This download contains four files that you will need to update your retail Windows Phone device to the 'Mango' Beta 2 pre-release build.
MangoB2-ZuneClient.zip - ZIP file that contains the install for the pre-release Zune Client 4.8, required to update your Windows Phone retail device and to connect to your device from the Windows Phone SDK tools.
MangoB2-UpdateWP.zip - ZIP that contains the install program(s) that will install updatewp.exe into your Zune client, allowing you to update your Windows Phone to point to the test servers
MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.zip - Tool that automates the backup and update process so that your retail phone can receive ‘Mango'
Update Instructions - Mango Beta 2 for WPDevs.pdf - Instructions to walk you through the update process. 15 minutes here can save you 4 weeks without a phone.
Finally, one last reminder about reading the instrctions:
Please read the instructions document fully and carefully before you update your retail device. Not properly following these instructions can place your personal phone in an unusable state. Microsoft is unable to assist developers who ‘bricked’ their phone because an instruction step was skimmed or skipped.

Hi all
It looks like those 4 files are the files you need to perform the update !!!!!!
MangoB2-ZuneClient.zip
MangoB2-UpdateWP.zip
MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.zip
Mango Beta 2 for WPDevs.pdf
And from what i read are device indepented ...so guys ...
Can any one with dev account post those files here please???
Good luck with this. Considering [registered] developers are only allowed to install Mango on a single device I somehow doubt you'll be able to install it as a non-dev just by patching your Zune install.
It's easy like that?
I'm giving it a shot. I have the files, going to see if it works.
I sure hope it does.
P.S. I was sworn to not share the files though. Gotta find ur own
I'll try to search them, too. But if I found them I'll post them here.
Edit: Google doesn't help =/ Seems like nobody has uploaded them, yet.
At least, can you tell us if it worked for you?

I did not say that it will work 100% ...The files are just to patch the zune and send it to find the update in the MS servers ...
Dont forget that register devs are limited to unlock only 1 device ...and all of them have more than one unlocked...
Maybe this will work, for everyone ... maybe ...else why are those files hiden to general public ???

So far so good, installed the "pre-mango" update, no hicups yet.
The only confirmation it has so far is to confirm you have a dev unlocked phone. No dev unlock phone, no update.

Read a few posts up. They aren't my files to share, I'm sure they'll be leaked out eventually, but I'm not going to screw a friend over who gave me them if there is some sort of hidden tracking.
I'll report the progress, but no files.
P.S. seems this update is going to take at least an hour. I'll post back when it finishes. Also, from start to where I am now, it's been pretty painless. And NO i don't have the Beta 2 tools installed, so it apparently works without them, despite what the document says.
Ah, ops, sorry. Okay then.
At least we will know if this will work to everyone when leaked.
Is it official and confirmed that each developer can only update one out of his three devices?

The documents say that in order to DEPLOY anything on your Mango updated device you need the B2 SDK

I planned on having them installed eitherway, just that the excitement overcame my ability to remember longer than 20 seconds to install them before kicking off the update lol.
So far still in updating mode... Been about 30 minutes i think, document says 70.
Phone just reset itself, looking at the bug list, it an take 5-45 minutes to restart, we'll see. Hopefully we're done soon.
"Not for resale" written on the Windows Phone boot screen. And we're live!!!

One of my friends bought a new HD7 with SPL 5
This method didn't work with him
I don't know does this method need Official Chevron before applying it?
I installed WPE, run it and did all follow the instruction, but nothing happened...

what happened to him? bricked? or UpdateWP refuses to update? i think it should work, because we're only targeting 4.5 cab when downgrading to nodo & re-upgrading to mango, so, if we can have the cab, why should we revert to nodo? just waste of time
no, this method doesn't need chevron unlock, because, it's all official cab

do you extract all the things in the package? becuase, sometimes, "nothing happen" issue happened if you missed \Package folder or, check your device usb connection.

ok, there you go, you can use new wpe special attached on first post, that should fix your problem, or, you can apply it manually if you got sick & tired with this kind of error

I did again and nothing happened... So I guess I must wait for others to feedback and reports.

I've got an hd7 7740 with the HTC update and trying this method didn't wok for me. Said it couldn't update with the cab. It might work with 7720 before the HTC update. Oh and my phone is developer unlocked.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
what is the difference between wpe and the 2 hotfix?what is the hotfix for?
Thread starter updated his tools, s does it work now ?
It is the knock code update
Edit: I should probably include a link..

