Hey,
I have an Omnia 7 (16GB) from Deutsche Telekom, which isn't pushing the update yet (according to the Update Schedule). I've tried the internet pull-trick multiple times, but without success. Exactly what i expected.
I used to be in the Mango Beta (thanks to mangoforall 0.2), and was able to update to the final build (including the cleanup update). Only problem was that i didn't get any new firmwares, so I couldn't use the compass etc.
My idea was to roll back to my NoDo backup, and update back to Mango through the official update procedure. Problem is, my device isn't receiving the update yet. And yes, I still don't know what I was thinking at that moment.
Does anyone know what my best option is to get back to mango?
-I could use the tool again (will that still work? what would i get?)
-I could wait, but that's not a realistic option, already getting sick of NoDo again
-Do i have a third option?
Thanks in advance!
Your solution
Hi after i was suck off didn´t get any update to my omnia ,one like yours, i took a bit time and searched on google where i found the notification that i´ll have to wait until november ,just to long to survive without mango so for your driverupdate i can say the following :http://www.onlinewelten.com/link.ph...ekom-gebrandetes-omnia-7-ohne-kabeltrick.html
What is the pull trick ?
I did this way: press the "look for updates" button in zune with phone connected.
While it's searching for updates, disconnect the pc internet from internet after 3 to 6 secs, BEFORE it says "your phone is already updated"
It will tell you "you have an upgrade" !
Reconnect (press the wifi button or re-plug the cable) and go on
Is this the pull trick ?
I'd call it the most-strange-trick

in your zune sync options, click on "update" and disconnect your internet after a second (pull your cat5 off your pc or laptop. If your on wireless turn the wireless off. whatever it takes to get your internet off in like a second or two). Wait until it finishes searching (like 20 seconds) and it should pop up if done correctly.
goodluck

I've been trying to do it for four days now. The only message i get after 20 sec is a connection error.
Have you tried flashing a new ROM?
When you've tried everything, I think this is your last resort because it will take some reasonable effort especially if you've never flashed a ROM before.
I have the same phone, the T-Mobile branded Omnia from Germany. I debranded my phone by flashing the XXJL3 RETAIL UNITED KINGDOM ROM since its default is English which I found very convenient.

Now comes the tricky part. Here are the full steps: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-flash-a-rom-in-samsung-omnia-7-guide/
After you've done that, do the pull trick everyone's talking about: disconnect your PC from internet 2-3 seconds after reclicking the 'Update' tab.
I've updated to Mango and trust me it's worth it. And having a debranded phone is liberating.
I hope everything works well for you. Let me know if you have any further questions.

My phone also was from t-mo.de. Currently running mango - awasome.

My phone currently updating to version 7008 - needs update to Zune too which is downloading first.
Was on 7004.
Will let you know what happens!
I can't see any changes...
Also no saving of the changes you make in Camera or so on...
Is this the update before March Update!?
Yeah, this is just an update to pave the way for future updates. You'll find nothing new here.

Is the Camera any better...? could be into the realms of imagination here but took a photo and it seemed clearer than previous efforts on standard settings. Phone also 'seems' a little zippier.
Not totally sure so guess things aren't that different.
Backup worked nicely though.
Mine is in the process of updating. The backup process takes a while.
I wonder if we can use someone elses backup to restore a phone? I only ask because I flashed my UK T-Mobile device with the unbranded Samsung one because it was said that it fixed Bluetooth problems. However, it has had no effect, and now I can't take my phone back to T-Mo because it's not running the original firmware. If I can get it back to UK spec, then I can take it back to a shop and swap it for a (hopefully) working one...
Done. It is only a preparatory update for the actual update containing copy and paste, improvements to Windows Phone Marketplace et.al. Ergo, it doesn't contain any new functionality and won't remove or hinder any installed jailbreak functionality.
Yup, more playing, definitely no changes I can find...camera taking a better photo just happened to be a picture in better light.
This update has bricked my Omnia 7.
When I connected my Omnia 7 to Zune today, I was notified of an update. Zune updated itself and quit. I restarted Zune and it informed me there was an update for my phone. I clicked update now and it got to step 6/10 rebooting phone. The phone evenually rebooted and Zune reported the following:
RESTORATION ERROR
An error prevented the restoration of your phone to its previous version. Your phone cant be used in its present condition and there are no restore points for it on this computer. Thephone might restart and return to normal if you disconnect it. For further assistance, contact your mobile operator.

Thanks Microsoft, that's a really helpful message. NOT.
I have manually updated to the latest Zune, rebooted my PC, rebooted my phone, and I get the same thing every time.

