Trying to sort out why some have certain problems and others don't with the Focus. Does everyone with a focus and is pre February update have the exact same version numbers for the os, firmware, and hardware? Or asked another way, did Samsung change the firmware version along the way? Here are my specs.
Focus on AT&T
OS Version 7.0.7004.0
Firmware Number 2103.10.10.1
Hardware Number 3.1.0.7
Radio Software 2103.10.10.1
Radio Hardware 0.0.0.3
Bootloader 4.10.0.1
Chip SOC 0.36.2.0
thats what mine was.... i have one of the first ones the stores got..
Mine too
That's what mine says, bought it on December 27th, 2010.
Mine has the following
Focus on AT&T
OS Version 7.0.7004.0
Firmware Number 2103.10.11.2
Hardware Number 3.1.0.7
Radio Software 2103.10.11.2
Radio Hardware 0.0.0.3
Bootloader 4.11.0.9

I got mine in the first week and shows a firmware version older than yours. I wonder if the newer firmware is less buggy. My Bluetooth is terrible. How does yours work? If I can determine that newer firmware is actually slightly better, I will go and try to do a warranty exchange.
Sorry, but I haven't really used Bluetooth so I can't comment on that. What's the negative to just trying the exchange and see?
None really. Unless it gets worse. I'll give it a shot now that I know there are different versions of the firmware out there. Thanks!

Speaking from personal experience: The Pre-NoDo update (7008) seems to have included some kind of Bluetooth fixes. My phone can now auto-connect to my Toyota Prius' bluetooth handsfree unit without any problems at all. Before, it would periodically "forget" that it was paired with the car or else the car's auto-connect function would not be able to connect to the Focus.
Those problems are now gone and I'm really enjoying using the phone in the car for speakerphone purposes!
Mine is a bit different. I received notice of the February Update but it always timed out during the install so I have not updated yet.
Focus on Rogers (bought in December)
OS Version 7.0.7004.0
Firmware Number 2124.10.10.2
Hardware Number 3.1.0.7
Radio Software 2124.10.10.2
Radio Hardware 0.0.0.3
Bootloader 4.10.1.1
Chip SOC 0.36.2.0
Mine is the same as these after the pre-nodo and nodo update:
OS Version 7.0.7390.0
Firmware Number 2103.10.10.1
Hardware Number 3.1.0.7
Radio Software 2103.10.10.1
Radio Hardware 0.0.0.3
Bootloader 4.10.0.1
Chip SOC 0.36.2.0
I wonder if people using the work around to get the updates now will miss the firmware updates. I will be curious what a Focus looks like after an official ATT release.
I was the first person to get one on release day at my store. Same numbers after NoDo as everyone else.
Does anyone know if there are supposed to be firmware updates in the pre-nodo or nodo update for the Focus? What I get from this article (http://wpcentral.com/dell-venue-pro-getting-nodo-starting-today-separate-firmware-update-coming-later), is that MS updates don't have firmware updates. Seems that comes from the manufacture. Unless this is something just for the DVP. Thanks

Not Sure if any At&T secific updates will come over air or Zune, but in any case you could rebrand the phone after NoDo update and get any carrier updates after the fact.

Looks like this might be a good call. If this is true for ATT as well: http://wpcentral.com/samsung-focus-rogers-bell-getting-firmware-update. We should re-brand our phones back to ATT-US and when ATT releases the updates we should get the firmware update since its a separate update after NoDo. If the link is correct.
There's a guy on Rogers with a focus that said he got updated firmware when he did the Nodo update. It makes sense that OEMs would give any firmware updates to MS to be included in the official update. All Focus phones should get the same firmware regardless of carrier. I would guess that official or not, any NoDo update should include everything a specific phone needs minus any last minute tweeks by a carrier than is dragging their feet.

Same as mine and my Wife's. Got them in the first 2 weeks they came out.
I seen the firmware update inside the diagnostics menu about 2 months ago , I cant remember where it was , but it did say an update was available , I have the same 2103.10.10.1 (OS 7.0.7390.0) , I unbranded both of my focuses and got the updates !
I just wish I could remember where that was , it always happens when your looking for something else you stuble across something thats a game changer and you cant remember where it is!

