Keep checking Footballs rom thread, I'm sure if there is an official rom, that they will have it. He normally post the roms a few weeks before Verizon allows updating to Zune.
If you expect Verzion to release it's Trophy Tango update the same day as everyone else, don't. I honestly think HTC is the hold up, since they treat the CDMA Trophy on Verizon differently, but we probably won't see the official update for a few months.
As for updating your custom rom, don't. If the updates to apply, you'll almost guaranteed to loose tethering in the process (since tethering isn't supported in the official WIRELESS drivers that would be included in an update). Wait for new custom rom's instead.
Felt I had to amend my previous post in this thread. The Tango update actually includes tethering officially now. Football hasn't had any luck finding an official Tango rom yet though. And we did get Tango the same day as everyone else... so Verizon must really be throwing some serious support behind Windows Phone now.. I bet we'll see a Nokia WP7 or even WP8 on Verizon sometime soon!

I certainly hope for 8 in the next few months! But in the meantime, I'm sure a XevRev rom based off the official vzw tango rom would suffice
Well, the problem is that there isn't an official Verizon tango rom yet.
This isn't a huge problem, as I have updated my official based Mango 8107 test rom to 8773 with no hitches. After updating the sys, its a simple matter of updating the driver cabs in the rom, producing a rom that is basically going to be identical to the official Verizon Tango image you get via Zune update, but with full unlock and some of the added nokia fun from Dynamics7.
XevRev is close to being finished. I'm hoping to take the time after work tomorrow to cook up the final version and send it to a few people to test (although it shouldn't need much testing since I have my own person test phone).
XevRev will be based on Dynamics7 1.21 (for Titan) from ultrashot.
That's not even the exciting part!
Thanks to ultrashot's input, we managed to get the entire programming menu and programming function up and running with full unlock! I wish I would have had more time this week to build the finished release... you know what, I'll get the thing cooked, test it myself.. and then just release it for public testing.
Downside: We'll be stuck with the Mango v3 8017 radio until I either a) I build a custom cab that can be pushed to the phone b) manage to extract the radio and adapt it to be flashed using the rom method in my rom thread (unlikely).
XevRev will basically be the following:
Verizon OEM base (not Spark Euro like other SparkW roms that are out now)
Dynamics7 1.21 with custom nokia stuff removed (broke too much stuff) except for Nokia blue-tooth contacts transfer.
Newest xap installer from ultrashot (this is what really makes programming and stuff work!)
Yuki cert
Add Bazaar for WP7 and Reinstaller out-of-box from official market place (cause if people haven't used Reinstaller... they will now that they know it exist!)
If I got time, I'm guna replace Slacker radio with Last.FM cause Slacker sucks.... why would I do that? CAUSE I CAN DURR~
Netflix is byebye.
I'll prob release four versions of this rom:
1) Verizon OEM - English only
2) Verizon OEM - International
3) Verizon OEM removed - English only
4) Verizon OEM removed - International
I don't see a point in making a version with the Euro oem package... I always ended up removing those apps anyway.
I have found no way to install the official updates from Verzion onto this rom (OS works okay, but driver package fails). I'm guessing this is because, when SPL fails to update cause HSPL v3 stops it, the entire processes is aborted.
I'll try to get a test version of English only build out. If that goes well, I'll release the other flavors quickly after. The international version will include all the language support found in Dynamics7 1.21.

Any word yet if/when Bell/Virgin will be rolling out 2.2 to Canadian users?
If I don't get it relatively soon I'll probably root. Is that more difficult to do with the Bell build?
Any suggestions from rooted Bell users?
No word yet. Canadian carriers suck at issuing updates in a timely fashion. I rooted my Legend over the summer and installed the Vodafone 2.2 build recently with no problems. For the root, you'll need to downgrade to the 1.31 RUU before you can successfully root.
Hi,
I wrote to Virgin Mobile support on November 30 and I got the following answer:
Hi there - HTC is currently working on this update and we're hoping to have it within the next couple months. We'll keep you guys up-to-date online. Stay tuned!
Lots of Love,
Virgin Mobile

I made a thread about this over at howardforums. somebody responded saying Virgin is working on it and they expect it to be out in January, and if there are any delays, early February.
I got tired of waiting for Virgin to come out with Froyo, so I rooted and flashed Cyanogen on my Legend and couldn't be happier. There is a bug with voicemail notifications, but I'm sure that will be fixed soon.
When (and IF) Virgin has an update, I'll do it on my wifes phone, but the added features that Cyanogen gives is well worth it.

