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?

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.

Thanks for the updates m8....keep them coming until you finish the update
Simply follow the instructions included with the PDF, but instead of running MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe, run this file.
Everything else is exactly the same. No need to run MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe aftewards.
No dev unlock required, no Zune check, no WP Dev SDK check.

You still have to follow the rest of the steps. One of the steps is to run the appropriate version of MangoB2-UpdateWP-....exe! That puts the UpdateWP.exe file in the right location (Zune folder in Program Files)

I got the Mango Beta update invitation and I downloaded it and installed it the thing is my account is not fully activated so I can not unlock it officially. When I updated the device to the Mango Beta I lost my Chevron unlock... So its kind of problem... You will not be able to sideload apps with out a fully activated dev account... I know that Chevron labs is coming out soon but we shouldnt have to pay for something like this... Does anyone know what I/everyone else can do so we can sideload apps without having to use the official MS way or the Chevron labs way?
It works!
FIrst it install build 7401 and then upgrade to 7661.

One warning I will say, make sure you SAVE the backup it makes, there is no upgrade path from Beta Mango to RTM. You need to revert to the backup before an upgrade path to Mango RTM.

I suspect we're going to see a lot of kids crying, because they didn't read the documentation.
Mhhh,
I just played to get the Betaupdate. I think infact of the chevronwp7 I got an error while updating to Mango.
Anybody else in this club?

i think he is talking about the pdf contained in the downloadpackage for developers.
there are 4 parts
update documentation
zune prerelease
zune update
and the MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe
you have to install the zune client and update. afterwards you can use the cracked MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate.exe to bring mango on your phone.

Version 3 released! Check for even more simplicity and a new UI! NO more copying!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're experiencing errors, please report them either in the thread or PM me.
Please report ANY errors or typos you come across, I made this in 4 hours without a single break, so there's bound to be an error somewhere
What's new:
-Completely rewritten (ACTUALLY written, not VB)
-Even simpler! NO MORE COPYING!
-Even smaller in disk size!
-No tutorial needed! Yes, it's that easy -- just read carefully and don't panic
There's still no way to:
-relock the bootloader
-flash FTF files
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Note: Inside the Fastboot.rar, there are fastboot drivers for 2012 Xperias. Install them if you dont have them yet. Those are the only useful files you need from that folder, everything else (both adb and fastboot) are already contained in the new BU.zip!
TESTING:
Reported working Windows versions:
Windows 7 x86
Windows 7 x64
Windows Vista x86
WANT TO HELP?
Then test it and report your phone model and windows version (x64/x86, service pack etc.) -- send me a PM
Please do... You can always flash a kernel or recovery.
Thanks for helping me and all those noobs out
About the attachments:
-Fastboot; contains adb and fastboot, plus Xperia 2012 Windows drivers
-BootloaderUnlock; contains the old PMFT - version 2 (kind of useless unless you understand everything it says in there)
-nexus; the NEW PMFT - version 3 -- if you already have the drivers, this is all you need
someone755 said:
I've been getting some questions on PM lately, about 'how to unlock my bootloader'...
So, fed up with those infinite PMs, I quickly put this together (30 minutes, not much).
It's not much, and I've only tested it for one minute, but it should help the average noob user get their bootloader unlocked.
(I've only tested this on a x86 Win7 PC, so please help me find out where this works on.)
So, the basic idea is, that the noob user extracts the attached adb and fastboot .zip file and extracts it to disk C: (I'll make options for other drives later on, I just need to know whether or not this works). The user then opens up the program inside BootloaderUnlock (and installs it), and, after many warnings, gets to a screen where he is told to input his Bootloader unlock code (obtained from Sony's website).
The program then warns the user a little more, just to make sure he understands, and then, two lines of text show up.
The user enters those lines of text into the console window (the fastboot.exe he extracted at the beginning) and Viola!
If all steps have been done correctly, he now has an unlocked bootloader
It's a simple, yet fool-proof concept, tested on a complete phone moron (after reading some instructions on Sony's unlock site).
Please help me test this, as this may be really helpful to those that don't understand FlashTool and don't have an idea how to do it via the official method.
Also, if you don't understand, there are some instructions within the program (written in VB, so you may need NET framework... MAY need it...)
Thanks for helping me and all those noobs out
Note: extract the fastboot.rar to C:, so you will have the fastboot.exe in C:\Fastboot\fastboot.exe
Note: Inside the Fastboot.rar, there are fastboot drivers for Xperias. Install then if you dont have them yet.
Note: The BootloaderUnlock.rar is a visual basic program. Please help me test it on different Windows systems (XP, Vista, 7, 8, 2000; all both x86 and x64)

