Omnia 7 WP7 updates

Hi everyone.
While the first Windows Phone update just showed up randomly, which according to Microsoft is a sort of preliminary update for the Real one which is expected in the first week of March.
Since I have updated my Omnia 7 to version (7008), all my applications and the unlocked states remain unchanged and all the applications that were either downloaded or sideloaded are intact. I must say that the update process took considerable amount of time, which I believe was fairly distributed as the update had to be downloaded, the phone had to backup itself so that the new update could be applied.
While many of you might be reluctant at this stage to try out the (7008) revision, I assure you that there wont be any problems as of yet, this is also to confirm to certain cases where some users in other forums have reported that Samsung devices come up with an error during installation.
I hope that this post shall be encouraging to all who might need reassurance. I shall keep you people posted about my findings on the new updates as they come through.

Many thanks for sharing that mate!
I have made it clear that the update went successfully and that all settings and apps were intact after the update had been applied. Your information is very helpful since there are cases where some people have reported that their devices have been bricked. Additionally, I had also changed my branded 3 UK rom to XENJK1 from samfirmware before updating device so rest assured that JK1 on my Omnia 7 had no problems with updating even though I updated from a different computer while logged in as a guest in Zune.

Microsoft have put this update on hold until they fix a bug that has been bricking some phones hope its fixed soon. I suppose its better to fix this now than when the major update comes out in march

I think the work 'bricking' is abit strong.
There have been reports of the process not completing and the users having to reset the phone to its original state, ok thats still not a nice thing to have todo, but its hardly bricking your device is it.

Got the update a couple of days ago
Before I had heard that it wasn't 'the big one' Got very excited - all went really smoothly and then........ nothing had changed. It was almost like I had just done a reboot.
looking forward to the big one.

No update Found
Tried several times updating my omnia7. But zune always says that the phone is up to date....?? Any suggestions!

@Omer1982
Try updating Zune first. Make sure that you are connected to internet and whether your phone firmware is 7008 and not 7004. You can check the firmware under phone settings in Zune.

Microsoft has not yet re-released this update - I'm guessing they're still working on the fix that some Samsung owners need to upgrade. Mine gets stuck at 100% on backup (step 7/10), so I'm waiting for that too.

UPDATE—Wed. Mar. 2
Just spotted this on the Windows Phone Team blog - http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/windowsphone/archive/2011/02/23/more-answers-about-our-first-software-update.aspx
UPDATE—Wed. Mar. 2
Starting today, we plan to resume rolling out the February update to Samsung phones. Meanwhile, we’re continuing to dispatch the update to other Windows Phone models. As has been the case, the software patch is being sent out on a rolling schedule. You’ll see a message on your phone when it’s available.
During the past week the engineering team has pinpointed and fixed problems that were preventing a small percentage of Windows Phones from installing the February software patch. We apologize again for the delay and continue looking for ways to improve the update process.

Oh, it's just the pre-Update for those that couldn't update their phone before.
Nothing new then...I still hope to see NoDo in a few days.

looks like the update is online again, i updated my phone successfully yesterday. It took about 10mins, everything went smoothly.

I updated my phone the first day they started pushing it again. Went through no problem. Took about 5 mins

I think I'm going to update to the latest one on Samfirmware.

I still haven't got the update to 7008 but I'm on the jj4 firmware...
Do I need to update to jk1?

couldn't wait
flashed to jk1, update 7008 came right away ^^

YEAH me too, right now (today JIG was in my letter box).
I had the T-Mobile 16GB unlocked phone (by the seller).
I think that if you don't have any mobile operator (samsung original firmware) updates are notified as released from Microsoft.

Hi guys,
I have a T-Mobile UK Omnia 7 (unlocked). I have updated my Zune software. Then when I check for updates under Phone settings, it always shows my current version is 7004 and it is up to date.
I am also unable to flash my phone to jk1 since I have a branded Omnia 7.
What should I do now, any suggestions?
Thanks.

Anyone got the update yet? It's supposed to be rolling out, but no sign of it yet for me.
[edit] Currently on 7008

Tango from AT&T?

