I'll be honest with you I followed the guide on WPcentral. My internet connection is a usb dongle I would just pull it out with in the first to seconds in update and bingo update. It worked the first time no problems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bmazloum:
I turned "data on" on my phone, restarted it, closed zune, and then did the update "trick" for it to work. Otherwise, wasn't working.

I'm all the way in Saudi Arabia, so I disabled Wifi on my desktop after 3 seconds or so.

After it applied the first update, it just hung on "searching for additional updates"

I pressed Cancel (in Zune), restarted phone, and then when I reconnected it found Mango by itself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] D-mac24:
i had the same problem download Microsoft Fix it then try it

can't post a link
[Windows Phone 7 General] Titus_Andronicus:
Ok, so what you are saying is that even though I installed the leaked 7.10.7720.68 "RTM" on my LG Quantum Optimus, it may not be the same as the official 7.10.7720.68. Maybe there are some drivers missing or something.

Well that would make sense. My compass does not work. Maybe I am missing the driver. Infact even the LG ScanSearch app will no longer work with the compass (it did with the original ROM, and I think NoDo).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Extreme boy:
Followed the Trick and it worked on my HTC HD7 unbranded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
If you can't post a link can you tell where to find it please?
[Windows Phone 7 General] albertleao:
Microsoft Fix It solves the issue?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
Restarted my PC and the tricked finally worked first try :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] albertleao:
Tried restarting, running microsoft fix it now. I guess I'm just $hit outta luck :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] D-mac24:
it did for me. Installing now. Still had to used the force trick
[Windows Phone 7 General] nasutus:
After 3 or 4 times ....worked for me.. :-) Installing right now. Can¨t wait.
[Windows Phone 7 General] albertleao:
Are you guys doing it with your wifi on or off?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mmian:
Does this trick work to get the Samsung update for those of us on the 7720RTM leak? It doesn't seem to be working for me. Either it doesnt work, or my timing is off
[Windows Phone 7 General] kayuka:
Here is my story.

I got a Samsung focus 1.3 ATT

Started from 7390. I didnt get 7392 in months I was trying the normal way.

After installed 7403, it automatically jumped to 7720. No reconnecting needed.

I used a guest Zune, seems save me some time backup things.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tecorp:
Used the forced update method and it worked perfectly.

Many thanks for the tip. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] norgan:
7.1 IS 7.5

7.1 is the internal OS version where 7.5 is the public version number. both are Mango
[Windows Phone 7 General] D-mac24:
I had Wifi on when i did it
[Windows Phone 7 General] Keefo:
i take it i can only "force" it if the update has been released by my carrier?

So with my HTC Mozart on Orange UK has no chance as of yet? lol

Also I'm running the leaked Mango RTM, but i heard that it still updates from this?

:EDIT:

also, what's the easiest way to see if i have gone from the Leak to the official release?

Is there anything I should be able to check to see that its updates?

cheers

Keith
[Windows Phone 7 General] a3ads:
hi, can any please notify me if i do this update will i be risking updates from not coming up the normal way? also is this the final mango build with tht gps update? thank you for your help!
[Windows Phone 7 General] c_h0use:
I got the update started using the force trick, but I can't get passed step 6. It says, "A driver for your phone needed to update but wasn't installed in time." Is there a fix for this or do I have to wait to get the update officially?
[Windows Phone 7 General] cherrybombaz:
It doesn't work for me either. I've tried at like 20 times and I've tried restarting my pc, but still no go.
[Windows Phone 7 General] speedfreak228:
me too. wish it would work on my hd7s:mad:
[Windows Phone 7 General] cherrybombaz:
Ok I finally got it working. I ended up installing a beta build of Mango using these instructions.

Make sure you have the Zune 4.7 software though.

Then, it updated me to 7403. I rebooted and now, its installing mango XD.
[Windows Phone 7 General] NickWKent:
Persistence is definitely the key here. Like many on here, I tried dozens of times (at least 75) and about an hour's time before I got it to work.

