That is the thread that will have what you are looking for. You will get told to read read and read some more. There is so many options so you will be busy for a while trying it all. Feel free to message me if you want to just chat on my experiences but I am no expert. Good Luck!
Yeah, I went to microsoft website, and found an update from 6.0 to 6.1 but it's only for Vista, and not xp. It appears there are so many different roms that do this, but it doesn't appear like there is a basic 6.0 to 6.1. Am I wrong???
i want to upgrade my rom but i get so scared of bricking the phone that i just get discouraged and stop reading only because my knowledge is limited so thats what makes me scared to mess something up.
I agree, im a bit scared of messing up my phone, its a t mobiel dash, but i have a problem where my phone cycles and cycles at powerup, but will not load up unless i remove my memory card then gives me a sim registration error. apparently this will fix it. anyone know what it will enatil to do the update? i was able to find a download for it for my phone...
hey guys well anyways i have a major problem...my wing cant be recognized in windows 7 for some reason and also i wanted to run the net on it since its my only source of net, im at a friends house and i really need someones help of how to get windows 7 to recognize my wing, are there any drivers that someone can give me to try? i already installed mobile device center and no luck but i havent updated anything on after i upgraded to windows 7..plz help...thnx
As far as I know, Windows 7 is still in BETA stage. So there will be bugs and glitches. There will be no support for Windows 7 under Microsoft's website until its Final Release, but I believe you can send them any bugs you may encounter since you are a W7 BETA Tester. However anyone who is using Windows 7 and has successfully linked the Windows Mobile Device Center and their PPC or Smartphone should post their instructions step-by-step on how to get it working. Then this thread could be a sticky for all those who are also having the same problem.
Just download Windows Mobile Device Center from Microsoft. That's the new interface software for windows mobile devices and it works flawlessly on Windows7 and the TMO Wing and does everthing that Activesync does.
apparently i DID download device center but it still wont get the wing recognize....i will try some stuff and keep people updated of this problem im having
win 7 here.. when i plug in, I get "device stopped working".. it wont sync, but it will show under my computer and i can go thru it like normal to transfer files etc.. just no sync..
We can only wait it out perhaps.
well whenever i plug mine in it doesnt show under my computer, can u tell me what u did to make that happen??
Hi
Have a Touch2 T3333 which has ROM version 1.28.401.4 (66092)
I bought it as I wanted a Windows phone originally for complete Exchange sync.
However I'm on the verge of just giving up with it and buying another handset, as it's just so riddled with bugs and problematic.
I thought I'd give it one last go and see if there were any updates for the OS to make it usable.
The HTC website does have an update for it which looks significantly newer, however when I try to download that and put in the S/N of the handset I get told that it isn't suitable. There is no way on there for me to part-patch up to an intermediate version then to that version.
I'm not looking for "tweaks" as such, I just want what's there to work (the weather bits, the active sync, Opera not to crash all the time, not to have to launch IE twice every time, the phone to switch properly between WiFi and 3G, YouTube to detect the network connection properly, Audible Player to sync properly, not to have to take the battery off the back and put it back on about once a week every time it locks up.. the list just goes on..)
I'm not sure if these are general issues with Windows mobile itself which has a kind of beta not-quite-finished feel to it and no version really works properly, or if the update would solve these problems.
As I'm so frustrated with the thing I don't mind all that much if I end up killing it completely and then have to throw it in the bin and go out and get an Android based replacement.
I've read about ROM updates on here and I can see in the Mega - ROM - Hotfix thread there's a ROM "WWE Europe - 1.28.401.4" which I'm guessing is the one to try. But then it appears to simply be the version I already have.
Based on how old the ROM it has appears to be (16/09/2009) how can I get the HTC updated ROM 1.33.110.2 to install (the HTC site badges it "T-Mobile" and I have O2), and would anyone else who has be able to comment on whether it's just that my experience with Windows mobile is so poor and I should persist, or whether I should call it a day and move on? (I can see plenty of people have tried getting hold of Android on this handset....could the new Windows 7 work on it in time...?)
Moved to general as not rom development
Pull the network right after checking for updates - if you get it right, you'll receive the update immediately and won't have to wait for the staged roll-out to reach you.
It was the same with NoDo.
How much time did you wait before u pulled off the network ?

Running Official Mango !!!!!!! Loving every bit !!
Update Version # 7.0.7403.0
It then updates to 7.10.7720.68
The below link should help too
http://www.wpcentral.com/force-mango-update-early-through-zune-software
This worked for me on my phone branded to T-Mobile UK just finishing installing the secound update now. Heres what i did
Debrand the hand set
Check for updates
Block out going connections with my firewall
Rebrand the hand set
Update
7.0.7403.0 is installed no problems. nearly finished installing 7.10.7720.68 has taken me nearly a hour.
Any tips on how to do the internet pull thingy?
It doesn't seem to work for me...
Every time I do the pull i get a message that there's a connection problem and when i reconnect i get a message that my phone is up to date...
I've got Zune running on a laptop with a wi-fi enable/disable key so following the instructions on wpcentral I selected Update, waited for it to say 'Your phone is up to date' then selected the item above (Linking), then selected Update again and immediately disabled wi-fi to kill networking and this worked a treat, now running Mango
Unfortuneately, I had hoped Mango might help with my Omnia's random rebooting/boot failure problem, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference :-(
Does seem to boot a lot quicker though (when it decides it wants to boot!!)

