Hello! I've read that LG Panther have an update which supports copy/paste, but zune writes me that my phone is up to date (my current build is 7003). I've tried to change a region and tried to sign in using different accounts, but that was hopeless... Any opinion?

I've heard the same thing, and as far as I know, it's not going out via Zune (I've not got it, or seen it on either a Taylor or a Panther). I think we'll just have to wait...
Same here. My zune and phone both don't detect updates.

I think regularly checking the Connect site might be the best option for finding new builds.

The update isn't there yet, but I suspect it'll go there before anywhere else.
i've searched in google about this and understood that zune must flash this update, but it haven't caused. I think a special version of zune exists (not 4.7).

I very much doubt you'll find an update, and I'm even more sceptical that it'll be on Zune. 4.7 is the latest version I know of, there might be some linking to Live IDs, or maybe only some devices/LiveIDs get the update.
Hello All,
I just wanted to chime in and say that I also have a GW910 and it also claims to be 100% up-to-date on version 7.0.7003.0
I just wondered if you lot all think that we will even get the update in 2011 at all.
Also... do any of you know what will happen regarding firmware updates (radio etc)?
I ask because I have a problem here in Luxembourg where my phone loses connection to HTTPS sites after a while. It can still connect to the internet but to anything related to HTTPS (SSL etc).
I know that it isn't a fault with the phone itself (Hardware) because it only happens when I am travelling around and my phone has to change between 3G and Edge quite often. It I stay at home, there is no problem at all.
Comments anyone??

I think we probably will get an update, there's not much point having developer hardware if we're developing on software that's out of date.
Radio updates etc I'm less sure about, my Taylor says the radio is from August, though the OS is much more recent.
That sounds like an issue with the general OS, and it may be being patched anyway, I'd see if you can submit that as a bug (via Connect) or via the on device feedback mechanism (can't remember how to access it, but I remember it being there).
According to this thread http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/77100.aspx, no dev phones will be updated.

You need NoDo in order to get Mango, so no. I still have my Panther, I'm just waiting on the next batch of hardware this fall so I can change over.
I found a copy of the ChevronWP7.Updater and was able to update my pre-release LG GW910 build 7004 to NoDo. After I did that I was able to install Mango beta 2.

Here is how I was able to get Mango installed on my pre-release developer phone (LG GW910).
NOTE: These directions are slightly modified to work as if you were starting from build 7004 (maybe 7003). After I the Chevron update I to install Mango beta 2 but received a 80180048 error. I used the backup that was created to get it back to the state just prior to the Mango update process.
The steps I took starting out with build 7004.
Run the ChevronWP7.Update twice to bring the phone up to build 7390 (NoDo)
Use the "Walshed" Phone support tool to put the device in a state where it can receive official updates - http://blog.walshie.me/walshed-phone-support-tool-official-fix-to-get-you-back-on-track
Be sure to follow the instructions and select ALL of the languages the keyboard supports.
Then following the Mango beta 2 installation instructions.
Mango beta 2 should install without any issues.
IMPORTANT: Uninstalling the Zune software will DELETE your backup. I created a RAR archive of the backup but kept it in the same folder and everything was wiped out.

Hello,
I have tried what you say, but sadly the ChevronWP7.unlocker doesn't seem to work.
I get the Black screen where is asks what language, and whatever I select the screen simply closes.
What OS did you use? Was it a 64bit OS or 32bit OS?
I want to try it again, but at the moment I am stuck.
Thanks
nebc100
P.S. would you be willing to send me a copy of the ChevronWP7.unlocker that you used?
If so PM me, and I will send you my e-mail address.

If you have tried it, disconnect your phone, reboot it, then connect it and wait for Windows to tell you the device has been correctly installed (if that hasn't happened yet). Then try ChevronWP7.Update again.
I used the 64-bit version. I'll find and post the link I used to download the app.

There seems to be a misunderstanding in your communication. It seems as if you had a Panther that already HAD 7004 loaded on to it, which allowed you to updated all the way to post-Nodo.
There is currently no way possible for the Chevron Updater to bring a 7003 Panther up to 7004. Useless Guy even opened up the source code and tried to force the program into update his device and it did not work.

