Windows just sent me a HTC Mazaa

[gowtham1337]

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?

did you wireshark the updates ?

would be nice for all mazaa users .

if not , did you make a backup first by zune ?

yes then you could roll back and do the updates again but then with wireshark so that everyone could use this

hmmm edit :
Canonical-7.10.8773.592-........................................... (can not tell what it is )

is your os Version now 7.10.8773.592 ?

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?
