Latest MANGO: Install or not? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

All this chatter about Mango being release today. My HD2 has Yuki’s back to the future rom with mango. Do I still need to update my hd2 when the mango rollout notifies my zune?
What is the difference between the build being release today vs the leaked RTM 7720 and yuki’s back to the future rom?
Will I gain anything new that I don’t already have?

today version is final official version of Mango, all other before this is test, beta or releases for manufactures...

He knows that his current version is the RTM, which is by the way something totally different from a test or beta version!
The question asked is what the DIFFERENCE between the official and RTM version is.
As far as i understand the difference is in the drivers that are present in the version released today by MS. But then again it is just what i have read somewhere.

When I connected my phone to Zune it said the update would "clean up any beta/ivs provisioning to ensure your phone can recieve future updates"..
Quite a few people in the "back to the future" thread seem to have installed the update without problems.
I assume that if you update from the Yuk/HD2Oi "beta" to "official" Mango you wont gain anything functional, it will just change some versions/comments from "beta" to "official" so it shows as an offical release rather than a beta release.

For info, I've just installed this update (took less than a minute) and all is working fine still.

Waiting for more feedback and then only I'll switch.
If theres no real difference then I won't switch at all. Its too much of a mess to setup up my tiles and get my apps up and running again.

I agree. I'll wait on it.

just completed the update process from "back to future" rom to the official mango. i see no difference between the two other than perhaps removing elements of beta according to the update. there was no change in my tile presentation and i had no app installed as i was experience huge battery drain for no reason.

I have the HD2 and also received the update message requesting for update would would "clean up any beta/ivs version.
So for any of you who installed can you give us up dates with your hd2,
Q1, if previous side loaded apps are still on the phone & usable?
Q2, Is it still unlocked? &
Q3, can we use Tom Xap installer?

yes it's still unlocked.
Yes, you can sideload apps using your tomxap installer, I just installed fruit ninja.
As to previous sideloaded apps I can't answer cos i did the upgrade without any installed up.

I just upgrade my phone to mango.
I checked and it did not affect my apps or tiles.
Thanks

Yeah, I installed it too. Just like installing it as a native WP. It won't mess up any apps, pix, or saved documents. Took less than 5 minutes & actually made my very smooth phone, smoother!

how exactly smoother ??

From what I've read so far it seems safe to install this update. We dont have any "official" statement from Yuki or DF or anyone actually involved in the ROM here do we?
And also, will I need to reconfigure the phone after applying this update? If so, then this update is not gonna happen for me.

Hmm, it wont install. Errorcode 800B010A. Checking the ROM-thread for a solution.

Ok, it installed after a few tries. Rebooted computer and phone as well, but dont think that has anything to do with it.

Dual boot works fine
manmute98,
Dual boot works fine. It looks as though nothing happens to that part of the partition,which is of course a good news.

Mango Beta 2 Update available from Microsoft

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?

Hi,
I have a "Walshed" Focus to get to 7390. Since then, I have been unsuccessful in "UnWalshing". When trying to update to 7392, I get stuck in reboot at step 6.
So I decided to try the Mango upgrade from 7390 - to which I've read that some have been successful going from 7390 (not necessarily from a Walshed device) to Mango.
Well, my phone gets stuck at reboot and when I run the ISV_Provisioning_live.exe following the Mango upgrade steps, I get an timeout error.
So at this point, I'm stuck at 7390 and thinking that I need to reflash my phone to 7004 and build up from there. However, I can't seem to find instructions for flashing a Samsung device. In the WP7 development forum, I only see instructions for flashing HTC devices.
Can someone point me to:
1. Instructions for flashing Samsung, Focus if it's device specifc.
2. Where can I get a Samsung 7004 ROM?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not sure if you were replying to my post above but I have version 1.4 and "Walshed" (forced the NoDo update back in April). At any rate, my understanding is that an official AT&T Mango for v1.4 will not be available in October. I suppose I can wait for it but given that I had "Walshed" my phone and my attempt to unWalsh is not successfully, I fear that an office update will not work.
As an anecodatel point, I did receive an update to 7392. However, the many attempts I have tried, I got stuck at step 6 when the phone is supposed to reboot but never does. Others have had the same problem with v1.4 and with a Walshed phone. So, I don't have high hopes that an officie Mango would even work. But I hope I am wrong...
Just install Zune and disconnect your internet about a second after it checks for an update. Got mine to mango.