Hi all,
I have a solution for make a chevron functionaly again.
For all, who was a last WP7 update from Microsoft (ZUNE).
Step 1) Restore a phone WP7 OS build. Synchronize phone with Zune - check for updates - than hit the restore button. I have a last update (OS build 7.0.7008 - after restore have OS build 7.0.7004)
Step 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127&page=86
Step 3) Aplly chevron http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938106
Worked perfectly for me on my HTC 7 Trophy.
How do we make chevron functionally again without restoring?
And you said after the restore you had version 7004. But with 7004 you can't install the NoDo update.
I think we should wait for WPDM, it is still in private beta. WPDM is able to unlock the phone without the need of Chevron.
What is wrong with the Chevron tool?
By last update do you mean the pre-Nodo update?
I hard reset my focus then flashed the update through Zune, and used the Chevron tool to unlock again without any issues, side loaded the apps I had prior the update. Is the issue people experiencing only prevalent with HTC phones?
after nodo chevron doesn't work

That is the problem, you can only use Chevron again after a hard reset. I don't want to reset my phone after every small update.
you shouldnt have to.... mine is updated and still unlocked...

Not true. I only reset because I was having issues with Zune and the Zune driver loading on my PC. I was also testing to see if the cert. installed when unlocking was in conflict with the Zune cert. Till this day I cannot get zune running on my desktop but it works absolutely fine on my laptop.

Here also got an issue,
After hard reset on second updated on my htc mozart, chevron still works but can only install 7 apps from deployer, after that always appear an error, i did 2 reset came out with the same result
Sent from my 7 Mozart T8698 using Board Express
I'm having issues as well.
I've installed the cert and deleted developerservices.windows.com a few times now, but when I run Chevron, it keeps on poppingup the error msg of having trouble communicating with the phone.
I don't want to go through another hard reset. That's way too many just to get this phone running.
My original problem was that I couldn't deploy apps anymore, giving me the error that it could not communicate with my phone due to it being locked or zune has not been connected.
Help!!
@alphamale156 did you lock ur phone again after prevent to lock it again with the registry hack? If so no chance u can unlock it again, u must do the harf reset, thats what i did.
Because chevron works fine on hard reset wp last update but got an issue after the chevron works which is on the unlocked phone with the latest update
Any suggestion?

sorry i was confusing you all guys.
I am in USA and have the DVP running 7355. At this time there is no way to get Chevron7 running.
In fact on 7355, I am very limited. No Chevron7 and EM is missing many of the menu item found in earlier versions.

no problemo
I think the problem most of us are having right now is Chevron no longer sees the device. After zune loads I try to launch chevron and it can't even find my phone. As a result my device is now locked and my side loaded apps are deleted as I try to launch them.
Everything worked great up until this weekend. 5 weeks trouble free, now this.
I've reinstalled the cert, I've even redone everything on a clean win 7 machine. No good. I'm convinced that since the zune update something in the phone will not cooperate for chevron or zune stops traffic. Seems like the consensus is to reset the phone and reinstall zune with network cable unplugged.
UPDATE:
I figured I would clear up somethings from my post last night. Originally I had rolled all the way back to pre-nodo to unlock and was really over doing everything.
After unlocking mango on my phone that way I decided to try my girls hd7 by just adding custclear.provxml to the windows directory on nodo while unlocked.
So here the updated step by step. So far its only working on HTC devices.
1. Make sure that you have nodo unlocked and download the latest HTC Connection setup from the MARKETPLACE.
2. Place the CustClear.provxml from this post in the windows directory on the phone. There is a number of ways to do this. I used Windows Phone Device Manager but you could also use the Chevron Ringtone App to get it to the phone and TouchXplorer to move to the windows directory. Or Remote Suite, etc. Included in the provxml is developer unlock, max apps, and prevent relock.
3. Update to mango.
4. As soon as mango starts run HTC Connection setup. And your unlocked.
Ive had mine unlocked since last night and hasnt relocked itself. Ive synced with zune several times, Sideloaded over 10 xaps and everything is going great.
So thats the short version of it. Had a good feeling it would work without going all the way back to pre-nodo. So if youve already upgraded to mango you can just restore your unlocked nodo and restart.
Im glad I got to help out the community. Im in no way a genius when it comes to this stuff though I wouldnt say Im in the dark. Just put the old regedit trick to work.
If I helped you please hit the Thanks button.

Currently sideloading them right now. All work so far except advanced config. But that has to do with mango itself.
Ive connected to zune multiple times to sync music...Only thing Im doing a little different is instead of zune I use wpconnect to sideload app.. its just quicker.
Still unlocked... Im over 10 xaps already so Im pretty sure the limit also stuck.
Other than known problems with any app that accesses parts of the file system on mango...I dont remember the specifics but touchxplorer probably wont work either though I havent sideloaded that one yet to confirm.
So far its holding.
EDIT: TouchXplorer does work. But TouchXperience does not. So no WPDM.

