Hi,
so do we know the best way to get the Samsung Firmware updates on our unbranded Focuses that have NoDo already installed yet?
I connected my unbranded Focus on which I used the "VPN hack" to install NoDo to Zune, but did not get the Samsung firmware updates yet.
Is anyone else seeing anything different?
cheers,
Alex
i unbranded and used the hungarian hack to get nodo weeks ago, just synced my phone to zune and it offered the samsung update. i didn't do it yet.

If you have the NoDo Update then just rebrand the phone to AT&T sync with Zune Software and you will get just the Samsung updates.
To rebrand: "HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator" = ATT-US
I just did the official update to nodo and i was still able to keep the unlock.

I've unbranded Focus on which I used the "VPN hack"
Still unlocked after nodo update? Can I still deploy the registry editor (xap homebrew)?
If you did the prevent re-lock hack, it will remain unlocked

So, even unbranded, I'll be able to get the samsung firmware update?
I didn't get any new update from my zune software. Still waiting...

That's my point.
munkeyphyst gave got the update advisor with an unbranded phone.
Now I can't put ATT-US Coz my focus is with nodo (locked) and unbranded.
Uh. Sorry for that misleading info. I unbranded to get nodo through the VPN hack, I did rebrand after . Sorry again

So my last hope is the hard reset...
Or wait for a new way to unlock the phone with nodo.

Hi.
I rebranded my Focus to ATT-US because I had unbranded my device to install NoDo some weeks ago. So because I am ATT-US again, I can see the Samsung Firmware update, but my phone won't finish the backup process throwing error 801812DD.
Someone knows what is happening? Thanks.

The Microsoft support code says to make sure you're using the USB cable that came with the phone. If you are, make sure the cable is using a USB port on the back of your PC.
I think the second recommendation is the bigger issue. Don't go through a USB hub, but directly connect. I am using a Monoprice USB cable directly connected to my PC, and it worked fine.

Thanks for the replies, I solved it but with a different tip the Twitter WinPhoneSupport guys told me, I just changed and used a different USB cord and it worked!!
I used the vpn hack to get NoDo in March and then when the official update came out I restored back to OS ver. 7008 and used the samsung registry app to change my carrier back to ATT-US, rebooted the phone and installed the update. However, I didn't get the Samsung Update with firmware updates. I tried it several times. I finally restored back to 7008 again, did a hard reset, and then I got the Samsung Update and NoDo. Sucked to have to do a hard reset, but worth it for the firmware update.
For those who used the VPN hack/unbranded their Samsungs and don't want to have to do a Hard Reset, just a quick FYI: A Soft Reset will work as well. (Settings/About/Reset). Means you will have to reinstall your apps and resync but it may be a bit faster and easier than doing a roll-back to 7004/7008 or doing a hard reset.
VPN NoDo
I originally used the VPN hack to get NoDo in march, but was experiencing a lot of keyboard lag so I restored it back to the restore point in Zune and then updated it officially. Re-branded the phone and now installing the samsung update. Will see what happens. Hopefully its for the better.

Thanks! Worked for me! I wondered why I wasn't getting it. Reset this and it came right up!
I have searched and searched but cannot find any instructions on how to update my DVP firmware.
I am currently on the old .105 firmware and this thing is almost unusable!
I'm also using the current Mango update and matching Zune software. Would that block an automatic update of the firmware?

The new FW is currently available via Zune only for unlocked DVP's. TMO DVP is next week. Plus, if you have Mango-you need to back out to Nodo (pre-mango state) and only then Zune will let you update.
My DVP is unlocked, as it was a T-Mobile version I am now using in Canada on Rogers.
I will try reverting to do the update.
Well, looks like I don't have a pre mango backup anymore.
What do I do now?

It should have been sold unlocked by Dell for this to work. If you bought a locked TMO version to unlock it afterwards, it won't work.

Your only option is to get help from MS if you are a official Developer or get a Dev account from MS and ask MS for help.
Didn't MS mention it a zillion times to take a backup? Might also be worth posting in the WP General forum in XDA for help.

Yes, and I had that backup, but when I tried to backup manually my post mango state, it somehow overwrote my older backup.
Actually, if anyone has a stock dvp pre mango backup and would be willing to share it with me, that would work...
Just saw the update pop up on my phone. I am only on Wifi as well.
Did a quick google and this seems to be the updates with the new Homescreen (with themes!)
I won't pop the update as I am on an unlocked BL. Probs gonna wait till someone posts a flashable update.
Not available for me...
Nothing here.
Rogers/Canada.
Big Red is still blank as well.
Possibilty that OP got a phantom update message like many phones do.

