[Q] Differences between leaked Mango RTM and official rom

Has anyone noticed any differences in the official Mango release? I know the changes probably are minimal, but any extra options, performance increases or bug fixes? I will report back when i get mine updated.

So far on AT&T Focus:
- Hidden SSID
- Tap Focus (the camera will focus on the place you tap)
- Compass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (at last)
- the Firmware and Radio Software version changed from 2103.11.3.3 to 2103.11.8.1
- the bootloaderverdion changed from 5.3.1.6 to 5.8.0.2

Can you please list the versions for all the updates you have under Settings - About - More?
I had Mango Beta 2 (not RTM) and received a set of auto updates. One to 7720, one "Cleanup" package and now one Samsung Update and want to make sure that I am now on the official Mango build and that I don't need to downgrade to get the official one.

Here's what I see on my phone after updating to Mango using info posted today on WPCentral.com
OS:7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware: 3.1.0.7
Radio: 2103.11.8.1
Radio Hardware: 0.0.0.3
Boot-loader : 5.8.0.2
Chip SOC : 0.36.2.0
Can anyone confirm the same versions after updated to Mango without doing any forcing?

I didn't do any forcing of the update and I have the same software/firmware versions as your device.
BTW: MS said months ago that current generation phones would be version 7.1 and 2nd generation phones would be labled as 7.5 - guess it has to do with the additional hardware.
I guess I had better upgrade....

If Zune isn't showing that you have an update available, go to the Windows Phone Hacker site and they have an easy way to force the update to the at&t build of Windows "Mango"

****, man, that's pretty bad news for me
I knew I should wait for the official update. I am not even sure now what creature I have on the phone.
I guess it's not the branded AT&T version?
What does the 7.5 has compared to 7.1 ?
What versions do you see on 'about'? Please post them.

NOTHING SUCKS! The Zune update will work on just about any version of OS you are running.
7.1 is on first gen devices and 7.5 is on second gen devices - adds support for front facing camera, etc.
As to what version of software am I now running? Just look at the above posts, the answer is there.
Just connect to Zune on your PC and go from there.

Well I don't know what you are talking about because if you have the same software versions as above then you have the latest version of software.

PS. I posted a reply above too stating I have the same version as minori
We all have the same (latest) version of software.
Let's put this thread to rest.

i'm pretty sure the gen2 devices will still be using 7.1 as the build number, under the OS version above it says windows phone 7.5 on my focus even though the specifc build is still 7.10.7720.68

So true, I stand corrected.

I was running one of the Beta builds and not the RTM, but I did notice one difference right off the bat. For linked contacts pinned to the home screen; the displayed name changed. It previously used the name I set but when I updated it changed and choose the name from the linked contact with the most info.
For example, I have my wife pinned to my home screen. Her contact card consists of 3 linked contacts. I don't really need it to display her last name so I just had it set up to show her first name (by leaving the last name field blank on the primary contact). In Mango RTM, it went in and pulled the name details from one of the other linked contacts since it had more info (it ad the first and last name filled in) and proceeded to use that name as the display name on the tile.

I updated today from pre-release mango to final mango and got the clean-up update, but I did NOT get the samsung update. Im still on:
radio software: 2103.10.10.1 and bootloader 4.10.0.1
anyone have an idea how to get the samsung updates?

Thanks to everyone for confirming the build numbers. On my Focus (rev 1.3), I have the same as posted here. Good to know that I don't have to roll-back after all!

Unfortunately I had debranded my phone to get NoDo, so I won't be able to get the update through Zune as it stands Any ideas how to force the Samsung drivers?

Unbranded 16GB Omnia 7 and no Mango till now

I have samsung omnia 7 16GB unbranded i bought it from expansys
and till now i didn't get Mango update
any one could help
Regards

Lies and a different battery cover?
I dunno the whole system seems buggered - I have an 8GB "3" branded Omnia 7, and I received the updates the day it came out

Its getting rolled slowly, it can take up to 24 days to reach everyone. Google force update trick to get it to install faster
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Try the Unofficial Way
You probably won't get the update until a few weeks because it's still in the distribution phase which could, or could not, take forever.
There is a trick that everyone's been doing though:
1. Connect your phone to your PC and launch Zune.
2. Go to your phone's settings from there, and click the 'Update' tab.
3. Then click on any other tab, and once again click on the Update tab.
4. This is the tricky part...right after you click the 'Update' tab for the second time, wait exactly from 2 to 3 seconds and then disconnect your PC from internet. You must do that before you get the 'No Updates Found' screen.
If you suceed, you should wait for about 20 seconds and then you will find an available update.
5. Reconnect to the internet, start your update, and voila.

