just try it again (reflash if possible)
i too had got this error, but i think my phone was kinda messed up..
went back to magldr and flashed back xbmod-yuki v2 rom and started the update process again, all through the cabs..
the only thing i did this time is that i didnt take all the languages, just chose the ones which came pre-installed with the rom.. put those together with the other 2 update files and it worked without a problem
im on 7720 now, no zune involved
edit:
& also, dont post questions in the dev thread again please

so if the error will not disappear I have to begin again with the flash 7004 ROM ?
OK, I will not post it thread like that in developers forum but it's related.
Thanks for answer

1.
OK If you went from flashing ROM 7004 [ version 2 ] to 7403 did you upload also 7401 ?
2.
Did you send in 7.0.7004.0-7.0.7403.0 also the canonical CABS ?
I did it second time via "WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat" and I put there also canonical CAB and it shows me same error like first time.
Thanks for help.
locked card
The problem could be because of locked SD card. If you use SD card with different WP7 installation, the card get locked and cant be visible for new WP7 installation.
I found that even for Zune it seems that you have working card - after connection you se storage of your card.
But when you start to access the card with update, doesnt matter if by Zune or by sending cab, the card is encrypted for old installation of WP7 and new installation of WP7 cannot access it.
So try to unlock the SD Card and then try new installation of WP7 with whole update. Should be working!!

[SOLVED] Zune Mango update?

Is anyone having success flashing Mango on their HD2 through Zune?
I was able to use the "force" method to update to NoDo (7392). But Zune will not find any more or the Mango update no matter how many times I try the "force" procedure.
I've installed the latest drivers through Windows Update.
Its a known fix for some including myself..send the devicepro.cab via cab sender and then hopefully zune should find 7720

I've never been able to figure out how to install cabs on my HD2/WP7. What is the procedure for using can sender?
Here is what I get when I try to install the cab.
Wow haven't seen that error code before
when u download the folder there should be a tool update folder select x64 or x84 according to your pc
Download device pro.cab place in folder no other cabs and hit the cab sender

Okay...so I put the device pro in the x64 folder, then run cab sender?
EDIT - still no go. Zune still won't find any other update after NoDo.
The screenshot of the folder is where I put the device pro cab.
I finally figured it out. I put the cab sender file in the x64 tools folder and also the device pro file in there and hit cab sender. It updated and then began the OS update. 7403 was first then 7720.
However, after installing 7720, it rebooted for the purpose of checking for more updates. The phone froze after booting. Now there is a cleanup update for the beta files but it errors out.
Well done...you were not meant to put them in that folder but if it works then why not...have you installed the beta update then? So the devicepro.cab made a difference
Zune can be very tempermental, with the beta update i manage to install it after 8 or 9 tries...in guest account reserve space 15 % and on welcomepage..

Yeah, thanks for help. But I need to know how to send cabs to my HD2 with Mango. I'm not succeeding. Can you please explain in detail where the necessary files need to be and what files need to be there?
I'm trying to remap the buttons so that the call button is set for the camera and found a cab for it, but I can't get it to install.
Eh...nevemind, I accidentally figured it out. Thanks for all the help, though.

you need to put the cab (OEM_DEV_KEYBOARD_2.cab or OEM_DEV_KEYBOARD_3.cab) that you want to send into the "WP7 Update Cab Sender" folder, next to the WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat file and the tools and logs folders.
Delete or remove any previous cabs that are there.
edit; oops i am getting slower, well done

Not familiar with cab sender hack. I assume this bypasses the need for zune. Zune does a backup that could be used to restore previous versions of the os. If you have done previous backups, you may want to consider the zune restore process, reverting to a previous is version. Then you can allow the normal update process to take place.
Good luck.
Actually that worked! Thanks, so if anyone else has this problem, what I did was restore with zune and then I just went from 7720 to 7740 with the cab sender because I knew that was the last working version.
DVP phone app error
can't seem to find a backup file before my 8107 update is there another way to roll back/ downgrade cab files or force update a different cab file?

