Worked perfectly on first try, thanks!

Edit: Unfortunately, Zune isn't finding an update for my focus. It says your phone is up to date: 7.0 (7004)

Any tips?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
What ROM did you flash?

Search for Unbranding (try MobileOperator from "ATT-US" to "" if on AT&T)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] ryude:
I flashed UCKJ2 the AT&T one, I have a 1.3 Focus.

I debranded to 000-88 and I still get no updates.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
That's a bit weird. Try "" not "000-88". That worked for me with AT&T rom.

Btw, the phone is AT&T branded?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] ryude:
I tried "", "000-88", and "ATT-US". Nothing works.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] dasbin:
I am having this exact same problem. I flashed the Rogers one though (my phone IS Rogers branded). I am stuck at 7004 and Zune doesn't find updates.

Tried de-branding as well with no success.

Didn't work so I flashed the whole thing again then immediately tried to find an update after a fresh start. Still no luck either.

"All signs point to tomorrow as a big day for Windows Phone and Mango, so it shouldn't be of too much surprise that those same servers that will be pushing out Mango to the masses have been turned off.

Specifically, some folks are now trying to upgrade to the developer build (7712) or even the security update (7392) for various reasons and they are finding that Microsoft's servers are reporting their phones as being "up to date" even though they were on the very old 7004 (aka pre-NoDo). Users at XDA and WPCentral forums have both reported the same phenomenon of not being able to do any updates."

So yea... fingers crossed ;)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] ryude:
I hope that is the case, otherwise I will be a very sad panda :(
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] deon10:
Hey guys,

I have an At&t Focus... but i'm not in the US right now and using another SIM card from a different carrier. Would I still be able to update to Mango?

Does the Zune recognize the phone has an update even if i'm not on At&t right now?

Thanks
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] ryude:
Updates are given out based on location and branding, has nothing to do with your sim card.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] deon10:
So if I'm not in the US (Morocco) I won't get it ?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] ryude:
I suggest waiting to see if the update arrives for your phone over the following days.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] mattymon:
I have an unlocked AT&T version 1.4 focus. However, im on the rogers network. Is it possible to port the ROGERS rom onto it? If so how.

Thank You
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sanibak:
If your having no luck getting the update, this may help

I am in Australia on Vodafone and have Rev 1.3 Focus. I am now Mangofied :D, but it took some doing. I was on NoDo, but to get to Nodo I had unlocked the handset using the Chevron fake developers certificate method and unbrand the handset.

I tried numerous times with the pull Ethernet cable within 1-2 seconds force update method (touted on the numerous web sites), however all I got was either Zune could not contact update server or my handset had the latest update.

I finally used the downgrade process in the start of this thread to role back all the way to 7004. Once I did this it happily updated all the way to Mango. :D (it took about 1.5 hrs and 4 update cycles) . I suspect this is either due to the certificate or the unbranding. I did not rebrand the phone first, so I dont know if it was the rebranding to ATT or removing of the certificate, loaded using Chevron, that did the trick.

Of course if you downgrade to 7004 it wipes everything so be prepared to reload all apps, lose SMS data, or any other phone specific information, if your Focus in loaded up.

Help

i Have mango beta 2 OS:7.10.7712

Firmware: 2103.11

I got an update to the final release mango i tried and it failed

Also i do not have a restore file anywhere on my computer

Will flashing this ROM work to bring me back down and just upgrade all the way back up to mango???
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Shortly, yes. First, start Zune and connect the phone; if it doesn't continue then that's the path you have to go.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] dommo15:
Thank you i will try when I get home, I have tried through Zune and it gave me an error so I will try this and then comment later

Quick N00b Questions guys

Just received my Samsung Focus v1.4 unlocked phone (AT&T). Still on 7004 version.

1) Can I use the ROM mentioned in the 1st post to unbrand it (remove all AT&T stuff and make it retail or stock or whatever it is called :) ). I am basically interested in this. Is it possible?

2) Can I follow the guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973420 to do it?

