Hello guys,
just to inform you that an update is available....
It is not yet flashable to our HD2 (error code - wrong registry) but I am sure the cooks will be able to fix it in no time.
According to Microsoft Windows Phone blog, this update will enhance the updating experience for future update, without giving much details.
What’s in this update?
This first update for Windows Phone is designed to improve the software update process itself. So while it might not sound exciting, it’s still important because it’s paving the way for all future goodie-filled updates to your phone, such as copy and paste or improved Marketplace search.
In the future, I encourage you to check out our new update history page on the Windows Phone website for a brief, plain-English summary of what each update does or what features it adds to your phone.
hmmmm...any idea what that update is for??any news??and is it safe to flash on our hd2??

i tried to update my HD2, but at last i got error!! somthing with backup!
Well at least Xboxmod and the rest of the Devs will now be able to cook up this new update.
So folks you will just have to wait until its done, as you cannot update unless you have a real HD7 phone.

mmmmm i think the clue is in post # 1 ? or maybe you dont bother to read!!!!
You cannot update a LEO70. Only a real HD7 phone.... So flash to your hearts content.
You are all going to have to wait until the Dev's do an update to the LEO7 roms etc etc.
Are these better updates automatic? If so, would they break a custom rom on HD2?
This is just an update to update the updater... Seriously.
I tried and has been well documented. update fails but did no damage to my rom... so, no harm no foul...
I actually hesistated to even update the Zune software... let alone try to update my HD2. I thought MS may block us out some how.
this is update file wich is downloaded by zune.
It is contains files:

I have done both, the phone restarted a couple of times and then said it could not be updated because of a registry error. Of course, it couldn't but I was foolish enough to try.
After the update failure everything was back to what it was (nothing changed) and, YES, I could still access the marketplace. I think if MS wanted to block us they could have done it already, probably through our IMEI.
I mean the update process was started 'cause it 'saw' the phone as HD7, it even created a back up, downloaded new files and then it stopped and returned everything to its original state.
I think there is no problem with 'detecting'.
Update on the update...
I'm not sure if this is the right place but does this mean an update is available to change my i-Phone to WP7???
Jokes,
Seriously, on the phone update, zune gives an error code
"80180089", and a message that it cannot update
"because your phone registry settings are incorrect"...
DFT, XBoxMod and all the rest of you brilliant chefs out there, does this mean we can update with a few minor (or major) registry changes or does it need a proper cooking??
Edit:
Just searched and found this on the WP7 Pre-update update to allow a better update experience
http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/38712/samsung-omnia-7-broken-update
it seems it may have fncked your phone if you had been able to update, so we're all winners here!!
The update seems to be for hd7 only, I have a Mozart aswell as HD2 and no update is available for that.

I met with MS Mobile reps last week, they confirmed that copy/paste will be in the next big update but nothing about tethering. When I asked specifically they said the ability to do this is there, some phones I guess you have an option by entering a code at startup. ??? They sais this is more of a carrier thing. I think that means carriers don't want it as it cuts down on their data card sales.

in the HD2 WP7 dev section
I'll pass on this one, waiting for the leaked NODO to be developed...
Hello all,
I'm a developer (with less experience) for a company which is developing an app which will be side loaded on devices which are to be distributed. I've read about, and tested some methods with linking Android Market apps to sideloaded apps, provided they have the same signature and .apk file name, but our company does not want market exposure for this app.
My idea is as follows:
1. App checks an ftp server running in some location for a file with version info to see if the current version matches the version on the device.
2. App downloads .apk and relevant data to device
3. App then triggers some sort of "update" which will install the new .apk and replace the necessary data.
Alternatively, what is typically done in this instance when someone wants to update a non-market app? The Amazon App store is an example of a non-market app which updates itself, so I know it's been done before.
How does one go about writing a class which will update the app that it's currently running in? Are there any tutorials or code walk-throughs for this?
Any help from fellow developers is appreciated.
Look at this links:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...o-automatically-update-application-on-android
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2631255/ideas-for-android-application-update
Thank you for the links - I've been toying with code since then.
But wow, it seems there is very little information out there about this . . .
If you don't want to maintain you own update server, you may try this: auto-update-apk.com
Android client is open-source under Apache 2.0 license, so you may see how it works and make any changes, if necessary, before incorporating into your own project or using it as a starting point of your project.
**Update 02/11/2015**
Google made some changes on the back end, so the url I was using "http://m.youtube.com/watch?ajax=1&tsp=1&v={0}&dummy={1}"; now returns a "redirect" message instead of the expected data. I can get it to work, but it will be ugly as I need to now manually parse the info out of the mobile html page.
I am leaving this up as it appears to be still working in other countries.

All,
Here is the official patched Youtube app! Hopefully this will tide everyone over until Google and Microsoft stop fighting!
Special thanks to @AlvinPhilemon for providing the unencrypted xap!
Special thanks to @Topogigi for spurring me on this afternoon.
I am uploading two versions:
1. Youtube_Interop.xap for interop-unlocked devices that can use ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO_FULL
2. Youtube_NoInterop.xap for developer unlocked devices.
If you are having trouble using the "Application Deployment" tool located in the Windows Phone 8 SDK(keep getting an error that says "Error - Deployment optimization failed due to an invalid assembly. Rebuild your source projects and try again."), use the deployment tool that comes with WP8 PowerTools. http://wptools.codeplex.com/
Enjoy and post your results!
Don't forget to say "Thanks!"
**EDIT**
I have updated the versions in this post to include a properly compiled version of "YouTube.TaskAgent.dll" This should take care of any AV warnings with the original version.
This dll controls the live tiles! let me know if they still work.
**EDIT 2* I accidentally uploaded the wrong version of the Youtube_Interop_P2.xap earlier. It has the wrong "YouTube.ViewModel.dll" in it.
***P3 UPDATE***
All, I give you the P3 Update! It includes the following Fixes & Enhancements:
1. Vevo/Encrypted videos should be working for now. (Hopefully Youtube won't update their API for a while lol)
2. I removed that pesky "the content owner did not make this available for mobile" message. (It looked implemented wrong anyways)
3. This version comes with 100% less ads (Felt like "sticking it to the man" lol)
4. COMMENTS now work 100%
***P3.1 UPDATE***
1. "High Quality" mode working again! Fixed all videos default to pulling from m.youtube.com regardless of encryption status.
***P3.2 UPDATE***
1. "High Quality" mode working for ALL VIDEOS INCLUDING ENCRYPTED!!!
Things that still need work:
1. Video Upload is broken still. I will take a look at it as I have time...I am guessing it is a parsing issue. The Interop-Unlocked version may "just work" on an ATIV S for uploads. I need someone to test.
2. I would like to update the signature decryption methods to make it ia bit more "future-proof". IF anyone knows a good way to parse the html5 player, I may give that a shot.
As always, Enjoy and thanks for all the feedback and support!

you can do it for windows phone 7.8?
@Shahar28 @znial It is being flagged as "malware" because I hex-edited a new developer key into the "YouTube.TaskAgent.dll" file. If you want to unzip it, and make your AV check all the files individually, that is the one it will complain about. This was more efficient instead of de-compiling and re-compiling because only one thing needed to be changed. As a byproduct of this, none of the checksums built into the dll match anymore.
@onlinespending what tool are you using to deploy this? I used the built-in "Application Deployment" tool built into the WP8 SDK. I am guessing it is complaining due to what I said above.
@josaya Windows Phone 8 only. Plus you lucky WP7.8 users have plenty of nice youtube clients written by OEMs and other developers, like HTC

Yeah, I'm using the built in Application Deployment as part of the WP8 SDK. I was able to sideload a decrypted swapchat.xap I found, so I can certainly side load other xaps. Is there anyway to decompile and recompile the DLL as you suggested? Would love to get this working.

I just uploaded a new version with the dll properly compiled, instead of hex-edited. Make sure you are installing the "NoInterop" version. Let me know if it works!
@Shahar28 @znial You guys might want to check out this new version and see if the AV warnings go away.