That's pretty brutal. I love my Legend, but I really regret buying it from Bell. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them.
Which rooting guide has the most success with the Legend?
I'm fairly new to this, so I'll have to do my homework before attempting a root.
Maybe a good December project.
i work for virgin mobile and own the legend myself.
I ask my DM, and manger almost weekly about the update only to hear that they have no idea.
I call technical support (store line/regular line) and no one there knows either.
I also check our daily updates.. daily. Only to find nothing about the legend day after day.
I've been holding my breath for the update, but i don't suggest you do the same.
Unbrand your phone by installing the WWE version and you will probably get the update faster than Bell or Telus.
Hopefully it's coming Monday.
--io
The update is likely only days away so i suppose it's a funny time to ask about debranding.
My main issue is that I don't know what rom to use from the shipped roms website... a little bit of a text explanation would be great.
I still don't know what RUU means... or what WWE is... and i've been actively doing some reading on the subject.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!
go to the wiki!!!! everything is there!!!!
Haha, that post was actually quite useful
RUU = Rom update utility
WWE = World Wide English
So all I have to do is pick the most recent WWE version and I'm good to go?
I got annoyed with the flip-flopping and waited until after the halfway mark in the month. I've rooted my phone and it works perfectly.
I found that Blayo's ROM to run extremely well on the Legend.
Sorry for bumping it again ( I've been monitoring this thread and everytime i see it bumped up, it gives me hope... but only to find out we are all asking the same thing ... WHEN?!!)
Since BELL discontinued the Legend, does this mean when (if?) Virgin releases the OTA update, BELL users like me will get the same VIRGIN update as well show up on our phone?
The post about updating it with the WWE version... if i understand it correctly, the steps are:
1. Create a gold card... i saw a thread about a manual (albeit complicated for the non-techno geek.. ) way and an automated way using a software someone wrote
2. Run the latest WWE that has been posted (this is supposed to debrand our phone so that we can "see" the SOftware Update for WWE, right)
3. Check the Software Update on the phone and i should see the Fryoyo Update. ( I assume if we apply update, the ROM Update (data) it will download on the phone will be billable...or count as your data usage)
Does this sound about right?
I'm keeping this update via WWE as my last option if the OTA does not see the light of day...for us BELL users..
At this point, i'd say it's 70/30 that bell does not get the update. Just because as you've said, it's a discontinued phone for bell. with a small install base.
Hopefully Virgin/Bell decide to push it to bell sets. I'm not sure if they'd have to prepare two versions for that though. From what i understand, we're only a few days away from finding out.
It's funny, Bell Discontinued the Legend because they couldn't keep them in stock due to HTC having a lack of stock because the Amoled screen wasn't being produced fast enough. hence why they switch to a different screen for the Legend. Most people think it was just old or selling poorly when in fact those are both false.

There was noise about an update in Mid-Jan from Virgin, Bell as far as I remember has discontinued support and it's unlikely that there's going to be an update. You won't get the OTA update unless Bell releases it. I'm rather dissapointed with the promises that keep being broken for our rather expensive service... Root your 'phone.
The procedure is :
Create a Goldcard. As you mentioned there's very easy to follow guides out there.
Downgrade your phone to an earlier version of the software. This permits rooting your phone.
Root your phone. This will allow you to install a ROM other than the Carrier's ROM.
Install either a stock ROM (WWE) or a custom ROM.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I am using Blayo's ROM, which is almost identical to the stock FroYo ROM, but with a few tweaks that just make the phone feel nicer. I would reccomend looking into some of the other ROMs as well. You may find something you like. Android's about choice and this is one great advantage of rooting your 'phone.

I'm gonna give it up to the end of Jan and if there are no updates, i'll definitely go this way... im out of space to install anything else... angry birds and talking tom are taking so much space... had to remove my talking tom to install some smaller apps.
On Facebook, the guy from Virgin told that they had problems with the update so they are doing more testing...
If you want to be up to date, I really suggest you to root your phone and try a rom. You won't lose any functions on your phone and you'll never have to wait again.

Hello there, i'm new to this flashing ROM, rooting and stuff...
In your post, it sounds easy, create a golden-SD (follow the guides), downgrade and update the WWE...
i got lost on the second step... how do you downgrade the phone? I have a VM legend 2.1 w/ update 1 and seems like VM is not giving out the update. I'm thinking going your way but don't know how to downgrade the phone.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
What will we have to do. Will we get the upgrade automatically or will we have to install the new version once it's hacked? Thanks.
Maybe we all have to wait for the devs to import the update in their build.. I think we can not update our device since is not activated and an Official WP7 device!

