First problem i have, whenever i try to use the windows update i get the following message:
Connection to update server was not available. Check our data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct.

Date & time is correct, mobile connects to websites ok so i dont see why it wont connect?
while googling this, i found theres a ROM upgrade for the phone aswell, do i need it? the phones 6months old and has ROM version 1.56.405.1
The main reason im wanting to use windows update is because i've tried to install a couple of apps and it tells me i need an upgraded .net framework, is there any other way to do this? and how can i find the latest version?
thanks if anyone can help.
dont waste your time...
in short ,dont waste your time with windows update,it is not used ,at all.
windows update (according to interviews on FACEBOOK..windows mobile, with relevant persons from MICROSOFT.....) is only for very crictical updates and they have never used it ,(as far as i know...?)
best is to navigate to htc website ....
http://www.htc.com/mea-en/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
..make sure to select your country ..top right of webpage ,
note, above link i provided... is for htc middle east and africa...and upgrades might not be applicable to your country...!!!!
the .net issue is seperate issue..has got nothing to do with upgrade..!!..
it is used for certain applications to function...
, google for ..something like ...."netcf 3.5 download "....or/
try this link and make sure it is what you are looking for.....!!!!!
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
follow link..it will take you to microsoft web page (dont worry, it is a free applications ) ,but be aware ,the application is about 33 megabytes,and download it to your pc.
afterwards , you have to connect phone to pc and install from pc.to phone..reboot phone and you application should work.?
( do not try and install from phone ,it wont work )
good luck

From what I can see you already currently have the latest ROM upgrade that is also available via HTC's website, so there is no need for you to download and install it again. At the time, the ROM was released to improve the overall functionality of the phone and fix some existing issues with it.
Here is what the ROM upgrade contained:
Improved Functions and Fixes
1. Updated the Connection Setup Database.
2. Improved emergency call connections while using Airplane Mode.
3. The GPS position updating speed has been enhanced.
4. A Title bar display flicker in TouchFLO 3D has been corrected.
5. Fixed multiple browsing issues.
Go to this link, and download and install the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab to your device. After you installed NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab, reset your phone.
thanks alot guys, appretiated
Since installing this, im getting quite a few error reports
"A problem has occured with... please tell microsoft about this program"
Reflashing the rom might help.

In that case, (if i was in your shoes) i would try to hard reset first then install the .NET cab first and then any other programs you want afterwards. Then hopefully those nasty errors will disappear
Hello!
Tried to install skyfire but got the message 'skyfire installed unsuccessfully'. Anyone know why? Someone mentioned applications that are not certified by Windows Mobile... is that it? How do we go about it?
Many thanks,
jae
skyfire
hi guys
i am having the same problem
and getting this kinda problem with a lot of other software and games too
i try to install and get the message "installed unsuccessfully"
HALP !!
mine installed but everytime i boot it it gets an error and has me exit.
worked on my touch pro so what gives...
Happens also when You update MS market. Don´t mind. If app opens and works correctly after "unsuccessful install" don´t bother.
Happens also when updating already installed apps but still after update they work fine in the updated version.
I think we must accept that windows is not the most reliable operating system, and it doesn't integrate with the HTC device as seemlessly as we see with other OSs and devices (I DON'T want to mention any names ). There are certain advantages though...
Anyway, to the point... after repeatedly trying, I have now installed Skyrife successfully. No reason, didn't do anything different. Just executed the .cab file again and again...
mine installs just wont work once its on the phone...
Hi guys
I have searched the forum but cannot find anyone with a similar problem.
I have activated my Win 7 but still cannot download apps.
I get the following message when trying to install an app
"Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while"
Any suggestions?

ive already installed some apps but now i get the same message
i tried to download from zune on the pc it says it cant be downloadet becaus of an temporary server problem

Me too, I wonder if genuine WP7 owners are getting this problem...

Yes, and it worked before.
and u dont changed anything?!?
Nothing at all, I only tried because I saw this thread.
yes me to
its definitely a server prob dont worry...be happy
Good to hear. Just activated my HD2 and I was afraid I did something wrong.
Well seeing as it says it can't get the information after it says it was verifying, it does look a bit suspicious :/
for me its working again
i hope for u too
How did you solve this problem?

