WP7 Nodo Update for Tmobile HD7

Any word on when we will be getting this for us Tmobile US users. Anxiously waiting for copy/paste funcitonality. Overall i like the phone, but some very spotty reception especially with 3g data connection.

I think as far as anyone knows the update is due to start rolling out from the 8th March... but it'll be the carriers that can delay it by a week or two

Yeah, I'm waiting for the update before I decide if I'm going to keep this HD7 or not. I love the big screen and I love the OS. But this phone has some serious reception issues. My Moto Defy and even my Nokia Nuron get much better reception in both voice and data. I'm not use to so many dropped called.

I hear ya, but wouldn't that be a carrier update, not NoDo that addresses these reception issues we have. Just thinking logically here, this is a software update, not radio or kernel correct? MS can't possibly know all the issues present for each carrier or phone that needs to be addresses. Soryr coming form android so maybe my understanding is incorrect.

I'm waiting with you. So far, the same disappointment. I also noted that prices have fallen significantly and people are getting rid of them.

It seems that as soon MS will do something good is this system will fail. Even though HTC has released several new models, but with Android on board.

HTC Europe v1.30 ROM was released over in the Mozart forums and build number confirmed final NoDo.

I'm sure it's just a matter of hours for HD7... the pre-update went quick and smoothly, as well so should this one too.
Cheers

Tmobile US sent you the pre-update?

Please confirm post above
Ya im confused too. I'm on Tmobile USA and didnt get a pre update yet.....
Please confirm/Explain

Me neither

From what I've gathered, the pre-update wasn't/isn't 100% necessary.

Any good news?

the content of the update is necessary but the update process itself isn't because the contents of that update will be included in the NoDo update. Given the fact that the 8th was only a rumored date, I doubt its coming out today, but hey surprises are welcome!

It's my understanding that the pre-update is not necessary. What T-mobile has done was include the pre-update WITH the NoDo update; this was noted as something carriers were allowed to do.
When does this combo update come? Who the hell knows.

Microsoft themselves stated (while being scrutinized if carriers can block updates) that updates are bundled together by them (Microsoft) so that it won't have an effect on consumers who's carriers have blocked a previous update. The first update served two purposes: the first; was driver or firmware level upgrades that facilitate the upgrade process (which is why those small number of phones ended up bricking when the update went awry) the second was to see the worst case scenario that ended up happening to the Samsung phones. So to do list for initial update crossed out, time to release NoDo!

hope this helps

Can anybody confirm whether the radio & firmware updated ROM that XDA user Ansar posted over in the development section made it into the NoDo update ROM? I've heard good things about that radio update (saves battery, better signal etc.) and it'd be nice to know that we would also be receiving that updated radio and firmware.

Same problem

I'm in the UK and still no update. Not sure if it's landed in the UK for anyone to be honest. All previous updates have been OTA and I've not tried to flash anything or root my phone. On the Three network. Still on 4.1 and EVA-L09C432B166

The rollout of V7 for the P9 in the UK is really weird... Some people have it and some dont. A guy on here said he got the update & was with Three and in the UK. Here we have someone saying the exact opposite.
Can anyone work out this complex rollout method?
I bought mine from O2, It was Unlocked and Unbranded. I too am waiting for the update although mine is currently on EVA-L09C432B182

I'm on O2 UK too in the UK. No update for me either. I am on LO9C40B190. I emailed Huawei and got the usual speel about we understand your frustrations blah blah. They said they have released the update and it is now down to your carrier to release the update. Funny how O2 blame Huawei and then Huawei blame the carrier. I would just be happy to update manually with with a clear guide that should be provided and supported by Huawei.

Its rolling in batches(30000 i think)
But not via normal "settings->update" options but via HiCare, early access. So check that out few times a week. I got mine few weeks ago when I noticed info from HiCare.
I think its still in RC mode, so its not released fully.
PS. Please dont use such big font, especially in that style, I think even kids would not use ComicSans... especially in XDA forum...

So I think we just have to wait

So are you saying that Settings-Update is useless? The last OTA update I got (to B182) was thru this.
If I go into HiCare and select "Service", "OS update early adopters" it says "No Updates avialable"
If I go into HiCare and select "Me", "Check for updates" after checking it ells me "The current version is up to date"
Seems like Huawei are really confusing the hell out of people and making it as complicated as possible...
O2 are just as useless!
Apple have this properly sorted in that when its out, its out for everyone.

Can I ask everyone on O2 UK to email Huawei to ask about updates. If enough people ask they might lean on O2 to get there act together and release it.

