Hey,

Try the FFU file I posted. That should almost certainly solve the USB driver issue. I'm sure the bootloader driver will be working (because otherwise I don't know how the present version of the OS was flashed on your phone).

As for the other issues. That depends on your carrier. My phone doesn't have an IMEI either. Haven't found a solution for it. But the phone works on certain carriers who (probably) don't carry out an IMEI check when registering the phone.

It does have an MEID, so should possibly connect to CDMA networks. What does *#06# tell you?

To be honest, haven't used the Mazaa in ages. If all fails, send it back to your Microsoft source, they should replace/reflash it for you.

Hope it works out
Cheers,
Abhi

Thanks for the quick reply!

When I try to update using command line tool, it gives an error "Error: No Devices were found". I tried with the OS booted up on the phone and in the recovery mode (The one where it shows the pic of a phone connected to a laptop)

The phone shows up as a "Windows Phone USB Device" in my Device Manager, but I can't get zune to recognize it.

Getting a replacement from MS is not possible at the moment since there was a clause saying that MS will only provide a locked phone. I didn't realize that it would be this useless. >.<

Just got it working. I left the phone connected to the PC and forgot about it. Windows must have downloaded the driver in the background. Now it shows up as "HTC Mazaa" on my PC and Zune is able to connect to it. I was able to update it succesfully to 8773

Conclusion: The phone is first recognized as a Windows Phone USB Device. Wait for an hour to let Windows download the drivers.

I am still trying to get it working on a CDMA network. What's the difference between "Global" and "CDMA" modes? Does it make a difference which one of these two I select?

I did not get the links for the driver since I was not expecting it download anything!

For the phone updates, there is a comprehensive guide with links available at http://mbmccormick.com/2012/04/flashing-windows-phone-mango-build-8107-onto-htc-mazaa/

My current phone OS version is - 7.10.8773.98


Anyone has any idea on how to get this phone working on GSM/CDMA networks?

    I only have my two phones, and no camera at the moment. I'll try to see if I can get my hands on a Camera Before the Day is done.

    Isn't 7720 the RTM version? Would be nice to know the differences with Beta 2, improvements, new features, etc.

    So far the differences are almost unnoticeable, but here's what I've found so far:

    The camera has quite a few new settings, tried to get a picture but they didn't fit in one pic. The Settings include:Brightness, contrast, Saturation, sharpness, white balance, image effect, ISO Gain, Best Shot Mode, Anti-Banding, Focus Mode, Exposure metering mode, and Exposure Compensation.

    There is a new local scout app icon

    Hidden Wifi network

    And that's about all I've noticed thus far, other than speed which may or may not have something to do with the faster processor/memory.

    Sorry about the thumbnails. Even though I posted a picture yesterday, today it's telling me I need more than 8 posts to link to outside sites. I'll try to answer questions when I have time.

    please make some test like boot time, wpbench, browser speed

    Boot time both the Mazaa and the HD7 are about 22 seconds with only a fraction of a second's difference.

    On the speed reader test the Mazaa averaged 31Fps with average draw duration of 32ms, and the htc hd7 averaged 29fps with an average draw duration of 34ms.

    Fishtank on the Mazaa is about 47 fps, where it's only abou 30 on the HD7

    I love how all the "news" sites are using the pictures I posted here. I guess I should have taken more care to not capture my "people" icon in the pictures, now my ugly mug is plastered up on dozens of blogs, oh well lesson learned I guess.

    They are also reporting that lionmilk sold his phone for 699. I'm not huge into playing games, or doing really anything that requires heavy computing on my phone for that matter. I want to develop a few lightweight apps in the future, but that's about it. Ever so tempting, I am a poor student developer after all. ;)

    Edit: I couldn't help myself, I need the cash a lot more than I need the phone. Tuition/rent/gas doesn't pay for itself after all. I know some of you may think I'm dumb for selling it, but hey to each their own, right? If anyone from MS see this and has a problem with it let me know, and if I'm in the wrong I'll pull the listing.

    Here's the link for anyone who may be interested http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200640463322#ht_3250wt_1415

    Hi all,

    So, from my earlier posts, you may know that I was trying to get my phone working on Verizon. I harrassed the Microsoft guys about this, and they ended up sending me a new Mazaa that was provisioned for CDMA. There was still a problem with the device, though – it only had build 7600 on it (which, by the way, included some fun tools).

    The main problem with build 7600 was that it was pretty buggy. Microsoft then sent me a Connect invite which gave me access to an image update for the phone (ffu format).

    The phone now has 7720 – and it is working on Verizon – but, a few little issues do still exist for me:

    • There is less storage than there should be (I think you guys are onto something with the partitions)
    • My data connection it stuck on DO – no 3G
    • The hardware buttons to light up
    • I can no longer access the bootloader. I can, however, get to that 3 vibe boot state.

    **What is interesting in this image update, though, is that I can install and run HTC apps! The only one from the marketplace that is not working for me is the flashlight. Also, to my dismay, I have so far been unsuccessful in trying to sideload a version of the HTC Connection Setup app; which I think is the key to getting me 3G data.

    Mike