Same here, just forced the update to NoDo. I was surprised as well that the Firmware, Radio Software and Bootloader did not change. Thought they would.
So as near as I can tell, those doing unofficial updates are not seeing a firmaware update. Those doing official updates may be getting a firmware update but the number of reports of this are so low that it's hard to say for sure. We do know that there are different firmware versions out there possibly from different production batches. I guess we'll have to wait and see when AT&T officially updates if there is a firmware update included. Also if anyone getting an official update on any carrier could post if they did or did not get a firmware update, that would be helpfull too. It would be great to know if the differences in firmware have any impact on some of the known issues. I haven't seen any posts that cover this. It would be hard to tell though as you wouldn't know if it's the OS update or the firmware that made the difference.

I have unlocked but T-Mobile UK branded Omnia 7. It is still on 7004 version, and Zune is still saying that my phone is up to date. I can't even update to 7008, not to mention No-Do update.
Does anyone else have same Omnia 7? Can you update your phone?
Thanks,

you can install chevron tool and debrand the phone. You will get the update notification immediately.
I just checked in zune and there is an update for my omnia (finally!). Tmobile UK branded.
same in germany with t-mobile D. Hopefully everything will go well, i have the defekt bootloader.
fyi the first update only installed the 7008 version but the second one was displayed immediately after that. Im still in the installation process, wish me luck

Good luck!
I have the defective bootloader so just did the resistor trick to get into download mode and applied the samsung patch. Not showing any available updates yet though. (I'm on 7390)
i have the defect bootloader as well and it went well, no problem with updating to 7392 and is got a new firmware and bootloader version as well. PERFECT!
Orange UK, still on 7008
fyi, i posted this befor in another thread, perhaps this will help someone
---------
After the official T-Mobile (Germany) Update i also have new firmware etc.
OS: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware: 2424.11.2.3
Hardware: 3.15.0.4
Radio: 2424.11.2.2 (i think equal to the one of the newest firmware release I8700XXKC1 XXKB2)
Bootloader: 5.2.1.4
I had the defect Bootloader 4.10.1.9 before but everything went without a problem! Glad i didnt force any update. things that last will be good in the end ^^
I noticed, that if i swipe accidentially on the "back" or "search" button when surfing or in games, they will not be activated. Only if i lift the finger. PERFECT!
Got the update from nodo to the may update today firmware update that fixed the bootloader
OS Ver: 7.0.7392.0
Firmware: 2424.11.2.3
H/W : 3.15.0.4
Radio Software: 2424.11.2.2
Radio H/W: 0.0.0.800
Bootloader: 5.2.1.4
SOC Ver: 0.36.2.0
I also received 7008 update today, and 7392 right after that. Both installed without any problems, although I had bootloader that was not able to enter download mode. Now I have new bootloader 5.2.1.4. Is this one capable of entering download mode??
yes it is possible to enter the download mode now.
kudos to ms, tmobile and samsung, im really suprised after i expected the worst! Now the branded phones run even newer firmware than the unbranded.
Just plugged into Zune and was offered this.
Anyone else got it?
I'm installing it.
I got an omnia 7.

what was your previous version??
I have flashed to KC1 and the only Difference i can spot is that the bootloader has a higher number..
Actually there is KC3 update from what I saw, check this link
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...3G/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support#
it updates some parts of the system, SLDR1, SLDR2 and bootloader for sure, don't know about the rest.
//the SLDR and SLDR2 might have come as imageupdate, but the bootloader probably not. It is quite older update so I am not sure if it is still supposed to be new or not
Generic phones will always get updates first. When Samsung get the update from Microsoft and tailor it to the Omnia 7, after testing, it goes public on the generic phones and they also send it out to the netowork operators to then add their own branding and other stuff.
Only other thing i've noticed so far is that the keypad typing tone has changed. It no longer plays a sound for every key press.
Hello,
in spain with a unbranded omnia 7 i not have the update available :-(
This update 'bricked' my phone as it won't start to the OS and only gets into recovery or download mode. When trying to do a backup reinstall with zune (it automatically recognizes the phone is in recovery mode and needs to be repaired) the process gets to 99% and then an error pops up. Also the windows phone update support tool doesn't recognize my phone being in recovery mode and the samsung support tool doesn't put the OS back into functioning. What should I do now ? Luckily I kept a recent backup but not being able to restore the backup sucks.

