I'm rocking my focus, which hasn't been unlocked since mango 7720. I used chevron unlock to get nodo and played around with some tones in the registry. So the only changes I made to get nodo was change the registry carrier from ATT to blank. Had to use the Hungary and disconnect trick for nodo, but have gotten every update since. (cheated for mango too, but that, obviously was impatience)
So my question is, is it worth it to download this one, as I see a lot of people are having data and other issues with it...

ATT Focus
I have no confidence in ATT so I upgraded first to 7740, then 8107 using the cab sender method. Everything works fine. Still Chevron WP7 token and interop unlocked, and all of my registry edits are intact. The upgrade went easily, was recognized by Zune, and the backup was also recognized. Hope this helps. No data issues or any other issues. Most issues people have using the cab sender method had to do with misunderstanding what language packs needed to be installed.
That's what I did. Changed ATT-US to Rog-CA, and upraded to 7740. Then changed back to ATT and used the CabSender method to get to 8107. All is working fine.

It's been a while and patiently waiting for Samsung or MS to provide a solution to address this issue but still no luck. After doing some research, connecting the dots and thinking a way around to make this work. I finally was able to.
So I just want to share to the rest of my fellow Omnia7 users who are frustrated with getting the MMS to work 'coz despite the Network profile tool working with some, there are still some like me who couldn't.
Here are the steps I did to finally make it work.
1. If you are on Nodo already, unlocked and still no mms. Just install the SamsungTools from lyriquidperfection found here tick on Set 'Run ADC' Flag and reboot the phone. You don't need to run the Network Profile any more just check if your carrier is the one listed in the mms setting by going to the Diagnosis menu (##634#) then keying in *#9920#
2. If you are on Nodo already, locked and no mms. Unfortunately, you would have to flash to the previous rom before Nodo if you can't successfully make Chevron work. I used this version I8700_XEN_I8700XENJK1 found in this thread. Unlock your phone using Chevron and then installing the SamsungTools. After you have mms working, you can upgrade to NoDo. There's a possibility that you may lose the unlock state, mine still remained unlocked. But you're mms settings will be retained.
I don't know if there's an easier way to get MMS working but this worked for me.

I did this route, but not for MMS, i had a problem on my Omnia 7 display from tweaking registry. I had to flash to this ROM I8700_XEN_I8700XENJK1 but i really wanted my original branded T-mobile UK rom . Now my phone is dev unlocked and on Nodo, but today i see a branded t-mobile ROM on the main samsung omnia 7 page, so i will flash to Samsung-Omnia-7-Firmware-XXJJ6-ALL-PROVIDERS even if it goes back to firmware 7.0 7004 ..then update to nodo after. Im having one or two issues with XEN_I8700XENJK1 ROM on my Omnia 7 thats why i am flashing again. oh well more loss of apps, settings and tension lol
thanks for the good tips, i will check it out for MMS issues.
I only post this here for those interested who may not pay attention to the general Win Phone 7 section. It is a link to the steps I took to get from dev unlocked nodo 7390 to mango 7166 keeping my dev. unlock:

Good luck and enjoy mango responsibly!
I don't know if anyone post this but I had the same problem with the internet and th MMS they where not working. There IS NO NEED TO RESET OR TO CALL AT&T FOR UNLOCK CODE.....
SIMPLY HAVE INSTALLED SAMSUNG TOOLS (BY GAZZ) FROM NODO WHEN YOU DO THE UPGRADE.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497&page=9
AFTER YOU MODIFY THE UNLOCK WITH *#9908# SIMPLY GO TO THE SAMSUNG TOOLS AND CHECK ALL THE BOXES AND APPLY IT WILL REBOOT AND VUALAAAAAA YOUR FOCUS NOW HAVE INTERNET AND MMS AGAIN.....
RUNNING MANGO FROM MY FOCUS
I follow your instruction, however my phone is re-locked after install mango
nodo: unlocked
pre-mango: unlocked
mango: locked
I tried to go back nodo, then did the whole process 3 time, but no luck. I also tried to update mango by a different way, got mango but also re-locked my phone.
----------------
NVM, deleted the diagnosis app, then dial ##634# again, everything works
Can you gentelmen try to see if after REGULAR update process from Zune (so OS and FIRMWARE update, both) USB tethering continues to work?
on mine doesn't, I was surprised after the update since I always did it without problems.
Was it working with NoDo? At mine phone it was a lottery if it works, but sometime working. Have you tried to disable all data transmissions and reboot phone?
It is not longer working after update, Mango (WP 7.5OS) update came with the tethering capability but it's locked by service provider.
Let's wait for news. Other people has started opening that feature for HTC phones.
The old method of USB tethering (QC COMPOSITE, etc.) is working for me with the official Mango update. I'm running the Vodafone Romania V10k ROM (+Mango obviously) at the moment.
Yes, the old method seems not working after update, I will try to disable data and retry (windows say that modem is busy)