I was developer unlocked on Nodo and after the Mango update I got locked again (that is easy u just re-unlock), but app limit has been lowered again so I cannot sideload any app (and Max apps that would remove the app limit) Any solution??
EDIT: I was forced to go back to NoDo back via Zune to Interop Unlock (I couldn't in Mngo, as I couldn't install any app). Then reupdated to Mango, this time the firmware amd diagnosis app were not updated, actually they got downgraded to the versions before my 1st update attempt (strangely though as when I reverted back to NoDo the updated fw/radio/bl remained). I tried to force via Zune the OEM update, but did not come up, so I followed this http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011...paign=Feed:+Mobiletechworld+(MobileTechWorld) to update the firmware manually. Diagnosis was updated as well to 0628.

Yes but what do you do if you have >10 installed apps? Cause MaxApp limit gets back with the update to Mango. You either uninstall till u get to less than 10 apps, or hardreset or revert back to NoDo and pass unlock.xml to the device and then reupdate to Mango.

In my case everything went ok. It takes a lot of time, almost 30 minutes. You should also close Zune before making the choice to send the cab.

Any AT&T Mango news?

Any insiders know anything?
Sent from my Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
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.

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.

Yes, you can. I've done just that with my Focus v1.3
yeah, my focus 1.3 has 8773 running just fine, however, i cannot get gps to work right. then again, i have not been able to get it to work right on update 7720 up.
just make sure you do the updates via cab sender incrementally and install the correct language update packages with the update. ei flash 7720-7740 update w/ 7720-7740 language, then flash 7740-8107 update w/ 7740-8107 language packs.
I updated my samsung focus using this method http://digg.com/newsbar/Technology/tango_update_for_samsung_focus_omnia_w
their are 2 updates so when its finish you have to do it again and also you have to use windowsbreakproject again to be able to side load again and access anything you already side loaded.everything worked for me.im on att also. only thing that's frustrating is disconnecting and reconnecting ethernet wire because you dont always catch it right away it takes a few tries.

I tried this 30-40 times on my AT&T Samsung Focus, 1.3. Never finds an update.
make sure you put your phone in airplane mode.it should work i did it last night after a about 10 tries or maybe more wasn't counting.give it another try.
It might work for Focus flash / Omnia but not for Focus. This kind of update only works when there is an update for your device but not available in your region
Yes, I am not able to force update via zune. So thought about cabsender method but don't want to take the risk as mango is working properly on my focus. And tango doesn't have much to offer other than mms, which I never use.
Thanks to everybody for answering.

If you're unlocked:
First, run *#1234# in Diagnosis. If the latest 3 letters of the PDA are less than KK2 (ie KI4, KH2, KK1, etc) then you can do what I did: WindowBreak and update with Zune (less chances of brick) and unlock with *#9908#.

I see. In that case, you can use cabsender method to update.
However, If I were you, I would unlock, for the benefit of homebrew (battery app, custom widgets, etc etc etc). And, if your PDA is less than KK2, you can unlock with WindowBreak, install WP7 Root Tools, alter the registry key
HKLM \ System \ Platform \ DeviceTargetingInfo \ MobileOperator
from "ATT-US" to "ROG-CA", connect in Zune, and update. Less chances of brick and it's the "official way" to update through Zune, plus you also get to decide whether you still want to have homebrew after the update.
Your call.

Ok tried WindowsBreak. Don't know if it worked. Tried emailing WP7 Root Tools to myself but don't see where it installed.

You need to read the guides carefully.
Re-read the guide for WindowBreak, it tells you how to check in Diagnosis.
