[Q] 7004>nodo>mango dev unlock...is there an easier way?

Hi Everyone,
I just received a brand new ATT Focus from US ( with the SIM unlocking code also ).
The phone is rev 1.3 and running 7392 atm.
Searched and searched on XDA, Google also...couldn't find a definitive answer at all...
What is the easiest/fastest way to get to dev unlocked Mango ?
So far, from what I've read is to revert to 7004-chevron unlock-update NoDo- keep the unlock-update mango ( of course some registry tweaks during the way).
Thanks,

That is the only way except ofc, paying the developer unlock.

OMFG...I'm stuck @ 7008 version. Zune tells me it's the latest update...LOL
this is driving me nuts...can do Silverlight but can't update the freaking phone

Try on another computer. That solved it for many.

Job done
haha, I wasn't seeing the trees because of the forest.
For anyone that might get interested in this, here are the steps that worked great for me ( didn't put any SIM, nor had the time adjusted):
All info I had maily came from this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143999
1. Install/flash 7004. Unlock via chevron. Use any registry editor to erase the values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > DeviceReg/PortalUrlInt, remove its value data and save it. Do the same with PortalUrlProd
2.Zune upgrade to 7008.
3.Zune upgrade to NODO.
STOP THE UPDATING WHEN DONE otherwise ZUNE will automatically proceed to the last two updates that leads to Mango.
4. Deploy http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=722646&d=1316284246
5. Deploy http://www.edisk.cz/en/download/38910/New_SMS_unlock.xap_41.01KB.html
6. Make root /provxml. Copy unlock.xml to it.
7. Let Zune do the rest.
In my case, everything worked flawless and updated to the last samsung update: fm 2103.11.8.1; radio: 2103.11.8.1 BL: 5.8.0.2

you forgot to mention that after updating to mango 7720, you need to run the diagnostics app to load the "unlocked" profile. Heres a link to the thread, but this thread i find is unclear;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16809179
What i did was the following AFTER the update to MANGO!
1. Enter the diagnostics terminal by entering "##634#" as a phone number
2. Typed "*#9908#" in the diag. mode, which brought me to the GPRS settings
3. Scrolled through the list of profiles, selected "unlock", clicked "save"
4. now your focus is ready for sideloaded apps!

Consider me new; can you connect steps 4 and 5 with step 6? 4/5 are each XAP files, what purpose does each serve?
Also (and maybe related), unlock.xml seems to be within one of the linked XAPs if you change it's extension to ZIP. How do I copy it to /provxml? This isn't self evident to me, but maybe it is once in Root Tools? I haven't been in Root Tools yet, but is there somewhere to do step 6 within this and if so, can you summarize where?
Sorry for the many questions, there's a lot of info that's hard to digest on the matter - this is pretty close to being the best (most understandable) step-by-step once the questions I posed are answered. Thanks.

When you get to NoDo-cancel search for updates as it will surely get you to Mango without unlock.
Install ''WP7 Root Tools" from the link-yes it is a xap.
Install " New SMS" xap from the link.
Open WP& root tools on phone. Make a provxml folder in root. Navigate to Applications/Install/D19A80F2-..../Install and copy unlock.xml.
Paste unlock.xml inside the previously created PROVXML folder.
Exit.
Go to home screen open Phone.
Go to dialer- dial ##634#. A new program should open.
Type *#9908# and a new dialog comes out.
Choose unlock from the list. Press save. Exit.
Done. Fertig. Listo. Finito.
Hope it's clearer this time. Good luck.

This steps should be posted in a new thread and stickied.. IMO, its really hard to find good collected guide about the focus...

3G not working after Unlock
Hey guys, have you noticed that 3G data doesnt work anymore after loading the unlock.xml profile under Mango? I tried reloading the other presets that were available in the GPRS diag. shell, but my 3G is still knocked out. Any thoughts? I am with Rogers in Canada

Look around in the WP7 hacking forum for mango update threads - I remember reading something specific to this very issue - "how to fix 3G after provxml unlock" or similar...

Just to confirm, you went through 7392, 7403, and 7720 all BEFORE selecting the unlock profile, right? LOL, I rolled back to Nodo to do this a few days ago, and Zune isn't giving me the option to update anymore, so when (if?) it finally does, I want to make sure I don't screw up and have to roll back again.
Not sure why it continues to tell me no updates are available when I have already gone through the update (using the official process) before, so I know it has been released to me. Perhaps it was only "available" to me briefly before they moved on to a different set of users?

do i have to use the unlock using dialpad BEFORE or AFTER mango update... im in 7392 (i think thats NoDo???) right now, and im confused

Try to push the update by disabling internet to pc while zune searches for updates. There are some useful posts about how to force NoDo/Mango updating, search XDA.