Sorry about that. I was afraid of this happening to me, after the update stalled for an hour at the 7th step, so I disconnected. Luckily nothing happened to my device. But apparently several Omnia 7 are experiencing this.
Sort it out, MS.
First things first. I was updated Zune to the recent version, because I was curious it will resolve a problem with login user on one of my computers. One (Windows Vista) works fine, but another one, Windows 7 (both 32-bits versions) works fine with Zune + Market.

I've done the same. I have (branded) T-Mobile UK phone and decided update to unbranded one. I choose version I8700XENJK1 (but I tried another one before) - for me, one difference is language Dutch / Belgium if I remember correctly.
I've read this thread and I was wondering if my phone will find update... I had no information about this.
I return home, connect Omnia to computer and update process start immediately. I had no problem with update at all. Phone during update reboots twice (or more) and it looks stable. I haven't noticed any changes or improvements... maybe it's working a little bit faster, but maybe it's a auto-suggestion.

Have you got samsung tools installed?
I have tried twice to install the update. Both times I got stuck at 7 or of 100 with 100%.
The only thing I have done my phone is to unlock it with chevron.
Altough I did have it in flight mode at the time to prevent relocking.
Do you think that would have affected anything?
Still nothing showing up for me yet. Those who got the mini update does your 3 button combo into download mode now work if you had a phone that didnt let it happen before?

Three button combo now gives me the rather scary option to Format or Cancel. I thought Cancel would be the way to go....
Successful Updaters: Please post your Firmware revisions
For those who have managed to get the update installed without error, can you please post here your firmware revisions. We may be able to work out which models are affected by the issue.
There are rumours that this update only affects firmware versions JI9 and JJ4 while the JK1 firmware is unaffected.

Interesting. I'll research this.
Thanks.
I did the registry change last night and got 7008.
Same thing today... still 7008.
I was ATT-US before.
The registry key value doesn't change post-7008 update FYI.
7008 does fix the Markeplace hanging bug that makes you reboot. So there's some value in doing the update.
So, I guess we wait for NoDo. Since the table of carriers released by Microsoft says that AT&T is "Testing" for both updates for all their devices, perhaps - and this is a theory - perhaps it means that Microsoft is rolling the update to IMEI number groupings or something.
If anything changes, post about it!
Got it working, thanks!
no need to wait
follow the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012189 thread to get the NoDo update, it works great, but when u change over and debrand, change it from space to 000-88, then follow the instructions in the thread i posted. works like a charm. my magic number was 45 seconds and an onscreen timer is a big help.
I'm on LG Quantum - ATT, US, and now running 7.0.7390.0

thank you very much,
finally I can taste the joy of NoDo on my Quantum
Has anyone updated their Quantum to NoDo, and then rolled back using the ROM in the development forum? I'm waiting to update until ATT pushes just in case there is ATT/LG fixes included, but if I can rollback to a clean ATT ROM of 7004, I'll try the Nodo update now.
Thanks, Carini
I can't seem to get it to work for my Quantum. Edited the registry to 000-88, disconnected data, checked for update/turned comp internet off... nothin'. Zune either hangs if I disconnect too early, or it says my phone is already updated. I barely have enough time to disconnect my comp's WLAN before it finishes checking
So I never saw a response to my post about rolling back to 7004, but I decided to update to Nodo anyways
All I did was change my phone to 000-80 to get the update(I think). I first tried it at work, turned off the data/wifi on the phone, looked for update in Zune, disabled my NIC after 3 seconds. It gave an error about not contacting the server. I then tried to look for an update again this time not disabling my NIC, and it gave the same error. Tired it a couple more times just in case.
I assumed the update server was blocked by the proxy at work. When I got home, I plugged my phone in Zune, it immediately came back and said 7008 was available, and then after that installed Nodo was available.
I'm not sure if what I did at work caused me to get the update a few hours later, but when I was at home, I didn't have to do any tricks at all. Still wondering about using the ROM to rollback to 7004, if anyone tries it, let me know how it goes.
Got NoDo today with 'unbranded' Quantum
Hi... just wanted to let people know that I received the NoDo update today via Zune, using the 'unbrand' registry hack described here.
Took about 15 mins, went very smoothly.
After updating my Omnia 7 to Nodo I got another update notification about a "Samsung Update".
When I try to install it it hangs at step 6 of 10: rebooting your phone (the phone shows the omnia logo but doesn't boot).
Was anybody able to install this update? What does it do?
You say you updated to NoDo...how? Did you receive a notification or use one of the tricks to get the update? Not had anything myself. Also how long after the NoDo update did you get the other update, was it via Zune or a phone notification.
Sounds interesting given the odd display I've now got, wondering if we have some updated drivers on the way.

