[Q] Omnia 7 - Unable to Update past 7008 - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

7403-7661

Hello
After following many guides about how to upgrade to mango I faced another problem.
Using the pdf it tells me I should upgrade to 7401 with the zune beta, however when I update the only firmware available is 7403 so I let it go ahead anyway.
Now I'm stuck on 7403, Zune tells me that 7403 is the latest firmware and that no updates are available. I've reverted to a previous backup then tried again but the same problem occurs.
Can anybody offer any assistance?
Thanks in advance
7661 is discontinued. Just try to update again and you will get the final version of Mango (7712)!
Just checked and its updating now
Thanks for the help

[Q] Mango build 7712 Unlock Question

I am using a HTC HD7 Nodo 7392 unlocked build, If i'm using ansar's method to update my WP7 to 7712 will it remain unlocked?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1101344
Still works my way. Just did it to my phone and all my stuff is still there and working. As far as ansars way it probably works its essentially the same thing. But alot more steps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1150633
Left out of that post is the needed update to 4.8 for Zune and Windows phone support tool for the phone to sync with zune after the update and use the backup tool. Whatever zune you have installed will handle the update fine. Its the original mango beta packages found on xda somewhere.
Though I just updated from the other mango beta build I still had to put the custclear.provxml file in the windows directory. Tried without doing that first just to see if it would relock it and it does. Just restored and did the originl way. It would be the same from nodo since the newest beta build replaced the last build in the zune phone update. U could use the files from windowsphonehacker.com which is the easiest actually to set everything up if you dont already have the files for the mango update itself.
What happens when the official mango update is release.....do we have to downgrade our unofficial 7712 build? or restore backup?

[Q] ZUNE.....

I just recieved a softward update from zune firmware is 4.8.2345.0 anyone else ? BY THE WAY IT NO LONGER SAY TEST
Downloading now!
Hi bigboy38

Cheers

Zune
yes I got it... and i wanted to do a backup like i have been doing... now i get this msg...
The installed version of ZuneWMDU (4.8.2345.0) doesn't match the tool version (4.8.2134.)
so does anyone know where we get this?
Thanks!
Yes. Updating it now.
Updated too. There's a post on the windows phone blog saying it is to make the Mango update quicker and easier.
I notice when i plugged my phone in after updating Zune some new drivers were installed for the phone.
i hope i will be able to roll back my mango beta to nodo with this new zune...
edit: and yes i have the restore or roll back in the new zune.....
mine prompted me to go back to the previous backup so you should be ok going back to nodo. I got my zune update through windows update
Will The upgrade relock the device?

No, this is for the desktop client. Nothing to do with the phone. It's just to get you ready for the Official Mango release, when it comes. Zune 4.7 can't communicate with Mango.

Focus updated to Mango (from different versions)

Hi folks, there are many threads about updating to Mango so I want a simple and clear post so everyone understands it.
7390 -> 7720 unconfirmed
7392 -> 7720 unconfirmed
7660 -> 7720 unconfirmed
7712 -> 7720 success on v1.3, chevron unlocked, samsung tools 0.7 work (preinstalled)
7720 RTM -> 7720 success on v1.3, chevron unlock preserved
I'm v1.3 on AT&T, had 7712 beta ISV and received 3 updates (7720, cleanup and Samsung update). Still unlocked via GPRS settings/unlock.xml (sms xap).
Whole process took about 90 mins.
I have now:
OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware revision: 3.1.0.7
Radio software: 2103.11.8.1
Radio hardware: 0.0.0.3
Bootloader: 5.8.0.2
Chip SOC: 0.36.2.0
if you started from the versions above, please confirm success and unlock status. Also include any others versions I haven't, and I will update
Ideally: OS version (7xxx), success or not, hw version (1.3/1.4), matching or not final revision numbers (just list differences for firmware, radio software/hw etc)
Thanks!

If it's the Samsung Update, you will be unlocked afterwards.
Alternatively, you can install WP7 Root tools, it works in Mango.

Wp7 root tools alpha 0.5 just does not work for me ... and the thread says coming soon for Mango .. which version are you referring to ?
Is it advisable to first install Mango RTM to get the official release of Mango for Focus 1.4 ? Or will it be risky?

Both methods imply more or less the same thing, from a technical perspective.
I suggest you update normally, to avoid any possible mishaps as in the Walshed phones. So far, there is no indication that if you force the RTM will be issues afterwards, but I personally wouldn't risk it. The numbers are the same if you do and you will still get the 2 updates from Ms-cleanup/Samsung as posted across the forum. So, your choice.

Thanks, I already updated.
Internet Sharing is only for the newer handsets officially (Omnia and Focus are "old" 7.10). It's been hacked for Omnia 7 and Focus for those unlocked....

i have called Samsung for this 1st they told me it's Microsoft issue but then after little argue they said they will try to repair my phone.... but 1st they have to look for my phone warranty and told me give 48 hours to get IMEI from ATT...

BUT.. IF ANY ONE ELSE THIS ISSUE??? any fix for this problem? IF YES THEN HOW TO GET IT WORK...your help will kindly appreciate.
THANK YOU.. WAITING FOR REPLY...

is it safe to update the Omnia 7 with mango yet?

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.
