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.

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.

Hi,
I have a "Walshed" Focus to get to 7390. Since then, I have been unsuccessful in "UnWalshing". When trying to update to 7392, I get stuck in reboot at step 6.
So I decided to try the Mango upgrade from 7390 - to which I've read that some have been successful going from 7390 (not necessarily from a Walshed device) to Mango.
Well, my phone gets stuck at reboot and when I run the ISV_Provisioning_live.exe following the Mango upgrade steps, I get an timeout error.
So at this point, I'm stuck at 7390 and thinking that I need to reflash my phone to 7004 and build up from there. However, I can't seem to find instructions for flashing a Samsung device. In the WP7 development forum, I only see instructions for flashing HTC devices.
Can someone point me to:
1. Instructions for flashing Samsung, Focus if it's device specifc.
2. Where can I get a Samsung 7004 ROM?
Thanks.

Read my posts here (location of Roms and checklist) and here for the instructions on flashing.

Just wait for the real deal coming Wednesday if you are an AT&T customer.

Hi,
I'm not sure if you were replying to my post above but I have version 1.4 and "Walshed" (forced the NoDo update back in April). At any rate, my understanding is that an official AT&T Mango for v1.4 will not be available in October. I suppose I can wait for it but given that I had "Walshed" my phone and my attempt to unWalsh is not successfully, I fear that an office update will not work.
As an anecodatel point, I did receive an update to 7392. However, the many attempts I have tried, I got stuck at step 6 when the phone is supposed to reboot but never does. Others have had the same problem with v1.4 and with a Walshed phone. So, I don't have high hopes that an officie Mango would even work. But I hope I am wrong...

Just install Zune and disconnect your internet about a second after it checks for an update. Got mine to mango.

Any AT&T Mango news?

Any insiders know anything?

No comment from at&t and @lionelatdell doesn't want to give out a date.
So nothing, unfortunately.

I got mango on my att dell venue pro.. it is an unlocked one though.

Yeah krad we are talking SIM locked devices.

I'm not sure if this counts as Mango on AT&T, but for what it's worth...
http://www.shekhargovindarajan.com/...-non-developer-unlocked-dell-venue-pro-india/
If you go to that link and dissect it a bit, you can update your AT&T Venue Pro to Mango. My phone says it's on 7.5, and the OS version is 7.10.7720.68. I don't know if that is the real Mango or if it's just a Beta. Mine has been working great so far. It has all of the Mango features and stuff. I have an AT&T locked device. Hope this is relevant.
Also. I know that the link says it is to get on to the Mango Beta, but what I have now on my phone does not seem like a beta.

It is mango, but you are missing some of the mango specific firmware. Still should hold ya over till the real thing arrives.

Can't you do the unplug trick? It took me a while but I got it to work and my phone isn't even an official Venue Pro.

What he said

After dell screwed up the compass app...not that i use the compass - it just shows how dumb they are, i updated my att dvp to mango 7720 last night using the beta rtm method here at xda. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1215501 )
so now i have the .212 firmware and mango. Good enough for me.

I did the same. Just been unsure if I am still going to be able to get the .219 firmware update. Do you happen to know?
I was in the process of restoring when mango was being released just to make sure I got the best install possible but I accidently deleted my restore in the process. I have 7720 on my DVP though so I havent really cared and I havent had any issues with it so I doubt the firmware is really going to matter.
I'm not sure if the link is the same method I used it seems to have the steps I did.

people that had the rtm did not have to revert when official came out, so we should be fine. We get .212 & mango and dell gets time to get **** right. When the update is pushed we should have no probs.

Using the 7720 upgrade path
There's quite a few modifications and derivatives of the instructions in that thread. Did you follow the set on the top of the thread or did you need to make any of the adjustments to upgrade your Dell Venue Pro?
Thx

just needed steps 1-15, at that point i was on 7720. the downloads take forever but other than that it was painless

I can't get the update to work. Is it b/c I have a newer version of zune? I can't get past the part where you back up your phone. all i get is a flashing cursor.

Did you download the old version of zine from that thread? Uninstall your current zune, then install that one and begin.
When I did mine i did have a problem when trying to backup. When i clicked the updatewp.exe the box would just give me an error: updatewp.exe has stopped working.
to fix: “UpdateWP has stopped working”
This was despite following the instructions to the letter. Turns out they are both due to the UpdateWP setup not overwriting existing files if they are already there. If you get this problem then just go to your “Program files” > “Zune” folder and delete both the UpdateWP.exe and wm7update.dll files (mine were both dated April) and rerun the UpdateWP setup file.
Once i did that it was smooth sailing.

Great. I've unistalled my zune software and can't install this one. I kepp getting error that the it can't install becuase langauge packs aren't installing or something.
edit: finally got zune to reinstall. even though it was from the download it installed version 4.8.2345 instead. So when is the Titan coming to AT&T again?

I had no issues with the update...

I think the problem is with my registry and my Zune. The new version doesn't completely uninstall which causes problems with the older version installing. I've had zune since G1 brick and my settings have even traveled from XP to 7. My library huge and not even located on one drive. I don't want to use something like revo to completely uninstall and lose my settings and my syncs, which are for multiple devices.

Samsung Focus Update to 8107 available with WP7 Root Tools

Hi!
I posted this in here because i can't post in Development because i'm a noob (less than 10 posts).
The update 8107 is already available for Samsung Focus i917R (Rogers) so what i did are the next steps:
1.- Jailbroke my AT&T Handset.
2.- Installed WP7 Root Tools from this site.
3.- Changed the values ATT-US to ROG-CA using the WP7 Root Tools on the next path:
Local Machine\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator
After the update i restored to ATT-US just in case, my device is Unlocked to any GSM and is working great, even the ear speaker sounds better (IMO) still is Jailbroken and is on 8107.
Picture on the 4th post
Thanks!

Thanks !!
New update done !

Welcome

Here is the screenshot

Does the update delete all the apps/settings on the phone ? I mean do I need to take a back up and all ?
Btw, I've added your first thanks !

No information is lost, the jailbreak is still up and all my contacts and stuff remains intact, is working perfectly You're welcome

The first post/procedure works fine, all my personal data was fine on ATT Focus 1.3.

Works fine in my Focus (v1.3). All data remains. First update to 7740 and then jumps to 8107.

Updated successfully! Worked like a charm.
Thanks.

The trick no longer needed I guess. My Roger's Focus updated to 8107 via Zune today. I just plugged it in, and thats it.

Yes, the latest version was released for Rogers for another carriers the trick is needed.

After the update my samsung focus stop receiving sms. I can send sms but cant receive any. Please help and excuse my poor english.

Will this update disable internet sharing? As I update vis Zune and turned out to lose the internet sharing functionality, and I need to run a system restore in the end.
