So I updated my Samsung Focus to Mango, now the office hub won't open. It will flash white, then just go back to the home or app screen. Now it still does the app opening animation, but won't even flash the white/black screen anymore. Here is what i have done:
Turn the phone off and on about a million times.
Reset the office app in settings.
Doing both at the same time.
It's just stock Mango. I am out of ideas. It won't start at all. Maybe there is something wrong with the shortcut? Is there anyway to test that? Is there anyway to reinstall Mango? I am so confused.
Some info
Samsung SGH-i917
OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
firmware revision number: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware revision number:3.1.0.7
Bootloader version: 5.8.0.2
Any help, or hint, or suggestion will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Best way to re-install Mango is to roll back to NoDo using the restore point that Zune creates at the beginning up the update process. You can start the restore process by connecting the phone to the Zune software, and going to Settings -> Phone -> Update (in Zune).

I deleted the Now App because it was acting up so i uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, but now it says your phone is not up to date...but I do have mango RTM and it was working before, what's going on??
Same problem
I did a hard rest and tried to reinstall the Samsung Now app, but was unable to install. This was after I updated to Mango. I hard rest the phone 2 more time with no luck. When I first updated I was able to install the Now App to the Mango Version. I now get the marketplace error (80330011). Also when in the Samsung Zone the Now App now states That (This app is not available for your device. Tap here for more info. When I tap I get the (App. not Available. This might be because your phone software needs to be updated, the app is exclusive to a different mobile provider, or the app is not available in you region.)

you can sideload the latest Mango enabled Now xap if you are unlocked.
follow this post.
i am dev-unlocked, but sideloading the app doesn't seem to work. Any idea why this is happening?
There is a non-patched version of Now posted by @derausgewanderte (thank you man)
Take it @mmian : Now - v2.3.0.1 (patched).xap

you can use this to sideload the app. Once you have this application you also don't need to search the net for a patched version of the xaps you find. it works
I'm experiencing this too. My phone isn't dev-unlocked so I'm hoping it's a temporary marketplace issue.
When I first updated to Mango (right after a reset) I downloaded the new Now app without any issues. I've since reset again to add an SD card and now cannot update it. Argh.
Also, I wish they'd use the same font for the temperatures on the Now Live Tile as the rest of the OS.
I have the same problem.
I upgraded my phone (not unlocked) all the way from its original version 7004 through mango RTM to mango and could update samsung now to the latest version. I saw the new features they introduced.
Then I wanted to unlock the phone -> reflash to 7004 and go to mango again. samsung now wouldn't update in marketplace (don't remember exact error code) but other apps like diary could be installed. I uninstalled 'now' and when i tried to install it it said (is not compatible with your phone".
The only difference between the first and the second version of mango on the phone:
- the first time I flashed the firmware using signed_CSC_Cetus_Europe_I8700BSEJK1.csc
- the second time I flashed the firmware using signed_CSC_Cetus_Europe_I8700DBTJK1.csc because I was told this is the right file for an unbranded omnia7 for germany
- after I've flashed the second time, zune did not find an update after I had 7008 on my phone -> needed to use the "disconnect from internet" solution to upgrade
However, in the end all drivers have been updated:
Os: 7.10.7720.68
firmware: 2424.11.8.5
radio: 2424.11.7.2
bootloader: 5.8.1.9
Does it really depend on the .csc and the active region that "now" can't be installed? but why should it be disabled for germany, I already used it in my unlocked mango version and they have german news and all that stuff.
with WP7Downloader, I could flash the csc to BSEJK1, probably I'll give it a try.
probably related:
IIRC, the unlocked mango installed a version of the diagnosis app starting with 1,
now (mango unlocked) I have "diagnosis_DU (ver. 0628). Is this the correct one? when I start the GPRS manager, I don't get a nice combobox for "select GPRS" anymore, the options are displayed in a listbox which is too small to show all entries. in "unlocked mango" the UI looked nicer, now it looks kind of ugly or just wrong however, it still works and unlocked mango as intended
And yes, I uninstalled the app, rebooted the phone and installed it again using ##634#.
So I used the disconnect internet trick and got Tango to install on my phone. Problem is, it stopped with the 3 updates and did not install (or find) the Samsung one that I know was supposed to be installed (for firmware), so my firmware is now 2103.11.10.1 instead of what it is supposed to be.
Does anyone know a way to force the OEM firmware to be sent to Zune. The internet disconnect trick isn't work now, so I'm stuck. Also, my backups aren't showing up, even though during the update process it said it was creating a backup (for all the OS updates it installed all the way up to 8773).
If there is no way to get the OEM firmware to be pushed, does anyone know how to get the Focus Flash to stock? I know I have a backup on my computer, but Zune isn't recognizing it (I had forced 8107 on my phone, and Zune made a backup of that ROM).
I just updated to Tango using the cab sender on my Focus Flash. Everything worked fine. My firmware ver. is the same as yours. It has been that rev since as far as i can remember. I don't think there is a firmware newer than that for the Focus Flash.
Firmware is 2103.11.10.1
OS ver is 7.10.8773.98

