I wrote an article earlier about Rafael Rivera’s 12 hour Hack-a-thon, it was my hope that he would succeed in his self made challenge, unforunately for us, he was not successful as yet, but has let us know the challenge timer may have expired but the task will still be worked on, perhaps by more individuals. I asked Rafael for a quote to add to the story and he said the following…
We received a tip from ‘dotcompt‘ telling us of the latest homebrew custom rom for the HTC HD7, It offers 8107 os with DeepShining Marketplace to obtain and update your Homebrew apps.
I told you about dotcompt releases Deepshining custom rom for HTC HD7 earlier and I happened upon a thread over on XDA-Devs which spoke of Team DFT’s custom rom for the Samsung Omnia7. It looks like it is nearing completion as its in the ‘testing’ phase (or beta testing). I saw a post from a tester of the rom and the above pic was attached to his small comment…
Following the news of update 8107 being reserved for carriers that request it, I was a little frustrated to say the least,I wanted to find a work-around and in my search I found this thread on xda-dev that listed the download locations to the official update files on Microsoft’s servers, and I remembered that xboxmod & YukiXDA had released a WP Update Cab Sender batch file that uses the WPUpdate.exe file that Zune updates your phone with, so here’s a tutorial that will enable you to update your phone to the latest version (7.10.8107) with a few clicks.

It seems that Khaled Salameh has discovered a bug with Windows Phone that could cause serious problem for Windows Phone users. Its is not know if this affect all Windows Phone users at this stage but winrumors does test this out on a Samsung and HTC device and it would seem both of them are affected by the bug, the effect of which causes Windows Phone to reboot and disables the message hub and it’s said that the user will not be able to open up the messaging hub unless they do a hard reset. All it takes is a SMS to be sent to Windows Phone ( using a specific set of text ).
Thankfully Khaled Salameh and WinRumors have not made this particular info public and its a good thing , imagine the trouble if something like this were made public.
