plug the phone into PC and open Zune. If it doesn't prompt you to update then in zune go settings> phone> update
I may have had it yesterday but through my phone on the charger w/o looking at it. Saw the update when I got up at 0530, though. Cool that I got it, but I was hoping for Mango and am still waiting on a replacement phone in the mail that is "in production"
Ok, so I tried to update it but Zune didn't say anything so I checked the settings and it said my phone's firmware is 212. Does that mean it did it on it's own? Also when I bought the phone off of somebody almost a month ago they had put the version of Mango that was out already on it. Is it possible that they put this on there too?
firmware wise, you should be good to go. as far as your mango rom on it goes...if someone sold it to you with the beta mango on it, and you dont have a NoDo (pre-mango) backup saved you may be screwed on future updates. You might read up on putting the RTM mango on it, as iirc it puts you back in the main update channel.
a month late well more than a month
you finally get it
it does bring some better life to the phone
Although hard reset after the update
Can this update work over the Mango build?
I also have a DVP on AT&T, but I put the Mango release on it in July and so far my phone sees no update when I connect it. Do I need to revert back to the NoDo, pre mango install state?

Pretty sure youll need to go NoDo again. In fact, I'd stay there for the time being since Mango is imminent.
I got my replacement phone today (AT&T) that shipped out on 9/23. It didn't even have NoDo installed. At least I was able to update it but I would've thought it would at least have NoDo. Damn Dell.
AT&T DVP without nodo would be good thing because you could unlock it then update. Most ( all I thought before reading your post) AT&T DVPs shipped with nodo so no chevron unlock.
Sent from my Venue Pro using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Is AT&T Pushing Mango out to DVP owners now?
I reverted to NoDo and the 7392 update came down. WiFi works! Haven't seen the Mango update yet, though and reverting to NoDo from Mango makes me really miss those Mango features.
The status page on AT&T says that DVP Mango update is in planning. But this thread makes it sound like AT&T users have received a Mango update. The WMPOWERUSER trick of pulling the ethernet on Update has not tricked Zune into updating my phone. So... is the Mango update available from AT&T for DVP or not?

It has not been pushed yet.

Since Dell iced it's WP7 division... is AT&T Mango gonna happen?
Shoud I unlock the phone and go without AT&T integration or wait for Dell/Microsoft to figure this out? As noted, this isn't "scheduled" or "in progress", it's "in planning" which translates to a multi-month delay, or never before we get the update.

Is the OS branded? Meaning when you first got it, did you have AT&T apps? If so, then you'll have to wait until AT&T lets MS release it. Otherwise you should be getting it soon. The NoDo release like all WP7 updates so far is a gradual roll-out.
Actually, here's a better response: Do you have the pre-update?
I'll have to check on the pre-update. So AT&T can control updates on my phone all the way in Pakistan? :S

If your phone is AT&T branded on the OS-level, then it can control updates anywhere for AT&T Focus phones.
So it can be unlocked to be used anywhere in the world, and yet be branded on the OS-level by AT&T?

If your phone has AT&T apps, then it's an AT&T phone. Maybe I'm wrong. However, I think if you buy it locked, its updates are locked to that carrier's schedule. If you have the pre-update, then this conversation is moot. Just go to your About page and see if your OS version is 7.0.7004 or 7.0.7008. If it's 8, then you should be looking for NoDo come out anytime now. If you're on 4, then you won't get it until the AT&T folks get it unless you Dev-unlock it and remove the branding information.

I'm trying to find that out too. Chris Walsh is supposed to be working on a post for people with the HTC Mozart, and (theoretically) the steps shouldn't be too different.
Just as an example, I have an unlocked ATT Focus on Rogers in Canada. I was getting no update available. As soon as I removed the ATT branding using the registry patch, my phone immediately told me that I had the pre-nodo update ready.
Hopefully as soon as Microsoft releases teh nodo for the Focus I will get it instead of having to wait for ATT to approve it.

Hi,
can you quickly point me to the info about how to remove the ATT branding using the registry. First time I hear about the possibility...
Sounds promising!
Thanks!
cheers,
Alex
You need a registry editor. Then go to HKLM\System\Platform\\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
it should say ATT-US. Delete the ATT-US & leave it blank
save - reboot & you're done. You should now get notified of the pre-update.
SR
wait so is there a reason why we shouldnt all do this registry edit and get nodo today? what are the consequences of doing this?
No NoDo

I believe what the posters are saying is that you will get the pre-update to 7008, you will not get NoDo.
so am i better off with 7008. should i do this update so i can get nodo faster or should i just sit and wait with 7004
This assumes you have permission to see that registry value. On my phone Everything under \System is restricted, with no visible subfolder Platform. And since the key presumably exists, you can't just create a key called Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator with blank value (at least I can't do it) because that key can't be overwritten.
HTC devs have of course already figured out how to do it on their phones:
http://blog.walshie.me/2011/03/23/h...-and-get-your-windows-phone-updates-htc-only/
I'm probably switching to an HD7S so I can feel the love of XDA devs again.

Because Google gives me nothing to back this up. The only thing I can find is that Microsoft has stopped the NoDo update not this security update for those who already have NoDo.

Well if i got it right from the post on windowsteamblog.com delivery of all updates has been stopped and not just NoDO. Here is the quote from that blog:
As some of you know, we recently halted delivery of updates to Samsung Omnia 7s after learning of a technical issue that required a new update software package.

