Own experience: Get NoDo update on Omnia 7

After many efforts without seeing NoDo update on my Omnia 7, I have tried to get NoDo update on my Omnia 7. Just want to share if my solution is ok for you
My situation: My Omnia 7 is with T-Mobile brand on its back cover but no lock to that operator, I can use normally mobile service in Vietnam. My office network is using VPN with IP in Malaysia
ROM in my Omnia 7 was I8700XENJK1 (downloaded from SamFirmware), upgraded to 7008 and not found NoDo
My solution:
1- Remove SIM card
2- Download I8700DBTJK1 ROM from SamFirmware
3- Flash I8700DBTJK1 ROM as a new firmware
4- Default language of that ROM seems to be German but it is ok, we can change it to English after finishing ROM update
5- At Zune Welcome screen, let it check update, it will find 7008 update (pre-NoDo update. In Zune, it will report as February update)
6- Finish pre-NoDo update, come to Zune program, let it check update
7- Find No-Do (in Zune, it calls March update)
8- Let it automatic do its job
9- When it finish, insert SIM card
10- Enjoy
Hope you can get it, too

No luck here, had already installed JK1 but still no nodo

thx for the effort anyway

Just to save anyone the hassle. There is nothing you can do to force the NoDo update. Anything you do before receiving the update notification is entirely coincidence.
And just to prove my point, I tried this. It doesn't work

you should note that there are 3 JK1 ROMs in SamFirmware, I used XENJK1 but no NoDo. When I changed to another, NoDo appears
Hope you can find NoDo, too

Again, coincidence. I too am using XENJK1, however flashed the same ROM as you (DBTJK1) and no NoDo.
There is no finding NoDo, it finds us

I have a new think. Can u try?
Before completing the update with new rom (xen to dbt), u open Zune and delete the existing device in Zune, then u connect your Omnia to PC
Hope it done !!!

If you have flashed the rom and received the pre nodo update then you WILL get nodo soon, you're on the list for rollout it's just a matter of waiting for it to come to you.

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

[Q] Updating after flashing a rom.

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

This is the most useful thing anyone has ever said, I'll hold on for the moment. Please let us know what's going on with the UK unbranded firmware, thankyou.

t-mob (germany) no mango (i need help please)

hello all,
so i am slightly annoyed, that theres no mango yet, i am hoping ypu people can help me, get rid of this horrible t-mob germany firmware.
on: 7.0.7392.0
Bootloader 5.2.1.4
unlocked (three uk sim atm) (i am in uk)
i just want mango, i dont care how i get it----im pretty pc knowledgeable, so just fire it at me.

It's been mentioned a few times already, but the Mango update may take a while to reach all devices.
There's a list of downloadable firmwares in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131891
And there's a guide somewhere on the site on how to flash your device. I highly suggest the JL3 firmware, as that's the one I used to debrand my T-Mobile Germany Omnia 7. After that, it's just a matter of updating it back to NoDo and then waiting for Mango to hit your device. If it doesn't come through immediately, you can always force the update (again, there's a guide around here somewhere).
Word of warning, flashing that firmware will wipe everything on your phone. Stuff that's stored in the cloud is easily sorted, but any music, videos, etc. will disappear.

hey thanks!! i am about to start sticking that rom on, the only thing i am worried about are apps, but i assume they will just sort themselves out and re-install?

ok, flashed that rom, and cant update past 7008, is there a nodo three rom available?
edit --- got it to install nodo using trick (internt pull out)

Omnia 7 mango
I am in the same boat with you. I could not update from Nodo with WIFI trick. At last, I downloaded KH2 firmware from Samsung mobile and flashed my phone. My Omnia now is the running mango fantastically!
Try it for yourself. You will not be regret.
FYI.
Quang

I got a similar phone x-display in the UK......had a problem with the battery so took it to carphone warehouse......they wiped the original t-mobile logos and german text and Mango updated straight away as soon as I got it back......so if you can find a reason for a quick repair.....

[Q] 8107 update

heard that the 8107 update is being rolled out...has anyone with a dvp got it? any new features?

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?
I'm just asking because I also have an unlocked DVP and still no update - then again I'm on Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac...

Still no update on my DVP. Still at 7720. Force update method not working as stated in my earliest post
