So Im fixing this post to make it more clear for everyone and to help out the few who need it. If you are a Unlocked or Tmobile DVP user had updated your phone to Mango and didnt back up you NoDo back up, so you werent able to get the .212 FW fix. This is for you.
So if you are running Mango 7713 or 7714 that was released it removed you from the main update stream and you werent able to get any updates rolled out. However, there has now been a new Mango verison released which is the RTM 7720 build, meaning it will put you back in the main update stream and you will be able to get all future updates. Go to the Windows Phone 7 forum here and follow the instrustions on how to update you phone to that build. When done you zune software will tell you there is another update for your phone which is the .212 FW update. This is really safe and hard to mess up, and you can always restore to where you are no if you mess up. Just after you do your updates this time make sure you back up you back ups! If you have any questions feel free to ask!

So If you update to 7720 (the leaked RTM copy of mango found in the windows fourms) It will allow you to update to .212 after even if you lost your other backups. Because 7720 is back in the main update stream you can get it!

the major question is post 7720 f/w updating that concerns me
What's concerning about it? Its the RTM build its safe and stable. Its the exact same version the next next line of windows phones will be released with.

whether users will get the oem update not on nodo not the os update...because it seems like microsoft and OEMs are bundling the mango firmware and mango os together. We have the OS not the firmware
I've held off on mango altogether until i get the at&t .212fw just because i didnt want to have to revert. But if this is the case (can get mango, then get update) i just may bite the bullet and get rolling. Although...dell said mid august for at&t, so close...yet so far.
They are not putting the two updates together. they are still two seprate ones. and because 7720 in back in the main update stream you dont have to worry about missin out on any updates.

I Had question to someone:
1. What the latest updates for LG Quantum AT&T?
2. What is Nodo? Are NoDo is official update from Microsoft?
3. Where i can download free Angry Birds
4. Why Google didnt make app for WP7 devices?
5. Are my data in phone memory when updating my phone are gone?
Sorry for my bad English
As a Microsoft Student Insider, I can answer these questions.
The latest update is the 7392 update. This is a minor update released after Nodo. NoDo is the codename for the first major update for the Windows Phone operating system. It is an official Microsoft update. In order to get an update, just connect your quantum to your windows system using the Zune client software. Any (and all) updates to the Windows Phone operating system that Microsoft releases is free. In regards to updating, you cannot apply the latest update directly. You must apply the updates in steps (for example, stock rom version -> 7008 -> Nodo -> 7392 -> Mango (when it is released).
Angry Birds is not free. I believe it costs $2.99 (or whatever it costs in your currency).
Probably the best reason that Google didn't make Windows Phone versions of its apps is because it already has Android (and if it did make them, Google would just be feeding its competition).
Any data that was on your device before an update is applied will be there after the update. During the update process, the Zune client backs up the files on your system and restores them after the update has been applied. If something does go haywire during the update process, you can use the backup that the Zune client made to restore your device to the way it was before your last update.
I hope this helps you and answers your questions. If you want some good insight and news on windows phone, feel free to check out my blog (link is in my signature below).
You can also get the Mango Beta 2 update. You can find the procedures here on the WP7 forum.

It's in beta, which means that it is not the finished product and there may be some bugs that haven't been fixed yet, but most of the important bugs have been fixed. If you want to play it safe, just wait until an (official) update for Mango is put out.

Any improvements in radio from 5.54.09.21 to 5.65.09.25a ??
Sry if asking a stupid question but is this the official tmous rom. because my comp did not save my backup and im ready to run from mango back to nodo so is it safe to flash this rom on any tmous hd7.
Can this be installed if you are running Mango Beta?

Only Zune is able to backup your things. This is a updated ROM, not and update from Zune, so it will wipe everything you have on your device.
Unfortunatly, Microsoft did not developed yet a way to backup your apps + data.

I will try this and let you know. Probably yes, but you will loose your Mango and the everything else on device.

Probably if you're using Mango, you're running Zune Beta Client.
I had Mango and the regular Zune Software on my machine and the updater didn't recognize my device. I entered in USB Mode and everything went fine.
Ofcourse, all the phone was wiped.
Things I realized 'til now:
1 - The performance seems better than the previous NoDo update;
2 - EDGE icon now shows 2G;
3 - There are more languages even for keyboard and the display (cool!!!);
4 - Wifi seems to be 'smarter' and 'faster'. Took less time to connect than before;
Can't tell about the battery life yet.
I'm yet thinking in upgrade to Mango Beta since probably we will have news about RTM update soon.

I just went ahead and rolled back to nodo and did the update over Zune. Here's what I've noticed.
1. As mentioned above edge is replaced with 2G icon.
2. Signal strength is much improved. Thanks HTC.
3. FM radio reception is much improved.
4. The pink tint issue with the camera is fixed.
5. Camera takes much better photos now. Not getting all the blurriness anymore.
6. WiFi connects much faster.
7. Interface is much smoother/faster. Who would have thought that was possible since the interface was already pretty fast.
8. Speaker volume improved.
I'll be testing the battery life today but I've read others saying that the battery life is also improved. Will be testing bluetooth today also. I had issues where mp3s would actually skip over bluetooth and streaming audio would come across slow like a record on the wrong speed. Nice job HTC.
Is there any way to just flash the radio and not the OS image? I want to update my hd7 but im running the mango rtm.
Thanks, downloading now. I'm going to save this one as a last resort just in case my pre-Mango backup doesn't work right.

