Hi there, an Optimus 7 owner here, with EU-Open firmware, originally TIM-Italy branded.

Got the 7008 update the day it was released... still no NoDo update for me.

I thought there was some logic about this update release, but after reading the stories here... my god, I will just give up and wait for it someday... maybe before year's end I will receive it... ahahha shame on you Microsoft.

PS: I don't think that they don't release to everyone (with EU-Open at least) because of server capacity... I mean, if Apple can release it at the same time for theirs MILLIONS of users, why can't MS for a couple hundred thousand maybe (with EU-Open, again...)???

It is obviously that they are scared to death about having something similar to the Feb update mess, when some phones got bricked. Probably in that update they release it to everyone with EU-Open at the same time... and regret it. Now they are releasing just for a "randomly select" few, and seeing what's happening... Anyway, I'm just wondering what will happen in the future, when there will be A LOT more phone models out there (hopefully?) and the update process will get only more and more complex... Maybe at that point will be literally a year before EVERYONE gets the update?
[Optimus 7 General] iperpiego:
Well, its hard to say so to microsoft... remember the various service pack or all the patch of windows xp, vista, 7... and remember that google don't release android newer version directly but let HTC, SAMSUNG, LG and the other do the wetwork... too easy... apple have only one device so its easy... i must admit that they should stay silent and launch the update without such hype... but its all about marketing...
[Optimus 7 General] slipknot28:
You will not believe but even today there are no NODO update for me. HAHAHA!

Best Regards.

Like for me :( f.ck :(
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
I have just tried VPN to USA and to HUNGARY with no success. Badly Zune does not obey default proxy setting in Windows so it is hard to try with TOR, maybe later I will do some try via TOR.

Guys, has anybody tried to call Microsoft support asking for WP7 update and telling story "my brother with same hardware, same operator and same configuration got update, but me not". I wonder if they has some explanation.
[Optimus 7 General] mrTablet:
With Windows, they manage this, even with lots of different hardware!?
[Optimus 7 General] Yakkaimono:
Just got the update through this method from the Omnia 7 forum.:D

Worked on the first try with my european open E900.
[Optimus 7 General] pasp1001:
what about MFG?? can u tell us does it work??
[Optimus 7 General] Yakkaimono:
MFG hack is working!:D

Deployer gives me the standard error but the app is still being deployed and works on the phone.

Didn't try the MaxUnsignedApp hack yet. Will do later but should work also.
[Optimus 7 General] renegadEEE:
For the ones with an Unlocked device, wait no longer: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011663

Works for me. I'm updating right now!
[Optimus 7 General] pasp1001:
YES!!!!! Thank you GREATLY for the news... i also thought that MFG would work and as u say probably many of the hacks can be also applied... Well, i tried to get the nodo with ALL the methods found here on xda, but no luck... I think the key thing is OPEN ROM, which i aint got the time to put these days, maybe for the weekend...

Anyway, GREAT NEWS and another PLUS for optimus-7 as a device...:p
[Optimus 7 General] slipknot28:
Another stupid attempt to update NODO that does not work. I do not understand how people come to these stupid ideas. It would be good to even stand on one leg and we scratch our head to do the update. :mad:
[Optimus 7 General] jgcaap:
i've got a open rom, and no luck with nodo update :(
[Optimus 7 General] doministry:
I'm in Poland and no NoDo here for me..
[Optimus 7 General] blacksoul0:
Worked with my Optimus 7.
[Optimus 7 General] ne0cr0n:
WORKS!!! :D
[Optimus 7 General] blacksoul0:
But how do you deploy apps with it?
[Optimus 7 General] banvetor:
Thanks! Followed the steps on the post you linked to and it worked! Updating right now ;)

Finally... stupid MS for not enabling this to everyone in the first place... I'm wondering if they are seeing a sudden surge in WP7 phones from Hungary checking for updates and getting one? hehehe
[Optimus 7 General] Yakkaimono:
Just use the Tom XAP Installer.
[Optimus 7 General] plushack_lodz:
At last! I've got a nodo update.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
For those without Data, try this:

1. Debranded to 000-88

2. Follow instructions posted everywhere, but this time turn off data connection and use Wi-fi instead. (For those without Data)

3. Time Zune Update while Data Connection is off and Wi-fi is off until it gets the error code (when Zune times out or network error comes up).

