2011-08-01
hello everyone this is Anton denied from pocketnow.com and today we're going to show you how to get windows for mangled beta-2 on any Windows Phone regardless if you are a registered developer or not and we have already posted about this in this how to update to Windows from seven mango beta for all but at back at that time it was beta 1 now Microsoft has released beta to those who are on beta 1 will get automatically on beta 2 if they are running the new zoom version which is the beta but if you haven't taken the plunge yet and you have a Windows Phone 7 we'll show you how to update your Windows Phone 7 mango beta 2 so let's get to it alright so the procedure is rather easy you will need one Windows Phone 7 which doesn't have to be developer unlocked you don't have to have a developer account you will need the Windows Phone support tools either 32 or 64-bit I will post a link on this article how to get them and you will need your zoom player with which you can update your phone so first of all prerequisite number one is to have a Windows Phone which is running NoDo or the build right after node oh and this film right here it's an lg optimus 7 running build 73 92 which is the security update post node oh and we have already installed the Windows Phone support tools and we have downloaded the small application which Mable's you to download the beta 2 so let's get to it if you have the aforementioned please make sure your phone is connected to your computer and your zoom player is closed then we will go to the downloaded batch application which is called update that b8e it's a batch file and run it in administrator mode if you have Windows Vista or Windows 7 and it will do its thing read carefully the instructions and press any key to continue and once again and it will start downloading some updates and it will automatically make a backup of your phone right now it's rebooting the lg optimus 7 and while it will reboot and as long as it will take we will just cut out of the video but return just in time so there we are we are rebooted we are in a special mode in which Windows Phone connects to your PC it's installing the drivers as you can see it will install the LG 900 driver which is ready to use and it's right now creating a backup now what's really important is that you should save it in a safe place now this backup will allow you to return from the beta to nodo and get back to the official track once Microsoft releases the official mango update so people back up off the backup of the backup for the actual states which is the no state of your phone we are halfway there and the backup which this batch application makes will be saved on your local drive on its root in a folder called pre mango state so make sure to say that I cannot stress it once the backup is created as you can see it will go to the next step and will apply some updates and then reboot the phone installing the update now if you will not see anything in the status here but you will see it on your phone screen that there is a a status indicator and it's currently working whatever you do make sure you have plenty of juice in your battery and do not disconnect your phone until the procedure is finished once the update is completed it took approximately a 80.5 seconds it will automatically reboot the phone there you go and you need to press one more key to continue now the backup will be copied to that certain pre mango State the zoo will fire up and you will see your phone connected right here let's check on the pre mango state to folder this is the folder which keeps your node Oh update please back it up in a safe place now the batch has finished you can close it but we will just minimize it and we'll go to zoom phone let's see we should be running the same build as before 7392 that's true and right now you will go into the settings and check for updates an update is available for your phone let me just try to zoom in on that there you go and it's built 7403 it asks you whether you want to update or not and of course we want to do that so we'll just click on update update now it's currently downloading the update it updated the Zeus after meanwhile let's fire up zoom go back to phone settings update and update update now ok so it downloaded the update it transferred it to the device is currently rebooting it will end it will boot into that special update mode and which it will update the builds to 7403 we'll just wait for the update screen and we'll cut it and get back when the update is complete there we go and it's installing the updates and it's almost finished still updating at the end of the update process it should restart your phone ok this took some time approximately 5 to 6 minutes but it should be all ready soon and it finished it will currently reboot the phone which is step 8 out of 9 rebooting just remember this is not the manual beta-2 it's the mango build 7403 whoops sorry for that let's get back still rebooting windows from animation and we're back successful update you can now disconnect your phone we will not disconnect we will check the build number just to make sure your the settings about more info and let's have it here focus 73-70 403 okay so this is where the fun part starts as you can see there is another update available which is beta 77 12 meanwhile let's check what version do we have on the zoom software we have 4.7 1404 okay let's get back to phone update this is what we are looking for Windows Phone 7 mango beta 2 still checking that's right build 77 12 update and the same procedure once again update now is downloading the update there we go download it now it's transferring the updates to the phone and then it should reboot again in that special update mode to apply the update and right now it's rebooting the phone and we are back with the reboot we have the boot logo and soon we will have the special update mode right there and it will start installing Windows Phone 7 mango beta to build 77 12 we'll come back once the update this close to finishing this process can take a little bit longer but it's working if your device seems to not respond or it seems to not do anything at all just do not disconnect it just let it do its thing because it's working as you can see it's currently updating and will come back just in a couple of minutes we are around halfway there so you need to on side just a little bit for a couple of minutes and we'll check back in a couple of minutes again we are getting pretty pretty close to finishing the stage it should be followed by a reboot and upon which you will be able to see Windows Phone 7 Mango beta 2 on your Windows Phone 7 handset let's just wait a couple of more minutes to see that and we're back for the first time first boot new Windows Phone logo let's see just step nine out of nine completing updates it takes a little bit more than usual and here we go phone is ready waiting for the zoom software to be ready - meanwhile we can check it says success your phone has been updated let's see if we can focus that's right let's check on the build there we go build 77 12 Windows Phone 7.5 let's just leave finish and you will run into this read error the zoom software can't access important data on your device try disconnecting and reconnecting them this is what we'll do just to demonstrate something we just plugged it back in and it requires you to update to get the update click OK can't find media for installation package this is an error which is normal because Windows Phone 7.5 mango beta to build 77 12 well lets a tongue twister because the latest beta 2 isn't supported by zoo software which we had previously installed we will have to install a private beta of the zoo software itself so for that we will have to install our current zoom player right here we want to uninstall it asks to disconnect the phone we just did that and it's been hung installed and this is where you install the Zune for public trial beta we will install the 64-bit version we accept install this should take just under one minute it's quite about finished installation is complete we can now close it and let's plug in the phone again it's installing a driver ready to use it's connecting to the phone welcome to Zune we'll go to the setup process and here it is our phone running Windows Phone 7 mango beta 2 with zoom software version 4 point 8 point 2098 so this has been a tutorial on how to get windows from 7.5 mango beta to build 77 12 to her Windows Phone 7 to any Windows
