OK, so I own an Omnia 7, it was originally on Orange. I was able to update it to pre-nodo, however I had to change registry for MobileOperators to 000-88 and then use the VPN trick to get nodo. There I got my nodo as well.
I reflashed my ROM with XENJK1 and then DBTJK1 and I was able to force NODO on both the ROMS until two weeks back.
Recently a few of my games wont run so I reflashed again with DBTJK1, I got my pre-Nodo right away. But now, the problem is that no matter what trick I used before, nothing absolutely works any more, not the VPN and not even the Wifi disconnect.
It seems like all doors to NODO are shut, so is it that my phone is ****ed to Pre-NODO. Having said this, I have been trying about a week every day to get NODO and using all the tricks except chevronupdater due to its suspicious repute, but no success.
Can anyone explain or help?
I read somewhere that Microsoft closed that disconnect trick, I'm not 100% sure about that though.
I haven't been able to get Nodo either. (DTMJJ6)

DTMJJ6, hmm. So, yours seems to be on Deutsche Telecom, if so then have you received pre NoDo. If you may please let me know the status of your ROM.
Just use chevron updater, i used it for pre-nodo and nodo on my hd7 and after that zune popped up with an htc update (that i even wasn't getting with an official nodo i had before) so i totally don't see that not serviciable state that MS advertised.
I used chevronupdater on my HD7, worked a charm, I had no problems and have received updates from HTC after updating to NoDo

Seems like that is just some fluke from MS. Many thanks for the encouragement mates, I shall do the chevron thing later tomorrow.

I unbranded my Focus and did the no-do patch a month ago then rebranded it to ATT-US but now zune doesn't tell me that there's an update though I haven't received the Focus Firmware.
I've been searching this forum and didn't find an answer so I'm just making sure I haven't found a way around it and will have to restore my phone.
Are you sure you're rebranded to ATT-US ?
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Rebrand it and Zune will notice you.
how do you rebrand it?
I would like to know this as well. I can't run samsungregistry to re-brand the phone. am I forced to do a phone reset?
How did you unbrand it?

I'm very sure I rebranded it for sure. I don't think there is a way to run the registry.xap after nodo is there?

You can still side-load .xaps (like the registry editor) as long as your device is still dev. unlocked. IF, however, you lost your unlock there isn't a way to "jailbreak" NoDo with the Chevron tool.
One option is to use Zune on your PC to roll back the firmware using the backup Zune created during your first NoDo update. This version (maybe .7004??) will be unlockable with Chevron. Doing this will revert your phone back to the state at the time of the first update (you'll loose new app data, personal data, and have to redownload new apps.)
Once you're dev. unlocked you will be able to go through the update process to NoDo without losing the unlock. So you will have a dev unlocked NoDo. This process will probably restore the ATT-US branding, but now with an unlocked device you can brand it to whatever you want!
I'm sure the update is being released in waves so be patient. I have a device that already had NoDo on it and I received the samsung update immediately, but my buddy with a stock 7004 version still hasn't received the update yet.
Getting error C1010007 ever since my first attempt to upgrade. I got the notification on 4/19 and have tried several times, on 2 different laptops, and it gets to step 7 of 10 of the process and got to 68% the first 4 times, then 72% one time, then 55% the last time before it drops the connection with my phone and stops and throws the error.
I've deleted EVERYTHING on the phone ... music, pics, apps ... and same thing. I've used various USB cables including the original, and no success. About the only thing left is to hard reset and I REALLY hate to do that because most people aren't having issues.
I am really not liking this at all!
If you already deleted everything, What's the hurt to do a hardreset? In fact, a lot ppl spent days even weeks try to get the update working (on a Samsung phone) and still ended up with a hard reset and solves the problem. Re-setting up your phone probably won't take days you spent on experimenting already.
Just wondering if anyone has had this problem. I've resetted the phone and still cant get it to update
The only Focus that hasn't received NoDo update is hardware rev 1.4. AT&T is still testing the new firmware that will work with rev 1.4 hardware.
To check your rev number, power down and take the battery out. It is printed on the label underneath the battery.
Most of us are on older rev 1.3 hardware.
Im on rev 1.3, no firmware update though I'm running the latest software update...
no luck here either
Lol I didn't check update b4 I posted, this was for nodo
In a bit of a mess right now and can't figure out whats going on.
I bought a Samsung Focus and unlocked it and updated it to NoDo before its release using the timing trick.
BUT I reformatted it afterwords and it locked back up and I ALSO got the notification from Microsoft that I could update to NoDo when it was officially released for the Focus (though I already had NoDo). I connected it to Zune and got the official release and everything has great.
Now, my understanding was that after having done all this, my phone was back to normal and eligible to get official updates.
But I have yet to get a notification for 7392? When I connect it to Zune, it says my phone phone is already up to date with 7390.
SO, in conclusion, I would like to do either of the following 2 things:
1. Be able to get 7392, the latest release
OR
2. Roll my phone back to pre-NoDo and dev unlock it again and wait for some other work-around to surface. (I can't restore my phone using Zune because the computer I used has been since reformatted. Had I known, I would not have done that. Doh!)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
ATT hasn't released it yet. You either wait till they do, or unbrand your phone to 000-88. If you're on a focus, on nodo, not unlocked, and don't have a pre-nodo backup to revert to, you'll be waiting for ATT to release it.

