I bought an AT&T Focus and I've discovered its got an old version of the OS on it. I suspect the phone I bought was a testing/engineering version...
I'd like to update the OS/Firmware/Radio/Whatever else to the newest versions. I saw the ROMS updates for other phones, but not for the focus. How do I update my phone?
From the phone update screen, it shows "no updates found"... is there a way for me to force it to recheck?
Thanks in advance

Post the version(s) you have here and other Focus users could compare.
roms
where did you find other roms, I think the focus is the only wp7 phone without a rom floating around.
You should just return the phone to the place where you boughted if you believe your phone comes with an older OS (highly doubt it). In AT&T stores, demo units often are loaded with a Demo ROM which has a different versions than the stock ones.
WP7 OS updates come directly from Microsoft via Zune software on your PC. The first such promised update has yet to come.

Hi guys, I am a recent convert from iPhone 3G. Whenever Apple releases new OS update for the iPhone, it will be available for the users, how about Google's Android OS? Will the update be made available to all the Android phones?
I have a 'HTC' branded HTC magic and I notice that my phone does not have the OTA feature. How do I update my OS?
Please advise. Thanks.
You can update it manually. I think you get problems if your phone is rooted though. I personally think that the custom ROMs released here are a few steps ahead anyways
Where would I be able to download it?
from the Android page? HTC or?
I would also like to know where i get the OTA updates offline
I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.
Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!
Anytime.

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?
You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.
I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?
Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.
No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.
No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon
I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(
2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?
2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.
So a few weeks back I forced NoDo on my phone. I haven't plugged it into my PC for a bit but this morning when I did I got a message that a 'New Samsung Update' was avaliable for my phone.
Not sure what it is, maybe just some branding things...I'll keep you posed in case no one else has seen/tried this.
It is a firmware update. Ppl who update to NoDo officially will have it inside the NoDo package already. Those updated earlier need to do it separately. It's bug fixes and new features (outlined in WPCentral.com).
I'll have to look that up, I must've missed the article. It went through no problem at least.
Yeah, new features include the AT&T-specific stuff (AT&T address book account type available to add), as well as a change to default camera settings (anti-shake on by default), and a change that prevents you from swiping onto the capacitive buttons from the main display and accidentally activating them (thus exiting a game when swiping too far, etc.) - they respond to taps, but are disabled when your finger starts up on the display portion of the screen. Not sure what else yet...
I don't think that the Samsung update is actually bundled with NoDo (at least not for everyone). I've got the official NoDo update for Rogers in Canada, but none of the Samsung update features (i.e. anti-shaking is still off by default, buttins the same as pre-NoDo).
I assume we are talking about AT&T update unless specified otherwise. Rogers customer get the update a while back. There was a talk of firmware update after you updated to NoDo. These two phones really should have be treated separately.
Can anyone with a Rogers Focus confirm this? Does anyone who got NoDo through Rogers actually have anti-shaking enabled by default?
My thoughts: Rogers did get a firmware update post nodo that did not include anti-shake. AT&T users recently got it bundled with some AT&T specific features. Rogers users still without anti-shake. Maybe soon? Might be waiting to bundle it with other fixes...
does this samsung fimware update gives new numbers in firmware version? because i did not see any firmware version change after official nodo update through zune sync.

Assume you have an AT&T Focus:
1. There are two updates. You need run the update twice.
2. Yes, the firmware version gets bumpped to 11.3.3
ATT Focus
Thye bootloader also changes. I can confirm that the Chevron Updater method does take you to 7390, but does not change the Firmware, Radio Software or Boatloader version. The Samsung Update from Zune (Official ATT) does change these.
Hi All
Hoping you can help as i am struggling to understand how this all works with this manufacturer. I got this tablet yesterday and love it so far ... upon starting the tablet i was greeted with an update notification that i initially figured was for 7.0 - turns out this was a patch for 6.0.
This is all great except i noticed in another thread that someone with the same version and based in the uk received the update. Mine wont find it. I tried the PC software to see if this would work as it used to on other manufacturers (Sony for example) but it said i was up to date.
I would prefer to update the official way if possible (not my first BBQ, have had more android tablets than you can poke a stick at - have resorted to all sorts of ways to get the next software before)
Any ideas anyone ? least possible effort as i don't want to corrupt this awesome piece of kit !
From what I can tell they roll it out in waves based on the device's IMEI. I also haven't received it in Italy when some people in neighbouring countries have. I guess all you can do is wait. By the way, corrupting the device is not that easy, if you want to test Nougat right now, you can get it using Firmware Finder, then you can roll back to the regular version using a rollback package you can find on Huawei's website. Worst case scenario, you will have to factory reset, but it won't be a big deal I guess since you just got it. I was able to roll back from a failed flash of Nougat just fine, then reflashed the correct version of Nougat and used it for a while, then rolled back again because I heard the official ota is coming, and it always worked just fine.
Ok great thanks for confirming. i almost went for the galaxytab s2 again (my wife swindled me out of my old one ! ) but glad i didn't - this one runs better on 6.0 than the s2 on 7.0 i noticed.
Hello There awesome people.
So i had an internet issue so i didn't have internet for a good amount of time. After i got it back i upgraded my old version 16XXX tlusing the update tool, but it only upgraded to 171XX! Although there is much newer versions, it keeps saying "you are updated to the latest version" over and over for like a week, and no newer versions has succeeded in arriving, does anyone know a solution for this?