I tried forcing a million times with every possible timing and situation covered - no go. It either says "no update available", or "cannot check while your internet connection is down".
The irony is I was already pushed Mango officially (without having to force it), but I didn't use the steps to prevent relocking. So I restored back to my unlocked NoDo to do the above steps, and ... well, now I'm stuck.
What gives?!?

Dude... This worked for me.
I do have a small doubt. If I reset the phone after all this will it affect the unlock? I would like to reset the phone and login with my new id.
Please let me know dear...
Once again Thank you so much for the guidance...

After reset, the phone is deleted, thus your settings, certificates, files, pictures etc (everything on it) are gone.
So you will lose the developer unlock, but the OS after reset will be 7720 (latest you upgraded to). If you want to have unlock after a hard reset, you have to start again from 7004 (re-flash).

I recently bought a Samsung Focus on Ebay. I updated it to Mango via Zune. Can I still unlock using Chevron? Or would I have to downgrade and how?
Sorry, first time using WP7.

You need to start over from 7004 to be unlocked in Mango. You can only unlock in 7004/7008 unless you pay for developer unlock.

Question??
After choosing unlock from the list, pressed save, it says loading GPRS Profile for unlockprovision, should i leave it until something else happens or just hit close??

Hi everyone,
I'm going to buy a Samsung Focus from US, it's unlocked.
My question is if can upgrade this smartphone because it hasn't WP 7.5 Mango and I don't know if after that it will still working on my city (Lima-Peru).
And by the way, I need to know if this upgrade is an official upgrade from Windows. Thanks!

Yes, you can upgrade it, and yes, it should be working in Lima.
All updates for the phone come from Microsoft, through the local mobile carriers.

You will have to download zune and it should update on its own. If not you can trick it into thinking your using a different carrier . I had at&t and they didn't release a few different updates so I changed it to bell Canada and got all of them.

[Q] Internet sharing on Focus without unlock-interop

Hello,
I know that you can hack the Focus to get the Internet sharing but I saw that the Omnia will have an update to get it. Can we exepct the Focus to have the same kind of udpdate since they are very similar?
I have a Samsung Focus v1.2 when I got to the diag. menu. (HW VERSION: REV 1.2)

No, I wouldn't expect that. AT&T announced Internet Sharing only for Focus S/Flash, both Gen2 phones. And they've hunted down any Gen1 user that has Internet Sharing enabled on their WP7 phone. And I doubt they're going to turn 180*.
Interesting! I don't think I've heard of a HW 1.2 revision so far!!! We had 1.0, 1.3 and 1.4, at least that's what I know. Are you on Mango?

Yes, to be exact I got: HW VERSION: REV 1.2 and FTA HW VERSION: REV 1.3

As long as your device is unlocked in some way (Developer/Chevron/Other) you can get internet sharing on your Samsung phone.
1.) First install the WP Dev Tools and unlock your Samsung phone.
2.) Use the Application Deployment tool to send THIS to your phone. You do not need to run it and you can delete it after it has been deployed.
3.) Install the Diagnosis app by typing ##634#
4.) After the Diagnosis app starts type *#9908# and select 'System Tweaks' press 'Save' then 'Close' and restart your phone.
5.) Your phone now has internet sharing and as a bonus is interop unlocked!
PS: You need to have a recent firmware on your phone or your diagnosis app and drivers will not be new enough to work.
EDIT: I built the file depoyer app using the tools provided by Heathcliff74 so many thanks to him! Also ADC is built in as well so no need to worry about that and I also upped the max number of connections from 3 to 5 devices.

Wow! Thank you, it works perfectly

What can I do if my firmware appears to be out of date (I get Diagnosis rev. 0929)?

