We covered the unbranded Mozart Mango ROM the other day and now like dominoes, the rest are here too--well most of them. Yes folks, leaked "final" builds of Mango updates for numerous HTC devices are now available for your unauthorized usage, meaning you are taking matters into your own hands.

What these ROMs (7720.6 offer over the RTM build is of course updated radios, some HTC customizations, presumably specific APIs for things like the compass and other unique tweaks to improve the Mango experience. So here's what's available:

7 Pro - RUU_Gold_S_HTC_Europe_3.02.401.01_Radio_5.69.09.29 a_22.50.50.21_Signed_GOLD_RELEASE.exe
Mozart - RUU_Mozart_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEAS E.exe
Mozart - RUU_Mozart_S_HTC_RUS_4.06.411.00_5.69.09_RELEASE.e xe
HD7 - RUU_Schubert_S_HTC_Europe_4.05.401.02_Radio_5.69.0 9.29a_22.50.50.21_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE.exe
Trophy - RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE .exe
Trophy - RUU_Spark_W_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.01.605.04_2K_new_parti tion_RELEASE.exe
Most of those are Europe-only ROMs, so take heed but look at that last one--yup, for once Verizon HTC Trophy (review) users get something early! Head on over to XDA for all the goodness.

Tempting if it has the final tweaks. I just noticed this yesterday and just have not had a chance to even really research it. Unless someone else installed it, I'm not going to brick my phone.

Also it depends on the sideloading, I'm unlocked and it breaks my unlimited sideloading, I'll stick with the current RTM till a workaround is done.

And, as I understand it...if the build is 7720.68, it's not the carrier release. 7720.68 is the Microsoft RTM, not the carrier/OEM release.

So some homework needs to be done. after all the Verizon Roms listed bfore on XDA would of bricked your phone or put it in a perm demo mode.

Sure, I'll play, This is not an offical rom (well, not till its proven), so no one as of yet....

This is also verizon we are talking about who made it known that they were not interested in Windows Phone 7

Edit: Verizon user claimed it worked fine....

well the one for the arrive isn't in that list. I'm guessing USCC will be last since they're the last post paid carriers to get a wp7

I did enough homework to possably install. Here's what I found out.

It does update firmware/Radio, so it might be worth installing for Verizon users if you have questionable coverage/really bad battery life. It could fix a lot of dumb hardware issues with the phone. A few verizon users have installed this and reported no problems, actually, better perfomance (questionable because the phone was nuked back to factory, AKA a clean phone, so till real tests, it's questionable)

It will NUKE your phone, there is NO upgrade path. It's not like 7712 or 7720, it's a fresh install. This kind of holds me back a little, Yea, I'm dev unlocked but with the CustClear.provxml method, I can get unlimited sideloading and un-cerfieied app install. This I will not be able to do with this version and it's something that I need (too many dev apps that I can't live with out).

For Sprint Arrive users, You have the "Gold_C" so you would be looking for a rom for that. The Gold_W is the GSM version of the 7Pro, if you install this, you will brick your phone, so you have been warned. There is No Sprint rom that has been released.

As for me, I am waiting (I need my unlimited sideloading).....My phone devloped a line down the center of the display and 2 bad pixels. I need to call up insurance again. Maybe I will try it for a day or 2 before sending it back.

Oooh, I wish the Gold_C Arrive ROM was part of the list. Oh well, RTM Mango has been perfect for me as-is... the only benefit for me would be HTC's official tweaks.

I'd like a leak for the Sprint HTC Arrive also. Still the burning question for me is whether or not the Hidden Wi-Fi REALLY is enabled with these "final" leaks. Off to research it out....... I need my Ad-hoc connection!

[JohnMcD348]

same here. Right now, I figure, if Sprint doesn't roll it out by October(ish), I'll probably end up going Apple or Droid. There's just too many things lacking right now for me. I like the phone and OS is nice, but it's lacking in many things. I'm hoping that Mango fixes that. The hidden WiFi is a glaring example.

I know, many of my issues with the OS are mainly due to my being "Old Fashioned". I don't want to have to jump through hoops to be able to do with my phone, many of the same things I've been able to do with my PDA's/Phones for the prior 10+ years. I like being able to have my contacts and schedules on my computer and having it sync with my phone when I plug it in and vice-verse. I don't like relying on "The Cloud" for this. I don't use an Enterprise server. I'm basically a Home user that does use it for my job (Health Care) mainly for reference software like Tarascon for my own uses. It's not something given to me by my employer. Part of my dislike for Clouding is that I don't like the idea of having to put my life completely online. Granted, my schedule is pretty boring. Work, On Call, Family Medical Appointments, School Schedule, Little League. Pretty boring. But, being online, leaves it open to hacking, fishing and other risks to being taken by others. And? What if I haveing a meeting setup with a Naked Midget with a fetish? I might need to put that into my schedule, do I need to make that a point to risk making it public knowledge? Really.

Seriously though, My only other big peeve is the inability to sync word files. I shouldn't have to load my notes to the clouds in order to get them on my phone. I would love to be able to use something like the Windows Mobile Device Center, but again, I have to jump through hoops to get my phone Unlocked so I can do simple things that should not be an issue.

I'll stop now before it starts to sound like a rant. I actually really do like the phone, it just doesn't sound like it all the time.
