[Q] Samsung Omnia 7 from WP7_ENGINEER to WP7_PRODUCT - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
some mounths ago I've flashed my omnia7 with the firmware provided by samfirmaware. All go well until Zune popup me with a new update. I've tryed to update but I receive always this error code: 80180048.
So I've decided to re-flash but if I try with a new firmware wp7 tool tell me that my device is not a product device or that the firmware is not for my phone.
How can I restore my phone to receive all official update? (I've tryed an hard reset).
My phone actually is developer unlocked. I'm Italian (WIND operator)
Thanks in advance!
Bye

any ideas?? I can't find information on web

looking in this forum should be better, don't you think?

[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

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.

Can't Update to Mango

Hi guys,
first sorry for my bad english.
I would like to update Mango! My currently version is 7.0.7403.0 (O2 Germany). A few days ago I tried to update mango with jailbreal but it did not work so i've decided to go back on the stock O2 German Rom and update mango without jailbreak.
So I flashed O2 Stock Rom 7004 and Zune shows me the Update 7008 and so on! As I sayed my currently version is 7.0.7403.0! After Checking Updates Zune shows me to Update Mango! So i want to Update but on step 7 (installation update) it cancels with the error 8018004.
I hope somebody can help me!
PS: I'm not sure it was really the original O2 Rom because after flashing there were some programms like GCFSettings, zGesture Bester, zSensorView, zStart KITL but they are not even in the original O2 Rom or?

Omnia 7 firmware update question

Hello all,
like many users i've forced the mango update on my Omnia 7.I ended up with firmware version 2424.11.8.2.
However, i read that most of the users that got the update the "normal" way got firmware version 2424.11.8.5, so i rolled back to NoDo and updated again - still i get 2424.11.8.2.
So my question is - is my firmware ( 11.2 ) mango, or do i need to update my phone manually somehow?
Anyone knows what's the difference between 2424.11.8.5 and 2424.11.8.2 ?
My samsung now app doesnt auto-refresh also..could this be related to the firmware ver?
When you say "forced" the update, what do you mean?
Also, when you rolled back and then re-installed, did you need to do anything special to re-install?

2424.11.8.5 is the Mango update with Samsung drivers and 2424.11.8.2 without.
If you wanna enable Internet Sharing feature you need firmware 2424.11.8.5, this you can also do manually with Cab sender... just search here in the forum.
I flashed back to a branded T-Mobile rom for getting firmware 2424.11.9.4, with my unbranded Samsung rom I couldnĀ“t update the firmware.

I mean i used the cable trick (google it) to get the update b4 it was available for my phone through zune.
After i rolled back i installed in the normal way - didnt use tricks, zune said there's an update, so i updated.I guess this is the official update for my phone.But i dont get it, why it comes without samsung drivers..
Unbranded phone
As I understand it if you have an unbranded Omnia 7 then you will only have 11.8.5 and that does not give you tethering. For me to get tethering I need the firmware update that only seems to come from the carriers themselves which leaves me in the lurch.
I do not want to faff about with unlocking them especially as I have 3 unbranded phones I guess I will just have to wait and see what Microsoft push out to us plebs. You can of course install the firmware if you phone is unlocked and you will find plenty of instructions on how to do this.

[Q] Your phone is up to date (7004) - New Phone does not update

I just replaced my LG Optimus 7 for a new one, after it died. Unfortunately I now do not receive any updates and can't really figure out why.
I looked through xdadevelopers and other boards already but could not find any help.
My problem: Zune searches for updates but ends in telling me that my phone is up to date 7.0 (7004). On my old phone I received all updates as I should have received them... But not on the new one.
What I already tried without any success:
- Tried the update on two different machines with latest Zune
- Tried it already for half a week to see if it just takes a while
- Rest the phone to defaults
- Also tried the trick to disconnect the PC from the network that worked for the Mango update. Also not successful
Phone: LG Optimus 7
FW: 7.0 (7004)
Carrierbranding: OPN
Carrier used: Swisscom, in Switzerland
I am really grateful for any kind of advice! Thanks so much!
Maybe your carrier hasnt provided updates after 7004 update

I am using an unbranded phone now (OPN). The one before was Swisscom-branded and I got all updates.
I suggest you flash your phone with a different ROM.

Thanks! Flashed to a branded ROM, now everything is working fine again, must have had a weird SW image...