Uninstall it (press and hold) and run it again from Dialer, you should get the new one, if your OS is updated.

this method worked great. i got my 1.3 focus to finally have wireless tethering. welcome to the new age windows phone

I am new to Windows phone. I purchased a used Samsung Focus. It was locked to AT&T. OS-version 7.10.7720.68 , Firmware: 2103.11.8.1 , Hardware revision: 3.1.0.7, Radio Software: 2103.11.8.1 , Radio Hardware: 0.0.0.3, BOOTloader: 5.8.0.2 , CHIP SOC version: 0.36.2.0
So, I purchased sim-unlock code and inserted T-mobile sim-card. It works fine. But I read that AT&T has disabled many Mango features. I would like to enable them. For example: I'd like to enable "internet sharing" or making my phone a personal wifi hotspot. I followed the steps but didn't get it to work. Here is my response to each step:
1.) First install the WP Dev Tools and unlock your Samsung phone.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=606 your gonna need to do some research
Sim-Unlocked isnt the same thing as Dev-Unlocked , all the info you need is in the aforementioned forum , get reading!

I know this is an older thread, but I just wanted to thank you for the excellent write up. Up until today I haven't had a need to tether anything to my phone, but after grabbing an MS Surface, I suddenly found a need for it.
I followed your simple directions, and now I have internet sharing in my settings. Excellent!

Are you on AT&T? Unless you pay for the ability to share, you might want to keep the share to a minimum, or they will add the feature to your bill for you.

How to: Wireless (&USB) Tethering on LG Quantum

If you’re an owner of the LG Quantum/c900, you may have noticed that your carrier hasn’t enabled Internet Sharing on the device. This is a universal problem for all carriers with the exception of Telstra (Australia).
Internet sharing is a feature that Microsoft made available in Mango, to carriers but not consumers. The drivers are available to manufacturers, who can choose whether or not to include them in their Mango drivers and can also be removed by carriers before pushing them out to the public.
Now let’s go back to that bit about Telstra… It is true that this carrier selected to include the tethering drivers in their mango driver package. There was much speculation about changing registry values to get the update on a different carrier, but this would not work because of the model variations - the Telstra Quantum is labelled c900k, with the Bell variation being c900b, while AT&T and other international models are simply c900). There are actually no hardware differences between the two, so I’m unsure why they’re labelled differently.
Now, in order to get tethering on any Quantum, we need to flash the Telstra ROM. If you’re uncomfortable with flashing ROM’s, or have never done it before (it’s easy, trust me!), you may want to stop here, although I have included easy instructions for newbies. Please note that flashing a ROM will delete/erase all content on your phone. You can reinstall apps more easily by viewing your purchase history in the Zune software! Alternatively, you can read how to enable wired tethering (which doesn’t require flashing) at the bottom of this post.
**Note that this will break MMS! The only solution (at this time) is to carrier unlock your phone and run the LG Network Setup tool, available from the marketplace!**
First of all, you’ll need to download the package (which weighs in at 372 MB) after the break, which has:
A modified DLL that allows cross-model flashing.
The LG flashing/engineering tool.
The LG United Mobile driver.
The Telstra Mango ROM
Download this file (Deposit Files) and extract the contents to wherever you want.
Start your phone in “Emergency Download” mode; you can do this by holding the camera and volume down button while pressing the power button. A screen with an exclamation mark should appear, with the text “EmergencyDownload”.
On your PC, open the “LGDP2 V36 Flashing Tool” folder, followed by the “Setup” subfolder.
Launch the included executable and proceed through the installation process. When asked for the serial key, copy and paste it from “Serial Number.txt”. Finish the setup. You may get an error related to mqmailoa.dll, disregard it.
Copy the “DOWNLOAD” folder from the flashing tool folder and paste it in C:\, overwriting any file conflicts.
Install the LG Modem Driver found in “LG Modem Driver (MA 4.9.7) in your extracted directory.
Connect your phone to the computer via USB and allow the drivers to install.
Disconnect your phone now.
Navigate to C:\DOWNLOAD and launch “LGDP2_V36_UMTS.exe”
The tool will launch with a pop-up asking for Model Division, select “UMTS” and press OK.
You will be presented with another pop-up, asking for Port Selection. In “Easy Select” on the left hand side, select “All”.
Under “DLL Selection”, point the program to the DLL located in the directory you originally extracted everything to, under subfolder “DLL”
Under “Download Configuration”, point the program to the Telstra Mango ROM, which is also in the extracted directory, under ROM. Press OK. Ignore warnings about being “Unable to Find Monitor Port”.
Press “START” in the upper right hand corner. DO NOT CONNECT YOUR PHONE YET!
NOW reconnect your phone. The process will begin, allowing you to view detailed information related to the progress in whatever COM port window the phone is connected to. Be patient as the process may take some time. DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE!
When the progress reaches 100%, you may disconnect. Now quickly run through the setup of your phone. At this point in time, you can close the LG Flashing Tool.
You’ve now officially flashed the ROM.
There are still a few steps to get tethering! Currently, you are running Mango only. The latest LG/Telstra drivers haven’t been installed yet.
Navigate to settings on your phone and verify “Date and Time” are set to the correct values, and set “Region and Language Options” to the appropriate values for where you reside and tap “Accept Changes and Restart Phone” at the top.
Reconnect your phone to your computer and launch Zune. If required, go through a quick name setup and then allow the phone to check for updates. The update “LG Update for Windows Phone” will be installed. After this, restart your device and voila! You can now enable Internet Sharing from the Settings menu! Telstra has also released the 8107 update, so you don't have to use the CAB sender method to get the keyboard fix.
If you want to remove the Telstra boot screen (or even replace it with your own), you can root unlock your device using WP7 Root Tools 0.9 (requires interop unlock first: see here (follow the LG method, obviously) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1271963, and then use this tool http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/app_wph_tweaks-04-09-12
If you’re uncomfortable with ROM flashing, or don’t want to have to re-sync your content/apps, there is a less efficient but easier to apply method of tethering via USB. This hack is applied via the LG MFG app on the phone, but requires a reboot every time you apply it.
To do this, follow these instructions:
Install the LG Pilot Modem Driver from here! (Deposit Files).
Open the dialpad on your phone and dial “##634#”. The MFG app will install and open.
You’ll be presented with a password field. The password is “appmfg#*#”.
Open the “Engineer Menu” and then “Port Setting” followed by “USB Switching”.
Take note that the default value here is MS COMPOSITE” - if you don’t change this back later, you’ll be unable to sync your phone via USB with Zune.
Select “QC COMPOSITE” and press OK to reboot.
Connect your phone to your PC, the drivers will be automatically installed.
Open Device Manager, and find “LGE CDMA USB Modem” and open the Properties dialog. Under the advanced tab, add the additional string “AT+CGDCONT=1 “IP” “your carriers APN” (isp.cingular for AT&T, “pda.bell.ca” for Bell Canada, etc). Apply the setting.
Create a new connection, by opening start and typing “dial-up”, click “Setup a Dial-up Connection”
Select the “LGE USB Modem” as the source, and set the phone number as either *99***1# (America/International[?]) or *99# (Canada).
Turn off the Data connection on your phone prior to dialing!
Connect! There’s no username/password.
The next time you want to sync via USB, you need to change back to MS COMPOSITE in MFG.

