Sam Samuel,

I've got USB on the phone, but I don't get access through Explorer.

Do I just execute the above RUU...exe file on the PC or put file

RUU_Signed_0409.nbh

on the SD card et seq.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
that file, although it is an .exe file, is actually a zip.

to do an sd card flash

right click that file, and choose extract here, or perhaps unzip here, or unpack here, depending what archive program you have installed, if you cant see any options like that, install winrar or 7zip (theyre free)

It will extract to around 8 or so files, one of which, the biggest, is called RUU_signed.nbh and that is the actual rom file.

Take that file, rename it leoimg.nbh copy it to your sd card and reboot into bootloader, , teh flash should start automatically.

Or, since you have now connected to usb in bootlaoder, just double click

RUU_Leo_S_Orange_UK_3.14.61.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_ 2 .15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe

to run the flash over usb,

BUT

be aware that flashing this (or any 3.14) rom over usb whilst hspl is installed will mean it wont update the spl to 3.03.xxxx and so the rom wont work properly until you manually upgrade the spl to 3.03.xxxx using hspl4

no, you cant access teh filesystem whilst teh phone is in bootloader. This is why the update utility wont show you the 'from version' info, because it cant access the registry.
[HD2 General] Fuzz99:
Or would I find it easier to put the file "RUU_Signed_0409.nbh" on the SD card?

I don't know what 0409 means.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
0409 is the country code, not usually there, but nothing to worry about. yea you can do it sd card method if you like. it will only work if it is teh actual correct rom for teh phone, from sd card, , cant use hspl to get other stock roms on there with sd card.

If i were you tho i would have run the .exe as soon as 'serial' because 'usb' and i would know by now whether it works or not,,,, hehe.
[HD2 General] Fuzz99:
Thanks for all the advice.

I will try again tomorrow.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Just to add to this statement so people will better understand why Samsamuel phrased this this way. If you notice while in bootloader and the USB is present at the bottom of the screen, on your computer it is listed as HTC USB Sync.
[HD2 General] karonga2008:
Take the battery out and put the battery back on again. connect the usb to both phone and computer (2)hold the volume down button and press the phone power button . it will show USB Connection once it goes into magladr
[HD2 General] Fuzz99:
Once I understood that plugging in a USB cable while in HSPL and seeing Serial change to USB on the HD2, I was able to flash the Radio ROM and proceed with the installation of Android 2.3.

All appears to be working now.

Thanks for all the advice.

Hi

I am using Battery Status Pro on my Galaxy S

My friend is having problems with her galaxy s battery going flat even when not in use (I'll do another post about it)

but when i looked to get battery status pro it doesn't seem to exist anymore,

Can i still get it?

Is there a way of getting it off my phone?

Is there an alternative that has battery status as a number in the taskbar. and estimates for how much battery life is left fro each action "- video - music - surfing." (Like battery status pro has)

Cheers
[EVO 4G General] Adam1422:
If I dont use the upgrade on my other line before April I will lose it, so what phone should i get her:

The EVO shift

or

Nexus S

Please help!

Is there one that is hands down better than the other?
[EVO 4G General] blakeboys:
Id go nexus s. But could you just buy a phone and return it on day 29 for a different phone then on day 29 of that phone get a different phone then on day 29 of that phone get the Evo 3D? haha would that even work? :p
[EVO 4G General] wmdunn:
Sort of a "keyboard" decision. For me, I really prefer the on-screen kb. When is the Nexus supposed to be available ... does it meet your time frame?
[EVO 4G General] Brutus2TheMax:
You only return one phone. Say I get the Shift and return it on the 29th day for a Nexus S, I can't return the Nexus S.
[EVO 4G General] wrathx:
Well, I can't really speak to either of those, but my wife and I just joined Sprint last month and purchased two EVO's (not the Shift). She initially was questioning the phone, but was comfortable enough to try it for the first 30 days... she now absolutely loves the phone. :)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
your upgrade cannot be used on the nexus s as it will not be out by april 1st. im in the same boat as you man.
[EVO 4G General] Adam1422:
So do you think If I got her the shift that I would be able to return in within the 30 days and by then the nexus S will be out?
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
no idea? im buying the wp7 arrive and will hold onto it then sell when the nexus drops.
[EVO 4G General] Adam1422:
In your opinion the nexus s is the better of the two?
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
everybodies opinion will be different. but i think in a way yes, the battery life is proven better on the nexus, plus it gets all google updates first.
[Venue Pro General] richlee111:
In case you guys don't check the main WP7 forums on here, the Microsoft Nodo update is officially available and working. I am updating my phone right now as we speak.