Got the update an hour ago. Im on zvc stock rooted so ill have to wait for the awesome devs to post it here.
awwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaaa finally we need this thanks for the info
And I'm assuming there's no wifi calling since it's not even mentioned?
Anyone captured the OTA update?
Has anyone released the ZVD radio yet?
I'm just waiting for someone to take the OTA and do a ROOTED BACKUP, and then put it on XDA....!
I'M NOT TRYING TO LOSE "ROOT" FOR KNOCK CODE.
From my Sprint Spark LG G2...!

I'd be happy to. My device shows the update is downloaded and waiting for install.
Point me in the right direction and I'll post it up.
you can just download it and dont reboot, should be in the cache folder in root.
The software update, which brings it up to Sprint’s version ZVD, also includes a new icon for HD Voice (something that’s being added to other devices as well), a patch for Google, and an updated email signature. Owners will also see improvements for group messaging.

From my phone, without using a PC, how do I get it from that folder to Dropbox or another file sharing Avenue?
use a root explorer to copy it to an sdcard then use dropbox app to upload it there.
I accepted the zvd update about an hour ago and lost root.
ioroot25 works with the zvd update.
I like how there is no WiFi calling.... especially with the crappy network and occasional issues with the Airave, you would think they would enable it for the G2 already, but no.:crying:

Update:
It was 4.6.3 - 620, I just never got it 3 months ago LOL
Hey guys,
I'm just getting prompted to install an update on my phone but it doesn't says which version, I'm assuming it is 4.6.4 because it says it will reboot to install update (and I'm on 4.6.3), if it were an apk update it wouldn't even prompt me..
Question, how do I pull the update file before updating? Does anyone received this update too? Any changes?
Bump
I doubt it will be 4.6.4 as that build was updated to 4.6.5 on AT&T so why would they give it to us?
I just tried to update and didn't get anything, take a leap of faith...update and let us know what you get !

Use any (root) file explorer and check the internal storage root folder, if it's not there, check the download folder, or let the file explorer search for big files on that partition.
I guess more people will report back soon, since they just started rolling out the update.
Details of the changes are not known yet, I assume it will include most of the "improvements" that we saw on the 4.6.5 AT&T variant.

He said, he assumes it's 4.6.4. Don't post misleading infos if you don't know about the details of software versioning on different variants of Fire OS.
Alright, alright, alright... I was focusing too much on the AT&T remark and I thought: here we go again with someone confusing builds / variants but I didn't mean it in a condescending way... *****. :laugh:

I didn't post saying yeah they are releasing this or that , I was questioning his assumption nothing more.
I've been in the forum world "cars mainly" for sometime so I wouldn't confirm on anything unless I know it for sure
Ok so it was not 4.6.4
I'm trying to upload a picture but don't know of a good service, imageshack seems not working for me.
Previous OS was: 4.6.3 (463001420)
New OS is: 4.6.3 (463001620) *rootable, strapable, flashable
So it upgraded inside my pocket, so it is unclear to me if it rebooted or not, but I can tell it was a huge file since it took a couple minutes.
There is also a bunch of APK updates waiting, but that I don't care. No visible changes, probably under the hood tricks to further lock this device.

Oh boy, it never gets boring around here. The ...620 version was back from August (~ 22nd, I believe), it contained the 2nd round of stagefright patches. Maybe change the thread title to avoid annoyed users. ^^

If you are con 4G, thats's why, it only happened when I connected to WiFi...
I don't know if i'm posting in the right section, but needless to say i'm trying to root my T-mobile LG G4, I'm following the guide on XDA, it says to download the tar.gz file, which I did, then it says to extract it, which I did..but the file name stays the same, and in the guide it says that if you don't get the "system.rooted.phonemodel.img" then you didn't extract it properly..But to the best of my knowledge there is only one way to extract a file..I'm using z-zip, I extract the file, it's like 4.6gb which sounds about right but the file name is wrong..I'm totally lost and really want to root my phone, I've rooted several others before so this isn't new to me, but i'm currently having problems rooting my g4. Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated..Thanks in advance.
Also here's the guide I'm "trying" to follow.
