[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smurph82:
First off yes I know that the Evo's is power hungry but not like this. Ok I rooted my phone a few weeks back and have loved it ever since. i used Unrevoked v3.32 and have Amon-Ra v2.3 isntalled. I have titanium backup, root explorer, SuperUser 2.3.6.1 from chainDD, and wireless tether installed. With just those installed everything is like normal. This is where is started having trouble and don't know if it was me or if anyone else has had the same issues. I installed ShootMe, and QuickBoot. Then I installed the DesktopClock from CM6 and renamed the HTCLockScreen.apk tp HTCLockScreen.apk_bak so I would have the stock Android lock screen and an alarm clock that would work. That worked.Then I went into the system/app and removed Swype.apk as well as system/lib and removed libSwypeCore.so. Then I rebooted the phone and installed the Swype beta and had that up and running. Then about two days went by with no problem, when on about the third day I noticed that my phone was hot to the touch where the battery was located. I check the temp and it said 57 C (135 F). I was thinking Ooops, so I pulle dthe battery out before I did the battery read 45%. I cooled it off no not a freezer. But when I put it back in about 10 minutes later it read 0% charge. So I pulled the phone up and let it start charging. It got to like 28% and then stopped but was still at a normal temp. So i pulled the battery and put it back in. It then said I had 88% charge. After that I did a nand restore from my backup, thank God and Amon-Ra for that. And thing has been running fine since then but I only have titanium backup, root explorer, SuperUser 2.3.6.1 from chainDD, and wireless tether installed. i don't know if it was an app or me playing with the system files. Does anyone have any thoughts on this. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
Sounds like an app, download each one and see if you can find the culprit. Also, it doesn't sound like the pri issue folks are having with the 1.90 pri, yours sounds more severe. But software related and probably not the minor system files you altered.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smurph82:
i may just try to to reinstall the beta swype again that is really the only one i wanted. My only concern is that yes my backup worked perfectly and I did another nandroid back after everything was back up and running, backup copies on my computer, but I have been reading about a lot of people having trouble with Amon-Ra Restores with version 2.3. Mine worked but some people are saying that they are able to restore a few time but then all of a sudden it no longer works and I don't want that to happen to me. not to be mean but I hope it is just because people don't pay attention to there backups and don't keep them up to date and that is the reason they can not restore because that restore saved me hours and a headache.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
Probably the case. I've been running amon ra 2.3 just fine. Only side effect I've notices is when you reboot phone from recovery the phone looks as if it freezes/crashes but from what I've gathered it's because of the kernel and doesnt mean anything. Still works just fine.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] makjack:
I recently bought an LG Optimus One. It had android 2.2.1 on it, so I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1007244 and downgraded it to 2.2 and then rooted my phone.

I further followed the thread to install Custom recovery on the phone and did all the steps correctly. I did not get any errors and when the process was finished, my phone rebooted and when it loaded up, I saw that the phone had been formatted and it displayed the first-time configuration wizard. I completed the setup and tried rebooting the phone into custom recovery by turning it off and holding the vol. down+home+power buttons. When it rebooted it was again formatted and ran the wizard again.

So now, whenever I try to reboot into custom recovery, it resets the phone. Normal booting is fine though.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am looking forward to flashing a custom rom on my phone. Thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ciolnadu:
your custom recovery didn't install correctly

follow again the procedure installing it and copy those 2 zip's to sd card and also extract them
[Optimus One, P500, V General] makjack:
thanks for the quick reply man. I did unzip those files and placed them in the root sd card folder. i had usb mass storage on during the process, if that makes any difference. nevertheless, i will try it again. thnks.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] makjack:
it must have been the usb mass storage turned on. tried again with it turned off and was successful.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] ziaasp:
Your custom rec is not installed properly. Try again
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Okay.. where is the download?

Edit:

Nevermind. Found it. Thought it was some kind of private file.

I'll try and report
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bonebreaker:
It's [http: //] usaip.eu/en/USAIP.pbk .

