[Q] I can't get my phone to read as an HD7

I have successfully installed everything for the wp7 on my HD2..I have used the sideload apps with not many problems.. iheartradio is working, etc.. the problem I'm having is I don't fully understand how to hack the registry so that my phone will read as a HD7..so far its reading as LEO70.. i have some apps that are working but my netflix wont work and I cant find a YouTube that works... any suggestions? Thanks in advance...you guys are doing an awesome job with this.. I've gotten this far and I'm a total noob...(before a few weeks ago I didn't even know you could do this stuff)

Did you copy the custclear.prvxml file from Ringtones to Windows using XBModDeployer and TouchXplorer, and activate with MS key?
I think this changes the registry for you without regedit and lets you use HTC Hub apps and download them from Marketplace.

yes. i've installed both touchxplorer and an xbmod deployer and then copied and pasted the custclear.prvxml from the my documents/my ringtones folder to the windows folder but it still reads as leo70 and its activated already

Thats my knowledge all done then, I could e-mail you the zip file I downloaded, think thats done.

then i would probably have to flash wp7 again huh?? i read somewhere that you can only use your activation code 3 times and ive already used it twice so i want to make sure i know what the fix is for sure before activating it again! but thanks for trying!!

View attachment 514565 Not sure how this works but a zip file should be here somewhere, with the files I ran for ID.
There it is. In orange.
No I reflashed my phone 5 times yesterday, no jokes. Activation is good for your phone forever(ish).
You shouldn't need to reflash, just follow the guide from there on, apply all the .xaps, including the "Extras", I'm Pretty sure this is ID change, worked for me at least.

thanks..ill give it a try!!

and just to be sure...cuz im really knew at this.. i open the download and then what?? do i have to extract from a folder first or just deploy straight from the dowload??

What I did was to create a new Folder and unzip with WinZip to that folde, then more subfolders for each element, just to keep track of them.
When you are synced with Zune, run Chevron unlock and keep it open in the back ground. You wont need to re-install the cert.
Run Tom .xap Installer
Then install all the .xaps and copy / paste the file, run connection setup to install the pasted file.
Then check your ID, if its not HTC HD7 T9292, as mine is, then run the Extras bit, for phone reg tweaks.

Well I don't know what was different about your zip.pack but it worked!! I started with the Chevron, then did the TouchXplorer and XBMod Deployer, copied and pasted the custclear from my documents/my ringtones to windows on my phone and then did Connection Settings and sure enough my phone had changed to HTC HD2 T9292...netflix is working, apps are downloading from the marketplace!!! THANK YOU!!!!

hey once you move the custclear to windows then run the connection setup app and your phone will read hd7. the connection setup acts as a installer for custclear. as far as i understand. correct me if i am wrong.

Can you confirm if you ran the Extras or not, or was it ID'd before that?

well thanks to those guys there and nope..didnt have to go as far as the extras..it ID'd it before then..

[Q]software update files

after zune downloads the update, it has to store the files somewhere before deploying them to the phone, right? so, does anyone know where zune would store these temporary files? i couldn't find any relation between zune and my temp folder, so i will assume that it does something else, or that i am wrong. any ideas? i just want to see what i can make of them, or out of curiosity if you want.

process explorers view on the update
attached is a log of a network and file monitor while zune was doing the update.

is that a successful flash you have there? if you can find out which files its bulking at you could then do a compare with the same working file from an HD7 assuming the file isnt encoded in some way it might then allow us to see what needs changed, unless of course it has nothing to do with the registry and its actually doing some kind of IMEI check or somekind of hardware scan
another posibility is that its bulking because its finding something in the ROM that is consistant only to the DFT release s file name, reg settings or perhaps some hardware ID

Well I got this far, it backup my settings, after a few reboots and one disconnect, but I got " We couldn't back up your phone because your registry settings are incorrect."
What if I simply remove the SD, reset device, and the partition is set on device instead of on SD. It appears that other than some basic hardware reg tweaks for the ROM the original DFT(ROM) is pretty close to stock. Im more curious about Microsoft's update and implantation procedures and possibility of bypassing than just simply updating my HD2. I figure a rom with updates will be provided soon enough. What do you all think?

Thanks for providing this, seems that's where were stuck at. For now... bwa haha lol (joke).

If you're interested in the update file, I zipped up and attached what I found. Windows Phone 7 Connector (Mac OS X) stores the files in
~/Library/Application Support/Windows Phone 7 Connector/Cache/Device Update/
The update seems to be packaged in a MS cabinet file, with file extension .pks. The contents of this cab are the following:

Same problem here. Tried to update my HD2 with WP7 today and I got error 80180089 with "we couldn't back up your phone" as error description. Any solution?

no there isn't a solution for now, just wait till a mod cooks up a rom with the new update.

How to Get Early NoDo on your Surround TUT...updated

Your device needs to be dev-unlocked for this to work. Use the first two steps below to unlock. If you have already unlocked, skip to step 3.
First, download the WP SDK developer tools from here. You'll need them to be able to sideload and install the necessary XAP files.
You will need to developer unlock your device using the instructions here. It was tricky for me, as it took the better part of an hour as well as a hard reset to get the Chevron unlocker to communicate with the phone.
Download the attached .zip file below, and deploy the TouchXplorer, HTC Connection Setupfiles and ChevronWP7.Ringtones.xap from this package onto your device. I have inserted the proper .xap to change the carrier setting in the registry.
Run the ChevronWP7.Ringtones.xap and wait till it displays “Ringtones added… and CustClear.provxml underneath”
Run the TouchXplorer app, navigate to My Documents/My Ringtones click on CustClear.provxml and select Copy from the Application Bar.
Navigate back inside TouchXplorer to the Windows folder.
Select paste from the Application Bar, this should scroll right to the bottom and put a copy of CustClear.provxml in the Windows folder.
Now run the Connection Setup application and click on the Ok button (it’s the one with the tick).
Follow the directions here, but after disabling the the data connection on your device, wait 5 seconds and then hang up the VPN connection. The update will almost immediately appear. (Suggestion came from CR1M1N4L. Thanks!) YOU MAY ONLY GET THE PRE-NODO UPDATE AT THIS POINT. If so, you'll need to repeat step 9 after you've updated to get NoDo.
Run the update from Zune and enjoy your NoDo Surround.

