After about a hundred tries I got the update for my Surround. Then as the Zune software was making a backup I closed my laptop lid out of habit when I went to go grab a snack. So my phone rebooted, no update installed and I can't seem to get it to re-download the update. FML

Don't be a dumb ass like me!
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
wonder whether this unlock procedure without using chevron still works on nodo LG devices that haven't been unlocked before.

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] MKohlman:
Was able to successfully update my Samsung Focus (ATT) -- timing had to be 65 seconds.

Sorry ATT & MS. I simply got sick and tired of waiting and seeing ATT listing all of their WP7 devices as "testing" for almost a week now was the final straw...

Hopefully Mango will be handled better...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pbear74:
First time, long time here.

I debranded my phone last week to get 7008 and was hesitant to go for the March update, but I finally decided to do and plugged in my Focus and it immediately told me I had the March update waiting!

I am installing right now, I didn't have to do any of the new tricks to get NoDo.

AT&T couldn't possible be pushing it out now could they?
[Windows Phone 7 General] cremainsc:
Cannot Start the network connection

I cannot pass the first step.

I try to connect to the Hungarian PPTP but it won't connect.

It tells me that I don't have the devise present.

I'm using Windows 7. Anyone came across this issue?
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
I don't think so, don't forget you debranded. You wouldn't be able to get this under ATT. From reading the news it doesn't look so good for ATT users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
This worked for me first time! Am chuffed :D

Edit: Just to add my way of Unbranding was via flashing a unbranded rom, not registry hack.
[Windows Phone 7 General] John973:
This right here just made it work on my USA ATT FOCUS!!!!

Only took like 50 tries.

YEAHHHH UPDATING AS WE SPEAK!!!

EDIT: its HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator

NO SPACE IN THE REG KEY THE FORUM IS DOING SOME WEIRD AUTO EDIT
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
How do I change the MobileOperator registry key to 000-88? I've used the HTC registry hack by Chris Walsh which sets the registry key to a blank setting. I'm on an HTC Surround.
[Windows Phone 7 General] asiancuta:
any side effects or hiccups after?

my only concern is that this upate is not Samsung Focus specific.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Yeah I'm really curious about this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
No problems on an Omnia 7, you should be fine on the focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
He's just receiving the pre-update, nothing to see here. :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Probably right. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] ynotm:
works! getting nodo on my focus now. unbranded with 000-88 and turned off cell connection at around 50 seconds.

edit: holy crap, i thought iphone backups were slow. this is ridiculously long.
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsedstech:
I hate to sound like a noob but im wondering the same thing, im using the samsungregistry app but it wont let me write 000-88 , i try bt whenever i hit read its back to GetString:
[Windows Phone 7 General] jsbieber:
You guys are AWESOME! I've tried this all day probably 50+ times, with no results. I'm AT&T in the USA on a Samsung Focus. I finally got it to work, it's updating right now as I type! Changing that phone registry key from blank to 000-88 and I got it on my second try! For me it was at 53 seconds, counting pretty steady paced in my head when I shut the data connection off! Then it popped! March 2011 update!!!!

THANK YOU! To hell with these providers not pushing these updates!

I think I'm probably the first Samsung Focus with success! Keep trying everyone, this proves to me that no matter the phone you can probably get it! Finally NODO!
[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
I retract my comment, I think Microsoft just made changes to prepare for Wave 1 roll-out tomorrow. TO THE BATMOBILE! /whisks away into darkness :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
Can anyone make out whether that says March or February..?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
:eek: This night just got awesome.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
I see March.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
Well, in that case...he really DID get NoDo. My Surround wants in on this action, but I can't figure out how to change the registry key to 000-88. -_- the TouchXPerience Registry Editor won't let me have access to the key, saying it's restricted. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
I guess the real question is -- did this update brick his phone? Maybe we should hold off for a few minutes...
[Windows Phone 7 General] kazman13:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Pbear74:
update complete successfully.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mcorrie1121:
Whoo! 2 hrs and nothing last night, 2nd try tonight and I got it (WIFI way, FWIW).

The key difference was I was using my desktop last night, which was connected via WIFI. I used my laptop tonight so I could hardwire it into the router.

EDIT: I did get error 801812C1 the first time, right at the end of step 6. If you get this, stop Windows from looking for drivers online after your phone reboots.

[Windows Phone 7 General] maynerd_mjk:
AWESOME!

This totally worked!

I'm a proud Samsung Focus owner with OS 7.0.7390.0!

I do have two questions.

How do I know if my phone is unbranded?

Is there a way to rebrand it?

Thanks for this!

[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Can we get some people confirming whether or not you can still sideload apps after doing the NoDo update if your phone was Chevron unlocked and was registry edited to prevent relock from before the update?
[Windows Phone 7 General] hibbityhobbes:
Holy God that took for f***king ever but i am FINALLY updating to nodo :D . unbranded ATT Focus in th US. Got it on count 34 but i know i had tried that before several times. So for those of you that hve been tryin for hours and hours take heart in the fact that you MAY just get the timing right eventually. For the rest of you lucky sob's that got it on the first few tries, knock on wood cause luck like that don't run forever:D:D:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] tchitchicruise:
Work fine on my HD7..

