Want WP7 Mango today ?
Edit: I created easier directions here
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/2123450-post27.html 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.

Make sure you have a rom of your current version so if you need to roll back AND make a backup of your device. SO as long as you can install the rom to your device, it should be restoring your data... I think...Never tried it before |

Re: Want WP7 Mango today ?
I just got a developer account yesterday (for free) and unlocked my phone. So now I'm waiting to see if I get an official email for the upgrade

Feel free to PM me if you don't want it public... As for Mango beta, Very, VERY tempted. I can't find a rom OEM for my Trophy (the ones on XDA claim to not work), so I really don't have a backout plan. I've been reading about people who have been using it on XDA (spent a lot of time on there today reading about this), and every one claims that it's very stable and faster than the current build. Also, a lot of the new features work fine, so you will be getting 85% of the new features working very well to great (some issues but, worth spending some time on XDA as there is a lot of people using it over there). The speed and perfomance difference is enough to tempt me alone...never mind the features. MMMMMM....Mangos... Edit: My question about the backup addon for Zune, from what I was reading, people used it to go back to Pre-NoDo before, so it might just work to take a full backup of your phone then installing Mango, if you hate it, or too buggy, just connect to Zune and restore... would like to know for sure http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1#post15247851 Last edited by DavidinCT; 07-01-2011 at 12:55 AM. |

Re: Want WP7 Mango today ?
I'm pretty tempted but it seems like a lot of work to go through to get it on there.
I'm not to worried about messing up my phone but it just seems like I'd rather wait it out. I'm not really missing the TP1 & TP2 with always being on a cooked rom with some stuff not working or breaking all of the sudden. A few more months will come soon enough.
