[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brian-UK:
Hi it would seem that http://www.samfirmware.com/ have a lot of updates that don't seem to be on kies I have updated my I9000 to 2.3.5 using Odin from there.

Everything you need to do it is on that site there are many threads on this forum for updating you phone. Before you do back up your IMEI data because if something goes wrong (not that it should) this data is unrecoverable.

See this link for how to do it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859914

When you go onto samfirmware there are guides on how to use Odin and what firmwares to use. Not that the name of the firmware version holds info about country codes and languages so my firmware I9000XXJVS is decoded in the following way -

I9000 - model

XX - Country code

JV - Language code

S - Changes with version

When you are changing the firmware check that the language code and country code are the same as what you have already this will ensure you have the right firmware. Only the last letter changes usually.

Hey thanks for your reply!

See im a complete novice when it comes to update Android phones on my own...doesnt it mean if i do it with Odin its going to be a custom update and i loose my warranty as it would be an official samsung update anymore ? and the frimware versions its all just numbers and letters to me i coudnt tell the difference between them if i look at them :/ so if you could please link me the exact things that i need if its legal to update that way , if im not asking for too much cause i feel like i am :/ i've been searching both this forum and sam's for a few days and i cant make out anything of it, like i saidi m a novice dont know much :/
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Requiem90:
Ok i downloaded this :

samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8512833-android-2-3-5-for-galaxy-s-

now i have completely no idea what to do with >.< please help!

flash samfirmware 2.3.5 XXJVS, newest and fastest
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brian-UK:
Ok firstly Odin is a manual tools for updating firmware. And the roms on that site are stock roms (unmodified). The reason Samsung and other manufacturers don't like people flashing roms is that a) you can brick your phone and b) with a custom rom they will not warrantee the rom because they didn't make it. If you flash a stock rom onto your phone you should be fine. (Bricked phones are recoverable usually).

As I said before BACK UP YOUR IMEI DATA as shown by the link in my original post reply as if this data is corrupted even if you get a good rom on your phone if you have lost your imei your phone will not work. (This is more of an issue with custom roms and not usually an issue with stock roms but do it anyway).

**UPDATE** This actually requires that you have Odin up and working which you might not yet so don't worry just yet about this.

Don't use xxjvs yet it may be the wrong language we will check before proceeding.

Ok firstly you need to check the language version of the rom already in your phone the easiest way is to go into settings and then about and check the kernel version it will be something like 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVS-CL535839

The important bit for now is the bit in bold in the above example I9000 is the model xx is the country code jv is the langauge code and s is the version.

XX = Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom

JV = en,fr,pt,tr(ar,de,es,fa,it,nl)

If you are from Solvenia you country code would normally be XD and im not sure what your language code is.

Any firmware you install should have the same country and language codes

.

Checking the site there aren't any versions with the XD country code so before continuing can you confirm what version your phone already has?

XD = Croatia, Czech, Hungary, Slovakia

?? = language (use whatever your old rom is)

You can flash different country codes but be aware that this may change the available languages on your phones and/or settings/carrier information. (checking the site they just have the xxjvs firmware listed under "Europe" so it might be fine. It's up to you. That being said when I turn my phone back on after flashing a rom it prompts me with a list of countries so...

You need to install your phone drivers

Then download Odin http://hotfile.com/dl/107607762/640950b/I9003_Odin3_v1.82.rar.html and then un-rar it.

You then need to download the firmware you want to flash the current XXJV firmware is http://hotfile.com/dl/129538506/0a079c6/I9000XXJVS.rar.html.

This will contain 4 files the modem, csc, kernel and pit files everything you need to make it work.

I'm not going to go through the Odin instructions as they are on the site here http://www.samfirmware.com/SVC Android/I9000 Flashguide.pdf and are pretty easy to follow (just ignore the first few pages until you come to the Odin section).

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wheezle:
Hi everyone.

I've just updated to official Mango on my Omnia 7. I've heard the colour banding issue that's been around since NoDo was supposed to be fixed in this version, but unfortunately I still the issue.

I've tried changing the bpp/PrimBPP/PanelBPP registry entries, which used to fix it back on NoDo, but this seems not to work anymore.

Anyone know how this issue can be resolved on Mango?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L-Dani:
The same goes for me with my LG Optimus 7 (LCD with 32 Bit Color...)

