[Q] Update Mango fails every time

Today Zune prompted that the update is available so I started the update. It fails every time I try to update my phone :-(
I am already om 7720 but still Zune (and my Phone) pop up the update message.
I even did a full reset of my phone but still the update fails.
At step 5 it stays on 0% and the phone restarts.
Then step 6 and 7 (installing updates) ... again the reboot ..
Message on the phone:
Update Unsuccesfull
Unfortunately , we weren't able to update your phone. Refer to the Zune software or Mac Connector on your computer to find out what happened. Or if your're already closed this software, go to windowsphone.com for guidance.
See attached pictures.
Error code which I get is: 8018001E.
Need Help!

If you already did a full reset you can as well roll back to NoDo from your backup and try from an offically support version (7392).

How do I roll back?

Friend, if you have to ask this question, then I'm wondering if you truly knew what you were doing.

Ok, I used to get this error when I tried to update my firmware by changing my carrier code using Samsung Registry editor. As it turns out, Samsung firmwares are kinda locked to carriers. I tried Tmobile, Orange but the firmware would not install, getting the same error code as you did.
I had to wait for Samsung to release the firmware for my carrier.
Did you do anything to your LG phone? Like changing carrier code? If you did, you'll have to change it back.

Seems to be pretty common problem for LG E900: answers .microsoft .com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp7-sync/lg-e900-update-error-code-8018001e/1ec8d54d-0ee8-4db6-ab62-4ca26b3fbbe7?page=1&tm=1317157055038
(can't post links yet)
I'm experiencing it too... ;/

Ok, I will chech the link later.
Thanks!

Hmmm
I think I figured out what is going on. Apparently Mango needs the latest firmware from LG to be installed on the phone. This was given to branded phones but not to unlocked/unbranded phones like mine, a few months back. With the firmware update the LG Optimus 7 will jump from:
Firmware Rev 1.0.7.10
Hardware Rev 1.0.0.0
Radio Software 1.0.7.10
Radio Hardware 0.3.5.0
Bootloader Ver 1.5.0.0
Chip SOC 0.30.2.0
to:
Firmware Rev 1.0.10.10
Hardware Rev 1.0.0.0
Radio Software 1.0.10.10
Radio Hardware 0.3.5.0
Bootloader Ver 1.5.1.0
Chip SOC 0.30.2.0
People who successfully updated their LG E900 to Mango already had that phone, from the little research I have been doing in the past few hours. So all we need is the firmware update from LG to be installed and I am hoping that this will allow us to go ahead and install Mango.

[Q] Omnia 7 - Unable to Update past 7008

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

if it doesnt go through here is the alternate link for beta build
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6601278/Windows_Phone_7_Mango_Build_7720_RTM_Update_(7720.rar

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

[Q] Samsung Omnia 7 - Interop Unlock

Hi there,
I don't have the right to reply on the relative subject, so I ask my question right here.
I would like to submit a feedback regarding this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
I have a Samsung Omnia 7 (SIM unlocked) and I tried to unlock my device.
The previous procedure is fine, really amazing, but this morning I received a "samsung update" and I choosed to install it.
Unfortunately, since this update, the interop-lock don't work anymore.
I'm able through "Diagnosis" to choose and then save the "Interop-lock" profile which break my 3G configuration.
Then I launch "3G repair" and my connection works again like a charm.
But my device seems to be locked again because I'm not able to install any application even this one: "Interop Unlock by Heathcliff74 v2.xap" which have been deleted after the mango update (Microsoft has revoked this application..)
Do you have an idea of what's happening on my device?
Thanks by advance for your help!

solved....