Thank you munkey. I was confused because I saw some Focus owners got it already. Also, since my phone has NoDo, is locked and no backup, I can't rebrand? Thats not good. Also, is there any other way for me to roll back? Thanks
The only current option for rolling back a focus is the Zune backup. I've seen some talk of using someone else's backup, but have not read any success. Also, I know there are people working on a nodo unlocker, but nothing has come from that yet either. I have also read about some ROM's for the focus, but again, there is no confirmed success there. You can pay for a legit dev account through Microsoft, or attempt to get a free student dev account. Both of these will unlock ur phone, but TBH, it's not really worth the effort just to get 7392. Now, for sideloading and access to reg edits, it may be worth it

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.
I did manage to get it unlocked by signing up for a developer account as a student. A very long and tedious process, but I'm glad I did it. The main reason I did it is so I can sideload apps, get custom ringtones, and just tinker around with my phone.
Still no idea how to get 7392 though.
Install the SAMSUNGRegistry Xap, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910911
to edit this registry path:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
enter the "value" 000-88
select "STRING" not "DWORD"
press "Write"
connect to Zune, and it should prompt you with the update
if you want, you can return to the ATT branding by repeating the process, but writing ATT-US
EDIT:there is no space in "MobileOperator" the forum does that for some reason
Right now I'm 7390 but I just received a new update message what will the new update change?

I wasn't trying to be dismissive or rude. I didn't have a confident and complete answer myself, so I googled it to get your answer, but there were so many links with lots of info, and I was on my phone, I figured it was easier/better if you read through them yourself.
I'm glad cookie found a suitable link for you.
Oh, and btw, it's a cumulative update, so if you don't have nodo, it will install that too. Worth a mention in case someone is holding off on nodo for whatever reason.

