Still have not received the mango update. I've been searching and researching this issue for more than 4 months with no luck.
When connecting to zune, it says my phone is up to date with current software version: 7.0 (7392)
i have tried the "walshed" phone fix but that was not the issue.
also, the phone doesnt seem to have full functionality with WPDM and whenever i try and install a .xap file, the application wont launch after being installed on my phone.
the reason i am this desperate is because i want to back up all of my text messages on this phone. my mother passed away recently and it would means a great deal to me that i keep those conversations. if i am able to do this without installing mango, then that is fine by me.
my logic in installing mango is that all of the latest apps such as smsbackup require an unlocked mango device.
i have tried installing WP7 Root Tools so that smsbackup is able to operate on this lg device.
any input would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance

To backup all SMS and all messages in Messages tile, use SMSBackup. Then try to flash your phone with Telstra ROM, here is the guide.
Note #1: Your phone must be network unlocked first before flashing because you might not be able to enter unlock code once you flashed it to Telstra ROM. The only solution is re-flash to its original ROM then enter unlock code then flash it to Telstra ROM again. You can buy unlock in Ebay.com and price is as cheap as chip.
Note #2: The reason that I suggested Telstra ROM is because it is the only network that give the latest Mango update for LG Quantum, but no sign of Tango.

My phone currently updating to version 7008 - needs update to Zune too which is downloading first.
Was on 7004.
Will let you know what happens!
I can't see any changes...
Also no saving of the changes you make in Camera or so on...
Is this the update before March Update!?
Yeah, this is just an update to pave the way for future updates. You'll find nothing new here.

Is the Camera any better...? could be into the realms of imagination here but took a photo and it seemed clearer than previous efforts on standard settings. Phone also 'seems' a little zippier.
Not totally sure so guess things aren't that different.
Backup worked nicely though.
Mine is in the process of updating. The backup process takes a while.
I wonder if we can use someone elses backup to restore a phone? I only ask because I flashed my UK T-Mobile device with the unbranded Samsung one because it was said that it fixed Bluetooth problems. However, it has had no effect, and now I can't take my phone back to T-Mo because it's not running the original firmware. If I can get it back to UK spec, then I can take it back to a shop and swap it for a (hopefully) working one...
Done. It is only a preparatory update for the actual update containing copy and paste, improvements to Windows Phone Marketplace et.al. Ergo, it doesn't contain any new functionality and won't remove or hinder any installed jailbreak functionality.
Yup, more playing, definitely no changes I can find...camera taking a better photo just happened to be a picture in better light.
This update has bricked my Omnia 7.
When I connected my Omnia 7 to Zune today, I was notified of an update. Zune updated itself and quit. I restarted Zune and it informed me there was an update for my phone. I clicked update now and it got to step 6/10 rebooting phone. The phone evenually rebooted and Zune reported the following:
RESTORATION ERROR
An error prevented the restoration of your phone to its previous version. Your phone cant be used in its present condition and there are no restore points for it on this computer. Thephone might restart and return to normal if you disconnect it. For further assistance, contact your mobile operator.
ERROR CODE C101002E
Thanks Microsoft, that's a really helpful message. NOT.
I have manually updated to the latest Zune, rebooted my PC, rebooted my phone, and I get the same thing every time.
THIS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH MICROSOFT. My Omnia 7 is now a brick.

Sorry for that. I was afraid of this happening to me when the update stalled at the 7th step

Sorry about that. I was afraid of this happening to me, after the update stalled for an hour at the 7th step, so I disconnected. Luckily nothing happened to my device. But apparently several Omnia 7 are experiencing this.
Sort it out, MS.
First things first. I was updated Zune to the recent version, because I was curious it will resolve a problem with login user on one of my computers. One (Windows Vista) works fine, but another one, Windows 7 (both 32-bits versions) works fine with Zune + Market.

I've done the same. I have (branded) T-Mobile UK phone and decided update to unbranded one. I choose version I8700XENJK1 (but I tried another one before) - for me, one difference is language Dutch / Belgium if I remember correctly.
I've read this thread and I was wondering if my phone will find update... I had no information about this.
I return home, connect Omnia to computer and update process start immediately. I had no problem with update at all. Phone during update reboots twice (or more) and it looks stable. I haven't noticed any changes or improvements... maybe it's working a little bit faster, but maybe it's a auto-suggestion.

Help !!!!!
Have you got samsung tools installed?
I have tried twice to install the update. Both times I got stuck at 7 or of 100 with 100%.
The only thing I have done my phone is to unlock it with chevron.
Altough I did have it in flight mode at the time to prevent relocking.
Do you think that would have affected anything?
Still nothing showing up for me yet. Those who got the mini update does your 3 button combo into download mode now work if you had a phone that didnt let it happen before?

Three button combo now gives me the rather scary option to Format or Cancel. I thought Cancel would be the way to go....
Successful Updaters: Please post your Firmware revisions
For those who have managed to get the update installed without error, can you please post here your firmware revisions. We may be able to work out which models are affected by the issue.
There are rumours that this update only affects firmware versions JI9 and JJ4 while the JK1 firmware is unaffected.

Ok, If you are thinking about flashing one of Ansars ROMs then consider this first.
You may never be able to update your phone via Zune again..
Many users are experiencing Error 80180048 when attempting to update via zune from version 7008.
One thing they seem to have in common is that they have flashed one of Ansars ROM's
Here are some examples...