Another Samsung Omnia 7 unlocking problem
Hi,
I am encountering problems when trying to unlock Samsung Omnia 7
device with steps mentioned in HeathCliff74's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963
Device has following configuration:
- Developer unlocked
- OS ver: 7.10.7740.16
- Firmware ver: 2424.11.11.2
- HW ver: 3.15.0.4
- Radio s/w ver: 24.11.9.1
According to the steps, after updating the device to Mango, I removed the Samsung Diagnosis app and got it's latest version. This app shows the version as 0628 and when ##9908# is dialled there, it doesn't show the interop unlock app there.
Please let me know how I can unlock this device for native development. Thanks!

You have installed the Samsung KK2 update. The thread you refer to already describes the issue. I recommend trying to restore a backup from before the KK2 update. Then apply Interop Unlock. After that you can apply the KK2 update if you want.
Good luck,
Heathcliff74

so if you update to the kk2 update it will wipe off the interop????

No, it's important to just make a interop unlock before KK2 update because after this is not possible.
Let someone correct me if I'm wrong

Anyone know if a new interop unlock is being made for samsung phones that already have the latest updates? (like mine )

People are attempting it, but the best bet right now is to roll back to earlier firmware, either by using a backup or by flashing an older ROM. Alternatively, since you're on a gen1 phone, you could flash a custom ROM.

[Q] downgrading wp7

hey guys,
i've got the samsung omnia w gti8350 and i installed the latest update including kk2, but now i havn't the phone either unlocked nor i have a backup.
i downloaded the full mango build 7720 rtm and the wp7 update cab sender. when i wanted to "update" actually downgrade, the anser was no cab was required. the phone doesn't let me downgrade to mango!
is there a possible answer how i can downgrade it or how i can uninstall kk2 without having a backup?
thanks for your attention
daniel

I'd ask what you did with your backup, but it's probably too late for that now.
You need a ROM flashing tool, not a CAB sender (which is used for updates, not full ROMs). I know that ROM flashing utilities exist for the first-gen Samsung phones, and would assume that either they can be used with second-gen or you can find one that works. The tool used for HTC (like I have) is called ROM Update Utility, commonly abbreviated RUU.
You may want to look in device-specific parts of the forum. Also, just for the record, do you mind posting your firmware version info (from Settings -> About -> More Info)? People are constantly asking how to check for the KK2 version, and it would be good to have a number I could point to and say "if it's at least this high, you need to downgrade."

Here we go,this is what i got after the update:
Firmware revision number 7.10.8107.79
Hardware revision number 23.15.0.8
Radio software version 2424.11.12.1
Radio hardware version 0.0.0.800
Bootloader version 6.1.2.0
Hope it helps,since update i was unable to unlock using windowbreak.

@GoodDayToDie: would it be possible to use the ROM Update Utility to flash my omnia w?
Daniel

I don't know; ROM flashing isn't my thing (I'm still on a stock ROM). I strongly suggest you go look at the Omnia [7] forum, if you can't find an Omnia W forum, and ask how to re-flash the ROM. Alternatively, you could try searching (using Google/Bing, since the forum's search tool is down). You could also look at the XDA-Devs wiki; a lot of this sort of info is stored there.

Here you are
OS: Windows Phone 7.5
Date: 2011 November
PDA: I8350XXKK4
CSC: I8350PLSKK4
Download: Click HERE
This ROM is from Poland, unfortunately it's the only ROM I could find for your phone. Anyway this shouldn't give you any kind of problem.
How to flash:
- Extract the archive
- Open the folder Downloader and run WP7_Downloader_Ver_3.8_for_Secure_and_SMD_change_Parttiton_and_Support_Retail_binary.exe as Administrator
- Click on PDA and choose PDA_I8350XXKK4_REV0.nb0
- Click on CSC and choose CSC_I8350PLSKK4.csc
- Click on Phone and choose PHONE_WEMBLEY_16002402_open_KK1_rev00_RC1.bin
- Click on Eboot and choose EBOOT_I8350XXKK4_REV0.eb0
- Put your phone in Download Mode (Turn it off and press Volume Up Key + Camera Key + Power).
- Plug in your phone, wait until the program finds the phone and then click Start
If the program doesn't find the Phone, then you need to install Samsung USB Drivers: Download HERE

hey AshleyT
i tried all you said exactly that order but nothing worked:
picture as attachment
Have i made a mistake?