3) Which ROM to use for v1.4 hardware? I guess

4) Anything else I should keep in mind??
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
If you could flash the Rogers rom, then yes, all your points are valid. Otherwise, my advice would be to try to do as little flashing as possible if you have 1.4. This HW version is known to be iffy.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] khandu:
Any guide to chevron unlock? and advantages..

Hmm.. thinking if I should try with rogers or not as u say 1.4 is flaky..
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Here is the Chevron unlock thread, has a video tutorial as well.

I really don't think you can flash Rogers on hw 1.4, but I'm not the expert on what works on 1.4
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] khandu:
Thanks.. I have already chevroned it.. :) .. any particular apps good for this device.. Ive got samsung tools, registry editor and that's it.. no file browser

Confirmed, cannot put rogers on hw 1.4... sucks..

now the stupid wait for mango.. what a waste.. :(
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:

[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] mfarlow:
Same here, haven't been able to get the downloader to work at all. My Machine in an x32 though so I don't think that has anything to do with it.

After immediately starting the WP7 Downloader Ver 7.21 for All Device (publish version).exe I get the following error message:

Cannot Image File Please Try again!

When I click Close Dialog It opens up the downloader, but all options are greyed out. Any ideas what might be wrong?

I'm running windows 7 SP1 32 bit, if that helps.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
You're doing it wrong, you're supposed to run WP7_Downloader_Ver_7.05_for_Retail_Device_(Product _Force_Select_MD5_X).exe

Read my mini-guide here.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] mfarlow:
I tried that first, and I get the same error. Doesn't seem to matter which exe I run I always get:

Cannot Image File Please Try again!

The only one that seems to run is "WP7 Downloader Ver 7.21 for All Device (Publish version).exe"
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Try running as administrator? 7.21 is not the one, you need to get 7.05 to run. Try backward compatibility to XP SP3 if needed, or even another comp.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] mfarlow:
I'll try on another PC, running as admin doesn't make any difference. Thanks for the help.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kimck99:
Hi all,

I am currently on a Walshed 7390 and my HW is v1.4.

I have been unsuccessful in unWalshing my phone so I thought I try flashing to 7004 per this thread. I downloaded the v1.4 ROM and ran the 7.21 executable. I was able to load the appropriate bin files per the gui of the 7.21 downloader.

At first, my phone was not detected. Then I downloaded and installed the Samsung USB Driver v5.2 and it worked. So I started the flashing process and after a few seconds, my phone rebooted. However, when checked my phone, the OS still says it's 7390. Is there something else I need to do or am I hosed due to Walshing? Here is my log:

Prior to starting the flashing, I removed my SD card and hard resetted the phone. I would appreciate it if anyone has any suggestion.

Thanks
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
For 1.3 you need to run 7.05, not the 7.21 executable.

I'm assuming you should do the same for 1.4.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kms108:
both version should work, I flashed to both at&t and rogers without any problem, i using rogers at the moment, because it has no junk programs installed.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kimck99:
I tried using the 7.05 but got an error that the image will not load or something to that extent. 7.21 worked to load the .bin files.

Thanks
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
so after reading all 15 pages I have two questions I would like to confirm before I flash.

1. If I do this will I have to activate the phone with a key from Microsoft every time I do a hard reset? (I am familiar with this since I also have an HD2)

2.) The Rodgers ROM works on the 1.3 Focus and has no carrier branding what-so-ever? (This is important because the whole reason I want to flash is to get rid of the at&t crap)

Thanks in advance to anyone who can confirm these things for me.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] chingoo04:
demo focus

hi i have a demo focus running on 7004 build. I tried to flash with the above software tool. it keep saying "This Device does NOT match with selected binary. Downloader will NOT do anything"

Anyone could tell me how to solve this problem?

thx
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] SuperSport:
1. No

2. Correct (Although, I believe you can just delete the ATT Apps, can't you? Oh, it leaves behind the ATT Boot Screen...)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
AT&T added more customisation to the ROM, it's not just apps you can delete, there is altered functionality as well. For example, SMS delivery report is disabled completely - you need a registry editor to enable it etc. And there are other changes.

