First post after such a long time on this site but I thought it would be worth posting this. The NoDo update for the HTC HD7 from O2 is now available. Plugged into Zune this evening and there it was... I'm still in the process of updating as I type this but its finally here!!!
I can confirm this... yippee
Thank god, its like I have been waiting ages and like we are the last to get it
I used Chevron to update it yesterday - but it still has given me an update notification just now when I plugged into Zune - so must be some HD7 specific updates in it too! Battery is too dead to do it now though so it's on charge!
Confirmed; updating now. Good to know you can still get the HTC Specific updates even if you used Chevron. That's what put me off using it, but I'll use it in future!

Same here. After update it still says the same build as before (7390). Not sure, if the firmware, radio or bootloader is the same, i did not noted the previous version number...
EDITED: It looks, that Chevron update was only for OS, but the update from O2 also included HTC stuff... I just checked the version numbers from the ansars new O2 DE nodo ROM files and it seems the same...
Indeed. I previously had on:
RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.68.206.03_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a _22.36.50.15
Version is now 1.69.206.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Firmware is newer but Radio version is less. But from what I gather from XDA, lower radio version does not mean newer? Different versions work better in different parts of the world?
I used Chevron Updater, but got the HTC Update this morning, and it has the gradient but that is described here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12690055#post12690055
Hopefully HTC will fix it soon
Just got the NoDo update today via Zune, Unlocked HTC HD7 (O2 UK), even though I didn't receive an update notification on my phone.
At first the intended update showed an error!!!
I had to turn on the System Event Notification Service in Windows 7, it was disabled, got advice from here. (scroll down to last question on the page)
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...8-update/e7359219-e1d1-4d7e-81a3-149a4d78525b
I ended up going to EU unbranded just to make sure I get all the updates right away from now on. Glad 02 finally released it

Hi
I flashed NODO using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988672
But wasn't Happy with the key board being USA and I dont really Use Compy/paste
so decided to go back to O2 Rom and flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957031 by schubert
The file got kicked off by Norton and I had to recover it from Quarantine.
Anyways the point I would Like to make is:
even though I have pre NODO again now . NOT once have my apps crashed like before or I had the need to reboot my phone like before and phones feels fast and ringtones sounds improved as it was when in NODO.
Has anyone tried going from NODO to pre NODO ?
would like to know your comments ( only people have unoffcial NODO update and gone back might be able to comment I guess)
I am so happy that I dont really care when the official NODO is out now
Not sure how buggy it is, but it is much older than the one you installed.
[ROM]RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.19.206.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_2 2.30.50.09_Signed
[ROM]RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.68.206.03_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a _22.36.50.15_Signed
Quite a big difference in versions, so I'd imagine the firmware is less buggy. The operating system is the same version (7004 or 7008, if you updated via Zune) but obviously the OS communicated to the marketplace via the Radio. So perhaps the updated radio improves things.
New radio driver's usually giver better battery life, too.
EDIT: I too unbranded to the HTC_Europe firmware, but like you, the lack of a UK Keyboard irritated me, but no where near as much as the US voice that you get when doing voice searching.
I've been looking into whether or not i can transfer over the keyboard and voice files to the HTC_Europe ROM. I've a developer account with MS, so I can freely prowl the registry and file system and I have found the registry files pertaining to the UK voice (Microsoft Hazel, it's called) and what I believe to be the speech file itself. No luck on the Keyboard, however.
Not that the O2 firmware annoys me much. In fact, with a registry tweak to remove Yahoo Search in IE and removing mologo.bmp in the Windows folder you can't tell it's an operator ROM. It would just be nice to get updates as soon as they're released
Well from my experience my HD7 was shipped with ROM:RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.19.206.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_2 2.30.50.09_Signed This ROM was seriously buggy, had many issues i.e. frequent marketplace crash, random reboot etc...!!
So I decided to flash a stock HTC ROM: RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.09. 21_22.33b.50.10_Signed
which already had NoDo OS 7389, this ROM was much better more stable however like you guys, the lack of a UK Keyboard irritated me!
Therefore I reverted to back to a newer O2 ROM: RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.68.206.03_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a _22.36.50.15_Signed which I was pleased to say was very stable and fast, then all I did was forced NoDo OS 7390 update via zune keep bare in mind prior to doing that I chevron unlocked it so that it stays unlocked even after the update!
I personally Can't seem to force the update via Zune... on my HTC HD7 on O2 UK, so I have kinda given up as I aint too keen on the update much as my Phone is quiet stable now
Yeah and I do have the newer radio as well ...
And I feel if MS keeps coming with the updates WP7 will rock..
cause from nokia symbian I became an Android Fan , but now am leaning more towards WP7
Sorry, i am a bit new to wp7 stuff,
-How to flash the rom with the new radio ?
-Should i make any backup, i keep my hd7 on sync with Zune, it will restore everything after i flash the new rom, right ?
right now i am on radio 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U
Firmware : 2250.09.11901.206
thanks in advance,
EDIT: ok, done a little search, flashed the rom and now updating it.

