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 ?

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

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.
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?
i unlocked my samsung focus played around with a couple of things now ive decied to go back to the full mango beta,i've tried hard reboot the roms that are on here unistalled zun went to 4.7- then eventually 4.8 my phone is at 7.0.7390 and will not update any higher.my question to the board is i planeed on heading to the retail store telling them i need a new chip something wrong this one will not update? will this get me back to mango beta????
Use this method to get Mango beta: http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/get_the_mango_update_now._without_being_a_developer.-06-30-11
Every single time I try and update the to the 7.5 update in my htc surround it breaks the SD card. I've gone through the original 16gb, a 2gb, and now an 8gb all working fine. It gets stuck at the white htc screen and Even through a hard reset it isn't fixed. Is there anything I can do about this.
Edit:Now the phone is stuck at white boot screen and no SD card works on it. it also vibrates 5 or 6 times when starting up.
How long have you wated at the OEM screen? The first bootup after installing Mango can take several minutes (I've heard up to 20; it took about 2 for my HD7 though).
an hour at least i waited patiently otherwise I wouldn't have made a thread.
Sounds like either faulty hardware or a bad update. The first I can't help you with; you'll probably need to take it for warranty replacement (put the original card back in first). If you violated the warranty getting the card out in the first place, then... yeah, I don't think I can help with that either.
As for a bad update, have you made any changes to the phone that could have messed things up? A few classic examples:
Using a custom ROM (not necessarily harmful, but it could be).
Using Chris Walsh's updater to force-install NoDo.
De-branding your phone to get NoDo or Mango early.
Re-branding your phone to access other carrier or OEM-specific apps, especially if not restored before you tried updating.
Manually changing registry keys (most are pretty harmless, a few will mess stuff up hard, many are probably more subtle).
In any case, if you can't get the phone working again as-is, I suggest rolling back to NoDo (it sounds like you can still do that) and then trying a custom Mango ROM, instead of trying to update your current install.
If you'd like, I'll send you a backup tool I have been working on for HTC phones that will let you preserve application state (game progress, things like that) on your PC so you can restore it after flashing. (The app is rough and unfinished, and only semi-compatible with Mango, which is why I haven't published it yet. HTC-only, doesn't work if you have the HTC Update for Windows Phone that comes with Mango.)
Thanks for the loving response I didnt do any thing like you suggested. My phone is now semi bricked I was going to flash back to a nodo rom then use andes custom mango update so I needed to install hspl and rspl. Turns out my SPL wasnt on there I'm in 4.xx. So now the tri color screen only shows 1 line of text at the top like it was mentioned when your phone is semi bricked on the HSPL thread.
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.