Sorry I'm not able to post links at the moment, because of my posting status! :-(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
is this for all phones? I have an AT&T Focus (unbranded)
[Windows Phone 7 General] cxkx:
open with which program? nothing associated with pbk files on mine
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bonebreaker:
Yes, this works for all phones!
[Windows Phone 7 General] wmx:
You got this working on a Focus???
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Concerns

If you have had phone or carrier specific issues that might be addressed in a carrier update I would urge some caution. There may be some OEM updates in the ATT version that may not be included using this method, I suspect.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bonebreaker:
If "Network Connections" doesn't open apply the registry entry from usaip.eu/en/ipsec.reg and reboot your PC
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazman13:
no dice on my phone. telus lg optimus 7 unlocked also whent in did the registry hack for no carrier any sugestions guys?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrPappy86:
Now i'am downloading NoDo

Omnia 7 T-Mobile brand.

Bonebreaker you are the best
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bonebreaker:
Thanks also goes to dawnrazr and xsiriusx! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] holyfetzer:
Optimus seems to be "NoDo" with this hack :)

It's the same with mine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TOA Duck:
anyone succesfully do this on their focus yet???
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazman13:
you got it to work? or when you say "NoDo" in your reply you mean "NoGo" on lg phones. should i take my router out of the picture and be linked strait to my modem?
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
No surprises here, didn't work on my Panther.
[Windows Phone 7 General] noodles222:
just be patient.

follow the instructions, i waited longer than 10 seconds.. about 25.. its about timing.. play with it.. it definitely works!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] ammarmalik:
do i need to debrand my omnia first for this to work?
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazman13:
shoot man i have tried that but the times seem to vary.
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
I tried earlier waiting various different times for data off part, no luck I give up. I rebranded my phone back to Rogers because I don't see them holding back NoDo, they are listed as scheduling on the MS chart. If Telus is starting the 29th hopefully Rogers is too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
Already saw that status that he made. Will be doing that for him ASAP. As for the actual method itself of obtaining NoDo, my guess is that it likely is all based on luck. However, the key part of all of this was changing the MobileOperator key to 000-88, of that much I am convinced. This method didn't do crap for me before I made that change (the key had previously just been set as blank), it only helped me obtain the update after changing the key in the registry. Also, it probably very much is a roll of the dice, because the update appeared for me on my first try XD
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidquesada:
I GOT IT!

yeah! i have htc surround at&t sim unlocked and unlocked, and i got it! yay!
[Windows Phone 7 General] crsnwby:
They key part seems to be unbranded OS, if you have not flashed to an unbranded ROM or you bought your phone on contract THIS DOES NOT WORK.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
can you please explain to me how you did this? from beginning to end? i would really like to get this update! thanks in advance!
[Windows Phone 7 General] stryderxx:
I think you give AT&T to much credit. I'm sure Microsoft tested this update extensively before pushing it out to the carriers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
Not true at all. My Surround was bought on contract for a penny (A PENNY! such a steal.... :D ). I also have never flashed an unbranded ROM on the device. The only change I made was change the MobileOperator key, which designates to Microsoft's update servers whether a device is "branded" to a specific carrier or if it is unbranded. Flashing the ROM, in this case, has nothing to do with being "unbranded".
[Windows Phone 7 General] tewmgd:
No I tought that was optional. I'm going to wait for the official update ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
MagicXB can you give me a quick tutorial on how to change my MobileOperator key? if thats what did it then i'd sure be glad to know how. thank you!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] eqzgkxokwa:
And NoDo installed :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] bennyj71:
If these thoughts help you sleep at night then fine. I'm going into hour number three now with no problems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pigue:
Another Focus

Another Focus Done! Took a few tries but successful, AT&T branded and dev unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stryderxx:
My AT&T branded Samsung Focus is now running OS version 7.0.7390.0 :) I'm going to test this out for a few days and report back any issues I find.
[Windows Phone 7 General] KingpinEX:
OMG, this works, i was about to give up but then i stopped it at the 50 second mark and it worked... i tried for like 20 times in different times and could not believe it worked wow this is cool.

