We both Have HD7's on O2 in the UK and we both have Mango RTM leaked on our phones.
This morning she was notified that there was an HTC update for her phone, after installing it she now has new radio and firmware. Quite a bit newer than mine.
I can't force mine to get the update and the only difference between the two phones is that mine has bootloader version 1.*** and hers has version 4.***. Could this be the reason I have not got the update?
Or would that have been updated by HTC? (I did force install NODO on mine and think I needed to change the bootloader then)
Am I destined to never get another update? Can I change my bootlloader? Any help much appreciated.
All RTM and Normal WP7 phones will get the Update regardless, its just that MS does them in batches and your wife's phone was the lucky one in the first batch.
You can try force the update in Zune with the disconnecting trick.
Just have patience as all phones will be updated by end November.
So it has nothing to do with the provisioning of the device from when I updated from the beta servers for beta2?
In addition to all this, Connection setup will not run. So I uninstalled it and now I cannot install it again because it says it is not designed for my device in the marketplace. Why is that?
HTC HUB and some applications seem to be affected if you update from RTM to the Official HTC one
THe work around I found was to 'FACTORY RESET' your Phone after the HTC Update.
To HARD RESET your Phone

Thank you for all your advice.
But do you think this would prohibit me from recieveing the firmware update?

i have two hd7 phones one updated to 7.0.7390 just fine, the other hung after first update. T-mobile and htc's fix is to send a new phone. I have powered down, powered down and removed battery, and did a factory reset. still no update. I also tried a different pc still no recognition for second update. Anyone else having this issue.
I had the same issue but I forced nodo.
there is another thread in the development area, i forced it and it worked
Lookfor Force NoDo update in the General section and download the software in the thread. I was having the same issue as you and this is is what i did once i had downloaded the software:
I was having problems updating my 2nd HD7 phone...it kept telling me I had the most current verstion; however i had updated my another HD7 minutes earlier to NoDo. This is what I did , 1st make sure you're choosing the correct version PPTP Hungary and not LT2P hungary...i made that mistake. Then connect your phone and I turn off the data connection and 3g, leave wifi on for now...I open zune and manually went to device, update and once it was searching for an update i waited 20-25 seconds and i turned off the wifi off , wait 3-5 seconds and then on..(i think i this a couple of times)...like someone here mentioned earlier...and it was able to see the Mar 2011 update...I'm telling you I was stuck at the 7008 update...and this really worked!
Mentioned patching a security hole but nothing else that I saw. Just finished installing, version shows 7.0.7392.0
Fix for fraudulent third-party digital certificates. This update includes a critical fix to an industry-wide issue with nine untrusted digital certificates that were issued by one root certificate authority. These third-party digital certificates are used to access popular websites and email portals. Although this is not a Microsoft security vulnerability, these untrusted certificates may be used to spoof content, perform phishing attacks, or perform man-in-the-middle attacks against all web browser users. This update moves the affected certificates to the "Untrusted Publishers" certificate store on Windows Phone, which helps ensure that these fraudulent certificates are not inadvertently used.

That's all it's supposed to be and is. Just got it too. Glad I did as I needed a fresher backup
According to Walsh it also has other fixes though... I wouldn't doubt Microsoft just threw something in there, after all, they didn't mention a single bug fix in NoDo, though obviously there were some.
Issues with 7392 and phone battery life
I'm reading about some users in UK facing horrible battery life after 7392 update... not sure i want to update my phone.
People with stock TMo HD7, anything to report?
Oh and here is the link to the thread:

UPDATE:
Couldn't wait any more and updated it just now... will post back the results tomorrow.
my phone is updating as i type. back up is taking long to finish. probably because i have lots of files in it.
and its eating approximately 3gb of my disc space
is it safe if i cut and save the back up to a disc of a thumb drive?will it make a difference to paste back the files to its directory given that i need to restore my phone to its previous version?
thanks
updating mine now...will post results...
Updated my htc hd7 us tmobile here in uk all went well I just got the phone today can't see any battery issues. Loving this phone and I just came from a samsung galaxy s2 but I think this is better.

Can someone just explain to me once I have this 7392.0 update installed do I need to update the firmware and radio and boot loader do these change with the zune software update or do I need to manually update them by flashing with a ruu installer, what's the difference between zune updates and the flashing the latest tmobile rom are they the same thing? Does anyone have a link to the latest tmobile us rom for htc hd7.

there is a f***** way to resolve this f**** problem that freezes the phone every time i listen music in random play? or i have to downgrade TO NODO !??!??!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?
Did you force the update? because I had this problem on the Dev Preview, but with the official update and HTC Firmware update it is fixed. You need the HTC Firmware update.
i forced the update through zune with the internet trick, my update is official! i've done the same thing with nodo!
THIS IS INCORRECT. MANGO DID NOT BUGGER UP ZUNE. STOP SPREADING HEARSAY.
I've had this problem since April (bought phone in March) with original HD7 firmware. It's related to WMA and/or Zune Pass DRM content. The problem continued through both NoDo and into Mango.
Deleting the Zune Pass Subcription content and redownloading fixes the problem. Been problem free since doing this 2-weeks ago. No problem. Works perfectly for hours, without usb power connection.
Note:
DRM Free only content will not freeze (mp3's);
Running device on USB power will not freeze;
If you've ever taken a long flight with your WP7 device, you may have run into the problem -- while in the air, turn on Zune and all drm-protected content refuses to play. Only drm-free content works. MS should look at the way Zune routinely reviews drm certificate or db integrity.
Ive solved the problem
i was using wma drm free 96kbs for put more music in the fucching 16gb
with mp3 128kbs there is no problem. But this is not acceptable
aquanaut88 got lucky - the described fix doesn't work for everyone. Certainly not me.
Also, this doesn't necessarily have anything to do with DRM'd files. It's reproducable with unprotected WMAs ripped from CDs.
onorevole.paolo - you've not soved the problem, you've found a workaround. Plus it won't help with Zune Pass content.