oustanding post. thank you for all of this very useful information summarized in one place! We Quantum users seem to be very neglected unfortunately.
---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:01 AM ----------
a few questions for you...
Are there any negative consequences for at&t (US) subscriber to flashing this ROM?
I assume I will need to flash back to at&t ROM before the next update is pushed out?
Also, does the Marketplace recognize region and only offer certain apps, etc.?
Are there any performance differences?
Any other consequences?

Thank you for posting! I've been looking for wifi tethering on a C900B on Bell for awhile.

No problem

There should be no noticeable differences, if you use MMS, take a look at one of the other threads in the Quantum forum, it will explain how to get it working again. Also, if you chose not to rollback, you will stay on the Telstra update channel (which isn't a good one as they haven't released 7740 or 8107 yet) and will continue to receive updates from them as they are pushed. If you'd like, I can post a tutorial later for updating to 7740/8107 to fox the keyboard issue. In reality, unless your carrier is to release tethering drivers, there's no real reason to rollback unless you're experiencing other issues.
Thanks for the kind words,
Mitch.

What's wrong with the keyboard?

I mean the issue with the virtual keyboard disappearing while typing, which is fixed in 8107.

Any update for 8107?

THANK YOU!!!!
I tried to do this before but I had no idea how to do it...
so the flashing failed, obviously =P
I'll try again with your guide x)
I switched from a samsung galaxy s (i9000) to this phone 6 months ago, and wireless tethering was the only feature I really missed.
Thanks! =)

Also had trouble getting into Download Mode. Used this trick from this user:

Space + Power
And here is a faster mirror

For some reason... as a secondary effect to this...
The wireless status now displays an H instead of 3G...
Am I connected to my carrier's HSPA network now? ?