4. Get the time and now turn on Wi-fi, and wait until it connects.

5. Check for update again.

5. Now turn off Wi-fi a second earlier than what you had timed before.
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
Have you been waiting till 6am to test it?

Can you explain what instruction do you mean?
[Optimus 7 General] f0xxxz:
He means these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12459706&postcount=15

March update installing now tried 10+ times and nothing

changed branding from "" to "000-88" worked on 3rd attempt its all in the timing!
[Optimus 7 General] L-Dani:
When I update to NODO will all my Homebrew apps get uninstalled or are they just getting deactivated?

I know now that I can unlock the phone with MFG after I have updated but I really don't want to lose all the data.

I hope you can help! :D
[Optimus 7 General] __ow:
Should the unlock registry value be reset, all that will happen is that when you try to launch a sideloaded app the famed "revoked by MS" message box will pop up. As long as you don't press OK, but rather the back button, your apps will live to see another day.
[Optimus 7 General] mrjetking:
Worked great for me ;o)

Good update - just hope we get a few other goodies before Mango as that's a while off.

Now if Adobe could get their finger out and release flash for WP7...
[Optimus 7 General] slipknot28:
I finally managed to install the NODO update, but with WIFI method.
[Optimus 7 General] djdurance:
NoDo updated here using above method! :)

on TELUS branded device.
[Optimus 7 General] pasp1001:
well, thanks to hungary:p (and all the 'magical tricks" from the members here and all the superstition tricks like slipknot28 sad - standin on 1 leg and counting to 1000:)...) i'm finally on NODO with all the homebrews intact...

i had a rough time though- got it on the 3rd time after turning my wifi off after 25-30sec, but than it didnt d/loaded with some error reporting (probably because i had .ipk still on or wifi still off...)

then it took me another 3 attempts and strangely the phone always sad theres an update but zune couldnt find... Everything same as before(25-30sec)

+MY PHONE IS CARRIER BRANDED so that probably doesnt make all that much difference... Although its not locked(never was)

Yes nodo is supersmooth- still a long way to go for this OS but hopefully the initial jokes bout 10000 lawyers at the bottom of the ocean are thing of the past...:p
[Optimus 7 General] isavoro:
just the same for me. used the hack enabling wifi on the phone and turning it off after about 15 secs from the beginning of the scan. MFG works, developer unlock by MFG too! way better from 7.0. I'm now quite satisfied..
[Optimus 7 General] elektryk:
For me this trick help to get NODO

I wouldnt be so happy, there is no tool to block crazy advertisemens, so lack of flash support is like blessing.
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
I didn't loose any of my homebrew apps ... and the unlock is still in place. However, you must set the dev unlock, AND the values that prevent relock BEFORE updating...look in the dev forum for Optimus 7 for what I mean.
[Optimus 7 General] plushack_lodz:
Hi guys. I've got something strange after update nodo. From time to time my phone restarts. I did factory reset and I will see it was solution a issue. My first comment to nodo is to many waiting so less function ;-) But copy/paste is very useful
[Optimus 7 General] trinits:
Did the update yesterday! It worked directly! Phone is really faster now and the copy/paste really easy to use!

Thx
[Optimus 7 General] kapanak:
I never realized copy paste was so needed in the 4 & 1/2 months owning this phone...
[Optimus 7 General] k2reefa:
NoDo update

well got my phone back from Voda it was sent away for bluetooth repair(see how long this one lasts) it did not have the latest update, but attatched it to laptop and booom zoon says there is an update :)

so Vodafone UK are rolling out the (Official) update
[Optimus 7 General] ghynett:
Updated today (NoDo, Vodafone Italy). All it works perfectly. :-)
[Optimus 7 General] Chris1328:
NoDo Update - Vodafone Germany

I got the notification at about 20:30 last night.

