[Q] Chevron7 NoDo update really a problem?

Hey all, running a T-Mobile HD7 after running the Chevron7 NoDO update with no problems.
I am reading off of Gizmodo today that possibly the Chevron7 update permanently breaks for any further updates?
I have been searching for the forums for any info or confirmation, but also in comments on the Giz article, says XDA has already posted a fix? Really?
Crap!
Anyone have any confirmation or information on this?

Crap.. confirmed on teh Chris Walsh blog. He confirms that his update WILL break your phone for future updates and is working to find a fix. *Sigh*

Yeah this is a bummer.
But I'm pretty confident that by the time the next major update makes an appearance (Mango in 6 months or so) there will be a workaround available for those of us that used the Chevron updater for Nodo to allow an upgrade to Mango. Walshie's on it!

I think that's may true,
because I use ROM from O2DE and the first time with Chevron method, I got HTC update after NoDo.
and second time I re-flash again with the same ROM and upgrade to NoDo by Zune update, I can't get the HTC update until now..
I think.. maybe the update URL for specific phone was been change after use the Chevron Updater.

I've cut MS a lot of slack until now... If this is the case I'll just vote with my feet and switch to Android like i'm sure many others would...
I expect a bit of common sense from the largest software house on the planet... Release the update to carriers... Give them time to test...Set a global release date.... Jeez..
I don't believe this can't be fixed and it'll be a ploy for MS to say: 'hey we fixed this for our community, arn't we nice'... If not I guess the XDA community will work their magic as usual ;-)

Well after i used it to update to NoDo i then got the HTC firmware update about a day later. Which seems to imply it doesnt leave the phone totally unservicable.

The impression I got was past NoDo they are saying it will fail, I also got the O2 uk HTC one through Zune a day later..

I think the guy is getting paid by MS to agree with them. They don't want users circumventing the carriers.

With Chevron you got the HTC update after NoDO because it was unbundled from the Official NoDo update. Without Chevron, you did not see it as a separate update because is was properly bundled with the official NoDo update. You are missing nothing now, you have the HTC update.

if the update is included, why is it, that there is no banding and the sound is much quieter than with the update separated???

I am reading a guy in a blog saying, "People have gotten a second update after going to NoDo through ChevUp (7389 to 7390)". I did not use Chevron and I got one NoDo update and my OS version is 7.07390.0. What is your version number and what was your experience?

Mango Update delivering NOW!

I´m installing Mango right now in Germany. Samsung Omnia 7 unbranded (de-branded^^). Used the old Wi-Fi-off trick to get the official update via Zune.

Could you please write what is final release version number after your phone updates?

No luck for me here in the UK...

Done! Pictures attached in the OP

I'm installing in Finland too, right now. Didn't have to do any tricks, just opened Zune and plugged phone in. I had official Beta 2 installed and now upgrading straight to Mango, no need to go NoDo first.

I mean from the phone "about" screen in settings?

7720.68 of course.
Drivers are 2424.11.8.5
radio is 2424.11.7.2
and bootloader is 5.8.1.9
done a clean update... flashed 7389, updated to 7392, registry hacked to add Czech language, updated to 7403 and 7720, all via Zune

Now its installing update four? First one was Mango, second was some beta 2 cleanup update, third was Samsung firmware update and now its installing Samsung firmware update #2..

Ok so the version that was here already for some time which was 7720.68 RTM is gold for Omnia?
Because I've read that guys with Dell Venue pro are receiving 7720.219.

Same here.

hi, I just updated to 7.10.7720.68 (is this final mango??) but I can not set display language to "czech".... some version mishmash??

updated mine through Zune this morning, no connection dis trick needed. I was on leaked RTM, so zune only updated my radio and firmware.
Now hidden wifi,touch focus, and bing vision all work!

I found another way to get the official Mango on my omnia 7 with the 7720 RTM.

It worked for me..

I'm sorry mate, but Czech isn't deployed on all phones, you have to hack it BEFORE updating to Mango by adding Czech into registry as available language.
(I still feel like MS did it this way to give it to users, because they would have some problems with official methods, like EULAs or whatever?)

