Mango Update. Files please ????

User hd2leo_fusion post in another thread...
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 ???

OK...please can you report back if you did made the update with out any prob ???

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!!!

Help with my Default.XML

After flashing TWRP and Venom3.0 I started testing the various ROMs. Of course I was on a very small 8GB Micro after my SanDisk 64GB went corrupt (3years and a few washing machine and drier cycles) and made a newb move. Didn't think to save a backup pre/post unlock to the internal and just copy it onto my PC.
It wasn't until the next day that I realized I wasn't receiving calls. The phone would ring on the callers end but my phone would stay unaffected unless a vm was sent. I searched in the m9 and then overall xda for a solution to no avail. Once I used Gsearch with more vague terms I was only able to find one thread from a few years back when voice over LTE must have been kinda new.
Someone had the exact same problem, described my situation exactly and the fix proposed worked for the guy.
It was to modify the default.XML in system/customize/ACC
I switched all the "voLTExxx" values to "true" as they were all "false" and now callers are directed straight to vm. Im still completely unaffected in my phone abilities so I know I was close. All this is after I switched the the ATT dev edition ROM found here on XDA in one of the M9 stickeys.
Im thinking maybe someone with the same setup could upload their XML file that is working so I can check if it was that? Maybe that won't work but you know what will? Thanks guys.

Im seeing someone else posted just a few minutes ago and turning off LTE works. That is not a solution in my opinion and was the failsafe on the original post I read.

The dev edition (617) ruu won't fix the issue. As far as voLte is concerned, it's basically the same as running a custom rom in that you can still be affected by the issue and you can't disable Ehanced (or HD) Voice in the rom (this is tied to your sim and not the rom, I think).
Currently, this is the best solution, I think...flash an att RUU (502 - either 1.32 or 2.6, it doesn't really matter) . Then go into Mobile network settings, and disable Enhanced Voice. Once this is disabled in stock ATT rom, you can flash a custom rom and that setting should stick.
Alternatively, you might try getting on with ATT support to see if they can disable that setting on their end.

Okay. Maybe post this to the thread from 8hrs ago because some of them are having the same issue. Ill get back when I try that, I am on 1.32 currently.

Quick questions before I proceed.

1.Why do you think it this doesn't work after I unlocked? What I mean is, with that value set to true, and everything works fine; what is in the flash that doesn't allow HD Voice?

2. I'm currently on 1.32 and I don't see that option anywhere despite being on this ROM. Which is now clear that it isn't the same thing as this RUU? I'm downloading the 2.6 RUU from HTC's website and will flash it as per their instructions (Thanks for the link by the way:highfive
3.Should I re-edit my XML file before the flash or is this RUU going to take care of that?

it didn't have anything to do with unlocking. You have voLte enabled for your att account and you're in an area that supports voLte, but you're running a rom that doesn't.
This is just my current theory. We'll see if it works for you.
I don't know what it will take for a custom rom to support voLte.
I didn't include a link because I thought it would be easy enough to find, but I guess most people here complain if they're not spoon fed.
Um...credit the source of the info or just link to my post. Don't just copy and paste as your own.
Anyway...carry on and please report back if it works for you.
Edit: oh, and forget the default.xml file. It's probably fine as is. I assume you got that from my post from a couple of months ago. I don't think that was the problem.

I'm stuck at the RUU actually, I have AV off and the install shield wizard loads up, flashed a few windows then shuts down. Sync is still installed, I've restarted my PC, ran as admin.
Do you know if HTC released that as a flashable .zip? I hate doing anything to my phone through my PC because it creates another variable to go wrong.

I don't think there's a zip yet. I've had that happen a few times with ruu. Once it was antivirus. Another time or two it was a bad download.

Wowwwwww was that an adventure.
Re-downloaded the ATT RUU and updating (bad download first time)
Disabled "HD Voice" under the mobile settings (easiest part of the whole show)
re-flashed TWRP (Ran into a million windows problems, had to perform clean windows install)
Flashed the same custom ROM I had before
Calls came through, everything working great.
Thanks again Jolly!!!!! I would be stuck with twitter eating 11% of my battery usage despite me not having a twitter account

Can anybody confirm a root for A5CN701?

