official tango push out--anyone got it yet? - Venue Pro General

dell pushed out the update for unlocked DVP. has any tmo and att branded phone users got the update officially yet?
edit: DVP only.

If dell really did push out tango for the VP, could anyone updating please download and run fidder while doing so to capture the URLs?
Assuming there's new firmware bundles or any new cabs

I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for these updates to roll out on AT&T and T-Mobile. People had torches and pitchforks waiting for the official Mango updates to roll out. Now, with Tango, an update which is primarily meant to limit features on brand new low-end handsets sold outside the U.S., the demand is much lower, and it will be a low priority for the carriers.
I used the cabsender method for all three post-7720 updates, and it worked fine. Knowing that the WP7.8 update cabs will be posted here long before the U.S. carriers' rollout informed my decision to keep installing via cabsender.

Looks like the firmware version is the same for unbranded DVPs after Tango update and before the update... don't think there's a fw update unfortunately. Wouldn't mind knowing the URLs to confirm cabs are the ones we already know though
http://www.wpcentral.com/dell-shocks-world-again-tango-update-pushed-out-venue-pro

I'm mainly interested in the fw bundle cabs as we only have the TMO and ATT ones, the unbranded ones noone's bothered finding the urls for and noone is willing to downgrade and reupdate to find them.
Unfortunately it's not even 8779, the urls for 8773 are already known now
Dell + android definitely spoiled us as we can reasonably easily get the equivilent of FFUs for the majority of the roms (as that's how dell normally hands out android updates, as full flashes)

Hi All,
Just wanted to report that even though i did not get the Tango update pushed to my unlocked and unbranded Venue Pro, I was able to successfully use the force update method through Zune.
I updated to 8112 first, and then (using the force update again) to 8773.

I didn't have to force an update on my unlocked DVP (was notified on the phone last night) though I did have to run update twice. First time it updated to 8112 and after the phone rebooted I received another update notice and updated to 8773

got an official tango update 2 weeks or more ago on my unlocked dell venue pro. im in the UK on the o2 network (the network does not matter as i bought it sim free unlocked from the dell website). not sure why other people with unlocked phones are not getting the update?

I am in USA on ATT, may be this is the reason why i did not get the update pushed to my phone... i bought my dvp from dell too...

The network itself doesnt matter, but what carrier firmware bundle you have installed.
AFAIK the only variations are:
EU Unlocked
US Unlocked
TmoUSA
At&t
If someone had an unupdated EU or US unlocked device and got us the Unlocked firmware bundles, you could turn the TMO one into an unlocked one.
(By unlocked it has nothing to do with sim locking, it's simply the name of #1 and #2, they're generic bundles not customized for any carrier)

I have EU unlocked device and recieve official update 8773 a one week ago. Nothing visible changes thought... Waiting for 7.8! )

Same here in Portugal.
Let's see what the 7.8 upgrade will bring!

My wife's DVP is on T-Mobile USA. Got a notification this morning (7/5/2012) that an update was available. It updated twice and after that it appeared to be on 7.10.8773.98

Wait, what? Your post is for August but you mentioned a July date...
If T-Mobile is finally rolling out Tango for locked DVPs, that would be awesome.

[Q] Can't Update My Samsung Focus

Hey,
So I bought a new Samsung Focus device on Ebay(my carrier is not AT&T) and I can't do any update to the phone.
When I click the Settings>About>More all i can see is that the OS version is 7.0.7004.0 and I the cell phone says that it's up to date.
Also when i connect it to Zune, it says that the phone is already up to date.
If anyone could give me a full guide of how to update my phone..
P.S: My phone is Unlocked.
Any help will be appreciated too .
Thank you!
All AT&T branded WP7 devices are on 7004 now.
Wait for AT&T, or debrand ur phone.
What do you mean by "debrand" the phone? And I saw some samsung focus devices with NoDo and the first patch on Youtube.
Can you please also explain how will AT&T send the update? will it be through Zune? (My carrier is not AT&T)
Updates come from Microsoft to your Zune software. Since your phone is AT&T branded, AT&T is currently blocking all its WP7 phones from receiving updates until it finishes its testing. Debranding requires you to jail break your phone and remove the carrier branding entries in the registry so that your updates are no longer held back by AT&T.
Updates are not coming from AT&T but AT&T can block your phone for receiving updates.
You're looking at end of April time frame for AT&T phones to start receiving current NoDo update.