Updated OK with no problems
[Optimus 7 General] xdapants:
got nodo with nohacks on telus earlier this week :)
[Optimus 7 General] inscythe:
I just updated my Optimus 7 to NoDo after debranding. Weird, since I got the phone in Singapore, but the phone itself is branded Optus Australia. NoDo in Singapore has been authorized.....
[Nook Color General] zacharyk:
Hey everyone-

This is my first post here but I've frequented for awhile. I'm currently using a rooted nc 1.0.1 with the latest cwm version. I've decided to bite the bullet and put ginger on since all of the awesome bluetooth business, but I have a simple question- I am definitely down with learning all this sd card reformatting business for cm7, but if I'm looking to install phiremod straight from rooted 1.0.1, can I simply flash the zip after backing up? Do I need to prepare anything?
[Nook Color General] zacharyk:
Bwahaha question answered. Currently booting that sheit.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RafficaX:
UPDATE: To fix 3.0.2.4 from not formatting /system

Open rom manager and select settings, and check erase recovery. hit menu again and select clear cache, then flash 3.0.2.4 again.

now if your in recovery and you cant boot back up to use rom manager, use the file below. It will allow you to restore your backup then once booted back up use the method above to fix 3.0.2.4.

The reason im leaving custom over 3.0.2.4 is bc i know fastboot flash with this one will allow you to restore without wiping recovery or clear cache or anything else.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/b8ejhqbf3tgnsoe/recovery.img - this is CMW 3.0.1.4 just altered for installing zips. linking for people needing a recover img to boot up

To install:

1. If in recovery, open ur terminal on ur pc and type adb reboot boatloader

2. Once in bootloader it will load fast boot and say fastboot usb in red

3. cd to the folder with fastboot.exe and also place recover.img in that folder

4. then enter fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

5. adb reboot recovery

6. restore your backup and boot up
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jlevy73:
Oh how I miss Amon_Ra
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RafficaX:
im really hoping Amon_Ra does do his recovery on T-Bolt. I like Rom Manager and its features but would rather loose features for stability and reliability on each use.

can't wait for amon-ra
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
raffica, what version of CWM worked for you?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RafficaX:
A custom compiled one :) 3.0.1.4, working on porting The Ultimate Droid to T-bolt so blackdroid also compiled cwm to make sure it would install the zip but has working restore. i messaged koush on cwm twitter about the issue so hopefully he fixes it quickly. only problem is the one im running you need to flash through fastboot with adb.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Old MuckenMire:
Thanks for the heads up :) I agree I always loved CWM on my N1 but it started giving me all kinds of grief for several different reasons so I finally went to Amon Ra.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jgrimberg1979:
Can you help me out and provide it because right now i cant even boot
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superchilpil:
isnt UD banned on these forums?

just curious dont flame me or anything! cuz when a Ud rom hit the inc the thread was deleted in minutes
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nosympathy:
yeah, if you go on their forums all they do is flame XDA left and right. But I find it funny since their roms take advancements from XDA developers and then they incorporate it into their roms...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superchilpil:
See that's what I thought, but wasn't sure
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jeffnucci:
Yes Clockwork 3.0.2.4 is borked on Thunderbolt. I've been helping people on AndIRC's thunderbolt channel all day. Install 3.0.2.2, it's given me no problems.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] lynseyw:
I ran into the same problem. I tried to do a restore and got stuck. I used an sd card reader and put the 3rd file from the root thread PG05IMG.zip on the root of my sd card. I then put the card back in. Rebooted into recovery holding the volume down and the power button. It reflashed the file automatically and I followed the steps from 7 on to regain root. Worked for me, but now I have to start over. Hopefully they will get CWM working again. I will be much more careful about what I delete from now on. I think I will freeze it in TiBackup first to make sure everything is still working correctly. Hope this helps.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Old MuckenMire:
This is the exact procedure I used when the same thing happened on my N1
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RafficaX:
i added the recovery.img i used to OP with instructions for those stuck in recovery or bootloader.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Latest Rom manager is 3.0.1.3 sorry if I am missing something I am a bit of a clockwork noob.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RafficaX:
Newest Rom Manager is 3.0.1.3 but the newest ClockworkMod Recovery for the tbolt is 3.0.2.4

Under flash clockworkmod recovery it stats the current and latest recovery.