Rogers ROM is closest to the Focus "factory" state, that is correct.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] voluptuary:
Ok so I'm pretty sure it won't work but I've edited two files within the CSC file (7-zip opens it) but I have no idea how to add them back or recomplie the CSC file 7-zip says its a cab file but that doesnt seem to be correct. Anyone know how to recompile these files?

Anyways here are the two files that seem to set the carrier crap.

C3AD84D2-E6AB-4fef-9DC8-C76A9A864731.rgu

CSC_Config.reg

Also is there an engineering ROM out there for the focus like there are for the omnia? I think if I found that and combined that csc with the Rogers ROM that would be what I am looking for.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] mfarlow:
So I tried it on various PC's and get the same error. Oh well, looks like no mango for me. :(
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Sierra76:
Is it possible to flash my Samsung Focus with the rogers rom? I do really hate that AT&T changes, I miss sms reporting and other weird stuff happens too.

My target is to do changes to Rogers 7004 and add Polish language, then install all the updates from Zune to have Mango in my own language without AT&T crap. Is it possible?

This is my phone info:

ps. what hardware version is my phone anyway? 3.1 stands for 1.3?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
Chill out, mate, there is hope. Let's take it one at a time.

1. Yes, you can flash Rogers ROM. And you will end up with the same updates as with AT&T ROM. Actually, on Rogers you might even get a newer Radio... So I suggest you do that. As for Polish, I don't know... Focus was targeting North America, thus the CSC doesn't have that option imho (afaik has the same 5 languages as AT&T). There are people who suggested flashing the CSC from Omnia7 (EU) with the rest of the binaries, but at the moment there is nothing working so I'd suggest waiting. You can however read about flashing other bits in the thread.

2. To read the hardware version, either look under the battery (if it says rev 1.3 you have revision 1.3) or read my last post here. If you have revision 1.4, you might want to wait, but if you're 1.3 you can do point 1.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Sierra76:
Thanks mate for helping, it's good there is still hope, so basicaly I must have wait for that Omnia7 rom. As I understand I cannot flash it to my focus atm, because it wont work yet. Could you point me to some info about it, I wish to track it, to be ready on time :)

I could even live with English version, as I know that language well, thats no problem. The problem is when I type a message it shows me hints in english too, which doesnt help much if I type in Polish language :) Yet If I switch to that "AT&T Polish", then I'm getting missing settings, and these are important settings like camera options.

According to your guide my HW version is indeed 1.3.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
You're mostly welcome! Replied inline in red, I hope it helps further.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Sierra76:
Actually there is, built-in, since I upgraded it with added Polish registry settings, but it's working only if I set up everything to Polish language, but then again I'm getting those missing menu options on some features like camera :) What a bummer :)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] EnderPsp:
In that case, you should talk to the OP in the thread I mentioned, he might be able to help you or at least give you a better hint, on what to do/expect.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Sierra76:
Contacted the guy, but he must be busy as I get no respone :)

Well I am at this point to decide to use my chevron7 unlock token on current build, or wait..... argh.... decisions. Would like to try the ROGERS rom, hopping it will have better radio or at least less branding stuff, and then use my token maybe.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Sierra76:
Ok, flashed my phone to ROGERS rom, finaly ALL branding is gone, I can finally see a small logo of my current Polish carrier: Play, all that AT&T apps are gone too, lovely! Also SMS delivery report toggle is visible without any tweaking.

As you predicted my Radio software revision number is now: 2124.11.8.1, means newer version, this is good no? Same for Firmware revision, its now: 2124.11.8.1.

The only weird stuff that I experienced is that Weather showing app couldnt find my city, so I updated it from Samsung market and all was fine again.

The only problem remains: the camera settings in Polish language are gone again, like someone forgot to translate that section and it's not showing.