thx for help
i try this unofficial way and it work with me and install the first update 7.0.4
but while installing 7.10 it give me error and the phone restart and stuck with samsung omnia 7 logo
i made hard reset for the phone it restore again to old software
but form this time every time i restart the phone it stuck with omnia 7 logo and i have to remove the battery and insert it again to load the os
any idea about this

I have 16GB unlocked and unbranded version as well and i have no mango yet either. I read elsewhere here that if you do the "trick" download using Zune you don't get the proper update for the Omnai because there is a Samsung firmware update as well that is missing. I will wait for a few weeks max to see if I can get via Zune. Will let you know when I get it.

@egyfox85:
Try to flash your device with a RTM ROM (or Nodo rom, but you cant use then the Chevron Jailbreak), because your Omnia 7 firmware is damaged.
Then try update to Mango..
Greetings.

I'm in a similar position as you where I have a 16gb Omnia 7. I actually forced my device but restored it back to NoDo soon after realising my firmware version was incorrect. I just hope me forcing it doesn't hinder my chance of getting Mango - does anyone know whether this could be an issue or not?

I have an unbranded omnia 7 16gb from tmobile germany (no carrier branding shown when turned on the phone). I forced update to mango but received an error 80180048 and now I want to reflash it back to its original rom to re-do updates to nodo and just wait for offical release. Does anyone know what the original rom is?

I was in the same situation. I made dozens of attempts to update, but only succeeded by reverting to a pre nodo rom, and allowing updates as far as Zune would go. After this, the phone updated all the way through to Mango using the network pull trick without issue. So if you are willing to wipe the phone completely, this might be the way.
I started at Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJL3 Retail UK.

I've been using Mango since the day it first rolled out on my 16GB Omnia 7 from expansys UK.
Used the forced update, got the lastet OEM updated firmware with it too

now my phone stuck at start up Omnia 7 logo and i reflash it with firmware I8700XXKC1 after i finish it updated to 7.392 but also no mango
this should be UK rom
any idea about this too

Nice one mate and congratulations (I'm jealous lol) - I'm checking mine everyday but have had no luck so far, guess I'll just have to be patient. Just for info, is your phone a German model, (mine is but its still unlocked/unbranded). I ordered mine from eBay assuming it was a UK model but it wasn't - it updated to NoDo fine a while back...

yip, mine is a German model with 16GB (that's why I bought from there). But hey, horror stories.... I couldn't update NOW so I deleted it thinking that the old version was stopping the new version from downloading. Then I couldnt get it at all so I tried to go back to NODO and couldnt restore. Phone hung on the update connection . Reinstalled KC1 using WP7 installer and got back to NODO and did a force install (trick) to get back to Mango. And still I cannot update NOW; must be a Sammy problem. You should try the "force Zune trick" to get the Mango update pal..

Running 16 GB unbranded Omnia 7 purchased from ebay.de on Swisscom in CH and tried Zune update for 1/2 hour ago .... & got the regular update to Mango (not forced). Will post later if everything went well.... Regz from CH

Aaah,nah I already forced it and wasn't happy as the firmware was completely wrong, the reason I reverted back to NoDo was because of that issue. On a positive note, I sent a tweet to windowsphonehelp (or whatever they're called) and they responded back saying if you've forced it and go back to NoDo it shouldn't cause an issue - so, when Mango does officially come out for these handsets, I should get it with no issues. Here's hoping that happens sometime soon as I'm getting quite fed up - all my mates and even my brother are fully mango'd

I've been having loads of issues with it. I had no problems whatsoever on NoDo.
Slooooow boot ups. (sometimes fast sometimes takes a couple of mins)
Sometimes if i switch it off and on it locks up and just displays the battery indicator. No home screen. (need to pull the battery)
Problems with the data connection dying requiring a soft reset of the phone to re-enable. (this is a MAJOR issue)
Started having bluetooth issues - it wont discover anything sometimes. (seems to work if i switch on WiFi as well. wtf?)
Info slow to appear on lock screen.
Keyboard closes itself randomly (known issue i see)
Really un-impressed with Mango. I've just hard reset my device so will see if that helps at all.

So my specs are close to most others on here so I dont think I will force back to NODO to wait for official Mango. My phone is working 100% on every level right now so i will leave well enough alone for now!!
Let me know when you get the official release and your stats when installed.

I've got I8700XXKK1 in my phone now!!!

Hi everybody,
I just received an official install from Zune. Now I've got:
PDA: i8700XXKK1
Phone: i8700XXKI1
CSC: i8700XECKK1
In numbers:
OS Version: 7.10.7720.68
PDA Firmware: 2424.11.11.1
PDA hardware revision: 3.15.0.4
Phone Firmware: 2424.11.9.1
Phone hardware version: 0.0.0.800
Bootloader: 5.11.0.3
And... yes. I've got Internet Sharing available.
Now waiting for the last Microsoft update to fix exchange troubles. (7740)
Another thing. My phone is unlocked by official ChevronWP7 Labs and interop-unlocked. All these are kept without troubles after update.

Great news!
Hi, any improvements?
Is your device banded or not?
What is your carrier?
Better yet, if you have unlocked your phone, check the value here:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOpe rator="Your carrier name should be here"

Well. My phone is from Movistar Spain carrier and it's factory unlocked & unbranded. The original string in MobileOperator is "FON-ES".
Because as Movistar ever has been the last in all updates, from 7004 version, I had "000-88" at the registry to be able receive all updates until Mango. Today I read that Movistar was deploying Mango update, and only for test I tried putting again the original string at the registry and "voilá", I received an update from Samsung with those results.
The last week with 000-88 I received a little update form Samsung putting my firmware from 2424.11.8.5 to 2424.11.8.9, but nothing more. I didnt receive the second part.
It's soon to say something about improvements. In a couple of days, I'll put comments about this. I hope battery had been improved, because with Mango I had to disable a lot of push notifications to save battery.

Thanks for your reply. Yes please report back with your findings regarding battery usage, and reception/wifi problems if you had that.

YES!!! I can confirm that I'm running on latest OS version 7.10.7740.16
and latest firmware / radio / bootloader 2424.11.11.1 / 2424.11.9.1 / 5.11.0.3
I had stucked to the KI3 SFR-FR fw update (via WP7 cab sender) and I could not update via Zune (or WP7 cab sender) to the latest firmwares (via Regedit of OperatorName, KI4 and so on). Even the OS update to 7740.16 failed via Zune.
So those stuck on SFR-FR, flash 7740.16 cab with WP7 cab sender, change your regisrty HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo/MobileOperator/ to FON-ES and update via Zune.
PubERB thanks for the heads up for this update. If you want you can try WP7 cab sender and get the newest cab for the os to get the 7740.16 os version.

Did this firmware update, fix the stupid color banding?

I haven't experienced the 16bit banding issue since NoDo. After the Mango update, throughout the os, e.g. lock-screen wallpaper, I see no banding except for some 3rd party apps. I'm not quite sure though if it is because I carried the registry fix-hack over Mango, I can't recall if I updated with the hack activated. But I don't have any red screens. If you would tell me where to look for banding, I'll let you know (I'll check the registry as well to see if there are edits)

I've had the banding, even before NoDo. The only place where I don't have any banding is in a zoomed picture...
It is really annoying, you can't really watch videos because it looks disorted.
I have my phone Interpop unlocked, and the editing in registry doesn't work..
I don't really care if I have the banding on the lockscreen, or in Internet Explorer, I just can't bear it in Zune..

I did exactly the same changed from 000-88 to FON-ES MobileOperator in Registry and now I have firmware / radio / bootloader 2424.11.11.1 / 2424.11.9.1 / 5.11.0.3 and Internet Sharing

Hmm, I've got 7740 and the updates that give me Internet Sharing but my Firmware and Bootloader version numbers are older than that :-S
Mine is a German T-mobile phone.

Same troubles with BOTH WIFI AND 3G ON. Even the newest FW 2424.11.11.1 for FON-ES doesn´t help. IE9 uploads (3G OFF) became faster but the problem persists.
I also suspected Interop-Unlock from the wifi malfunction and applied the new Heatcliff77´s Samsung Repair 3G.xap afterwards. That worked for my Omnia 7 and is worth of try.

i try it yesterday...very nice firmware and allshare working with it...but i went back to 2424.11.9.2 because everytime when i turn internet sharing on and then off my data connection not work..what helps is to turn wifi off and again on then it works again....but thats a bad solution 4 me....i think wait 4 sausung is now the best think ...hopfully they update the non branded omnia 7 with new firmware...

I have an unlocked Omnia 7 - btw of German origin - and do not experience any problems after sharing the internet. Phone restores its wifi/3G connection smoothly on 2424.11.11.1 firmware. A forced installation of wifi hotspot was made before upgrading to 24.24.11.1, however.

Ok...how do u enable tethering...with diag mode or with the xap from here?