My battery died and am in the same position. Got an expensive paperweight at the moment. I'll try to get another battery today and give this a try. After fooling around with it last night, the computer wouldn't even recognize the phone. Ughh!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
Good call just checked and 3.2 does wipe date and cache properly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
Where did you get 3.2? 3.0.2 you mean?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] miketoasty:
From what I read 3.2.0.4 works fine. But maybe I heard wrong. I heard that on the AndIRC chat.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
Where are you getting 3.2.0.4? Its 3.0.2.4
[Thunderbolt Android Development] craighwk:
I'm betting that's what he meant.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
how do you boot into recovery on the TB? on the droid you held x on the keyboard while you turned the phone on...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jdk2:
Power on the phone while holding the volume down toggle.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
thank you sir..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pinhead875:
Or reboot into CWR via Rom Manager.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] MYxdaUSERNAME:
^ i was thinking more for if I get a bootloop from flashing something...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PJnc284:
or just turn the phone off and plug the phone into a power source. Goes right to cwm every time. lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ikithme:
In recovery mount system data card and cache. Then do the following command in adb:

"/system/bin/wipe system" will wipe system

"/system/bin/wipe data" will wipe data

"/system/bin/wipe all" will wipe both.

Have fun.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dickenam:
Does it do that on purpose?? I don't understand. Infuriating me for the last ~20 min.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jeffnucci:
I've been on AndIRC chat the least two days and last night I helped a bunch of people go from .2.4 to .2.2 because YES IT IS BORKED. I know I'm getting pissy but my chat history on my computer speaks for itself. I've had no end of problems with it.

To answer another question I saw a few posts ago, I installed 3.0.2.2 with the last option in ROM Manager, which lets you choose which version you'd like to use. I also have a recovery img for 3.0.2.0 that I've been having people fastboot to get back to a working recovery, then having them update to .2.2 in ROM Manager.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
I always get errors formatting data etc... what a pain.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] PJnc284:
heck if I know. There's a thread in the General Thunderbolt forum on it. First it was said that you needed to power off while unplugged and then it was apparently said in IRC last night that that's just the way it does since it's an "emmc-boot phone with a custom recovery". Wasn't in there to see the full explanation.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] scottricketts:
Thanks for the heads up, just rolled back to 3.0.2.2. Haven't flashed anything just yet, but glad I went through this thread.

Yes, very much wanting to see Amon_RA do a recovery for this. He seems to be fond of HTC hardware.

People, click on the link above if you haven't already!

I had made a nand backup then started modding things and trying tweaks from different ROMs to see what worked and what didn't...

And guess what? I BROKE SOMETHING!

No to worry, I have a nand backup...

WRONG! I booted into recovery and restored (I new something was wrong because it was really fast), when I rebooted I couldn't get past the 1st white HTC screen.

I ended up re-installing the ROM to get the phone to boot again.

After reading this and applying the patch from the link above, I tried restoring from the backup that I had previously done and it worked perfectly!

All is good now, thank you dbu.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Lipmonger:
The boot into recover when power-chord is attached is driving me nuts too. No bump charge... gah!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Hemorrdroid:
I was having the same issues, had a backup that i coudlnt restore, kept getting "error formatting /system" and it would only go to the white HTC boot logo.

I couldnt manually format /data, /system or anything, this was running 3.0.2.4.

I was told to go to Rom manager, menu, clear download cache, then menu, settings, checkmark "Erase Recovery" then go back and reflash 3.0.2.4.

