[Q] 'Samsung zone' gone from Marketplace - Omnia 7 General

Hi,
I just updated my Omnia 7 to Mango and now 'Samsung zone' has gone from the Marketplace completely. I can't even find samsung apps using the search in Markerplace.
Does anybody have/had the same issue? How can I get 'Samsung zone' back?
I can't wait to see that new Now app...

Yeah happened to me. I did a hard reset (wiped everything) and after id signed set everything back up and signed into windows live it came back about 10 mins later
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Have you changed something in the registry?
Then I haven't this problem, who I have updated to Mango, "Samsung Zone" was in the Marketplace. Try this:
Download and deploy WP7 Root Tools 0.7:
WP7 Root Tools (credits by Heathcliff74)
then launch the app and go to this registry path:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\
you can see the OEMName key, change the key (string) to SAMSUNG.
(OEMName:SAMSUNG)
Then reboot your device. Enjoy.
Greetings.

It is on SAMSUNG for me, but I'm in the Netherlands (so after Mango I started using an NL live id). Maybe that also has something to do with it.

Did you forced Mango update? If that is true, than you probably didn't receive Samsung firmware, and still using the old one. So, here are the instructions to install firmware - than you will gain access to Samsung zone.

Nope, I've got all the updates including firmware, radio and bootloader.

Same here, after (dev) mango switching to a portuguese id it was gone and didn't come back with retail mango. Got the firmware update too.

[Q] Win 7 activated - but can't download

Hi guys
I have searched the forum but cannot find anyone with a similar problem.
I have activated my Win 7 but still cannot download apps.
I get the following message when trying to install an app
"Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while"
Any suggestions?
what th f***
now ive got the same prob.
ive already installed some apps but now i get the same message
i tried to download from zune on the pc it says it cant be downloadet becaus of an temporary server problem
i daont think that somthing on my phon is wrong its a server prob by zune
Me too, I wonder if genuine WP7 owners are getting this problem...
have u already downloaded something before?
Yes, and it worked before.
and u dont changed anything?!?
Nothing at all, I only tried because I saw this thread.
yes me to
its definitely a server prob dont worry...be happy
Good to hear. Just activated my HD2 and I was afraid I did something wrong.
Well seeing as it says it can't get the information after it says it was verifying, it does look a bit suspicious :/
for me its working again
i hope for u too
How did you solve this problem?
I'm getting that error message as well.

yeah I am having the same problem, received my activation code today. I go on Zune and it lets me install ot, but I get it will install soon message and then it never does. Anyone, I am in the US and on t-mobile.
i dont do anythig it was an server problem and now everything is working
I have the same problem after activation,too...
The wp7 ist correctly running, only the marketplace doesn't run...
I did an hard reset and the same happens...
When i want to install the programs with zune, zune say, that it is installed, but i can't find the program on my phone...
I have vodafone in germany...
Just downloaded and istalled the IMDb app. Downloaded and installed fine, but won't run. Loads up for about 4-5 seconds and then phone goes back to WP7 menu screen. Any ideas???
If you have JUST activated and it is saying this
have you applied the registry key to identify the device as a HD 7 ?(unless you have a ROM with this as standard)
There is coming the following message:
Access to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg is restricted.
What could I do?
For you guys having problems with Marketplace, just be sure you made de HD7 tweak (in Settings-About your device must appear as HTC HD7, not Leo70). After you enter the 25 digit code in Marketplace, get the Live ID.xap file (available on the forum) and edit the CustClear.provxml file in it with your code. Then deploy the LiveID.xap to device.
I'm not having any Problems with Marketplace apps.

wp7 first update process recording. hd2 Please do not update

1. phones are connected to the computer tips, zune tips Update - This step updates zune

Please if u have any ideas respond me about my questions. Have u tried phone reset method?
Hi
Me too.
Got this damn error code: 80180089 when tried to updae my HD2. It says that it cannot backup my phone due to a registry change. There should be a way to update without having to backup first.
Same Problem with my HD2. I do not want a damn backup. If something goes wrong i would simply reinstall everything. That is annoying. I Hope there will be a solution comming up. :-/
hi
in the process of updating - registry error, error code: 80180089 on my HD2
but works fine. yet...
I think we need registry data of original wp7 to install update, because our cracked windows registry is demaged or not full. have someone tried to reset phone and install update on wp7?
do any of you actually read the threads? dont update tot he new version
i have read and why don't update a new version? it seems that problem in registry and some users who updated their phones it works fine, not blocking and chevron tool for deploying xap files still exists. i think its not harmful for our cracked hd2 to have an updates.
tried to update my hd2, too and got the same error. but no problems appeared... so i guess i just wait until someone finds a solution for this
Error on update WP7/HD2
Same error here, but works normaly after restart. It just can't back it up because of registry settings....

The update doesn't work for anyone with HD2s... it was known from beginning that automatic updates would not work with HD2... we have a ported wp7 on our devices.
Tried a reset and the update still did not work. Same registry error. Not surprised just want to try and share the info.
First I got the error code 801812C1 but after two retries that went through. The registry error code 80180089 can’t be bypassed.
Manual injection of CAB files in the future I guess. Yes I know custom ROM on a unsupported phone.
Don't kill the messenger. I'm just sharing info here.
Used XP SP3 with newest zune software.
Looks like some other guys with samsung omnia7 have this issue with the update and microsoft is working on it. I guess that will be solved in a few days

Do you think we will be able to update our HD2s then?
I don't think so, but I like surprises
Probably will not work on the HD2 since its most likely looking for anything funny in the registry. Pick your choice, not the right hardware, hacked OS, chevron, side load apps, custom settings. Unless if people that have virgin phones and still get the same errors then anything is possible. They might have to allow future updates to have more variations or be more lenient on what its looking for before the patch gets installed. That’s my two cents anyway.
Phones: G1, ATT ARIA, HD2
In a microsoft thread, I read that the problem with samsung omnia 7 is about backing up the phone. The same as HD2. So I think there might be some hopes for us
maybe the problem come from detected usb hardware driver that seem to be different from that in hd7.. i say this because when the hd2 display shown the icon of pc & hd2 , after the first reboot, a symbol no usb connection appear.
Its a pointless update, why bother...
Tried... but failed

No, I'm sure that was just telling us not to remove the USB connection ha ha. I just tried the update, same error code. Remaining hopeful that this is same problem as Omnia or whichever phone was mentioned before, but I have doubts and wont be too shocked if it has nothing to do with it and we cant update the OS this way. If this doesn't work someone will come up with something. Might just have to reflash with each major update. It wuld be annoying but its better than nothing ha ha.
Customized ROM from HD2 can't Update the OS! HD2 owners should wait until devs cook the update in their Roms! This update is pointless but actually Microsoft made this update to prepare your phone for the next update! (??LOL??) I know that you guys made the tweak in order to disguise the HD2 to HD7 but still... So be more patient or buy an official WP7 as i did!

NoDo. Want to get it right now? [Not tested with HD2 yet]

So NoDo was finally released this morning.
Well, for the EU people anyway (don’t get me started).
Windows Phone 7, by default, stores your operator identifier in a sneaky registry key, which is checked by the Windows Update Client running on the phone. This identifier is then used to check if the updates have been approved for your operator. If they are slow, like Telstra here is in Australia, you’re going to be waiting a long time.
So, let’s tell you how you can “un-brand” (this won’t remove the boot splash screen) your phone so it appears to be a generic handset to the Update Servers.
Your device needs to be dev-unlocked for this to work. Sorry folks.
1. Download this zip file and deploy the 3 xap files onto your device.
2. Run the ChevronWP7.Ringtones.xap and wait till it displays “Ringtones added… and CustClear.provxml underneath”
3. Run the TouchXplorer app, navigate to My DocumentsMy Ringtones click on CustClear.provxml and select Copy from the Application Bar.
4. Navigate back inside TouchXplorer to the Windows folder.
5. Select paste from the Application Bar, this should scroll right to the bottom and put a copy of CustClear.provxml in the Windows folder.
6. Now run the Connection Setup application and click on the Ok button (it’s the one with the tick).
And now you’re done and free to re-connect to Zune and check for updates.
Again, this is ONLY for HTC devices.

Hi guys! I didn't test this method for HD2 yet cause I still on Android. Try it out.
Has this been cooked for the HD2 already? I'll give it a try as long as I know it won't brick my HD2
IT ONLY SHOWS PHONE UPDATE FEB 2011
any idea why i am not able to see nodo update
There is another thread about this already in Q&A and General. It seems as though this method is for native WP7 devices to work around zonal or carrier based restrictions.
It has been tried on an HD2 in the other thread and the same registry issues that affected the February update prevail. This does not appear to be a solution for HD2 owners.
just tried out and still having the error happening same error

i have big problem my phone is locked ... and i cant unlock it since they disconnected the unlock tool what should i do guys
okay okay i fixed the unlock thing and everything and did this but this didn't work out on hd2 .. ill try more and let ya know guys
Yea, just playing around, problem is in registry.
hello,
do you know if it works on HD2 ? if I try, will I keep everything (sms, apps, ...) ?
thanks !
This does not work, it has been said hundreds times
Has everybody been taking crack lately?
How do you expect to be able to do a official update to NoDo when our roms are modded to work on the HD2, its not a native rom so even if you could get it to update through official channel it would very likely break the installation anyway.
Use some common sense guys have some patience and wait for the update to be cooked into HD2 rom.

The best working solution for wp7 7740

FIRST I want to thank everyone who has worked on ALL of the ROMS, CABS, TOOLS, and everything else on this Forum! Amazing work and skill.
Ok so after reading postings of here and other places over two days I had tried 10 different configurations and different ROMS. I have found what works great for me I am runing wp7 7740 with no problems and great battery and data service.
I followed the instructions for installing [ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7740](HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2_native)
Flash the rom without SDcard
Or if you have already flashed remove it and do a factory reset
- After system loaded, update in ZUNE to 7392 without SD card
- After booting succesfully 7392 go in settings/about and reset the phone
- When phone reboot insert your SDcard
- You will load system and the SDcard should works well now
- Install the DeviceProvisioning cab using WP7-Update-Cab-Sender instructions
- Continue to update to 7720 IN ZUNE but this time with SDcard
- Install the 7720-7740-6mn.cab using WP7-Update-Cab-Sender instructions
My phone has never worked better. I mean WOW I am so impressed. I had tried 10 different configurations to get a working SD card and an updateable system with zune. The reason I used the cab installer for 7740 was because Zune just kept saying my phone was up to date even after reinstalling the DeviceProvisioning cab. I ran into an error in zune 800B010A while trying the ISV Beta Cleanup update. But what worked for me was simply activating the live services on the phone. I got a activation code from MS a while back and have been able to use that. One done BAM it went right to the next step instead of poping up that error.
I did try using the Kingston 16gb micro sdhc glass 4 and It just froze everytime and became locked even when i tried the DEV_STORAGELOCK cab the card would freeze up after i installed it. All of my other cards would work fine and could be unlocked. What is interesting is The Kingston is brand new and the others are over a year old have been used several times and are a class 2.
I was able to use zune for apps, games and music. I have used my wireless data service with out having to put in any setting it just turned on and worked.
As for the Battery, I left my phone unplugged all night with all the services turned and and Guess what there was still power when I woke up. Usually with every other rom and solution it is dead. and a Pain to get back up and running.
There was only one thing that is not working and that is the compass and I actually never use it so not a problem. I was able to zoom in with touch very nicely! WIFI is fast and 3g is fast. I use t-mobile.
I could always leave detailed step by step instructions of what I did to get everything working if anyone wants me to.
Thanks to all,
Philip
I share almost the same experiences, here is my way: updated with ZUNE to 7392 (but with sd card) and then install the DeviceProvisioning cab. Update with ZUNE to 7403. Hard reset. Then using WP7-Update-Cab-Sender update to 7720, hard reset again and same way to 7740
I have to agree. Xbmod/Yuki BTF ROM is awesome. I can't begin to express my admiration for the woirk these guys have done.
Have you guys installed the SP1 update cab? Solves HTC driver issues and adds some new tweaks. This rom just gets more awesome by the day!

WP 7.8 (8864) is out

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."

Just updated unlocked T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro using Cab Sender method. Worked like a charm!

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!!

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!

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.

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!

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:

Third one:

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!

Will this work for DVP TMO-US. I am currently at 7.10.7720.68? Thanks

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.

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.