7392
First of all, I apologize for bumping an old thread up. This is my first post here, and I think I might be in a bit of a pinch.
I updated to NoDo using the Hungarian VPN method when it was first published. Unfortunately for me I also carrier unbranded the registry of my device and neglected to apply the "prevent re-lock" tool before updating, rolling back and updating again once the official release became available. My phone hasn't since displayed any update prompts and Zune shows it to be up-to-date (7390). If I connect to Marketplace via WiFi only my carrier's exclusive apps do not display. This leads me to believe that carrier branding is somehow instrumental in acquiring updates.
Is my device now in a permanent state of flux? Exactly how does Windows Phone authenticate to the update server via Zune? I am asking only because I don't want to roll back to the last available backup image to get the most recent update. I first had to do this to obtain the official NoDo release and lost a bunch of apps and settings in the process. What can I do?
There's a rumor floating around that the Mango update has been released on the HD7S.....apparently though its not true.
How can I just get Mango now?
I've heard those running 7712 can upgrade to official Mango now.
Is there anyway to do this now?
My phone is developer unlocked. I've got a student app hub account, but I don't think I can get the betas?
Thanks in advance (from me and all those who are desperate for Mango)
Which version of OS are you running?
There is a method to force the update on your phone, not sure it would work with you or you have tried it, but here goes anyway. (I used on my HD7 two weeks ago)
Plug your phone and sync it with Zune.
From Settings -> Phone -> Update.
It will check if there is an official update for you, if it shows an update then cheers!
If not:
1- Click Linking button above Update.
2- Click Update button again, and quickly disable your Network adapter (Or unplug the wire)
If it shows an update for you then Hurray! But in case it doesn't show try to repeat the previous steps, but with changing the timing of disabling your Internet connection.
Sometimes it happened from first try, one it took me ~15 times :|
After it shows an update is there for you, re-enable your Internet connection and click update.
Hope this helps in your case, don't know anyone with HD7S to ask him if he tried this method.
I know about the force-update method. Thanks for trying to help.
The issue is, the update for the HD7S isn't delivering, and the force-update only works when the update is already on the servers.
From what I know, only those with 7712 (Mango Beta 2) or RTM can update to the official Mango (7720). But I'm not sure how I would get a hold of Beta 2 or RTM.
Oh and I'm running 7390
There is a guide somewhere in the forums to get Mango Beta 2, there is also another method which forces Mango ISV.
Hmm if you can sideload apps try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287505
Try looking these threads.
But honestly I think you should wait a bit longer if you don't want to mess around with your phone, I believe the update for HD7S should be somewhere around the corner.
Thanks! I'm going to check it out tonight and see if that works. Maybe the official is out.
How do you like w7 so far?
Don't other with the update procedure above. Just read this easy way to get the update: http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/how_to_get_mango_beta_2_for_nondevelopers-07-31-11
This takes you to Mango beta 2 which can be update via Zune Software to Mango RTM.

I really like WP7, for me I really like the usability of the phone and the experience of using it.
My only issue with it is that it doesn't support Arabic (but got used to that since the day of WM6.0)

Yes this was the first procedure I talked about, didn't remember the topic name though
True, I remember when the iPhone didn't support arabic...it was a huge deal.
I'm guessing you're arab? I can read and write arabic, but I'm no arab. Maybe you can tell from my username here.
Anyways, I guess that trick used to work, but I don't think it works with the new Zune software. No one commenting recently has gotten it to work...
I guess I'll wait it out....but that new iPhone/iOS 5 looks too good

Microsoft has now released Mango for the HTC HD7S: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-schedule-usa.aspx
Force update worked flawless for me. I did update using my laptop and all you have to do is flip the wireless switch when you click on the "Update" link in Zune.
Hello guys.
I have Omnia 7, and until last day I have Mango on it. Becouse I want to unlock it, I flashed my Omnia to 7004 version. Then try to update it and Zune find update 7008. After that Zune say that may phone is up to date. I also try forced NoDO with this option to disconect wifi, while searching update, but no success. I also try to intal Samsung patch Device_Update_Support_Tool_for_OMNIA7_KC3_Ver1.2.exe but again no result.
What else I supose to try?
And at the end, Microsoft shame on you, this is incomprehensible case. I already have Mango, and now Zone try to convince me, that I'm up to date.
Oh good Jesus... After one day of synchronizing updates appears.
But, Marketplace say that Samsung Now is not awailible in my region. grrr...
I'm from Slovenia.
I have T Mobile USA HD7 and still no update. I did force update to 7239, but it does not work for 7720, I have tried a lot. Zune says it is up to date. I wonder if there are still any devices without update?
hi
same here
mine is t mobile hd7 and still no update
zune says its up to date
How exactly did you "force" the update to NoDo? If you used the Chevron Updater from Chris Walsh, you "Walshed" your phone and made it incompatible with future updates. There's a tool out there to fix that, though. Similarly, de-branding your phone to get NoDo means your phone is now a hybrid of T-Mobile branded and non-TMO branded bits, and that may be enough to prevent you from getting the update.
I have forced NoDo with the Zune trick, disconneting my internet connection.
Phone is Chevron unlocked only, nothing else.
That's pretty weird, not going to lie. You can try the U2M7720 app (see the development & hacking sub-forum) and it might work for you. It provisions the phone to use the beta upgrade path, including the beta-to-retail final patch. As a bonus, you have a pretty good chance of being able to interop-unlock your phone, something which is otherwise tricky to do on HTC.
That might work. I think I will try to hard reset first, if that does not help I ll install one of the free roms, like dft. Thank you.