Well. After several days from my update, I had to say that all my troubles are gone now.
-Better battery life.
-AllShare runs ok now.
-Internet sharing works without troubles.
-Compass very accurate.
-Smoother interface.
Nothing to say about 16bits banding. I can't see it. I know is disabled by default due to battery saving, but 32 bits can be activated by the applications when they need it, for example by picture editors.
I'm not hurry with 7740 update. I can wait for it.

I also got this update, after changing in registry. The battery charges faster, alot faster. But nothing else has changed.. the banding is still there, I don't care about other apss, I just need the default apps to work in 32 bit, but well..

I'm not sure, but I think you can activate 32 bits touching the registry. Maybe not with this update, but you could try.

Already tried it, but you can't force 32 bit on Mango, only worked on NoDo

So those stuck on SFR-FR, flash 7740.16 cab with WP7 cab sender, change your regisrty HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo/MobileOperator/ to FON-ES and update via Zune.
PubERB thanks for the heads up for this update. If you want you can try WP7 cab sender and get the newest cab for the os to get the 7740.16 os version.

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.

dell venue pro no brand, updated here in Italy from Zune... no tethering...
bye

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

Also, FYI the update, I was on 7740 before the 8107 update yesterday.

Tango on E900 and still no Internet Sharing !

Hi everyone.
I want to ask this because I didn't find any clear and direct answer to this question (in the awfully long threads about this topic).
I don't own an Optimus 7 directly, I am talking about my girlfriend's phone.
Long ago I heard about the possibility of enabling Internet Sharing on LG E900 Optimus 7.
I already know that a particular driver or firmware update is required for it.
Today I managed to update the phone to Tango using Zune. Still I don't receive any LG firmware upgrade ...
These are the firmware numbers I read :
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.1.2.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.1.2.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
My girlfriend wants Internet Sharing but she won't let me reset her phone. She doesn't want to lose any message or app or photo or video or information she stored so far.
So the question is :
is there ANY WAY to flash the driver, to flash the firmware, to flash what's needed into this phone to enable internet sharing without losing any data ?
I already enabled the Internet Sharing option using registry editor, but the driver is still missing. "There is a problem with the current settings" message appears when I try to enable it.
any dev could help me ? I wonder if the cab sender isn't enough to send this driver to the phone.
can somebody give me a clear answer except for "you must reset the phone" ?
Currently I am downloading the firmware 'LG-E900AT-00-V10g-222-10-SEP-29-2010+0_DZ'
Can I flash it without losing all the informations on the phone ? (the real question is : the firmware will reset the ROM too ?)
Waiting for your answer.
Have a nice day.

Good to you that you made update on 8773 on OPN firmware, but my opinion reason why you be luck to update on 8773 is because you do not have OPN firmware that bring Internet Sharing.
My Story:
Couple months ago, Zune SW pop-up with notification for new update, at the end my phone was able to act as access point.
To be able to do that on your phone, you will need 1.1.9.10, in between there two other firmware 1.1.4.10 & 1.1.6.10.
I am suspect that reason why I cannot update on 8112 and 8773 is this firmware.
Please if someone with 1.1.9.10 OPN firmware has same problem, please describe here.
Currently my firmware is LG-E900_V11i_Final-jan-27-2012-2250-7720, as I can see this firmware does not exist under stock ROM for Optimus 7. In any case bring ICS to LG Optimus 7.
Cheers.

Can you send me the cab updates for these firmware ?

And the most important question is :
what happens if I send the wrong cab to the phone ?

superbump !

hey
that is the reason of silly support for LG E900, no custom roms etc.
Because Users don't know what they have in own phones.
There is internet sharing since mango.
Serach in setting: internet acces!

You didn't really read all my topic, didn't you ??
What are you saying is wrong.
Tango didn't bring the internet sharing.
A firmware update that was not received by everyone bringed it.
The firmware update changes accordingly to the brand of the phone.
I forced the 'Internet Sharing' option to show up by using WinTT.
When I try to enable it as I already said a "There is a problem with the current settings" message appears.
The real question is still this :
I bought my Optimus 7 in France, and I discovered later that it was 'OPN' branded. I used it with Vodafone since the beginning. PHERAPS this is the reason I didn't get the firmware update.
So what happens if I try to manually flash the cab 'LG Optimus 7/E900 - OPN NEU branded 1.1.6.10 - November 7th 2011' over :
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.1.2.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.1.2.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
???

Hey,
Same history for me but my Firmaware and Radio are different.
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.0.4.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.0.4.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
Thanks and sorry for my english!

for what its worth, I know the german vodaphone branded rom has it, and its works great, for me its been enabled since i've had the device.
