HTC Update for Trophy available

About an hour ago I got message that there is an update for my phone. It is HTC Update, not MS one (I already had NODO). It updated my Firmware and Bootloader to latest versions. I already had latest Radio, so I do not know is it also contain latest Radio, but it should.
My previous information:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.10908.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: haven't wrote version, but it was somthing like (114xxx)
UNLOCKED before NODO update
My new information:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.12000.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)
STILL UNLOCKED!

where
where did you get the update?
was it a message on the phone???
thx

Have yet to receive that update on my Vodafone Trophy, but found this insteresting piece of news related to the HTC update:
http://wmpoweruser.com/has-the-htc-update-caused-some-windows-phones-to-go-16-bit/
Santi writes us about a new complaint about a pretty undesirable side-effect of the recent HTC Windows Phone 7 update. He notes some HTC users are reporting color banding/16bit color across the entire OS after the NoDo and/or yesterday’s update.
He notes it seems mainly related to the new firmware FW 2250.09.11001 and FW 2250.09.12000, with the OS version making no difference and is present on the HTC 7 Trophy and also HTC HD7.
Santi has some more pictures of the banding issue which results in his dropbox account here.
To check if your phone is affected, download this image and view it in the Pictures and Videos hub. it should display without banding.

Yes I get message on the phone. Then I connected to Zune and update.
I was curious to see what will happen if user doesn't have latest Radio, so I flashed my phone with older release of ansar's ROM (7004 OS with 5.52 Radio). I know that someone will ask that once, and I had a little free time.
First I got notification about February update and clicked install later.
I unlocked my phone and installed patch to prevent relocking. Then I installed February update.
Immediately after that I got March update notification but there was also a notice about HTC Update, so I got BOTH NODO and latest HTC update AT ONCE. This update takes VERY LONG (40 minutes maybe), and I do not count download time there.
Result is same:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.12000.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)

It looks like I got the firmware-update too, when I got my march update from ms...
But I dont see a difference :S

My phone is Vodafone DE (unbranded with ansar's ROM).
I downloaded this image, converted that image to JPG (for some reason I can not add PNG to my phone via Zune ?!).
I also downloaded image from here, and cut off the left part, and left only original image.
I can see that my phone is 16bit now (why I have a feeling that I will restore old ROM to see was it 24bit earlier? ), but on my phone picture of that girl looks MUCH BETTER than on part I cut off.
Strange!

Just thought I'd say... Just updated my Trophy to Firmware: 2550.09.12000.707

Unbranded 16GB Omnia 7 and no Mango till now

I have samsung omnia 7 16GB unbranded i bought it from expansys
and till now i didn't get Mango update
any one could help
Regards

Lies and a different battery cover?
I dunno the whole system seems buggered - I have an 8GB "3" branded Omnia 7, and I received the updates the day it came out

Its getting rolled slowly, it can take up to 24 days to reach everyone. Google force update trick to get it to install faster
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Try the Unofficial Way
You probably won't get the update until a few weeks because it's still in the distribution phase which could, or could not, take forever.
There is a trick that everyone's been doing though:
1. Connect your phone to your PC and launch Zune.
2. Go to your phone's settings from there, and click the 'Update' tab.
3. Then click on any other tab, and once again click on the Update tab.
4. This is the tricky part...right after you click the 'Update' tab for the second time, wait exactly from 2 to 3 seconds and then disconnect your PC from internet. You must do that before you get the 'No Updates Found' screen.
If you suceed, you should wait for about 20 seconds and then you will find an available update.
5. Reconnect to the internet, start your update, and voila.

thx for help
i try this unofficial way and it work with me and install the first update 7.0.4
but while installing 7.10 it give me error and the phone restart and stuck with samsung omnia 7 logo
i made hard reset for the phone it restore again to old software
but form this time every time i restart the phone it stuck with omnia 7 logo and i have to remove the battery and insert it again to load the os
any idea about this

I have 16GB unlocked and unbranded version as well and i have no mango yet either. I read elsewhere here that if you do the "trick" download using Zune you don't get the proper update for the Omnai because there is a Samsung firmware update as well that is missing. I will wait for a few weeks max to see if I can get via Zune. Will let you know when I get it.

@egyfox85:
Try to flash your device with a RTM ROM (or Nodo rom, but you cant use then the Chevron Jailbreak), because your Omnia 7 firmware is damaged.
Then try update to Mango..
Greetings.

I'm in a similar position as you where I have a 16gb Omnia 7. I actually forced my device but restored it back to NoDo soon after realising my firmware version was incorrect. I just hope me forcing it doesn't hinder my chance of getting Mango - does anyone know whether this could be an issue or not?

I have an unbranded omnia 7 16gb from tmobile germany (no carrier branding shown when turned on the phone). I forced update to mango but received an error 80180048 and now I want to reflash it back to its original rom to re-do updates to nodo and just wait for offical release. Does anyone know what the original rom is?

