[Q] XAP ??? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

So, I am using "[ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7740]" - and am really having fun using WP7. I still miss some features of 6.5, but 7 is cool.
I came across programs with XAP files that I thought would be useful. It seems there are several different types of programs that are used to install these XAP files and I tried installing one and hosed my phone.
No biggie, I started over, but which methods of making my device XAP capable should I use? I mention "Back to the Future" because I also wonder if the XAP file support is ROM dependent.
Sorry, to ask something that I actually know is already in the forum. I see Chevron, and TOM XAP and I guess official Windows development tools. I really just can't seem to discern the difference or (dare I say) best method. Or maybe I just have yet to find something you can point me to that spells it out for noobs like me?
Thanks in advance for any help! Happy New Year!

chevron not needed for HD2 ROM's.... all ROM's is unlocked... only after install, you must do hard reset to avoid bugs with unlock...
BTTF not bad ROM but bad thing is locking SD card....
you can try others ROM's and find which one is best for you....

is the question what the best xap installer for windows

Yes. Thanks, I am content with the BTTF ROM - it is the only one I have tried. What xap installer should I use is the question.

any XAP installer....which you want... no matter which you ROM have you can use any XAP installer
Tom XAP installer is good but cant do Update to already installed XAP
for this XAPDeployX is best...
also you can use Windows Phone Power Tools or Windows Phone Device Manager

Windows Phone SDK 7.1
if you want extra fetures!
Windows Phone Power Tools

Confused, T-Mobile UK - HTC HD2 - advice choosing a ROM Required please

Hi Guys,
Got a new htc hd2 from tmobile in the uk, got last years september rom on it and found that it had an old rom on it, needs upgrading and wanting to put a updated rom, but wanted a rom that had all the bells and whistles,
currently it keeps freezin when sending txts an randomly crashes, had a couple of them, an thought it was phone til i realised all software related an needs seriously updating, but thought would go the whole hog then not do it for a while lol
Never done this before and a bit of a noob, have been reading through the stickys, but still abit unsure
Wasnt sure wether i would be able to put windows 7 or android on it, so if need be will stick to just winmo 6.5 but wanted a rom that gave me some decent apps with it, like those power/cooked roms, but didnt know what to go for, what would be best
never installed apps before, apart from through windows marketplace,
So hints tips an a great step by step noobie guide would be great,
Cheers for reading

Rom!! ???
I'm not being rude, but you really need to search forum. There are lots of threads about just what you are needing. WM7 is not available,android,they are working on, no idea when. Give search a try. lots of info,,,,
I did search the forums, i have been searching, hence how i obtained the info,
i know there are a lot of different cooked roms, but nothing that can help me differentiate which to choose from,
tbh ALL I want on the rom is probably like an e-reader and a torch, anything else is a bonus lol,
but i cant seem to locate something that says this is the one that wont cause me any issues, i am tempted just to grab the stock rom off htc, as that should resolve most of the issues with the phone

thats probably your best bet until you are more comfortable with flashing.
Grab the 1.72 and go with customising that.

It will connect to usb while the phone is running, but as soon as it drops to bootloader the usb connection will not get passed back to xp.
you will not get hspl to work in a virtual environment or bootcamp. (or so i hear, i dont have a mac, i just read a lot )
You 'may' get flashing to work from bootcamp, but deff not hspl.
You will need to use a windows machine to instal hspl.

I resisted using a non "stock" ROM for a while, but I eventually got fed up with even the latest version that was released for O2 (1.72).
Yesterday I installed the Atermis v14 ROM, which I have to say stands head and shoulders above the standard release ROMs.
I chose it for two reasons, after looking on the "HTC_Leo/ROMs" page on the wiki attached to the site. First was that it was described as "Combines the latest WM 6.5.5 version with latest Manila 2.5.2012 (Leo 2.11) for HD2.This ROM Family is stable , fast and very close to stock ROM "Philosophy"." Second because it was first on the list
I found it really easy to install, using SSPL; you just put the downloaded ROM image and SSPL exe into a folder, connect your phone via USB with ActiveSync of Device Centre, and run the exe on your PC. There are pretty simple step by step instructions on both the SSPL and Atermis pages.
After installing Atermis I also installed S2U2 via a cab file, which gives me a different un/lock screen; again there's easy instructions, though you do have to play around with the S2U2 config app to get the behaviour as you might want (e.g. background image, time format, caller display). All straight forward though as you install the cab, then it's available via the start menu/app list. I like it because it's more responsive on wake up and allows direct access to messages, etc on unlock.
Unfortunately it seems all the ROM flashing apps are windows based (it's a windows phone after all...), so I doubt you'd have fun trying to flash a ROM with a mac. Probably simpler all round to borrow a friends PC for 10 mins!
If you are going to flash a new rom though, it's definitely worth backing up your contacts and messages, etc. Microsoft myPhone works for me, and comes pre-installed.

[Q] Cannot deploy apps with TOM XAP nor Windows SDK deployment

I have an HD2 running the WP7 Rom, with the XAP installer running under admin.
Whenever i try to install an app, I get the error connection message...
I have zune running, and i've unlocked the phone and i downloaded many apps via marketplace. and also i cannot use windows SDK deployment it says "invalid xap"
i have seen this in many posts but bno threads and no answer at all
Please help!
if u have installed the registry trick that your phone is shown as usb device u cant install via sdk.
Well I just installed WP7 on my T-Mobile Leo and also downloaded some apps. I'm discovering the forum maybe for 7-8 hours and got many solution for this. After I installed necessary programs like Connection Setup, TouchXplorer I didn't get any problem but after sync with Zune I couldn't install other apps I downloaded then as usual I searched if someone had the same problem and figured out Zune relock your device after every sync. That might be another problem but after I tried to unlock it again via Chevron, it worked and now I installed all apps with current sync.
You can try to unlock it again via Chevron and use TOM XAP as before if you ever unlock your phone '.)
i had same trouble few times... here is what i did... i uninstalled all the sideloaded app... and used the unlocker to unlock the phone... and used the xap provided here to prevent zune from unlocking it again... then installed sideload app limit removal... and installed other xap's normally ... and it hasn't locked or gave me any problem since then....

If i am not wrong tap and hold on applications icon until a menu opens , then select "UNinstall"
I had this trouble.
Do you have Net Framework 4 installed?? If not then this is probably your problem.
Also try a custom ROM. These claim to be unlocked and this will make installing xap a breeze. I currently have HD2 1.00.00.WP7 and it works fine. Dont have to go into flight mode when connecting by USB to sideload apps or games and I havent had any apps come up as revoked by Microsoft yet in 3 days.
Hope this helps.
I had this problem too and I solved it by reinstalling just .NET Framework 4.
Now it works as before.

Problem with Unlocking WP7

I have problem with my HD2 with WP7.
I unlock it yesterday install few apps and today when I tried to install another
the phone is locked again. But now I can't unlock it !
I am normally connecting the phone through Windows phone developers tools
C:\Program files\Microsoft sdk\windows phone\v7.0\tools\wpconnect\wpconnect
If I click on wpconnect it shows me "LEO70 connection established"
After that I trying to run ChevronWP7.exe and show is this bloody error message:
"Sorry, Im having trouble communicating with the phone
-Please make sure it's conencted using USB
-please start the Zune application
I also did Zune USB registry hack and I hope that this change doesnt have impact on it, right ?
I installed aslo the certificate and also Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW,
delete all lines that contain developers.microsoft.com in Windows \ System32 \ drivers \ etc \ hosts (open with notepad),
no skype still no success !!
Please help.
Why don´t you try to flash one of the custom ROMs which come with all the Chevron jailbreak solution cooked it?
This way, I got rid of nasty re-locking issues...

OK, and wich unlocked ROM do you suggest me ?
I only ran the original "Leo70" (which does not include the jailbreak), then the "moonlight" ROM, and finally the latest version here (I do like the tweaks and mods).
Since flashing is fast and easy, you´ll definitely make your own trials, trust me! And maybe there soon will be a ROM with your language, yesterday I´ve seen Polish for the first time!
und das soll gut sein?

