Hey guys,
Have a feeling its going to be a 'No' thread but thought I'd ask anyway..
I upgraded to official Mango release via Ansar's ROM a few weeks back, only to not read instructions and half brick my phone when attempting to return to NoDo (Only get the top line in bootloader mode)..
I've just had news that my carrier (Vodafone NZ) have finally released the official NZ ROM and I would like to update to that if possible as I believe it will fix a few software issues (Such as Local Scout not detecting anything and Bing Song recognition disappearing)..
Is this at all possible avoiding bootloader menu??
Fingers crossed,
MVP
24 hours and not one 'No..'.. I hope that is a good thing..

This from the official T-M boards and Twitter:
From Monday 4th October there will be an over the air (OTA) update making it's way to T-Mobile branded Wildfires. This update will improve the general stability of the 2.1 operating system.
Watch out for it coming your way from Monday.
Cheers

It'll prob be the 1.25.405.1 update (we're still on 1.14.xxx) If i install this would I loose root?
flash it through recovery
thanks for the info OP, i've been getting so annoyed with the phone randomly crashing and restarting. Although I think I'll do my research today and backup the original ROM and put on the 2.2 puzzle roms available. Need to root my new PS3 anyway
So a few weeks back I forced NoDo on my phone. I haven't plugged it into my PC for a bit but this morning when I did I got a message that a 'New Samsung Update' was avaliable for my phone.
Not sure what it is, maybe just some branding things...I'll keep you posed in case no one else has seen/tried this.
It is a firmware update. Ppl who update to NoDo officially will have it inside the NoDo package already. Those updated earlier need to do it separately. It's bug fixes and new features (outlined in WPCentral.com).
I'll have to look that up, I must've missed the article. It went through no problem at least.
Yeah, new features include the AT&T-specific stuff (AT&T address book account type available to add), as well as a change to default camera settings (anti-shake on by default), and a change that prevents you from swiping onto the capacitive buttons from the main display and accidentally activating them (thus exiting a game when swiping too far, etc.) - they respond to taps, but are disabled when your finger starts up on the display portion of the screen. Not sure what else yet...
I don't think that the Samsung update is actually bundled with NoDo (at least not for everyone). I've got the official NoDo update for Rogers in Canada, but none of the Samsung update features (i.e. anti-shaking is still off by default, buttins the same as pre-NoDo).
I assume we are talking about AT&T update unless specified otherwise. Rogers customer get the update a while back. There was a talk of firmware update after you updated to NoDo. These two phones really should have be treated separately.
Can anyone with a Rogers Focus confirm this? Does anyone who got NoDo through Rogers actually have anti-shaking enabled by default?
My thoughts: Rogers did get a firmware update post nodo that did not include anti-shake. AT&T users recently got it bundled with some AT&T specific features. Rogers users still without anti-shake. Maybe soon? Might be waiting to bundle it with other fixes...
does this samsung fimware update gives new numbers in firmware version? because i did not see any firmware version change after official nodo update through zune sync.

Assume you have an AT&T Focus:
1. There are two updates. You need run the update twice.
2. Yes, the firmware version gets bumpped to 11.3.3
ATT Focus
Thye bootloader also changes. I can confirm that the Chevron Updater method does take you to 7390, but does not change the Firmware, Radio Software or Boatloader version. The Samsung Update from Zune (Official ATT) does change these.
I have an Omnia 7 and have the issues that have been discussed on this forum, Voicemail doesn't save, calls get dropped etc.
I got impatient and walshed my phone to 7390 hoping this may solve the issues but no luck, I have also applied walsh's fix to get me back on the supported update path.
I have a few questions before I proceed to flash the firmware for my phone.
Will my firmware get updated automatically anyway?
My phone is currently branded for T-Mobile UK, are the roms on samfirmware.com unbranded?
My phone has been network unlocked by a code, NOT the Cheveron tool, will this unlock stay with the phone if I flash the firmware?
If the roms are not unbranded or for T-Mobile UK what are the downsides and side effects to going ahead with the firmware flash?
Many thanks for your input, eitherway I think I will be waiting untill Tuesday to see if I get the 7392 update and check if that has updated my firmware first before I do flash my phone.
My current firmware info:-
PDA----------I8700XXJJ4
Phone--------I8700XXJJ3
CSC----------I8700TMUJJ4
Bootloader---4.10.1.2
I can't update to WP7 Mango (As many others!!)
Is there anyone who has found a solution to this problem?
Till now, there is no easy solution.
Many of Optimus 7 phones have an old Bootloader and LG has released, seems to me, only for branded phones a newer version.
And with this new version of Bootloader you can update to Mango.
There at Microsoft is a large thread for that:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...b6-ab62-4ca26b3fbbe7?page=32&tm=1317160531307
Have a look there but its not MS fault, its LG.
For the moment, you can flash a ROM of your choice from there and after flashing you got a compatible Bootloader and the update process went smoth and without problems.
Thats my way, my Optimus had the old Bootloader but after flashing the Europe Open ROM, the update to Mango is finished without the above error.
Good luck!
Hi All
Hoping you can help as i am struggling to understand how this all works with this manufacturer. I got this tablet yesterday and love it so far ... upon starting the tablet i was greeted with an update notification that i initially figured was for 7.0 - turns out this was a patch for 6.0.
This is all great except i noticed in another thread that someone with the same version and based in the uk received the update. Mine wont find it. I tried the PC software to see if this would work as it used to on other manufacturers (Sony for example) but it said i was up to date.
I would prefer to update the official way if possible (not my first BBQ, have had more android tablets than you can poke a stick at - have resorted to all sorts of ways to get the next software before)
Any ideas anyone ? least possible effort as i don't want to corrupt this awesome piece of kit !
From what I can tell they roll it out in waves based on the device's IMEI. I also haven't received it in Italy when some people in neighbouring countries have. I guess all you can do is wait. By the way, corrupting the device is not that easy, if you want to test Nougat right now, you can get it using Firmware Finder, then you can roll back to the regular version using a rollback package you can find on Huawei's website. Worst case scenario, you will have to factory reset, but it won't be a big deal I guess since you just got it. I was able to roll back from a failed flash of Nougat just fine, then reflashed the correct version of Nougat and used it for a while, then rolled back again because I heard the official ota is coming, and it always worked just fine.
Ok great thanks for confirming. i almost went for the galaxytab s2 again (my wife swindled me out of my old one ! ) but glad i didn't - this one runs better on 6.0 than the s2 on 7.0 i noticed.
