Hey Guys,
I have recently purchased a T-mob UK Omnia 7 and am willing to flash it with a non-branded rom. I am confident enough in how to do it. Are the roms available from samifirmware unbranded?
The thing I wanted to ask was, after flashing the rom, am I going to receive notifications for updates? Is the phone going to update? The reason I am asking is that I noticed some people are facing problems when updating the post-nodo update.
thanks
Hey,
I just did the same that you want to do. Flashed the Omnia 7 with the
Firmware Version I8700XXJK1 and "de-branded" my phone with that.
After flashing I got a message that the pre-nodo update is available.
After updating the Omnia 7 to 7008 I thought I will get the NoDo Update but nothing came yet....
Hope that this won't take too long

Hopefully. I just hope that we will be able to get the following updates as well as nodo. Any thoughts anyone?
I am coming from Android and still getting used to the differences.
No wonder those ROMS are branded, but are they truly?
Roms posted on samfirmware, are all branded but some does not have a splash screen for operator logo, there seem to be some 000-88 carrier code to deal with. I had my Omnia 7 on Orange, I flashed it with DBTJK1 from samfirmware, it picked up the pre-nodo update right away. NoDo, however was not available as of yesterday.
Having checked on Microsoft's website, I learnt that Orange was delivering all available updates. So, I tweaked back my registry to ORG-GB (Originally noted from my official ROM before replacing it), the restarted my phone and NoDo was available.
So just hack your registry for the carrier or any unbranded code and you shall get the update right away.

Please stop, you've said the same thing three times now.
I have tried flashing the DBTJK1 firmware today and I got the feburary update but not nodo. I even tried setting the carrier to ORG-GB and rebooting the phone with no luck. If anyone can give any advice, I'd greatly appreciate it.
I flahed my Omnia 7 with the "I8700 XEN I8700XENJK1" ROM, andthe day after I got the NoDo through Zune.
So no "blocking" of updates here in Denmark on "3"
UPDATE: Sorry, I've misread your ROM-version
So, what is the real difference between these firmware versions:
I8700XXJK1 - DBT
I8700XXJK1 - XEN
I8700XXJK1 - BSE
Coming from Germany I just flashed the DBT and got the pre-NoDo but
NO NODO

Would you be so kind and let us know which unbranded code to use or how to get that?
Changing carrier code does *not* force the update down, been there and done that.
However if your gullible to try, unbranded code is 000-88

Thanks for that mate, and how can I fix this in the registry? I guess I have to unlock the device again.....but don't want to do this anymore.
I just want to receive the NoDo Update with my - now unbranded - WP7 !!!
Yep, you need to unlock the device and modify the registry settings, however if you've flashed with any of the unbranded ROMs on samfirmware, it'll already be sitting on 000-88.

Thanks, didnt know that the roms available at samfirmware are set to that code. Good news for me.
Many thanks for these informations. I flashed my Omnia 7 with the I8700XXJK1 - DBT ROM and can confirm that the registry setting is set to 000-88.
But the Problem is that I still receive no NoDo and I am getting nervous.....
Updated it before with Chevron, then flashed it down to the Original Samsung I8700XXJK1 - DBT...7004
Now I am on 7008 hanging......
Anything went wrong?
The NoDo update seems to be selective, the way it selects is unknown, if you don't get it immediately, don't worry about it, it'll eventually come your way. Theres no method I've found in forcing the update down (even the zune timing trick seems a bit of a hoax to me).
I've contacted my Samsung Support Centre and I'm querying what unbranded UK firmware they have and whether its preloaded with NoDo. They will probably get back to me within the week.
read what I said, the 3 times are for your benefit, update via the way I said no Zune, cheers

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?
Just upgraded from mango rc and there is no skype, can't find how to make mp3 work as a ringtone, also cannot find function which lets me translate text using the camera.
What carrier are you on, and has your phone been debranded?
I still haven't recieved my mango update... I have a Telus phone that has been registry debranded. I'm running it on AT&T's network.
Try re-branding it.

Skype hasn't been released yet AFAIK. There are guides on how to make MP3s that can be used on Mango as ringtones, for example: http://wintellect.com/CS/blogs/jgar...-custom-ringtones-in-windows-phone-mango.aspx
Text translation is done from Bing (the search button) and then you select "vision".

That's my next step, but I wanted to see if anyone with a registry de-branded phone had received an update already. So has everyone here gotten their update but me?
EDIT: I forced the update via Ziko's post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279960 and the update is currently installing.
I flashed a different ROM, so my phone went back to 7389. It updated to 7392 and got stuck there. So I updated it to the Mango beta via the proper beta provisioning app, and from there it went to 7720 + LG drivers.
I am on Vodafone Spain with an AppHub developer account running build 7712 on my LG Optimus 7 and I have received the ISV 7720 update without forcing it. But it won't go beyond step 6 of the update process (restarting your phone) saying there are some missing drivers or something.
Missing drivers? Odd. Have you tried a different computer?
I'm on ATT as well.... didn't get the option to upgrade, but this worked

It did take a couple of trys, there is a "sweet" spot to disconneccting the comptuer from the internet, and it says to wait 30 seconds, but it took more like 2 minutes. It did come up eventually thought, and I am running 7.5

