Update DVP to Mango. (very fast and easy)

Make sure you are updated to NoDo...
Here is a quick and easy guide:
UPDATING TO MANGO
1) Install the Windows Phone Support Tools 32 bit 64 bit
2) Connect your phone
3) Run Update.bat
4) The batch file will backup your phone, install the updates, and copy your backup to C:\PreMangoState
5) Zune should open and prompt for an update. Follow instructions from there.
6) After installing the first update, Zune will update again to 7661.
RESTORING NODO
Automatic:
You can use the Restore.bat file to automate the restore.
Manual:
1) Copy your backup in C:\PreMangoState to %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update
2) Run Zune, navigate to settings, click Update, and press Restore

Dude, is this safe or aare there chances of BRICKING my phone?

There is always a chance, but in this situation it is minimal....Just make sure you are on NoDo, and follow the steps properly.

I updated to Zune a few weeks ago, my issue is that I cant seem to revert back, I have backups in my premangostate folder, each one is about 4GB, but when I put a backup folder in the windows phone update folder and run the restore.bat it says there's no restore point found.. any ideas what im doing wrong?
Edit: I mean updated to mango..

I actually just got over this problem, took me a bit to figure out.
What you need to do is what I did (not sure if it will work):
Delete the PreMangoState folder
Empty recycle bin
Downgrade to zune 4.7
have the WP support tools (Beta 2) installed
restart computer
do the Update.bat program
It should work as normal. When your phone is up to Mango status, then upgrade to Zune 4.8.
My theory is that the update.bat files know that the PreMangoState folder is there if you haven't emptied the recycle bin (since all that is doing is marking the space on your drive as free). However, emptying the recycle bin and restarting clears the space for good, and the update file will work as if it was run the first time.

How to confirm NoDo again?

is this will work on Tmo-US carrier DVP phones.

Appreciate it! But we need to point out this is update to Mango beta, right?

I used the other technique posted for my Tmo DVP and works great. Basically manual without the BAT files and W/o Phone support tools installed. Can't find the link though.

can you pls tell me the steps

Does this work for all DVPs or just T-Mobile? Does it have to be a Developer unlocked device?

NoDo inshort for No-Donut. Its basically a codename (by MS) given to the Windows Phone Feb 2011 update that brought copy& paste functionality and serveral other improvements in the OS.

I failed to upgrade to the next version of Zune after running this. Now when I connect the phone I get the Zune Software update required box. When I click ok, it tries download then gives me the message, "Can't find the media for installation package for 'Zune WMDU Component'. It might be incomplete or corrupt."
Any thoughts or am I screwed?

in the links that the OP provided, there is a download for Zune 4.8. Just uninstall your normal zune and install that one from the downloaded files. Your library will be the same, it will star up normally.

Remember to BACKUP YOUR BACKUP, as uninstalling Zune will likely delete it.

I don't see the download for Zune 4.8 in my downloaded files. When I drill down all I get is the Prov, read me text file, restore bat and update bat. is it in the prov?

Ah - my mistake I must of forgotten that this download package did not include the Zune update
I followed this thread here when I originally updated. Its very thorough and helpful.

That did the trick. Up & running. thanks.

Try to push the update by disabling internet to pc while zune searches for updates. There are some useful posts about how to force NoDo/Mango updating, search XDA.

I tried forcing a million times with every possible timing and situation covered - no go. It either says "no update available", or "cannot check while your internet connection is down".
The irony is I was already pushed Mango officially (without having to force it), but I didn't use the steps to prevent relocking. So I restored back to my unlocked NoDo to do the above steps, and ... well, now I'm stuck.
What gives?!?

Dude... This worked for me.
I do have a small doubt. If I reset the phone after all this will it affect the unlock? I would like to reset the phone and login with my new id.
Please let me know dear...
Once again Thank you so much for the guidance...

After reset, the phone is deleted, thus your settings, certificates, files, pictures etc (everything on it) are gone.
So you will lose the developer unlock, but the OS after reset will be 7720 (latest you upgraded to). If you want to have unlock after a hard reset, you have to start again from 7004 (re-flash).

I recently bought a Samsung Focus on Ebay. I updated it to Mango via Zune. Can I still unlock using Chevron? Or would I have to downgrade and how?
Sorry, first time using WP7.

You need to start over from 7004 to be unlocked in Mango. You can only unlock in 7004/7008 unless you pay for developer unlock.

Question??
After choosing unlock from the list, pressed save, it says loading GPRS Profile for unlockprovision, should i leave it until something else happens or just hit close??

Hi everyone,
I'm going to buy a Samsung Focus from US, it's unlocked.
My question is if can upgrade this smartphone because it hasn't WP 7.5 Mango and I don't know if after that it will still working on my city (Lima-Peru).
And by the way, I need to know if this upgrade is an official upgrade from Windows. Thanks!

Yes, you can upgrade it, and yes, it should be working in Lima.
All updates for the phone come from Microsoft, through the local mobile carriers.

You will have to download zune and it should update on its own. If not you can trick it into thinking your using a different carrier . I had at&t and they didn't release a few different updates so I changed it to bell Canada and got all of them.

How to: Wireless (&USB) Tethering on LG Quantum

If you’re an owner of the LG Quantum/c900, you may have noticed that your carrier hasn’t enabled Internet Sharing on the device. This is a universal problem for all carriers with the exception of Telstra (Australia).
Internet sharing is a feature that Microsoft made available in Mango, to carriers but not consumers. The drivers are available to manufacturers, who can choose whether or not to include them in their Mango drivers and can also be removed by carriers before pushing them out to the public.
Now let’s go back to that bit about Telstra… It is true that this carrier selected to include the tethering drivers in their mango driver package. There was much speculation about changing registry values to get the update on a different carrier, but this would not work because of the model variations - the Telstra Quantum is labelled c900k, with the Bell variation being c900b, while AT&T and other international models are simply c900). There are actually no hardware differences between the two, so I’m unsure why they’re labelled differently.
Now, in order to get tethering on any Quantum, we need to flash the Telstra ROM. If you’re uncomfortable with flashing ROM’s, or have never done it before (it’s easy, trust me!), you may want to stop here, although I have included easy instructions for newbies. Please note that flashing a ROM will delete/erase all content on your phone. You can reinstall apps more easily by viewing your purchase history in the Zune software! Alternatively, you can read how to enable wired tethering (which doesn’t require flashing) at the bottom of this post.
**Note that this will break MMS! The only solution (at this time) is to carrier unlock your phone and run the LG Network Setup tool, available from the marketplace!**
First of all, you’ll need to download the package (which weighs in at 372 MB) after the break, which has:
A modified DLL that allows cross-model flashing.
The LG flashing/engineering tool.
The LG United Mobile driver.
The Telstra Mango ROM
Download this file (Deposit Files) and extract the contents to wherever you want.
Start your phone in “Emergency Download” mode; you can do this by holding the camera and volume down button while pressing the power button. A screen with an exclamation mark should appear, with the text “EmergencyDownload”.
On your PC, open the “LGDP2 V36 Flashing Tool” folder, followed by the “Setup” subfolder.
Launch the included executable and proceed through the installation process. When asked for the serial key, copy and paste it from “Serial Number.txt”. Finish the setup. You may get an error related to mqmailoa.dll, disregard it.
Copy the “DOWNLOAD” folder from the flashing tool folder and paste it in C:\, overwriting any file conflicts.
Install the LG Modem Driver found in “LG Modem Driver (MA 4.9.7) in your extracted directory.
Connect your phone to the computer via USB and allow the drivers to install.
Disconnect your phone now.
Navigate to C:\DOWNLOAD and launch “LGDP2_V36_UMTS.exe”
The tool will launch with a pop-up asking for Model Division, select “UMTS” and press OK.
You will be presented with another pop-up, asking for Port Selection. In “Easy Select” on the left hand side, select “All”.
Under “DLL Selection”, point the program to the DLL located in the directory you originally extracted everything to, under subfolder “DLL”
Under “Download Configuration”, point the program to the Telstra Mango ROM, which is also in the extracted directory, under ROM. Press OK. Ignore warnings about being “Unable to Find Monitor Port”.
Press “START” in the upper right hand corner. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE YET!
NOW reconnect your phone. The process will begin, allowing you to view detailed information related to the progress in whatever COM port window the phone is connected to. Be patient as the process may take some time. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE!
When the progress reaches 100%, you may disconnect. Now quickly run through the setup of your phone. At this point in time, you can close the LG Flashing Tool.
You’ve now officially flashed the ROM.
There are still a few steps to get tethering! Currently, you are running Mango only. The latest LG/Telstra drivers haven’t been installed yet.
Navigate to settings on your phone and verify “Date and Time” are set to the correct values, and set “Region and Language Options” to the appropriate values for where you reside and tap “Accept Changes and Restart Phone” at the top.
Reconnect your phone to your computer and launch Zune. If required, go through a quick name setup and then allow the phone to check for updates. The update “LG Update for Windows Phone” will be installed. After this, restart your device and voila! You can now enable Internet Sharing from the Settings menu! Telstra has also released the 8107 update, so you don't have to use the CAB sender method to get the keyboard fix.
If you want to remove the Telstra boot screen (or even replace it with your own), you can root unlock your device using WP7 Root Tools 0.9 (requires interop unlock first: see here (follow the LG method, obviously) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963, and then use this tool http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/app_wph_tweaks-04-09-12
If you’re uncomfortable with ROM flashing, or don’t want to have to re-sync your content/apps, there is a less efficient but easier to apply method of tethering via USB. This hack is applied via the LG MFG app on the phone, but requires a reboot every time you apply it.
To do this, follow these instructions:
Install the LG Pilot Modem Driver from here! (Deposit Files).
Open the dialpad on your phone and dial “##634#”. The MFG app will install and open.
You’ll be presented with a password field. The password is “appmfg#*#”.
Open the “Engineer Menu” and then “Port Setting” followed by “USB Switching”.
Take note that the default value here is MS COMPOSITE” - if you don’t change this back later, you’ll be unable to sync your phone via USB with Zune.
Select “QC COMPOSITE” and press OK to reboot.
Connect your phone to your PC, the drivers will be automatically installed.
Open Device Manager, and find “LGE CDMA USB Modem” and open the Properties dialog. Under the advanced tab, add the additional string “AT+CGDCONT=1 “IP” “your carriers APN” (isp.cingular for AT&T, “pda.bell.ca” for Bell Canada, etc). Apply the setting.
Create a new connection, by opening start and typing “dial-up”, click “Setup a Dial-up Connection”
Select the “LGE USB Modem” as the source, and set the phone number as either *99***1# (America/International[?]) or *99# (Canada).
Turn off the Data connection on your phone prior to dialing!
Connect! There’s no username/password.
The next time you want to sync via USB, you need to change back to MS COMPOSITE in MFG.

oustanding post. thank you for all of this very useful information summarized in one place! We Quantum users seem to be very neglected unfortunately.
---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------
a few questions for you...
Are there any negative consequences for at&t (US) subscriber to flashing this ROM?
I assume I will need to flash back to at&t ROM before the next update is pushed out?
Also, does the Marketplace recognize region and only offer certain apps, etc.?
Are there any performance differences?
Any other consequences?

Thank you for posting! I've been looking for wifi tethering on a C900B on Bell for awhile.

No problem
Sent from my LG-C900B using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

There should be no noticeable differences, if you use MMS, take a look at one of the other threads in the Quantum forum, it will explain how to get it working again. Also, if you chose not to rollback, you will stay on the Telstra update channel (which isn't a good one as they haven't released 7740 or 8107 yet) and will continue to receive updates from them as they are pushed. If you'd like, I can post a tutorial later for updating to 7740/8107 to fox the keyboard issue. In reality, unless your carrier is to release tethering drivers, there's no real reason to rollback unless you're experiencing other issues.
Thanks for the kind words,
Mitch.

so the flashing failed, obviously =P
I'll try again with your guide x)
I switched from a samsung galaxy s (i9000) to this phone 6 months ago, and wireless tethering was the only feature I really missed.
Thanks! =)

Also had trouble getting into Download Mode. Used this trick from this user:

I can confirm this guide works flawlessly on at&t Quantum!! It is very simple and takes about 30 minutes to complete. If you want tethering on your non-Telstra Quantum, there is no reason not to just this and you won't regret it!
---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Actually I have to somewhat qualify my previous statement. The installation went perfectly, however there are some after effects. For instance, my data connection no longer works and as stated previously by others, MMS no longer works. Also, I noticed, as I suspected, the marketplace is region specific and some apps are not available with the Telstra ROM. An example would be the Xbox Extras apps. The marketplace thinks I am outside the US even though I am definitely in the US on at&t network. DAMN! This is alittle annoying and it makes me wonder what other apps I am not able to get access to with this ROM. OH well, I guess there are positives and negatives, but wifi tether is worth it in my opinion.
Just be aware, there are some minor consequences. I'm sure I can get most everything working again, but may take some tinkering.

Perhaps the icon text in the registry for your hspa connection before was set set to 3G.. For whatever reason. There's nothing that should have happened by flashing this ROM. I'll look into the MMS issues, there should be an easy solution.

Hey, I did this using a Bell LG Quantum and I ended up not being able to use my Cellular data, is there anything that I could be doing wrong that would cause this, I may do a re-Flash since I have reverted back to Bell's ROM

Anyone else having problems downloading this file.
I also tried the faster downloading mirror and it just times out.