All you have to do is plug your phone into your PC and use the Zune software to update. It should automatically detect and ask for you to update.

Here's a link to a brief write-up on how to do this:

[Venue Pro General] NeverSummer07:
I checked at 3:50PM and still no update for my DVP Unlocked US T-Mobile.

Currently shows Your phone is up to date version 7.0 (7004)
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
just plugged in, no update yet. it is probably being pushed out in phases. cool that yours is updating, thanks for letting us know!
[Venue Pro General] Crimson Lotus:
US DVP will most likely be LAST! :mad:
[Venue Pro General] richlee111:
NO UPDATE YET GUYS. MY BAD.

I got some responses back from both the Microsoft Windows Phone Support and Dell Support. Microsoft says that they don't know when we will get it. Only that it will be before the end of the month. Dell support said that they don't know either.

This just boils down to the fact that for us here in the states, and as far as the Dell Venue Pro is concerned, the update release is in T-Mobile's hands.
[Venue Pro General] Kloc:
I just want to know if it will fix the problems with wi-fi connections.
[Venue Pro General] Arcarsenal:
What's included in the update (emphasis mine), courtesy of Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/update-history.aspx
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Looks like NoDo may update DVP firmware (105->202) and radio software (15->18), assuming this phone had the same revisions as mine:

from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12297681&postcount=34
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Funny how only one person has reported getting the update, no one else with a US device has reported getting an update.
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
According to his profile he is in India.
[Venue Pro General] piaqt:
So's MS tech support. :p
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
What's the amount of RAM showing as now?
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Thanks. So that would confirm that our update is being held hostage by T-Mobile.
[Venue Pro General] amapeen88:
And I was so excited to read the news on engadget's website, only to be disappointed...

I'm okay with getting late updates as long as I get one but I really hope DOJ does not approve the AT&T buying Tmobile. I HATE AT&T.:p
[Venue Pro General] varunverma:
does that mean he bought his phone from India or his live ID has indian address?

I am from India as well with T-Mo (unlocked ) and Live ID with US address to access marketplace.
[Venue Pro General] Crimson Lotus:
Is there anyway to Debrand the DVP? I think we would receive the update sooner.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
no access to registry...yet
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
Anyone with non-carrier DVP who is willing to volunteer to help in getting the nodo update un-branded?

Basically this is what i need:

A Non Carrier DVP which has not been updated to NoDo, but is eligible or being prompted for. (or) A Non Carrier DVP which has been updated to NoDo, but is willing to reset the device to have it updated again thru my steps.

What will i do:

The user needs to install Wireshark and capture the log for Microsoft servers and send me the same. I can then figure out the direct path to the download.

Let me know and i will PM the details.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Any idea if any future hacks would allow us to backup our text messages?
[Venue Pro General] hipzilla:
Why is it that we have to wait for T-Mobile to (eventually) give the ok for an update? Why didn't MS just make it so we plug our phones in, hit Zune update and everything does its thing?

Reading the Twitter updates about Euro T-Mobile pushing the update at the end of April is a little disheartening. There's no telling when US T-Mobile will push the update...
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Updated info from Microsoft at http://wpcentral.com/microsoft-posts-nodo-update-status-page-comes-clean-process

Basically no firm date for update on DVP.
[Venue Pro General] Hypernova:
From microsoft, looks like Dell has done its part and we're actually closer on relative scale.

Umm, looks like I can't post link..

microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-schedule-usa.aspx
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
According to that, we should see it within 10 days. Maybe that rumor of this Friday was right.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
scheduling vs delivery

i can't have been the only one that read that

[Venue Pro General] fathamburger:
I am using an unlocked Tmo model in Canada not seeing it either.

Yeah this is a mess. The state of things in North America with the carriers is a joke
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
No exact dates are posted for any of the updates, but this page was good enough to tell us T-Mobile isn't stone walling us.

