[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] Mango RTM, can't reinstall NOW app on samsung focus!

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.)
OS Version 7.10.7720.68
Firmware 2103.11.81
Samsung Focus 1.3 AT&T

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#.

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 couldn´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] 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:

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.

[RESOLVED] Updating to Pie

Ok. I got an AT&T Galaxy Note 8 back in early-mid 2018. The first thing that happened when I booted it up and connected to a wifi hotspot was that it downloaded the latest update.
That was the last update I received.
I am trying to install Android P onto my device through Odin (Using 3.13.1B PatcheD). I tried OTA first, but when checking for updates, it says that my phone is up to date. I am currently on build U4CRD7.
I called AT&T and they told me that I have to contact Samsung to download the update, and also that it could be a hardware issue (?) and to possibly send it in to Asurion. After that, I called Samsung, and they told me I had to take it to the closest Best Buy. Now, I don't have a way to travel the ~30 miles to the closest one. So, I decided to try Odin. (I have used Odin before, so I am somewhat familiar with it)
I downloaded firmware version U7DTC1_USC from a post here on the forums. I placed all files in the correct areas, went to download mode, tried flashing, and failed. I've gotten three different fails. I changed cables and ports and failed. I tried downloading firmware version U7DSK3 and flashing that one, thinking I might have skipped too many updates (if that is a thing... I've read conflicting information). Failed.
The last failure was a "Complete(Write) operation failed"
Besides taking an expensive rideshare to the nearest Best Buy, is there something that I am missing in trying to update this phone? Could it be a hardware issue? Have I missed too many updates? Do I need to progressively update my phone? (I don't need answers to all these questions, just the most relevant answer please)
If I have posted this in the wrong area, I am sorry. This is my first post on XDA, and I usually don't post in forums anywhere, I just lurk and look for answers to my questions. I haven't been able to find a matching problem.
Edit:
More digging and I found this in another thread.

In further replies, he suggests updating to the firmware version that I am currently at. What is an "update version?" Do I need to just go one firmware update up? Do I need to go one BL version up?

Phone successfully updated
So, I downloaded firmware version U5DSC1, dug up my 10 year old laptop and switched from the patched version to the normal Odin3 3.13.1.
I don't know which change allowed the update, but I was able to update.
After U5DSC1, I had no problem updating to U7DTC1 through Odin (though the system update feature on the phone still did not pick up any updates after U5DSC1).

Your problem was simply because you were trying to use the patched version of Odin and should have just used the newest updated version of Odin. There's no reason to use the patched Odin to flash the normal firmware. People use the patched Odin when they're flashing modified firmware.
Edit: By the way, if it's an AT&T device and you're using say a T-Mobile or Verizon sim card it will not update unless you put an AT&T sim card back in it. It's apparently picky like that. For instance let's say it had AT&T firmware on it and you have a Verizon(or other) sim card in it, the phone is expecting to find and download the AT&T firmware for updates the problem is that Verizon(and others) do not carry AT&Ts firmware they only have their own versions of firmware that's the reason some people don't get updates.
