I posted this over on the Lumia 900 forum, and it works on the HTC Radar on Wind.
I have Windows 8/Zune and the HTC Radar from Wind.
1- Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software.. note put the phone in airplane mode
2- Click on Settings/Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is
available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
3- Click the check for update button again, and this time immediately disconnect
your computer from the internet. Do this by pulling the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc. ( I have just disabled the Ethernet adapter) But you should this as soon as the update starts, as your procedure will take some time!!!
4- You should receive a notification that an update is available.
5- Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.
note you have to do this multiple times:
It goes to 7.10.8779.8 first, then to 7.10.8783.12 and then to 7.10.8858.136
have fun!

This is not a problem with getting the update, the error message indicates that you didn't have an internet connection.
You just unplugged it too quickly. Wait a second or two longer.
I tried about 8-10 times and finaly I was able to catch the lucky moment. It started to update. :victory:
Thanks for the instruction.
can anyone share a change log for the ota update?
Just to confirm, this seems to work on the following phones..
HTC Radar
Lumia 710
Lumia 900
I will try the optimus 7 and Lumia 610 soon.
keep you posted.
My HTC Radar was unlocked and this worked pretty much first time. On one attempt at an update it told me my phone was already up to date but I tried again and waited a little longer before disconnecting the internet connection. Now running with luvverly 7.8.
I haven't run any of the cooked ROMs to compare sorry.
Hello jjku, your guide works like a charm, thank you very much for sharing

How the official 7.8 rom is better than the custom roms available here?
So after at-least 25 times of disconnecting my WIFI and Ethernet on my laptop and desktop. I still couldn't get Zune to show my update. was force to use windowphonehacker tool to update my phone. There will be 5 updates with 5 crashes each time after successful updates before getting Window 7.8. :highfive:
Of course only do this if your 100% failing like me on force update via Zune.
*Edit: Personal note: I have slow response time xP...
*Edit: Don't forget to thanks the Window Phone Hacker team.
No Zune Update For Tmobile Radar
Use this. Works like a charm on the first try (updates phone several times to get 7.8). Kind of makes me angry at how much time I wasted trying to install dumb custom roms on my Radar.

Each custom rom is not meant to keep you updated, but offer great customization and openess which this forum XDA is all about! making custom roms requires more time and dedication than time you "waste" in flashing them PLUS posting/typing those rude comments. Be obliged to those cooks for offering their hard work for FREE!
Custom rom are better than oficial rom, because it give more posibilities (ej. with my htc phone i can use Nokia apps).
I love custom roms
Thanks for it.

THIS THREAD IS OUTDATED. aGPS SOLUTIONS NOW EXIST FOR ALMOST ALL CARRIERS.
VERIZON USERS SHOULD USE THIS LINK FOR NEW INSTRUCTIONS:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Below is a link to the "fix" we've been working on for the Titan GPS.
We've gotten mixed results with the testing thus far. Some who have NEVER been able to achieve a lock have gotten locks within 30 seconds. Some say they don't see any change.
I must reiterate though that this "fix" is not something that works wonders. It merely helps the current situation. People who have trouble getting an initial fix, people who don't see locks for 5-10 minutes, etc may see improvement with this. Since I've applied it, I've noticed consistent initial locks taking anywhere between 30-60 seconds on Verizon. I'm happy with that for now. If you apply the fix and don't see any improvement, it doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't work, as others are seeing results. Unfortunately, we've been unable to determine why this happens.
You still have to use the same steps as you normally would for using the GPS. This does not negate the act of priming it or using a launcher. Do everything as you normally would after you apply the fix.
The Titan GPS, though functional, will NEVER be able to function like it does for Sprint customers. Until other carriers provide access to a PDE aGPS server, there will always be hardships for the customers. No amount of hacking, fixing, or upgrading can remedy this.
THIS FIX IS NOT INTENDED FOR SPRINT
THIS FIX WILL PERSIST THROUGH FLASHES OF ROM/RADIO.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR DEVICE

I successfully completed this procedure on Vista64 SP1 without issue.
Now I just need to go outside and see if I get a better fix!
Thanks GC for a great and simple tutorial.