I forced the update (via Hungary) but got the new notification as soon as I connected the phone to Zune (it also shows up on the phone).
There is a 'more information' link on the first page but sadly it does not give more information.
Getting the same update after NoDo. Doesn't update though, stuck at rebooting just like you. Weird..
Didn't get my update via Hungary BTW, just the regular way (A1 branded).
Hmmm this is worrying. I assume there were no problems after this update failed?

No, I don't think anything happened yet. The PC is waiting for the phone to reboot, and the phone is stuck on boot..
How long did you leave it?
Not sure, 30-45 mins maybe the first time. The second time I tried just a couple of minutes. It said the update would take 32 mins, but since it just said rebooting and not updating I reckoned the process hadn't even started yet.

You just unplugged it then and it carried on workig OK?
That sounds about right, when i did pre-nodo the reboot took about a minute or so of displaying the Omnia logo then went to the pc plug screen whilst it updated.
I did read about device specific updates, seems odd though as some people are saying that they updated to NoDo and it works fine and had no future updates.

Unplugged it and had to take the battery out to reboot. Notice how it says 'Samsung update for Windows Phone' though. I'll try one more time. My phone bugged me a couple of times about the update as well ('An Update is available').
I wonder if this is a firmware update?
Edit - Looks like it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12516155&postcount=56
Yeah, guessed so. Still not working for me though. Waited for about an hour for it to reboot.
My mistake - Edited
Can i know which firmware version do you have on your Omnia 7? I got a JK1 and i haven't recieved this kind of update
PS
To view firmware version go in phone then open the numeric pad and call ##634# to enter diagnosis then type these combination: *#1234#
For me:
PDA: ends with JID
Phone: ends with JIC
CSC: ends with JID
Curious to see what Cheekbone has as its trying to update it
All end with JJ6
Well I guess the majority is already on JK1, so the samsung update only pops up for some.
It would be great if there would be further samsung firmware updates before major MSFT ones.
It does seem that JK1 is the norm. I guess it means I will be offered the further update...
Worrying!
Hey mine says

Have you updated to Pre-NoDo (.7008) or NoDo (.7390) ?
I have a HD2 running wp7 7392. Really want to get mango. Have tried to force (phone airplan mode, laptop wifi off, plug and unplug ethernet cable). I have tried for 3 days and I have done this maybe 200 times. If I pull too quickly,
within a second, I get connection error. If too slow, 2 or 3 sec, I get "your phone is up to date" And I have tried every ms in between but never was able to get the upgrade! Does anyone else have this problem? Do I have to push deviceprovisioning.cab? I did not have to push this cab and was able to get 7008, then 7392 all through zune. But this time I just cant force. Also looking at the microsoft site, t-mobile phone are already in delivery phase! Drive me nuts! Any advise?
Let's see if I got it right you're on NODO with back to the future v2 and waiting for the official mango update?
Then the solution is quite simple: READ the rom thread! It's in the second or third post...
Anyway, here's the solution:
If you can wait for the official update (it's not out yet!), wait
If not (very likely!!), you've got to send deviceprovisioning.cab to get developer updates and then: just continue updating with zune and it should work just fine...
(or you can use the update cabs provide by xbmod...)
But however you're going to do this, read the rom thread. It's better for you, for your phone (much safer!!!)
upate: I can't wait any longer, so I pushed the deviceprovisioning.cab onto the phone. Right away, zune tells me that there is an update available (7403).
I am in the middle of the 7403. Looks hopeful. Just want to update so other who are stuck at the same place could benefit.
HD2 stuck at 7403, fix!
Hi All! Since august 15th 2012 my HD2 has been stuck at WP7 7403. Tried the force Mango trick very often, but didn't succeed. Very frustrating.
I found my solution in this topic, thank you chabun!
With WP7 Cab Sender I send Deviceprovisioning.cab wich I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20696473&postcount=4498
After sending Deviceprovisioning.cab Zune showed an update (7720) wich I am installing right now. XDA did it again for me, tnx folks!
I just updated my LG optimus 7 to 7.8 a few sec ago. here are the pictures to prove it and of course the link on how to do it (i cant post the link so just copy it in to your browser). So, after all, seems like all WP7 devices are getting this update!

Can't get my phone to update
Hi,
Thanks for the tips, however I can't get my LG Optimus E900 to update.
I have tried the force update method and also the manual cab method but the manual cab method backs up the phone and installs the cabs, then fails with an error saying no applicable package...
Any further ideas on how I can update my device? It's a European LG Optimus E900 model if that makes any difference.
Thanks

Hi, thanks however I have tried the force update method several times as well as ensuring all the cabs are in as per the manual update instructions including ensuring the right language packs are there but still get exactly the same error as before.. no applicable packages... guess I'll have to give up for the time being and try again in a couple of weeks or so...
E900H: Update went smoothly, even if I had to use the disconnect trick (force update). I had an Internet sharing option form another ROM, and it was not removed for the simple reason that when you use an other carrier ROM, it's this one that's get updated, leaving all the functions and features like they were before.
Unlock is removed by the way but seems that you can get it back with MFG.
I hope also that SIP (VOIP) is now available with 7.8 because it's what I am really missing from IOS or Android!
What has 80072FA8 error or just no update found!
On this time I tried a long time update with disconnect trick. But... no updates.
NOW... from FIRST time update was found!
Solution:
yeah... first of all good things happen to UK. So we will use UK proxy.
Go to Settings - mobile network , then edit apn. In "APN, Username, Password" I typed my provider settings. In "Proxy server/URL" type 109.169.40.229 and in "Proxy port" type 8080. Here Done.
Next step: in computer STILL connected internet, in phone wifi is disconnected.
And last step: in Zune click update. Waiting about ~2 minutes, because proxy is very slow.
Result:
Thanks for UK proxy :laugh:
Got it! from Colombia with a euro open optimus7.
Tried starting from 2 second of wait between push "update" and disconnecting internet, incrementing by half seconds every step, I got it at the 6th attempt, with 4,5 seconds between click "update" and disconnect internet (I disconnected from internet pulling out the power plug of the ethernet hub connected to my computer)
Good luck to everybody, I go to enjoy my new WP7.8! ..and to update my sign

i was lurking online stores for a new wp8 device but suddenly something told me, y u no check xda?
so after many attempts, force update worked and currenlty being installed on my solid rock e900!
thanks 4 saving me 300€ xda & friends ! :good:
Just installing!
Just installing the update now.
I have a German LG E900, running on a UK Talkmobile (MVNO of Vodafone)! No wonder I had to force update!
I tried loads of things, and on the verge of giving up, when I used the UK Proxy tip, earlier in the thread. (Even though I am already in UK!)
I also noticed by doing that that I didn't even have an APN.... maybe that had something to do with it.
Anyway, the FIRST time I used the UK proxy, it found the update. However the update failed because I didn't switch the internet back on my laptop.
So...
1. Switch Wifi off on your phone, but leave data on (using UK Proxy as earlier in thread)
2, Internet ON your PC/Laptop, then open Zune and check for updates. If no update is found then carry on to step 3
3. Click update again, then after 3 seconds or so, disconnect internet from your PC
4. repeat steps 2-3 until it finds an update.
5. Once it finds an update, make sure you switch the internet back ON your laptop/PC, otherwise you'll have to repeat all over again!
Thanks to everyone for the tips. Good work. I assume my phone will be working ok, I will post an update if any problems.
Cheers
My LG E900 now are Windows Phone 7.8 (OS Version 7.10.8858.136).
Updated by tweaking server with disconnecting router cable 5sec after clicknig Update button .
Enjoy!
i keep getting an error saying it cant search for an update, i tried two different computers, no luck, i tried the force update by switching off wifi, still no luck. Can someone help? thanks
I also try to update my phone.
First I tried with the cable trick. This did not work. I always got the 801812DC error which is refering to not be able to create a backup.
I hard reset the phone as recmmended but no result.
I checked the back up directory bt nothibg was in.
I tried on a fresh PC.
I tried with the tool from windowsphonehacker, the so called seveneighter.
I tried different USB ports
I tried different USB cables.
All are giving me the same 801812dc error.
Is there any other possibility? I also contacted LG but as I bought the phone as a used one I have no official bill. Therefore I can not prove it is not already out of warranty.
Please anny suggestion would be helpfull.
I had the same error when I update to 7.5. At this time I downgraded via a cab file from teh forum and then everything as working normally via Zune.
It's just time temping and patience. Beleive me, but if you have no patience, try to use this tool: LINK at your own risk!

This process does work! just a few extra notes on my experience
I have sim free UK LG E900 with Giff Gaff sim
For a successful upgrade process I had to;
First delete the giff gaff APN info and create a new apn with just the IP address and port info on page 1
I then had to reboot phone with new apn info
The timing of disconnecting the internet from the windows PC is critical , I have a laptop, with a combination of Function Key and F11 I can disable wireless pretty much instantly , if you disconnect to soon you get the update service is not available error , if you disconnect to slowly you get the Phone is upto date no update required problem , it seems to be somewhere between 2- 3 seconds ( I used to old 1000, 2000, 3000 counting method :silly: and it is somewhere between 2000 and 3000)
In total I had to update 3 times (as per previous post ) in order to get 7.8
But now thanks to the above technique I have a LG E900 at Windows 7.8 :good:
