Has anyone installed the Zune Software Update that just came through on Windows Update? Does it break anything with this hack?

Also i have a wierd issue with my focus and ANY PC i try to connect it to...

I can plug it in and zune recognizes it then, if i unplug it and plug it right back in i get nothing zune never shows the phone as being connected even though windows device manager does. This is really strange. I have to do a battery pull then connect it again for zune to get it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] welderzuka:
Yes, this works for my mozart.cool,merci!!!!:):):)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Gray.Fox:

thanks a looooooooooooooot

my phone is updating now
[Windows Phone 7 General] megagprime:
So I have tried everything:

I have an LG e900 / optimus7

I get the nodo update no problem

Got the 7008 update and it flashed fine.

Nodo update gets stuck at step 6 :(

I tried diff USB ports, and even diff comp. Can't get past "rebooting phone". I read to hold camera button but that doesn't put it in flash mode. The phone just resets.

Any help?
[Windows Phone 7 General] matrixcs:
I had the Zune update but.. im not having that problem as you are encountering.
[Windows Phone 7 General] aarayas:
How do you reset up the phone through Zune. The phone is on screen with Phone with cable hook up to computer. And everytime I plug it in to Zune gave the error :

C101002e restoration error

Any thoughts? Is there a firmware for Samsung Focus?
[Windows Phone 7 General] yptan62:
Everything worked fine with solution 1 with just 1 try. Thanks.

1. Remove the battery

2. Plug the USB Charger

3. Insert the battery back

4. Turn on.

Confirmed for method 1 (switching wireless off) for working. 5 seconds before disconnection.

Ysss, I did it with T-Mobile Austria

First of all. Thanks for this Guide.

I tried now for a day :mad:

My biggest problem was to update from 7004 to 7008.

Therefore I used the ChevronWP7 with the 3 Files (Ringtone...,Connection....,TouchXplorer)

My first problem was to transfer the TouchXplorer to the phone.

First i tried with the Tom Xap Installer.

The first 2 files was transfered- the TouchXplorer not.

There was only an error message- - turn on Zune, be sure that unlocked. :confused:

After few hours I tried with "Application Deployment" from the Microsoft Developer Kit.

There I got the error - Limit of the installed Developer Apps reached.

I allready transferd Apps before.....

I deleted one- and now it worked :D

I did like in the guide - but no effect after the Connection Setup.

After again hours later I deinstalled an reinstalled the Connection Setup ->

UPS - Suddenly there was an Update available.

After Update from 7004 to 7008 all worked like in this guide without VPN!

Now i have already installed the March update :D:D:D

Thanks

[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Linking?

When I click "linking" in Zune I get the message that it is not available on my device. Was your phone unlocked?
[Windows Phone 7 General] pdangcil:
If you see the close button on the phone then you should see the update window in Zune as well. I actually timed mine and it was about 52 seconds.

I even restores it twice since I lost the unlock function after updating to NoDo. I had to do the "prevent relock" hack first. Now my Focus is on NoDo and still unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Schewadnaze:
I made it with the Time solution, taked me about 3 Times till it worked for me.

I own a HTC Trophy with Vodafonebranding.

My Phone is jailbraked with "ChevronWP7" and i made a lot with the Registry ( Multitasking, Google as standart searchsite, prepare for unlocking...... nearby everything ) also got a lot of sideloaded Homebrewstuff and a few Apps.

And the really good thing is after the update everything i sideloaded and the Registrychanges are still working ! my Phone is still unlocked so i can go on and Sideload Apps with the NODO update ! :)

The update didnt change the registrysettings you have made so you can keep the phone unlocked although you have the NODO !

I love my Phone ^^ cheers !

DVP updated via VPN setup.

My computer is hard wired to router, and using FiOS.

The "simpler" method did not work.
[Windows Phone 7 General] index1366:
WORKING!!!

Dude, this thing actually WORKS on my Vodafone branded HTC 7 Trophy (imported from Germany)! Just now updating as I type. I have tried approx. 5-6 times because of the timepoints of disconnection prom the internet. Zune needs about 5-6 seconds for showing the ''no update found'' message, but when I tried disconnecting after 4 seconds, it worked :cool:

Attaching a screenshot for proofing :).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pelnor:
hate jumping though hoops

It's great that solutions like this exist but I hate that they need to. I've never had to trick my PC into getting the latest Windows Update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bbowman:
VPN method worked right away on my TMO DVP.