I was in the same situation. I made dozens of attempts to update, but only succeeded by reverting to a pre nodo rom, and allowing updates as far as Zune would go. After this, the phone updated all the way through to Mango using the network pull trick without issue. So if you are willing to wipe the phone completely, this might be the way.
I started at Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJL3 Retail UK.

I've been using Mango since the day it first rolled out on my 16GB Omnia 7 from expansys UK.
Used the forced update, got the lastet OEM updated firmware with it too

now my phone stuck at start up Omnia 7 logo and i reflash it with firmware I8700XXKC1 after i finish it updated to 7.392 but also no mango
this should be UK rom
any idea about this too

Nice one mate and congratulations (I'm jealous lol) - I'm checking mine everyday but have had no luck so far, guess I'll just have to be patient. Just for info, is your phone a German model, (mine is but its still unlocked/unbranded). I ordered mine from eBay assuming it was a UK model but it wasn't - it updated to NoDo fine a while back...

yip, mine is a German model with 16GB (that's why I bought from there). But hey, horror stories.... I couldn't update NOW so I deleted it thinking that the old version was stopping the new version from downloading. Then I couldnt get it at all so I tried to go back to NODO and couldnt restore. Phone hung on the update connection . Reinstalled KC1 using WP7 installer and got back to NODO and did a force install (trick) to get back to Mango. And still I cannot update NOW; must be a Sammy problem. You should try the "force Zune trick" to get the Mango update pal..

Running 16 GB unbranded Omnia 7 purchased from ebay.de on Swisscom in CH and tried Zune update for 1/2 hour ago .... & got the regular update to Mango (not forced). Will post later if everything went well.... Regz from CH

Aaah,nah I already forced it and wasn't happy as the firmware was completely wrong, the reason I reverted back to NoDo was because of that issue. On a positive note, I sent a tweet to windowsphonehelp (or whatever they're called) and they responded back saying if you've forced it and go back to NoDo it shouldn't cause an issue - so, when Mango does officially come out for these handsets, I should get it with no issues. Here's hoping that happens sometime soon as I'm getting quite fed up - all my mates and even my brother are fully mango'd

I've been having loads of issues with it. I had no problems whatsoever on NoDo.
Slooooow boot ups. (sometimes fast sometimes takes a couple of mins)
Sometimes if i switch it off and on it locks up and just displays the battery indicator. No home screen. (need to pull the battery)
Problems with the data connection dying requiring a soft reset of the phone to re-enable. (this is a MAJOR issue)
Started having bluetooth issues - it wont discover anything sometimes. (seems to work if i switch on WiFi as well. wtf?)
Info slow to appear on lock screen.
Keyboard closes itself randomly (known issue i see)
Really un-impressed with Mango. I've just hard reset my device so will see if that helps at all.

For your info after the Zune tric install here are my stats!!

So my specs are close to most others on here so I dont think I will force back to NODO to wait for official Mango. My phone is working 100% on every level right now so i will leave well enough alone for now!!
Let me know when you get the official release and your stats when installed.

[Q] How do i fix Music Freezing

I was part of the mango pre-release test thing-a-ma-hooty (woot first time i have ever typed something like that) anyway the music will freeze at the end of a song, and if i try to pause / goto the next song the entire phone will lock up.

You are missing the HTC update. If your zune software tells you that you are up to date than unfortunately you must do a reset on your phone and then it will catch and upgrade.
If anyone knows how to get that HTC update without having to reset the phone, please post how.

i had this happen a few times after mango, with podcasts though, i just removed them and re synched them and it stopped.

The Bootloader is slightly different, 1.3.2259.7(111288)
vs. 1.3.2250.7(111288) Original OS release, but your Firmware is the original version released with the phone. So you are missing both the NoDo and Mango Firmware upgrades.
Based on your profile, you are on AT&T and located in the US, but I have to ask, is the phone carrier unlocked. Or did you do that unbranding trick back with NoDo and lose visibility as an AT&T device. Strange that you are missing all firmware updates pushed out by AT&T.
I would definitely suggest a hard reset and hopefully your phone will get updated through Zune. HTC made a bunch of subtle, but important improvements to the phone, involving alarms, music doing quirky things when you plug anything in to the headphone jack, etc. You want the firmware updates for sure.

Sorry for the late response but i did carrier unlock because of at&t's slow update process. also hard resetting did cause the phone to see the update and it did help the music problem for about a day. Anyway is there any 7008 roms available for the surround that is still at&t branded (also tested to make sure their working as I don't know how brickable this phone is)? Also if I was able to go back to 7008 should I do the chevron unlock or should I try to get my dev unlock even though I forgot to fill out geotrusts forms, do you think they would still have mine open after 7+ months?

Anyone know what this update did? I can't find any changes, except that it changed theme to Lime... And as always Samsung did not provide any change log.

May I ask where you have it from? I'm having massive connection issues since I updated to FW 2424.11.9.2 (the last one delivered by MS).

I received the update the regular way. Notified on the phone that an update was available, then updated with Zune.

Where are you located? Thanks.

Same here. Wi-fi appears as connected to my network but can't receive/send data. Turning wi-fi off and on again appears to solve it temporarily.
I'm waiting for new firmware update...

I'm in Sweden. 3 branded phone, SIM unlocked and on Telenor network.
I was updated from FW 2424.11.9.2, where I experienced some connection troubles. I used to solve them with reboot... Have not seen anything about that today, but it's just been one day yet so...

I've been having connection issues since updating to Mango/0222.11.8.5 almost 2 months ago and am yet to receive an update so I wouldn't hold my breath :/

if your surfing on Wifi and pages don't load/take ages to load etc, turn off Mobile network data. When you re-enable it, you will have to restart the phone, otherwise you will have the internet issues on mobile network lol

I'm also interested.
Yesterday I've changed mine from 000-88 (no carrier) to SFR-FR and was able to update to 2424.11.9.3, but it didn't change anything.
I'm just about to revert back to my latest backup (11.9.2).

Hi,
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator="SE3-SE"

I'm sad to say that I just had the same connection trouble on WiFi. Toggle WiFi solved, just as earlier.
So, it seems that this FW does not solve the connection issue. Wish Samsung provided a changelog, so we knew what to expect.
Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express

bummer!
I tried to update with "SE3-SE" as carrier. Zune tells me there is an update, it downloads, the phone restarts, it tries to install but reboots after a few seconds with an "error code 8018001e". After some research here on xda it seems that my phone not having swedish installed might be the problem. Also tried adding swedish to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available] but it didn't do the trick.
Since you seem to still have connection problems with .11.10.1, I think I won't further bother..

I wouldn't bet money on that Actually, all steps are in several places across the forum, for example in my guide here (after Interop unlock).
But it's good that people show interest, so your guide is welcome.

@SuperSport
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. That was exactly my intent!
@EnderPsp
My aim was to create a very simple step-by-step guide for those who have a Samsung Focus updated officially (using Zune) to 8107 and are looking to enable the internet sharing option.
I actually came across your guide while searching for what I was trying to do and with all due respect, it wasn't exactly the noob friendly guide that I personally found it out to be, as it entailed a lot more steps than what's truely required to achieve what my goal was with all other options available now (ex. The WindowBreak Project).

Chill out mate, I appreciate your post. When I build the newbie guide, there was no WindowBreak project so that was the only way to have Mango unlocked. In the meantime, things changed and WindowBreak makes it simpler. And I did specify so in the opening (post #36)
I will also add a reference to your guide here, so it's easier for noobs to follow.

@EnderPsp
No worries!
I figured when you wrote yours, things weren't as simpler as they are now so yours definitely has more research put behind it -- and I appreciate you adding a reference to mine! =)

Thank you very much !

Thanks for sharing this guide. I bought my first Windows phone, the Focus, yesterday and this is a fast track way for me to be able to do all the wonderful things Microsoft or AT&T doesn't want me to do. (Same thing I did on my Android and Apple devices)

I have the same config as the previous poster and followed the steps and it worked. When I try to update in Zune it says I'm already up to date, but went ahead with the rest of the steps anyway.
A couple of notes
1) Had to reboot after installing Zune, otherwise would not detect phone.
2) The WinSDK installer requires Net 4.0 framework. It would error out on me till I installed that.
3) Had to install each XAP one at a time; the instructions seem to indicate you can select and install both.
4) Phone reboots at end.
I assume this will NOT survive a hard reset (vol down+camera+power)?

No, it won't. You will have latest OS version but the developer unlock will be lost. If you don't have the KK2 Samsung update, then you can safely re-use this guide to unlock again

It looks like you're running a previous (7720) version to what the latest released is (8107). You can still follow this guide to get the internet sharing option enabled though.
@pitflyer
Thanks for the notes! I've updated the original guide to reflect that.

Excellent guide. Thanks.

Do these instructions apply to the original Focus ?

I bought my Focus the day it was first released in 2010.
I heard from AT&T technical support that the original Samsung Focus does NOT support internet sharing because of the HW.
Since you folks on this forum are much more knowledgable about such matters though I would ask.

I currently have it working on my Focus v 1.3. AT&T tech support does not know or talk about anything not on their cheat sheets.

Hello
Can any1 tell the harmful effect of radiation coming out from windows phone samsung focus after enabling the INTERNET SHARING OPTION? If there is no harmful effect then why these OEM does not provide all the option with phone..?

Now that is an interesting theory... hehehe
Actually, they didn't enable it because they want to be sure they are able to charge for the service before it's enabled.
