Dashed hopes

16 different English packs alone. Not to mention 20 different Spanish packs. Think of all the space that could be free'd up without all those different packs. If only....
Thanks for getting my hopes up! ;-)

Mr Rubino,

I had two questions for you. Do you think you can check, if on the samsung focus s that you used, you're still able to add the japanese qwerty keyboard post 8107 update? I'm just wondering because i want to do the update, but i really need the keyboard (for my japanese classes in school).

Also, it seems like you guys have a lot of phones around. I know in the article you said that the process takes about 15 minutes, most of it being the backup time, but do you think you can check to see if it's possible to rollback the phone to 7720? If i can roll back my phone to 7720 for warranty purposes i think i, and others, would feel a lot better about doing the upgrade.

Yahoo...hmmm...I mean Bing! Yes I got the update to my phone and all my family's phones. Total of 4 updates with this article and they all worked great. Only had to download 5 language packs for our Samsung Focus phones. Took only about 20 minutes per phone. Thank you so much for this. Now I have to gloat over at the AT&T official support page!

Got my Samsung Focus S up to date now thanks Daniel for the nice tutorial.

HTC Titan on ATT (7720)
Having a werid issue here. So after pressing B in the batch file, phone reboots, then goes into what looks like the backup mode, then immediately reboots back into the OS. In Windows I get an error that a Zune driver did not install properly, and the batch files says this:

Error:
Update device 1ce59e76 - d13a4037 - 6410c016 - 77c5cba8 Complete with error code
: 801812C1, error message: A driver for your phone needs to be updated and could
n't be installed in time.

I'm looking throug XDA but nothing really has turned up. Good news is my phone still works, but the update process just won't take.

 

[Dave Blake]

Are you sure that the file you are running the update in looks like this:

Do you have the latest version of Zune and make sure your not running in guest mode on Zune. Also make sure that Zune connects to your device before you close it. Just let it sync your device before you close it.

I do have all the files. I'm doing the process on my Samsung Focus and it's going through the backup, and now installing updates right now. I'll try the Zune sync though for the Titan, thanks for the suggestion.

Also, thanks Dan for putting up the tutorial!

Update: Samsung Focus updated just fine. Trying Titan again now.

Update 2: No dice on the Titan after everything suggested. Think I'll call it a night and check forums again tomorrow. Thanks!

Thank you..Easy to follow and update..

Got the same error message has P.Ashton

I had to install the WPSupportTools before it would update my Focus Flash. After the SuppportTool was installed . Then was able to rerun the process and CAB update to 8107 and everything appears to be working..:

For x64: http://download.microsoft.com/downl...7-8E73-CE08CCE07AAB/WPSupportToolv2-amd64.msi

For x86: http://download.microsoft.com/downl...287-8E73-CE08CCE07AAB/WPSupportToolv2-x86.msi

Looks like that is working on my Titan. Just installed it and it's backing up right now. I hope it works. Thanks!

Update: Works! Thanks again!

Well ****! I really don't experience the keyboard issue but once in a Blue Moon, but if everyone else is swimming, guess I'll have to dive in too. There is a "rush" with the stress involved that Daniel mentioned in the article. On the heels of flashing the DFT ROM on my Arrive, my Titan feels a little neglected. Thanks for the info to everyone who contributed.

YAY, after installing the support tool everything is running smoothly, so far.... Thanks guys!!!! Running the unfortunately discontinued HTC Titan...going to try my wife's 1st gen Focus next, any input on the necessary language packs?

Got the same error on my HTC Arrive and this solution worked like a champ. Update ran without any errors after installation of the support tools.

Thanks again!

 

[brad4560]

thanks to all for posting this, might get froggy and try this on my lumia 710 on t-mo.

if anyone already has tried this on the 710 let me know!

edit - after sifting through the comments on the main article page, this may not work for gen2 devices?

 

[firecop42]

I have tried my Titan 3 times and get this error each time:
Update device d9426169-5f4a20a9-8d61a6f4-d3efed87 Complete with error code: 80070026, error message: An unexpected error has occurred.
I appears that the backup was done but no updates occurred.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Frank

UPDATE. Ran it again and this time just selected the option to instal the cabs without the backup and it updated. 8107 is installed. Thanks Daniel and WPCentral.

Been lurking WPcentral for a month now since I got the phone...high time i join in...

and I'm having issues with this updating process...did tons of googling and such and I'm getting error 80070013, and it appears to be a problem with my Titan's bootloader. From what I've read there is a way to fix it, I have to do a hard reset to a shipped 7720 that's online. BUT I download the file. The thread on XDA that has the file in it, when i try to download it, its from a file sharing site that keeps saying it has no free download slots left.

Can anyone help me out? Does someone have the USA english 7720 rom for a HTC titan?

That did the trick. I'm now upgraded. Thanks.

can anyone that has a non daily driver phone, or simply doesn't mind spending the extra time see if they can roll back to 7720 after doing the 8107 update? it'd be really helpful i think and could be added to an update to the main post if people know that your phone can be rolled back in case a warranty situation requires it, or if it's the avenue that must be used to get future updates.

I don't know for certain, but after I updated my phone this evening I plugged my phone back into the computer and there is a setting to restore my phone to it's previous version.
Hope this helps. Now, whether or not it works, I haven't tried so I can't tell you for sure 100%.