Had to try a few times but Option 1 worked on my TMobile branded HTC HD7. Thanks.

Bell Canada HD7

Bonebreaker you rock and then some. Got it working on Bell HD7... just decided while it was backing up to cancel and wait though since the almighty chart says Bell is delivering update.. tiered of course

Big thanks again!

EDIT: first option worked!
[Windows Phone 7 General] mwako:
But did you ever "Want" the windows updates like NoDo... :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] s2welee:
Got this to work, just wondering if there is any reason to reset teh registry hack and relock the phone? I can't see one, just wondering.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bruce_X_Lee:
first option worked

Vodafone NZ HTC Trophy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kendallj:
Yeah! - solution 1 worked for me :)

HTC 7 Mozart (Australian Telstra model working on New Zealand's Telecom XT network)

Chevron Unlocked, registry patched to prevent re-locking, and still unlocked post nodo :)

Had earlier upgraded it to 32GB with SanDisk class 4 microSD card - so nodo upgrade process took 1 hour 25 mins with 18GB of Music, Video and Photos.

[Windows Phone 7 General] jamesbyx:
Worked for me USA chev unlocked AT&T Samsung Focus. I used the Hungry server for pre-nodo then the wifi solution for NoDo.

I first removed all my media, then tried uninstalling apps until I was left with nothing.

I had Hard reset the phone for the pre-nodo to finish.

From there I had one error on NoDo but second try worked. I was worried it was the 32 gb micro sd card but I still have it installed. It seems to have fixed my stability issues It has been 3 hours with no restarts. I'll update if the issue resurfaces.

Win 7 Premium

Samsung Focus Success!

AT&T Branded, Developer Unlocked(legally) with just the registry hack and using the vpn, got in my 2nd attempt. Downloaded and installed February update, now on step 7 of NoDo!
[Windows Phone 7 General] aiya24:
I've been trying since last night and today when I came home from work, I figured what the hell and tried putting the phone in airplane mode since I haven't tried that yet so, put the phone in airplane mode, connected to pc through usb, zune started up, went to settings > update and boom it found the update and I just finished the update.

AT&T Samsung Focus chev unlocked, debrander (000-88) and on Tmobile. Everything is still unlocked and unbranded with no issues after NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] asiancuta:
yeah...none of these guys are responding or letting us know how great it is and yada yada
[Windows Phone 7 General] scriller:
you have to change it with a xap file. if the registry editor doesn't allow access then make a xap file to do the trick.
[Windows Phone 7 General] John973:
it worked!!!!!

And since my phone is developer unlocked I can still use my side loaded apps..

..best day ever? I think so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
Well I'll be damned...
[Windows Phone 7 General] asiancuta:
great :) so now it's official that it does work at the 50 second-ish mark, for the Samsung Focus.

i still would like to know if this has ill effects on the battery, lock ups. random reboots, memory in tact, yada yada.

i have no problem flashing and hacking and all that...coming from an Android phone. but this can't be any different than taking a ROM meant for another phone and trying to flash it to another phone..especially HTC to a Samsung or LG. and just getting lucky that it flashed ok.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
Since I'd rather not potentially screw up my phone by making an XAP myself, would someone else be willing to make one? ^^
[Windows Phone 7 General] jsbieber:
SamsungRegistry.xap is what I used for my focus!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MagicXB:
That only works for Samsung devices...
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsedstech:
Im gonna try making one, if i dont screw up my phone then ill go ahead and uupload for you guys, wish me luck lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] ynotm:
i doubt any ill effects. we're not changing the phone identifier sent to windows update, just the IP and carrier. It should be the firmware that matches your phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] asiancuta:
i hope so. i paid full price for my Samsung Focus just so i can get away from the Android phone i had and i was nowhere near my upgrade time. so i'd rather not mess this phone up as i love the way it is now. but faster loading apps would be nice :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] creamhackered:
Good work guys, this is working for me too on AT&T Samsung Focus
[Windows Phone 7 General] John973:
Everything seems alot smoother and haven't really encountered any bugs but then again its only been like 15 mins.

All in all I say the whole update took about 45 mins with the majority of the time being the backup part.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Andrmgic:
My focus is updating to NoDo..