:-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gp.:
Confirmed working on Samsung Omnia 7 here in Australia with Optus!

I unlocked, modified registry and proceeded to do the timing trick a few times.

I'm now installing nodo!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gp.:
Another quick question, I wish to do this for my friends HTC Mozart.

Is it okay to use the Samsung registry tool used in the tutorial on the HTC device?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Atrixx:
i think the hungary VPN is down, i constantly get the 807 error. and i tried just randomly connecting to another connection and it worked fine. but i still cant get the update, any ideas?

[Windows Phone 7 General] Alpha0ero:
After 15 failed attempts

I said f it, busted out the stopwatch and timed it. Then took off 1 sec and disabled data connection on phone...Voila! Downloading March NoDo now...We'll see how it goes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] simbadogg:
can someone please tell me if post NoDo update if sideloaded apps still work? or if you still have the ability to sideload apps?
[Windows Phone 7 General] SparkedFire:
I was able to install NoDo on my AT&T Samsung Focus (using the timing methods) by installing Pre-NoDo first. I tried for two nights but it wouldn't find NoDo. I installed Pre-Nodo and got NoDo on the second try.

This may be required for some people as T-Mobile users are reporting they must install Pre-NoDo before getting the NoDo notification.

At the end of this, I can no longer use ChevronWP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsJTrang:
hey everyone, it took me awhile but finally got the NoDo update to show up in Zune. I am updating my Bell Canada LG Quantum Optimus as I type. Its at 50% backup stage. I will let you know if it stays unlocked after the update. Knock on wood!

60% thru phone backup stage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mcorrie1121:
My apps are still there, and Chevron says I'm still unlocked. Had Samsung Tools set to keep it unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pseudoware:
Another updated, unbranded AT&T Samsung Focus. Also, still developer-unlocked.

Two attempts. The first was actually my brain fart - forgot to connect to EUROIP PPTP Hungary. :o
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsJTrang:
Finished the NoDo update on my Bell LG Quantum. still unlocked, apps all work, and chevron can still communicate with the device. Not that it needs to unless it's to relock the device.

I'm happy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jefim:
Another success

Another phone updated! Thank you, TS!

Stats:

Phone: LG Optimus 7 unbranded

Country: Finland

Operator: Saunalahti (if this matters - the phone is not branded in any way, I am just mentioning the network in case it is important to someone).

Time before disabling the data connection (3G): ~25 seconds.

Tries it took: around 10. But I think that the first couple of times I was too optimistic and started to count DOWN, not UP :)

Thanks!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Antaresram:
Thankyou.

Just wanted to confirm this works with HTC 7 Pro Unbranded phone in the UK.

Though I did have to uninstall Adobe CS5 and and put install the reg file
[Windows Phone 7 General] storm shadow:
Add another to that. I even forgot to connect to EUROIP as well! Thank you SOOOOOO much for the tutorial, you all are amazing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tanders04:
I'm running into a bit of trouble and I wanted to see if other Focus users had it (though it doesn't sound like it).

My phone pulled up the feb update but won't install it. Now when ever I go to try again it automatically pulls up the feb update and I can't try the switching on/off trick anymore.

Any suggestions?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jimecm:
Finally updated to NoDo on unbranded Samsung Focus ATT, still unlocked aswell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] acidburst:
carrier string

hello.

i download the .xap file that changed my carrier string from blank to i believe 0088 in the registry. i was not able to do the timing method.

could anyone please point me in the right direction for changing the string from 0088 to the one that corresponds with tmobile usa? i have an HTC so i cannot simply edit the registry with a registry editor.

thank you so much
[Windows Phone 7 General] jimecm:
Mine wouldnt update, so I decided to do an hard reset and that did the trick. Was able to get the updates much quicker
[Windows Phone 7 General] tanders04:
Check post #93 for HTC instructions
[Windows Phone 7 General] madblogr:
AT&T Samsung Focus here. Followed the write-up, installed the pre-nodo update first, the after several attempts finally got the nodo update at 35 seconds. Phone is currently in step 8 of 10 right now while updating. Thanks for the excellent directions!
[Windows Phone 7 General] acidburst:
Thanks but i did follow the instructions from that post for about two hours. It didnt work for me. Now id just like to revert the mobile operator back to tmobile USA. Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated
[Windows Phone 7 General] parkpy:
quite possibly the most patience testing update I've ever performed.

Needed to:

1) Unlock with Chevron

2) Install SamsungRegistry.xap

3) go into samsung registry, type in 000-88 then write, then read

4) start up USAIP

5) fire up update in zune, set stopwatch

6) mark down time it takes Zune to say software up to date [from stopwatch (as in count seconds)]

7) disabled cellular data at the indicated seconds.

8) repeat this process from 5p.m. to 1:30a.m.

the cocktease is that stupid February 2011 update.

But, I AM NOW DOWNLOADING NODO!!!:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bonebreaker:
Just a reminder

Be sure to carefully read all instructions and all requirements before trying to update your device!

I don't want you wasting your time, but having a problem free updating procedure!