I don't think you need to do anything if you are on RTM - I went from NoDo through the betas to RTM on my 3 branded Omnia 7, connect it to Zune and its updating it for me.

@gremmmy
Tried it twice, ended up with a bricked phone twice, unbricked twice thanks god!

[Q] Currently running Schubert 7720, how do I get to the official mango 7720?

I've been running Schubert's Mango 7720 for over a week (and love it, minus the game apps not working). But with the official release for our phones is out, I'd like to get the games working too.
When I would try to update it through Zune Software, it would say I'm up to date with the 7720.
Is there a way to downgrade to NoDo, then run the update as normal to get the official mango update?

what do you mean?
Schubert is the HD7/HD7S.
what are you trying to do exactly?
what HD7 do you have exactly and on what carrier?

oops, i meant DFT's Freedom ROM.

makes much more sense now.
only way is to either...
flashing a NoDo ROM, then updating to Mango thru Zune, or...
flashing an official Mango ROM, or...
trying other custom ROMs...
perhaps, my intrinsicROM? it is based on the official TMOUS Mango ROM.
official NoDo and Mango ROMs can be found on the XDA Wiki Shipped ROMs page. link in my signature.
or
for custom ROMs, check out the HD7 WP7 Development thread. or for my ROM, link is in my signature.

p.s. sorry, couldn't resist 'promoting' my intrinsicROM.

[Q] Question about mango? How to downgrade

ok here i go so i recently got my hd7 and I upgrade to mango before i even checked the message boards to see if i should stay on the shipped rom or upgrade. after doing the upgrade i realized that i wanted to try some of the customs roms but i cant figure out what im suppose to do i have bootloader version 4.5.2250.0(129966) firmware 2250.21.40503.531 Please help me i just got the hd7 through warranty exchange from t mobile i use to own the hd2.
to sum it all up i want to know what way if at all possible to downgrade the rom version, and how to upload a new custom rom. I got lost in the hole NoDO firmware talk when i was looking up info so please point me in the right direction.

You need to flash an official nodo rom to downgrade the bootloader. Do you have a t-mobile US version?

I think you can't because as I have the same sate with a Samsung Omnia 7
I do not get official update.
More... I think there is NO update 7.8 for HD7 because I have one and nothing on the air by now

First switch to OSPL, then downgrade to official 7.5, then update to 7.8 using SevenEighter.

presumably because you have Deepshining currently installed... your Schubert is already XSPL'd.
just flash a Custom ROM with WP7.8 already installed.
else
you could try updating via WP7.8 CABs.
unsure if dotcompt disabled CAB updating or not, though.

As far as I know deepshining is incompatible with .cab updating. And is not updateable through Zune. So the answer is no, you can't update this way.
But why would you like to be on official ROM anyways? I would have gotten rid of my HD7's long ago and switched to Android if they weren't with custom ROMs. IMHO our phones are nearly crippled with the official stuff. But I guess this is just my own personal point of view.

Yes you can update to 7.8 just search seveneighter that is an update program for every wp7 phone

thanks
Thank you,
I already have Custom ROM, but it is not Arabic support, that's why I need to update to original WP7.8.
I tried to use CAB filed, but it is not working.

Did you tried the source codes? https://github.com/jaxbot/wph-seveneighter

i had the same problem and i downgraded by flashing back to 7.5 but my phone doesnt get last 7.5 update even.
according to link below I am supposed to have Update 7.10.8773.98 before 7.8 update but my version is still Update 7.10.8107.79
will this be any problem to use that seveneighter if i dont have that update in between. or 7.8 update includes already that update.

I have the same phone. (T-mobile with Dynamics ROM).
If by official you mean HTC's version, then no, you will never get it because HTC has abandoned it (sounds like HTC, doesn't it).
You also said you want WP 7.8 for Arabic support -- but I thought 7.8 does NOT have Arabic (and may never get it unless M$ changes their mind).

It did work with my HD7S when I tried the SevenEighter from windowsphonehacker.com
I just hope 7.8 doesn't close any jailbreaking or unlocking loopholes.