1.) You can activate your phone by simply get a key from microsoft
2.) And the HD2 thinks with a little trick, that it is a real HD7
Manual: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10936215#post10936215
And we will recieve updates, all updates. If they don't change something with the bootloader, we will have no problems. But if they do, it could be possible that we're not able to start the phone anymore without flashing WP7 without updates again, so at first be aware of installing updates.
Thanks for clarify it mate!
MS have no real reason to mess around with the bootloader and I even think that they can't at all, because Samsung, LG, HTC and Dell all use their own proprietery bootloaders. It's not like changing one bootloader but at least 4. And nobody would do it just in order to prevent some HD2's from updating. It would contradict totally to the relaxed way MS are giving away activation codes.
The WP7 rom for hd2 had to be modified to work on the HD2... I don't think the MS updates will work on it. We'll have to wait and see what happens when MS does the update. I think we'll have to wait for the devs to release updated roms.
New Bada 2.0 roms and a Mango release this week.
This is what they said 3 hours ago. Maybe it is i8700xxki1..what do you think about it?
If so, really thanks to Samfirmware

According to me it is KI1 and it has new radio/firm/boot as kh2 with the "only" difference it has official Mango and no brand. Really hope so. Thanks again SamFirmware
EDIT : i can see no more the post on facebook. Can you? I think they cleaned it

Communication problem? Maybe some English lessons would help them cause I can't make any sense of what they said there.
so, we will see!
Their English is not one of the best, but please try to understand. English is difficult for everyone who comes from all the countries except for uk/us/australia etc...i understood everything they said so we don't need to insult them.
Anyway the final mango ROM is coming in 2 days via zune. Why not just wait for it?
That is not a rom. First of all a rom contains new firmware/radio and bootloader, the "thing" that should come in 2 days is an "update", Mango 7720.68. Secondly Samsung said one month ago that before Mango update they would have released a firmware update to let us receive Mango. Before that we won't be able to get Mango, so I think we will have to wait for long time yet..
just think a second, all the people that don't know this forum and are not able to flash the phone how do they could update, the official mango release for everyone and every brand of cell phone will come through Zune
brands like samsung...htc...they have the rtm and customize it for their phones then they send it back to ms and will be released through Zune

Radio and bootloader ARE updated through imageupdate, check package MODEM - it contains both radio and bootloader.
One would assume that they would make one big update containing all of this stuff - Omnia 7 can receive Mango update, we already tried it with the XXKH2 ROM's .pks that was with it. Update through beta to RTM and deploy that PKS to install the OEM part of the upgrade. Worked fine.
So you are saying that omnia 7 will have Mango even without drivers update right? I have KC1 now i hope this is enough to get Mango
it's good to see someone from samfirmware here.
I would like to ask one question regarding samfirmware website.
Why is there no direct way to find windows phone roms?
When you go to toolbox section, and firmwares, there you can only choose bada, symbian, windows mobile, but no windows phone.
Where do you guys put all the latest wp7 roms?
Windows Mobile is the same section als Windows phone 7
15.09. and no mango ?
It drives crazy.... Where would our mango be??????
I was under the impression that we were unable to install the new tango updates while running custom roms? Being a total noob and not knowing any better I may have done just that. Or being a complete noob I could be mistaken :silly: After screwing something up messing with registry files, yes I knew better but I couldn't resist, I did a hard reset on my Verizon Trophy running DFT Freedom ROM V5 for Spark_W with the Mango v3 Radio. Downloaded a few xaps and yep still unlocked so just for fun I ran the software updates and language packs using xboxmod's WP7 Update Cab Sender which completed with no errors. Didn't fix the Internet Sharing issue on this rom but did enable Commercial Mobile Alert System which was not included in this rom; see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546287&page=2. I am fairly sure these settings appeared before updating the radio to Mango v3. Like I said being a noob I could be completely off track but is there any other way to tell if the updates took?

No, it isn't that these updates won't work, it is that they haven't been recommended for installation (quiet a difference). The reason the driver update was always avoided, was because the WIRELESS driver would be replaced with one that wouldn't enable Internet Sharing (meaning if you installed the older driver updates, your Internet Sharing would either disappear, or simply stop working). Since this new driver enables it, it might not be a bad idea to update to it, since it fixes the random MAC address issue. Also, the recommendation was to not use Zune to update, since it will push out ALL updates.
Using WP7 Update Cab Sender is good for those who know what they are doing, but up until the Spark_W Tango update, we had no official hotspot support. Now that the hotspot support is in the driver, I don't see the issue in pushing the driver update cab (which I recently posted the link to here).
Also, if your running on a network other then Verizon, you might need to change the new default Internet Sharing settings using the info found here. If you have unlimited data go here to get it working.
You've inspired me to go ahead and push the driver update to my primary phone, worst case I can restore my backup if it kills tethering (which it shouldn't).
Looks like the driver update won't take for ansar's Tango rom. I'll need to do some testing to figure out why. Maybe it's about time I did a build of XevRev and released it for our phones. With tethering official supported, so long as I make the support universal in the WIRELESS driver, we'll have fixed tethering support.