I had smooth gradients in RTM and NoDo. But in the Mango Beta I was also afflicted with the Color Depth issue. :mad:

I hoped that the Official Mango with some LG drivers would fix this but unfortunately it did not...

I tried the BPP settings in the Beta where they didn't work, I did not have the time to try it in the final today.

Any idea why they would do something like that?

Or better, does anyone know a way to fix this issue?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StefanBN:
I'm looking for a fix for 2 weeks.

This thing really pisses me off!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquanaut88:
HTC pushed out a firmware update around 29-October for the HD7. Personally I noticed it fixed the color banding issue and zune player hasn't locked up as it did before. Others have reported they feel it resolved certain battery issues, but I never had battery issues before (16-18 hours per charge). Haven't had to use my spare but 2-3 times since buying the device 9-months ago.

Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StefanBN:
There isn't any update for Omnia 7.. :(

I hope someone finds a fix for it..
[Windows Phone 7 General] armrob:
Again, those of us that support MS are the ones getting screwed.

A lot of us here are already runnung Mango RTM, and one the most important feature we wanted from the official update is the wifi hotspot. well it turns out, IT IS NOT IN THE UPDATE.

Joe Belfiore just tweeted that ONLY NEW WP7 phones will support this feature, so it will not be available until new phones are out, and possibly never on existing phones.

this is what we call a blow below the belt. so all of you who a bought a WP7 during the past year when no one else would, and kept it while many got rid of it because they could wait no longer, MS is thanking us by asking us to buy a brand new phone to have a feature that is available on any cheap android phone.

It's like somebody inside Microsoft is doing everything possible to make sure WP7 fails. i have a focus and a dell venue pro. both are going on the auction block tonight. Iphone and Android users must be laughing their ass off...
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Dude, calm down. Belfiore already tweeted that the wireless tethering feature for older devices will come as an additional update. But it still has to be enabled by your carrier. Same goes for the new devices btw.
[Windows Phone 7 General] silhouetted:
This isn't because of Microsoft. It's the carriers. Point your finger in the right direction before you throw a fit, at least.
[Windows Phone 7 General] VoodooKing:
Adding WIFI support would probably have delayed the Mango update even more as I don't think all carriers would approve of it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Just take a look at this article on WMPoweruser.com and take some deep breaths. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Talys:
Before you freak, many platforms are separating WiFi tethering and either breaking it or making it an extra pay feature.

Android 2.3.6 for instance disables WiFi hotspot for many carriers (3G disabled when WiFi hotpot enabled).

Other carriers are letting their users know that there will be charges for tethering (wired or wireless). The problem is not the technology; it's that Carriers want to make extra money from the feature.
[Windows Phone 7 General] enjoythemusic:
And the Bluetooth still sux too in Mango. Went to my car in hopes... No rSAP even though 6.x had it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] norgan:
pre mango bluetooth works peffectly for me. connected it to the new holden iq system and could dial, speak play and control music all from the car controls.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
Duh!

http://www.winrumors.com/windows-phone-7-5-internet-tethering-feature-only-available-on-new-devices/
[Windows Phone 7 General] Snake.:
I already told in the previous thread, IF the OM phones will not have tethering, that does it for me. No word on this from my MS/HTC contacts, yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
IMHO, the absence of internet sharing is not a big deal at least for me...

However,please solve these problems...

1)please enable the live tiles to update itself by pressing home button,not just back button

2)please allow secondary windows live account to have the live messenger in chat or at least allow windows live to merge account...

3)please allow the mango app go into multitask mode automatically&compatible with the use of home button. I found out that if you opened a mango app(even it has fast app switching or resume),if you doesn't long press back button to let it go into multitask mode,it'll not allow fast app switching.

Take weave as an example, try it by yourself,open the weave app up. Then,press Home button,now open the weave from the app list again,it'll just relaunch again.

Home button is really a multitask killer...

Just solve these problems I would be happy enough
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
That's because you aren't supposed to relaunch it, you're supposed to either push the back button to get to it, or hold down the back button....
[Windows Phone 7 General] armrob:
it clearly says that in order to have the hotspot feature, the OEM have to update the wifi driver for each device, then the carrier needs to include it in another update. so good luck with that.

the OEM want you to buy new phones, and the carriers too because new phones means new contracts.

just take a look at android, it took some phones nearly 2 years to be updated to the latest release because Google left it to the OEM. they have absolutely no motivation for it.

my carrier supports tethering on Iphone and Android phones. so i'm sure it wasn't their decision to have it left out.