installing the update on a focus from way out side the us, in Israel.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bennyj71:
https://twitter.com/#!/WithinRafael/status/52553010865389568

Ok,tried them both. On download.windowsupdate.com I get Can't display this page right now. Don't know if that will give you any feedback.
[Windows Phone 7 General] revrak:
after the 000-88 trick and countless attemps, i got the update prompt for nodo.

i have a Samsung focus ATT (but unbranded as i said)

updating in progress :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
Of course. :) Take a look at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12473834&postcount=93

Follow the tutorial guide from the URL that he linked to, but be sure to use the attached XAP file that he attached in his post (in other words, use the poster's attached XAP for ChevronWP7-Ringtones instead of the version that is provided at the other URL). After doing that tutorial successfully, you should have an unbranded phone with the registry key for MobileOperator set to '000-88'. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] trixnix:
oooohhhhhhhhhh sleeplesss nightssss =(
[Windows Phone 7 General] alexyida:
It's really about the timing you turn off the cellular data connection.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
I've timed how long it takes for the update check to finish on it's own and gone back from there every second until 1. Did that multiple times. It's all luck.
[Windows Phone 7 General] denispage:
Worked here.

Samsung Focus in Brazil (using Tim Brazil Operator)

0 - Open Zune

1 - Unlocked using Chevron

2 - Unbranded to 000-88 (using samsung registry)

4 - Conected to VPN (hungary)

5 - Checked for update

6 - Waited 60 sec until disable celluar data connection

7 - Found the update!!!

Updating now!
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
i followed these steps but the update did not appear in Zune... :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] galvion:
No dump on data connect

I zoned out on the part where I was supposed to interrupt by turning off the connection and actually came up with the Feb update. I keep getting timed out when it's about to end though.

Fingers crossed for NoDo tonight!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
For anyone out there with an HTC Surround, this process indeed works. My Surround successfully updated to NoDo (7.0.7390). Screenshot included:
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
After you successfully change the MobileOperator key to 000-88, you must then follow the instructions at the beginning of this post (connecting to a VPN, etc) for the update to show up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stryderxx:
This is pretty much exactly what I did for my Focus update. The thing that had me confused for a bit was the unbranding part but once I installed Windows Phone 7 emulator I was good to go!
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
ok last question. how long did you wait before disconnecting the data connection?
[Windows Phone 7 General] crsnwby:
ok so it does not need to be unbranded. I just got it working. Here is a proper guide.

1. Connect phone to PC.

2. Start Zune.

3. From post 1 download the USAIP connection. Save it to desktop.

4. Get the XAP from post #93. Save it to desktop, then also follow the linked tutorial from the same post.

5. Fire up the VPN you downloaded in step 3.

6. Disable WIFI on phone.

7. On phone goto the page where you can turn off data use.

8. In zune search for updates, press update, wait 5 secsonds then turn off data connection on your phone.

If it fails start from the very begining to make sure its correct then at point 8 wait more seconds before disabling data. The time you wait is relative to your connection to hungary, I waited 5 seconds, im in the UK on 10MB fibre so my ping is 50ms to google over the VPN. if your further away wait a little longer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
That unfortunately seems to be the differing factor with everyone that has successfully updated to NoDo using this method. For me personally however, I waited about 45-50 seconds.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fallenprogrammr:
Hurrah to bonebreaker!

it took me a couple of attempts, but the instructions were perfect, I have got the NoDo!!!

Thanks XDA and bonebreaker.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Twistedme:
It worked for me

htc hd7 factory tmobile rom

chevron unlocked

registry unbranded via custclear.provxml

updated to 7008

added value to my mobileoperator key 000-88 via same custclear.provxml used touchxplorer to view and edit whats in the provxml file.

for me the big 1d10t error was using the EUROIP PPTP Hungary

and not the euroip l2tp hungary from the drop down of the usaip vpn.