From the Microsoft Answers thread, someone received this response from HTC:
"We are aware of this troubling issue and we are working closely with the carriers to develop a maintenance release to correct it. Our developers are currently working on this and we hope to have an update available for you soon. We do not yet have an ETA to provide for you. To stay on top of release dates for upgrades and new devices, you can follow our social network feeds on Twitter and Facebook, or our official website at htc.com/us. However, you will receive direct notification to your device once this is available for download and installation."

Sweet, I just got the update on my HD7 from Bell. How could HTC have been so wishy-washy on this, they've clearly planned it...

same situation here... waiting for solution
Was pleased to get the update today... 3 updates in total...
Lovin the new homescreen... :good:
Also, the new colours are great... Even the old colours look better (red/orange)... They really have body, like an amoled without an amoled...
No "Trick", no Tool...
Just go to Zune and ... hey there's an UPDATE.
Love new Homescreen.
And my Lumia 710 just wait for it.
Does this mean the HD7s will get it too?
The relation between this 2 models confuses me and I couldn't find a hd7s specific forum
(Maybe I'm a n00b... Like the ones mentioned in the video haha)
The trick method with zune (pulling out the cable) didn't work for me for the last two days, but I had to do a hard reset on the phone and changed the system locale to English (Canada), and that seemed to get the update done - I had seen a bunch of Canadians getting the update, so I tried this and it worked!
US T-Mobile HD7 upgrade to 7.8
Has anyone gotten upgrade to 7.8 on their phone?
I tried the disconnect method, but no joy.
Use Seven-Eighter, it worked for me.
Don't forget to select all languages you have installed to update.
Spanish HD7 updated to 7.8!
Hi, I just wanna share my experience with you:
NOTE 1: First of all, try a normal update on Zune without doing any special trick, Many people is updating the device without any special action!
NOTE 2: There are some data consumption related bugs. Check them here.
This has been my experience:
There are 3 updates to install, as previously mentioned: 7.10.8779.8 --> 7.10.8783.12 --> 7.10.8858.136
These are the steps to follow on each update, taken from several posts over the net as this:
1) Disconnect WiFi and other data connections on the device.
2) Connect device to Zune
3) Go to settings->phone->update
4) While searching for updates for the device count to 5 and disconnect internet on your computer (WiFi, ethernet, whatever...).
5) Wait about 30 seconds for the Zune response.
6) If "no updates available" or "error searching" or similar response is shown, go to another option in the left menu and then repeat the process from step 3. If "update found", go to Step 7.
7) Reconnect Internet access (ethernet, WiFi...) on your computer (not the phone).
8) Follow instructions to install the update
Some notes:
- I have spent more than 15 tries to make Zune show the update. It depends on Internet/computer response when searching to Microsoft update servers. If 5 seconds don't work for you, try changing the wait time. In my case, started with 1 second, then 2, then 3... 5 resulted to be the perfect one. The second and third update only used 3 search attemps. Using wireshark may help, look at instructions explained by user "medeis" on a comment in this page: here.
- 1st update is very slow, the second and the third is much faster (no backup required as in first).
- Repeat this procedure for every update (3 in total).
It worked for me on my unbranded HTC HD7 from Spain. It runs very smoothly, but nothing special apart from the new tiles (ok, great), accent colors (unnecessary, don't know why I can't choose one from a color picker...) and lock screen (my child is more beautiful thant any bing image...)
Cheers,

i think , removing simcard ! is only thing we need. works for me in first hours 7.8 coming ...

I'm still wondering about this. I haven't heard anything about updates for the HD7S at all and I've been searching for two days.
Then again, I'm a n00b too. *sigh*

Question for anyone who streams music over bluetooth; how is the sound quality? In previous versions, audio bitrates were purposely crippled in the registry and it sounded awful. Did they fix that? Zune has started to badger me about this update as well, and I'm tempted to update. I'm running a modded firmware just to get around the bluetooth issue and don't want to update if it's just going to get me crappy sound quality again...
I've got an AT&T braded HD7. It would never update past 7720. Yeah, pre Tango. Bug fixes? Who needs those? Sorry, I'm frustrated.
Anyways, today I unlocked the phone (legit means). Now I've got my AT&T and an unused T-Mobile SIM.
No matter the method, I cannot get an upgrade. Let me be clear: I'd rather not have to hack my phone, but get the update normally.
Everything I've tried, hard resets, one SIM, the other, no SIM, different locales, hours of Zune unplug network "trick", nothing works. I'm "up to date" at 7720.
Can anyone:
1. Confirm that AT&T (U.S.) branded HD7 can in no way get an update through Zune normally.
2. Give their true opinion on the stability of SevenEighter.
No luck!

I'll say that the SevenEighter tool work comletely fine for my T-Mobile branded HD7. Great little tool. Just be sure to select all the language packs your phone needs to operate.
As for the AT&T question, as far as I know, AT&T didn't realease an update for the HD7. If they haven't released any update for pre-Tango, I don't think you'll have any luck.

I went ahead on Sunday and used SevenEighter. I also did research about the language packs before I ran it. It worked great. I was -NINE- revisions behind, so it took a while. It blows my mind AT&T wouldn't even release the Tango bug fix version. What a garbage provider.
Woah!

So far so good. I'm not the type to use a lot of apps, email, and facebook. I just like the simple interface.
I guess I'll put it through its paces when I attempt to use it with a new bluetooth car stereo.

My battery sometimes acts funny like that. I find that doing a battery pull corrects the issue for awhile,