Uhm... Everything seems correct
Try these USB drivers:
Samsung USB Driver v1.3.2300
Uninstall the old ones before installing these!
Also, I found another revision on that firmware, if you have the same error with the new drivers, try with this other one:
http://hotfile.com/dl/142699209/c6a2bc7/I8350XXKK4_XEKK4_SERKK4.rar.html

i have samsung omnia w with frmware v7720 and diagonisis ver 1109 in which the window break method does not get applied...so for this reason i want to downgrade my phone...is possible to use windows support tool for downgrading to earlier windows ver i.e. NoDO because i dont have any backup of it so i cant even reterive it with zune

i've now tested the new drivers and the new rom that you posted.
It seems not to work! Same problem as before, no way out! I think samsung provided with kk2 an update that blocks all possibilities to "hack" this phone.

2nd gen devices (like Omnia W) can't be downgraded to NoDo because they didn't even exist before Mango!
Anyway 7720 is the OS version, not the firmware.
You can always try the ROM that I posted above and see if you're able to apply WindowBreak on it

Well, my Samsung Omnia 7 also received KK2 update which blocked the possibility to use WindowBreak, but I was able to flash even a custom ROM, so I don't really think that the problem is realted to the firmware.
Are you sure that you're in bootloader mode?
You can also try the procedure on another computer, but I don't know what else I could suggest you, because I didn't have any problem on my Omnia 7!

Are the bootloader mode and the download mode the same? First you mentioned i've to go to the download mode (vol. up + cam. + power).
If that's true i am in the right mode.

I'm interested in downgrade my Omnia W too. I found this. I hope that it helps, but i think, that it's only for upgrade...

Can i make a custom frimware for 2nd gen devices???

Since you'd need to unlock the bootloader before you could install it, a custom firmware for gen2 phones isn't yet a useful project...

So i tried it with later drivers and Poland Firmware and it seems that it doesn't works.. Still the same firmware.

@WooDoo.CZ: don't you forget to ckeck the checkboxes from PDA, Phone, Eboot & Phone Boot. Unless you check these, i think it won't send any files to your wp7 device...

Sorry boys. So I did it again and now i checked it. And same problem as you had.
edit:
I found this. Anybody should try it. I don't have time right now.

Cheers! -M Xda member since 2007.

ChevronWP7 Unlocker hasn't worked in nearly a year (since NoDo came out). If your OS version is 7389 or higher, you can't use it. This was pretty clearly documented, not just here on XDA-Devs but on a number of tech sites and phone hacking blogs and so forth.
I'll look into your Windowbreak problem. Typically, it means you have the KK2 or later firmware version from Samsung. Flashing an older version to the phone may let you use Windowbreak. Annoyingly, Samsung doesn't seem to use easily-distinguishable version numbers for their significant firmware updates, or at least not ones that I find easily memorable...

It will cause the problem. Windows phones are not just like others where flashing goes smooth.
Cross your fingers and wait for jailbreaks. We are all waiting from last 3 months

Guys new diagnosis update for omnia w has been arrived. I update my diagnosis ver . but now it is not showing GPRS menu . What to do ?? ( Ver.0210)

hey how did u get the updated diagonosis ver???

i dont know. Update had come in marketplace. so i updated it. later it was showing ver 0210 before it was 1109. but now it is not opening the gprs menu. After dialing *#9908# it doesnt show gprs menu !

yap We are waiting from last 3 months

Since there is no news about interop/jailbreak omnia w
I was thinking: In gprs menu the windows break xml dont appers,
but there is a text box, if we write the windowbreak.xml code to the box and save it it is possible the jailbreak?
I can try it but I dont have the file and I dont know how to take it.