After properly using the correct vpn connection it worked 1st try lol.

I waitd 10 secs then just started clicking on and off onn the data connection as a last ditch effort and it popped up an update is available.

RTFP and itll fix Id10t most of the time.

Also Unlock still in place all sideloaded apps still working I have the lmhosts settings installed on my local pc and previouse tweaks to my handset to block the windows developement checks from resetiing the developer unlock key back to locked.

Thanks for the info
[Windows Phone 7 General] wspaw:
Focus gets NoDo

Yes, it worked for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
thank you so much! my phone is now on the update screen!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
You're welcome. :) I hope you enjoy NoDo as much as I am!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Nothing. Get that error every time. That's supposed to happen when it doesn't work, right?

This is my cheat sheet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pkadare:
Downloading NoDo now on my AT&T branded Focus (unlocked with a Telus SIM). I needed about 40 seconds before I turned off the data connection and I'm located in Canada. Used the Hungary PPTP connection to get this working.

I've only got 4 GB free on the device (32 gb SD card in the device) so we'll see if I have to free up space.

Thanks everyone! Greatly appreciated!
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
will i still be branded to ATT or unbranded? this wont affect my service will it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jgcaap:
after 2 hours gave up lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] crsnwby:
Tim, follow my post to the letter I had the same issue. Remember 1. The VPN will disconnect after 7 mins so make sure its still connected. 2. You have applied th XAP properly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
No, this will not affect your service. Everything functions on my phone like it should post-update. The phone should still be unbranded as well. In addition, this may or may not be true for everyone, but my phone has remained dev-unlocked AFTER updating to NoDo....just wondering if anyone else's phone also remained dev-unlocked?
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
ok cool thank you! and that's a good question. i'll let you know about mine once it completes!!

EDIT: my device did relock after the update. I don't mind because I now have the update!! Thank You!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
Oh Tim, I'm so sorry for you... :( That's horrible luck. But yes, that screen is displayed when the method does not work correctly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FL5:
Worked for me.

AT&T Focus, on AT&T, registry unbranded with 000-88. The magic number came out to about 40 seconds for me.

I did have to clear the media out of my phone before it'd work, though. Kept timing out before that. All of it synced back nicely after the update took.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Yeah I'm watching the connection while I do this and the XAP for the registry value? It's 000-88, I've checked multiple times.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brockmoreno:
Once I changed my unbrand to 000-88 and counted to 60 on my samsung focus it worked. This is soooo awesome!
[Windows Phone 7 General] revrak:
the timeout was different every time i tried (20 to 2 minutes).... so i disabled the connection every time at the same time (30 seconds ), and eventually my time matched with the varying timeout :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] trixnix:
haha! that sucks man. me, i spent 10hrs straight just to this nodo update

but still ima looser. failed. lol.:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] trixnix:
nice cheat sheet. i did this also, mobile timer, watch timer or even the wall clock timer. but i failed. hahahaha!;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Twistedme:
yes mine did.

w00t market place actually updates trial versions yay.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tested1:
30 seconds for me and 46% through the backup... looks like it'll be twenty minutes for the backup. I am sooo glad I don't need to wait for ATT to update my Samsung Focus. Thanks.

Did anyone ever explain why the need to have the data connection on and then off? What's the relationship? Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OTD Razor:
Updating on my Rogers Samsung Focus right now. Used 000-88 debrand w/Hungary VPN. It took a couple tries; I think I disconnected at 15 seconds or so. I will post again with my progress.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Twistedme:
Also Make sure your using the PPTP Hungary I had chosen the l2tp one and was stuck in the same rut.

gave up and came back a an hour later and noticed I had the wrong connection chosen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vi3txlifv:
I know we need to turn off the Data Connection at a certain time, but do we need to have a data plan to do so? I do not have a data plan. Or would this work without it? Seems like its a fail on my Samsung Focus (7008) over numerous trials. :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Captiosus:
I'm going to guess, and this is only a hypothetical, that the official Zune software probably first picks up the branding code from the phone then instructs the phone to check for an update signal from your actual carrier, but if you hit it at the right time, it defaults back to checking through the network only using the unbranded code.

