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.

I just checked the OTA-Update manually (Preferences->Info) and there it was.
Download just finished (79.88 MB) the name is:
OTA_hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1

Ok, now we have the 2.1... but how should i as a root user with stock 1.5 rom handle this? Can i directly install this update (when it's rooted) or do i have to install the pre-update for that? Would be nice to hear an answer
No update message yet for my T-Mobile G2 Touch (Netherlands)
Also checked manually and started the download -> Switzerland
croatia too

Sad the copy text feature in the Browser is still broken on 2.1... a cursor appears but can't be moved with the trackball I can only select by touching which is not really accurate.
Since Whole Europe gets the same update, so, the same version, is HTC now able to push the next update faster (if they come anyway?)

Probably no other major updates coming for the hero.. bug fixes possibly.. but we would be very very lucky to get an official froyo upgrade.
Sprint has already announced that it will not be providing Froyo for the Sprint hero.. So I think chances are slim for the GSM
I've searched around the forum and can't find anything so I figured I'd just ask.
I ran SEUS and it says there is an update available, and the first time it downloaded a 133 MB file, but i didn't notice anything different when I rebooted the phone. Now it keeps telling me there is an update available, but it doesn't seem to download anything and the update doesn't seem to do anything either.
Anyone have this happen or know the thread where it may have been addressed before?
[UPDATE I actually found some other users in the Update 1.6 by country thread so I'm just going to post there from now on. I don't know why I didn't think of looking in there. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717818&page=30 ]
You need to give us some information about the update and current version you have FW.
Seus has never found an update for my phone. I've manually upgraded firmware twice and currently using ver R2BA024.
Does Seus allow update by country? Has anyone in Australia gotten update through Seus?
I have. When I plugged my X10 in it and I pressed the Update button it told me there is a newer version available.

I'm on the stock AT&T firmware. I just got the phone last week.
I am assuming that you don't know where to read the firmware version.
Push the left button on your phone while you are on the main screen(no lock)
select "settings" and then go all the way down to the end and select "About Phone" and read the last number which is says "Build Number"
The page you are actually on has the least information about your phone.
I am aware that there was an update for ATT last to couple weeks ago but sometimes SEUS goes crazy and notify you when there is none. Your phone probably is branded "means that att has locked it" and you may want to unbrand it (you can search the development section for that) you can also root to get access to all the programs if you need to uninstall them.
Unfortunately Android 2.1 is not out for this phone as of now but it will be. They will first release for unbranded phone (this is what they have told us) and then branded later this year. It may take sometimes for ATT to update but if you wait you can flash a different one when its available on this forum later.
I hope I could help you a bit.

And I assumed you would know that the stock AT&T FW version was 1.6 and the build number is R2CA016 which I thought was common knowledge and is why I didn't initially post it. I guess both of our assumptions were wrong.
I know my way around android and I already knew everything you posted. None of which answers my question except for the part about SEUS going "crazy". I didn't want to even try doing a full root and going to a different build until after the 2.1 update. I've used SWM to load the x10 root app so I could use Titanium to remove the at&t crapware already. I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but I'm not a noob and 90% of your post was made with the assumption I was.
I've been following all of the 2.1 update threads and I wasn't even considering it was the 2.1 update. I just wasn't sure what it COULD have been since I also couldn't find any kind of update history either.

I have an AT&T streak I got a week or so ago. Last night I successfully upgraded it to 2.2 using the info from modaco. (AT&T 1.6 -> o2 1.6 -> 6267-> 2.2)
Today just for giggles I tried to do software update check and noticed the URL for the update check showed my current baseband number (00) but also listed my service tag number. That got me thinking. Is Dell then keeping track of which service tags ship with which baseband and then will not allow ota upgrades if it doesn't match what their records show?
Thoughts? I hope that isn't the case. I was going to return my streak to reorder the US unlocked version they were going to sell in a couple weeks but cancelled that cause I was able to get baseband 00 and 2.2 installed. Now I am wondering if I should still do it cause I don't want to be excluded from further ota updates.
future updates can also be applied the same way you did with 2.2
Yeh I relalize that but still would be nice to just be able to get ota updates and not have to worry about it.
well cant say really much about it since it needs to happen first. my steak is that they use servicetags for the update mechanisme , like they do on pc. this isnt going to send out any personal data but it can track the device if stolen or anything.
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.
With all these updates from MS and device specific updates from OEMs it's quite easy to lose track of the updates. Especially if you have modified your device via registry and might have missed out. So this thread is just to keep track of all the updates released for Omnia 7 so far.
Right now, I have a device which was C7 unlocked after the pre-nodo update. Updated to Nodo and used Samsung tools prevent relocking. No samsung specific updates so far.
List so far
1)Pre-Nodo
2)Nodo
I Chevron unlocked it the day I got it, no updates available, then used that registry unbranding and got the Pre-Nodo right away. Haven't gotten the Nodo update yet.
Mine's from Germany btw.