There is reports on the internet of Tango rolling out on AT&T - can anyone confirm this? I used the cab sender method so of course when I check for an update, it says my phone is on the latest version 7.10.8773. However, there is Samsung firmware bundled with the A&T firmware - does anyone know what it does? Does it fix the hanging wireless driver, does it break interop-unlock, does it fix the issue when powering on the screen sometimes?
If anyone could capture the update via wireshark and give me a link to download and install, that would be great I mean.. unless it breaks interop-unlock, in which case I don't give a **** about it.
Thanks,
6-4

the most recent update from ATT is still @ 7.10.7720

This is the Samsung update..
www.download.windowsupdate.com/msdo..._7c77306f9c299d47b491ac080855febbd68c0ccf.cab

did you try installing the firmware did the firmware relock ur phone?

Sorry - yes, I installed the firmware and there was no negative repercussions, worked flawlessly.
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

you have to apply the prevent relock xap that jaxbox has on his windowsphonehacker website if you want to keep interop unlock if you apply the samsung update. Thats how im still interop unlocked, with tango and the samsung firmwae update which fixed the keyboard lag. i made a back up before i applied the samsung update just in case so i would do the same if i were you.

thanks, did the firmware update already. i have applied the prevent lock xap before doing the firmware update i kept a backup also just in case. works great and kept my interop unlocked.
One thing ive notice, before the fw update i can only play/pause/volume up, now everything are working including the next/previous track clicks controls.

Wow scratch that. My phone called home and now half my homebrew apps won't launch.. apparently reflashing is the only way to fix this? Great. Stock roms for the focus s aren't even available.. ****.
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

actually my focus s was relock after the tango update and deleted some of my sideloaded apps after launching them. i did apply windowbreak again then deployed the prevent relock xap and finally applied the fw update. hopefully it will remain unlock.

Lucky you - I neglected to read the info about preventing the relocking, I just figured it would happen as soon as I installed the cab. What to do, what to do..

My GF's Focus S on AT&T has been giving an update notice for a couple days. Finally plugged it into Zune and the update failed. I previously force updated to 8107 for VVM support. Hopefully someone will release the cab file to upload in the forced state, as I'm guessing many people didn the force update.

I have the same issue updating by zune. Then I revert to the previous firmware version to recover the interop unlock and then I deployed the prevent relock xap but then you said you applied the firmware update. How do you apply the new firmware update? ussing zune?

sorry, i think i missed something here, has anyone applied the LE2 samsung OEM update that is shipped out with Tango and noticed if you can no longer use diagnostic tool to apply updates?
my phones still not arrived yet but surely updates can be done as following, please correct me if im wrong, ive been kinda used to the HD2 for years...
unlock
backup (A) (keep copy)
cab OS update
unlock if needed
backup (B) (keep copy)
apply OEM (LE2) update
at this point you should have an unlocked device but are unable to re unlock it if needed, but do benifit from newer drivers etc.
To update to the next OS or enable unlocking you
restore the backup of that same OS version BUT without the OEM update (backup B)
apply the next CAB OS update,
unlock it,
backup again (B) (keep copy),
apply next CAB OEM update
essentially for every OS update you revert your OS to the backuped up version without the OEM update allowing you do mod it after you cab update the OS.
unless we can install our own certs and make our own OEM update minus all the crap we dont need....

I have applied the fw update manually thru cab sender (did not used zune software).

Hi Guys,
I updated with the cab from 64GUNSHIP my samsung focus S but now is always rebooting.
I can't syncronize the mobile phone to restore the backup.
Can you help me?
Edit: Finally I can't restore with Zune pushing turn on button and camera button from the mobile phone, finally I restore with the Zune application.

Hey! I used cab sender for my Focus S, updated to Tango and now in Zune there's the Samsung update :victory: updated with no problems :good: solved many fixes like the keyboard, and sound

Has anyone been able to use internet sharing after applying the fw update through cab sender? I'm not on ATT and get the generic message to call 611 to enable it...
If I roll back to tango it's fine...Definitely still interop unlocked as all my sideloaded apps still work.

I lost my interop w/o backup after doing the updates, mine doesn't let me use internet sharing anymore either. However, using WinTT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587332) you can enable it with default settings on any interop/rooted handset.:laugh:

[Q] Online Update for SEA Region failed

Greetings.
Very recently, there was an official/OTA update for P7-L10. And I subsequently downloaded and tried to update it as soon as it finishes downloading.
But, when it tried to update, it keeps failing. Is the update wrong? or is there something missing that I am not clearly seeing it?
My current version, out of the box - P7-L10V100R001C00B133SP01
and the update (online update) is (as mentioned) : P7-L10_SouthPacific_C00B620.
Please advise me on what might have went wrong?
Thank you.