if this is supposed to do what we Sprint users have, then you shouldn't even need to go outside . I wish you the best of luck.
im gonna try it on my xv6800 in a few.
backing up right now...
edit: just did it and WOW! on a cold boot, it connected to my exact position wiht 4 sats without even shifting. all in 38 seconds (timed it). by far the fastest ive ever gotten in my house. soft reset and went outside, and got an exact lock in 5 SECONDS! holy christ, gc you are the man.
Thanks!
GC, I will try this as soon as i get home from work and report results. God I can hardly work waiting to do this.
Problem
GC, trying the fix now. I've downloaded all of the required apps.
Just for reference, I'm using:
DCD 3.1.2 ROM w/ Radio 3.39, w/ provider: Verizon
I just tried:
Put the phone in DMR Mode by dialing ##3424 and pressing send, or dialing ##3424# (depends on carrier). ActiveSync will disconnect, and the PC should recognize the phone as an HTC USB Modem and will install the drivers.
Both options, whether ##3424 and hit the green phone button...or ##3424# failed to open DMR mode for me. All I receive are a response by Verizon indicating that The phone number either disconnected, is no longer in service. etc.
I'll look around for another option. (This is similar with trying to access the options by calling to change how often the radio toward is checked for calls...I had to go directly into Windows and click ePST )
Are you using a third party dialer? If so, **** can it.
Also, reinstall the verizon carrier cab.
Right
I used the fix for SPB Pocket Plus that would make the Dialer continually pop up by installing a similar dialer I downloaded. (fixes the problem).
Should I proceed to reinstall the Cab from Verizon, or entirely discontinue the process?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that is not content with the GPS mode...from a cold start, 10 minutes can be average.
Looks good.
Thanks for the easy tutorial, went smoothly and I think it is a bit better. Edit: I know it is better, I just connected inside work where I never could connect before.
I notice that using TomTom I always before had No GPS signal for about 10 seconds, then it would say waiting for a valid GPS signal for another 10 seconds to three minutes or so, sometimes not at all until reboot. When I did it after the update it said No GPS for about five seconds and went straight to "lost gps signal 4 seconds ago". The longest it took to connect was 10 seconds after five tries (longest was after pressing the power button while in the program then waking it up...go figure).
Will you be able to integrate these drivers into the new builds for DCD? Or will we need to do this as the drivers are released.
Just out of curiosity, I know these aren't Verizon drivers, what provider are they ripped from? Will this be something that will be possible to update as new drivers are released?
Sorry for all the questions, another solid release guys.
BTW - Is anyone using HTC GPS on their phones when they applied this fix? Does HTC GPS even have an impact?

Whatever dialer or dialer fix you're using is preventing ## codes. You need to go back to the stock dialer you installed from the kitchen, then reinstall the carrier cab. After that, start over. (You don't have to reinstall the wmodem drivers or qpst)
Will we need to redo this process after a flash or hard reset, or do changes stick?

Verizon 6900 Results
I performed the fix on my 6900 and it seemed to get locks quicker after a few soft resets. Not sure if it's placebo yet but will let it run for a few days.
I'm also seeing more sats locked. Not sure the why, but I was normally seeing 5-6 at my desk and I'm seeing 8 now.
thanks I may try this when a working PC comes back...
But what exactly does this change on the phone?
Also is it possible that settings from a Sprint phone (PDE and all) could be mirrored into QPST for a Verizon phone?
I did this fix before I flashed to 3.1.6. After flashing, I connected it to check, and all the boxes are still checked.
So I believe it survives a flash
Great Job guys! GPS is locking on in under 10s now it seems!
Doesn't seem to do much for me, the lock isn't any quicker. By, the way, to get into DMR mode without the keycodes look for DM-Router in the windows directory.
not much luck. still took almost 1.5 minutes. I'm not concerned but I'm going to check it again in a while just too see if i can get a faster lock later on tonight
Thanks for the work and continued support for this community
verizon 6800
thanks sooo much gc14 and dcd. you guys are great!
i was the one who started the original thread about this issue, and this fix has helped tremendously! it still took about ~1.5 minutes, but it was a bit cloudy and it was the first lock since upgrading to dcd 3.1.6.
awesome work though! i can't wait till verizon gets some gps servers up and running (i have a friend that works fro verizon and he swears that verizon is releasing their official rom soon, w/ gps enabled so i'd assume their launching some sort of gps server. who knows though, verizon makes lot of promises). we can only hope!
as of now, this fix works just fine for me, so thank you both very much!
GREAT!
Wow man this was an excellent fix for the gps.. when i used the HTC GPS tool, it took maybe minute or more to lock with GPSMODE=4, with this fix, it also took about a minute still.. So i changed GPSMODE back to 2 and did a softreset... wow, it locked like in 10 sec.. never before in my house it did that!! one up for this fix!