Don't know how google docs works for sharing, but here is another link in case you need one =)
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B1WDFOpp7DELNEw5eTBtSUFSSFdWcEc4dGZWTERGQQ

I can confirm this guide works flawlessly on at&t Quantum!! It is very simple and takes about 30 minutes to complete. If you want tethering on your non-Telstra Quantum, there is no reason not to just this and you won't regret it!
---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Actually I have to somewhat qualify my previous statement. The installation went perfectly, however there are some after effects. For instance, my data connection no longer works and as stated previously by others, MMS no longer works. Also, I noticed, as I suspected, the marketplace is region specific and some apps are not available with the Telstra ROM. An example would be the Xbox Extras apps. The marketplace thinks I am outside the US even though I am definitely in the US on at&t network. DAMN! This is alittle annoying and it makes me wonder what other apps I am not able to get access to with this ROM. OH well, I guess there are positives and negatives, but wifi tether is worth it in my opinion.
Just be aware, there are some minor consequences. I'm sure I can get most everything working again, but may take some tinkering.

look at the update thread in development and hacking.. Its something like oem updates and I believe 8107 is in the title as well. You can update any phone to 8107 there. Just make sure you follow all the instructions.

Perhaps the icon text in the registry for your hspa connection before was set set to 3G.. For whatever reason. There's nothing that should have happened by flashing this ROM. I'll look into the MMS issues, there should be an easy solution.

See this thread guys, it worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068893

Hey, I did this using a Bell LG Quantum and I ended up not being able to use my Cellular data, is there anything that I could be doing wrong that would cause this, I may do a re-Flash since I have reverted back to Bell's ROM

Anyone else having problems downloading this file.
I also tried the faster downloading mirror and it just times out.

I'm still looking for an MMS solution that will work for everyone. It appears Telstra removed some of the ADC settings in the MFG app, so I'm looking for potential workarounds in the registry.
As for the servers, they're working fine for me? If need be, I can re-uplod/email the files to you.

As far as I was able to see once you flash the Telstra firmware you'll get the update to 7.10.8107.79, so don't mind which version you flash
Lg configuration app fixed MMS and APN too.

Can you give me some more details on your specific configuration? What model of Quantum are you using/what is your carrier? What version of LG configuration app are you using?

Get Update from different carrier using SmartSwitch [Canadian]

IF YOU USED THIS METHOD BEFORE AND WANT THE NEW ROGERS/FIDO UPDATE THEN LOOK AT POST
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68314268&postcount=72
This guide is for Canadian S6 edge owners who are with Rogers or Fido since the been waiting for Marshmallow update forever. However, This should work for for others as long as the TWO CARRIERS share the exact phone model, which is the case for all s6 in canadian market.
DO it on your own responsibility
Doing this will not delete your data or trigger knox ... However, its wise to backup with SmartSwitch before attempting so.
1- I assume that you running windows and have latest version of samsung smart switch installed (I tried it on Windows 10)
2- install Fiddler (Its used to capture HTTP traffic and we will use it to be man-in-the-middle between Smartswitch and Samsung servers)
https://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler
3- Install FiddlerScript Editor (we will use to write and edit script rules)
http://www.telerik.com/download/fiddler/fiddlerscript-editor
4- Open Fiddler go to Rules --> customize rules
delete everything and past whats in the txt file in the attachment
5 - In this we are interested in only two functionsin that script
the contact from SMARTSwitch to the Sever: Here instead my phone identify itself as Fido phone "FMC" to the server it pretend its Kodoo phone "KDO"
Code:
static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {
if (oSession.uriContains("NF_DownloadBinaryInform")){
oSession.utilReplaceInRequest("FMC", "KDO");
}
}
the contact from the server to SMARTSwitch: Here i get replay from the server for Kodoo phone "KDO" but i pass it to SmartSwitch as Fido phone "FMC"
Code:
static function OnBeforeResponse(oSession: Session) {
if (oSession.uriContains("NF_Download")){
oSession.utilReplaceInResponse("KDO","FMC");
}
}
6- Now safe and restart Fiddler
- Also when you open Fiddler go to File -> Capture traffic
make sure its checked
- Also make sure that fiddler can access HTTPS traffic by going to Tools--> Fiddler options --> HTTPS tab
make sure that 'capture HTTPS connect" and "decrypt https traffic" are both checked
7- Another thing worth mentioning, in Smart Switch > More > Preferences > Software update you have to deactivate Latest software Pre-Download
if you keep that option checked, the download will start in background before you click the update button, and procedure will end in error too;
8- Start SmartSwitch and plug your phone.
9- Click on the Update button
10- after Smart switch is offering the update download, accept the terms of update, then immediately when download start preperation, fidller must be closed. it is very crucial that Fiddler be turned off at just the right time otherwise you will get an error ;
Note: those are the codes for Canadian Carriers:
- Fido: FMC
- Koodo : KDO
-Rogers: RWC
-Bell: BMC
- Wind: GLW
-Telus: TLS
- Virgin: VMC
-Sasktel: BWA
-EastLink: ESK
- Vidéotron: VTR
This page will show you which carrier has the latest update
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G925W8/
For now Kodoo has the latest update which support wifi calling

