The 7.8 update has not been released. Tango (7.10.8773) is the latest update. If you want to update to that without losing interop then read the first two posts here.

Thx sab742!
I've read on different sites that it could be 7.8 update... So lets wait for the last one.

OTA finally, they are pretty slow.
Are you really going to limit your device with that garbage? Samsung and att have no idea what they are doing.

I think you just answered my concerns....
I did the update through Kies mini when it first came available and then 2 days ago did AIO tool and put on Phoenix ultimate so everything still worked for me. Odin, CWM, download mode....
Not Dev-related and other than there's about 6 threads with this same "news," if you had done some research beforehand you would know about the 3e recovery and rooting issues.
I tried bt feel bad so m back to diff rom

HoneyStreak Install

So I have a dell streak 7 and I am tired of waiting for dell to release the update I am not all that great with romming my devices. I am on a Mav and I was wondering is there an easy way to flash HoneyStreak on my device?
Thanks
Tanner
Whats a mav? Do you mean Mac? Have you tried using BootCamp?
Yes Sorry I mean Mac And I do have Windows Windows on here as well... Does SuperoneClick Install roms as well as rooting the device

Anyone know if this might cause any problems if I want to root later on? (total n00b question, I know).
I heard somewhere that there was an issue with rooting even after installing the very first update most of us were offered when we turned the phone on

I'm pretty sure that updating the firmware shouldn't affect the ability to root.

if you put anything KL* on the phone you wont be able to use the root methods given in the dev section if you use the OTA updates
you need to flash via mobile opdin and keep root if you want to upgrade and keep root at the same time, providing you have root

Installed these updates:
7.10.8779.8

Thanks for the tip... Works for me as well. Doing 7.10.8779.8 update right now...
Edit: It has been updated and right now running official WP 7.8... WOW...
Just pulled out the old HD7 and managed to get it to update as well. Maybe this will give it a bit of an extended life and I can pass it on to a family member.
Cheers for the heads up everyone.

May I know how exactly can I do this? Sorry for being ignorant...
I am using official 7.10.8107.79, never tried home brewed rom.

This does not mean, that you are going to use home brewed ROM, but exactly opposite way. If you update it this way, you will get official updates through Zune.
Just do what is mentioned in the update post:
"Connect to computer, place in Airplane Mode, check for updates and quickly disable Internet connection."
I have just pulled the network cable after 2-3 sec. after update check started and waited. After several tries (~2-10) Zune told me, that there is an update available. Than you just reconnect the cable and run the update.
Repeat for each update. Than you have official updates installed.
There could be maybe more updates in your case, because you have only 7.10.8107.79 version, but at the end you should end up with official 7.10.8858.136. :fingers-crossed:
How it works?
I'm using custom 7.8 ROM but it's slow when opening apps.
This forced update is because of Microsoft, not HTC....having said that, it seems to be regional but I will try to force my USA phone today...

It seems to me a bit smoother. No problem with performance at all - it is fast as the Mango/Tango version. But it is only my opinion.
I have a T-Mo US HD7 that is unlocked. It's running the latest OS stock. I tried to force update it many times but only got the error 'Make sure youre connected to the internet'. Can someone please help me out with this?

Thanks for the info.
To update from custom 7.8 I need to:
1. update to official 7.8 ROM using Zune
2. re-unlock to be able to use unsupported apps - how?
?

Avoid that annoying trick and try this: http://www.wpcentral.com/tool-make-installing-windows-phone-78-update-easier
Just download, install it, it will ask you to install another flashing program when u start it, the install everything step by step and u will get it quickly... its was easier for me than the Zune "trick"...!

[Q] Lolipop for Mini2??

I just contacted the HTC Support and they told me that only One M8 and One M7 will get Lolipop. So i thought mini and mini 2 will get it, too.
Does someone know something about it?? Or was the support right and we will not get Android 5.x?
Yes the mini 2 will get android 5.0 for sure i get information feom Labtoofer.
But it will come very late this year maybe may or june.
And not htc eye experience for our device !!!

So we won't get the most usefull features, such as Face Tracking, but this silly Face Fusion.
Yes our only hope is a kernel ported from desire 816.. the most close to htc one mini 2 . . But we don't have kernel developpers
I think if we get Android 5 our biggest problem is how to get root. I readed that it is more difficult to get root on Android 5, and after here are not so many developers, i'm not sure we'll get our phones on the latest Software rooted

Don't see hows is that a problem. if you install superuser before, the update wont remove it. Also im testing Android L in nexus 7 and root works fine.
I don't think it will be a problem .
My only desire is get a kernel developpers to enable the feature of Eye camera foe our device
My only wish is to get root without htc-dev