[Q] Stuck at 100% of backup using Update Cab Sender

Hello, I recently flashed my Omnia with mi7ROM 8773 and wanted to perform a backup using Update Cab Sender. Everything seemed fine untill the progress hit 100% and sat there for what seemed an eternity. I waited half an hour, but nothing happened, so I disaconnected and powered off. The backup however does not show up in Zune. The same happened with EasyBackup tool. This ROM should be updatable via Cab Sender, so I have no clue where the problem is, in this way I am not able to update in the future, please, help. Thanks in advance.
Yes with this ROM is possible to update via CAB sender
Please Read Info about update over cab sender by mirolg
For Back-Up i think is possible but when will be an update available

Yes, I am aware of that, problem is, the update process did not even have a chance to start, as the backup preceding it got stalled.

What you wish to update via CAB Sender?
Before update with CAB Sender you have installed "if needed install this tool"?

Right now, I don't want to update anything, I have a freshly flashed ROM and installed all my apps and stuff neatly set up, so I just wanted to perform a backup of this state. As for your second question, yes, I did install that tool.
PS: The opening post contains logs collected by UCS if anyone wants to have a look.

When there is an update to do just press B "Send to device Cabs with (B)ackup"
I don't think you can do a Backup using the CAB Sender without put an Update

I already did that multiple times, all you need to do is to put ANY update cab into the folder, it does not matter if the update is already installed. The tool will display an update failure, but the purpose is to make a backup, which is done. Yes, I know the routine, B for Backup before update, S for sending cabs to device directly without a backup before that. My problem is that I am not able to perform a backup. If there was a real update available, I would not b able to install it with the B option.

Hello, I use mi7rom_v1b_6 lang_05.04.12_tango 8773_FW_11.11.2. Your ROM is btw excellent. I know it's bit off-topic, but I'm experiencing another problem - on several occasions the phone failed to boot and ended up with a plain red screen and I had to force power off. This happened several times, but on one occasion as much as three times in a row, it booted successfully on the 4th try. I did not make any non- standard tweaks. As the author, you could be the best to look into these issues. I also wonder if anyone else is having them. Thanks for the great job an your reply.
the full red screen after boot can causes on the tweak "fix 32- bit mode". look in advanced Config app and if is selected, then unselect it.

Hi, yesterday, I tried a backup again, with the same result, but this time the backup showed up in Zune. So I went ahead and tried the cab version of contable's skin and all went fine. Then I tried to restore to the backup made and all seemed fine, but the restoration process got stuck at 99% at this time. Then the phone rebooted, but went again to download mode. I disconnected, but it did that again and again. So I ended up with a half-bricked device that I needed to re-flash. Now I wonder what might be the cause. The thing is, all this went down on my second computer, so it is perhaps unrelated to the PC side.

[Q] can someone help me with cabs and task29

I've loaded Pentaj#&$& (can't remember how its spelled) latest Rom on my phone, however I couldn't task29 or anything with the hd2 toolkit because it always timed out after 10 minutes and got a communication error and the HTC screen on the phone stayed at 0%. Any ideas why? I've tried two windows 7 pcs with the same results.
Secondly I want to push a sound fix cab to the phone but the only tutorial u can find for cab sender doesn't give enough info. Is there a better method and if not could someone explain to me how to set this up?

you should be reading all you can about flashing and etc before you actually do it & know where to find info resources. check out the link in my signature to flashing wp7.
and there really isn't a tutorial on cab sender.
I've flashed many roms, but always came from the original WM 6.5 yadda yadda... It said to task 29 this time, but for some reason, despite seeing the phone and initializing it would never get past 0%. I've heard it may have something to do with the wrong version HSPL?
The CAB deal, I've downloaded the program and done the suggested push with backup, but it doesn't see the file... where do you have to post the CAB file to?
Anyways, even without the task 29, coming from ICS it seems to work fine.