I had one pop up yesterday when I was on wifi too, but I dismissed it since I just got my Play rooted. Wonder what it is. I'm on Verizon.

I think the op should do the update, and brick his phone so we can all get the new update Take one for the team lol
If theres a new update, i hope it comes with a button to disable auto brightness

If I relocked my bootloader would I be safe? Or could it still brick?

If you relock your bootloader you can OTA without any issues you wont get the DRM certificates back though

Dont know how the OP has got notice of one tbh.
No update for Global Generic.
OP must have had the Update inception dream.
Got a UK unbranded Xperia Play here and no update........still. Seriously why is it taking so long for the update to be released for the Play when it's out for the Arc and Neo. Not impressed :|.
Any one in Canada received the 3.2 update from Samsung or has it not been released here yet?
I haven't received it yet. Probably not out yet.
Yes, I have, I'm in Gatineau Quebec and it was there last week and again yesterday when I plug into Kies even if I'm on Task 6.1.
what firmware is the update? Android HC 3.2, but what firmware code specifically?
did you do the update or stay with Task?
Kies will not connect for me regardless of what I do -- I have given up on it and will flash using Odin and download using CheckFus or an uploaded firmware and so it would be nice to know what designation is being presented by Kies.
official response from Samsung Canada is that it has not bee released here yet and the 3 different CSR's I have spoken to do not know why it has not been released and when it will be.
Wonder if I use Tunnelbear switched to US and then connect Kies if it will pull the update from Samsung US?

And did you purchase your tab in Canada or the U.S.?
Update not available in kies or OTA here (just checked again)
In case it is not clear in my sig, my tab is stock non-rooted
Im on Task 6.1. I bought it new in the box from a gent from Ottawa and I could'nt tell you where its from as I installed a custom rom first thing when I got home. But all my info and registration including Kies points to Canada. I just assumed that like my Asus Transformer OTA were location based not firmware based. Sorry if this misled anyone.
Unfortunately Tunnel Bear did help get the update.
I am in Canada, and I put the US update on. What would the difference be for Canada?
How? Samsung Canada have not released it yet.

This is what I did, I rooted my tab, then installed the rom from post #115 of this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346227&page=12
I also used the pit file on post #121 of the same thread
using odin. When I plugged in with Kies, it said an update was available.
Granted I purchased my dad's tab in the states, I was able to get the ota for it in Ontario two days ago. His is stock.
Just checked the box its model GTP7510UWR it had software version XXKG6. Inside everything was bilingual so it looks like it was a canadian model, however depending on the rom I had on it, kies may had seen it as a US model. Since I'm on Task 6.1 I don't get the update.
I'm also on a stock tab 10.1 in Ontario and haven't been able to get an update via kies or OTA. Just keep getting the "no update available" message when I check.
I'm following Samsung on twitter, who have said they will tweet when its released. I'd love to know there excuse for not releasing it yet, they'll probably claim the market is too small and therefore the distribution costs are too high......the usual bull**** we get up her for getting screwed over.

Is there something vastly different between the Canadian version and the US version? If not, I don't see why we should wait around until they release it in Canada...
That's why I upgraded
To what, being American? Some would consider that a downgrade!

I just flased the US KMM onto my Canadian version. No issues whatsoever and now I should get any future US updates instead of being stuck in the cold waiting for new Canadian versions.

I just received my Oreo update for my Unlocked S8+. Has anyone else received it yet? I'm thinking since we have Safestrap and now custom rom support that I'll cancel the update and wait for an AOSP rom.

I was on T-Mobile but switched to MetroPCS two days ago. (Same network)
It's true... I am on Sprint with G995U1 and I am currently downloading a 1354.14MB update.
I had to check for it, but it found it and downloaded it. My phone is unlocked. Update applied without issues.
Loving finally having the auto fill API.
Just checked my software updates for the first time in weeks and there it was! Unfortunately they're working on our electrical system, so I won't be able to download it until WiFi is back up, but it'll give me time to back things up.
Factory unlocked running on T-Mobile
Can anyone confirm if Hotspot remains functional after the update without carrier involvement.
Thanks
