[Q] No more NODO!!! Can anyone confirm?

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.

[Q] Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 Build 7390

Dear XDA,
I hope somebody out there has had the same issues as me (and cured it)!
So a few weeks ago I manually upgraded my Samsung Focus to build 7390 (I did not use Zune to do this).
Now Zune will not update my phone any further (I was rather hoping to update me to build 7392).... I wish to run Mango. I believe that this had something to do with the fact that I did not use Zune to do the update.
All the tutorials I have seen to upgrade to Mango require at least Build 7392 or above (is this correct)?
So I ask if anybody has a clue of how to upgrade my Samsung Focus to Mango.
I thought about flashing it with an earlier ROM then try again, but perhaps there is a better way?
Thanks,
Neil

[Q] I'm tired, I want Mango on my HD7S

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)
My friends here call me a Microsoft fanboy because I like my WP7

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

You guessed right, I am Arabian.
Khaliq, this is Arabic meaning creator?
I am happy currently with my phone, and iOS5+iPhone 4S doesn't seem that much big of a thing. I think I will wait for iPhone 5 to see how good it is
Sorry can't be of help, hopefully the update will appear soon.

I used this method and updated my O2 HD7

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.

Still no Mango update!!!

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.

[Q] Please Help, Tearing my hair out! Titan Stuck on 7720

Hi there,
Today I received a shiny new HTC Titan and i'm already at my wits end with this thing.
Basically I am stuck on 7720.
I have the latest Zune installed, it connects to the phone fine.
I try to update and it finds nothing.
It's an unlocked / sim free EU handset.
As a test I disabled my internet connection and then run the update again in Zune, it appears to be "checking" somehow (which it obviously isnt) and it just says the same again "Your phone is up to date."
It clearly isn't. How old is 7720 now?
I'm a bit lost with cab sender, and not entirely sure I want to go down that route. I want to be able to update in Zune. I am not concerned with custom roms at all on this phone.
I'm generally an Android fan and have no issues running custom roms there, this isn't the greatest start to my WP7 venture.
Please help!!!

I'm done with this POS. My WP7 venture lasted less than a day, back to the drawing board.
HTC are beyond useless. They are stating 7720 is the latest version for this handset.

Finally got the newest RUU to flash, that will suffice. Phew! 8017 it is.
