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.
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

Hi!
Since I'm new and couldn't post in the development forums, I'll ask here.
What is the difference between debranding an Optimus 7 via the MFG app and flashing the device to an "EU Open"-firmware? I've done it through the MFG app and while it still says Vodaphone under Carrier in the About menu, I received all updates right after the debranding was done. Does this mean that future updates for my phone only go to the manufacturer and back?
If you debrand your phone with a new firmware, the phone became a real No-Brand; no logo, no icon, no customized options. If you "debrand" only via mfg, all these thing remain but the server recognise the device like nobrand and update it.
I have an other question: Can i debrand my LG Optimus 7 with Win7 x64? I only read that everone use XP. Also, if I debrand it with the mfg app, will the update to mango debrand it 100%?
first question: yes i'have done it yet. (use all program as administrator)
second question: no, debrand via mfg only force the update of OS but the firmware still the same after this.
hello, how can i debrand my Optimus 7? I have the orange logo at startup and i want to remove it...
Thanks in advance
just use the search button, and u will find it.
Hi all,
I'd like to go further in this question.
Orange FR (my carrier) is about to remove one or two good things from the Mango update (Tethering for example).
If I debrand my phone using MFG, will the fact of changing from Nodo to Mango completely enable me to get a complete free firmware?
I understand that an update from a version of Nodo to another version of it is just a kind of update. But as the change from Nodo to Mango is major, do we know if the ROM will be completely changed?
Hello,
After reading a lot of posts, I still can't figure out if the Interop Unlock is kept while updating to the latest updates. I tried to downgrade to an "unlockable" version, unlocked, made the unlock "permanent" (via Registry edit) then update, but this didn't work.
I used the WindowBreak unlock, achieve to use it with older version, but when I updated, it wasn't unlocked anymore.
Did I do something bad ? Or did I misunderstand everything ?
Thank you.
Interop Unlock with WindowBreak stay after the official update KK2 via Zune but if you do a Hard Reset you can't unlock more
Downgrade to 7740 with Back Up..... Unlock using WindowBreak and then Update manually version OS 8107 with CAB
You must also update all languages pack on your Omnia 7
EDIT:This is in Official Post for Update Manually OS 8107 with CAB By Heathcliff74
"WARNING!! The new Samsung Onmia 7 KK2 update will prevent the use of Interop Unlock and WindowBreak! This Samsung Firmware update is accompanied with the 7.10.8107.79 if you update with Zune. Other Samsung devices are probably affected too, but I don't know if the update code for those device is KK2 too. If you are already unlocked, this update will not relock your device. If you want to keep the possibility of Interop Unlock open, then use the method described in this thread to update to 7.10.8107.79 without updating to Samsung KK2!"
no solution yet?
I just want to be sure that I'm not missing something... At this point in time there is no way around the fact that windowbreak does not work with the latest samsung update?
Roll back is the only option?

If you have received Samsung Update KK2 don't unlock Omnia 7 with WindowBreak
If you unlock before Update KK2 unlock stay
If you do a Hard Reset after Update KK2 can't unlock with WindowBreak

Ok I rolled back. Realised that update doesnt do much important anyway.
Some of the homebew/bazaar apps still tell me my phone isnt fully unlocked though, like opera mobile.
What's the difference between interop and fully unlocked?
Sorry for stealing attention, but can anyone provide a link with instructions to how to roll back, or downgrade, manually, via magldr or somethink like that? Basically, that should be the same as putting a custom rom, right?
Also, all the links posted for previous firmwares are dead, is there a source where i could download a mint official 7740 or previous firmware? My Omnia has been bought in croatia. Should i only use the ROM for a specific region, or will any european rom do? I use my phone in english.
I can't do the zune roll back since i have to hard reset and change my liveID..
EDIT:
Is tis it? Is this how i flash an older firmware? If so, now I only need the ROM files..

So i do a restore via zune, and than hard reset and change liveID? That would work you think?
The reason I'm doing this is because croatia has been given access to marketplace and i need to change liveID, put the croatian one as the main one.

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:
