WOW... This freekin really works.

I did have to try 3 or 4 times for the timing to be right to disconnect the internet while Zune is checking for the update, but This DID work. I'm not sure about the logic behind this, but I would recommend EVERYONE to try this.

Thanks a LOT for this.

I guess MS is the one who is making sure our phone does not get the update until our batch is ready or something like that. Thats why once you disconnect the data while it's checking, it cannot probably send our device info completely and since the initial second determines the update availability, it lets us update.

Pretty Cool.. thanks once again.

This thing should be sticky.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chrism583:
Worked perfectly on the first attempt.

LG Quantum on AT&T(unbranded and unlocked).
[Windows Phone 7 General] jimbonics:
Got the pre nodo yesterday, TMO HD7, and cannot get this trick to work. :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] XPero:
Thank you very much!

Worked on my Vodafone Spain branded LG Optimus 7!

:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
Reporting from home... Vodafone Trophy and TMN Samsung Omnia 7 (friend of mine rushed over when I told him I had NoDo) both updated on the first attempt without a single glitch.

Thanks mate, and another Thanks coming over your way :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
Confirmed working too.

I tried it earlier this morning when my network cable was plugged in and couldn't get it to work.

Then I tried it again just now using only the wireless connection and got it working the 2nd time!
[Windows Phone 7 General] CyK1:
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

worked from the first try!!

So does anybody know how big the update is? it's weird that they don't mention it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jonno2343:
Haha, incredible!!

Thanks so much man, honestly didn't think it would work.

I had to wait about 8s to get it to work and I disabled WiFi on both the HD7 and PC at that time.

I wonder how this works? I'm guessing Zune gets a list of updates and then sends the update it needs, along with all the device info to make sure that the device is eligible for the update. Then Zune has a 10s or so timeout and allows the update once there is no response about eligibility.

How did you figure this out?? :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] theguy0075:
Same here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Noticed:
Didnt want to install the VPN think.

I thaught about why the VPN thing was working, and supposed, because of the way longer loading times in zune with the VPN Version, that Zune must be searching something that influences the update.

The next thaugt was the WLAN-switch on my Laptop ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] vHatch:
T-Mobile HD7 users keep trying! I can confirm that it worked for me after MANY tries, I'm currently installing NoDo. I had to disable internet connection pretty much immediately after checking for an update.

The first time I got the update notification I forgot to reconnect the internet and the update failed (doh). I had to make another few attempts.

Thanks OP for this trick, idk how you found it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] hector7710:
It just worked for me!! disconnect immediately after clicking update
[Windows Phone 7 General] snakewar:
Thank you for sharing this, I was able to update my LG Optimus 7 to NoDo at first try. =)
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
Worked the first time i tried it! thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] a500lbmidgit:
It worked updating:D:cool: now
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
Am i right in thinking that the phone has wifi AND data switched OFF, then search for update and disconnect PC from the internet?

It doesnt seem to work here!
[Windows Phone 7 General] acidburst:
I can confirm this method is working for me as well. HTC HD7 Tmobile USA. I had forced the prenodo prior to this by removing the carrier string. It took a couple of tries to get this to work, but it works. As you can see from the picture below. i had the device manager opened. i disabled the network card driver after about 5 seconds to get the update to pop up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rantri:
HD7 Unbranded Cellcom Israel.

Work on the first try.

Thanks :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
trid on pc (nic connection pulled) and laptop (wifi switched off) and neither working - either it reports already up to date (before i pull connection) or it just says it cant connect to the updates (if i stop connection!)
[Windows Phone 7 General] aWaffles:
Oh woooooow I spent hours doing the whole "Hungary" trick that was posted yesterday! This I did on my first try, I turned of my WiFi on my laptop 2 seconds after hitting the update button! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
Did it take long from switching off wifi to be told the update is available?
[Windows Phone 7 General] routerbad:
Thanks OP:D

Trick worked after only a couple of tries on my T-Mo USA HD7.

If you are getting "Cannot check for updates" try literally counting to three after hitting the update button then disabling the wireless card (2 if hard wired).
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
Given up - I either get it continually 'checking for updates' or it says it cant connect to updates!! Going to bed now fed up!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fullmetal99012:
Does this mess with the branding? I wan't to keep my phone T-mo Branded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Wow...I can't believe it worked!!!!

I've got a branded t-mobile usa HD7 working on WIND here in Canada...I figured it was only working for unbranded but nope...it works!

I actually had to get a watch to count the difference between getting the "no update found" to pulling the wifi too early and having the error message about no internet connection.

Very strange this works.

Kudos to the OP!
[Windows Phone 7 General] III Kevin:
I can confirm that this method works. I had updated to 7008 a couple days ago using the regular update process. HD7

on T-Mobile in Utah. Thanks for the help!
[Windows Phone 7 General] dynomite16:
I'm guessing this doesn't work on the mac wp7 connector? My PC desktop is not currently plugged in so I've had to use my macbook's WP7 connector. I tried this a couple times and I couldn't get it to work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] florinr08:
IT WORKED!!!!

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!! :D

Thank you!!!!! :D

I'm currently on step 5 of 10 and it's moving! Samsung Omnia 7 on Three UK, Chevron Unlocked, Operator String restored to default.

PS. It's now creating a backup on step 7 so that's obviously fixed, I guess.

I'll update if anything goes wrong but otherwise thank you for the successful update!! :D I owe you! :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
data should be off, connectivity of the computer should be on and wifi of phone should also be on.

manually check update and while zune is checking for an update immediately turn off your computers wifi (not the router, modem but the computers lan or wlan) while your phone is still connected to the wifi. when you already have the notification turn on your computers wifi and start the update process

hope this helps
[Windows Phone 7 General] downhillrider:
couldnt get this working on my US> ATT>HTC Surround. after several attempts zune just old me it couldnt connect.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vHatch:
It probably won't work on the Surround yet. It's working on the HD7 because the update is rolling out now.

[Windows Phone 7 General] kartbart:
Crucial trick

If you are doing this with a wired-PC, disconnecting the cable will NOT work.

You have to open Control Panel -> Network > Change adapter settings and then disable. Literally press disable after counting to 2.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sketchy9:
Yes this is what finally worked for me. T-Mo US HD7. I had to play around with it a few times to get the timing right. And, as an added bonus, the first time i succeeded it stopped the update b/c I didn't have enough free space on my hard drive! (apparently 9 GB was not enough for me). So I had to make some space and do it again. Still worked.

[Windows Phone 7 General] spencer911:
This awesome dude, finally after a day of frustration of not getting NoDo the trick works freakin' awesome dude, you're the man... Thanks a ton.
[Windows Phone 7 General] korakesion:

Its working after some try Htc HD7 T mobile!

Thanks!:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] dougolupski:
Thanks man it worked for me. Sitting bored in my hotel room in china hearig about all these people finally getting nodo was making me faom at the mouth. I did unplug the cable and it worked after a few tries like the instructions said.

T-Mo HD-7, Unlocked SIM, T-MO Sim installed

Again thanks alot as a tech junkie this was really bugging me not having the latest and greatest.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cadcamtx:
I couldn't get any of the previous mentioned to work but I this is what finally did.

turn off phone cellular data in settings and leave 3g setting "on"

turn off computer wlan

leave phone wifi "on" and connect to computer, have phone wifi page open

go to update settings and hit update button. 4 seconds turn off phone wifi (I actually counted 1 when I hit the mouse button, then 2-3-4)

wait for notification of update and then turn on computer wlan.

once connected back to the internet, hit update button on screen

This is for HD7 on tmo in usa. Mine just finished.
[Windows Phone 7 General] uncled1023:
I Would like to state that I have a At&t Surround, and the hack worked perfectly for me. Second attempt. 3 seconds was the magic number for me as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] redoxy:
worked like a charm for me also.

Tried several times without getting the official update. but after just 2 tries it worked.

[Windows Phone 7 General] matrixcs:
OMG!!!!

It works!!

Location: Philippines

Phone: HTC 7 Mozart "open market" which I won from the HTC 7 Mozart Contest

found here: http://www.thetechnoclast.com/2011/...phone-7-workshop-at-mandarin-oriental-manila/

What I did was to first time the update until it displays that my phone is up to date to 7008

its 30 secs. So what i did.. connected my laptop to the WIFI and then at 15 secs I hit the disconnect.. 3 secs later it shows that there is an update already..

here are the pictures
[Windows Phone 7 General] trixnix:
wowow! congrats!
[Windows Phone 7 General] L337Ware:
This works!

Ok people it's tricky and confusing but definately works. Turn off all data and wifi on your hd7. For me I am using a wired connection to my router. Start the update and somewhere around 3 seconds you have to disconnect your internet to your computer. Now if it tells you that you can't connect to the update you pulled to early. If you pull to late you won't get the update and it will tell you that yopu are up to date with wehatever you had. Play with it. I got it to work after ten tries. Totally worth it. Un modded T-Mobile USA Southern California. Wifi would be similiar probably a bit harder to get the timing. Reconnect to the internet once it sees the update. Simple breakdown it connects bsees updated something shortly after denies it to you unplug before that point
[Windows Phone 7 General] Lord Reaver:
Thanks for this one man... I was having a hard time since I was just turning off the router... Though I lost sideloading...

Man I'm updating as I am typing. This is freaking awesome. Good Job dude.
[Windows Phone 7 General] furious6226:
after bout 15 tries it worked the only thing i did different was instead of hitting the update button then disconnecting wlan i disconnected wlan first cause it was taking bout 5 or more secs then i hit the update button so soon as i disconnected wlan i hit the update and it appeared.:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] thomasbham:
got it to work after a few tries. Updating right now. So excited.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Re-Confirm for HTC HD7 T9292 T-Mobile 16GB :D

Took several tries, but it DID WORK. I am updating it right now :D

But what do you mean by without VPN cilent and Dial Up?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Luisraul924:
so everyone is saying how nice and charmingly well this works, but I'm having doubts that the update contains the carrier and OEM optimizations for the radio firmware and device firmware... can someone (with an HD7) take a pic of a white surface and confirm it isnt pink? lol (seriously though)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dyl8n:
great stuff! I managed to put the SDK on XP using a registry hack, to deploy registry editor XAP, then de-branded (000-88)

I tried VPN over and over to no avail (most I got was notification on phone, but nothing on Zune). Tried this approach (disabling LAN on screen after about 4 seconds, with phone data connection off), worked like a charm!

Thank You!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Deano019S:
Hi All,

THANKYOU SO MUCH NOTICED!! - This method also worked for me after about 20 different tries.

- HTC HD7 (T-Mobile but Unlocked and Using on Three network in Australia)

To do it I had to disable the Ethernet adapter in my PC one it got to about 6 seconds (probably as its a Australian connection)

THANKS AGAIN!!

[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
And then i need to say Sorry... They haven't fixed it yet. I can even see a pink spot before i take a picture. HTC need to work with Microsoft to realease the hotfix for this thing soon (Since Windows Phone 7 is locked, and 3rd Company cannot modified it by themselves, we need to wait for them to work together)

So do you have to have preNoDo for this to work? Im still on 7004, with Samsung Focus on ATT and I cant get to work for the life of me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Luisraul924:
Damn, then this update doesn't contain the OEM and carrier fixes, "official NoDo" is supposed to contain the "pink photo" issue fix.

the "pink issue" is on the HD7 camera only.

[Windows Phone 7 General] mksmith_au:
Worked great!

Thanks Noticed! worked great once I unlocked it with Chevron and 000-88 key - Optus branded in Australia.

Interestingly the tools to update the registry are revoked pretty quickly after completing the update so if you unbrand it and want to keep your original key you better do it straight way.