I didnt said its useless. Read whole post. I said that right now its in RC mode(""Release Candidate"", its version after beta just before official release). I said that because its look like that, im not expert in that topic.
And no Huawei dont confuse people, its more about XDA and we(users) confuse each other, because If official update would be OFFICIAL, you would get it via normal update release.
But right now its not official, just like name suggest, its: ""OS update early adopters"". So its LIMITED to batch of devices every few weeks(i think, its just look like that).
Because that how I got last update, via that option, just like that I checked HiCare and saw notification that there is early update for 30000 users.
Not to mention that if you have branded phone from operator... Huawei actually have nothing to do with your update, because... guess what? you bought branded phone so operator is responsible for your updates! Simple as HeII.
Also dont compare Android update to Apple update, because:
1. Apple have just one model of phone and tablet with about 4 version supported right now(older devices)
2. They have the same system design and functions, beside few separate features of newer devices.
3. Apple use their own chip, and have really small amount to things to update in terms of hardware
4. Android is open system used by about 200 companies that use dozens of different chips, thousands different component and thousand different system design and style.
5. Huawei compared to other brands its not that bad, and I actually rather wait few months to have polished system than, for example other companies that throw update "just to be first" and then they need to send dozen of fixes for major component of system.
Also we should get real, Android 6 is not that bad, so I seriously dont understand your hysteric desire for update.
Honestly after I updated to EMUI 5... i dont see real difference from 4.1.1 beside few new themes and few different(and actually weird) placement of few buttons.
Honestly you will spend 99% time using separate apps and games from market, so beside different number of system you will not see difference.

Thanks Akinaro for explaining that. Makes complete sense now.
I guess we just need to chill and wait for the "Official OTA release"
I'm more than happy with v6, however, when you see videos of the latest and greatest... You get tempted & impatient!

still nothing

Where to find June update firmware?

I've been hunting to no avail to find the June firmware update.
I've looked in the places I usually find them posted.
Where might I find it?
Any help is appreciated.

Not yet available. Usually, at least 1 month behind.

I was pretty sure my phone was hounding me earlier this month to do an update. Currently running PPW29.69-39-2
Thanks again.

Please somebody let me know when (and where) it is available.

You probably have 1900-5/7 model. 1900-7 stuck on march security update and imho is EOL.

Question No December update, nor January. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I usually receive my updates around the 5th of the month. November 2022 was my last update. The phone was bought direct from Google unlocked. I use it on Consumer Cellular (AT&T). I've called google support and posted the issue on their community forum. Support said to factory reset but admitted they have no idea of what's going on. My post was locked in the community forum.
I saw on the XDA Pixel 5 forum that there was some issue with the releases but its not confirmed by Google.
I'm more concerned over security patches than bug fixes. My phone is working fine.

hi.
i bought my 5a, like you, from Google and unlocked.
i use it in Argentina.
i never received any communication about updates but i allways get my monthly update looking for it in:
config-system-system updates
try that way
right now i have all the updates, the last is January 5

I also am stuck on Nov 5 with a phone bought direct from Google. I am on Mint (T-Mobile MVNO).
Manually re-checking in system - system updates - check for updates reports that it is up to date.

Yep, same here. Just checked and says I'm up to date with the November update.

i don´t know how your cell companies work with google, but i knew that in other brands of phones there were different kind of updates, direct for the unlocked phones, with the cell companies attempt to intercept those updates to modify it, perhaps something has changed after November update giving them the control.
my cell company does not interfere.
did you ask the operators?

I'm still on December 5th security update and November 1st Google Play system update on my Pixel 7

Like others, I bought my Pixel 5 unlocked, direct from Google.
The last update I received was November 2022. Typically, on the 5th of the month or so, I could pop into settings and check for update and it would be there.
I saw reports on several sites of an issue with the Dec update on 5 and 5a phones - some getting bricked - and so I didn't so much mind never getting that update. BUT, this was a pricey phone, and I buy from Google specifically to get 3 years of monthly security (and feature) updates.
Google NEEDS to provide some manner of explanation. If they would just state that there's an issue and they are working to address it, just that acknowledgement would be appreciated.

Yes, I have the same problem, no update on my 5a since Nov 5th.
Googles lame "support" function can be reliably counted on to punt with a factory reset recommendation whenever they don't know the answer. The next suggestion will be to exchange the phone under warranty. Of course, if it is no longer under warranty then you are SOL
Has Google head Sundar Pichai laid off the help to save some $$?

Both of my Pixel 5As on Google Fi never updated beyond November. I finally gave up and sideloaded the January OTA on mine. My wife is still stuck on November on hers.