Someone at wpcentral posted this for their Focus Flash:
Look like Firmware Update, Radio Software, BootLoader
Firmware Revision 2103.12.05.04
Hardware Revision Number 23.1.0.8
Radio Software Version: 2103.12.5.4
Radio Hardware Version: 0.0.0.6
BootLoader Version 6.5.17.0
Chip SOC Version 0.74.21.1
So there must be one out there (plus, everyone else has been receiving firmware updates, like Nokia, so I can't see Samsung not making one).
Since you used the debrand trick to update to 8107, you'll most likely have to reset your phone to get the Samsung update. I did the same thing & then did the cab send method to update to 8773. Didn't have any problems. Kept trying to get the Samsung update via the disconnect trick. No luck. As soon as I reset my phone, it popped right up. I'm installing it now. Good luck.

HI All,
I have a Samsung Omnia 7 Phone running the following:
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision: 2424.11.9.2
Hardware revision: 3.15.0.4
Bootloader version: 5.11.1.8
I have got a problem where Internet explorer wont run at all on the phone. i've tried the "open in current tab" trick and that doesnt work. I thought updating the phone would work but this didnt either. i Updated to 7.10.8107.79.
The end result i want to export all my text messages of my phone then do a hard reset.
I read the only way was to phone unlock. But reading that with windowsbreaker can only be done of 7440 or lower , i downgraded to 7720 and this didnt work and then also read that samsung have blocked it when doing downgrades/restores.
I did try windowsbreaker using about 7 different download internet browsers from the market place but none worked as per samsung blocking the method.
Does any one know where i can go from here. Like i said i just want to get all my SMS messages saved to my pc in some good format and then i just want to hard reset the phone to start again.
Thanks in Advance

Hello XDA-Community!
Unfortunately I updated my Samsung Omnia 7 without deploying the "relockPrevent.xap" file (I didn't think the update would relock my Phone). Is there another possibility to unlock my Samsung? I liked Windowbreak a lot since it was so easy, but it won't work anymore. What can I do to get back to my previous OS-Version (Mango?) ? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance! =)
Greetings,
Crash1k
Still nothing new on this? =(

You probably got the dreaded Samsung update.
Can you please post your Phone/PDA (by typing *#1234# in Diagnosis)
Thanks a lot for your answer!
PDA: I8700XXKK2
Phone: I8700XXKI1
CSC: I8700DREKI2
KK2 is the Samsung firmware (called "PDA" here) update version that blocks WindowBreak and similar hacks.
To roll back to your pre-Tango state, when presumably your phone was already interop-unlocked, just connect your phone to Zune on the PC, then (in Zune) go to Settings -> Phone -> Update. You should see a button to restore the backup that was taken when you intalled the update.
Thanks a lot for your helpful answer!
If I do that, will my Apps etc. be deleted?
Your phone is restored to exactly the point it was at when the backup was created, except for your music/videos/photos - those sync with Zune anyway, so they aren't included in the backups. Apps and other contant that you have since purchased are still available, though; just re-download them from the marketplace (you won't be charged again).

guys i need help also please
im on 7.10.8773.98
carrier xfa
i need wifi hotspot very urgently
what can i do?
Well... I have a strange issue... but on the other hand I feel I´m not alone. However it´s kind of messy trying to get a full picture from XDA how to get around my problem.
I have a 3-branded Omnia 7 with the following info:
OS 7.10.7720.68
Firmware 2424.11.9.1
Hardware 3.15.0.4
Radio Software 24.24.11.9.1
Radio Hardware 0.0.0.800
Bootloader 5.9.0.6
Chip SOC 0.36.2.0
My issue... well Zune keeps telling me Update 7740.16 is available (iI guess the Tango will come after that update, right?). I let Zune update but it comes back as a failure "error 80180048". Ok, so I tried to update using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
I got all files downloaded (lang files for each update... ) and it started ok... but after installation it came back with the same error as via Zune.
I tried to make a hard reset to eliminate the possibility that the unlock (rootacces) had anything to do with it... same problem.
As I understand I should go back to the Samsung Omnia 7 version as it came in the box, right? After that letting Zune handle the complete update from scratch? Well... how do I do that? I have found som threads but I´m not really sure witch one to use...
Can someone please give me some directions to get this to work? What files do I need and how do I restore the phone to it´s original state? (in the box-state).
I bought the phone secondhand since I use 3 (Three) in Sweden. I have had NO problem with it at all... But I get soooo anoyed with Zune telling me to update... so I thought "What the heck!?"...
Well... I guess I sorted it myself... followed the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11713948&postcount=1
I have to admit I was really uncomfortable doing this... But after getting the correct files downloaded it was really easy. The phone downgraded to the first version of Windows Phone 7... I screamed out loud when I saw the old green round Windowslogo... but after a couple og updates via Zune Mango was installed... the the updates rolled on and now I´m on the latest release. I feel quite happy since I don´t have to do this when WP 7.8 arrives this fall.