But anyway NODO is on there now!

Error C101007C?

I tried this late last night just before going to bed on my UK Vodafone Branded Trophy. Worked a treat(ish).

Took a long time to update, to the extent I just left the PC and it to get on with it at stage 8 of 10 and went to bed.

Came down in the morning to find an error "C101007C" your device could not be updated. There was another error too re. an internet connection for Zune.

On checking the phone information I have been updated to 7390 but the phone time and calendar were set funny to 28th June 2011 and late evening?....

Still I have it now. Onwards to Mango.....

Niall
[Windows Phone 7 General] Flow WP7:
In the last Step of the process you need to unlock / enter pin on the phone, i guess that was the reason for the error, because it timed out. But there doesn't happen anything important after that only the message "Update Successfull" appears.

[Windows Phone 7 General] GetsDistracted:
Worked Awesome on HTC HD7 T-Mobile US! Super Easy!

Thanks a ton Noticed!

Worked first try, wasn't even planning on it working, just seeing what it would do. Then it worked 6 or 7 more tries, like a charm! I kept getting 'insufficient space' errors, had to clear more space for the update. Have some patience, giving it at least 5 good seconds before disconnecting PC.

Updating HTC HD7 T-Mobile US now! 'Step 7 of 10: Creating A Backup' is taking a while, just passed 50% and its taken over 30 min. Should have unloaded the whole 32GB MicroSD card before starting, maybe that would have saved some time.

If anyone tries unloading all their music files, photos, etc. before starting the update, I'd be interested in seeing how much (if any) time it cuts off creating the backup. :)

Oh, well! Just excited to finally have NoDo!

Thanks again Noticed! You ROCK!

[Windows Phone 7 General] jimbonics:
Ok I was finally able to get it to work. The first time I got the notification, I made the mistake of clicking OK like it states to do. This took me back a screen and it took me another 20 minutes to get it to work again, mostly because it took so long to enable the NIC.

Anyway, when I got home, worked on the first try. When you finally get it to work, DO NOT click OK. Re-enable your NIC, make sure it's connected, then click Update.

Thanks for this trick. How the hell did you ever figure it out?
[Windows Phone 7 General] brytonic:
No dice on a stock AT&T Focus. I tried many different ways, and different timings.

I assume you must need to unbrand, or unlock, or have a device that is in the approved state.

I may try again later, but for now the stock Focus cannot do this.

Thanks Good Brotha, I finally got this mofo nodo to update on me phone. It took 5 tries and I guess it was just difficult getting the timing down and those settings right. The last time I did this I unplugged my usb from pc turned my wlan off and had my phone settings as described above. I started zune up, plugged in, and went to settings, and clicked up date waited 5 secs and turned off my phones wifi and after a few secs my phone and the pc were telling me a new update was available. I'm in step 7 right now and will soon be in nodo bliss! :D

I've got a HD7 on Tmob in PA, USA. I got the pre nodo 7008 update yesterday by just plugging into zune.

Singapore - LG Optimus 7

The timing here is the key.

1. Start Zune

2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone

3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)

4. Start the update search in Zune

5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).

>>> in my case, It took 10 seconds to make it work.

6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.

7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.

I can definitely say that you need a "slow" network connection.

At home, my "Check for Updates" procedure took less than 3 seconds to complete (I was on 7008 on an un-branded LG Quantum on AT&T, using Comcast over 802.11n).

I went into a corporate / work network (hundreds of users, large lag time) and did this and in 2 tries I got it to work.

On the corporate network, I had to wait longer than 3 seconds (almost 5) so that I didn't get the "Can't connect to the web to check for updates" message.

I used Windows 7's "Disable this Network Device" button in the Network Connections folder.

So, if you really really want the update... go to Starbucks I guess if your internet at home is too fast.

Also remember to turn your network connection back ON to get actually get the update!

The process takes a while (still going for me), so don't have make any plans for a while...

Thanks for this!