yeah I am having the same problem, received my activation code today. I go on Zune and it lets me install ot, but I get it will install soon message and then it never does. Anyone, I am in the US and on t-mobile.
i dont do anythig it was an server problem and now everything is working
I have the same problem after activation,too...
The wp7 ist correctly running, only the marketplace doesn't run...
I did an hard reset and the same happens...
When i want to install the programs with zune, zune say, that it is installed, but i can't find the program on my phone...
I have vodafone in germany...
Just downloaded and istalled the IMDb app. Downloaded and installed fine, but won't run. Loads up for about 4-5 seconds and then phone goes back to WP7 menu screen. Any ideas???
If you have JUST activated and it is saying this
have you applied the registry key to identify the device as a HD 7 ?(unless you have a ROM with this as standard)
There is coming the following message:
Access to the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg is restricted.
What could I do?
For you guys having problems with Marketplace, just be sure you made de HD7 tweak (in Settings-About your device must appear as HTC HD7, not Leo70). After you enter the 25 digit code in Marketplace, get the Live ID.xap file (available on the forum) and edit the CustClear.provxml file in it with your code. Then deploy the LiveID.xap to device.
I'm not having any Problems with Marketplace apps.
1. phones are connected to the computer tips, zune tips Update - This step updates zune
2. Update finished restart the computer, mobile phone and computer still prompts - this step update wp7
3. Phone restart the update process twice, the first mobile phone icon appears on a mobile phone and computer icons, that is being updated, you can not disconnect the cable
4. After completion of the second telephone restart is complete.
The following is the outcome:
1. Update completed - but prompt registry error, error code: 80180089
2. Phone also, as before, has not been re-locked, it now appears the update was not successful does not bring any bad influence
Off-topic:
1. My hd2 has been disguised as hd7-through change registry
2. Microsoft Hong Kong live account is given - call me in the past to the
3. Usually use the normal function (including the market, simultaneously, zune show hd7, found my phone) - does not appear abnormal
hd2 Please do not update:
1. After the update failed to install the xbox game market, reboot several times, has never been this situation before, do not know how it is
2. Also automatically crashes, are several times
Alas, only to re-install wp7
Look forward to an expert forum to identify and resolve, ha ha
I have exactly same problem. What the solutions may found? :||| I need updates.
Some people say that to reset phone and after that on HD2 updates will be work. How u think it will be work? And when I will reset my phone, it meand that I will lost all my phone data? or it possible with some ways to save a data and when make an phone reset.
Please if u have any ideas respond me about my questions. Have u tried phone reset method?
Hi
Me too.
Got this damn error code: 80180089 when tried to updae my HD2. It says that it cannot backup my phone due to a registry change. There should be a way to update without having to backup first.
Same Problem with my HD2. I do not want a damn backup. If something goes wrong i would simply reinstall everything. That is annoying. I Hope there will be a solution comming up. :-/
hi
in the process of updating - registry error, error code: 80180089 on my HD2
but works fine. yet...
I think we need registry data of original wp7 to install update, because our cracked windows registry is demaged or not full. have someone tried to reset phone and install update on wp7?
do any of you actually read the threads? dont update tot he new version
i have read and why don't update a new version? it seems that problem in registry and some users who updated their phones it works fine, not blocking and chevron tool for deploying xap files still exists. i think its not harmful for our cracked hd2 to have an updates.
tried to update my hd2, too and got the same error. but no problems appeared... so i guess i just wait until someone finds a solution for this
Error on update WP7/HD2
Same error here, but works normaly after restart. It just can't back it up because of registry settings....

The update doesn't work for anyone with HD2s... it was known from beginning that automatic updates would not work with HD2... we have a ported wp7 on our devices.
Tried a reset and the update still did not work. Same registry error. Not surprised just want to try and share the info.
First I got the error code 801812C1 but after two retries that went through. The registry error code 80180089 can’t be bypassed.
Manual injection of CAB files in the future I guess. Yes I know custom ROM on a unsupported phone.
Don't kill the messenger. I'm just sharing info here.
Used XP SP3 with newest zune software.
Looks like some other guys with samsung omnia7 have this issue with the update and microsoft is working on it. I guess that will be solved in a few days

Do you think we will be able to update our HD2s then?
I don't think so, but I like surprises
Probably will not work on the HD2 since its most likely looking for anything funny in the registry. Pick your choice, not the right hardware, hacked OS, chevron, side load apps, custom settings. Unless if people that have virgin phones and still get the same errors then anything is possible. They might have to allow future updates to have more variations or be more lenient on what its looking for before the patch gets installed. That’s my two cents anyway.
Phones: G1, ATT ARIA, HD2
In a microsoft thread, I read that the problem with samsung omnia 7 is about backing up the phone. The same as HD2. So I think there might be some hopes for us
maybe the problem come from detected usb hardware driver that seem to be different from that in hd7.. i say this because when the hd2 display shown the icon of pc & hd2 , after the first reboot, a symbol no usb connection appear.
Its a pointless update, why bother...
Tried... but failed

