[Q] Install WP7 on LG WP7 PreRelease verion? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I bought a LG Windows Phone 7 Pre Release version that has the not final version of Windows Phone 7 installed.
The download of content via Marketplace is not possible.
I talk about the device is visible here: http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/lg-windows-phone-7-oem-apps-dumped-and-available/
Is it possible to install the actual/final version of windows phone 7 on this device?
Thanks

I also have this device (LG GW910). Current Firmwire version is 7003 (looks like a debug version, but stills fully functional), but zune hadn't founding any updates (i tell about yesterday's update).

if it is really build 7003 then it looks like the update will be for you to .
if you look inside the update then you will see that the build number 7003 is there to , so just wait a few day's and see if it work (the update is pulled by MS and will be re released later)

How did you watch inside? Using sniffer, i've downloaded 4127275_2c13fa19e584b0b758fd2c4396876559ba291b63.cab, which constains a txt file, but i didn't found anything useful there.

We all have build 7003 on our Panthers. I haven't gotten the update yet either. Unfortunately I think all we can do is sit and wait.

Mb carrier is blocking an update? About dialog says that my carrier is AT&T though i live outside USA, and my phone isn't locked (MTS' and Beeline's cards work well).

I was wondering about that, but I don't know. Since we're unlocked and unbranded, I thought we'd be the first to receive the update.
I guess a good question is, are there people out there with Samsung Taylor devices that also have no gotten it?

Looks like they've got an update, because there is no topics about it.
P.S. How to change my f*ing nickname?!

Good point, and I don't think you can change it.

look here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=963431 "
it is a .cab and in that .cab are a few .cab.pku files (look at the name of the files and you will see what I mean)
to open the cab.pku you just remove .pku and then extract .

Same here, but now I'm having a huge problem. Everytime I slide out my keyboard, my screen dims to an unreadable level. I've never dropped it so I'm hoping that it's not a power cable problem.

I have a pre-release focus, it's unlocked and no branding it seems. When I check for an update on Zune it says my phone is up to date 7.0 (6512), but no....it's not up to date at all. I wonder if I will be able to update?

Just read on Microsoft news that were due a big update today,so just done a scan and indeed there were 13 updates ranging from flash to a hardware update but by mistake I press the update button so I didn't actually see what all the rest of the patches actually did it came in at about 120mb anyone got any info as mine currently downloading
I didn't get the "System Firmware Update - 12/11/2012" until after installing the other updates so be sure to scan for new updates a second time after rebooting.

Can you see if you are still able to lock screen rotation via the brightness menu?
[UPDATE]
For some reason my screen got stuck in one direction, and the rotation lock button also disappeared. A quick reboot and she's buzzing along.

You still can.
Just applied the update, not noticing any difference yet, except that IE10 asked me if I wanted to re-apply recommended safety settings, to which I said no, because I have turned off MS's flash whitelist so I can use the Napster website.
Haven't noticed any difference to tell you the truth, in fact mine seems a little slower
mine is a lot faster... placebo maybe? but i bet it is faster..

I am on a VIVO Tab RT and I noticed faster performance on my tablet as well.
I'm still unable to connect to my TV with a third-party MicroHDMI-HDMI cable, so I guess I was expecting Microsoft to correct this issue...
Can't say I notice any difference in performance either.

This dump is actually newer than the software on my phone. It's at 21.21.12 , I haven't been prompted for an update yet. I'm holding out in anticipation of Sunshine V3.0 to see if anything happens.

jcase has already stated that 3.0 is not intended to support Moto phones. I think it's for the HTC phones only. Not to say the Moto phones may unintentionally benefit from the update, nor that there isn't a "version 4.0" coming later on, so I agree with you on waiting to take any updates whatsoever. Please do post all over every Turbo forum thread if 3.0 works when it's released. I mean, borderline spam the entire forum to let people know, lol.
I was planning to wait to get the phone until an exploit is found, but with updates coming out-of-the-box it may not be long before the stock of phones at 21.21.12 are gone and stores start stocking the phone with 21.21.15 already installed, so I'll be getting a 64 GB tomorrow afternoon.
I find it very odd that there is no information online as far as what the .15 update affects (supposedly not the VoLTE update).

I rocked .12 for the first 8 hours, then finally updated to .15 - right after updating to .15 a number of updates not available previously in Play became available for the Camera app, looked to be darn near every Verizon app, and a few other tid-bits... only thing of real note was the Motorola Camera app getting an update that didn't exist prior.
The camera also showed better performance with the update, especially in the neighborhood of noise in shadows. As well, battery life seemed better, but that could be the phone getting a proper charge / battery level reading.
The 15 update fixed my IMS issues I was having. On 12 my IMS wouldn't register but on 15 it works flawlessly.

Try texting someone nearby. See how long it takes for you to receive a message. In my tests it took around a minute to receive a text without IMS and it took mere seconds with IMS.

The main reason I need IMS is at Badger football games at camp Randall, the legacy spectrum is over saturated and won't allow me to send SMS without IMS. The LTE network can handle it however.

New Android 8.0 (Oreo) come to our watches!

?Support for 7 new countries / languages
?Plus more e.g. notification channels, battery saving background limits
I'm curious, when the new Android will come to our watches.
It turns out that the update is not sure... Damn, Google! https://support.google.com/androidwear/thread/25693?hl=en

the watch is a 2017 model and is an almost high end watch so we dont need to be worried much...
Rumor that that watch will not receive Oreo. That's sad. It was just released last summer I believe.
i hope they change swipe left (or right) to something else, doesnt make sense to assigned 2 swipes - left and right - for 1 same function (change face)

The update was pulled due to a game booster issue which caused games to appear as a black screen. I'm sure they will fix it and re-release the update soon.

Damn... Is it working now? Any fix you found? My game booster isn't working like most people who updated, but at least the games are working after reseting Game booster.
I uninstalled the updates on YouTube and my WiFi started working. I then went on YouTube and updated it. All is good again. Phone appears to work much better and battery life is improved ?
Anyone have the OTA file?
Bueller? This HAS to be out there somewhere for U.S. users for RP1....??
My Camera APP crashes all the time now after the update. What Gives??? Is this purely a 9 thing or did Razer fix the Game Booster, and break the Camera APP???