Actually yah. Didnt even think about that since I always just uninstall that after I use it. Uninstalled it on pre-nodo if it matters.
Only thing I had on the phone when I upgraded to mango was all the basic stuff that comes with the phone originally and HTC connection setup downloaded from the market while on nodo..thats it.
Alright, im gonna give it a try and see if works
Now i gotta wait 2 hours again for the update

I did it a total of 3 times. Second time like an idiot I forgot to apply the prevent relock after I installed it.
Probably dont have to go all the way back to pre-nodo if you havent installed mango yet and have it unlocked already or if you wanna just do a restore through zune. Pretty sure youd just have to make sure the the custclear.provxml is in the windows folder before you update to mango. Im gonna give this a shot with my girls phone when I get some more time..
So far no problems at all. Only app I installed that didnt work was advanced config and TouchXperience.
Now I try, do not know can not succeed

Awesome was waiting for a confirmation. Did you have to go all the way back to pre-nodo or did you try with nodo unlocked?
Most of what I did probably was unnecessary but I wanted to be thorough so I didnt have to do it again. Most likely can have sideloaded apps on the phone when updated to mango just wont run until you run HTC connection setup with that custclear.provxml
reeg420 said:
I just tested this on my hd7 and worked flawlessly.
I did the normal pre-nodo chevron unlock.
Install the prevent relock xap. After running uninstall it.
Updated to nodo via zune.
Then I installed HTC Connection Setup from the marketplace..(dont sideload it).
Ran it once.
Then I made a custclear.provxml with developer unlock, max unsigned app, and prevent relock. I set the attributes to read only on my PC. Then copied that to the windows folder via Windows Phone Device Manager.
Then I uninstalled TouchExplorer from the phone. Just to make sure there wasnt any sideloaded apps on there before I updated to mango.
Updated to mango by the bat files from windowsphonehacker blog.
Then I ran connection setup and voila unlocked.
I attached the file I made to help people out.
Im gonna redo this post just wanted to get it out there.

Yup im assuming as long as the custclear.provxml file is in the windows directory while on nodo.. And HTC connection setup has been downloaded from the market also on nodo then after you upgrade to mango that file will be right where HTC connection setup will read it.
Im testing this way right now on my girls hd7. I'll report back.

Can confirm that you can just put the provxml file in the windows folder on an unlocked nodo with sideloaded apps etc... Make sure connection setup is downloaded from the market and upgrade to mango. Then run connection setup first. Then all the sideloaded apps work fine. Didnt uninstall anything.
Vanilla Take-Off -> NoDo 7392 Unlocked -> MangoB2 7712 -> Awaiting Mango Final!
Hello XDA!
I am a new owner of a HD7 now. It's a T9292 Model. And here is the details sheet:
OS: v7.0.7392.0
FW: v2250.21.30102.707 (Was: v2250.09.16901.707)
Hardware Rev: 0002
Radio (Software): 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U (Was: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U)
Radio (Hardware): A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 3.1.2250.0 (119314) (Was: 1.69.2250.0(117833))
Chip SOC: 2.2.5.0
It's original and allows SIMs from Pakistan to work. Got it from a HTC store here. I have been struggling with the stickies for WP7 but it's NOT like what it was for HTC Kaiser and HTC TyTN II in the glory days.
I'm not really interested in new custom ROMs. I develop on .NET and that's why I got this mobile. Things is, I'll be trying to publish my apps through YallaApps.com as Pakistan is not supported over at AppHub. I need to update to the latest Mango and start developing until there is hope for us devs here.
Point me to where I should start and I'll proceed from there OK. Provided, if there is such a solution for my HD7.
I'm interested in upgrading to the latest Mango and be able to develop with Visual Studio and deploy on device to test.
Regards
Take a look at Updating to Mango threads, there is also hacked file that enables updating to mango on phones that have no Chevron unlock.
Your OS version is 7.0.7392 [nodo] so if u don't have dev unlock.
U must go back to older version by flashing rom.here
And get to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344 and pass all how to.
if u do all that u will done unlock,pervent relock,update to nodo,prepare to update mango,update mango and get unlock back.
a goal of all step is getting unlock without dev unlock in mango.
And u will can deploy ur app.
Ouch!
I was afraid of that...
So lets see...
Firmware dictates that I need to download ROM CV #707. I have chosen this: BR: RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.57.707.02_Radio_5.52.0 9.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar
Now, that's a branded ROM so I just need to run it. Right? Also, is it "old" enough for me to proceed?
After that, I believe I'm to follow this step:
NoDo Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7004 to OS February 2011 update and 7392 NoDo
which is very well written and explained.
And lastly, I shall proceed to MangoB2 Update Guide: How To Pass ChevronWP7 from OS 7392 [NoDo] to OS 7403 and 7712
Right! I have downloaded all the packages and printed the threads.
I need to know if these point make any issue:
I already have a fully updated Zune installed
I downloaded Windows Phone Backup v1.6
Another question: There is only one PKS file available here. I'm using that. Also, where are the backups saved? I need to redundant them to a network share just in case for a rainy day.
Hmmm. BR: RUU_Schubert_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.57.707.02_Radio_5.52.0 9.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar is not working for me. It always ends at "ERROR 260 CONNECTION"

