No you can't, update will fail. Sorry. You have to flash a newer ROM like you flashed the first one and you will lose everything not backed up.

How to get Samsung Firmware upgrades

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.
Errror 801812DD
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.

Mango Beta 2 Update available from Microsoft

Hello,
today i received a mail from Microfosft (I am registred as developer).
The sent me files to update to Mango. But before that they want to BackUp my phone, where my update was canceled.
It looks like the same Zune BackUp, when you do an update.
Is there any way to do this update with an HD2?

nope and you wouldnt want to either
there is a lot of HD2 specific files in this, if you dump an official update on it there is a good change you will bugger up the device again
There are several Threads concerning the Mango-update now..why open another?
well i thougth the official beta update would be more usefull. but i thought wrong you (of some1else) could delete this thread

[Q] How to update firmware?

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...
