ammarmalik: i don't know if it is the same for the omni as the focus. I have a focus. I chevron unlocked it, then sideloaded the SamsungRegistry.xap, ran the app, and blanked out a specific registry field: HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator

I'm with ATT so that field for me was set to ATT-US i just made it blank so the field had nothing in it. This is how you unbrand. After doing this you can get the 7008 update if you haven't got it already.

Again, I do not know if this works the same for the Samsung Omni, I did it on my Samsung Focus. Here is a link with more instructions: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1004487

I'd be interested to know if anyone has gotten NoDo (7390) via the method here on this thread to a Samsung Focus in the USA.
[Omnia 7 General] ZaForD:
Thanks for the info dude :)

Worked here after 30+ atempts.

UK T-Mobile Omnia7 unbranded with JK1 firmware.

Two points that may help overs getting errors.

1. If your using a laptop switch off WLAN (WiFi) and use the Ethernet port.

2. after starting USAIP check your Network settings and wait till it says it connected to the internet, before starting the process.

So how do I open the pbk file? Tried to open it with rasphone.exe but it didn't work.

OS: Windows 7 x64
[Omnia 7 General] iposminus:
Samsung omnia 7

ROM: I8700XENJK1

The problem was with my primary carrier (TUŠMOBIL, Slovenia) as it has poor signal here and today they have some problems so I was roaming and I didn't have data connection at all. I switched SIM cards to other carrier (SiMobil, Slovenia) and it worked in third attempt.
[Omnia 7 General] dawnrazr:
you just double click the pbk file, don't need any program to open it?

I got this from MobileTechWorld:

"OK, USAIP.pbk wouldn't open, so I put it in %SystemRoot%\System32\Ras. Than I ran %SystemRoot%\System32\rasphone.exe."
[Omnia 7 General] evolutionqy7:
Tried everything at this stage. Ill just have to settle for a more stable way or just wait for the official update.

The status for update on my carrier is set scheduling. So should be long.

Last time the pre-nodo hit most people on my network the minute it was released. I got it a week later after release. So expect it soon enough
[Omnia 7 General] uristic:
anyone with I8700XXJJ6 firmware managed to do this ? I tried at least 50+ times. My phone is not braned and plus I removed the carrier info via registry.
[Omnia 7 General] Bernhard005:
Hi.

Opening with rasphone didn't work for me, too.

Here's the solution:

Open registry (regedit.exe) and check following values:

path: HKCR\.pbk

Entry-Name: (Default)

Value: pbkfile

path: HKCR\pbkfile

Entry-Name: FriendlyTypeName

Value: @%SystemRoot%\system32\rasdlg.dll,-353

perhaps you have to reboot. However, it should work if you right click the file and chose "open with".

[Omnia 7 General] monotheist:

Worked for me, tried a few times, the trick is to close the Data Connection at the end almost. Keep trying and you should get it.

Make sure you are connected to PPTP Hungary as it gets disconnected sometimes. If you get "Phone is up to date" then you are not connected to PPTP and you need to reconnect again.

[Omnia 7 General] yipcanjo:
No luck for me. Got connected via PPTP just fine, and could definitely see the difference when waiting to *just* before the time-out period. It took 30 seconds to time-out for me, and the sweet spot was right around 28 seconds when I would turn off the data connection, but even another 20 seconds after that it would give a "could not connect to web" type error in the Zune software. Also tried at 5 seconds, 10, 15, 20, 25, and intervals in-between. Never prompted to update :(

After killing the data connection on my phone, I killed the VPN connection (because it took longer than usual to get error message) and now it says that the March update is available.

All I had to do was the PPTP Hungarian Trick and then:

Disable Wifi in the cellphone

Go to settings

Go to the mobile operator screen and enable data transfer.

Go to zune and press update

Count to 30-35 seconds and voila an update message arrived to my phone.

After that press update in zune and you can disable the PPTP.

[Omnia 7 General] Heathcliff74:
Did someone try the "Prevent relock" trick before updating. "Prevent relock" can be applied like this or with this tool. If you have unlocked your phone and applied the "prevent relock" tweak before you update to NoDo, your phone should still be unlocked after the NoDo update. I'd be interested to see if someone with a Samsung device can confirm this. :)

Another question: After I updated to 7.0.7008 I found that there was not made a restore-point / backup. When I open Zune and go to Settings / Phone / Update, it only says "Your phone is up to date. Current phone software version: 7.0 (7008)". It does not show a "Restore" button as it should. Has anyone seen this? And if that happened after the february update, do you get the "Restore" button after the march update?

Thanks!
[Omnia 7 General] Miguel12345:
Thanks for the 000-88 registry trick.

I've been trying at least an hundred times and got nothing, because I set my registry key to nothing some days ago (unbranded HD7, but wanted to try), then I tried a few tilmes with 000-00, and now I got it on the second try with 000-88.

Well done to you guys though, I hate Microsoft and these ****ty updates.
[Omnia 7 General] bnlf:
Few additional tips for Samsung (maybe others) users:

You WILL NEED to change your mobile operator to "000-88":

- Use samsung registry.xap (search for it in xda)

- Make sure you are editing the correct registry key

HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator SET String -> 000-88

(no case sensitive). After writing try reading and see if you get "GETString: 000-88" to make sure everything is ok. If you get anything other than this, then you made something wrong.

- Make sure your phone has access to the internet through 3G before trying the nodo hack (very important)

- While connected to hungary via PPTP make a ping (start->run->"ping -t somewebesite") cmd to a local website to make sure you are still connected to hungary tunnel while trying to get the update. Latency while connected to hungary pptp should be a lot higher than your normal latency.

- Once you get the warning about an update you may disconnect from hungary pptp. (before hiting update button)

Working on my At&T unlocked Samsung Focus in Brazil :cool::cool::cool:
[Omnia 7 General] bnlf:
you MUST have access to the internet using 3G. Flight mode MUST be off and your 3g MUST be fully working. Try browsing the internet before connecting your phone to Zune to verify everything is ok.

If your using samsung you also need the 000-88 mobile operator fix.

For Samsung Focus on ATT do you have to unlock/unbrand the phone? Is it possible to not have to through all that crap? Am i wasting my time trying to time it right without unbranding my phone?
[Omnia 7 General] CreepinJesus:
Worked for me, everyone! It took a few tries, but after reading about everyone else's attempts, it seems what to do is this:

Connect to the Hungary connection

Turn off WiFi on the phone, leave data ON

Run an update in Zune and count how long it takes to show it failed or is up to date already

With the data connection still ON, run the update again, but turn the data OFF a few seconds before the time it took to do the first check

Wait another few seconds and up pops the update!

For example, a check with data ON for me took 51 seconds, so the second time I turned off the data connection after 45 seconds, and the update showed.