[Q] Focus re-locked to AT&T after NoDo Update

I unlocked my Focus back in December through NCKZone. Installed the Feb and March updates without a hitch. Now my phone is locked again to AT&T, when I try enterning the unlock code I got from NCKZone I get an error message that says SIM Error. Also, if I try to access the SIM through Phone Settings, it says the SIM is locked. I never had a lock on the SIM card, so I tried the default of 1111 to no avail. Only way to have access to the SIM is after a soft reset. Weird thing is phone is now locked to AT&T, and whenever I try the unlock code from NCKZone, I get a SIM error and it locks the SIM....anyone else experience this? Yesterday I called AT&T, they were useless, they also transferred me to Samsung and all they could suggest is a hard reset.......
I called AT&T this morning, this time the person said the subsidy unlock code changed and they can't give it to me until May 9th, sounds fishy to me. Any one else have this problem?
May 9 is about right date from all the responses from AT&T so far. Officially, AT&T won't give you the unlock code until 10-month after the release of exclusive phones (seems all new phones are exclusive phones now).
But this is the first time that I saw unlock code changes after a firmware update.
did you install the official at&t Nodo? or did you do it with the VPN trick and only install the Samsung specific update?

Official AT&T Nodo update.

Me too, hard to believe the subsidy unlock codes would change due to a firmware update, I've never heard of that before. It would be great if someone could confirm if they are experiencing the same thing with the official update and had their phone subsidy unlocked prior to Nodo.
I 'unbranded' my phone before applying the update, and am still carrier unlocked.
Unlocked my phone months ago using code from my longtime friend at Samsung. Phone was just updated, turned on and off a few times including battery removal and still is unlocked. Please do not ask me to get codes for your phone, my friend does me favors and do not want to abuse that.
Hi.
Unlocked one Samsung Focus today with the official NoDo update from ATT, and still unlocked and working fine in Costa Rica, I can still make calls, text sms, mobile internet, etc.
I ended up doing a hard reset and now it is fine, go figure. I now see ATT and AT&T using the Samsung Network Profile tool. Doing this from Connecticut.
So the Samsung dude was right after all. Lol

Lollipop for s5 in UK.

How come I have not received an update ota yet. I am unlocked but with ee.
a look on samfirmware.com shows that EE haven't released their firmware yet, I've seen vodafone, O2 and unbranded so far.

Id read a few threads about the lollipop update before jumping in, I wish I'd waited now
Are there problems with it then. If the phone is unlocked can I use unbranded
Of course you can use the unbranded rom on a unlocked phone.
In fact you can use the unbranded rom on a locked phone.
Got it yesterday . It's nice
Had it for a few days and I wish I could write some positive words but unfortunately that's not the case. Lag and battery drain have been my two main issues. I wish I had waited

[Q] UNLOCKED AT&T LG G2, Can't get latest update?

Hi, I've got an unlocked LG G2, originally AT&t (D800 model), now being used with T-Mobile.
I've got a bit of an issue; I can't update the phone.
I had ordered it from Amazon (New), and it came with stock Android 4.4.2, but it is not the latest version, which has many new features, including Knock Code.
Now, I know for a fact that an OTA update won't work, seeing as it's not connected to AT&T's network, but I had assumed i could update it from my PC.
I was wrong; LG PC Suite says that it has the latest version, and that there is no update available.
The exact software version is included in the screenshot below:
Well, I went to the forum of AT&T's community to ask about Lollipop and they said it didn't came out yet... Anyways, they told me the only way is updating OTA... So I think you'll need to ask a friend to lend you his/her AT&T sim card.

NEW V35 [7/2020] Stuck on OREO?

Just bought this phone about a week ago, it is an Unlocked AT&T Model. It tells me basically that it does not need a OS Update - that it has the Latest 8.0. I am giving up on LG Support already!
Using their APK to update via USB told me that it cannot even check the Version of the OS, so definitely NO Update for this SUCKER!
Can anyone here PLEASE help me find a way to UPDATE this nice Smart Phone?
THANKS!

This is what LG's response is to me about getting my AT&T Unlocked V35 Updated fm A. 8.0:
Hi Michael, we appreciate your time in getting back to us. I will be happy to assist you today.
In response to your inquiry, for carrier unlocked phones, the only way to get it updated is, you need to have a service again with the original service provider for them to send or push the Software update to your phone. While LG has no control with the software updates for carrier unlock phones, compared to manufacture unlock phones it automatically receives the software updates that was released OTA (Over the Air).
I hope I have provided all the information and wish it has been helpful in addressing your query. It has been a pleasure to help you out to the best of my knowledge and my skills.
Should you have any other questions, please feel free and don't hesitate to contact us again via Email, Live Chat, or Phone by calling 1-800-793-8896. As this email is used for outgoing mail only, you may send file attachments, replies, any information and further inquiries over to the email section of support https://www.lg.com/us/support/email-appointment and we will do our best to assist you without you having to repeat the details of your previous message.
Thank you for choosing LG Electronics!
Sincerely,
Johannes
I have to leave T-Mobile [cheaper/better] and go to AT&T - RATS!