thank you; greatly appreciated;
just installed the Telus version of 6.0.1, July 1 security patch; it worked very fine.
only one mention you may add maybe:
after Smart switch is offering the update download, accept the terms of update, then immediately after the download start, fidller must be closed;
else the download will end with error at about 70%
the rest is flawless, absolutely no problem with the update, first boot will take little more time, even more if lot of apps are installed, because all apps are optimized at first boot.

Happy it helped, just updated the post.
Heads up Kodoo has the latest update which support wifi calling and for some reason I see big improvement on my battery especially is wifi calling enabled and you you are in wifi coverage

Do I just copy/paste that code as is if I'm with Rogers or do I need to change it to RWC?

Yes after u copy and past whats in the attachment, you need to change both FMC to RWC since you are with rogers

It's not working for me, gives me the button to update it but when I do it it says preparing the software update components but then I get a pop-up that says "ErrorCode=5,ErrorMessage=The operation completed successfully." and that's it

Hello,
Will this work for someone who bought a locked Rogers Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge and is using it unlocked now on Bell network? What would I change the scripts to? It's not showing any update in Smartswitch for me, currently on 5.1.1.

As I said in the post when start preparing the update and before start downloading you need to close Fiddler otherwise you will get the error

I have everything set up correctly and I can see the Update button, I hit it, goes to preparing and I close Fiddler it then says The most current update is already installed on connected device. I'm on SM-G925W8, Android 5.1.1.
Should I try changing the RWC to BMC as Im currently on Bell network even though it was a locked Rogers phone?
EDIT: Nevermind sorry, it looks like I didn't wait long enough before closing Fiddler, downloading now.

Will this work for Galaxy S6 (not Edge) as well?

I didn't try it on normal S6, but I don't see any reason why it won't work since the only thing we change is the carrier code and nothing else. So it should work

Okay that worked, just needed to wait for the windows installation prompt then close Fiddler right away before the download starts. Thanks!

Finally got it to work on the Galaxy S6 (not Edge) Rogers

Ok, I think I got it to work finally. I tried KDO, but ended up using TLS in the end. I tried several times and got the previously mentioned errors. I also kept getting "this device is up to date" but I kept trying and it seems that it is very crucial that Fiddler be turned off at just the right time. I finally got it to work by turning off Fiddler right after the two notices from Smart Switch and immediately following that, the update download started.
It is downloading now and I will update this post when the upgrade is successful.
Thanks for the tip!
:highfive:

Looking forward to hear your feedback, so maybe I can post the thread in S6 Forum because I know everyone sick waiting for rogers and fido to release the update. I have been using this method since last year to get update as soon as any carrier push it. In theory it should work for all Samsung phones as long as the phone model is the same between the two carrier.

Android is upgrading...

It is working just fine. The upgrade was successful and everything works as far as I can tell so far.

Confirmed this worked great on my Rogers phone unlocked to Bell network. Thank you very much!

Guys another thing worth mentioning, in Smart Switch > More > Preferences > Software update you have to deactivate Latest software Pre-Download
if you keep that option checked, the download will start in background before you click the update button, and procedure will end in error too;
the download has to start at your click on update button, to be able to close Fiddler at that point

Thanks for this, thats true. if you don't mind I'll add your post to the thread

So I am trying this out on my s6 tethered to fido
I can't get past the copy and pasting the code part in fiddler. I deleted everything and then copied and pasted as instructed but Fiddler is giving me an error once I try to save it. I can't copy and paste it but Ill type it out here for you....
Fiddler Script error
------------------------------Source---------------------------
{start-of-file}
Error LINE --> static function onbeforerequest(o Session:Session) {
if
(oSession.uricontains("NF_DownloadBinaryInform")){
--------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the what the text looks like once I paste it in....
static function OnBeforeRequest(oSession: Session) {
if (oSession.uriContains("NF_DownloadBinaryInform")){
oSession.utilReplaceInRequest("FMC", "KDO");
}
}
static function OnBeforeResponse(oSession: Session) {
if (oSession.uriContains("NF_Download")){
oSession.utilReplaceInResponse("KDO","FMC");
}
}
am I doing something wrong?