I think an XevRev build would be highly anticipated and appreciated!!! I've been jumping through all the available custom roms for the Spark_W just to get a feel for them and trying different things out. I couldn't push ANY of the update cabs to ansars rom. I will try the driver update later with the DFT v5 and get back to you. I thank you sir for your time, your knowledge, and your hard work :good:
No luck pushing the driver update to DFT's rom either so decided to play around with the SolvZ v1 rom from DocMentalZ. Software update cabs installed no problem but still no luck with the drivers. I do like this rom especially the custom theme colors however seems to have the same problem with Internet Sharing as the DFT rom. I can't really see me using tethering it's just one of those things that if it's available I want it!!! Still, rather have the full unlock of a custom rom if I have to choose. Once again, I thank you sir :highfive:
If you pushed the OS cabs, push the updated driver for VZW Trophy as well. If the rom let you push from 8107=>8112=>8779, then you should be able to push the driver.cab after all of that (do a full backup before just in case it breaks something).
DFT v5 might work since its 8107 Mango.. but I think the leaked 8107 DFT is probably a better rom to try updating with.
Also make note of the tethering information in the post and do that if you must. To reach the programming menu, you MUST have a stock like rom installed without unlock.
I keep thinking when I do release XevRev, I'll have to have at LEAST three-five versions of it (one without full unlock but inter-op so you can use Root Tools for unlock and still have programming menu, a Full-Unlock ver 8107, and a Full-Unlock ver 8779, and a Full-Unlock with no preinstalled OEM apps).
Still no luck with OEM cabs on any custom spark_w roms. Quick question a lol off topic...Is Chevron unlock still possible if I flash back to stock?
Chevron unlock is possible, but not recommended. All fully unlocked roms have the interop unlock that chevron provides built in. I am currently working on a rom that might solve almost ALL of our problems... I'm testing the updatability right now to be sure.
All I can say it.. I figured out the source of the programming problems [it's related to XIP unlock and xap deployment] thanks to a huge help from ultrashot! Currently, I have a fully unlocked phone that can program and its updating to 8773 at this very moment (I intentionally built it on 8107 so we could install the newest HTC drivers and get the newest radio on our phones)... but it still needs a xap deployment tool.. since I had to remove all xap deployment from it to make programming work.
I'm going to try and manually deploy Bazaar to the phone in an attempt to still get xap deployment up and running from Dynamics7 manually.
I'll be testing the crap out of this and communicating further with ultrashot.. hopefully a "once and for all" solution can be found now the true problem has been identified.
8773 checked out okay with my Dynamic7's 1.21 port, now to test the new drivers with official internet sharing.
Okay, driver update failed. I'm guessing it fails because it cannot update the HSPLed bootloader.... Might need a custom driver cab that removes the SPL update and just does everything else. :/

Sup people,
What is the latest version of the OS out there for the DVP?
7.xx.xxxx?
Right now I have 7.10.7720.
To beat a dead horse, these things can't be updated right? No one has figured out how to do it?
7.10.8773.98 is the latest update
The current version for DVP is 7.10.8773.98. The updates have been released by Dell and Microsoft long back, but telecom companies like TMO and ATT have been holding back the updates. There have been many instances of users angry posts on various forums including microsoft answers and latest I read a couple of days back is that Windows 7.8 will be directly sent by MS to phones bypassing the operators, so I think as Windows 7.8 release date seems some time OCT-DEC 2012, its best to wait for the update as all phones would definitely be getting the 7.8 bypassing the operators.

Mine is running 7.10.8773. A few weeks back I had a notification that it had an update and plugged it into zune and it updated. I am on T-Mobile in the US if that helps.
The latest WP7 rom for any device is 8779.
Officially the VP is somewhere between 7720 and 8773 (as in what it will recieve over zune updates/OTA)
There has yet to be a single user that recieved the 8779 update to actually bother getting the urls for it, we only have up to 8773 so officially or unofficially that is the latest version for the VP.
Hopefully when WP7.8 launches we'll get the 8779 urls (as that's how WP updates usually work)
We're on T-Mo US too and haven't recieved any notifications.
My mom's HD7 is on 8107, with both our phones saying "no update found".
Can they be forced?
Assuming you know what languages are already on your device: yes.
The firmware bundle might be a bit of an issue, so you really need to read and plan or you might end up with a brick.
Only the lumias are reliably getting 8779 as it's still carrier/manu dependant what one is officially available.