Thanks a million buddy. I was wandering around that folder but you nailed it for me.
Oh boy... I think I'm getting the error because my HD7 is not really Branded by anyone. It's just HTC HD7... no T-Mobile etc. I was trying the wrong ROM. Now I needed unbranded and that thread is under maintenance by Ansar. I wonder which ROM i should download from there? ... Progress Halted for now
Umm.
I think ur hd7 is branded by HTC Asia like me.
If u flash wrong brand rom. It will tell u on phone.
ERROR 260 CONNECTION not look like be rom problem.
Make sure u boot in to 3 color mode and ur computer install driver for that mode correctly before start flashing.
Unbranded rom is for flash crossing zone of device.

Okay. all went well. I saw the latest numbers in About. MangoB2 done. BUT, i took a backup and after the backup was complete, the WP7 Backup utility told me to disconnect o that the pone reboots... that never happened... phone is stuck now... if it use the power button, it reboots and comes back to the connect to PC screen. upon connecting, nothing happens. if i run Zune, it alerts me to restore to a earlier point.
What am I to do?
Okay... so after a while of fear.... I decided to let Zune restore. I took proper backups after every stage. So I restored to the point where I just installed MangoB2 7712. It worked. Restore was successful and HD7 is OK.
Question: Now it'd unlocked and freely accessing internet, how do I prevent a re-lock?
In other news: Zune just said it has an update for itself and crashed while trying to install complaining about a component failure...
Observations: If I take backup using WP7 Backup, my device hangs after I disconnect cable and I have to restore again as it is stuck in a loop
Prevent re-lock is done edit registry by using CustClear.provxml .(if not prevent it will relock everytime u connect to Zune.)
About Zune after u using mango beta u should install zune beta too.
About backup I don't know the solution.i had to restore too

Can you point me to the thread? I found a thread last night that mentioned the use of a registry editor for WP7. But I do know that No RegEdit is working with Mango B2 ATM. So CustClear.provxml is the way to go.

My Zune keeps saying an update is found and installs it immediately just to repeat the same cycle. Where is the direct link to the full Beta offline setup?

Hi All,
I had purchased T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) with Stock android 4.3 while I was in usa, and want to use it in my home country now as I have left usa. I couldn't found any unlock solution on internet for stock android 4.3, and T-Mobile would not give me the unlock code. I tried third party services to provide unlock code and it did not work either. So I went to a local shop, and he screwed everything up. When I went back to the local shop to receive my phone (hoping it might have been definitely unlocked by them), he told me that he tried to downgrade it to 4.2.2 but it did not work (only after reading through all the forums I realize there is no way to go back to stock 4.2.2 if you are on stock 4.3 because of knox / bootloader issues on 4.3, leads me to think the shopowner did not really do his research before touching my phone, and no, he did not do any EFS backup). In an attempt to unlock my phone, he also flashed Metro PCS stock ROM on my phone, not to mention, my IMEI number is also 'Unknown' now. I managed to get back on T-Mobile stock 4.3 ROM now but still IMEI is unknown. I also tried to go to nearest Samsung center and they said they would not touch international phone models. At this point I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions how to get back my IMEI and or at the least to get the phone working to my country's network?
Thanks.
Try flashing the mk2 modem using odin. That may work but not sure.

Hi sd_N, is it possible for you to provide me the link in private so I can just restore my original imei. I will then try fastgsm.com to unlock as you suggested. Thanks.
Anyone?

The local shop broke it. Tell them to pay for it.
Also, the only reason T Mobile won't give you an unlock code is if the phone isn't paid for in full. If the phone is paid for in full, they HAVE to give you the unlock code.
Are you sure you didn't buy the phone in the US, then leave the country without paying the bill so you could use the phone internationally without paying full price? If not, there is no reason T Mobile wouldn't give you the unlock code. So there's some missing information in this story.
Also, we do not discuss how to change IMEI's on XDA. The only thing permissable on XDA about flashing IMEI's is restoring YOUR OWN IMEI from a backup. That is done by restoring the EFS partition. But you didn't have a back up so you can't do that. That means anyway to fix your IMEI involves what is an illegal hack and that discussion is expressly not permitted on XDA. That information is used for illegal purposes and XDA is not going to be the place where it's shared for legal reasons.