I have heard about the tool that Microsoft has just pulled out to fix the Walshed Device. You can search it on Bing on Google. Good Luck.
PS: I don't use Walsh's menthod to update so i am not worry about it. If you don't want to use the Microsoft Tools, just simply Re-flash your HD7 with Ansar 7004 ROM, Unlock and then get the Official Update through Zune.
Microsoft said that the Walshed Device will not get the future updates, and i think they are kinda serious about it.
Is there any possibility for downgrading OS 7392 to 7004 or 7008 so i can chevron unlock it and then update it on 7392 again? I found many topic's about that but not exact answer on it.

if you update your device maybe you have your back up on your computer.
by using last back up you can downgrade your device.if there isnt any back up on your competer,you should change your device rom!!
Yes it can be done i did it on mine about 2 months back
Here's what I did:
> Downloaded and Flashed RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.57.728.02_Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U_Signed_by_ansar
I think I got an error at the end of Flashing (which was supposed to happen)
> Then Downloaded and Flashed RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.16.401.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09_Signed_SCHUBERT_RELEASE
This effectively put me back to a Pre-Nodo ROM (can't remember if it was 7004 or 7008). I then Chevron Unlocked it, and installed the ProvXML that prevents it from Re-locking. This allowed me to update to Nodo via Zune and my device remains unlocked allowing me to use Windows Phone Device Manager and such. I must confess though my phone seems to crash and bomb out considerably more than it used to before doing the above (it amlost never crashed out previously.) This might just be me being Paranoid though....
Audio i manage to downgrade to 7004 by ansar but i am not getting any nodo form zune was there any trick to getting zune updates

No nothing in between that's pretty much all i did and Zune notified me of the update straight away. Mine was in UK so don't know if that has anything to do with it? :S
well i tried the force update method as well and no luck seems like i am stuck with 7004
I done everything perfectly,but when i come to the part for editing registry i stuck on 4. spot in this manual http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907169
Can someone explane me better this part what i really need to do?
i have a problem i cant install the rom even if i first installed the one signed by ansar and then the Schubert Release on after that, i get an errorcode 294 which means its the wrong rom, what am i doing wrong?
Ok,
So all of us HD7s owners know that the Mango update for our device has not been released via Zune yet. Or so we thought. I discovered something yesterday completely by accident.
I had my device on the RTM 7720 up until last weekend. I have other phones and decided to restore my HD7s to stock (i.e. NoDo) and wait for the update. Well, I was missing my WP7 Mango so I tried to reinstall the RTM using the procedure found here on XDA. So, I start doing the following steps:
1) I uninstalled my current version of Zune.
2) I installed the version of Zune that comes with the download for the RTM method.
3) I install the updatewp tool from the Zune version in the last step.
4) I have a dev account and I unlocked my HD7s with the appropriate tool.
5) I perform the first step of the RTM method, which is to run the provision tool included in the download.
6) Start Zune and check for an update. This is where it gets good.
So, everything is moving along at this stage. I see Zune giving me the 7403 update. Zune then proceeds to start updating my phone. After the first update, Zune updates itself. It then begins installing the beta cleanup update. I think to myself, that is strange. The next thing I see is Zune installing 7720 Final version. It never even updated the device to 7712. It went from 7390 to 7403 to beta cleanup to 7720 Final. From what I can tell, I have the final release for the HD7s. I do not have a stock device to compare version numbers though.
I should also point out that I was now able to install the Connected Media app. I was not able to do this with the RTM 7720 version. I am getting an error when trying to use it though, saying "Sorry, your phone is not supported by this application." All other Mango apps I have tried are working though.
Just thought I would share this little tid bit for those of us that are impatient.

Very nice - I was wondering about that. Now if only it can be done w/out dev unlocking...
I imagine this procedure might work with a chevron unlock.

I faxed AT&T a copy of my receipt and my IMEI number and they sent me an unlock code. My phone updated to mango once it was carrier unlocked

And everything worked fine? No issues with it being an HD7s vs. an HD7? So close to the actual update now... I did try flashing to the Mango beta, but it got messed up along the way and I just re-flashed to my stock backup after a Sunday morning of messing around with the thing.

I think when you say "unlock" in this sense, you mean carrier unlock. From my understanding, the carrier can unlock the hd7s so you can use it on other carriers using sim cards (ex t-mobile in the us, 3 or china mobile in asia). I dont think that will dev-unlock, though. Let me know if that's not the case, because I will definitely be all over it!
Well, we'll see if Mango comes out today for the HD7s, as WPCentral is reporting here: http://www.wpcentral.com/ATT-hd7s-mango-update-starting-today-rumor
HI,
after 2 months of trying..i still cant force the mango update and are yet to recieve any notification through zune..
ive tried absolutely everything but to no avail..
please help
htc hd7 branded to o2uk but unlocked to orangeuk
Why are you trying to force it?
Had you installed a different Rom ?
I have an O2 Uk unlocked and using giffgaff and mine updated to Mango long ago although I had installed NODO by the quick method before.
i a using an unloched SEA set from singapore, forced NODO and loaded the SEA RTM rom found on XDA... and i got 2 updates from HTC after that, inernet sharing is one of them...
you dont have to force, just load the offical rom for your part of the world will do...
Try to disconnect from Wi-Fi after you clicked onto "search for update" in Zune. I did that w/ my Mac and Windows Phone Connector, works like a charm!
