Hi,
My friend is keen on installing WP 7.8. I would like to know if it is safe installing wp7.8 through navi firmware and any way to back phone contents?
PS I have used navi firmware before back in Nokia 5800 days. But lost touch since. If you guys can guide to tutorial that's fine.
It's Lumia 800 magenta color. Region India.
Thanks in advance.

You'll be able to find enough tutorials, just look for them. And no you cant backup. You've waited this long, you might as well wait it out 1-2 weeks more and get it through zune without having to lose your data. But yes, it is safe as long as you follow the instructions right
You can install using Nokia care suite instead of downloading from navifirm.
I installed 7.8 on my cyan (india) lumia 800 couple of weeks back and its running smoothly. I used navifirm and nokia care suit. Also there is a recent news that nokia is going to stop users from accessing navifirm, only some people with id/pass will have access to that.
Anyways, as far as my experience: It is safe to update to 7.8 and its amazing.

Here's a detailed guide on flashing your phone: http://community.giffgaff.com/t5/Le...okia-Lumia-800-Giffgaffers-guide/td-p/2891451
You'll have to reinstall all your apps. Your contacts will automatically get synced through outlook. And you'll loose all your messages, game saves. The music, pics and videos can be retransferred back through Zune.
More intelligent ROM?

Is there "intelligent ROM (WP 7.8) that doesn't erase all personal data and applications?
Why ROMs are so brutal, whereas official ROMs keep data and apps?

It erases all your data because Nokia Care Suite is mainly used by technicians to recover Nokia phones...
I did "recover' my brazilian Lumia 800 with NCS, not need to use Navifirm. Everything fine
Sure you can. It is the same version that will be sent via Zune publicly at the end of the month (confirmed with a Nokia employee) and it's completely safe.
I installed it a week ago and it runs smoothly. Just do it with Care Suite, it's easier, and make sure it's the same code that is in your SIM card tray or else if it's an operator specific variant there's no update for that yet, you can install a CV version too. The firmware should be the same, it was for me. Good luck!

Lumia 800 that I have is 059J3G0. And 059JXXX are European Nokia Default Transceiver devices which means they're just like normal devices for EU region that are sold everywhere.
So you might be able to install a different variant OS version, but be still careful and use commons sense
The stuff I installed was this:
Code: 059N341 - doesn't matter, same hardware
Variant: RM-801 VAR FINLAND FI CV MBLACK - normal variant for Finland matte blacks
OS: 1750.0823.8858.12460 - 7.8 RTM

I am actually BUZZING for this update, I reallllly want to update my phone, but I don't want to loose all my data!
But my question is, who else is excited?! And has anyone actually updated their device?! Upload some photo's!
I just updated my Mozzart this morning ... I haven't had any time to use it, I ll let you know how it rolls this weekend!
I upgraded yesterday, so far everything is great. I used the method on windows phone hacker, so I didn't loose any data. Overall very easy to do.
mango is so awesome!!
PS during the process I had to restart my computer a few time to get the update to show up in Zune software.

Oh right! Do many of the features work? have you come across any bugs?
Does that also mean you can update to the final version and keep data?
everything i came across works, except tweeter.
when the RTM mango comes, all beta mangos will need to restore back to nodo+ (3892), then update to final build. so everything you've done in beta mango won't stay. however most things done on wp7 are always backed up at other places (live, pc...), the only things i can think of that will be lost are game progress, and application settings.
and sms
I did
Updated a SAMSUNG oMNIA 7 AND NO DATA OST? ANYWAY? BACKUP IT BEFORE
works well
Yep got it running for me, had it going a few days.
Best feature has to be the fact you can't turn the phone off in your pocket!
Little video i made about it myself.

