[HOW TO] Mango Beta Update

[blindpet]

I have no jailbrake anymore after Mang Beta Update, how can I get again?

People are working in it, just gotta be patient

You don't need to format the phone but if you have a lot installed it will take longer to perform the update. I waited over an hour and I have 5 gigs occupied out of my 8. If you can live with hard-resetting first you'll have mango beta faster.

Hi,
If you have a third party software you lose them as me. But if you have software from Market you do not lose them.

I'm finally registered and my device ist developer unlocked now. but i haven't received the mail yet. which method of installing mango would you reccomend in this case? this one or the regular one?

Just a follow up: Back-up and two updates almost seamlessly(Had a scare when the USB got bumped and lost connection but the phone recovered after a batt. pull and came through like a champ). Unlocking via MFG was as smooth as always.

Since you are a developer. You should use the leaked method. This is simply because as a developer, you'll simply receive the mango beta 2 emails sooner or later and they would be the same as the leaked files.

Also one added benefit is that in the unlikely event that something goes wrong, MS would tend be able to help replace/fix your device seeing that you're a developer using the mango beta 2 pushed out by MS.

Its all messed up....

Long story short, Im stuck on the Samsung screen.

*I cant do a restore, it doesnt recognize that the device is hooked up!

*Tried in download mode as well.

Now, its just stuck on the "samsung screen". Its not a retail device, so cant go via samsfirmware. PS: The samsfirmware update tool recognize that the device is hooked up to the computer, but not the restore.bat....

Any ideas??

Is it possible to install Mango beta 2 from Virtual PC (Windows XP Mode)?

if the upgrade went all the way through to the last step and then got stuck on samsung boot logo when it tried to reboot the phone you have the same problem I had. only cold boot would work. the interesting part is that after cold boot I was not greeted with the original firmware/software but with mango beta. However, all my information and apps were gone. cold boot on an LG is pressing camera button+vol up+vol dwn at the same time while the thing is booting. if you can't get it too boot, pull the battery, plug it back in and then press the buttons. Needs the right timing and you are greeted with the "cold boot" message.
good luck

So I am assuming that you don't run windows natively? In my opinion I don't know if it is possible to do that but I know for sure that you shouldn't try to do so. Updating the firmware is a pretty low level process and unless you're a registered dev, if you brick your device... that's it.

Hi,

OK! I got it to cold boot (phone and pc logo connected to each other)

First when trying to do a restore it stops in about 37% and gives me error: 8018009B.

Any clue what that can be? Im getting one step further, but just need to get pass this error code, and google didnt help me much...

Where can one get the Zune 4.8 beta? I need this and can't seem to find it... anywhere.

I already replied in the other thread and pm'ed you with a link

 

[rapik]

Thanks for the advice.

But it seems that is not possible at all since SDK 7.1 Beta 2 cannot be installed on Windows XP.

ok, are you sure the Zune software v4.8 cannot be installed either? SDK and Zune sw are two separate things.

Guys, I am trying this, but can't seem to get the update going. Maybe I am skipping a step here. I have followed the PDF multiple times, but the final update EXE is crashing. I have tried to update with both the EXEs - Privision.exe as well as the official WP7 MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate EXE.

As soon as I click "I Agree," either EXE crashes. There is nothing in the details either that I can post here.

Any help/input is appreciated.

not quite sure what you mean by "final", so this may be a shot in the dark. Did you try to uninstall/delete the Windows Phone Engineering Flashing Tool (Uninstall Program) or UpdateWP.exe (delete) in the Zune folder and the reinstall the Setup-UpdateWP x86 or x64.exe? Some people had problems with this.

Anyone has an idea why i am facing this problem?

but now i got
Error: The installed version of ZuneWMDU (4.7.1407.0) doesn't match the tool version (4.8.2098.0).

I think it could be the OS you are using I did the mango beta2 on my omnia 7 update using provision file , zune 4.7, SDK v7.1 on windows 7 , had to update zune after so phone could sync.