Repetively checked via zune since we first heard about the 8107 and still says its current with 7740 Factory unlocked AWS 16GB DVP in Canada.
Hoping that this update would bring meaningful features but alas, it'll probably be a letdown. Really want to like the DVP.
Also, no 8107 update yet on a TMO HD7 either.
No update on Europe Stock Unlocked DVP 8 Gb too...
The update will eventually come. Just be patient.
No problem for waiting. This minor update doesn't contain importang things, just little bug fixes, that I don't see at all...
Anyone have faith in their carrier requesting the update?
http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-cl...est-it/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
not that the disappearing keyboard is a serious issue?
Is there anyone willing / able to put together a .cab sender package to force us from 7720 to 7740 and then from 7740 to 8107? I don't have the confidence in myself when digging through the different updates and language packs. This would be a donation-worthy effort. Hopefully someone can bundle it together. If not, lets see how TMOUS plays this one.
I'm always hoping in tethering...
I update my DVP with Cabsender and official cabs to this update. Everything is ok, but this update don't good for my DVP.
I don't see any improvements, everything is work good without it. Only visible change is switching between 3G and Edge.
I use it 2 days and has 2 bugs with phone part. One time programs don't see mobile Internet, while "E" is showing and when i need to reboot.
Another time I can't recieve and dial calls and sms, but cellular signal strength showing full. Also need to reboot. Looks like a new RIL driver incompatible with old Dell radio firmware.
Of course I did backup of my last 7740 fw, and returned to it.
P.S.: Before this update I use my DVP more then one month wirh 7740 and don't see any problems with phone/RIL part and i think this is not mobile operator or SIM issues
7.10.8107 Update for DVP?
Has anyone got the 7.10.8107 Update for DVP without any hacks? Or is there any force update method like previous methods without the cabsender etc?
Still not even received the 7740. I know that operators can skip only 1 update as per MS and hence if they skipped 7740 which they did, they need to compulsorily provide the 8107 update. I have read there are a lot of fixes and hope they provide updates at the earliest.

Just wanted to let everyone know that the disable network while checking for updates hack in Zune just worked for me with the 8107 update. Unlocked DVP in Canada if that matters.
Updating right now.. will confirm if tethering is included but really now, not holding my breath.
EDIT: update nothing worth mentioning =( no tethering... only thing I can notice is the drop down selector for 3G and E.
Well, I guess AT&T users won't be getting this anytime soon. Not that it matters I guess, as long as the phone works.
tried the force update using disable network and does not work at my end. Still at 7720. Your phone is up to date.
Tried multiple times and after around 30 seconds get error 80072EFF any suggestions? I also tried Windows Phone Support Tool and says your phone cannot be restored.

Uhh, just a quick question - so all of you have unlocked DVPs and was able to successfully update your firmware using the Zune software?

Hello everyone.
I need your input on a very peculiar problem that I am having with my LG Quantum. I had upgraded my phone Mango (7.5) when the update was made available on Zune. However, some time after upgrading i encountered frequent random restarts. The phone would go back to the LG screen and restart. This happens only with apps downloaded from the marketplace and it usually happens either when i have started a new app and it is loading information or when pressing the back button when an app is loading or accessing information from the internet. While i was typing this i gave it another go by starting up the "Reinstaller" app and it boot back to the LG screen once again.
I have given this multiple tries by downgrading to Windows Phone 7 (Nodo) - no restarts and the updating to Mango again - it restarts. So i think the issue is with Mango update. Any ideas what could be the problem?
Thanks!

A few questions:
- did it work out for you and you are not having random restarts any longer?
- did you flash to mango ROM or non mango ROM? And then upgarded to mango?
- i remember downloading a dll file for flashing the ROM, does the dll file change with the type of ROM or is it device specific.
Thank you so much for your input!
- did it work out for you and you are not having random restarts any longer?
-----until now, no random restarts
- did you flash to mango ROM or non mango ROM? And then upgarded to mango?
-----direct mango ROM
- i remember downloading a dll file for flashing the ROM, does the dll file change with the type of ROM or is it device specific.
-----use a general dll which compatiable with c900 c900b c900k

Thank you very much for your replies mate. Can you please share the link of the Mango ROM as uptill now I am unable to find any link to Mango ROMs for LG Quantum. The latest one i have seen is uptill July 2011 only, which i presume does not contain Mango.
I downloaded the Telstra ROM and tried to load it on my LG Quantum but the software wouldn't let me. I read somewhere on the internet that you can't do that because the Telstra ROM is for C900K and not compatible with C900.
How did you get the Mango update?
I dont get any Mango updates for my phone, am at 7.0.7392 ATT&T, is there a work around for this?

Don't you get an update notification when you connect your phone to Zune client on your PC? Mango update for LG Quantum has been out for quite a lot of time (around six months). I am surprised you are not getting a notification. Can you share which carrier you are currently on? And is it an unlocked AT&T phone?

Thanks guys! The funny thing is that i woke up today and just started searching on the inernet for ways to debrand my LG Quantum and surprisingly i found the forum post dade is talking about. Flashed the Telstra ROM to my phone and now updating it.
Then i checked my mail and found that you guys had replied to my post. I came here and saw dade pointing to the exact same post. Funny coincidence.
So it turns out that you need to have a different dll when flashing from carrier to another. And that dll is given the link given by dade above:
