i have 2 HD2s running mango)

Coming from build 7712 it looks like you might need 2 updates to get to the latest mango build.
http://www.ginktage.com/2011/09/how-to-update-your-windows-phone-7-to-7-5-mango-rtm/
Also, the official mango release might not be avaliable for everyone, but there are ways around this...http://wmpoweruser.com/simple-trick-to-force-the-mango-update/
I don't know if either of these things will help, as I started from a clean install and updated (eventually) to mango, with no problems.
It might be helpful if you put what else you've tried and, I don't want to moan, but shouldn't this thread be in Q&A?
