followed directions to the T

I keep getting error code 800705B4, this is for the pre nodo update, does this mean i have to erase all my data first? Just hate there is not backup feature yet if I do that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dcstudio:
It works! HTC HD7, Poland, Era.

Nodo updated with the possibility of sideloading:) (the "Prevent Relock.xap" hack)

Also was getting an error but after a few attempts at 5 - 15 seconds (disconnect and connect WIFI) finally made ​​it! :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tanders04:
It is going to be easier.

The official word from MS is that you just need to start deleting apps here and there. I tried that but I hit a point where it just made more sense to do a hard reset and start over. It really isn't that painful and it does make it a lot easier.
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
Yeah I read that and even looked into MSXML updates, guess I will be wiping device thank god for keepass.
[Windows Phone 7 General] simbadogg:
is anyone getting stuck in the step 7, backup? i've tried 4 times now, and every single time it goes through all the steps just fine, gets to this step then just hangs at 0%. last night it sat there for 6 hours, and it just wont move.
[Windows Phone 7 General] znender:
I tried the noDo update force trick again on a different ROM for my HD7:

RUU_Schubert_TMOUS_1.54.531.02_Radio_5.51.09.29a_2 2.32.50.10U

And I was able to get it working at 32s mark :D!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] SDchris:
Up and running on my focus with a little persistence. Thanks to the people who figured this out and were kind enough to help us out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Daemon_px:
no reg changes or debrand here. Worked at the 3rd try on a Vodafone Portugal Trophy7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gggchan:
this works smoothly for my LG optimis 7 phone (unbranded in HKG). I am installing the NODO now.... great!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] craig.martell:
I just got NoDo on my Samsung Focus via the debranding/VPN-to-Hungary trick. It it fixes the problems that I needed fixed. My employer still uses Exchange 2003, and I haven't been able to search the GAL. With this update, I can! Now, to be honest, I am essentially completely happy with my WP7 phone. I love the interface and I love the integration with Exchange. The only thing that I feel like I am missing is the ability to set out-of-office messages from my phone. So way to go MS, cya later AT&T.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
You can with developer account.

Finally got my Samsung Focus up to date. 50 seconds seemed to be the key for me and a bunch of other Focus users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] BruthazKeepah:
Woohooo! Got nodo AND still chevron unlocked on my UK HD7. This is brilliant. I thought Nodo was supposed to patch Chevron hole. Not complaining though.

Though I musta tried the "timing" method like 50 times. Almost gave up. Was starting to think maybe th unbrand didnt work or something.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HissingNewt:
When I try to connect to the Hungary PPTP network, it will always connect me to the Hungarian L2TP network. I've tried this multiple times to make sure it wasn't me thinking I was going to PPTP and actually hitting L2TP, but it happens every time. Does anyone have any suggestions?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gp.:
Just wanted to let everyone know, if you can't open the .pbk because you have Adobe software installed you DON'T need to remove it.

Simply copy the .pbk file into your System32/ras folder then run rasphone.exe in your System32 folder. Select the correct hungary server as specified in the tutorial and go!
[Windows Phone 7 General] daguru22:
Nodo

I have a Focus on ATT and just got the march update by just debranding. Also for people with problems installing the pre-nodo update. I removed all my apps, not games, and it worked fine. After that I checked for updates again and the nodo showed up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jimecm:
Yeah I had to reset set aswell for the updates to pop up and work correctly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vanko2:
Very importantly, the internet must be activated by your service provider!

Upgrade my HTC MOZART, after swapping the SIM card on which I have internet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chrism583:
Tried this solution OVER AND OVER before trying the method in this thread(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015131), which worked like a charm.

I deleted all music, pictures, and a lot of apps until there was only 2GB of used space and still got that error. I do have a 16GB class 2 SD card installed. I had to do a wipe to get it to work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] churchwa:
Me too.

Anyone had any luck on O2 with the HD7?

By the way:

Even Paul Thurrott used the method! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] martani:
Thanx,

The video really helped me, updating right now

Samsung Omnia 7 (Branded SFR France)

Thank you again
[Windows Phone 7 General] nathantw:
I was getting the same errors even after I got the pre-NoDo. I basically went back, downloaded the apps again and reapplied all the changes I made on the phone. Also, rebooting the phone and Zune on the computer helped.
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
well..

did a reset and...now I can't unlock anymore and still not updated, it was unbranded and unlocked when I master reset it, but I didn't think that would have any effect on that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] erogerc:
Solution 1 (non VPN) worked for me. T-Mobile HD7 took 4 attempts
[Windows Phone 7 General] mike21pr:

Worked first try with method Nr. 1

Big thx!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ddriver:
So, yesterday with "Dialup" and "Registry-Unlock" (000-88) my Mozart (Orange-Branding with Chevron-Unlock) with "NODO" updated.

Well, today "Registry-Relock" (ORG-CH) made ​​and then connected with Zune and looking for updates. Immediately an update appears.

However, to read nowhere that this is the March-Update.

Only just "HTC Update for Windows Phone available".

Update done and now my Mozart running with Orange-CH-ROM on and still Chevron Unlocket. :)

7.0.7390.0

2250.09.13001.071

5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

Nice. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] buffalosolja42:
So close but yet so far away

I must be the black sheep, I tried for hours yesterday, and it seemed to be finishing until the last stage of restarting device and it would fail saying a time out error or something. So I looked at what others did and I reset the device now I cannot unlock my Focus on 7004 anymore so no nodo and no side loading guess no luck for me. The tutorial had everything up and going for me guess my luck just sucks.

I have a branded LG Optimus 7 by Orange France. It worked for me altought I did it a bit different. Instead of turn of wifi/data connection I just put mine phone in flight mode and then connected with mine pc. Then I manually searched for the update and I turned of mine wifi within a few secs and then I received a message that I can continue to the upgrade process. And that worked for me immediately!
[Windows Phone 7 General] sadjad_bp:
Thanks

Thanks man the first solution worked like a charm on my HD7, my rom is ASIA and I've been waiting so long for this update, now I'm gonna stay awkae and test the new updates. Thanks again
[Windows Phone 7 General] chrism583:
Also noticed that, after updating, my sideloaded apps were still present and phone was still unlocked and debranded.

[Windows Phone 7 General] slysy:
Just updated to NoDo on a 3UK branded Omnia7. Did not require the debranding registry tweak. It has also updated my firmware from JID/JIC to JK1 (3 branded still) as part of the update :cool: Thanks!

*success*

COUNTRY: UK

CARRIER: VODAFONE

BRANDED: YES (I did not tamper with my phone at all)

PHONE: LG OPTIMUS 7

ATTEMPTS: 2

I turned off wifi (its still off)

I turned off data, and 3G

Click on update (it said "up to date")

Click on linking

Click back on update (it said "up to date")

Turned on data & 3g

Click on linking

Click on update, then instantly killed my NIC card (disable in control panel)

UPDATE AVAILABLE!
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Linking?

What do you mean by "linking"?

Edit: Was your phone unlocked? (Chevron)
[Windows Phone 7 General] historypsi:
It worked.....twice!

It took a few times but it worked on to Tmobile US HD7's in SC. (Method 1, thanx noticed!)

Not sure if it'll help devs or not but I got what I could before it started removing itself. I was thinking maybe if somebody could catch it and copy it we could put the update up for download. Here is some info where Zune downloads NODO to:

(Note: this is windows 7)

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update\ec92f475 - 276386f5 - 69209cf6 - dac3a6b8

Under this there are 3 folders:

Properties

RestorePoint

Update

The contents of the Update folder is first to go! Must be quick to grab it.

The Properties folder had a single XML file (properties.xml) and it contained the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

-<Properties> <IsPartnered>N</IsPartnered> <DeviceUrlId>zune-tuner://windowsphone/ec92f475%20-%20276386f5%20-%2069209cf6%20-%20dac3a6b8</DeviceUrlId> </Properties>

The RestorePoint folder of course had a backup of my phone which contained Manifest.xml and 201 .dat files. A portion of the XML contained:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

-<ResorePoint> -<Properties> <OSVersion>07.00.07004.00-00000</OSVersion> <DeviceId>ec92f475 - 276386f5 - 69209cf6 - dac3a6b8</DeviceId> <Version>1.0</Version> <CreationDate>2011.3.3.30.22.49.54.817.</CreationDate> </Properties> -<Data Count="201">

Sorry if this info is usless but I'm hoping it'll help Devs isolate the update and distribute it :) Good luck all!
[Windows Phone 7 General] RockChalk:
Any advice for NoDo phones that relocked during the process?

I tried mailing a new cert and changing my hosts file to developerservices.unlock.me address and no dice. Chevron can't communicate.

[Windows Phone 7 General] gh8421:
Worked perfectly for my HTC 7 Trophy on Crazy John's (Vodafone Network) in Australia!
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
what happens on your device? you should try get some help on Focus forum.

Something like:

Unplug USB form computer. Charge phone or put in charger.

Turn off phone.

Turn on phone using 3 buttons - power, camera and volume up/down rocker. Keep all 3 held for 10-15 seconds. Do not release when it asks if you want to format the SD card.

Keep holding until it says "download mode". This will reinstall the OS.

If phone does not reboot in 15 mins just power it off and back on.

Re-setup phone, update firmware through Zune software and then re-sync your documents, music, pictures, videos, etc..

or http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2011/02...ndows-phone-7-c101002e-restoration-error.html

but this link is for omnia7, it wont work with Focus.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RockChalk:
Update:

Did a restore with Zune software which was a success.

Installed Chevron cert again and unlocked phone.

Checked registry values with SamungRegistry app:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\PortalUrlProd

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\PortalUrlInit

Both values were already set to 0. I went ahead and wrote them 0 to make sure. Did the NoDo update and back to locked status where I can't install homebrew apps.

What am I doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mOSs...:
nevermind, issue solved
[Windows Phone 7 General] prjkthack:
Because I did a restore to get back to pre-NoDo, i'm trying it again, and I am now getting the update using solution 1 without the VPN. T-Mobile isn't nice enough to push NoDo to my phone officially.

In any case, trying it again to see if I can update and remain in an unlocked state that lets me sideload apps, not just use my pre-NoDo sideloaded apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] manu81:
the solution 1 is good ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] mwako:
Solution 1 just did it for me after unlocking and loading the xap for debranding, updated to 7008, then did solution 1 a couple times and failed loads. Final time i decided i was doing this and it worked randomly... Nodo all loaded and set for testing in bed now. nn guys and gals :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Focus4:
MarketPlace after update

Anyone else having trouble connecting the XBox Live or downloading updates from the MarketPlace after installing NoDo?

I get an error saying that the Windows Live ID service is unavailable.

I should specify that I am using a Focus in the US on AT&T.

[Windows Phone 7 General] randude:
Samsung Focus purchased from AT&T. I tried it without unbranding first and that was a no go. Unbranded the phone by using the developer hack and the February update showed up right away. Tried the update and kept getting an error message. I removed all my media content and deleted some unused programs and the first update completed. Tried the method posted here through the vpn and NoDo showed up on the second try. Now running NoDo smoothly and works great! Just wish there was more to this update!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Focus4:
Have you tried downloading any games or signing into XBox Live?
[Windows Phone 7 General] hixsonkevin:
I dont know why, but i had an amazingly easy experiance updating my Samsung Focus to NoDo. I updated it a few days ago to the 008 and left it unbranded. Today, i pluged it into zune and it updated to NoDo. No errors, no tricks. Maybe im just lucky?

Thanks to this forum, I am not waiting for AT&T, but have NoDo on my phone now!

I'd imagine you'd just go back and change to 000-88 to ATT-US, though I don't really know why you would. You're probably just going to have to go through a similar song and dance to get mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Focus4:
Update: rolled-back NoDo using Zune, verified updates from MarketPlace were working and XBox Live Connectivity...reapplied NoDo using solution #1, this time enabling both WiFi and Cellular data before proceeding with the installation.

Now everything works as expected. Weird.

Was already on OS Version 7008, (got it on time back in February).

For those of you who are worried that the hacked update broke your phones marketplace, don't worry. The marketplace has been acting funny for the passed 4 hours. It's buggy on Zune itself.

I have tried solution 1 many times, and it doesn't work. (error in zune, internet connection not available)

I have tried with

data and wifi enabled

, and wifi connected, disebled my pc internet connection after 2-3 seconds, and wow ! a very fast notification on zune and phone when going to "settings / phone / update" :D

When the phone has rebooted since the driver downloading, I have maintained the camera button, and the phone has booted in "flash mode", the driver has finished to download, and Zune passed to step 7 !! :D

Confirmed which way, works or does not work?

Third time was a charm.

I rolled back 2nd time and same results, locked phone after Nodo. 3rd time I followed some advice to write the values of

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\PortalUrlProd and PortalUrlInt as strings with blank values using RegistryExplorer, installed NoDo and the phone remained unlocked. I believe I had airplane mode on the whole time. I know for certain it was on the third time so perhaps that's the trick?
