Gentleman? How things going here?

a lil bit of information would be nice ;) any further help needed from us normal dvp users? i can offer any help as long i dont have to brick my beloved dvp (i still use it as primary phone)

(and yes a very silly question now.... anybody thought about trying to bring WP8 on our device - is that even possible with WP8?)

In my understanding before trying any kind of port we have to access the bootloader and as of now we don't even have Interop unlock or registry write access. Someone was trying to jtag a DVP but nothing came out of that.

Myself? After sending my original SD card to Nokser (which isn't arrived yet after more than a month) I broke my DVP's screen and I'm looking for a new one in Europe.

How do I update my phone to 7.8? i am on 7.5 version 7720

i would say - just go in your phone to Settings -> Software Update and search for an update. some got 7.8 through regular update (some of them did that while connected to zune and searching in zune for the mobile phone update)

otherwise try this here

49 - 59 € for a used one. may be ebay cheaper in auctions. hm sry then i cant help. i need my phone still for daily use (and still love it). it would be so nice to have WP8.1 on it :D or better a new phone like a big lumia with Keyboard and WP8.1 ;)
Really hope there will be one with QWERT keyboard and Windows Mobile 10 for work, or wish someone could find a way to upgrade DVP WP7.8 to Windows Mobile 10.

That would be really awesome win10 on dvp :D or even better a similar qwertz/y hw Keyboard phone with great screenresolution and camera like a lumia 950 :D

may be MS will get back to that Format while they try to hit the Business market more with smartphones :)

    Now it is possible. Construction of a new system for the Dell VenuePro!!!

    Slide1.PNG



    Workaround/Solution:
    --We have new way/solution upgrade other invalid/without header(HashTable.blob) ROM/FFU files
    --We need people who have Factory Unlock ROM in Device Dell Venue Pro aka Lightning..
    --More Coming Soon.. :)

    Info/Q/A:
    --HashTable - provides for the device, such data as:
    - The size of the system image
    - Date of creation
    - Size / Data Partition
    - Distribution Sector
    - Data Modification
    - etc

    --In this moment more DVP users, gets a location file TMO hashtable device.

    Example Info HashTable:
    --TMO Image System .FFU have a size: 163MB, we have this same info size in HashTable on .CAB file
    --We get this file form C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\XXX, when device is in update process..
    --In summary, the CAB file is equal to the file FFU :)

    How to this File CAB/FFU:
    --We get this file only, when we update wp7 on device
    --Go to C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\'c1661afb - e369573d - 3aed7bd8 - 23e8cf51'\Update\ folder.
    --When u see 'Downloading updates:', then you must copy this file .CAB for another directory, example to Desktop
    --Time for a copy of the file is less than 20-30 seconds
    --This All




    Big Thank's:

    I'm probably going to upgrade to the HTC8X next week which would leave me with a spare, fully working, DVP. I'm tempted to donate it to this project..

    I still wait for reaction my Bank etc...

    Don't worry I am sending it anyways. Even if Paypal doesn't send the money in time. You should have the DVP very soon. Good luck !

    Are you going to give Nokser the DVP? We need to know it because if not we'll donate to him to get one.

    I sure am sending him one!!!!! LOL , I hope he can make some magic with it as of custom roms. I will ship it to him on Monday. OMG sorry for the delay, didn't know Nokser posted here I was sending him one. OMG..Would have been more active in getting the phone and sending it to him. But on Monday it will be shipped over the pond and hopefully he should have it by the end of week. GO NOKSER!!!