Then unlocked my phone with Chevron token stuff, also interop-unlocked it with some easy guide posted on xda forums, not sure it works tho (how to check it?).

[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kms108:
i finally upgraded the i917 to 7720 with additional traditional chinese, simplified chinese, japanese and korea language, took a while, as the Chevron program was the hardest to get connected.

Indeed, I was able do downgrade to 7004 Rogers without problems. But Chevron... All tricks I tried, everything was was feasible and nada... I read through encyclopedia on XDA... I have no more ideas what to do... Only thing I want to make is changing code in registry to Polish and then go!
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kms108:
the certificate has expired, you need to adjust the clock back in both phone and PC to use chevron, i adjusted it 1 month back, and worked ok, twice, i've added an extra 4 language (traditional chinese, simplified chinese, korean and japanese), remember not to delete the default 5 languages, or else mango 7720 or 7740 will not install, all other version before them will install.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Jasper_jt:
Yepp, I did so. I didn't work neither. Maybe I had too much fuss on my machine. I will try on clean laptop. Anyhow Chevron didn't even want to start, unless I had been flushing DNS. But then - usual problem - no connectivity to phone.

Well, cooked rom with various languages would be just sweet ;)
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kms108:
thats probably it, i just had my PC cleaned, fresh installed, and yeh, it's always the connectivity problem.

good luck
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Jasper_jt:
Short question - are you running 32 or 64bit Win? I wonder if threre are different effects dependently if it is XP or Win7 32 or 64 bit.

According to date - date change on comp has to be made after logging to Zune. Otherwise logging is not possible due to date/time difference from server.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kms108:
i'm using windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, and zune has always been auto logged in for me, before and after changing date.

with zune, i did have problems before with location, but not date.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Jasper_jt:
Apparently it is. I need to log in to Zune before change of date, otherwise it refuses as there is mismatch with server.

Can you list programs you had installed apart of Zune?

I got:

- Drivers for Samsung

- WinPhone Dev Tools

- Ms.Net Framework 4.0

- Ms Advertising SDK for Windows Phone

- Windows Phone Suppport Tool

- registry entry for Chevron

Is that all or do I miss something? Or too much?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] kms108:
programs, you mean all on my pc or just the program for the windows phone, for windows phone i just install the VB WEB 2 kit exe and samsung usb driver, chevron cert to phone, chevron unlock, wp7 root tool, samsung tool, interop unlock.

thats it.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Jasper_jt:
Installed on comp. I analyze, if I have all elements for proper connection with Chevron. I prepare laptop for trial on other machine.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Jasper_jt:
Ok, finally all settings are done. I found reason of problem - Zune Network Sharing had been off, and hosts file had to have changes for read/write for admin and user, as I got two accounts.

But - I observe as phone restarts pretty often - after making photos, installing apps etc. Do you see similar behaviour?

I got my Incredible S (IS) successfully S-OFF using the beta of AlphaRev X.

I made the donation because the work the AlphaRev X have done is great

I used the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1122694 to install the clockworkmod and recovery, and it was completely successful. What I did is I obtain the right Clockworkmod Recovery for my IS I have now the ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.0.1 on my Incredible S.

New the two problem I am facing is:

1-	When I flash a language package (so that I will be able to read Arabic using the same original ROM which comes with the device) , the installing gets aborted and unsuccessful. Although, I used the same language packaged which I used it for my old Desire HD and now both are Froyo .

Well, I don’t know what that all mean and I don’t know how I would fix this. It seems so complicated

Please would any Developer out there help!

I don't know what happened, but I've noticed that I don't have a consistent 3g connection. I have wifi with no problems, but when I disconnect it takes forever to reconnect to 3g. I have nothing showing in the notification area.

It appears to comeback when I use an app that needs data, but it takes a while. When it goes to sleep, or after a while it disappears again. It's really frustrating, it's like if my data is set to "on demand", only that it takes way to long to comeback.

I would really appreciate it, if someone could tell me what to do. I don't mind having to go back to stock, or flashing another radio.

Thank you.