Please note that English is the forum language here.
And yes, the ROM is good, but that´s my personal opinion.
Maybe you find another one which you like better.

Ok, thanks for the TIP.
I don't realy care about language
yeah but the bad part is you will loose any of data on your sd because you need to format again to be compatible with windows phone 7..... last time I've installed the rom it was hard to make my sd to work so now I don't want to try anymore

I had the same problem, but then I used the wp7 update cab sender and dev_unlock.cab which worked

custom ROM is already unlocked (BTTF and HD2O) but people not read instructions... chevron is useless for this ROM's
Alright i've checkron chevrons website and the tokens ($9) aren't for sale right now, but thanks everyone.
how to
since it took some time for me to find out how to side load apps in WP7.5, I'll explain it to other noobs:
You need to install Zune, the .NET 4.0 Framework and Windows Phone SDK 7.1. Then install Phone7Market (you can find it here). It comes with the Phone7Market itself, from which you can download your .xap files and with the Phone7Deployer. Connect your HD2 via Zune, create a desktop shortcut for the Phone7Deployer, get your xap file you want to deploy (i.e. from the Phone7Market) and drag&drop it on your desktop shortcut. It won't harm to check the two boxes (remove drm and the other one). A few seconds later, you should find your app/game on your device.
btw, this is FREE, so you don't need to pay 9 bucks for chevron.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I can't help you with that since I don't have this error. The only two things that come to my mind: You need Windows Vista or 7 for the SDK and you should try a hard reset on your device (backup your data before of course).

Leo
you'll have to download first the wanted update cab from xbosmod/sylvester's page and send it to your phone with the help of update cab sender from the same guys
Hey, thanx for the quick reply florin_stann!
I tried googleling xbosmod/sylvester but i found nothing, can you be more specific on were i should go to download the rom?
which ROM you have? author (which cooker not version)
only Yuki ROM can update with CAB files.... for other ROM's you must flashing from beginning
Hmm, all i see here is OS Version: 7592.WM7_Main(mojobld).20110308-1514.
Does that help?

did you can send CAB files to phone? if you can, this is Yuki (BTTF) ROM.... but maybe is better to try change to other ROM.... only one warning... if your ROM is Yuki, then your sdcard is locked... you must first unlock it with sending unlock CAB file to phone and then format it before install new ROM....
i recommended this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
I could send cab files through a Microsoft developer tool, and my sdcard is not locked.
I will try the rom you recommended, thatk you for the reply dxdy!
Will let you know if i come up with results.

Why is everything so complicated!!
Ok my friend, i allready have Magldr v1.13 and windows 7592.
On your tutorial you write:
- when you turn on phone press and hold power button to boot direct to MAGLDR:
* go to 5. USB Flasher and run ENG_DWI.exe to flash ROM (or TR_DWI.exe. ENG is installer in English, TR is Turkish)
- after flashing process done, and when show Main screen with Tiles, do hard reset (Settings - About - reset my phone)
- you are done... ignore next steps
Got two questions on that.
I downloaded 3_HD2_Pdaimatejam_Rom_Wp7.5_mango_7.10.8107.79_v7.3.rar but there's no ENG_DWI.exe in the file..
How does it install windows 7 8107 just by hard resetting ?
I feel like a pain in the neck, sorry for that, if things get more complicated i'll try to find another way or just stay with 7592.
I flashed sdcard, went to usb mode but DWI.exe wont regognise the usb connection..

one time file is named ENG_DWI.exe.... totally not important how is named, DWI.exe or ENG_DWI.exe.. is same file..
did in USB mode in MAGLDR recognize USB?
Dxdy!!
It worked! Running on windows 7 8107!
Thank you for your tips, be well
Leo
Dude.. I've had this phone for what.. 3 years now?
It still feels new!
Everything works.. marketplace works, speech works, everything.
Only thing there is no alphabet with the apps, but that's fine, i'm sure i'll find something somewhere.
Thanx again dxdy!