We don't have the update yet because of Microsoft is all that page says. Dell and T-Mobile testing are both done and confirmed.
[Venue Pro General] pessimistic observer:
I hope microsoft is learning from this experience and that the next update will be given to carriers well in advance of the expected delivery date. I also hope the next update is sooner than 7 months from now, as in prior to mango, and is an interum update with more bug fixes and 1 or 2 feature additions or refinements
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
what makes you think they didn't give the updates out for testing in a reasonable time?

Think about what you read everywhere. MS claims the testing of the update should take no more than 10 days. They released the NODO update on the 22nd. last night they release that TMO is finished. Either TMO is very good or.....they had the update prior to the release date. Ok..so that was a trick question.

I simply think we hold Microsoft to different rules....by their own fault or ours.

When Google releases an update....how soon does it, if it hits....the different Android phones out there.

Remember all the phones you've updated in the past 2-3 yrs. Weren't we always at the mercy of the Carrier and when they released it? Usually ONLY those people that purchased the Open Market phones were able to get the updates directly from the HTC's of the world....the rest of waited.

But now we hold Microsoft directly responsible. Maybe they deserve it for past crimes against humanity....but if we hold them directly responsbile for these updates, I'm sure we will hold Google directly responsible for its Froyo's and Gingerbreads and Honeycombs and whatevers.....right?? :rolleyes:
[Venue Pro General] amapeen88:
THANK YOU!!

I don't know why people are so eager to blame MS for every little things.

developer unlocking

has anyone successfully developer unlocked there phone yet

wmpoweruser has a step by step article that works on alot of

phones

wmpoweruser.com/samsung-focus-nodo-how-to/

they claim once this is done its easier to get your update judging from

comments its working for some of the lg and htc phones
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
could if we would...no native registry access and the registry r/w isn't working...dell really screwed the pooch here
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
Not really. We are on the list to get the update first for carrier devices as Dell and T-Mobile signed off on it very early. So I think we need to give Dell some credit for not stalling our official NoDo release.

If we get it today as scheduled than the hacks weren't all the useful to use anyway. AT&T Users need the hacks as their updates aren't scheduled for who knows when!
[Venue Pro General] yipcanjo:
So, no one has been able to get the "force NoDo update via Hungary" hack to work on the Dell Venue Pro?

I've got an LG Optimus 7, personally, but my DVP-owning co-worker is absolutely maniacal for copy & paste on his phone! :)
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Some HD7 owners on tmonews are reporting getting an update, but its just the Feb preNodo update. Probably have to wait weeks for the nodo update itself. Whatever happened to the updates being cumulative?
[Venue Pro General] pessimistic observer:
one of the commentors in the wmpoweruser post is saying nodo came down shortly after there prenodo. most owners however have only gotten pre nodo

heres hoping nodo starts rolling out more frequently by endofbusiness day
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
Feb. Update here as well.
[Venue Pro General] domineus:
YAY I HAVE AN UPDATE

...oh wait, its prenodo...

[Venue Pro General] NeverSummer07:
I got back to back updates for DVP TMo US, just finished updating to NoDo ~3:15pm.
[Venue Pro General] grigsby1:
Just feb....update
[Venue Pro General] jon654:
I updated my DVP to NoDo today using the Hungary Hack. It updated the OS but did not touch the firmware of the device. The phone still had WiFi issues and only 225MB Ram.

So when the offical NoDo update comes out I am going to restore the phone back and then re-update.
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
reply only have prenodo. Let me hook up again and see if I can get another update

[Venue Pro General] BISDAKinLA:
So I guess the nodo update didn't fix our wifi issues. should I swap my sd card with a new one before updating?
[Venue Pro General] umc1101:
I can also confirm the nodo update. After seeing the posts on this thread, I updated to the pre-nodo through the Zune software, then unplugged and replugged the DVP and the Zune software immediately went to the nodo update screen. The nodo update does ta a while ... maybe 20 minutes or so in total.

BTW, I live in the Baltimore area.
[Venue Pro General] NeverSummer07:
I guess it depends on the amount of stuffs you put in there. My preNoDo took ~10 minutes and NoDo took <15 minutes. These also included the auto backup processes.
[Venue Pro General] Monkyyy:
Can someone confirm that you are still able to use tethering after the NoDo update?
[Venue Pro General] richlee111:
Info on updating your dell venue pro for u.s. Owners:

Here is a quick rundown on the update situation and what is going on:

.5) Make sure you have the latest updated Zune software before doing anything else!