Can confirm this worked for me on a Telus Surround.

Confirmed
Yeap it work for me too on AT&T

Updated first post with proper ringtones.xap.

Worked!
This worked great! Thanks for the info.
I also discovered after following this tut that you can quite easily get your own ring tones following these steps. Apologies if someone has already posted this.
1. Select a sound file (MP3 and WMA seem to both work) and email it to yourself.
2. When you receive the email on your phone, tap the attachment to download it completely.
3. Tap the sound file to open it.
4. Tap the Home button.
5. Open TouchXplorer and navigate to Volitile\EmailAttachments
6. There will be sub folders depending on how many attachments you have recently opened but serch through them until you find your sound file.
7. Tap the sound file once to highlight it then select Copy.
8. Navigate to My Documents\My Ringtones and paste the sound file there.
9. You should now be able to select your sound file as a ring tone.

Worked for me. At least I hope so. It's currently at 58% on step 7
Edit: It's complete and it works, but it seems it's relocked my phone. Not a big deal for me since I only unlocked it to do the update. Still, I haven't been able to unlock it. Just a warning for those with side loaded apps. It made me uninstall touch explorer. Funny thing, I haven't had a desire to unlock this phone in general until the nodo update, though unlocking and flashing was the thing I loved about winmo, which i used from the HTC 8125 through the Tilt/Kaiser.

Outstanding, folks...just outstanding.

it worked for me too.
but i used different solution.
Solution 2: Using a VPN dialup connection, here, after i connected to the VPN i disconnected my internet and continued, i instantly received my update even without turning cellural connection off

o2 uk users to europe unbranded mango guide

hi i recently came across the new RUU_Schubert_S_HTC_Europe_4.05.401.02_Radio_5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE rom which is the europe unbranded mango rom i successfully flashed my o2 uk rom to this update without using any of the hspl flashing techniques so this way will remain updateable even through zune so here goes
Step 1- download this rom http://www39.multiupload.com:81/fil..._5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar.zip
Step 2- extract this rom 2 a folder and name it something like update part 1
Step 3-download this file http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo.../ModelID.fig&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13155707623901
Step 4- download this mango rom http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo..._RELEASE.exe&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13155708495051
Step 5 extract the rom you downloaded in step 4 to a folder named update part 2 then drag the modeid file you downloaded in step 3 into your update part 2 folder
Step 6 flash your phone using the romupdateutility exe file in your 1st update folder at the end of this u will receive an error 270 dont panic as this is supposed to happen
Step 7 now time to flash again go to your update part 2 folder this time and click on the romupdateutility exe file and allow it to flash at the end of this you will have a fully unbranded mango 2 rom on your phone with all the updated radios
would also like to think ansar and petbede as parts of there discoveries was used in this guide hope this helps

Trying now, it worked for me to go to NoDo thnks to Petbed. I tried the oter methods to get Mango Final on mine by kept saying invalid vender ID so here goes....

Yes seems to work this way tx...daryld

Great Guide Daryld, Just thought id point out that anyone who is happy to have the HSPL can download DFT's new 7720 build, it is completely unbranded (have an O2 HD7 myself)
Great and simple way to also unbrand your phone

hi guys! quick question - the 2nd one is an application, so where does it extract to? I cant find a way - unless I need a rom extraction utility?

hi jragar if you have winrar just right clight on it and click open wif winrar it will show you all the files then drag them 2 a new folder hope this helps

you learn something new everyday - brilliant mate, never knew about winrar opening exes!

how strange, now I get device not found error 260.
May try rebooting laptop

r u sure u r putting ur phone in bootloader mode u need to do this before flashing and u can do this by turning ur phone completely off then holding the the volume down button only while pressing the power button on u shud see a tricolour screen then when you go to flash it should recognise ur phone let me know if this helps

There may be a misunderstanding occurred.
Try to rename filename and extension from "ModelID.fig" to "ModelID.bmp" (quote not include).
You will see a real file of ModelID.fig..
It's just image not hardware id.
The real hardware id was specific into the Rom in the offset 0x0220.

Quite painless and looks good - installed no issues so far.

does this method require y device to be unlocked ?

I guess doing this way you lose all your side-loaded apps including chevron unlock?

Future Updates?
Does this allow standard updating via Zune? Or will we have to put on the original mango carrier roms when and if they become available?

I followed this and it worked a treat top post
only problem I have is some of my app purchases seem to be lost.....e.g. I paid for PES2011 and now it shows up with the BUY which I am reluctant to click in case I pay twice....any ideas?

I can't find the Modeid file?
When I open up the file in step 3 the files in there are as follows:
RomUpdateutility.exe
Enterbootloader.exe
RUUgetinfo.exe
Rapitool.exe
RUUresource.dll
Readme.doc
RUU_signed.nbh
SPL_Signed.nbh
Enterusb.fig
Enterbattery.fg
Romupdateutlity.cfg
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry ignore my post, about 10 seconds after posting my computer decided to work so got it now thanks

Its fine just click buy and it says its already purchased and then download. The real pain is as you would expect flashing the rom you wont have any saved games but its a small price to pay. Your xbox achievements remain

Yeah having the same issue here

[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