After that go to menu, settings, and uncheck "Erase recovery"

Reboot into recovery

This has me up and running. Was then able to restore the backups i had made, and i can now format /system etc.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Magnus_CA:
Is everyone that has this problem using CWR 3.0.2.4?

Are 3.0.2.2 users reporting this as well?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbu:
Read the post above yours and follow the directions at the end and you shouldn't have any more issues...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] barcodelinux:
That worked for me. Thanks for the heads up.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] masInvasion:
Yea the current version works as long as you clear download cache and checkmark erase recovery
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Magnus_CA:
I found and followed those instructions immediately after installing ROM Manager. I just tried it again and I'm still having the same problem. If my TB is off and I plug in the power cord it charges for like 5 seconds and then the light goes off and it boots into recovery.

CWR 3.0.2.2 is doing the same thing. :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] doodoostains:
Same for me. Pretty annoying but, oh well!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] evilmunkeh:
lol this annoys me
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mkohn:
This happens for me as well. Even after erasing recovery and reflashing 3.0.2.4
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mzimand:
If you Check Fast Boot in the Power Settings it will not reboot into cwm when you turn it off
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mkohn:
In settings it says "Turn off to use some Market apps" What would Fast Boot do to market apps?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LovellKid:
CWM wont flash for me.. just boots me back into fastboot everytime. Any ideas?

Thank you. This worked wonders.

Also, thanks to OP, save me from having to start from scratch.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Morder Chemiker:
Just ran into a problem tonight while using 3.0.2.2 even saw this 2 days ago and went through everything. Having problems formatting /data so cant revert to backups. Time to start fresh.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] fronc:
So is 3.0.2.4 working normal now, or is an older version of CWR required still?

If 3.0.2.4 (latest) is fixed, the OP should edit the first post.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ProTekk:
3.0.2.4 is confirmed working. Clear download cache within ROM Manager and check "Erase Recovery" in ROM Manager as well. Reflash and you're good.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] bamaredwingsfan:
But can you still boot into cwr if need be? Also, has anyone had a problem partitioning their SD card with cwr?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
So yesterday I fully charged, wiped battery stats, and proceeded to let the battery drain to 0 for a full cycle. It shut itself off somewhere around 4am (15% alert woke me up around 2). About 5am I woke up, the phone was off so I plugged it into the charger and CWR opened up. 5am, didn't care, just put the phone to sleep and let it charge.

Just now, I took the phone off the charger (green charge light) powered off, and plugged it back into the charger for a bump charge and CWR did NOT start up.

So, it seems now that if you power off your phone and charge CWR will not open.

If the phone dies due to dead battery, CWR starts up.

IDK......
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Magnus_CA:
Note: this does not fix the issue with the TB booting into CWR when power is off and you attempt to charge. At least for myself and a few others anyway. Only enabling fast boot seems to fix it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Magnus_CA:
The amount of juice in the battery doesn't seem to matter for me. Power off + fast boot disabled + power cord = self boot into CWR.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] RafficaX:
OP is updated for 3.0.2.4 fix and left original file in case your stuck in recover or bootloader and need to fastboot flash a recovery. i left my file bc i now through fastboot it will flash and restore so you can reboot and use RM to install 3.0.2.4 and get it working.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] martouf13:
I spoke to jcase regarding this a few days ago because it happens to me. He looked into it and found that its something that HTC did. The phone will boot a non-rooted phone into stock recovery the same way except the screen remains black so you don't know it. It's not a bug.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Magnus_CA:
I'll take your word for it, however, the big difference would be the phone actually charges in stock recovery. So perhaps booting into CWR recovery isn't a bug but not being able to charge while there is a problem.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Bimmer323:
Just trying to understand this, are you tweaking 3.0.2.4 and we are simply downloading a new version?

Check Erase Recovery - erases the old recovery image when new one is installed.

Clear Cache - erases the original 3.0.2.4 in the download cache

Update to new recovery - installs new "tweaked" 3.0.2.4?

Thanks!
