Windows Phone 7.8 WideTile Image not work

I have tried both solutions below and they both have the same result. the tile is created but the image doesn't appear. I am able to set the title and other properties but when I use this solution it doesn't work. I have verified the image path and that it was in the build. Any Ideas?

public static void UpdateFlipTile(
            Uri wideBackgroundImage, 
            Uri wideBackBackgroundImage)
{
   if (IsTargetedVersion)
   {
  // Get the new FlipTileData type.
  Type flipTileDataType = Type.GetType("Microsoft.Phone.Shell.FlipTileData, Microsoft.Phone");

  // Get the ShellTile type so we can call the new version of "Update" that takes the new Tile templates.
  Type shellTileType = Type.GetType("Microsoft.Phone.Shell.ShellTile, Microsoft.Phone");

  // Loop through any existing Tiles that are pinned to Start.
  foreach (var tileToUpdate in ShellTile.ActiveTiles)
  {
     // Look for a match based on the Tile's NavigationUri (tileId).

        // Get the constructor for the new FlipTileData class and assign it to our variable to hold the Tile properties.
        var UpdateTileData = flipTileDataType.GetConstructor(new Type[] { }).Invoke(null);

        // Set the properties. 
        SetProperty(UpdateTileData, "WideBackgroundImage", wideBackgroundImage);
        SetProperty(UpdateTileData, "WideBackBackgroundImage", wideBackBackgroundImage);


        // Invoke the new version of ShellTile.Update.
        shellTileType.GetMethod("Update").Invoke(tileToUpdate, new Object[] { UpdateTileData });

            break;

      }
   }

}

private static void SetProperty(object instance, string name, object value)
{
   var setMethod = instance.GetType().GetProperty(name).GetSetMethod();
   setMethod.Invoke(instance, new object[] { value });
}

And I also tried this solution

    if (Environment.OSVersion.Version >= new Version(7, 10, 8858))
{
    var tile = ShellTile.ActiveTiles.First();
    var flipTileData = new FlipTileData
            {
                BackgroundImage = new Uri("/Icons/MediumLogo.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute),
                WideBackgroundImage = new Uri("/Icons/WideLogo.png", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute),
            };
    tile.Update(flipTileData);
}

Are the image sizes correct? Did you set the images' build property to "Content"? Is it maybe necessary to set all properties in FlipTileData?