I heard from LG Support and they said that since it is an AT&T Unlocked Phone and not unlocked by them - I have to sign up with AT&T and noot my T-Mobile too get Updated....RATS....I just left
AT&T for better and cheaper service from T-Mobile and now I have to go back....guess I will and if/when they upgrade this NICE phone I will leave dem again!:laugh:
Or as I suggested, you simply cross flash to North American Open Market (NAO) firmware via Dev Patched LGUP.
You can also try temporarily putting in an AT&T SIM card (not even activated) and that can trigger AT&T update, if left for a few hours.
But people in other countries just cross flash to NAO as they don't need AT&T firmware whatsoever.

Yes, people report AT&T SIM card will do the trick. Either prepaid or postpaid, they are both the same. Supposedly they don't have to be activated -- as long as you have AT&T firmware on your phone.
Some say a Red Pocket (AT&T MVNO) SIM card will, also. While Cricket (owned by AT&T) SIM card will not.

Called Best Buy to see IF I could pay someone there to Flash my V35, like you recommend, but they are not allowed to do things like that. Turning to Craig's List now.
Hey buddy, it's easy to do yourself. Just follow this comment and the linked guide. Process is the same. Super simple and straightforward. Let me know if you have any questions.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LgV35/comments/f2yag4/just_got_one_should_i_modify_it/fhg34cy
Latest firmware for the V35 now (AT&T does have an early version of the Android 10 update, but kdz not released. We have to wait for a ULM kdz to be released to flash the 10 and update. Until then we're on Android 9 still) is the 04/2020 update. Sort by date on lg-firmwares.com, for device choose LMV350ULM, you want the ULM as its the unlocked carrier free version of the V35, and crossflashing the AT&T version is completely safe (I'm using an AT&T V35 in Canada on Koodo with the ULM software). In the software list choose GFI or USA (I'd recommend the USA version, unless you're on google fi).

Buy one of these AT&T SIM cards. Less than $3 with free shipping.
Leave it in overnight, see if the OTA update shows up.
Keep your T-Mobile. This is just to trigger the update.

THANKS for Great Suggestion, I looked over the LINKS etc. and bookmarked but at my age etc., I am alot more TECH SAVY than probably most 81 yr olds BUT I just don't feel confident enough trying to follow all of those instructions, wish I did....know it appears SIMPLE, but I just paid for this NICE Phone and would HATE to BRICK it!
BTW...just abit ago I got notice you sent me a PM but when I tried to open it [SORRY] I guess my Blocker blocked it and sent it into
CyberSpace or something....can't seem to find it now. I just followed ChazzMatt's TIP - and ordered a $2.99 ATT Sim Card to put into my LG V35 to hopefully trigger aN UPDATE. Laters, Michael
Just follow this video for upgrading your V35 to latest firmware
so, (directed toward Chazzmatt) I'm just needing a recommendation on which one to do (or wait for). Ive got the ATT unlocked model on MetrobyTMobile. (LM-V350AWM) I first updated it via modified LGUP to V350ULM20d (V350ULM20d_00_NAO_US_OP_0612), then to V350ULM20f (V350ULM20f_00_NAO_US_OP_0218). ((it still shows as V350AWM in the sys info, but all bloatware is gone))
Now, a while back I went into an ATT store and got them to sell me an un-activated sim card, and tried to update that way and failed (not knowing you had to wait a couple hours or overnight). My question is, would the simcard ota update work for me, and if so, would it be the full blown bloated att version of 10.
Or, should I just keep patiently waiting for the NAO KDZ (V350ULM30?) like you've been screaming for us to do since the very beginning! lol
(apologies for the gratuitous use of parentheses)
*Update - They're now saying we will be getting LG's new Velvet UI, should I wait even longer for that to be released???

The AT&T SIM card trick only works if you still have AT&T firmware installed.
If you cross flashed to another V35 firmware you need to wait for that KDZ to be released. It's coming. LG is just slow. Same deal last year with Pie.

ah, thanks for clearing that up! I'm guessing we might have to wait even longer now that they've announced we'll be getting Velvet UI and need time to add that to the KDZ, or is the UI update something that will come later on?