Thanks to the OP and the poster who suggested changing it to 000-88. That was the difference maker.
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsedstech:
yeaaah so sorry guys the farthest i got in trying to make the xap file was

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOpe rator]

idk what to put under that to change the thing to 000-88. any help? :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] tlmii:
I have an unlocked, unbranded (w/ 000-88) Samsung Focus on AT&T and immediately after setting the 000-88 setting, I was able to plug my phone into my computer and it told me that the March 2011 update was available.

I didn't have to do any of the Hungary stuff or counting/stopwatch stuff. It just worked.

Could the difference be because mine is unlocked?

I'm installing right now, I'll tell you all what happens when its done.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TeNsTrKe15:
how do i get to platform? i can only go to system and then theres no platform folder
[Windows Phone 7 General] tlmii:
I think you've got to use a utility that can write directly to the key rather than browse to it. At least, that's how it is on the Samsung devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] John973:
Nope I think I got you beat
[Windows Phone 7 General] KingP1n:
US branded (TMobile) HTC HD7: I was having problems updating my 2nd HD7 phone...it kept telling me I had the most current verstion; however i had updated my another HD7 minutes earlier to NoDo. This is what I did , 1st make sure you're choosing the correct version PPTP Hungary and not LT2P hungary...i made that mistake. Then connect your phone and I turn off the data connection and 3g, leave wifi on for now...I open zune and manually went to device, update and once it was searching for an update i waited 20-25 seconds and i turned off the wifi off , wait 3-5 seconds and then on..(i think i this a couple of times)...like someone here mentioned earlier...and it was able to see the Mar 2011 update...I'm telling you I was stuck at the 7008 update...and this really worked!
[Windows Phone 7 General] elppce:
it worked for my htc hd7!! i turned on zune, search for update, wait 3 seconds, wifi off, and thats it, it found the update, then wifi on!, and is done!!! thanks!!!!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] kronos1:
Good stuff! Updated my HD7 yesterday...now testing all day long and so far is ok..just sms list is somehow upside down...newest sms are not shown first..
[Windows Phone 7 General] feygor:
:( the backup is taking forever, its the longest part of the up date, its took like 15 mins so far
[Windows Phone 7 General] enyaj:
#1 worked for me too. Although it took me more than 10 times. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] olo430:
The same problem and the same solution, that is mean step number 1 doesn't work with 7004.

Australia, Telstra

Really thanks guys
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
before i forced the nodo update, i sent an email to HTC and they replied today morning....

I would note down your case and when I get further information about it I would send you an e-mail to let you be informed. We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing and thank you for your consideration.

[Windows Phone 7 General] edee1337:
Sweet! Worked my first (second) try, LG Optimus 7, at&t.

Don't know if it has been mentioned, but for those of us with Pixel Bender installed, the .pbk file won't execute properly, and the registry entry file provided in the original post may not help the problem. I was able to solve it with this: http://blog.komeil.com/2011/01/fix-pbk-extension-vpn-file-type-adobe.html

That is, of course, after I uninstalled Flash cause I had no idea why nothing was working, haha...

Does anyone know does the NoDo update fix the samsung focus 'freezing and restarting' issue?
[Windows Phone 7 General] CoffeeShark:
Samsung Focus unlocked, on t-mobile

tried unsuccessfully a bunch of times, but once i unbranded with the 000-88 registry hack it grabbed the february pre-nodo, then only needed to try the Solution 1 trick twice to get NoDo.

Thanks to all on XDA
[Windows Phone 7 General] KingP1n:
rickytr23-

glad i could help...seems theres different ways you can force NoDo- but those werent working for me so I"m glad, I could help, those that are having the same issues in the US, plz try this option:

1st make sure you're choosing the correct version PPTP Hungary and not LT2P hungary...i made that mistake. Then connect your phone and I turn off the data connection and 3g, leave wifi on for now...I open zune and manually went to device, update and once it was searching for an update i waited 20-25 seconds and i turned off the wifi off , wait 3-5 seconds and then on..(i think i this a couple of times)...like someone here mentioned earlier...and it was able to see the Mar 2011 update...

