[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Not just quoting you here,but yes NoDo is a test. Pre Nodo was to check the update system. NoDo will present any issues with how apps handle feature upgrades and how handsets will handle new features.

Again, I totally agree that it sucks it takes so long to get these features. But I would rather MS invest time into developing HTML5, providing dev access to new APIs and in-browser silverlight, not speeding up marketplace and adding C&P.

Developers and development is finite. Its easy for us to say "just put more devs on the case" but Microsoft is a business! They have weighed up consumer patience against how many devs they need and this is what they have come up with.

Bottom line, its frustrating for the minority of us, but they know what they are doing.

To Omnia 7 users....

try reflashing the rom... it worked with me :)

1. Reflash

2. Connecto to Zune (no live setup or sim inserted)

3. Update to pre nodo

4. Reboot, update to Nodo

5. Setup live id, and sim card inserted.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
This didn't work for me. What ROM did you use to flash? I tried XENJK1 from samfirmwares.com
[Windows Phone 7 General] vmoreira:
I used XENJK1.

Other detail, I used a laptop that did not have zune, and the location was set to Portugal.

I was afraid that my laptop was saving some kind of information...
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
Didn't Telus say that updates would start on the 29? I believe one of the UK carriers also said the 29, my speculation is that the non throttled push will begin on the 29.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hibbityhobbes:
Got the pre-nodo (7008) on my Focus. I had to unbrand my phone from ATT first. Who wants to wait for there slow a$$ to decide when to give me an update? Not this guy. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] uristic:
Ok... I've tried restoring my phone, put SIM out first, no live id and on my mum's computer with freshly installed zune but it was a NoGo =P

Though I haven't flashed my phone with XE firmware, I have XX and 7008 allready on (regular update) becouse I don't wanna' play with flashing, but the XX firmware is EU too and the phone is not branded.

I emailed all these addys. Someone from AT&T called me back. After I reiterated that "in testing" is suit-speak for "we'd rather sell you a new one" a few times, they offered me a 1-month's service credit and said they'd pass my "gimme nodo" up the food chain.

To me,that sounds like a bribe, hence an admission of guilt. So they've got until the freebie runs out to update my phone. Then, I go carrier shopping if it's still not there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wheelerk:
What did you use to unbrand it? And is it still unbranded? I did the same and got the pre-nodo also, but I have not gotten the nodo. Thanks.

Benefit to posting your carrier/country when you get the update is that other people will know they should be getting it then too.

i own the samsung omnia 7 and when i plugged the phone into the pc, zune didnt update it with the pre nodo update. then i heard there were problems and it all went a bit quiet, then i hear that the pre update will be included in the nodo, so nows its available, i plug my phone in once again, and i get nothing. I am in UK england, and the carrier is Orange. anyone else have this issue???

[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
They might want to weigh consumer patience against sales. The reason to support the hardcore users is that they're often opinion leaders. While you can't rely on hardcore user satisfaction to percolate over to mass acceptance, you also can't discount it.

Also, I was just over at Microsoft Commons yesterday for lunch. Maybe they don't think that smartphones and tablets are all that important, because clearly they have the manpower to move things a little faster if they chose to.

I also don't think it's related to the country, because folks in america that have or made a phone open market have also received NoDo afaik.

A guy on Twitter told me he has received NoDo on his Optimus 7 in America, anyhow neither me, nor the other 4 Optimus 7 owners I know could update.

Nodo on German Omnia 7

CRAZY! I got Nodo:D I needed to try it one thousand times!-.-

my Phone:

Omnia 7

T-Mobile

Germany

This worked for me:

-I flashed JK1 firmware (2424.10.11.1) (needed an usb-jig to enter download mode on my phone)

-connected phone to zune

-received pre-Nodo update

-powered off phone

-removed sim

-reset phone(hold down camera-button and volumedown while powering on)

-set up device. don't enter live id, don't allow data connections, set language to english(uk), set date and time

-disabled wlan on phone

-changed my PCs language to finland

-changed my PCs time-format to english(indian)

-then I installed anonymizer software cyberGhost VPN on my pc

-connected to a german cyberghost server

-connected phone to pc

-no update found while setting up phone in zune

-manually checked for update in zune

-update found and message popped up on phone simultaneously

-installed update

-re-inserted sim

-enabled data connection

I know... its a long list, but I tried it very often the last days und only this solution worked. I think the most important thing was the vpn connection...but...the vpn server was in the same country as me. Also important(I think): no sim and no live id. I don't know if the language of phone and pc are important... but I changed them and now I have nodo.

have fun!

(I love nodo;))

With the pre update on the Focus, did the firmware show an update or just the OS. Wondering if Samsung included any firmware updates. Same question with NoDo on the Focus. Samsung has been slow to update on other platforms. I'm curious to find out if they'll be as "timely" as MS with updates.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
Just try it out?
[Windows Phone 7 General] toothfish:
I did, zune software kept saying it cant find update service because it cant connect to the internet
[Windows Phone 7 General] yfbc:
You should be connected to your normal internet service and the PPTP at the same time,

turn wi-fi off on your phone,

then connect and update,

during update disable the mobile data connection on the phone after about 15-20 seconds
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Worked for me too :D.
[Windows Phone 7 General] toothfish:
Thats exactly what i did.

But zune always says "cant check for updates right now. Please try again later" (make sure your computer is connected to the internet and try again - 80072eff)

Strangely, i can search marketplace apps and movies just fine with zune.

Maybe i have to tweak the firewall settings or something?

I'd tried about hundred times but I couldn't get it this morning.

But after I flashed with the rom which is XEN I8700XENJK1(Unbranded Omnia 7),

an update message came up in the zune :)

The updating took about 20 mins and it's much faster than before.

Brifely, very stable, very fast and copy & paste is the best compared with other OS.

(I had used many OS such as iOS, Android, Blackberry OS, WM6.5 and Maemo)

Can't believe this works I had already tried a VPN to other countries to try and get it.

Better Way To Do The Timing

An alternative easier way for the timing (at least for me) I found was. Start the update and press at the top of your phone screen to get the signal strength and connection bar. Wait for it to say 3G+ count to 5 and disconnect data. Worked first time for me.