thanks for the info!
Has anyone other than Orange users got this update ?
Someone on the Windows Phone Blog saying they can't update it and get a repeated error code.
It really does seem to be luck of the draw as to whos updates ok and whos doesn't.
However I always clear as much space as possible on my device before i try to update. I try and have at least 4gb free with a decent charge in my battery and i plug straight into a back USB2 port and so far touch wood, it's been ok for me.
Does anyone know what the recent Samsung firmware update does?
Per the About screen:
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.7
Radio software version: 2103.11.8.1
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.3
Bootloader version: 5.8.0.2
Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0
The update did not specify any bug fixes so I'm just curious what it does.
uh, os version.... that would be mango no?
Is this from AT&T?
where/when did you get the firmware update? I havent seen any update notifications on my device yet. i updated my focus to Mango RTM as soon as it was available, my firmware still shows as 2103.11.3.3 also my radio software and Bootloader are different than yours also, Radio is 2103.11.3.3 and Bootloader is 5.3.1.6
Is yours 1.3 or 1.4 ???
Rogers already got 2124.10.12.2
When did you got update notice on Rogers?
I am using NoDo Focus on Rogers and it says No updates available...

I'm still stuck on 2103.10.10 and all the force updates that I've tried have failed. Any ideas?
Ditto on the 2103.10.10.1. I'm still stuck on this (rev 1.3 phone) and haven't been offerened any other updates. Is it possible to force a firmware upgrade as it seems like this firmware is also the reason that I am unable to InterOP Unlock.
Try this. I forced mine when mango came out officially. I thought I bookmarked the page but this is all I have saved. I know it's somewhere here on the forums.

I got the Samsung update on "mango day" I was already on the leaked RTM 7720 so I was stoked to be getting any update what so ever . Turns out that update is firmware and it brought me up to date and back on the update track . What it does is going to depend on what version you are running but if you have mango I can tell you what it did for me. First thing I noticed was the touch to focus on the camera it would focus b4 on touch but not in specific spots of the screen , The compass now works , diagnostics , hmmm I a sure there are alot more but just a few I noticed rite away.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Just recieved 3 updates in a row. Still on the last one which says it gives the phone the ability to update to the Official Mango. Hopefully right away it'll update to Mango lol.
Ok, now it just started a Dell update. I'm crossing my fingers for more.

Don't know if I'm still on the Beta or what is different but I'll take it.
I'm sure there's many other ways to tell if you're on the final release or the beta, but one I know: check to see if you can add a hidden wireless network in the Wifi settings.

Are you on a locked AT&T phone or unlocked?
Honestly, I'm an Android user who bought this a few weeks ago and am not sure. It's on AT&T but I don't know if its locked or not. But I did find out that it is officially on Mango now.
Hi, I'm trying to investigate whether my samsung focus (SGH-i917) can be flash upgraded with a windows phone 7.8 ROM. I've seen custom ROMs available for rev1.3 or rev1.4, so I began trying to figure out which one my phone is.
There is no such revision is listed on the label behind the battery, and when I check via the diagnosis application I see this:
HW VERSION: REV0.8
I can't find any reference to a focus hw revision 0.8 anywhere online. This is confusing to me because 1.3 is referred to as "first generation".
Has anyone heard of hw revision 0.8? Am I simply out of luck?
Much appreciated, my full Settings > about info:

HW revision 1.0 was sent to developers or was a DEMO phone. Older revisions than 1.0 must be test builds.
It should work flashing 1.3 (as the hardware is the closest) but there's no guarantee it will work. A few users in the forum reported success flashing 1.3 when they realized they bought a 1.0 (which was not supposed to be sold).
Also, the fact that it's updated to 7720 kind of suggests it will work.

Thanks very much for the info, I'll give it a try and report back on whether it works or not. If I brick it then I suppose it'll be be the universe's way of telling me I should just upgrade already.

If it bricks (I doubt it), you should be able to flash the stock rom without issues.
