I'm having a specific situation that I need help with.
Marketplace has just been opened in Croatia. So now i need to switch my liveID, and put my real, Croatian one as the main phone account. The one I have now was just a token one made registered to UK just so that I could have access to free marketplace.
I have a Samsung Omnia and I's been updated via Zune to the 8107 firmware. Windowbreaking after hard reset is not an option than.
Can I just restore the phone via Zune, hard reset, enter my croatian ID and windowbreak, OR
Do I need to flash my phone with and older firmware manually?
In other words, will zune restore also remove the samsung patch for windowbreak?
I think that should work.
I did the same, except I never did the hard reset because I wanted to keep the same live ID linked to the phone.
When you did the latest samsung update on Zune, it would've created a restore point for you automatically. Now if you plug in your phone, open Zune, click settings/phone/update, it will check for a new update, say there is none, and then give you the option at the bottom to restore.
Naturally you should make sure your contacts are synced to some other place (I use an Outlook account) and all your new photos and videos have been synced to zune.
Then do the restore, and make sure you don't allow your phone to update again after the restore. Hard reset, enter the new liveID and then windowbreak.
Hope this answers your question...
Thanks for the reply. Jaxbot already said it would work, but i appreciate a confirmation. i'm just getting ready to do it

I just upgraded to the latest ROM's supplied by O2 (3.17.03), and now active sync says my backup was made with the wrong version of software.
Is there any way to get the data back on to my XDA? In particular my contacts, as they will be the hardest to replace?
If not, is it possible to go back to the old ROM? (the radio ROM upgrade warned not to downgrade roms)
ActiveSync backup can be only restored to the same ROM. The best way to backup contacts is to use Outlook. Yes, you can flash your ROM back to the previous version, restore the contacts, backup them to Outlook, flash the new ROM then sync with Outlook to get the contacts list
there ma ybe another way
So i was about to download the old ROM updates from http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda/xda_ROM_Archive.htm
When i read the readme on that page. It says that active sync can only restore to a device with exactly the same partnership/device ID. It says you must delete the existing partnership and recreate it.
So i have done that, and a resotre is currently in progress (restoring a full backup from an old rom, to the new rom version of my walaby).
I will post back in 10 minutes when it has finished to let everyone know what has/hasnt been restored.
check for reginal settings.
In case it was changes to customize your device before upgrage - change them now from default.
it is not recommended to restore after ROM upgrade, tho...
restore not reccomended
I suppose i can understand why, but in any case i dont use outlook. So i cant see me having much choice...
Btw, does anyone know of software to sync the XDA to mozilla (preferable under linux too!)
backup to SD card
Out of curiosity, the pdf i read regarding the upgrade said you can back up to a SD card too.
Is this any different to backing up via ActiveSync? Is it any less risky to restore such a backup after an upgrade?
Up to my information, it has the same issue ... SD backup can't be restored to a different ROM version.
http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/
sync with
evolution
cynce
Looks good... anyone tried to sync with Mozilla Thunderbird??
Restore worked
So the restore seems to have worked... kind of...
The thing runs, but the old sms messages are only in the index, and i cant seem to delete them or view them.
The new programs from the upgrade dont seem to be here, though they could be lying around in a folder somwhere i havent looked.
My Fiitaly install works, though the input method occasinaly tries to be the transcriber even though it shouldnt be.
All in all, its usable, but when i have time i will be finding a copy of outlook just to back up the contacts and then flashing the ROM again and installing everything else again.
A note to anyone else who might be trying the same thing, all your notes etc can be backed up just by activesync synchronising your XDA mydocuments with a sub-folder of your pc's mydocuments. Then hopefully outlook can do the contacts and appointments. Dunno what you'd have to do if you wanted to save your sms messages or call log or anything
Results
Well, instead od studying for my exams (yup, just like me to do this) I installed Outlook, synchronised the XDA, flashed it again, synchronised it again, installed my software and it seems to be pretty good!
Lost my sms messages, but thats no problem to me.
2 things that are odd:
I had to add a shortcut to notes.exe in the start menu because it didnt exist
Also, i cannot create new accounts, ie gprs email ones. Of course, this would only be useful if the new ROM supports encrypted IMAP connections. Does it? Is there a free (or maybe cheap) third party solution that does?
1. phones are connected to the computer tips, zune tips Update - This step updates zune
2. Update finished restart the computer, mobile phone and computer still prompts - this step update wp7
3. Phone restart the update process twice, the first mobile phone icon appears on a mobile phone and computer icons, that is being updated, you can not disconnect the cable
4. After completion of the second telephone restart is complete.
The following is the outcome:
1. Update completed - but prompt registry error, error code: 80180089
2. Phone also, as before, has not been re-locked, it now appears the update was not successful does not bring any bad influence
Off-topic:
1. My hd2 has been disguised as hd7-through change registry
2. Microsoft Hong Kong live account is given - call me in the past to the
3. Usually use the normal function (including the market, simultaneously, zune show hd7, found my phone) - does not appear abnormal
hd2 Please do not update:
1. After the update failed to install the xbox game market, reboot several times, has never been this situation before, do not know how it is
2. Also automatically crashes, are several times
Alas, only to re-install wp7
Look forward to an expert forum to identify and resolve, ha ha
I have exactly same problem. What the solutions may found? :||| I need updates.
Some people say that to reset phone and after that on HD2 updates will be work. How u think it will be work? And when I will reset my phone, it meand that I will lost all my phone data? or it possible with some ways to save a data and when make an phone reset.
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!
Hey guys,
I've done something stupid, my phone is bootloader unlocked and it's only firmware 2.3.2.
I have been deleting some application (bloatware), and I didn't back up all the applications I've deleted, but I must have deleted something important. But anyways, today I've restored the phone to factory because It keeps telling me that one of my google account password is wrong (I have 2 google account synched) and I don't remember the password.
So, I restored to phone factory it and now when I try to connect it to the PC, it usually opens up connect to pc and you can select how you want to connect it, using USB, etc. It doesn't come up no more and It doesn't seem to install the driver properly on the pc. So I am not able to connect it to the pc to access my micro sd card no more. I still have my MTP app running and such. Just not sure which app i'm actually missing that makes the selection disappears.
It's not just that doesn't pop up anymore, when you press the power button you usually get to select if you want your phone in silent mode/airplane more. But now when I press it, I'm only able to select power off.
Anybody know or anyone could help me?
Cheers,
Aaron
Since you are only on 2.3.2. could you not follow the processes to go flash back to generic 2.3.2 UK release. it is very easy to do. goto the development section in xplay forum.
if that was stupid answer, then sorry, but I have fl;ashed back lots of times already on mine.
I am on XBmod and Yuki's 7720 mango.
The day before yesterday all my sideloaded xaps would not open and returned the "revoked by microsoft, please uninstall" message.
I read around and it seems that the phone had become locked (possibly interop locked), so yesterday I tried to (b)ackup and send the DEV_UNLOCK.CAB which succeeded to install. However I still got the revoked message.
So I did a 1234 gogogo reset and set up activation etc. Interestingly, this did not affect my extrapartition as I assume a settings/about reset would. Also interestingly, I was able to (r)estore from cab sender, and all my apps reappeared (I did not check if SMS were restored doh!), but the revoked message reappeared too!
So I did another 1234 reset and set up phone and zune, and was able to sideload apps again. After a while of access to these apps, suddenly all of them wont open at all. On touching the app icon, it does a wiggle and thats all, no message.
So I tried to send DEV_UNLOCK.CAB but it didn't work because already unlocked.
Also, I have exceeded my 5 phone zune limit and can't sync apps until 23/10.
I have a feeling that we need to be full-unlocked as in DFT rom,
Also I might try WP7 root tools (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265321 interesting reading) after another reset.
Does anyone else have this problem with this ROM or any thoughts?
Edit; WP7 root tools unavailable for htc as yet
Edit 2; found to be advanced config tool 1.4/tweaks/prevent re-lock. Do not use this with this ROM it somehow interferes to ruin your xaps
hello folks,
i've one htc hd2 with mango 7220, and will upgrade to green mango 7592,
after start the upgrade process, i'll lost all my contacts?
thanks!
Just syncronize them with Google or your Live account. Then you'll never lose them again. Just resync when you flashed and BAM all contacts are there.
Why are u downgrading to green mango 7592??
Yes, google or live account will do, or simply import fr yr SIM to phone..
Make sure you sync all accounts (I.e. Google, MS passport) it'll be the last time you loose contacts!
Use yuki-xbmod back to the future ... Takes you all the way to official Mango and updates through Zune after initial flash. =D
