Ok I definitively can't update my phone :(

After the first reboot, the phone stays at the "please plug the USB cable" screen, and nothing happens.

After a while, Zune reboots the phone and tells me there was a timeout.

I don't know what to do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Yeah, but you're not changing the OEM settings. The interesting thing here is that OS wise, all NoDo ROMs are identical for all carriers. The only customization carriers can do is to pre-install apps and change APNs, voicemail numbers etc.

I realize it worked for you in the end, but another little trick for those still trying - keep an eye on your signalstrenght while doing the Zune update, a couple seconds after it changes to 3G+ or H turn off your data connection. There is no need to count thirtyeleven seconds, the key is a few seconds after your data connection goes active.

LOL. This was known like four months ago :)

That's because 000-88 was eligeble to get the NoDo update anyway, however this rollout was "random" and "throttled". My LG device got NoDo (using 000-88) on the 22nd whereas my Omnia7's didn't. Other users had their Omnia7's updated but not their LGs. It seems Hungary was chosen by MS as the first roll out to everyone country though.

I'd reset it to the original value even though it really shouldn't make a difference.

So according to my calculations, hundreds if not thousands of people have got this to work using 000-88, I think I'm entitled to some beers ;D

Yeah - this is one of the things carriers can customize. There is a registry key you can edit to get the toggle back though.

[Windows Phone 7 General] mrjetking:
Great stuff - worked for me on a debranded (was Vodafone UK) LG Optimus 7.

Used the MobileOperator code 000-88 as suggested earlier in this thread and it worked in about 10 attempts, varying the time. 20 seconds for me btw...

Really Thanks! This works for my HTC HD7 from Hong Kong (unbranded).

by the way, my timing is about 15 seconds.

After having made a succesfull connection with EUROIP PPTP Hungary, do I have to turn off my regular WiFi connection in order for this to work?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
You shouldn't have WiFi on at all. I found just changing my ID to 000-80 did the trick without having to even connect to a Hungary server. This of course may be because I'm using non-US servers already.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sebo1985:
Finally I made it!

It didn't work for me with the data connection method, but with the WiFi method (toggling wifi while leaving the data connection shut down).

Samsung Focus, formerly AT&T

It was the first try today with wifi and seemed not to be that time critical, even though you have to act faster on wifi.

At home, were my PC and my Focus were on the same wifi it didn't work out. Here in university with ethernet and wifi it did work, so there is eventually another little hickup in the procedure.

Bonebreaker you ARE da man! I was having tons of issues with stuttering Zune marketplace music, app marketplace crashes etc. I was really hating my Focus but after updating to NoDo all those issues are gone! Using your guide to force this update prevented me from turning away from WP7! Thank you brotha! ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bonebreaker:
Great it worked for you!

I couldn't be happier with my Omnia 7 as well! Marketplace finally is stable and fast! Hoorray! :)

DONT INSTALL NODO UPDATE if you wanna use your .xap apps! Because it WONT WORK ANYMORE :( including chevronwp7!!!!

FFS!!!!!

I'm doing a restore now from Zune, i hope it works!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] dob3k:
Finnaly done it ;] got NoDo forced in. Took a sh** lot of times to achieve that. Wouldn't work before 000-88. After applying 000-88 took few times and finally march update pop out :D too bad i was so excited that i forgot to turn Wi-Fi on so update [EPIC] failed, but after i knew its working and knew the right timing it was a doodle to do it again =]

Any1 have an idea where zune keep backup firmware for restore?

did someone manage to update nodo in htc trophy and mozart? it seems samsung focus, omnia 7, htc hd7 and LGs only got their update using this trick?.. and it also seems working only in US/Europe and for some HD7s in Carrier Singtel (Singapore), Malaysia and Hongkong..

hmmm.. hmmm..
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
HOLY ****!

IT WORKS!

Seriously, I tried over 2 hours yesterday with 3G. Today, I read about wifi and tried. It worked on the second time.

Also, be sure to have your mobileoperator set to 000-88.

You're a ****ing genious, Bonebreaker!

P.S.: HTC Trophy, Vodafone DE.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Xebec:
I have an AT&T Samsung Focus. If I apply the NODO update using this method, is it possible to revert back to the original version once AT&T finally gets around to releasing the "official" update (likely in June)? I'm worried about getting future updates using this method.
[Windows Phone 7 General] saitir:
Awesome, worked!

Omnia 7, T-mobile UK, w/ unbranded firmware.

Got the update to show up using cellular data on/off but forgot to disconnect the VPN before starting download.

Couldn't get the timing right a second time until I switched over to Wifi. Took about 70 minutes end to end.

Cheers!
[Windows Phone 7 General] superaca:
have moving to ethernet connection about half an hour, still no luck....

[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
Err, I just follow the step posted by OP.

After failed with the Data Connection method,

I applied the 000-88 or something similar reg hack and try the wifi method.

Don't know which 1 really makes the magic.

So if you tried wifi but still failed, maybe apply the 000-88 reg hack can help.

But there is something that I found out is, if you use WiFi method, you can wait for around 60 sec then disable your wifi, then keep waiting Zune to check up, your phone should give you update notification, keep waiting, then Zune will show March Update is available, hope this help~

Remark: Step 8 of 10 now...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tim.Smith:
Those of you whose phones locked after updating, my phone is still unlocked and I think the difference may be I did the "don't relock" hack. Which is a registry edit or an option in the Samsung Tools if you have them. So if you haven't updated yet make sure you apply that.

[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
OK. F. Microsoft hard.

I have 3.96GB free on my damn phone and I still get error: 800705B4 for the Feb. 2011 update. And I refuse to do a stupid hard reset since I actually have Music Shark (Groove Shark) installed on this thing, along with Twin Blades. And neither are in the stupid marketplace anymore.

How much space am I supposed to actually have on this stupid thing for a freaking update to work?!
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
In my experience, you need to have under 3GB used, at least for the Focus. You have only 3.96 GB free after wiping out all of your music/video/podcasts?

Of course, you could try deleting all your apps other than Music Shark and Twin Blades.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stryderxx:
It's good to see that you were finally successful Tim. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] zetomtom:
It doesn't seem to be a free space problem, as I have 5.29Gb free on my Omnia 7 (I almost deleted everything). And I still have this damn error (see http ://actionthomas.free.fr/temp/zune4.png).

This just sucks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
LOL.this is awesome...it is working.I think that the Wi-FI way is more realiable than data connection.whaat you need is just a timer in the whole process.

thanks guys

[Windows Phone 7 General] ammarmalik:
Flashed my Omnia 7 to JK ROM and got the update on the 2nd try. Awesome!
[Windows Phone 7 General] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Thanks a LOT for this!

I took me roughly 20 minutes to get the notification. However, I just gave up after the last attempt - so I had closed Zune before I noticed the notification on my phone.

That gave me the energy to try another few times, and i quickly got it again (25 minutes total).

I just my music as a stopwatch. That made the waiting much less boring :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] DrAkO82:
It worked on my unbranded Telus Optimus 7 but i need to use the stopwatch trick...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Verkunder:
Six hours, both Wifi and data methods. Deleted all content. Zune always times out. Officially giving up.

I wasn't a big complainer about this update, but when people have to sit on their phones for hours (or minutes, for those lucky) trying to get this update THAT WORKS on their phones, it gets my panties in a wad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wsantiagow:
I was in the exact same boat as you were in and the update not showing up. I do believe its randomness. I finally got it to work just by going back to turning off the WiFi and using 3G. I have the AT&T Samsung Focus and located in Jacksonville, Florida US (reference). :D

Phone is still UNLOCKED!!! Up yours ATT!!!!!

[Windows Phone 7 General] kazman13:
so when i switch to carrier settings a described in this post i want to double check im doing this correct.

go to setting then to cellular then i shut off data connection is this correct?

problem is the times change from 24 seconds to 36 seconds and up and it seams like after 3 tries i need to resest the connection to try again.

fudge guys i just want to get this to work and sounded like the best news i have heard in a while.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trixnix:
no go for me either. unbranded htc mozart philippines. sigh.
[Windows Phone 7 General] surfing10:
No go for me on Focus.

Doesn't work so far. Unbranded Optimus 7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
Tried millions of times on my HD7 O2 UK branded - no go at any time from 10 secs to 35 secs - always gets a connection error.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
I tried many times. Finally I got enough counting with my head, took my GFs i4 and used the timer to see how long time it took before error message occured. At exactly, 34 sec, the message appeared. Did it again, turned the data connection off at exactly 33sec. The NoDo showed up.;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
So the idea is VPN to the Hungary server which is the only one providing the updates.

Question is. How is this linked to "Data connection" on my cell phone?

It hasn't worked for me, and I timed it right before the error. At 35 seconds.

So, for those of you who got it working. I'm guessing you had "Use cellular data connection to check for updates" checked on your phone settings?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Halle:
Yes indeed I had that one checked. But, try again. It's not easy and feels impossible. Then suddenly it shows up. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bonebreaker:
I have extended my instructions:

Be sure "Use cellular data connection to check for updates" is active

Thanks for the hint!

not sure exactly what this means

Important step 6.:

After a few seconds (about 10-15 seconds for me) disable data transfer on the already opened settings tab on your phone

im not sure what this means. if im in my settings area on my phone, where to i navigate to get to this?

also, what will this do to my carrier?? will i become unbranded and cannot use my service anymore?

[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Just a quick pointer to those who cannot get this to work.

If you have previously "unbranded" your phone using the HKLM/System/Platform/DeviceTargetingInfo/MobileOperator "hack" this will not work - at least it didn't for me with a blank string. I kept getting "your phone is up to date" messages in Zune. Once I reset the string to 000-88 (which is still unbranded) it updated first try.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zailynne:
Has anyone who is locked to 3 Sweden had any luck with this? Because, I've tried like a hundred times, for like an hour now and haven't got it working... :S
[Windows Phone 7 General] brummiesteven:
You navigate to the Network screen before you connect, The one where you select your network and roaming options etc... there's a data connection toggle there, toggle that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] alessandro.tagliapietra:
Didn't worked for me, tried with 10,13,15,17 etc until 35 secs, after 35 it says phone is updated, so i've tried with 30,31,32,33,34,35 multiple times, near 32 says cannot check updates, above says it's updated.

[Windows Phone 7 General] guizzy:
This is right, it's currently updating on my Telus branded Optimus 7, but I did have to set the MobileOperator registry key to 000-88.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tony.Montana.:
Great!

Thanks to all your suggestions I've finally made it!

Here's how with my unbranded Omnia 7.

I used the wifi way, so first of all I turned on the wifi and made the wifisync work with zune.

I unchecked the the second checkbox in "Settings" > "Phone update" (usa data to update).

I disabled the data transfer in the settings.

I connected to EUROIP PPTP Hungary.

I checked for phone update on zune.

For the last step I'm not so sure because I got exited for the WIN and now I can't remember if the update showed up automatically or I was in flight mode on from the start.. :D

However give this method a try and let me know.

Cya and thanks again :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dememted1:
Oh Yeh!!! a big thanx to whoever worked this method out Nice one. 45 seconds wait time and there it was! tapped ok on the phone then did the prevent from relock hack and oh yeh baby.... it's still unlocked....

In settings/phone update, UNCHECK "Use cellular data connection..."

Follow the directions, including those quoted here.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Loki1973:
It definately works... Or at least, Zune notifies for the update, and so does my HTC 7 Pro and HTC Trophy.

It just doesn't seem able to download, which looks like a BITS error, but the method to actually get to the update DOES work!

Anybody try the on/off trick? I tried about 60 times last night and never got it to prompt me for the update but I was reading wpcentral this morning and a commenter there said he got it to work by turning the data off and on every 2 seconds (avoiding the whole timing issue). Just wondering if that is actually a solution to try when I get home after work.

Is anyone else having this problem?

NoDo and AT&T Focus

Got 7008 installed by downloading the Samsung Registry tool and setting MobileOperator to 000-88. I'm not having any luck with the NoDo update though. Here's what I am doing:

Connecting my laptop to a proxy in Hungary using PPTP

Turning off WiFi and Airplane mode on the phone

Ensuring the Phone Update boxes are checked on the phone

Starting the Zune software

Opening the Cellular settings on the phone

In the Zune Software going to Settings > Phone > Update

Waiting between 10-15 seconds and disabling the data connection on the already opened Cellular panel

It comes back telling me the software is up-to-date. I've tried to time the check and subtract a second or so but it's still not working. Any thoughts?

For 7008 I hit the same issue - I switched USB ports and tried again - it worked the second time through.

[Windows Phone 7 General] mfaist:
Finally!!!

This was so frustrating, but I finally got it.

I got to the point where my phone was telling me there was an update available, but zune would either time out or say that I was up to date.

Once I switched to the wi-fi method, I got it on the third try.