What OS are you on? is it Windows 8.1? I am running windows 7 and deployed it with no problems. maybe it is a VisualStudio update to the deployment tool that is borking things. See if you can deploy it via the Windows Phone Power Tools http://wptools.codeplex.com/
The 2nd version doesn't work on my Ativ: it gives the same error given when G. blocked it.
I re-deployed the 1st. :good:
Edit: the NoInterop_P2 runs properly.
@Topogigi @djadry When I packaged P2 of the InteropUnlock version, I accidentally used the wrong "Youtube.ViewModel.dll". I just updated the OP with the correct version. You should be good to go now
Copying from my previous post:
I made a tool to "force update" my phone (Honor View 10, European/C432 model), and I thought I'd share it in case anybody wants to give it a try.
Notes
It is Windows-only (Specifically Windows 10 (64-bit), build 1809, although it probably works fine for most/all other versions of Windows)
It requires .NET Framework to be installed on your computer. It can be downloaded from here
It might cause some anti-virus programs to flag it due to the nature of the tool (although nothing on VirusTotal detects it as malware)
Currently, a lot of stuff is hard-coded (source code available below), including the path to HiSuite.exe. If the path to your HiSuite installation isn't "C:\Program Files (x86)\HiSuite\HiSuite.exe" (or "C:\Program Files\HiSuite\HiSuite.exe" in the case of 32-bit Windows), the tool won't work
It's currently only supposed to work with the BKL-L09 (C432) model. Do not use this tool if you do not have the BKL-L09 (C432) model
If you are on 32-bit Windows (your HiSuite installation path is "C:\Program Files\HiSuite" instead of "C:\Program Files (x86)\HiSuite"), download the HuaweiUpdaterWin32.7z file. Otherwise, download the regular HuaweiUpdater.7z file
And, of course, please use the tool at your own risk. I'm not responsible if the update somehow ends up breaking your phone.
Usage
Connect your phone to your computer through USB
Before proceeding, make sure HiSuite isn't running. Open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del -> Task Manager or Ctrl+Shift+Escape) and make sure "Huawei PC Suite" (hisuite.exe) isn't running. If it's running, right-click and select "End Task" to kill the process
Run "Launcher.exe" and HiSuite should open
Click on the "Update" button. There should be a red dot on it
Wait for HiSuite to finish installing the update on your phone
Source code can be found here: https://github.com/Smaehtin/HuaweiUpdater

Does it revert your phone to factory setting?
The procedure worked like a charm! I'm on Pie now
All apps and settings stayed untouched, no factory reset.
Works great for the Indian variant:good:

I will try this today. Btw, can you just elaborate what is your approach for this solution? I mean the other Firmware finder solution masks your DNS and then updates the firmware and ROM. 2hat does your solution do? I am not a developer but just wanted to know how does it actually work. If it's too technical or difficult to explain, let it be. Just being curious. Thanks and happy new year dude
Will try tonight and feedback

The way the FunkyHuawei and Firmware Finder method works is by you configuring your network to use their DNS server. A DNS server is what is used on the internet for "resolving" a domain name (like google.com, .xda-developers.com, hicloud.com, etc.) into an IP address. So, when a "client" (either your computer when using HiSuite to check for updates or your phone) asks for the IP address of query.hicloud.com (used for update checking), instead of giving you the IP address of Huawei's update server like a normal DNS server would, it gives you the IP address of FunkyHuawei/Firmware Finder's update server.
So now, whenever you do an update check, you're not talking with Huawei's update server but a "fake" server, but your phone/computer isn't aware of this (well ...), and when your phone/computer asks this server if updates are available and if your phone is allowed to install the update, the server will just say "Yeah, here's the update, go ahead and install it".
My method is similar in some ways. What it does is "hooking" the HiSuite process. This allows my tool to intercept and alter communication between HiSuite and Huawei's update server, and by spoofing some requests/responses, it acts somewhat in the same way a "fake" server would. So, when HiSuite asks the update server if there are any updates available for your phone, the update server will say "Nope, no new updates at the moment" - but my tool will intercept that and overwrite the response with a "Yep, here's the update" instead.
Hopefully that explains things

Thanks for this great explaination. I think i understood now. Why don't you include this in your initial posts? Its a nice learning for noobs like me. Just a suggestion. I feel there is very little *educating* material for Honor devices like the one you told about, or about rooting, or downgrading etc., at least for view 10. Unlike OnePlus devices. So I feel this might educate people who are just enthusiast, non technical and want to know few things.
Btw, the tool didn't work for my Indian model. Guess, because I am on EMUI 9.0 beta already. But thanks for the information

No luck. Tried 2-3 times, even made the changes to FF DNS so that firmware is approved but nothing on hisuite.

works great mate! thanks for your work and sharing!
I came across this android app from voguemaster which will download a zip and the extract the zip to update the android kodi files, essentially installing a new 'build'.
Now I understand that a lot of the addons etc from the build it currently downloads are probably not supported and I'm not interested in that anyway. I wanted to change it to update my own build (without unsupported addons) for my friends, so when I make an update they can update as well without me having to pop over their house with my USB stick.
Unfortunately, although I worked out what to change in the app via Android Suite to link to my 'build', i wasn't able to sign and pack the apk because the gradle was out of date - and then I had some warnings about some code being out of date as well. I guess that's to be expected from an apk that's had little or no support since 2015.
My question is, would anyone be interested/able to fork this apk so it will work? I had a go myself but I really don't have a clue what I'm doing beyond the very basics!
