Has anyone tried this on an HD2 Windows Phone 7? Spoof Build 7008?
How to remove the operator and get your Windows Phone Updates (HTC ONLY)
without comments
Howdy!
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.
Thanks to Rafael for his help.

This is only working with native WP7 devices, I assume.
Native Devices
Maybe, One way to find out? What harm can the update do? We have HSPL and Magldr, both should protect the SPL & Bootloader............
Tried it and it still doesn't detect the nodo update, I'm in the UK by the way so I should have access to it.
I'm in the U.S all the roms that have 7.08 other than boypcc it zune does't say a update is needed. On the boypcc rom it offers the update put the phone is locked so you can't try this out.
Tried it with boypcc's rom and now detects the update but gets stuck at creating a backup in the update process. Guess we'll just have to wait until a proper release with the update is made.
it aint going to make any difference, when your device goes in to flash mode windows installs a driver for a "LEO" device
i just reinstalled windows and at no point was anything on the phone or on the computer pointing to it being a Leo, that i know of, so MS can detect something that isnt right on a reboot and wacks it, if i had a native device to hand it would be intresting to find out what driver its installing, rip it out, update the leo driver installed for our HD2 to the other (correct native) driver. and see what happens.....or of course it may well detect some reg entry as stated, but i doubt thats the real cause as drivers are usually installed by hardware IDs but who knows hey!
Thanks
Thank you all for your input.
Greatly Appreciated
Hi All.
I have HTC 7 Trophy 7392 (unlocked), when i connect phone to the pc and start zune i get an error - "Connection error"
I cant deploy apps and games and cant connect to windows phone device manager.
Somebody help me!
I'm having troubles with the Marketplace on my WP7.
I installed the HD2 Updatable XBmod Yuki v2.1 rom on my HTC HD2 and installed some new updates with Zune. I currently have OS version 7.0.7392.0.
At first my phone asked for an activation key when I tried to install a new application. I called Microsoft and filled in the activation key they gave me.
Now when I try to install a new application following messages pops up:
"You need to update your phone using the Zune software on your computer. Some Zune and Marketplace experiences may be limited until you have updated."
When I connect to Zune and check for updates it says that my device is up to date.
I've read tons of threads and forums about installing application without the marketplace (e.g. Developer Unlock, ...) but that's not what I want. I just want to be able to downloads apps from the Marketplace.
Is there anyone who has experienced the same problem and who was able to fix it ?
thnx

Hi,
My phone is an Omnia 7 branded SFR.
I have also another Omnia 7 that I have updated with success to 7.8 using Seven-Eighter.
For a few month, I have an update that I can't install on my SFR Omnia 7 which is named "Samsung update" on Zune.
Every time, I get 80180048 error (I tried from different computers, tried to free some space on the phone, nothing helps).
So I decided to try with Seven-Eighter but I got the same error.
Finally, I read this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37384687&postcount=1478), and some page in the same thread but you're always talking about 7.10.8779.8. My version is 7.10.8779.3. I was not able to find any update from 7.10.8779.3 to 7.10.8779.8, am I missing something ?
If I try to deploy the cab for 7.10.8779.8 I get error 80180011 (package not applicable) for the OS, and 80180015 for the language files.
Any idea ?
Thank you in advance
Actually, I realized that my phone is refered as 7.10.8779.8 in Settings/About, but referred as 07.010.08779.03 when using UpdateWP.exe.
However, I still have my update problem.
I tried to reinstall all packages for 7.10.8779.8, some languages were installed, but when I try to deploy 7.10.8783.12 I still get my 80180048 error
I have Nokia Lumia 800 and having the same problem described above.
A help in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