Plus a number of others on this site...
I have asked for assistance from ansar, and he provided another ROM, which caused even more problems and caused my device to not be detected by Zune or windows.
I know ansar works hard on these ROM's, but I think its important they you all know the risk and don't get stuck in the situation I am in, where I will now have to purchase a new handset.
Ansar: If you can at least acknowledge this issue and confirm that you are working on a fix that would be great, otherwise I believe this Thread is important as a warning to others.
Thanks

Agreed. Verizon Trophy users flashing 0.82.605.02_Radio_1.25.00 are left with unusable devices until an official ROM is able to be flashed.
Be warned.
I flashed my trophy a few times ..
1. RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.04_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar
2.to NoDo via zune
3. Zune (nodo) to mango
4. forgot to unlock it before
5. We are back at RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.10.401.04_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_by_ansar
6. NoDo via Zune
7. Zune (nodo) to mango (unlocked this time)
So i guess everything fine here
Ok, So the solution for me here was to Unbrand my device with a "Y" Cable and flash
RUU_Spark_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.00_Spark_5.54.09_RELEASE.
Once I was on this rom, I was able to update no problem through Zune to 7392.
Basically the ROMS by Ansar seem to be problematic and he isn't willing to provide any support. So, I suggest avoiding flashing them, unless you want problems in the future.
Hi guys.
You will all properly think here we go again with this noob question.
I have spent several nights figuring out how to jailbreak / dev unlock my omnia 7 without success.
It was an official t-mobile de version but i did the resistor trick to enter download mode and flashed the retail version i could find in one of the posts.
Now i am on version 7.0.7392 and i would like to unlock the device so i could registry edit my region so i can have a dutch phone when the mango update roles out. ( i also tried downgrading to nodo )
i have read much post but every time i get a error communicating message.
i have edited my host file, installed dev phone software installed certs, stopped running services on port 443, etc. etc.
but i couldn't connect to the phone with chevron.
Do i need to be on a special firmware version or something before this works?
is there someone out hear ho could help?
is there nobody how could help me?
hello,
i had the same issue as you a while back. if i remember correctly, chevron doesn't support nodo - i think it only supports 7008 or earlier. so, flash a pre-nodo rom, and remember to put your phone in aeroplane mode before you connect it to your pc to dev unlock it. also install samsungtools.xap and select prevent devie relock, as well as enable 3g toggle if you want - i find it very handy. reboot your phone after selecting prevent device relock in the samsung tools on your newly developer-unlocked phone.
Hi there thanks for the reply, i have already downgraded to version 7.0.7004
but still the same errors, cant communicate with phone. make sure you are running zune and the usb cable is connected.
do i need to run this from a windows xp machine?
i have done so many things now, installing dev tools. edit registry , airplane mode downgrading firmware, stop running process using port 443, tried 3 diferent machines already now. i cant figure it out.
Is there any solution for this problem .I am on 7008 and getting the same errors I need to install apps on this device
I managed to get get it work. but it is verry strange.
i do not know what it didt to make it work.
but you need to install windows developers tools ( start from a fresh install of zune and developers tools ) run chevron as administrator with the screen unlocked.
Also make sure you install the certificate on your phone.
Hi guys,
Yesterday Zune tells me there's an update for my Omnia 7, so I went on with the installation. After that one, there was another one, I installed that too. Now, the OS version says 7.10.8773.98. However, I can't deploy xap's anymore, and also some apps and games are uninstalled after launch, with a pop-up that says it was revoked by Microsoft. I have no idea what kind of unlock I had before, all I know is that I went to a website (that I found on this forum) from within the phone and just clicked a button there and boom, the phone was able to accept xap's.
Can someone help me re-unlock the phone? Thank you.

restore ur phone and follow this
http://windowsphonehacker.com/artic...date_be_forewarned_possible_solution-06-28-12
I changed my provider to Telstra Australia (from AT&T US) to force capture OEM updates, and was successful.
using this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381162
Now, my current OS Version is 7.10.8773.98. But I am encountering problems with this version.
My phone has become slow and is a bit lagging. The main problem is that, It has no connectivity problem, it turns to emergency calls only mode where there is less signal ; which didn't happen earlier.
Now, I want to revert back to the factory set version mode (apparently to which even AT&T has an update). Can you tell me how can I do it?
Or provide the thread links. I am not able to figure it out.
And I have reset my phone from setting and doing a hard reset.
The OS remains the same.
Flash a mango ROM from the carrier of your choice and you'll be back to 7720
Just Flash AT&T Mango ROM from the links of collection of all the stock ROM.
For how to flash use this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508150
I'm also on telstra rom , I have faced no such issues. No lag. No connection issue.
Thanks guys.
Pranjal : I think, then the problem would have been in some tweak, made a bad registry change.
Just do a hard reset. DO a full unlock. Install Windows Phone 7 hack tools from bazaar
using xap installer, install some registry editor from bazaar itself and make a back up of registry!
search windows phone bazaar and you'll get all the software required to do this
1)Windows Phone Device manager
2) Root manager
3) Registry editor.

That's exactly what I did, and its working fine now.
Still, I'd try updating to 7.8 again and see if the same problem exists, if it does, i'll flash telstra rom and maybe get the updates then.
You are welcome to telstra rom, but I have not got the 7.8 update and i'm on telstra rom
People are saying that they have Tango update using telstra...but nothing happened in my case.
I would urge you to flash telstra, who knows may be I did something wrong?
I have tried everything...Debranding, Rebrading nothing seems to work. And no one uploads the package. You give it a try and let me know.
