You still will need The Zune 4.8.XXXX version, your current version of Zune will not read the mango device correctly.

Yep, someone on XDA released the files that came with a dev account to be able to install Mango beta on your phone. I believe this is the build that you have been reading on assorted sites.

You need to download 5 files and do some registry settings on your PC then install in order.

[HOW TO] Mango Beta Update - xda-developers

The general thoughts are it's faster and has a lot of extra features but, not everything works 100% (Twitter was not working as of yet)

Note: not all apps will support multi tasking (a change needs to be in the app, so unless updated for mango, it won't work). THERE ARE BUGS and INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK !!!!!!!

Remember you should do your homework, if it does not work for you, you could possably BRICK your phone

Dont say you were not warned !!! If you do it, post your results please, I downloaded everything but, need my phone today, but, trying to see others reults with a HTC Trophy before I try the next step


Here's the details from the link above.

not there yet, it's upgrading at the moment (at the last and longest stage). I had mine unlocked via the MFG tool. I reset the two registry keys PortalUrlInt and PortalUrlProd back to the https links
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowspho...on.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowspho...on.svc/01/2010"
(thanks to drkfngthdragnlrd)
and set the DeveloperUnlockState to 1. While still in the MFG tool I started the MangoB2-DevRetailUpdate tool.
It would not work initially. Closed the tool, started the new beta Zune software and it relocked the phone. Closed Zune, disconnected phone and went back into the MFG app and unlocked it. Connected phone to PC again, restarted the tool and it started the backup and installation process.
How to Un-Lock your Phone without Chevron 7

How To Keep Your Phone Unlocked