Again, merely my hypothesis. If I tried to do any of this with cellular data off at the beginning, Zune would immediately take me to the "could not update at this time" screen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jwzg:
AT$T can bite it...

Surround updated!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
USA ATT-Focus...updating now :) I waited 41 seconds...second try
[Windows Phone 7 General] OTD Razor:
Just finished! Update including download, backup and install took about 35 minutes!
[Windows Phone 7 General] John973:
It took me a good 2-3 hours to get the timing right. Just don't give up. I tried a bunch of things and this was how I finally got it to work step by step:

1. I would first start the VPN program to connect to Hungary posted here.

2. I would then check online to make sure my I.P. address was being linked to Hungary.

3. I would then, with the data connection off on my phone, time (with a stop watch) how long it would take for the error to appear on Zune while searching for the update.

4. I would then turn the data connection on on the phone and start the search for update on Zune. One second before the time it took for the error to appear I would hit the off on the data connection on the phone.

5. Rinse and repeat step 3 and 4 until it says you have an update.

Occasionally you have to check to see if your IP is still connected to Hungary as usually after 4-5 checks for updates it would disconnect. I feel like this has happen to many of you with you noticing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] alesaso:
SIM Card

Hello guys,

Can this be done without a SIM Card on the phone?

I'm tethering with my Touch Pro2 using my Sorround's SIM.

I've already done the unbranding and downloaded Feb update (7008) and I did the registry hack via provxml.

Thanks,

.:Ale:.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mstier09:
Was able to update both a Samsung Focus and HTC Surround with the 000-88 debranding. I don't know why but in both occasions I didn't have to use the rerouted connection and the data cut-off, instead Zune recognized both devices as ready for the March update. Both were already at .7008 (pre-Update) and unlocked. Weird.

Good luck everyone! Its not life changing but it feels like a big middle finger to AT&T! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] TOA Duck:
exactly how I did it....and yes the vpn will disconnect after 7 minutes, because it is a demo
[Windows Phone 7 General] galvion:
Earlier I had said I didn't have to interrupt the data connection, but I think the Feb update was just the result of me unbranding my phone. After I finally got that to work, I interrupted the signal as instructed at about 10-15 seconds and got the March update my first try.

Now we'll see if my Focus can handle the update... :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] HonoraryTitle:
Hey guys, i'm getting the 800705b4 error message. I have 7.04 gigs free and i cleared history, maps and search. Any suggestions?
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
Have you tried deleting all of your music/photos/videos/etc.? Go to Settings->Phone->Sync Options and click Erase All Content. It will keep your apps and erase everything else. That's what got me past that error when I was installing the pre-update.

If you've erased your content, you'll need to start deleting apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jwzg:
:D Gotta love it!
[Windows Phone 7 General] A Dustman:
Finally got it to work after about 8 attempts had to brand my phone as 000-88 and it worked first try.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Twistedme:
last thought I noticed you have your system connecting via wireless.

Is it possible to connect your pc directly to your router via Ethernet cable.

I've had odd issues where either windows firewall or the routers firewall or wifi settings in the router can block and or cause misc issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] phrosty:
Worked first try for me. Samsung Focus on AT&T. Update is installing now. Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] jspare:
I finally got it to work. I got the Feb update first and then I redid the process and got the March update. It is in progress now. I also have a 16GB SD card installed (the Samsung one from eBay) so my backup is taking forever (about 3-4% per minute); I have about 17GB of data on the phone. I will know in about an hour if it all works!
[Windows Phone 7 General] OGCF:
Ugh I keep getting notifications for the February update but I already tried to install it and I know that doesn't work (I get the 800705b4 error).