Can you give more info here? Is there a way to safely download and apply the update or does it involve a reset and firmware install?
I went through the google support chat and ended with them pointing me to https://pixelrepair.withgoogle.com/carrier_selection to "manually install the system update". I haven't pursued it yet, because it talks about doing a backup and restore and I'm not looking forward to that...
I'm not sure my app state will be preserved and it will be a hassle to go through other recovery processes for some of them.
I am a Linux user and relatively clueful about computers, but naive about Android. I think I'd be able to follow some ADB command steps, but I get put off by web discussions around Android that expect folks to download from sketchy looking file-share sites and blindly trust whatever is in them

FWIW, I tried to follow the support advice at the pixelrepair carrier selection link above. After wiping and reinstalling my phone using the appropriate "USA Others" carrier choice, it left me with the exact same TP1A.221105.002 build number I had before and the same problem of showing up to date with Nov 5.
So a big waste of time and the incomplete backup/restore I expected means I get to piece back together a number of extra app accounts etc...
Edit: the next support reply just says something similar to what others said above...
Thanks for trying the steps. Our most recent Pixel update will be deployed at a later date for a small subset of Pixel 5 and Pixel 5a (5G) users. We are currently re-evaluating the build before distribution to this group.

I haven't noticed any new issues. The Bluetooth connections to my Garmin watch and Dexcom CGM are still a little flakey sometimes, but they have been since the upgrade to Android 13, so nothing new there.
I figured Google would have pulled the OTA images off the official website if there was a big enough problem.
There have been reports of the OTA causing the black screen death, but I thinks it's just coincidental and the phone was going to die anyway. I decided I might as well get the repair/replacement over now before they end the extended warranty for it.

FWIW, mine got an update today and so went straight from Nov to Feb 5 patch level.

Thanks for the heads up. I just checked and my 5a is now preparing for system update.

You can ADB sideload updates, even on a locked bootloader, without wiping your device. If this ever happens again and you're months behind on the update, just sideload it rather than being at the mercy for Google to actually push out the update to your phone.

Yes, that's always an option, however, there was enough internet chatter about it being deliberately withheld, or causing issues with phones that I was reluctant to take that path.
Google's silence on these topics doesn't help.

It seems to be happening again in March - the phone does not find an update either manually or automatically. There are March images, Factory and Full OTA, available on Google's site though. I'm wondering if there is a reason to not install the update with Fastboot. This is all very odd.

What could be blocking firmware updates?

I have the SM-781U AT&T locked model. The last OTA update it's received was June 2022. Up until that point it got them like clockwork.
Anyone know of common things that could be preventing OTA updates? I may have disabled something that is needed, though as far as I remember, I hadn't really been disabling stuff since the first month or so I had the phone, in 2021.
I tried doing a logcat when requesting an update check, but nothing jumped out at me. If anyone has anything to look for there, I will try it again!

hello colleague
we are almost the same, I have G781U Unlocked. (TMB)
but all the updates I have to do by pc odin.
I'm about to install the February patch but with the DSH system.
I already tried with USC - TMB
but the updates via ota never arrive.

I had looked into the Odin method, didn't find AT&T G781U firmware (only G78U1) and I don't want to lose anything like hotspot, wifi calling, or visual voicemail, so I haven't taken that plunge yet.

if someone can say why not, we get the update via ota.

If you can not fisn the firmware on Frija or samfirm, it does not exist for your csc and/or model. You can flash another csc using Odin without disabling Knox.

Has anyone figured this out yet? My AT&T S20 FE SM-781U hasn't received an update for 13, not to mention, my last security patch was October last year.
Is there some sort of base Android 13 that can be downloaded and manually installed? If there is and I can find out how to install it, I will do it haha.

Not that I could find (Also, sorry about the slow to reply thing haha) It's driving me insane because
my last update of anything, was in Oct 2022 when I got Oct security update.
Seems like everyone is getting this update around the globe. I can't afford to buy a newer phone, so
I really want this one to last as long as possible. But I am pushing it to have so much important and
sensitive information, on a phone that hasn't updated the security in 6 months haha.
I haven't installed a custom Rom in years, all the way back in something like, Galaxy 7+ (I am not 100%
certain on that) and it would destroy me to brick my phone, or lose very important information.
With that said though... Are there custom Android 13 Roms floating around now? I am not very good at
navigating these forums and finding correct info. I'm older and have Early Onset Alzheimer's, which at the
moment, isn't to big of an issue. But, it does make tasks like these much harder than they use to be.
But I am desperate and I know I have got to get this updated for my security and welfare. As I said, there's
no way I can't afford another phone, not even used or refurbished. So, at the moment, I sorta have
my hands tied. I am sure there's a thread somewhere with the answers, but after weeks, I cannot find
a thread, speaking on this situation.
If someone could at least point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for the reply above.

If this device has more updates, but not in your region, just flash a different csc. Do you see any update with a different csc. I have some devices on android 9, so it’s rlly no biggie if there is no more.