I'm sharing my experience with Mango update...
Omnia 7 ex T-Mobile but now unbranded
from NoDo 7392
Initially, I didn't get any update message when connecting with Zune and trigering Search update from Zune Settings -> Phone -> Update.
I tried the disconnection thingy about 10 times without success. At that point, on my phone, I had disabled WiFi and Data Connection, but I was connected to the carrier network. I disconnected Internet on the pc after 3-4 seconds. I tried multiple times altering that timeframe to no avail. Some say that u have to disconnect quickly less than 3 seconds, almost after searching for update.
My next guess was to go to Airplane mode on my handset, and after the first try - voila - I got prompted that there is an update, 7.0.7403.0, clicked OK, connected Internet back on the PC and continued with the installation. I can't be sure if getting the phone to Airplane mode did the trick or I got the disconnection timing right, but you don't lose anything trying this.
The update failed shortly after, because of low disk space on the PC (required for the backup). Estimate about 10 free GB's of free disk space on the hdd that you have installed Zune.
I freed some space connected again the phone to Zune and I got the prompt again without trying any disconnection work-around. Proceed to installation. Update to 7043 was successful and was prompted automatically to a new update, the long awaited 7.10.7720.68 Mango. After some steps, I can't recall at what step, I got a message that the update was not successful due to low disk space on the handset this time. I had about 320 MB's free before the update. Any worries for 'brickage', did not arise at all as I booted with the 7403 o/s, which was operatable 100%. At that point fw / radio / bootloader had NOT been updated.
Freed about 250 MB's of phone settings, bringing free space to 570 MB's, and that did the job. I connected to Zune, got prompted for Mango, completed update. Funny thing, that after the Mango update, free space was not lower than 570 MB's, but close to 800 MB's
So, summing up, get your phone to Airplane mode (may or may not help), ~ 8 GB's free on the PC, ~600 MB's free on the phone, and do not worry, very bad luck is required to brick your phone.
I didn't get of a 3rd update, as some have reported, the OEM update, but my firmware / radio / bootloader all have been updated to:
fw: 2424.11.8.5
radio: 2424.11.7.2
bootloader: 5.8.1.9
So, I assume, for those updating from NoDo, the OEM update is included in the Mango update.
Now running Mango, the ui is faster than NoDo, unbelievable. All apps keep on working, except for sideloaded homebrew apps that use native code and most patched OEM apps of other OEM's (but not all of them), all other apps, sideloaded or downloaded from Marketplace, homebrew or not, continue to work. All games still work, I could not spot any performance difference from removing the 30 fps cap.
In the Samsung section of the MarketPlace, or after searching for Samsung Electronics Co.,Ltd., I spotted a lot of new apps, some known, some never heard of. The apps not existent for NoDo are: AllShare (DLNA client), high fidelity position (GPS settings, adding GLONASS support), Mobile Print (I am not sure, maybe existent on NoDo), FunShot, MiniDiary, RSS Times, advanced text messages, Video Call (video calling through your operator 3G, chargeable)
A strange thing is I haven't received any pushed notification from the Marketplace to update any app. I have updated a couple manually without need of uninstall/re-install but not automatic notification whatsoever.
If you get a message saying when attempting to run an app, something like ''Microsoft has invoked the use of this app'', it means that (if you have a Developer unlocked phone) your phone has been locked; you have to repeat the Unlocking proccess with the Windows Phone Developer Registration option of Windows Phone SDK 7.1 tools. However, the maximum apps limit has been as well lowered to 10 apps (or 3 if a student dev), so I can't sideload any app (so no homebrew to assign max apps / or registry editor). Any ideas (other than hardressting and installing assign max apps, or uninstalling apps till u reach below 10 apps)
Tried the same thing multiple times now, no dice. Same as above posts, errors out when disconnected and says updated when connected.
The unbranded UK ROM shouldn't be an issue, should it?
Update: I finally got it to update, using the steps described. It was probably some weirdness with my desktop, which is probably why it only worked on my laptop. The delay needed seems to be about two seconds.

I had to enable updates via 3g network in the phone to get the update message in zune or I always get same errors as you, hope it helps
I would like to remind everyone that not all mobile operators ship mango, so just like in NoDo era (especially Omnia 7's from germany, also some other phones in America) you need to registry unbrand your phone. Start by getting WP7 Root Tools and then change the following in the registry:
Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo] set:
MODeviceName=OMNIA7
MobileOperator=000-88
that should make this trick work if it does'nt work without network pull!

Oh hell, I've got a German Omnia 7 and not seen Mango update.
Where do I get WP7 Root Tools from, and will it work with a normal ROM image ok?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265321 or any other registry edito, but you will need a developer unlocked device (If you already have mango, which also works, you will need the interop unlock, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963)!

tried the network pull so many times, just checked those keys, MobileOperator was empty, i used a debrander from xda. entered 000-88, restart & network pull worked first time, disabled wifi after about 4 mississippis
I didn't get the OEM update how do i get it?
I've unbranded, turned on 3G updating, turned on flight mode, restarted both laptop and phone, and I've disconnected instantly to five seconds.
I guess I'll just wait for the official thing, perhaps the fact that I'm on the RTM is screwing with it?