No, I'm sure that was just telling us not to remove the USB connection ha ha. I just tried the update, same error code. Remaining hopeful that this is same problem as Omnia or whichever phone was mentioned before, but I have doubts and wont be too shocked if it has nothing to do with it and we cant update the OS this way. If this doesn't work someone will come up with something. Might just have to reflash with each major update. It wuld be annoying but its better than nothing ha ha.
Customized ROM from HD2 can't Update the OS! HD2 owners should wait until devs cook the update in their Roms! This update is pointless but actually Microsoft made this update to prepare your phone for the next update! (??LOL??) I know that you guys made the tweak in order to disguise the HD2 to HD7 but still... So be more patient or buy an official WP7 as i did!
IMPORTANT:
If you are having issues with the lockscreen settings or selecting the theme color, make sure all your language cabs have been updated.
This is usually caused by missing a langauge cab

Like title says: WP7.8 is out, has anyone gotten an update, without installing via cabsender?
The important question is if there are any oem updates out, and if there are if anyone can capture their urls.
Edit: my install history: shipped with 7720 -> manually updated to 8773 -> manually updated to 8858, it installs and seems to be working fine with 7720 drivers.
Need to test more thoroughly though, but it installed and boots.

Tried updating using the force update method, Zune came back with "Update ready for 7.10.8779.8", which I tried to update to, but then during the backup the update failed. I'm pretty sure the 7.10.8779.8 is a Nokia only update, but I am not sure.
Will try updating again over the next few days, see what happens.

8779 is a generic update, and it always has been.
It was simply not released widely and noone bothered to leak the update urls.
You have to upgrade though 8779 to get to 8858, everyone that recieved updates to 8858 did so

"Simply open Zune and go to the Settings. Now instead of just clicking on the 'Update' button and waiting, what you need to do is disconnect your computer from the internet while Zune is still checking for the update. You need to do this about 3-4 seconds after you see the 'Checking for Updates' progress bar pop up. It may take a few tries, but eventually it should work."

Just updated unlocked T-Mobile Dell Venue Pro using Cab Sender method. Worked like a charm!
IT WORKED!!!!
My backup was taking too long on the force update method, so I deleted all my music and videos and some of the apps, then had to perform the force update method 3 times, and the last update was 7.8!!

I updated using cab sender method, and it worked like a charm. However, as I notice, a contact still miss the entry of "Mobile 2" (unlike Windows Phone 8). Do all of you think it's as intended to miss this entry?

What does that mean? I dont use my VP as a primary.
Do you mean that for a contact with 2 stored phone numbers it doesnt allow you to enter it/it doesnt pick it up when searching/something else?

Hi Manii, in Windows Phone 7.8, you're able to save a contact with
Mobile
Home
Home 2
Work
Work 2
Company
Pager
Home fax
Work fax
However, on Windows 8 you have one more field: Mobile 2. The shortcoming from Windows 7.8 is, once one of my friend has more than 1 number, I will have to store the second one as "Home", not "Mobile 2" and this number can not be texted directly (SMS).
We can workaround it, however stock support is better for sure!

You're right about that: I can confirm that mobile 2 is strangely missing, WP7 itself simply does not support it.
You can add "mobile 2" via the win8 people app or the the people section of live.com and it simply does not appear.
MS/Live accounts simply are not able to handle custom labels on fields period, if you're like me and use gApps as your primary account source and have custom labels: they simply do not appear at all via live connected apps (wp7/win8/live.com).
You would need either to be less descriptive or have multiple entries to replicate the same thing via live accounts.
You cant even manually create a "mobile 2" label and expect it to show up under wp7.
You would need to completely bypass live accounts to add custom fields, it's an inherent limitation of live.
That or live with the fact you would simply have no way of syncing at least that to live.

If you're already on Tango (8773), just download these CABs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37384687&postcount=1478, repeating procedure separately for each update pack. Actually, I always used English (US) language, so downloaded only corresponding packages:
For first update downloaded:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/05/diff-7.10.8773.98-7.10.8779.8-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_b9598a098a3a4e902d043cef778a79ff3e6b0869.cab

And installed using CAB Sender (for instructions on using it, look at this post).
Then, did the same for two other update packs.
Second one:
http://download.windowsupdate.com/msdownload/update/software/dflt/2012/10/diff-iucorefixed-7.10.8779.8-7.10.8783.12-armv7-retail-microsoft.pks_8a50b92b21951c7baf9f3600cea8c77e0918021f.cab

Of course, if you use other language than English (US), you will need other lang packs from each update as well (notice *lang_0409* in package names here).
After installing 3rd update pack, you will be successfully running Windows Phone 7.8.
Good luck!

ya it works, I got my Tmobile DVP up using the cab sender method to 7.8.
Someone wanna comment on the firmware for the bootloader/radio etc?
Here are my Specs:
OS: 7.10.8858.136
Firmware: 2250.1800.7720.219
Hardware: 112.576.2.0
Radio: 2.2.50.18
Bootloader: 7.27.1.0
To be honest I feel that 7.8 made the device slower for me. 7.5 Mango was much faster. Just my experience.