1) February pre-update: Get that first. If you have not done so already, it will be the first update you do. How do you get it? Plug your DVP into your PC and have your Zune software detect it. Once that is done, go to the phone and select update in the menu. Again, if you have not done this before, then this update is the pre-update and not the Nodo.

2) Nodo update is rolling out starting today(3/30). I received confirmation from the chief blogger for Dell support, who stated that this is going on now. If you do not get the update notification on your phone, plug in your DVP and see if Zune will have the update for you.

3) There is suppose to be another phone update coming to the DVP. This one is direct from Dell and is suppose to fix some DVP specific issues. What fixes are in there we do not know right now. The response I received is that another update is coming from Dell and when that is they have not said either. Stay tuned.

Where can I go to keep up to date on the upcoming update and any other information?

Twitter: Suggest you follow @LionelatDell (chief blogger), @DellCares

Dell Community Forum: Its a forum/blogging site for Dell support(look in Mobile Devices area). The site is kind of clunky, but if there is info on the last update, it should be here. Link- http://ow.ly/4pqLZ

Great post, I called T-Mo last night and the rep told me that it was going to be 24 hours between updates too. Good to see someone else got the same information. Maybe this will stop the complaining for a while...

I just saw the new on phonearena.com and open up zune, got notification says update is availiable. I run the update in zune and phone completed update and reboot. no new interface, new visual difference. I plugged in zune again, it says it is latest.

no copy and paste, no any change at all. is this NoDo update or a seperate update?
[Venue Pro General] pjfan75:
Same here.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Anyone tried the latest hack posted in the WP7 general forum?
[Venue Pro General] Kloc:
Not going to try that method because if there are any venue pro fixes in that update we won't get them if we do it the way posted in the general forum.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
The latest method just directs to disconnect your pc internet connection, should be pulling the correct update I would think. No VPN connections at all, but I understand your point.
[Venue Pro General] 937dytboi:
Dayton, Ohio

Just got home hooked up at 4:45 and no NoDo update for me, its saying im up to date

[Venue Pro General] fistertondeluxe:
I did this with my HD7 and it worked and I recieved the NoDo update. I tried with my wife's Venue Pro and it also said that an update was available, but halfway through step 7, where a backup is being made of the phone, the phone reboots and gets hung at the Dell logo and the updater errors out with the C10100007 error code. I've tried several times and still get the same thing. I did notice that the timing of turning off my internet connection was just a bit longer with the Dell than the HD7 and took a couple tries to get the timing right.

Do let me know if you dont trust me and need a screen shot ;)

Did the new hack and now have the March update.
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
No need.. The exact thing happened to me :)
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
Tried it a number of ways and never works for me. That said my computer is hard wired to the router and I have Fios.. or is there something I am missing.

Tried to diconnect via disabliing the net card and by pulling the cable from the router niether worked.
[Venue Pro General] citrix80:
installed update successful but no copy paste. why?
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
I was using wireless on my laptop and have a switch to turn it on and off so that helped. Also had both update options selected on the phone. I'm not impressed though, seems to have made it even more unstable, IE has crashed more times since the update last night than ever before, and not seeing noticeable speed increase in apps, apart from scrolling MP. Maybe its my Class 2 sd card causing these issues but I cant change it since there is no way to backup my text messages and I really want to keep them.
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
You got the Feb update but not hte March one yet.
[Venue Pro General] cdgoin:
Did the update via VPN, that seemed to work. Now to see if its become less stable.

Mine is a 8GB version and been very stable since I first got it.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Someone sent me a message on twitter that he too is experiencing more instability after updating to nodo, keep us posted if you see any issues.
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
Keep us posted. I'm inclined to delay NoDo rollout on my other two DVPs until the firmware update hits. I never had stability issues prior to NoDo and they are here now.

Yea that sounds like me. I'm looking forward to the firmware fix message Dell is claiming to be posting to their blog today.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Ha, didnt realise it was you on here as well. Hope we get more than the usual "more info soon" post.