Hi skipjacks, thanks for responding. Nothing is pending with t-mobile, I was on prepaid account. I bought the phone like 10 days before leaving usa (due to emergency). T-mobile says my number on this new device should have being working for at least 45 days or so with refill balance. My cycle ended after 15 days of purchase and I really didnt see any reason to refill it as I was no more in usa. And no, I dont want to CHANGE my IMEI, only want to restore my own IMEI only. I am not sure if my EFS partition is corrupted, because I rooted my phone tried to backup EFS folder now (I know its too late but still), deleted it and rebooted (as a few threads suggested it would regenerate nv data files), but neither did I see any nv files when I did a back up now, nor after I rebooted. When I rebooted, the EFS folder did regenerate but there were no nv files in there. Also, after deleting EFS and regeneration the serial number was corrupted, but when I restored my backup, the serial number showed up correctly again. Also my current backup contains the imei folder with mps.code_bat file. I noticed that even imei folder was not regenerated on deletion of EFS and reboot. I somehow have the feeling that this is still indicating that my original EFS folder is still present (though I may be wrong, because I dont know). But my concern is the nv data files, which I dont see anywhere. I did come across several threads about imei corruption and restoration, but the only one I didnt come across was T-mobile SGH-M919 with stock android 4.3. I am wondering if this has some different file storage structure for imei (which again I dont know). At this point I am concerned about getting back my imei, I can get the unlock code from some reputed paid service again. I understand that open discussion about imei involving anything CHANGING IMEI is not allowed here. If anyone could just help me out restoring my original imei, even by pm, I would really appreciate it. I just dont want to throw away the phone and lose my money because of the error done by repair shop.

First off....the enter key is your friend. Hit it every so often when typing giant blocks of text like that. :laugh:
Second, since your IMEI has been deleted, you now have to change it, even if you just want to change it back to what it was before. The process to fix it now is what can't be discussed here.
IF you had backed up your EFS partition, then it would be as simple as restoring it in recovery. That's all well and good. But your IMEI is now 0, so you have to change it to what it was.
But all that aside, you went to a store and they broke it. Take it back there and raise holy hell until they fix it for you or buy you a new one. I know consumer protections are stronger in some countries than others, but wherever you are, yelling and screaming is a universal language.

Can someone at least tell me what file in T-Mobile Galaxy S4 SGH-M919 Stock Android 4.3 contains imei number, so at least I know if I even have that file or not or whether it is missing? Thanks.

Whether your file is missing, modified, or corrupted, you need your /efs folder to restore it. You do not have have a nandroid backup or the /efs folder. I am sorry but the simplest we can put it without sounding harsh, you're screwed. You need to request the local shop give you a replacement phone or credit to get a new one.
Update: I went back to the shop and told them "You broke it, you fix it, I don't know how and I don't care, you gotta fix it". They managed to fix the imei number somehow. Regarding unlock, the shop ended buying the unlock code themselves. They mentioned that no one is able to unlock T-Mobile S4 with Stock 4.3 as of now without unlock code, unless they have some device like Z3x box. The phone is finally unlocked and working fine on my network. (YES, A HUGE HUGE RELIEF).
Everything is fine, except for 2 issues.
1. I want to backup my EFS folder so that I don't enter into trouble with IMEI again. I tried EFS Pro, but its not working. All I see is "'Initializing ADB server..." (the phone is rooted, usb debugging mode enabled, and supersu permission granted when prompted). I also tried to backup using Andromizer, but it says "Notification: File not found in /storage/emulated/0/Amdromizer/efs/efs.img". What is my best option as of now to backup and store my imei safely somewhere?
2. I am having issues with Wi-Fi. Before the shop flashed my phone, it was all good, but now it doesn't auto-connect to my home Wi-Fi anymore. Everytime I reboot or get out of range, I have to manually select my home network everytime and also enter the password everytime. Nothing has changed on my router. The other Samsung device that I have still auto-connects to my home Wi-Fi as usual. How can I fix this?
Thanks.

For the efs you can back it up using recovery. Just boot to recovery and its one of the options in the backup menu. The resulting file will be like a few KB. Its supposed to be small. Dont worry
