More info please. What kernel, what ROM, what root did you use? I'm nice, but some people on this forum would eat you alive for leaving a post like this.

I'm sorry amigo - I know very little about phones - new to this world. I'm pretty good with computers though. I learn fast.
It's Kernel version 2.6.29
build number SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18.
Firmware: 2.1-update1
I used one.click.root.exploitv2.2.4 to root the phone. I haven't installed any other ROMS (Is there a place on the phone or within Rom Manager where it displays which exact ROM I am running?).

You're already on DI18, no need to update.
The build number shows you the ROM you're running

Ah great. Thank you.

[Q] Samsung Focus firmware update 2103.11.8.1?

Does anyone know what the recent Samsung firmware update does?
Per the About screen:
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.7
Radio software version: 2103.11.8.1
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.3
Bootloader version: 5.8.0.2
Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0
The update did not specify any bug fixes so I'm just curious what it does.

uh, os version.... that would be mango no?

Is this from AT&T?

where/when did you get the firmware update? I havent seen any update notifications on my device yet. i updated my focus to Mango RTM as soon as it was available, my firmware still shows as 2103.11.3.3 also my radio software and Bootloader are different than yours also, Radio is 2103.11.3.3 and Bootloader is 5.3.1.6

Is yours 1.3 or 1.4 ???

Rogers already got 2124.10.12.2

When did you got update notice on Rogers?
I am using NoDo Focus on Rogers and it says No updates available...

mine is a 1.3

I'm still stuck on 2103.10.10 and all the force updates that I've tried have failed. Any ideas?

Ditto on the 2103.10.10.1. I'm still stuck on this (rev 1.3 phone) and haven't been offerened any other updates. Is it possible to force a firmware upgrade as it seems like this firmware is also the reason that I am unable to InterOP Unlock.

Try this. I forced mine when mango came out officially. I thought I bookmarked the page but this is all I have saved. I know it's somewhere here on the forums.

I got the Samsung update on "mango day" I was already on the leaked RTM 7720 so I was stoked to be getting any update what so ever . Turns out that update is firmware and it brought me up to date and back on the update track . What it does is going to depend on what version you are running but if you have mango I can tell you what it did for me. First thing I noticed was the touch to focus on the camera it would focus b4 on touch but not in specific spots of the screen , The compass now works , diagnostics , hmmm I a sure there are alot more but just a few I noticed rite away.

Flashing HTC Surround ATT Unlocked back to an Stock Rom URGENT!!

Hello
I have an ATT HTC Surround Y8788 it is unlocked to use with any SIM anywhere.
OS Version 7.10.8107.79
Firmware Revision 2250.21.40300.502
Hardware Revision 0003
Bootloader version: 1.52.2250.4 (120323)
Chip Soc version 2.2.5.0
This phone came with a DFT firmware and it looks good, however it keeps crashing and the phone reboots by itself for no reason.
Therefore, I want to go back to a stock rom and start freshing updating to where it's possible using Zune.
Now my question is, I downloaded this firmware: RUU_Mondrian_Cingular_US_1.03.502.07_5.51.09.06_22.30.50_RELEASE
Can I go ahead and just flash my phone using that firmware and then start updating?
Will my phone work properly or I have the change of damaging my phone?
Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks a lot.
Also this is kind of urgent, thanks.

You can use that but it is a VERY old ROM for the surround. I suggest you to stick with the RUU_Mondrian_Cingular_US_1.52.502.04_5.66.09.09_22.46.50_RELEASE which is a more recent ROM. 1.03 had a lot of problems on my surround.

thanks I tried with that one, but I got an error when trying to flash it, error 226, it gets to 10% and then the phone reboots and the flash is cancelled.

[Q] Samsung focus hardware revision 0.8?

Hi, I'm trying to investigate whether my samsung focus (SGH-i917) can be flash upgraded with a windows phone 7.8 ROM. I've seen custom ROMs available for rev1.3 or rev1.4, so I began trying to figure out which one my phone is.
There is no such revision is listed on the label behind the battery, and when I check via the diagnosis application I see this:
HW VERSION: REV0.8
I can't find any reference to a focus hw revision 0.8 anywhere online. This is confusing to me because 1.3 is referred to as "first generation".
Has anyone heard of hw revision 0.8? Am I simply out of luck?
Much appreciated, my full Settings > about info:
Name: SAMSUNG SGH-i917
Model: SAMSUNG SGH-i917
Carrier: AT&T Wireless
Software: Windows Phone 7.5
Total Storage: 7.39 GB
Available storage: 5.61 GB
OS version 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.7
Radio software version: 2103.11.8.1
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.8
Bootloader version: 5.8.0.2
Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0

HW revision 1.0 was sent to developers or was a DEMO phone. Older revisions than 1.0 must be test builds.
It should work flashing 1.3 (as the hardware is the closest) but there's no guarantee it will work. A few users in the forum reported success flashing 1.3 when they realized they bought a 1.0 (which was not supposed to be sold).
Also, the fact that it's updated to 7720 kind of suggests it will work.

Thanks very much for the info, I'll give it a try and report back on whether it works or not. If I brick it then I suppose it'll be be the universe's way of telling me I should just upgrade already.