Make sure your running Zune 4.8 go into your settings to check if it begins with 4.8 your good if not you have to download the the package its around 258mb's.
I was running the mango beta 2 so I just rolled back to NoDo, let Zune install the HTC update, then did the procedure for installing mango beta 2 again and got mango 7712 instead. NICE!!! I feel like I have a new phone.

RTM is 7720, what you are talking about is 7712, which was released for developers yesterday. 7712 is sort of a final RC, which Microsoft deemed to be "good enough" for developers to use to begin testing their software for release.
Anyone know if this contains the latest HTC update for the phone? Or is this a newer radio or something?
Has anyone heard any word out of DFT on a ripe Mango for HD2??
I know there was some speculation that they might not release it until after the official Mango release, so I'm wondering if there's been and rumblings now that the Fujitsu-Toshiba phone was released yesterday.
If I can't get it on my HD2, I'll probably rush to get the first Mango device that hits US shelves, and likely regret it once something better comes out. At lease if I hear something is on the horrizon for the HD2, I'll be much more inclined to wait to see the hardware options.
Hi,
There have been some development, although not from DFT,

SD support is broke so there isn't any actual point in flashing Mango tomorrow, you can play around with it, but you'll have serious data storage problems as you'll only have a couple of MB to actually use.
DFT/Cotulla have said something about wanting to wait for Mango to be released officially before releasing, but I don't know if that is actually a soon release or something in a couple of months time.
does anyone have an ETA?
On the thread linked earlier, YukiXDA has implied something will be available tonight. Whether they will have rectified the SD issue by then remains to be seen.
I'd say it is coming soon though (and will be updateable )
there a way to get 7720. havent be able to do it yet but i have got 7712 fully working without any bugs
7712 - 7720
Is 7712 working with SD including partition (to allow dual boot Android on SD)? How did you get there?
I have seen some other threads suggesting you can update 7712 to 7720 using Zune, does this work on your 7712 build?

I think this page covers updating from 7712 to 7720 but there are still unresolved problems with SD card/partition, unless anyone has an update

This page covers a new rom starting at 7004 and going all the way through to Nodo via Zune and then Mango when MS release it via Zune. Or you can go from Nodo to Mango via the dev route if you can't wait.
Yeh the SD card gets locked to WP7 but seriously why would you want to dual boot Android and WP7... just pick one and go with it, what's the point in dual booting?

(1) I use for both work and home use and
(2) I am confident enough to rely on Android but Mango is not (yet) fully reliable
Pre-Mango WP7 lacks some features so (for now) I am using 6.5 + Android
Kinda lost, still don't fully understand WP7. I bought the phone a few weeks ago with a Mango Beta installed on it. Someone brought it to my attention that when the legit Mango comes out that I won't be able to update to it. How can I get my phone to where I can update it when the official Mango release comes out? I have searched this but I'm not sure if reading on a different phone forum makes a difference. And people answer this question in different ways so it's a little confusing. Thanks guys!
First thing to do is check which version of the software you have on your phone, settings - about - more info.
If you have an OS version number greater than 7.0.7392 but less than 7720 you have a beta build of the OS and you wont be able to directly update the OS to Mango. This is because when the beta version of the OS was loaded it took a backup of your phone for you to return to when the official update was released. The backup is keyed to you device ID and means that a backup from someone else's phone wont work on yours.
However there are methods that will allow you to update to the RTM version of the OS at this link HERE or HERE but be warned that the update that is coming out in the next couple of weeks will have the extra drivers and tweaks that are specific to the DVP from Dell.
If you don't feel confident with that, you could try getting the person you bought it from to restore it back to the old version so that you can receive your update, or phoning dells support (Ouch!)
Looks like there may be an official way to install the final Mango without rolling back to NoDo first:

Bummer... wish I had known about this "Friends n Family" update last week before I restored Nodo. (Stupid rumors!!!) It's like a totally different phone. Here's hoping the update is coming soon.
That's awesome! That looked like such a pain that I was probably going to stay on the beta lol.
Awesome, I'll make a thread with precise steps so people may see it and finally get our DVP's fixed and updated!

And spam your own site as you do? Ugh.
Sup people,
What is the latest version of the OS out there for the DVP?
7.xx.xxxx?
Right now I have 7.10.7720.
To beat a dead horse, these things can't be updated right? No one has figured out how to do it?
7.10.8773.98 is the latest update
The current version for DVP is 7.10.8773.98. The updates have been released by Dell and Microsoft long back, but telecom companies like TMO and ATT have been holding back the updates. There have been many instances of users angry posts on various forums including microsoft answers and latest I read a couple of days back is that Windows 7.8 will be directly sent by MS to phones bypassing the operators, so I think as Windows 7.8 release date seems some time OCT-DEC 2012, its best to wait for the update as all phones would definitely be getting the 7.8 bypassing the operators.

Mine is running 7.10.8773. A few weeks back I had a notification that it had an update and plugged it into zune and it updated. I am on T-Mobile in the US if that helps.
The latest WP7 rom for any device is 8779.
Officially the VP is somewhere between 7720 and 8773 (as in what it will recieve over zune updates/OTA)
There has yet to be a single user that recieved the 8779 update to actually bother getting the urls for it, we only have up to 8773 so officially or unofficially that is the latest version for the VP.
Hopefully when WP7.8 launches we'll get the 8779 urls (as that's how WP updates usually work)
We're on T-Mo US too and haven't recieved any notifications.
My mom's HD7 is on 8107, with both our phones saying "no update found".
Can they be forced?
Assuming you know what languages are already on your device: yes.
The firmware bundle might be a bit of an issue, so you really need to read and plan or you might end up with a brick.
Only the lumias are reliably getting 8779 as it's still carrier/manu dependant what one is officially available.