I disabled data and I also switched the COM port in Device Manager. Maybe it's the latter that did it.
Hi,
I got a problem updating my Omnia 7.
It is a german T-Mobile branded with 16GB. At first I could not upgrade it, because I could not get into download mode (wrong boot-firmware). I got myself a Jig-Device and solved that. After that I was shown an update by Zune. So i updated to 7004 then to 7008 then to 73something, but after that updating to 7720 did not work. I got Errorcode 8000FFFF. Which told me that I might be forced to sync my data back to my mobiel (no problem, no data on it).
After that I formated the telefone to default settings but I was still not able to upgrade to Mango.
Then I debranded the phone using a firmware from the developer forum. After that I wasx back at 7004 and upgraded the phone again (I restarted the phone after each successfull flash). But still I was stuck with 8000FFFF.
Then I went back to german T-Mobile branding und tried a third time going to mango - still not working.
Problem is: A colleague of me went with her HD7 straigt to Mango, and even one of our directors did a successful update on his omnia 7 (and he is defenitly not a techie).
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a firmware available which updates me directly to Mango?
Is my phone faulty?
Regards and thank you for your help!
I have followed the next steps to update my Focus Flash i677 to get Tango and preserve the Windowbreak state:
First that all my Focus Flash had the 7712 Mango version already installed and I used this easy tutorial to get Windowbreak:
http://windowsphonehacker.com/artic...ck_your_samsung_wp7_with_windowbreak-12-23-11
Remember that If you use the above method with higher versions of Mango or Tango this will not work.
Then I used a manual method via Cab Sender to get 8107 update, until here you still have the Windowbreak condition.
http://www.wpcentral.com/force-updating-your-windows-phone-os-build-8107-tutorial
Afther that I used the same method to update from 8107 until 8773 with the Cabs that you can found here in the second post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306415
You must update to 8112 and then to 8773.
It´s recommended that you put your phone in to airplane mode and switch off the internet connection on your computer during the process, Cab Sender need an internet connection to start the process, but you can switch off that connection after the process start.
To remain the Windowbreak in Tango follow the next tutorial:
http://windowsphonehacker.com/artic...date_be_forewarned_possible_solution-06-28-12
It worked perfect to me with no issues until now!
Update:
I had some issues with an application then I dicided perform a hard reset to my phone, my surprise was that the Windowbreak had disappeared, then I tried to carry out the process again but now was not possible, because now Im in Tango 8773 and the diagnosis version is high 1109 and the method doesn´t work with that version, the only way to perform Windowbreak again it´s downgrading the OS and the only method that I found was with a Brazilian firmware: I677_OPEN_ZTOKL1_FIRMWARE_SAMSUNG that debrand your phone with no carrier logos and applications and let your device in mango 7720, but again it´s not possible use the Windowbreak method because the firmware version it´s KL1 and we need KK4 for that and there is not another firmware available that we can use, so my recommendation it´s to remain in Mango if you like Windowbreak.
The advantages with the brazilian firmaware it´s that you have call block options, 3g toogle, change the the 4G icon in bar nottification to 3g+, no carrier logos and apps and if you decided aupdate to Tango via Cab Sender again you can do it, but remember without possibilities of Windowbreak for now
thx
great, works for me...