If it bricks (I doubt it), you should be able to flash the stock rom without issues.

I managed to install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2016769 without a hitch, the phone is now running 7.10.8858.136.
Thanks again!

You would like to try what? What I was stating was my Moto E has an update available to 6.0 MM. I have not downloaded it as of yet, cause I am aware there's something you need to do first in order to capture the download for redistribution. From what I understand you cannot use an already downloaded and installed OEM~OTA update for redistribution...
A little guidance from the seniors would be EXTREMELY appreciated, as this is my first thread ever... I'm looking at you squid2 lolz

i am waiting for the 7th when Telus said they would roll it out.
Not sure how they make the uploaded Firmware archives either..
No matter how many time i asked i either got ignored or hammered with some weird advice (English issue?)
And i meant the one that we all use uploaded to Mega etc.
Who is making them and with what?
Apparently no one knows and what concerns me even more is a little thing called security.
I asked so uhhh why are we not using hashes to verify the firmware ?
It's complete insanity to check hashes on some dumb app and not your OS ..that just blows me away LOL

I'm interested in putting this on my Sprint phone (XT1526). CM13 won't detect my Canadian SIM.

Could you please lend a fellow Ontarian brother a hand, and tell me where the OTA file actually is? I've had the damn thing for a week now, and I can't seem to find it anywhere to capture it! I would love to actually install this OTA...
I do appreciate your help in finding somebody who had done the work already. However the OTA that I have waiting on this phone is a slightly different one. the numbers are different 24.51.39.... my educated guess is going to be it is slightly smaller because it contains no Rogers or Telus bloatware. Wind Mobile does not have a single app installed on this phone right outta the box, So I would like to capture it before I send it off to be installed.
I have read many of your posts across multiple threads, and you are obviously quite knowledgeable -> especially in the coding Department!

Are you sure it's going to install?
Once you Root it or various other custom changes the updates will not install.
It checks if you were tampering with the phone and will deny the update.. even if you can download it.
Thanks for the kind words but i am not sure off hand unless i search around.
One thing you try doing is search online etc with the words Blur, Update, Zip, Location
Or if you have a file manager with root you can search for it.
The benefit of the full packages available is they just install on any phone with no checks.
It's also not an update but the full installer.
So i think it's possible you may download an update with patches.
So it will see what you had before and patch those files.
Which could make saving & using the update again later problematic
..especially if you root !
If you upload it publicly we can check and see if it's a full install or a patch by looking at updater-script probably.
If i were you i would keep tabs on the Firmware repositories to see if the Wind package gets uploaded.
Then you will have a full install you can use coming from most others and with the security checks removed.
If you have something that can search your system files installed you can try searching for something that
will probably have Blur in the file name and be a flashable zip file.
If you have TWRP installed i think you can just load that and look around with the Built-In File Manager.
I am eating lunch so i might look on the web soon and check back here.. good luck.
Sorry i have not done it before so maybe someone who has can speak up or you can find one of their topics here.

The OTA update file is in the device main memory in data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/app_download

Thanks hedimahf i will save that for future reference.
Also lenigma1too i am pretty sure if you rooted your phone then you can not install that update.
Those type of updates are risky for us that customize our phones.. be careful.. make plans to fix it ahead of time
Unless my phone was stock (not rooted) with the default recovery and an original factory locked bootloader
i myself would not even attempt to install the update.
Google it and see the many people talking about BootLoop problems
I bet there is also little difference between Wind, Rogers or Telus aside from a couple small APK's and the Modem data stuff.
If all three have the same radio band support then i wouldn't worry too much about which one to use.
Although you may end up struggling to get your phone calls and text's etc working again if you switch like that.
The Telus one i tried just had 1 extra APK the "My Telus" app and a shortcut to it on the phone.. i uninstalled it with ease.
Other than that i did not see ANY other app's installed that were not standard on the USA/EU retail versions etc
EDIT:
Oh and the BootLogo was like on Lollipop but slightly more blue.
And the Boot animation was new too.. Marshmallow Telus has "Stitches World" video.
The default wallpapers and the collection of them were like on Lollipop too.
EDIT:
My point was the Telus firmware only had "branding" with that one app.
Otherwise the word Telus does not show up anywhere really.
Also i tend to compare packages so i am keeping my eye out so i can see what is different.
If you want i can PM you if i run across Wind version.

They are intended to used with RSDLite or ADB.
They are found on the big Firmware topic(s) here. (first post over there for links)
You should check out the discussion going on for help with that on those topics for best information.
Putting Firmware from on model onto another may break your ability to make phone calls
and then you would have to try and fix it somehow and it starts to get complicated.
Which is why those other topics are so valuable.. good luck.
I repeat the 2 zip's mentioned are NOT flashable-zip's. (they are just a normal zip file for storage)

A new OTA rolled out for many users.
I found it in root /cache
I am working on restoring my phone to stock and applying it.
I don't see anyone making a non-sign firmware package so..
EDIT:
I got it installed now.. it says Patch Level DEC 1st 2016 (instead of February)
System version version 24.71.4
I guess i have to re-apply a ton of changes now