So yesterday i was searching forums and i found this thread that lets you download and update the WP7 rom with the new nodo release.
http ://blog.walshie.me/2011/04/04/so-who-wants-windows-phone-updates-like-right-now/
Work fine installed and i have the new nodo update on my device.
But... when i try to open emails, messages, internet explorer etc the mozart will not load them and will return straight back to the home screen.
Im getting really frustrated and im just trying to restore the mozart back to the rom before the new update... for some reason im finding information on how to do this impossible
Help would really be appreciated
cheers guys,
wow i was just goin to awnser you, but this has to wait some more minutes, i just had the craziest crash on my mozart!
battery almost empty
i hook it up on my pc, zune starts everything is fine...
one or two minutes later, the mozart made a "PLOP" sound
it normally does it when you turn off the screen (maybe it didnt always do it)
but i heard the sound once or twice (or more)
but its not normal that the sound comes that late.
well. ZUNE said when this happend: Cant Connect to your Phone, please check connection (after sync)
The RED LED Light is still ON, but i cant connect my phone to Zune
Windows makes the USB Sound, mozart wont react,
i cant turn the screen on!
i cant not even turn it off!
only the RED LED is always On
OH MY LORD WHAT HAVE I DONE!?!?!
im goin to pull the battery and see wtf is happending....
btw sorry to highjack your post
/edit
PFEW lucky me battery plug fixxed it,
i wonder wtf this was! scared the hell out of me..
now to your problem, its really simple and a little surfing the forum would have helped you, maybe searching is always a good idea, but here we go:
Depending on you Carrier you can flash back any Carrier Branded rom without Goldcard, if u want to use another carriers rom or a unbranded one youll need a goldcard, sdcard(usbreader) & Y-Cable

cheers again for the help man just had to find the right one!
Hi all,
I just bought a second hand nokia lumia 800.
It original owner got it from nokia as a dev gift.
Everything seems to be working except for zune, which is giving me the error: "connection error" and it saying me i have to restart my phone.
I did everything i tried to fix it like:
rebooting phone and computer
factory reseting the phone
reinstalling zune
trying other usb ports
trying other usb cables
trying other computers
running admin mode
Apart from this i tried everything google came up with.
There is something curious: a fix suggests i have to remove something from the certificate manager, but it's not there.
I already asked the seller if i could get my money back, but he doesnt believe it's the phone (or that i destroyed the phone myself).
Does anyone have a solution to this.
I really want to listen to music, else im forced to sell it (which will be difficult because of this bug).
Mathijs
i have the same problem too. i've tried search everywhere. but couldn't find any single solution.
I have exactly the same problem.
I just bought Lumia 800 from Saturn German Bemen and I cannot get it connected. I tried 3 computers and I also have HTC HD7 and Samsung Omnia 7 and both of those phones are working fine on these Zunes and computes. Never had these problems with those two phones.
Mauri
Same here, arrived today and cannot get zune to connect to the phone.
The solution is the date.
If you change your date time to tomorrow it works. I think it is a problem with the leap year.
@xGDI:
tnx, that worked

Thank you Bro, you just saved my life! I was going to trow this phone (bought today) off the window..Thank you!