Mango has been announced for a year and there are only a handful of WP7 phones on the market. how hard would it have been to ask the OEM to update the wifi driver in time for the mango release ?

I'm gonna keep one wp7 phone just to play with it but it will never be my primary phone. too bad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
This actually kind of came out early in September

Relax, it'll come.
[Windows Phone 7 General] elektryk:
I totally agree with this, once again marketing crap. Phone manufacturer had plenty of time to give any support for this feature. Carriers can request to block some features, but if someone buys phone on open market, all features should be enabled.

Another thing that makes this update big fail, is that not everybody could get update. Microsoft advertise "new shiny mango", but phones does not see update possibility. Once again microsoft divides customers to better and worser.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
Keeping carriers happy = another fail for customers.

"Coming soon in next update" = failing customers again

This should have been implemented (prenodo) originally and left alone. Putting more energy into what are considered standard feature sets instead of innovating and "wowing" folks, I just don't understand this.

I wouldn't. Say the iphone and android guys are LOLing about it, more like just facepalming and then shaking their heads.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Actually, not all phones will be able to make hotspot. Why?

There were two similar wifi chipsets used (don't beg me for looking up the numbers of the chipset). One IS capable of "AP" mode, one isn't. It is not software issue, it is hardware issue. I will check devices' drivers and hopefuly try making a list of devices that are able to make hotspot.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vash_h:
Aah, that makes sense now. No wonder I do not see the internet sharing.

Microsoft, shame on you..
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
Wait, why shame on Microsoft?
[Windows Phone 7 General] elektryk:
Bla, bla, bla. Marketing bull****. Every wifi chip is capable of operation in AdHoc mode. It is part of WiFi specification, if chip cannot, it cant use WiFi name, because is not compatible.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnitte:
(Read: Not ringtones or alarm sounds)

I was wondering if there is a way in mango to make custom alert sounds like there is with custom ringtones; the only threads I managed to find deal with alarm and ringtone sounds; not alert sounds.

Hope everyone is enjoying mango!

[General Questions and Answers] kalinccubus:
Hello, I'm new here.

I recently changed my HTC HD2's OS to Windows Phone 7, I tried using the Marketplace and received the "we need an activation code error".

I contacted Microsoft received my 25 digit key and proceeded to try this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10566003

Sadly my phone doesn't download the Chevron Certificate as it should. I do know that it was discontinued but I decided to give it a try still. After much fighting and even downloading an official certificate installer, I gave up.

Now I searched through the forums and I see that the version I installed ( 7592 or Mango ) doesn't need to be unlocked in order to use the Marketplace. From there I deduct I won't need an activation code then... Why is it still asking me for it?

My question is, can I enter the code I received from Microsoft without worrying it'll be rejected because the phone isn't unlocked? Do I still need to install the Chevron Certificate? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] RAIKOE:
Hi,

I use a HTC HD2 as well but I have no idea regarding your actual WP7 problem.

Why did you change to WP7?

I changed from WM6.5 to Android and since then I am very satisfied using the HD2 with Android OS.

Did you already try to use Android on your HD2?

If not, try it out...... ;-)

[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Check out the manual posted on WPCentral. I did it myself, and can confirm that it works.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yay for another duplicate thread...

BTW, I did it and my phone has been frozen for almost 30 minutes. Use at you own risk.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Just as always, sure. Worked great for me though.

And duplicate? Sorry, but I checked if there's another thread about this very topic and I didn't see any. My bad I didn't check every single thread about Mango if it contains a post about how to get the update without waiting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bassrebel:
Thanks! finally got my update that way :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Come on, gang, you all can't be that impatient :confused:

The best thing to do is wait patiently and allow the system to do what it needs to do. If anyone doesn't get the update today or tomorrow, MS has said it can take up to 2 months for everyone to get it.

Be patient and don't screw up your phones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Labeled:
If tricking zune allows you to update, then statistically there is no reason one person should get the mangos before anyone else. obviously there isn't a server issue if we can download it this way just fine... I'm sorry I've been waiting far too long. I didn't even do it for the post nodo update that 1.3 never got for what ever reason
[Windows Phone 7 General] jason370:
i tried forcing it, it still says im up to date with version 7.10 (7720). does having hspl matter at all here?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Labeled:
Because that is mango.

If it is the RTM, forcing may not work to notice that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jason370:
7.1 isnt 7.5

do i need to downgrade in order to get the update?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
T-Mobile HD7, performing forced update now. 7403 went through perfectly & still Dev. Unlocked. Now doing Mango...

NOTE: Took a couple tries to get the notification.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
It's 7.10, not 7.1, and that is the actual version number. 7.5 is the marketing name for the release.
[Windows Phone 7 General] albertleao:
I've tried over 50 times and all I get is this error : Can't check for updates right now. Please try again later. 80072EFF
[Windows Phone 7 General] jason370:
are you saying that if i have 7.10 then i am up to date?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Labeled:
Guy, its 7.10.

not 7.1.

7.10.7720.68 is mango....

its code name is 7.5, its not literally...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Same here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
If you mean 7.10.7720.68, then yes, that is what I am saying.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Labeled:
Did you install the RTM? if so then you might not have the phone specific optimized or whatever release, but you do indeed have mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jason370:
so anyone that already flashed the touchit mango rom has no need to bother with this official update, correct?
[Windows Phone 7 General] albertleao:
How long are you guys waiting before you pull the plug? When Im doing it, I'm pulling it immediately. If I don't zune tells me my phone is up to date within 3 seconds
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
I have no idea, but I doubt that. I was referring to the official update, which contains build 7.10.7720.68. If you are using a custom ROM, it may or may not contain all of the final Mango features.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You must time it right. If you do it too fast, you'll get the internet error. If you take too long, it'll say "Up To Date." Wait about 2 secs after clicking on update to disconnect internet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] morpheus1982:
Genius. Installing .7403 as we speak! Next it will do the actual Mango update.

Worked straight-away.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jason370:
ok well then back to my initial query....if i have 7.10 7720 touchit rom, and zune is telling me i am up to date, but i am in fact not completely so...would i need to downgrade in order to get the official update?
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
If you are running a custom Mango 7720 ROM or used the leaked employee update to 7720, you'll "most like" have to revert to NoDo. Those 7720 leaks/ROMs are missing the OEM/Carrier additions "most likely."
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I had the leaked HTC HD7 Mango ROM for the last couple of weeks. Even though it was assumed that this ROM had all the official drivers that the official ROM would come shipped with, I wanted to be sure and wanted to install the official update. So here's what I did:

I downloaded an official European ROM that didn't even have NoDo and flashed it. After plugging it into my PC Zune immediately popped up telling me to install the NoDo update. Afterwards I forced preMango and Mango on it. Now I'm 100% official. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] jason370:
can you please link me to that roms thread?

all i have to do is flash that rom, even though i currently have 7.10 7720 touchit rom? then update nodo, then force it. is that correct?

thanks man!
[Windows Phone 7 General] albertleao:
Anyone else simply just -not able- to force the update? I've tried over 100 times with different timings and no luck.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jason370:
which version are you currently running?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Correct. Check here for the ROM you need for your device and carrier.
[Windows Phone 7 General] paschott:
One other thing to possibly keep in mind - I have a rev 1.3 Focus. After installing 7403, I had to disconnect the phone before going further. If I didn't do that, the phone got stuck at the "Samsung" screen. I know others were affected during the beta period and I assume if I hit this again, others will be affected now. Grateful to have a ROM I could load to get back to 7004, then update from there through everything, but still have to get all the way up, restore my NoDo, then re-upgrade everything. Painfully slow process and involves a bit of fiddling with the network connections even just to see the NoDo update.

Anyway, hope this helps someone reading this thread. If you need the Focus ROMs, do some searching, there are links around these forums somewhere, either in the general Dev forum or the Focus forum.
[Windows Phone 7 General] albertleao:
Running 7.0.7392. No idea why this i happening, it worked when I did it for NoDo

It worked first time for me, I had the phone on as normal, all settings active except wifi. Went onto zune, clicked update... Your phone is upto date.

Clicked off update and back onto it, immeadiately pulled out the ethernet cable the second I clicked on update. Waited 10 seconds and it had found a new update (4***) then plugged the ethernet cable back into the wall and clicked on update.

Im now currently installing 7.5 after the inital download finished. This update continued automatically after the previous one.

Hope this is helpful.
