Hi
I just installed Mango 7712 on my Omnia 7 following this tutorial. If I upgrade it to 7720 using the described method will I be able to later install offical updates?
you have to revert to NoDo from your Backup to get the official Mango
So when Mango is officially out I just revert NoDo from backup, install latest version of Zune and I'll receive Mango updates?
What would happen if I would have a backup (I have it, but just want to know if there is any other way to revert)?
Is there any more or less offical release date?
if you lost your bock up you would need to go back to AT&T (or whichever carrier) to flash back to an official ROM to get the official updates I believe
u can flash a new rom alone, i debranded my mozart that way from german t-mobile
More then likely you will be able to find a stock rom for your phone in this forum. I needed one and found it here for my phone. When you find it, you can flash it yourself.

I am currently using unlocked T-mobile hd7 with Mango RTM. But the HD7 firmware update that was released is not showing up. . Seems like i have to revert to nodo and update it. but don't want to loose my backups.
Just wondering..
After updating the firmware in Nodo, can we simply restore the mango backup? . Or the change in firmware revision number will make previous backups invalid???
I updated to mango pre-beta and now i am at 7401. I lost my original back up and i am stuck at 7401. How do i downgrade back to 7008 7390 or 7392?
I am pretty sure i have to install a rom, so can anyone point me to the right one if i should use it?
I have a htc surround btw.
why not update to 7720 ? hope this helps u downgrade ...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943714
Microsoft offert support for developers that has upgraded to pre-release Mange and have hardware problems with their phone. Check the instructions of Connect programme.
I just flashed my Omnia 7 from a T-Mobile branded one to the XXJL3 RETAIL UNITED KINGDOM one but am unable to update past 7008. Any one else running in the same problem?
yeah.. i had the same problem.. i was on uk retail rom and was not getting past 7.0.7008.. heres what i did to get my mango update.
1) flash a nodo rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131891 ..
2) u will be on nodo(7389 or 7392) after that
3) next use this guide to update to mango beta 1 (7403 build) http://koolmobile.net/windows-phone-7-mango-7720-rtm-leakedhow-to-install/
4)once 7403 is installed.. zune will automatically give u notification that ur phone will now be updated to final build of 7720(official mang0)
5)after that it again check for updates and then will install samsung updates for correct drivers for ur device..
done!! full official mango in ur device
Will give it a try.Thanks
It seems that the links for the beta mango rom is not available but with the nodo rom its pushing out the 7392 version. Will install that and check if maybe mango pops up on its own
ok quick update. Using the WLAN disconnect trick I seem to have managed to get Zune to detect the 7403 update
Thanks a lot for your help

I'm facing the exact same problem. Flashed German T-Mobile NoDo Omnia 7 16GB to a unbranded 7004 with W7 Downloader. Next, I unlocked the device with Chevron WP7 and installed Samsung Tools to keep the lock when connecting with Zune.
Zune installed the 7008 February update succesfully, but now reports that my phone is up-to-date. What a bummer. Why does it let you update to 7008 and not beyond if the removed all the other update up to Mango!? It's a real bummer
I couldn't even restore the backup made with wpupdater.exe
I flashed my 7 Pro to the Mango update found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254384
Everything is working great but I'm not sure if when/if HTC release an update to enable tethering if I will recieve the update since I did not wait for the official update through Zune.
My phone was bought sim-free if that makes a difference?
yes, thats the full official mango rom from HTC with all the latest firmware already baked in, most ppl didnt use this because it formats your phone so does nto preserve their setting and aps builtup over time.
You wont get any update on Zune untill a new update is availale after Mango or post firmware updates. You basicly have what everyone wants so go forth and be happy
I have the omnia 7 and because im impatient, i forced the mango update for my phone. this is because it took ages for them to release the mango update for my phone, i assume its ok for me to reset my phone and update it to the new mango now? my carrier is with orange and because i used the force mango upddate trick i have not received any notice from them saying that the official mango for the omnia 7 is available. so is it safe for me to do so now?

I see no problem there. I did the same thing, then after my carrier released the official update, I flashed back the official, old ROM to my Omnia and then properly updated it over Zune with the official update.
How did you "force" the update? If it was jsut the pull-the-Internet trick, you already have the official bits. If it was anything more drastic, you should use your Zune restore point to roll your phone back to how it was, and then check for official updates. If you don't have a restore point that doesn't inlcude the modifications you made to force the update, you my need to do a hard reset or even flash a stock ROM.