You can change the date by right clicking the date&time at the right bottom of the screen in the taskbar (or whatever its called).
Additionally you can try to look it up on the microsoft site (google is your friend).
I also noticed that the drivers arent correctly installed if you install zune before connecting your device for the first time.
So you may wanna try removing zune, connect the phone and give it some time to install the drivers, then reinstall zune on your computer.
Zune/microsoft also have a free livechat that you may wanna try.

Bit the bullet and went for it! Success. :good:
Got fed up with waiting around for Micro$oft and HTC to finish d!cking around deciding if they are going to release this stuff or not. It seems they can't even decide through their own official website announcements what's going on, and both seem to contradict each other. HTC need a big lesson on customer relations, and responding positively, and keeping former promises about updates, or many of us long term HTCers are likely to move to the Nokia side of the Force.
Anyway, moving on from the corporate politics...
Ran this on a factory-supplied unlocked HTC Titan X310e, and it worked an absolute treat... 25 minutes of loading various updates, but no problems noted thus far. The only thing I did notice was the HTC hub icon not acting in live mode in either large or medium tile size (just goes dark). Maybe that's just a refresh issue, but not really bothered - it's only an icon to launch the real app. Resized it small fort he HTC logo, so I know what it does if I need it.
It will ask you to install the Dev Kit first (5 minutes tops) and that installs all automatic, then relaunch 7-8er, choose language pack (be careful to scroll down the full list if you want English UK), and just watch it update. Remember to enter your PIN after it reboots after each incremental upload so the next stage can run.
Brilliant work.

I update my phone using SevenEighter a few days back. It was working fine until yesterday. Afther update i noticed my phone is restaring abnormally. Yesterday night colors where messed out in background screen and after restart it was fine.
Later My phone made again abnormal restart and didnt wake up any more!! Was just showing Nokia logo and thats it. After serval minutes it made continious restarts. So i figured out that problem may be related to Lumia 800 Battery issues what has happened with many people! (My phone is 3 days old). Today i downloaded original RM ending .. 12070 and i was able to recover using nokia care suite. thank god!
So my question to you guys is have you noticed same thing happening with your phone? Also does wp7.8 contain any kind battery fix like 7.5 has? I liked 7.8 much but if im not able to use it and it ruins my device i´ll stay on 7.5.

I flashed 7.8 on my 710 using NaviFirm and downloader.exe and last night I got the exact same problem
The background of the homescreen covered all the tiles, all tiles were under the background, then some tiles appeared but most were still gone
Rebooted the phone and everything is fine again
It must be a 7.8 bug, not the method we update them

Hi,
Does anyone have any info or idea if the AMBER update will be available OTA for L920s with the DEV ROM? I don't see that entry in the update schedule page from Nokia. I just chatted with them and they said they have nothing scheduled at the moment, and suggested instead to go back to my ROGERS ROM (not even in my wildest dreams!).
I know I can flash it, but I don't want to go through the pain of doing everything again, including re-setting all my apps et al. If the OTA update comes out in a couple of weeks or so, I don't mind waiting, but I don't want to wait and then realise in a couple of months that it is not coming out and have to flash it anyhow.
Any news? Do we have to start making some noise on Nokia's forums and social media?
Thanks.

If the OTA update comes out in a couple of weeks or so, I don't mind waiting, but I don't want to wait and then realise in a couple of months that it is not coming out and have to flash it anyhow.
Any news? Do we have to start making some noise on Nokia's forums and social media?
Thanks.

In case anyone else is wondering, I started getting the update OTA last week. I wasn't expecting it so my connection was very slow and I just soft reset it... Apparently, the download got somehow messed up upon resuming. To make a long story short, after it was installed, the screen lock didn't work properly: I could only unlock my phone right after it turned on; after that, it would not respond at all, so I had to soft-reset every time I wanted to unlock the screen -the other option being deactivating the screen lock altogether, but that doesn't look very promising, especially for battery consumption and pocket dials.
As it turns out, I ended up flashing the firmware, which is ironic because I could have done it a while ago when it came out, but didn't want to go through all the hassle.
My only problem now is that some apps that should work, like Nokia Pro Camera, do not allow me to install them. My firmware does say it is the latest version, and it also identifies the Lumia Amber in Details, but the app is not available.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks
