Hi, HTC Surround

I am updating and it goes to downloading update but fails to go any further. just closes chevron

Any Ideas

Updated fine, but after the update anything related with messaging (SMS's, E-mail some contacts) doesn't work. Orange HTC Mozart running branded 7008...

Updater seems to be offline?

Anyone has got updated Links or a mirror?

Thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 7 General] phez:
Ok, I installed the Debrander xap util and it debranded to 00-88. I then ran Zune and it showed update available. It upgrade phone to 7008 from 7004. But even after that running chevron update still fails.

Maybe it was pulled from the site due to unforeseen problems.

Btw, don't reinstall debrander over your original debrander as it loses the original carrier details :( no I cannot rebrand to at&t unless I do a reg hack *I think*
[Windows Phone 7 General] LordM:
thanks a lot!
[Windows Phone 7 General] landwomble:
great

Worked like a charm for me on a locked, branded HTC Mozart. Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] phez:
Great Success! Switched from my win XP machine to my Win 7 x64 machine and it worked!
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Why was it pulled?

Makes you wonder why it was "pulled", there is no indication in his blog that I could find. Worked fine for me. Some people reported issues but not many.

Focus

On my AT&T Focus, neither the Firmware, Radio or bootloader were updated. Strange, unless AT&T plans a Focus specific release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] anwersaifi:
Thanks.... Works very well om Omnia 7 without any issues. Followed the instructions and was able to install two updates. Now I have 7.0 (7390)

Still hoping Chris can help me get Zune and Marketplace restored on my phone. I'd even go back to a stock ROM right now.

Thanks to the original provider...

I am on ATT Samsung Focus... it worked for me....

I had to run ChevronWP7.Updater twise.. .one for prenodo and second for original

Any how thanks a lot
[Windows Phone 7 General] garekinokami:
problems with marketplace

I had the same problem, so I removed the battery and reboot it. It took a quite a while to pick up on data for some strange reason, but now it's working fine on ATT&T. Didn't have a problem with zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sirpwn4g3:
This hasn't worked for me. We tried several solutions, Chris is supposed to be finding a solution ::fingers crossed::
[Windows Phone 7 General] landwomble:
I applied it, seemed fine (although didn't check marketplace).

Got an official update notification today though - applied hte official NoDo right over the top of the unofficial method. Took ages, worked perfectly. marketplace working, too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] webwalk®:
yea i got a whole bunch of issues after this update..

first: zune crashed whole phone, stuck at red led light, couldnt do anything but remove battery... ive wrote about it here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12695192&postcount=2

then i switched region & language, was looking for bing voice search..

cant press search in categories or marketplace will crash

also ie wont open :eek:

switched back and its working again..

sometimes getting marketplace errors..

[Windows Phone 7 General] Quicksilver4648:
I did this the day after he posted it on his site. I have an AT&T branded Samsung Focus and I am using Window Phone 7 OS version 7.0.7390.0 and have not experience a single issue what so ever. It took two passes through the updater, one for Pre-NoDo and and for NoDo. Copy and Paste works just like it should. I didn't lose a single song, app, photo, functionality, or customized option.
[Windows Phone 7 General] darkstr:
Just did the unlock and NoDo update on my AT&T LG Quantum. I installed the MS Developer tools (create.msdn.com/en-US/) before the Support Tool (dont know if its necessary but thats how it worked for me) rebooted everything and ended up having to unplug the phone usb a couple times and wait 10 - 30 seconds before the unlock and updater worked .. I guess a sync problem.

No problems yet, everything works as before, all data intact. Marketplace and Zune work great.

Thank you all for mirroring these files and the information. Its sad that AT&T is taking so long to get these updates out. Its obvious that its not hurting "most" phones.

The copy paste functions are great, wish I would have done this last week. I have to send(text) AT commands to reprogram gsm devices for my job and was having to forward messages and type phone numbers in over and over ... this would have saved me loads of time.

I understand there "might" be issues getting official updates, but I doubt it. I will keep this thread marked and update if I have issues getting them ...

Good Luck ALL :D

I have the nodo for my att focus. But I did it the old way and it works fine.

[Windows Phone 7 General] boredtoday:
the 64-bit version is temporarily unavailable?
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Confirmed????

WMPoweruser.com confirms from MS that those who used the Chevron Updater to get NoDo have phones that were able to be updated through this method, but are no longer updateable from MS. This is a conclusion from Watson of MS, he does not state it as "might", "possibly", "may" etc. as follows:

""Next Brandon Watson confirmed that the issue of Chevronwp7.Updater putting phones in a “non-upgradable” state was real.

“The net result is that it [the updater tool] was putting phones in a state where they couldn’t be updated from us [Microsoft]. They could be updated, but beyond that, they would not be updatable.”

Microsoft is apparently looking at ways to reverse this situation without users having to send their phones back to the carrier. He insisted this is definitely not FUD, this is a real concern for Windows Phone users.""

However, it seems to me that many people have reported here that they have updated officially after using the Chevron Updater to get NoDo. Those official updates had to come from MS servers so what IS the real story?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jasiug:
Trying to update via Chevron my unlocked HD2 with wp7, and it doesnt really work for me. the update proceeds flawlessly but the phone remains 7004. tried running the updater around five times. any clues? thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Awesome_Space:
Same here, but with 7008 ... :(

Is it possible to succeed with update, when relock the device, update it and then unlock it again?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dee Touch:
Painless and easy....

Just for info...ran the updater today and everything went smoothly.

I have Samsung omnia 7 dev unlocked using Chevron but branded to Tmobile Uk.

As per per the title the whole process is painless and took only 15 mins total and that's running the updater twice to get pre Nodo and then Nodo (7390).

no issue with Market place... messaging..email..camera.. all is good.

before this I was had tried the Hungary VPN thing did@nt work!... was also looking into registry edit software to debrand my phone..in the end did'nt do it cause the Updater works amazingly.

Dee.
[Windows Phone 7 General] WallCrusher:
Just read about that here:

http://thenextweb.com/microsoft/201...our-wp7-handset-you-cant-upgrade-any-further/

Not sure why it would be locked to Nodo though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
ATT Focus

I also used the Chevron Updater and updated to 7390. I received a notification via Zune for the standard update last night and tried to update. Went through all steps and then I got an error 80180005 for which I could find no explanation, but the update failed. I then plugged my USB cable to the back USB ports on my laptop and the installation succeeded and changed the bootloader number, firmware and radio software numbers. These numbers were NOT CHANGED with the NoDo update from the Chevron Updater method.
[Windows Phone 7 General] StevieBallz:
There are different kinds of updates. Some update the phones firmware like the HTC-Update or only change settings in a few files like the May Update will likely do to block the compromised SSL certificates.

OS Updates are a different story. Microsoft is as far as I can tell providing incremental updates. So as the Chevron-Updater does not deploy some of the language files they are missing and as the next update relies on those to be present it will most likely fail.

We don't know which other packages are missing from the mix but as people are reporting that the HTC tool to connect to hidden WiFi networks does not work on Chevron updated phones it is likely that certain device drivers have not been updated as well.

The problem therefore is not with a broken update system but with the execution of the updates themselves. To make matters worse in all likelihood it is not possible to find out if a phone was updated officially or using Chevron so it is not as easy as providing different update packages for the differently updated phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gentry33:
If the Chevron updated phones are receiving carrier issued updates wouldn't they be officially updated? The only thing that seems to be missing is a restore point to 7004, maybe that is related but even that does not make any sense as the phones are being updated and that future os updates should create restore point to previous os version. So what am I missing?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
Is nodo out for the omnia7 unbranded?

I just to have nodo before repair (by using zunde than dropping the connection) now its back from service and it was set back t0 7004, I updated to 7008 but I would like to have the latest build with the new sam firmware as well. But zune is not being friendly to me... does this take a few days or does nobody have NoDo on an omnia 7 the normal way?
[Windows Phone 7 General] darkstr:
Just wanted to update this ...

I got my official update from AT&T last week and everything with the phone seems fine .. as it was before. Update went smoothly no errors. I guess MS figured a way to update without bricking phones.

Good Luck again ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] jessenic:
Install them on your PC. Download just the whole package from http://create.msdn.com and install it on your PC. It is needed for installing/deploying apps on your phone.

If you really wanna thank me, pm me and I can refer a link to create a dropbox account so I can get more space. It's useful enough that I have 3 GB of data on it, and I do recommend.

[General Questions and Answers] alissa7:
Does anyone know of any browsers that either have the ability to "bind" keys, or have directional buttons?

What I need to do is mimic the left and right arrow keys found on a normal keyboard.

I know there are a few keyboard apps that have these, but the problem is the page I need to use this on doesnt have a text box so the keyboard 1. does not pop up, and 2. does not interpret the arrows correctly.

Basically the page Im trying to do this on is a flash based page where you press either the left or right arrow key to get your next assignment. There are no visual "next" and "back" buttons on the page, which is making this really hard! :confused:

I just tried this app, and set my search key to "dpad left" and it didnt work in the browser... Maybe its not possible, idk.

Can someone please help me?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kidd_Funkadelic:
Every mention I've seen to the wonders of Titanium Backup tend to say that only installed apps & data should be restored, but not system data. I'm wondering if there ever IS a scenario that one would want to restore system data and if not, why is it an option?

Thanks.

Personally I use Titanium to backup and restore my sms/mms, but that's the only system data I do it for. I know there are other ways to backup/restore sms, but as far as I know TB is the only method that works for mms. I try not to mess around with the other system data however, just in case it messes something up.

For those familiar with Ziggy's work, he finally compiled a kernel for the Thunderbolt. It is a beta kernel so there will be bugs, so test it out. For reporting bugs please comment on his website. I am in no way affiliated with Ziggy, just wanted to spread the news.

Will try to update as much as possible.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] CorporateGoth:
Has nobody heard of 'Google' anymore?

The first link when you search for exactly that:

[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
What are you some kinda angry nerd? You tend to get better explanations about PHONE questions on a PHONE message board. How each effects a PHONE vs Linux....

Take a step back and stop being an angry phone nerd.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
To cut it short,

BFS is generally faster, but has its hickups when multitasking.

CFS can be a little lower in quad scores (which mean nothing in my opinion) but do better on multitasking.

I prefer CFS, its smoother to me.. Try em both, it depends on what you prefer and what your phone can handle
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Fodizzle1978:
Nobody in the forums hate anything more than answering silly questions...always search before posting...especially development forums. If you have a simple questions, post in the general thread or simple google search and you will find your answers...not being harsh...just stating facts.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] psufan5:
What was I thinking... BFS vs CFS is so common. I was actually going to ask my mom about it.

Nikolai2.1 - thank you very much. See how easy that was? Instead you guys decide to insult and argue, taking up MORE comment space.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] khanam:
This thread is becoming funny. Guys, even if you want people to search, please be polite. No point being too challenging. Many people ask simple questions because they want to hear answers in laymen terms. Please be kind - you were a noob once too.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nikolai2.1:
I dont mind answering questions, but some others do. and thats okay, honestly this really shouldnt be in the development section, but im not gonna get mad
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeoD:
Actually I disagree. A well researched article will give you or anyone else much more info than 10 people expressing what their opinion is on the topic.

Also he did not only google it for you but he posted the link for you as well. I also did not see him sling any names at you.

Maybe a Thank You should be in order.

It might also be noteworthy to address that this belongs in the General Section not Development.

Good Luck

I see both angle's really. if the statement was just go search then yeah. He did in fact supply the info. Might not be to yours or my liking but I do take the words for what they are. I try not to read into them to much. We must remember emotions are very difficult to read. ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] LeoD:
agreed! and with that my last post about this, don't want to hyjack ziggy's kernel thread any further.

Go Mom!!! haha sorry I had to. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] houseboatwayne:
What is Google? :)

Ziggy do you recommend ondemand or smartass with your current CFS versions? Also had back down to a 1.7 speed. Getting lockup at 1.8 on both govs.

Scary fast just not sure if smartass is ready.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jlevy73:
The other big difference IMO is CFS is stable, BFS is still experimental. I forgot who coded BFS (big props to that guy) but it still needs to be optimized and will no doubt be the kernel of choice for dual core devices because of it's scheduler optimizations. But that being said, CFS is still the mainline for Google as well as developers like Cyanogen because it is more stable than BFS.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ziggy471:
Yeah, I figured most would get lockups at 1.8, but decided to include it anyway, not sure if it's a voltage thing or not, still need to play more with that. I also need to re-do most of the acpuclock-7x30 code, I'm not happy with how it was originally done. I'm also not happy with the frequency table, so I have a lot of work to do with those.

Smartass is ready, and all issues that I know of I've fixed, to include a working sysfs interface. That way you can control EVERYTHING for smartass. Most of the time when a Kernel Dev says they're 'tweaking' smartass, they mean they're modifying some of the parameters for smartass in the variables at the top of the code that control how it functions. The original smartass patchset I found had issues with not having a working sysfs interface, so I fixed that. I've also moved all the mods to those outside of the code and into Kconfig options so I don't have to modify them in the code anymore.

All smartass sysfs files are located at: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass. A good explanation of sysfs is here. So for example, to change the up_min_freq, echo 9999999 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/smartass/up_min_freq. That'll cause smartass to scale to the maximum frequency of the current policy instead of scaling one step at a time.

If you want to change the voltage levels for the processor, they're in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels. To see the current voltage table, cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels. To change just one freq, echo "806400 950" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels. That'll change 806 to 950mV. To change all freqs up or down, use echo "+25" or "-25". NOTE: All values must be multiples of 25mV.

Con Kolivas did BFS, http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/. He also did the CK patchset for linux. I agree, it still needs some work, and may not be the best choice, but it does make our phones ROCK!!!! The reasons you state are why it hasn't been included in the mainline yet, CFS is the scheduler in the mainline, and has been forever. BFS is just a simpler concept, and I hope it makes it into the mainline as an alternative to CFS eventually. Until then, I plan on including it when possible.

I'm on the cfs version for more than 12 hrs and must say battery life is amazing also oc'd to 1.8 and battery is still cool .