I'm still looking for an MMS solution that will work for everyone. It appears Telstra removed some of the ADC settings in the MFG app, so I'm looking for potential workarounds in the registry.
As for the servers, they're working fine for me? If need be, I can re-uplod/email the files to you.

As far as I was able to see once you flash the Telstra firmware you'll get the update to 7.10.8107.79, so don't mind which version you flash
Lg configuration app fixed MMS and APN too.

Specific enough, I'd say
If you've already deployed WP7 Root Tools and Samsung Tools, you can always re-run the unlock sequence (in Root Tools first and then ST). Just to keep in mind Do not remove these 2 apps from the phone to test sideloading, once unlocked!
I'm not familiar with Bazaar but it seems you're missing a PC component used in the deployment process?
As for deploying, choose a XAP from the development forum and try to deploy it. If you can, it means you're unlocked (evidently).
If you can't deploy, try WINCO's XAP Assistant.
Let us know how it goes.

LG quantum upgrade 7.8 done!!!
Just use CABSENDER !!!

Unlocked Bell LG-C900B on TELUS
Confirmed. Received 7.8 update yesterday via Zune. It applied about 3-4 updates before it was done. Very happy with it. Does anyone know if WP7 Root Tools will work on 7.8 and is there a screenshot function available when it's rooted?

Tried de-branding my phone, restored to factory, branded to SaskTel, spent hours trying to get the cable-pull trick to fool Zune... absolutely nothing!!! A little disappointed, and hoping I won't have to wait too long for the notification to show up on my phone. Probably would have been best if I hadn't checked Google and found out that the update was rolling today - then I wouldn't have wasted so much time, and I wouldn't be so disappointed now!! Haha Anyway, have fun with it, hope to be enjoying mine soon, too.

Hi! I m also on att, but today i was able to get WP7.8, the way to do it is debranding your phone!
Enable the MFG application by going to the dialer and dialing ##634# then pressing call. LG Phone Problem and Solution
Launch the MFG application and enter 277634#*# when prompted for a password.
Select the Engineer Menu item.
Select the Other Setting menu item.
Select the Edit registry menu item.
Set the input boxes on this menu as follows:
Select ROOT_PATH: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Input SUB_PATH: \System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\
Input KEY: MobileOperator
Data Type: STRING
Select Query and write down the result for re-branding (just in case)
To debrand leave the input data field “000-88″, apply the changes.
Connect to Zune and check for updates.
Good luck!

Can you post the links to the CAB files?
Can anyone do that? because nothing is working on my side to get the update.

Guys. I tried the debranding... but nothing (LG Quantum AT&T, but I live in Romania).
So, I've used the SevenEighter app and that worked superb. The app will crash after each successive update, and you have to reselect the languages (6 for me) existing on the phone before each install. But other than that, works just fine Got like 4-5 updates (I think from 7720) till 7.8.

Thanks for the tip. I got impatient when nothing was working, so I tried Seven-Eighter. Worked for me! Yay =)

The windowshonehacker tool worked for me but not the first time. It gave me error 80180048 and then I did a phone reset and chose only English language and it worked.
Thanks guys.

What is 7.8 OS version #?

I did the de-branding above and it ATT LG-C900 updated, but I don't thin it is 7.8. It still says Windows Phone 7.5
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware 1.1.6.10
Can someone verify if this 7.8?
I don't think this is 7.8 because the home screen hasn't changed.

What is your OS version #?
update:
ok, the 7.8 OS version # is 7.10.8858.136
I finally got my ATT LG C900 updated to 7.8, here's what I did:
1. De-brand the phone: this got the phone updated up to 7.10.8107.79
2. Do the "Disconnect" method: by placing the phone into airplane mode and then timing to see how many seconds it took from clicking the Update until it give you the message that the your phone is up to date. Now do it again, but this time disconnect your computer's internet 1 second before the time that you just measured. This is just trial and error. You have to do this many time until you get the message that you have an update. Now, when you get the message that you have an update, turn on your computer's internet and then click on the Update button to update your phone. You have to repeat step 2 for every update until you get to OS version #7.10.8858.136 (it took me about 4 or 5 updates before reaching 7.10.8858.136).

Disconnect Method
How many updtes are there between 7883 and 8858?
Its taking awefully long...
Has anyone tried the Bluetooth yet?

I don't remember exactly, but I think it's just 1 or 2 updates. You have to do the timing exactly (one second before whatever your measure time is) to trigger the update.
