[Q] Mango Beta 2 trial anyone? - Venue Pro General

So if you were to receive an invitation to install the Mango Beta 2 firmware, and given all the current issues with the DVP, would you:
Install it right now, wifi be damned
Wait for the July firmware fix, then blend up a cool Mango lassi
Mango Tango, who's Ted Nugent? Leave me alone
I've already installed the Mango beta and my DVP is no worse than it was before

NoDo on my LG Quantum with AT&T

Today I interestingly enough received an update notification from microsoft.
I came home from work and sure enough it was saying I was elgible for the NoDo update.
A couple of weeks ago I performed the hack to get the pre NoDo update here: http://www.wpcentral.com/easy-hack-forces-nodo-update
I just wanted to share the word in case others were interested. It is flashing now, and going smooth so far.

Nevermind :-/ Update is failing at backing up the phone at 33%. There is a driver issue on my PC :-/
Jason
After a computer reboot, nodo flashed fine. It is complete now.

I got nodo work 2
Sent from my LG-C900 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
I got NoDo after flashing the stock AT&T firmware, then putting a Telstra SIM in the phone (Telstra are listed as providing updates for the Quantum)

May security update?

Has anyone received the May security update yet?
I have not. Update will take us to version 7392. It is supposed to correct invalid sercuirty certificates. Does this mean the certificate installed as part of the Chevron process?
Got an update notice today but I already had let the house.
Rogers sim unlocked Focus on Telus.
after debranding

I did not get the update until debranding.
Paul Thurrott said on his blog ( in the comments) that he got the update on his AT&T-branded Focus, as did many others.
cool, thanks guys
No
Nothing yet for my ATT Focus.
Nothing for me, either.
ATT, NoDo, stock as a rock.
I updated tonight. At 7392 now.
OUCH
From Engadget today:
"Microsoft has confirmed that phones updated using "any unofficial mechanisms" to NoDo (which was 7390) will not be able to get 7392 via its very official mechanism: Zune."

They mean the chevron method, not the unbranding method with VPN.
I used VPN method and am now at 7392
Still no notice
Anyone else on AT&T still waiting for the notice an update is available? Mine's still saying I'm up to date at 7390. Updated with timing trick and then rebranded, hardware v1.3. What a frustrating rollout process.

Bummer. Well, I hope those straggling notices roll in soon. I was getting worried with so many others reporting they got it.
I am waiting as well....thought I might be the only one since I did things a little bit differently in that I had NoDo via the Hungary update, then did the SSL to 7392, then rolled back to 7390, then did a hard reset. So for me it is good news to know others are still waiting......thought maybe doing the roll-back stuffed it up for my phone.
Looks like we are waiting for AT&T to finish its own testing again. Currently, AT&T is testing NoDo update for Focus rev 1.4 firmware. Hopefully, when that is done, AT&T will start testing our security update. We won't see this until mid summer at best
I thought by now we all know what to expect. Every update needs to go through carrier testing and AT&T is one of the worst in finishing testing on time.
I unbranded my NODO Focus to 000-88 and the message showed up on my phone that there was an update available. I rebranded to att-us and no update available.

Similar to me then, except I then did a hard reset.
I am on Rev 1.3 and not Rev 1.4, so there should not be any waiting for ATT to finish testing NoDo for Rev 1.4 before testing 7392 for Rev 1.4

I'm pretty there is only one testing group inside AT&T. If it is currently still testing NoDo for rev 1.4, it won't test anything else including security update for rev 1.3.
Debrand!

If you want the update, all you have to do is debrand, again. Then rebrand, if you wish, or don't. It really was that simple for me - one string, in one key.

[Q] What is the highest firmware version for the Samsung Focus at 7392?

I am having trouble updating to Mango, so I am wondering if part of my problem is older firmware. I have a Focus v1.4
For those of you with a Samsung Focus on 7392, what is your firmware revision number? Mine is 2103.11.4.1
Define trouble in your case.

I have a thread here about it.
The Mango beta (7712) is done before Microsoft could fix the Focus v1.4 issue in 7392, IIRC. So, I suspect the the actual beta bits is not compatible with Focus v1.4. You should sit tight and wait for the official Mango release from AT&T.

double lame on Focus v1.4. Super late release of NoDo, no Mango beta...

AT&T Beta Bundle Cleanup

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.
OS 7.5
OS version 7.10.7720.68
Firmware 2250.1800.7720.219
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.

DVP Mango Update: To Restore or Not To Restore?

Hello,
I am one of the many users who have updated to the Beta version of Mango. Now that the official version of Mango has released, I want to update to that, but I don't know if I should restore to Nodo or not.
Even though I have the Beta version on my phone I actually do get the notification that there is an update ready and all I have to do is click on "Update" for the process to begin, but I don't know if I should do the update considering I have on my phone the beta version.
Should I restore to Nodo and than update or will the update succeed if I update with the Beta version of Mango? Does it matter which way I do it?
Thanks!
just update to the final via zune.
there is no downside.
Hi, I got the same question as Erchino and Zurvv's comment is not very clear.
I have the mango beta version installed and the Zune 4.7 build which was required for it. Previously it was told to revert back to Nodo before installing the official version of mango, but now I get the update option when connected to zune so does that mean i dont need to go back to Nodo?? Also do i need to update my zune (4.7) before updating the phone?
Could someone please write down the steps to go from mango beta to the official version.
Thank you.
Install latest version of zune to be safe.
Plugin phone
Upgrade
MANGO!
Depends. Does your compass work now? Because it doesn't work on the new official mango.