I've been waiting for ages for a root for A5CN701, yet no one has even tried to figure it out
I've also found a lot of posts showing how to downgrade to 5.0 but no one has made a detailed instruction and confirmed that it works!
Seriously, i've been dying for a method to root!
Anyone has any idea, please share at this topic! Much appreciated!

I'm in the same situation as you. I have been waiting for root too or the instructions how to downgrade to previous version.
This is by far the best Android tablet that I have ever used (previosly had Nexus 7 2013) and when you take it to hand and start use it you immediately feel what the quality means.

Nothing to contact - just download their .apk and run it. You need a wi-fi connection while it's trying to root.

Assuming your downloaded .apk isn't corrupted (try downloading it again), you need to install the .apk (as opposed to "running" it). I assume you tried to install it, but I'm just covering the bases. Perhaps Lolipop has a security feature that prevents Kingroot from installing? (Although Kingroot says it works w/ 5.0.) And I presume you have allowed "unknown sources" to install under Settings > Security?

Sorry to hear it didn't work. That, and the lack of ext SD, have convinced me to buy an Asus Zenpad S 8 instead. Cheaper too!

Lock Screen Missing Features

Hello everyone. I have recently discovered that my LG G3 (32 GB model, running Android 5.0) has some missing features in the lock screen. The "None" feature which disables the lock screen completely was missing but for some reason it showed up when I deleted the Guest in my phone. I also know from various photos on the internet that the LG G3 has a function where you can unlock your phone by letting it recognise your face. This "Face Recognition" feature is also missing and I haven't managed to find a way to get it back. Can someone help me?

Face Recognition is removed from most of phones nowadays,because easily somebody else can unlock your phone with his face..
And as I've seen some companies are developing this feature.
For the "none" i think in 5.0 LG removed it.(I'm not really sure about that)well you can use "swipe" for now.
Also why don't you upgrade to 6.0?It has the "None" for the lock screen and also it has really great performance!

Yeah well I've tried to upgrade it to Marshmallow but I don't know how. I tried LG pc suite but that didn't work. Do you know how to do it?

No there is no need to Root your device.Only follow the guide that i made.

Okay! Now that I got back my computer I can do it. I just have one more question. My phone will be updated by installing custom roms? Will that wipe off my phone's guarantee? Because it lasts for two more years and I don't want to lose it now.

Is there a way to unlock a SAMSUNG ATIV SE running WIndows 10 mobile 10.0.10563.297

The reason I am asking is I am trying to get the SAMSUNG ATIV SE to the current version that I am running on my ICON 10.0.15254.527. I am trying to see if staying with the ICON is the way to go. I am running into the error 0x80070273 when trying to update to the next version of windows 10 mobile. I saw where the apparent problem is with the OEMInput.xml file and saw on another thread that replacing it with the supplied code in that thread should get you past the update error. I have installed Interop tool app version: 2.0.79.0 on the SAMSUNG and have turned on the Restore NDTKSvc to access the files through my USB on my desktop. I can see the file on my phone thought windows explorer on my desktop but I can't remove or replace the file. Any help or guidance would be appreciated. I am guessing that what I am trying just won't work, but I thought I would ask some people that are smarter than me. Again thanks for the help in advance...

This updating thing is getting old... Just spoof the device to a supported one and voila. Change the devicetargetinginfo to a microsoft lumia with similar specs as yours and done.

That won't get you past the error that I mentioned in the original post

@malacarr1962
You are trying to edit a file in a directory other than Public? Then yes you need to interop unlock the Ativ SE.
To unlock the Ativ SE on W10M, you need to make sure you followed all the steps on guss33000 thread for his IT app. The section of focus is "For all other OEM devices". What steps have you completed already?

Well, I have already installed the Interop Tools 2.0.96.0. As far as the Interop Unlock, all the options are set to off (if I try to move one of them from you can slide it over which assumably would turn the option on, but as soon as you release it the switches moves back to its' original location. SO if I have missed something and you could tell me where I need to go to follow the instructions, that would be appreciated. If I need to hard rest or start back at 8.1 and go from there that is ok too...

Please go read the Interop Tools thread here
If you still can't figure it out you're better off posting your questions in there.