Do you have TWRP or CWM installed? Was your phone brand new or pre-owned? Do you have custom rom or stock rom?

Nope, I do not have those installed. This is a brand new phone running stock rom.

Ok, I guess your phone is not branded (vodafone, orange, etc.), so get the b609 update and install it.
If you had firmware 133, how come you got SAE update? Where did you buy your phone?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep, it's not. Hmm. I am unsure as to how or where I can get the B609 update, because ever since I first laid my hands on this phone, it has been running B133 out of the box. And, since, in between then and now, I have been going to the system update to look for any update prior to this one that I am currently having a problem to update, and there was no new update (until, again, now )
Also, previously I did went online on my PC to find an update B609, and downloaded it and tried to do a local update. and unfortunately for me, it caused my phone to be soft-bricked, and back then, I have not turned on my USB debugging or did any major changes to my phone, thus, requiring me to send my phone to the service centre. So, I'm kinda weary about downloading an update online from my PC, as of now.
Well, I am not sure what SAE is, and to answer that question, again, I do not know how I may have gotten the update. I bought my phone from where I am currently living, Malaysia.

Can you make a print screen of your SAE update problem?

sorry, but um, can you please enlighten me as to what is SAE? I am truly sorry for not knowing this.

So OTA fails., what's the code of error (why it fails)?
Also, you can try manual update or the "3 button update" (it is described in the forum).
But the most important thing is to know why it fails.
P.S. You can take print screens from the Hisuite during update or when it fails

Hi piring, I've encounter the same issue with updating from B133SP01 to B620, my set is a"SOUTH PACIFIC" model.
I even brough my set to the huawei service centre to see if the technician over there can solve the issue but unfortunately, they are just as clueless as I am..... They did a factory reset of my set and tried to install the update again but the update still fail to install. There is no error code but only "fail" word appearing. They claim it's because my set was rooted but when I have unroot my phone, it still.can't update.
So if you managed to successfully updated your set, can you share with me how to go about it? Thanks.

Oh. well, to be honest, I kinda given up hopes on how to update it. And with that, I am still clueless as to how to update it. I have tried using HiSuite, but to my surprise, HiSuite mentioned that my phone is already up to date. So, I am honestly puzzled as to how my phone is pushing for an OTA, but HiSuite insists that my phone model is of current and latest update.
Sorry I am unable to help you.

Hi piring, same thing goes for my HiSuite as well. It's kinda of sucks that the update is available but can't update. It's even more worse that Huawei service centre cannot do anything about it and just tell me forget about the update and ignore the notification. Now i have a phone with a permanent notification mark that i cannot get rid of.
P7-L10 is a good phone but the support i'm getting from Huawei service centre is really unprofessional and disappointing.
But anyway, thanks for your reply.

Unable to get the Android 10 update

Hi all,
I am writing from India. I am using a nokia 9 pure view device. I have not gotten the Android 10 update. I am on Android 9, the November security patch.
I am blind so use talkback. I know there is a way of loading the ota update via using adb and the recovery mode. However, in recovery mode, talkback does not work so I am wondering how to get this update.
I have contacted Nokia support without success. The India support did not have any official information on the update and when I contacted Nokia on twitter, I was told to wait as the update would be rolling out in patches. This was in December. I understand that we are up to the first security patch of Android 10 and still no update. I cannot determine if this is a problem with India or something with my phone.
What can I try to get the update?
Pranav

Other than continuously trying to run the Update check manually via System Settings, not sure there could be an alternate solution.
Or, perhaps a fellow Android enthusiast around your area who is familiar with running adb commands may help you out?
Good luck with updating, hope your phone receives it soon.

PL] Thanks for your message. I have been checking since December 6 without success. However, I have extracted a logcat dump after running the manual check for updates via adb. The log is on my blog but I do not see how to paste the link because I am not permitted to do for anti-spam reasons. I'll try below and hopefully someone will be able to put the link together.
techesoterica dot com /wp-content/uploads/2020/01/update01.txt

something that's easy to miss is to make sure you don't have ad blockers running. I had blokada and it interfered with the phone's ability to detect the update.

It's not a problem with your device.
Nokia 9 Pureview in UK and India are not getting their updates delivered on time. Others having the same device are also experiencing this problem.

Hi all,
I have fixed the update issue and am posting the solution here for completeness. I do not think I can post links. The answer is on my blog at techesoterica dot com.
The fix involves using recovery mode to apply two updates manually after which the regular patches show up.

February security update has been issued.