I too had read this article: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2011/05/03/latest-update-news.aspx
But because they'd split it into two seperate parts I'd presumed the first part (about Omnia 7 & Focus) was referring to the pre-NoDo and NoDo update. However I can see what you mean now.

Had a few problems with Rainbow *not just the relocking* but I've been using this for 3 days now and its a lot less hassle with an Omnia 7
Same here. Orange UK - Still on 7740.
Orange have been poor with updates. Shame really... I couldn't look at other networks though as Orange have by far the best deals available and do stock a decent range of WP7 handsets.
I've been having major issues with the 3G not working randomly after 8107, so you are quite lucky.
I know this is an oldish thread but has anyone on orange/tmob/everything everywhere or whatever they are calling themselves today have the 8107 update?
The disappearing keyboard is such a pain and I need a fix.
It's Mozart I'm wondering about really because reading up it seems other phones may already have had this update.
I called Orange business support and theire tech guys "don't know about any 8107 update". I thought this was just the call centre woman fobbing me off so sent an email to account managers and they said the same thing even though I sent them offical link from MS about the update.
Wasn't being pushed to my Omnia 7 on T-Mobile UK as of last week.
Is your phone Interop unlocked? If so you could just tweak a registry entry so you receive the update.
If not, you can manually update using the cab sender method. Doesn't require a developer/unlocked phone. I did it myself and its pretty straightforward.
I followed this guide. Easy to do and it shouldn't stop you getting future OS updates (i.e. Tango) and manufacturer firmware updates through Zune. That is, if Orange ever get round to letting them be pushed out.
Thanks sab, I followed the guide and have updated my phone.
I've not seen any problems so going to update my colleagues phone too!
I'm just annoyed with Orange for not pushing updates from MS. I think MS should take control of updates like they do with their operating systems and take the carrier out of it. I appreciate there will be regional issues and carrier specific configurations but it's just silly having updates and not being able to apply them.

Can you confirm this works OK for Orange UK? I don't want to screw up a phone when I still have a few months of the contract left. Also, did you only need 5 language pack on the Mozart? Mine only lists 5 under Display Lancuages, but loads under Region Format.

I've been using it fine since I posted that updated. As has my colleague. So great to fix that annoying 'hidden keyboard' problem.
If I remember correctly, I used the 5 languages pack only. The same as what was listed in the languages section of the phone.
There are no guarantees and you may screw up your phone. That's the risk you'll have to take.

Forgive my asking another stupid question, but my phone only lists "English". Am I correct in assuming this is English-UK?
I'm also wondering if I should to this if it might break the auto-update and the Tango update might be available in the future. Any thoughts?
Finally, my phone's on 7740, not 7720. Anyone know if that would make a difference?
Yes "English" is English UK. Mine is the same.
I can't comment on the Tango update but I doubt it will affect it. This cab update your doing is an official release as far as I know but it's just that you are forcing the update instead of waiting for Orange to do it.
I was on 7740. This should be the latest build(last time I checked) from Orange on my phone anyways - HTC Mozart.
Thread closed, such threads should be started in the General section only.

If you have the phone from AT&T then your ROM carrier is AT&T and you will get the 8107 update when AT&T releases it. That does NOT depend on the current carrier. Your phone's IMEI is in the AT&T database, so when Zune checks for update it looks in your phone in the registry for the OEM carrier, which is AT&T. There are ways to change that in the registry, if you're interop unlocked. Read here.

No problem, glad to assist as we're here to help.
I wouldn't bet on AT&T update being better . Actually, if anything, the AT&T updates have "worse" numbers for Radio (and not only) compared to the Rogers, as you can see in several places across the forum, for example here.
Shortly:
Radio Software version: 2103.11.8.1 (AT&T)
Radio software version: 2124.11.9.3 (Rogers)
However, AT&T seem to mod the ROM specific for their network, and while that might be good locally, I doubt it's good overall. But I can't really tell...

Wait?
Waiting for ATT is like waiting for world peace. Good luck with that. I normally wait for the carrier updates but did not with 7720 or 8107. I used the cab sender method, not the registry change method. In either case, you are getting updates off the Microsoft servers.
Thanks for the clarification,
I think I'll change the registery to my operator Vodafone Egypt and get the update

"I have reviewed your account and the most recent software update was released on 09/27/2011. This was the Windows 7.5 update. If you select settings on your device then phone, it will show you which Windows version you are running. When updates come out for your device, notification will be sent to your phone advising you to update your phone. Unfortunately we are not notified in advance of when new updates are coming out.

This response is not that ATT does not care, it's that they are the last to be notified of updates and the last to know if they are actually going to push the update out; sometimes they wait and skip over an update to have a more significant release. They will not divulge any information until the update is actually released. The only way they will give any hints of an update is if there was a major flaw or demand that customers were looking for ie mango has multitasking custom ringtones, nodo copy and paste. There has been multiple handset receiving official 8107 updates. ATT although the premier carrier for WP7 probably will either wait for the next apollo update or release 8107 offical update about 2 to 4 weeks after the other major carriers (T-mobile) release theres. The reason is they usually incorporate ATT specific features or software with the microsoft update and that ATT is slow in pretty much everything they do haha. You can update with official 8107 update by branding your carrier to rogers through registry edit for the samsung focus. I do not like using cab sender method either.
well i'll wait for them to release it because last time i edited the registry i had install the 7004 roms