If you update mango by Zune,it doesn't remove your user date,but if you reset your phone ,it can ,by the way ,unlock your phone in 7008，and，Zune have to install in disk C

Lovely video dude! Are your games sideloaded or have you bought them?
Sorry guys, where I can find the Mango-beta rom for my Mozart?
I am a registered dev and I was able to flash it without the hack. I am having issues with playing music - after a while the phone crashes. I am guessing it is a driver issue. Apart from that everything looks great.
Tweeter integration works on the latest builds which arent public. Looks like mango is going RTM late august and will be released in september.
Hi Folks!
I also tried to get Mango on my Mozart (T-Mobile Germany) with the updater tool but after installing the 7401 Build I don´t get any notifications for 7661.
What´s the matter ??
Hi there,
I got a sim free / unlocked Titan today. It is the EU version, got a UK power adapter with it, but I am having problems updating the handset.
I assumed that it being sim free, I shouldn't have any issues updating it to Tango.
I'm currently on 7720 and no updates are being found by Zune.
Where do I go from here?
Would prefer to have the latest update if possible.
I don't currently have a sim card installed, would that effect it?
Thanks
Appears Zune isnt even attempting to go online to check, I disabled my net access just to see what it does. Just says phone is upto date. HOW DID YOU CHECK WITHOUT AN INTERNET CONNECTION. Aaargh
I already hate Windows Phone 7 and it's my first day.

Zune will use the phone's internet connection to check. I think part of the disconnect wifi halfway through to get the update trick was to force Zune use the telephone connection. Once you turn on flight mode on the Titan it will not find any updates anymore.
Oh and Titan unbranded UK here: No update.
Think i'm screwed.
Installed the 2.05 RUU today, still not finding any updates.
How can a phone be update broken? It doesn't make any sense.
what is 2.05 ruu?
there is a high likelyhood the upodate isn't officially released for all unlocked devices. so nothing wrong with your phone.
i read somewhere on xda people could update to tango using the disconnect trick. so i tried that and was lucky.
i went to 8112 first, then 8773 then HTC update.
good luck
Got it to update to Tango with the disconnect trick.
Interestingly, it states HTC Update for Windows phone in the update window of Zune. So perhaps that is why I was having camera issues before, it needed specifics.
Any other unbranded Titans recieved Tango
Just wondering if any one else has recieved the Tango update on unbranded Titan?
Mine was purchased unbranded and unlocked, currently with a Vodafone sim but as yet no Tango update! I've tried the disconnect trick several times and a factory reset.
I've decided to wait a couple of weeks before I use the cabsender as I previously "Walshed" my HD7 and had to make a gold card to get it back to normal.

Yeah please don't do cab sender with the current Tango ones. I think Tango is followed by HTC update and one of them via cab sender tends to break the camera modes. I've Euro unlocked, got my update yesterday. I've reset my phone, swapped ROMs and then went back on Euro and still this afternoon got the Tango as soon as I paired it with Zune. Probably a weekend worth of wait?

The disconnect trick got it working for me, only way the update would stick.
Flawless with the disconnect trick. I had to try 3 - 4 times before I got the timing right, but then it worked.
It seems some new drivers came with the HTC update that follows the Tango update. I have the impressions that the quality of the conversation sound is better now.
That was soooo painful:silly:
Managed to get first update to 8117, then it took another hour of trying to get 8773 which was thankfully followed by the HTC update:good:
I thought Tango was supposed to allow contacts to be exported to the sim card but I cannot find it, is that just a lumia option?

after the 8773 update, you said there was an htc update. I just installed the 8117 and the 8773 , do I have to do the disconnected thing to get that update too?
Thanks.

I did'nt have to, the HTC update followed the 8773 one straight away! If you did not get it then it is probably worth trying the disconnect trick to try and get it.

Before the updates did you have any connection issues when using WiFi and 3G connection at the same time?
Did the update solved that for you?
Hey just wanted to ask (since everyone seems to be ignoring my posts), if you go to games hub and look at your avatar does it stutter? Or if attaching a file do you have ringtone listed? And if you go to people settings do you have export to sim?
I've got these questions because I've installed tango 3 times on my titan (1 cabsender and 2 via zune), and also when doing a hard reset, capacitive buttons won't work at all, and messaging hub would be corrupted. In other cases burst mode would simply wont work as well.
I'm back on 8107 with 2.5 bootloader because tango is a minor update and it really does these "damages" rather than improvements on my titan, so yeah I lived with 8107 for a few months, I don't need to export contacts or have static ip settings and have a stuttery avatar animations.

No I Have'nt used sharing since update as my netbook now has a built in 3g modem. I'll probably wait for someone who needs to use it test it!
Is anyone aware of really bad issues with the battery relating to OS or some rouge app?
I'm running os 8773.12220 and I have about 4 hours of life.... This is far from normal of what I used to have and it's making the device very unusable....
I've tried searching but it's not easy on the app and couldn't find anything...
On a side note, navifirm shows v8779 but not for my country, would there be problems if a flashed another country variant? Strange that Lumia 800 doesn't even show up on 'production' tab...
I'd appreciate any insight on both these.

Yes, I had same problem with the battery,only last 4 hours. but i sent it back to Nokia UK ask them to repair, still waiting for my lumia
This is a already a replacement and it has worked fine until now... really strange :s
im on vacation so i cant really do much in terms of nokia... ive reflashed yet again using restore mode instead of refurb to see if that makes any difference... waiting results now..
Hi Folks
Just informing you that Official Build 7.10.8858.136 (Windows Phone 7.8) is available on Zune for the HTC Mozart ...
1. At least in Australia
2. My phone is Telstra branded, not sure about other branded phones.
In my case, I had to force update the phone in Zune using the 'pull network connection' method.

why you would want a stock rom when custom is allways better? you can install your owns xap's and you dont have the carrier limits.
if you dont like somehow the rom in your phone then just simply install some other (e.g. dynamics 2.0 - its the same 7.10.8858.136. as the newest 7.8 update).

Lots of new custom ROMS have had the same 7.8 update few months already.

Only found one issue with the 7.8 update other than the lag issue launching off homescreen which is on both my phones that updated to 7.8.
720p video is most of the time ridiculously laggy... 1 out of 5 times trying to capture 720p it will be smooth but most of the time it runs at 2fps...
The irony? One of the reasons I swapped to the mozart was for the camera?
Anyone else have this issue? Will restoring to 7.5 through zune work?
And with the update, my telstra mozart connected to zune would not update until my partner and I swapped phones and reset them. The zune updated the mozart...

Hi! Maybe i can help!
There is a known bug with the Mozart capabilitie to shoot 720p. If you start recording a 720p movie in a very shinny with plenty of light environment you will a lot of lag on that! But if you record a 720p movie in dark conditions that wont happen. Try recording on 720p in a lighty environment, but before snapping the start button, cover the Mozart len with your finger and then start recording, after 2 seconds take out the finger to record what you want!
That happens with me, and im still on 7.5 (ultrashot rom), and will be here for a long time (super stable).
Only update by forcing zune.
And what about SVK/CZK? I still wait, try forced and still nothing

Hi all
ive been a droid user for many many years now and have finally made a move to windows phone 8.
now im used to hacking bits on droid however im stuck on a few things.
This phone is unlocked to all networks but now has ( be it minimul) EE branding. what do I need or can someone point me to a guide to have nice old generic setup.
also can you wirelessly sync music from pc to phone
and last of all - I have windows 8 and it syncs to the cloud - how do I access this?
many thanks
2. Yes, via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
3. Download the Skydrive app from the wp8 store. The Win 8 store has a wp8 tool. There's also a desktop version. And check the wp8 section of http://answers.microsoft.com and http://www.wpcentral.com. Both good sources.
You can also access the cloud via www.skydrive.com

Well, since the rest of your questions are answered I will try answering the first one. Essentially it would involve you flashing your phone with a different nokia version to replace your original EE one. Once done you wont ever get any more boot-up animations to annoy you and all.
But lets be realistic about this. The branding in windows phone is so incredibly minimal. All you have is a small splashscreen before boot and a few pre-installed apps. You can uninstall *ALL* the apps and be left with only the splash which you hardly ever see.
Oh, I forgot about the branded accent colors. Some branded phones have additional accent colors (= more) to choose from. That's the reason I flashed back to the branded t-mobile firmware as that contains an additional, dark grey accent color that a unbranded phone does not have.
To sum it up: with Windows Phone, branding is nothing negative.

I have to agree here. In fact with AT&T all you have is one 3 second white screen with a very small globe in the middle with no words or lettering of any kind. Then a Nokia splash for two seconds then windows. If you are bothered by the little bit of branding then maybe you might want to consult with and OCD specialist. I mean the WP8 phones are the least branded of any phone out there stock. Even the apps are limited to maybe three AT&T apps and a few Nokia apps. The rest is pure WP8 and what ever else you install.