So read then try!

NoDo rocks! :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] nathantw:
Finally got mine working. At first I got the February update (yay!) then I had a heck of a time trying to get NoDo. Ended up doing what one person did when all else seemed to fail, even the Hungary connection. I re-registered my phone under ATT-US, save, then registered under 000-88. Started the Hungary thing again, tried update, waited 30 seconds and to my amazement it worked! Thanks everyone!

I want to thank AT&T for being such a jerky company that it forced us to waste our time to just get an update. Now it'll be interesting to see if they actually do come out with the "official" NoDo update sometime this year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jsbutran:
Please Help. In india using Samsung Omnia 7 unlocked. Updated Februrary update via zune. But not getting intimation for March NoDo updates. tried to follow the instructions but on the very first not able to open the USAIP file" Cannot load the remote Access Connection Manager service. I am on OS Windows 7. Kindly post the layman instructions on how to open the file to proceed further.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kinetic1988:
I've got an LG Optimus 7 (used to be Vodafone Romania branded, but edited the MobileOperator registry key to read 000-88) and this thing worked like a charm from the 3rd attempt or so. Downloading NoDo while posting this.

I don't understand the reasoning behind the whole procedure, but it sure is an awesome trick. Great job, poster!
[Windows Phone 7 General] tanders04:
Fiiiiiinnnnallllly got it.

There is 5 hours of my life I'm not getting back...still, I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] cristidotro:
Instead of Step 6 try this method:

I've seen on another site about looking at the 3G+ icon. When you turn on the 3G connection and start searching for update in Zune, it will appear 3G+ icon. Wait a few seconds and this will disappear. After a few seconds (10-30-40, I don't know, it depends), the 3G+ icon will appear again. After 3-4 seconds after it appears turn OFF the 3G data on your device.

This worked for me.

Thank you!​
[Windows Phone 7 General] Rouz.:
Worked on the second try! Many thanks to the OP
[Windows Phone 7 General] dr_nxn:
Thanks very much Bonebreaker - instructions worked perfectly on a LG Quantum on Bell in Canada. Had to change to the DeviceTargetingInfo regkey to "000-88", where I had previously just removed "BEL-CA".

The entire process took about 1hr 15mins from start to finish - took me about 6 tries with the magic time being ~44secs.

I'm puzzled as to how and why this method works... any explanations? Thanks so much for the post!
[Windows Phone 7 General] muthu_s85:

Took a few tries to get the timing right, but it finally worked. Had one little hicup that I didn't see in the list - my update froze at step 9, rebooting. I left it about 10 minutes after the phone rebooted but it never advanced to step 10. I shut off the phone while it was still connected to USB, and when it rebooted, the process finished and told me the update succeeded. Phone has 32Gb card, and I was connected via a USB hub.

How do i Registry unbrand my Mozart? I'm lost! Ive been reading that I will need unbrand it and have seen a guide on the Mozart forums regarding flash a couple of new roms over it to unbrand it, can't I just hack the registry?

How do I dev-unlock this handset?
[Windows Phone 7 General] RockChalk:
Success but...

I was able to finally get NoDo installed but my phone has relocked.

I followed the steps pretty much exactly except after installing TouchExplorer, I could not get the app to show registry and modify it to stay unlocked. I watched the Youtube video on TouchExplorer as well but it wasn't working. I saw that a lot of posters weren't doing this as well so I proceeded on. Like I said it worked and NoDo installed, but now I can't side load anything. Even Chevron can't unlock the phone.

Would doing a restore, going back to pre-NoDo get me to a point where I can ensure the device remains unlocked after NoDo?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bonebreaker:
this service is dependent on others that have to be started first. Google which ones are needed...

Developer Unlock on LG phones works without Chevron!

after NoDo!

LG Quantum, ATT US

following airwa1kin7s post I was able to developer unlock my phone after NoDo even though it was not unlocked before NoDo!

The MFG program allows you to change the registry settings. They stick even after syncing and all apps and side loading work. I have not touched Chevron or any other hacking before the NoDo. This is at least a solution for LG phones.

thanks to airwa1kin7s !

[Windows Phone 7 General] kharnak:
It worked! thanks so much.

First, I tried several times but it didn't work, saying can't connect to network. But I turned off my firewall afterwards and it worked the first time!
[Windows Phone 7 General] simbadogg:
just my luck, the phone got into step 7 for the backup process...

after about 10 minutes i thought it was taking a long time because it was still at 0%, and it was expected. So i just fell asleep in my bed, i woke up exactly 6 hours later and it was still stuck at 0%. I hope this doesn't erase all the data on my phone if i disconnect because it obviously hung in the process...

I ended up having to do a hard reset to get the feb update to work. But yes according to MS you can unplug at that point.

NoDo on HTC Surround!!!!!

I was able to successfully install the NoDo update a branded AT&T HTC Surround following the steps.

I disconnected the network data at 34 and 35 seconds and it workd just fine.

Microsoft should just deploy this update to everybody without permission from AT&T. AT&T is not on any testing stage, that's called screw up stage.

This is my last contract with AT&T

Thanks for this great post.