[Windows Phone 7 General] Vintage144:
well after numerous attempts it seem the update has appeared , yesterday I tried the Feb update and it worked fine , I tried all the other ways to get nodo , no luck , tried method one ,its updating now , you have to open LAC and hit disable about 3 seconds into the update , then like magic the update shows up (make sure to enable LAC before hitting the update button), i **** you not , i tried all the tricks to avail , i followed this one, just make sure your phone is unlocked,unbranded and use the usb on the back of the pc , the method works im in backup mode right now, backup is worth the effort to get this done
[Windows Phone 7 General] illintentionz:
for those of u with the focus i had to update twice once for a febuary update and and again for the march nodo update
[Windows Phone 7 General] ty.l:
my mistake that worked

I just wanted to let you know of my experience with the NoDo update on an At&t Samsung focus. I got to the point that I was de-branding my phone when I made a dyslexic mistake and entered 888-00 for the MobileOperator. As soon as I connected the phone to my computer that was connected through the VPN to Hungary, the February update showed up with no stopping of the data connection or anything. After the pre NoDo update I connected the phone again to my computer that had an active VPN connection to Hungary and the phone said I had a new update ready… I thought something was wrong but I hit update in Zune and it just found the March update and started loading. I never had to do any stopping of services or anything. :confused:

In the end my Samsung registry editor still worked and I set the MobileOperator back to ATT-US just in case my screwy entry could cause a problem…. It was much easier to make the changes using copy/past after the NoDo update than typing in the reg key before the update. ;)

I have no idea if this was just luck or if it is reproducible, but that is what happened on my phone. I am glad that I found this forum and was able to get the updates. It was frustrating to wait and wait on At&t, and who knows when and if they will ever release the updates to their users.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jorgecpu1:
htc hd 7

yes i tried it on my htc hd 7 and it works i got the NoDo update installed. my phone is still stocked and branded
[Windows Phone 7 General] jamesliu:
Finally after about a week tinkering with my AT&T Samsung Focus to get this update. Now I finally got NoDo!
[Windows Phone 7 General] edved:
Schweet!

After telling myself over and over again that I would not try this b/c I didn't want to spend an inordinate amount of time trying, I got it to go within 10 mins and it's currently installing. Nice.

Not having to WAIT for MS or Rogers...priceless.

Thanks for the thread. Fantastic work!

Who thinks up this stuff?

THANKS!
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Unlocked?

Did you unlock your phone and if you did, how?
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Stocked?

When you say "stocked" do you mean not unlocked??
[Windows Phone 7 General] Steve_Lewis_72:
HTC 7 Mozart (Orange UK)

It worked on the second attempt on my HTC 7 Mozart (locked to Orange UK).

Interestingly, it was rebooting itself every few hours until pre-NoDo fixed it :)

Seems to be responding a bit faster, too soon to judge any changes to battery life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] HkDng:
Sorry for my stupid question: All my SMS will be kept after updating or be deleted?

Thanks.

[edit]

Just read instruction, lost all SMS :(

So people, please do you know any application to backup and restore SMS for Windows Phone 7, even paid app?

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] o0MattE0o:
???

I have kept my SMS I only lost some when I restored the phone to preNoDo so I can keep the phone unlocked :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] HkDng:
Sure?

Read here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/restore-a-backup-to-my-phone.aspx

So we will lost all messages? :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] o0MattE0o:
what that is saying is this: -

You update your phone then you recive 10 SMS messages, you restore to the backup and them 10 SMS are gone...

I have Messages back to the 2nd of March (when I done a reset of the phone) and updated my phone to NoDo lastnight and still have the 2nd of March SMS...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tomcat27:
NoDo update installed using method 1. It took me 8-10 attempts.

Phone: Samsung Omnia 7

Carrier: Unotel Danish phone company

Unbranded, before and after. ( bought the phone in UK branded to Orange)

Lost: nothing, every SMS calenderappointment and everything is still in the phone
[Windows Phone 7 General] AawarA:
I pressed update, counted 1, 2, 3, turned off modem and after few seconds it gave update is available. But I didnt install.

I repeated the above procedure once again and then installed it :). So it worked in both attempts

Phone : Samsung Omnia 7 branded

Carrier : Orange UK

Lost nothing

Update process creates the restore point as well
[Windows Phone 7 General] Rubn86:
Worked like a charm on my unbranded Omnia 7 (BE). Using solution 2 from the 2nd attempt.

[Windows Phone 7 General] wspaw:
Still unlocked

After updating to NoDo, all my apps work and I can still deploy XAPs. Not sure what I did differently than others, but, it DEFINITELY left my phone unlocked.

So... it doesn't relock every phone. I did use the hack to set the phone not to relock and it didn't.