No it wouldn't. It'll either work or not
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
Yeah, it's actually the same as Sony's way, this program just tells the user what to write into the CMD window.
You can't brick your phone with this, because it either suceeds or fails. Either gain or no gain (and no loss) for the user...

i think he was referring to:
IF you are so beginner that you aren't able to even unlock your bootloader
THEN you could be so newbie to brick it
That's possible, if you're pointing to the fact they could brick their phone after unlocking the bootloader.
But before the unlock, no, it wouldn't be possible...
But hey, some people might have trouble with windows and are new to it. (I know many linux users that are forced to use windows for their phones that could use tools like this for their phones (not Sony, but others...)...)
So can this way unlock any bootloader even if it says bootloader locked? Thanks
Sent from my LT28i using xda app-developers app
Nope.
Did you not read the first post?
It's the same as the official method, but simplified...
Nothing's changed, basically, so it can't do more and it can't do less!
Ok thanks just dont understand why they sell ones that can and others you cant unlock oh well

It's because companies like AT&T give locked down phones away for free with a service contract. That way they can lock some services to make you pay more. For example AT&T makes you pay an additional monthly fee for the use of tethering (only when you use the att stock Rom, it's free on generic version )
From Jaramie's LT28at
2012Xperia SOFT-BRICK Recovery Thread
So I guess it's great in my country;
you don't get a 'free' phone, you pay at least 1€ (depending on the plan you chose; I chose the one where I get to pay 370€ for a nozomi)
You can always trade your phone on Swappa (you have loads of ads on CM's sites and forums) and get an unlockable one...
what is the difference between this tool and this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794800
This one, you can't flash things with, and you don't need a ton of downloads...
Yours is actually a program that uses FlashTool... It has flashtool included in the libs, which means:
1. You download the program AND the giant FlashTool
2. It can flash FTF, IMG and SIN files (because this is flashtool after all...)
I came up with my method for people with bad internet and limited storage...
It actually is the official method, but with a "paste-press-copy-paste" procedure, although the main idea is about the same as all the others...
Basically, every method is based on the official way, but there's a bit of variation here and there...

Let the Noob try it !!
Hey Guys,
I am a Noob and have been trying to unlock my bootloader for about a week now, I have tried a few methods without any joy.
I will give this a go and will report back if it works or not. :laugh:
Your problem might be one of these, if it doesn't work:
1. Your phone is not in fastboot mode -- did you check that?
2. You don't have the right drivers installed on your PC -- or do you?
3. Your phone's bootloader may not be unlockable -- now, if you didn't check that, you really are a noob.
4. Your unlock code is incorrect -- that was the case with me, but in the end that was the only problem...

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, the problem i have is with the drivers. I have tried different solutions as posted here and on the web.
But still could not get the drivers to work??
I will try this method as it states the drivers are included. If it all works awesome, if not then I fail and will forever be stuck with stock rom's.
Which windows are you running (vista, 7, 8, is it 32 or 64 bit?)?
Also, did you try with FlashTool's drivers?

I'm running windows 7 on a 64 bit laptop.
Tried the flashtool drivers also but still no joy, I check in device management for S1 and each time there is a problem installing the drivers.
I still have a PC running vista so might give that a try if all else fails.
Thanks for your help so far, will keep you updated with how I get on
I have a surface 2 that can run unsigned app.

Guys hay,
I have questions for problems on 10.
First one is that I have very often Developers crash ( Update & Security/For developers) and cant go inside/I must use "unregister you device using "Windows Phone Developer Registration"...EVERYDAY!
Second is that I don't have Cortana. Cant find app anywhere inside WP.
Third one is problem with WhatsApp. Everyday crash and cant upload video or photo from attach option inside, I must go to Library and share it from there.
Forth is that my shortcuts at down drop meni blink very often and don't response...
I have this issues at every build that I install. Now I have 10240....My WP is Lumia 640 LTE.
A lot of question but try to help me in some of these...
Thank you in advanced!
I know this isn't what you want to hear, but this is a preview version of the software. There will be bugs. Honestly, you're not missing out on too much. The most useful part of W10M for me has been the actioncenter flashlight.. That's it.

Did you hack this onto your phone or just get it normally (windows 10 mobile)? Also, try rebooting your phone a few times, as well as UPDATING the recovery tool to the latest version. Let me know if this still doesn't work for you.

That hack told your phone it's a different one to bypass it. You need to undo what you did to the firmware. I can't look into it right now, but ask the developer for a script to change it back to what your phone should be.
