will the firmware be updated along with the regular windows phone updates or do we have to update ourselves manually? I know microsoft said they will be adding software/updates from the device manufacturer included with the windows phone updates.
The updates each phone receives are phone specific. That is to say that in addition to the OS update there can be phone specific updates such as firmware updates.
OEMs can send firmware updates out, whether or not they will is up to them
yes, my "Omnia 7" firmware was updated by Zune
My "Omnia 7" firmware was auto updated by Zune on 30/03/2011 (Samsung Specific Update), now is I8700HUIJK1 (previous was I8700HUIJID)

It makes you wonder if we can force the Samsung specific update onto our phones with ChevronWP7 NoDo Updater....
Does anyone have an idea on why certain phones get the Samsung update and some dont?
Anyone have a idea of that?
Hi,
I have the 1.5.3_10124 version of Kies
When i connect the usb, everything goes fine.
but then it shows:-
Model Name: GT-I9000
Current Version PDA:JP6 / PHONE: JP2 / CSC: JP5
This device's version cannot be updated.
PLEASE HELP ME OUT!
I just can't believe people still rely on kies and get confused and mad because there wasn't an update or something. Get the last version of kies and try with it. If there is no update for your operator then kies won't find an update. Even if there are gingerbread updates for other countries there may be none for yours, so you can wait for weeks to get one. All of you should realize how useless kies is and that if you want new updates only from kies you should be patient (it might take quite some time), you shouldn't get angry and you shouldn't make new threads about how come kies didn't find new updates for your device's version.
Then you can download Odin and start using android the way it was intended - like an open source OS and not a closed dependent one relying only on Samsung and kies.
Just use Odin and flash the new rom
Allot of us forced the mango update on Zune, but did not get the new drivers from Samsung.
So here it is a quick and dirty way of getting you phone up to date
Download the package from Here.
Unrar it to you pc.
Plug in you Omnia ,make sure Zune is not open.
If you have windows x64 click on the update-driversx64.bat shortcut.
If you have windows x86 click on the update-driversx86.bat shortcut
Follow the promps...
Notes:
You doing this at you own risk.
update can take up to 30 minutes
Tested in windows xp with an unbranded Omnia7, in windows vista or seven you may need to run the shortcut as an administrator.
After the update your Firmware version should be 24.11.8.5 and Bootloader version should be 5.8.1.9
You doing this at you own risk.
Good Luck.
As I see from FW number and BL version, these should be drivers from KH5 FW.
What's the difference, if any at all, with KH2 FE, i. e
FW 2424.11.8.2
BL 5.8.0.8
Radio is the same in both - 2424.11.7.2
rgds
I updated to Mango and ended up with the 2424.11.8.2 firmware instead of 2424.11.8.5 as well. Very tempted to use this method to update my Omnia 7. Will using this method cause any problems updating via Zune in the future?

Im not 100% sure but it should, the update only goes thrue if required by the device, if the devices does not need it or not compatible the update gets discarded.
I had the Mango flashed following threads from here from a month or so ago , a night or 2 ago i got 1 update (A Samsung update) i have had no others though i have the fw and bl mention in the first post . Am i up to date with only this one update ??
Others have mentioned "Beta clean ups" i haven't had these
Good. I got problems updating the drivers via zune. I guess those are official I'll be updating soon.
Thank you
worked like a charm, I needed this to get the wifi tethering to work, had the option there any everything but needed the sammy drivers.
I have an Omnia 7 that is "3" branded. I was running RTM 7220, plugged my phone into zune and it had 10 updates..
am I right in thinking I now have official Mango? so confused as everyone else seems to say the update hasn't come for us yet, but mines there now with hidden wifi and everything..
Installed the update and it works like a charm. Thank you.
Before :
FW : 24.11.2.3
Bootloader : 5.2.1.4

Hi guys,
I'm getting update error on Mango 7720.
This is my Mango upgrade path..
NoDo -> ISV Beta -> 7403 -> 7720
I've been unable to install the Samsung Firmware, all I get is:
Error:
Update device 9d76937d - e66da2ea - e6327312 - f45fcae9 Complete with error code
: 80180048, error message: IU (Image Update) installation failed due to an error
.

The only restore point that I have is NoDo+Prov.cab that brought my phone to the Beta path (takesonetomango tool). Meaning that if I connect my phone to Zune, it says that the 'ISV Beta' update is available.
Anyone have any idea on how I could get the latest firmware? or possibile unprovision my phone so I could get on the normal path..and hopefully get the firmwares through the official production server?
I'm hoping that I won't need to reflash my device as it contains many SMS messages that I'd like to keep.
Works perfectly.
But I dont see any changes, what does this update exactly do?

For one it updates the sensor drivers, for instances, without this update the compass does not work.
Is this WP7_ENGINEER or WP7_PRODUCT???

I'm getting the same error. This is really frustrating.
Hi. My fiance has the G900A galaxy s5 and it will not update. Its on 5.0 lollipop. Ive been trying to update it to marshmallow for months now and it won't. It always says software is up to date. It has enough room to update cause I know marshmallow is a big file. Does anyone here know why it won't update?
Its never been rooted or tampered with at all.
Anybody??
I'm having the same issue
I'm having the same issue, however, my daughter's ATT S5 is on Tmo. I put an ATT SIM in it yesterday and it showed the update available, but won't pull it down because we can't turn on her WiFi. I wiped the phone and restarted and still cannot turn on WiFi. Now I'm looking for a way to run the OTA update over ADB.
I had a similar issue. I missed one or two previous OTA updates and found that my phone would not update to 6.0 Marshmellow. AT&T store could not assist and was referred to Samsung employee at Bestbuy whose kiosk happened to be not working. I tried with Odin, Kies, and Samsung Sync all of which do not work since ATT does not supply them with their firmwares. They all just showed my phone as up to date. I found a thread on how to manually update via emergency mode. I followed the directions and downloaded the firmware. Dropped the file into my external sd card, named it update.zip, and rebooted in emergency mode. I was able to update with one of the in between firmware and after that then allowed me to use the OTA. I am on an ATT S5 active. I bet you would need to do something similiar since you're still on 5.0. I believe there was 2-3 in-between updates before the latest.

Updated do not show up unless a valid AT&T SIM is in the phone. For some reason it checks to see if you have a valid AT&T service account before accepting the request to connect to the OTA update server. You will not get an update otherwise.
I was cleaning out my phone for resale or donation and noticed that AT&T's site now lists a newer firmware of I537UCSCOC8. Has anyone not actively using service from said provider actually been able to receive this update or found the firmware available? I don't seem to be able to get it through either the phone's update check or Kies (I presume they are both getting it from Samsung, which doesn't list this update).
It's a baseband update. Not sure what for, but, cool nonetheless.
