this article is perfect, clear instructions that help me step by step. it made the update completely painless :) thisguyhelps(dotcom)/2011/08/how-toupdate-windows-phone-7-to-mango.html (make sure you connect the .com on the link)
@ripplechipdip me either, I've watched all these guides and all the website guides, but I don't know where this magic update.bat file comes from. I have the support tool or whatever.
Well after having so many problems doing this and being experienced and careful. Zune closed in middle of update. Luckily developers of the Focus handed the roms out and I was able to reflash my phone. Hours later getting mango finally on my phone, the two most things I wanted on my phone (visual voicemail and video mms) were not available. Wasted my time and the Mango 1.3 program to make the update available still didn't work correctly. Luckily I found a different way backing up. POS programmin
Just to make it more clear, when I ran the program, it said backing up and I didn't touch it at all. When it got to the end and you press a key to continue, I pressed space and it said copying backup files to so and so and then said no files to copy. That was it, its no where on my computer, the program didn't make a back up at all and so unless I could use someone else's backup, I bet I'm screwed.
Hey dude, this stupid update.bat didn't backup my OS. Now I'm with the modified OS with no backup files. Anyways to fix this or am I screwed because the program failed to copy anything?
when i opnd the tool and click next it says that zune needs to be updated to 4.8 and that im using 4.7. im using the zune that is mentioned above...please advice
OK so i got past that error message and now I made a backup but Zune isnt saying i have an update for my Samsung Focus. Does it have to do with my build being 7390?
Ok seriously Im making an attempt to update my Focus and i get an error stating Error: system.uriformatexception: invalid uri: the format of the uri could not be determined etc.....Whats going on?
I tried running update.bat but soon after i start it i get an error saying " System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined. at wm7update.Program.UpdateDevice( I DeviceInfo, List '1 Updates, UpdateType type ) at wm7Update.Program.Main ( String [ ] args ) " then it says if there are no error above please press any key to archive your backup...... PLEASE ADVISE WHAT SHOULD I DO?
@pocketnowvideo i have a question im running wp7 7.0.7390.0 on a samsung focus but my phone dosent reboot like it's suposed to when cmd is running the update.bat it says thats it and im still using the same wp7 os can you help?
UPDATE: My phone bricked this morning after running this Mango for 2 days. Basically, I'm focked! Do i regret, maybe. So to the rest of you all, tread with care. I realise i might be the only person though, it might not be a bad idea after all.
@mthowabatho Running on Mango since Beta 1, then Beta 2 at the moment without any problems. Can you give some more details as to what happened? What was the phone doing at the moment it crashed? What is it doing now?
@pocketnowvideo the phone switched off this morning on its own. I switched it back on but got stuck on the 'Samsung Omnia 7 boot screen. The phone switches on and off but just wont boot up, just gets stuck on the same screen. I tried formatting (vol dwn+cam=power) no luck, i tried using the Windows Phone tool to recover but it keeps saying no restore point found. I induce the 'connect to pc mode' then loaded the premangostate to zune, zune fired up, detected the phone but said no restore point.
Guys, updating is so easy. I did it yesterday and it took me under an hour. Just follow the instructions to the letter and you wont have a problem. 24 hrs later and im still finding new features on Mango.
1. Download the tool found at the source link, version 0.2 of the tool with backup ability, right between "Update" and "Notes" (not hot-linking the file)
Im about to give up. bat window shows error and doesnt send phone to update mode. When i carry on it opens zune but doesnt detect any updates. Ive tried almost 10 times and still get the same result. HELP
@mthowabatho Actually I already had Mango installed but had to revert to NoDo in order to film this. It's very easy: you keep a copy of the PreMangoState backup it makes, copy it to the Zune folder and Zune will revert to NoDo in 5 minutes. There's a restore.bat included in the Mango package and a readme to explain the two-step revert procedure.
I'll film a video about it when we'll get closer to the official launch of Mango (final version) as it will be current then.
@solomonabhi Its pretty easy actually. The tool that is used to upgrade to Mango actually saves a backup file of NoDo on your computer. Whenever you want to downgrade just go to the tool and choose the restore and it'll do the rest on its own. I'll message you the link with the tools/steps I followed if you're interested.
@MrThingamagig - Thanks for your prompt response. Yes please, that will be very helpful. Will really appreciate if you could message the link with tools/steps.