My info

HTC HD7 - T-Mobile USA

Windows XP with Zune 4.8

Went from NoDO to Mango (2 updates)

I can't remember which things I had on (I tried so many different combinations, and from reading people having success with pretty much any of them, I think it's more of the timing you pull the connection over anything)

I had almost given up, but it FINALLY went through. So if you're getting frustrated, just give trying. It'll eventually work

Now that I've got everything going, I really love Mango. The speed difference is astounding!
[Windows Phone 7 General] cherrybombaz:
Or you could just install one of the betas and it'll automatically update you Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 General] astang99:
It worked for me at first, downloaded 7392 but now it won't get the rest of the updates? I want mango!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] deadwrong03:
im on the final mango update on part 7

are there any cons of doing this? im on a verizon htc trophy is there anything different from this than the one that verizon will officially come out?

i had the first mango update today and that was it i was pissed i didnt get the rest so i went ahead and forced it

whats the difference between this one and the carrier update? when the carrier update is available will i get a update for that too or i dont have to get any more updates?
[Windows Phone 7 General] spokanedj:
Forced Mango Update

I updated two Mango Beta Phones (HTC Surround and Samsung Focus, they updated automatically without any tricks. I also updated a Samsung Focus and LG C900 using this trick (both were on 7390). The Samsung Focus appeared to hang on Samsung boot screen, but eventually pulled through after about 10-15 minutes of waiting. None of the other phones had any scary moments like this.

Some notes:

* If yoru carrier/phone model isn't ready, this trick will *not* work, no matter how many times you try. Check the status of your phone/carrier here: http://mango.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/features/update-schedules.aspx All this trick does is somehow bypass the future scheduled updated for your phone and let it go now.

* Make sure the USB cable is plugged directly into the computer. While I didn't have any problems this go round with it, I normally have my cable plugged into a bug and the restart and driver install can fail if there is a USB hub between phone and computer.

* All three of my developer unlocked phones where re-locked when going from Mango 7712 to 7720 RTM. Just need to use the dev unlock tool to re-unlock it. There was a "ISV dev beta cleanup" update that said something about putting your phone back on track for future updates which installed before the drivers.

* For Mango beta phones there is a last update that installs specific drivers for the phone that updates the firmware and such. I didn't see that step on the non beta phones, which presumably where just bundled in the 7720 update.

* I had the wifi on the phone itself enabled for both that I used this trick on. Its just the internet on the computer that you have to unplug. I pulled the ethernet about 1 second after the update and it worked for both.
[Windows Phone 7 General] andrewkeith5:
What a brilliant little trick, thanks for pointing this out!

Took me three attempts as it appears my internet connection needed less than a second before I had to cut it, but I'm currently on step 7 of the second update with fingers crossed so hopefully all will be well :)

Finally production mango....I'm done with all the hacking :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ANtiHazarD:
the same for me.. Omnia7 from Germany's t-mo store.

I spend 1 hour((

this guide working for all devices or not?
[Windows Phone 7 General] enyaj:
How do I know again if it Mango(Official)? I went back to a NoDo backup that I had since the Mango RTM that I upgraded to suddenly got re-locked. When restoring to NoDo was done, I did the force update and it did say it was an upgrade for WP 7.5. The thing is, I changed my Tiles when I was on NoDo before, but after the Mango Update, the Tiles are still the same as the Nodo on(glass tiles) and everything on the home page is back as the same with the NoDo. Is that normal? With RTM the tiles changed back to stock. Heres what it says on the about:

Software: Windows Phone 7.5

OS Version: 7.10.7720.68

Firmware Rev #: 2250.21.40502.707

Radio Software: 5.69.09.29a_22.50.50.21U
[Windows Phone 7 General] F157:
I have a German Mozart, unbranded on NoDo, and for me it also doesn't work.

The weird thing is: Even if I disconnect the internet from my computer BEFORE even starting zune, and doing the whole process without internet connection, it still says "your phone is up to date". The only time I get "internet connection not available" errors is, when I disable wifi and data connection ON THE PHONE.

Can anyone who's also not able to force the mango update repro my behaviour?

Any idea, what we then should connect/disconnect on the PC and on the phone to make it work?
[Windows Phone 7 General] zerobalance:
I did the trick but getting stuck at the beggining of the update because of bits.

disabled it but samething happens. im gonna check it out make few combinations.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 2dorr:
I have a Vodafone Romania LG Optimus 7, and whatever trick I tried, it's not working. I guess being locked and branded, the update it's not available.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 1unu1:
I have an jailbroken(chevron) Samsung Omnia 7 with OS version 7392(i kept it jailbroken).Will the phone lose the jailbreak ?The phone is unbranded.

Many thanks!

Will chevron keep unlock?
[Windows Phone 7 General] behh:
got unlocked unbranded optimus 7 7720 rtm, and everytime i press update, it says the phone is up to date
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
You followed the instructions, right? So you disconnected your PC from the internet right after clicking "update"?
[Windows Phone 7 General] behh:
ye, i did it few times, with turned on and turned off wifi (on phone). With reseting phone and zune software... ; /

Are there any changes that should motivate me to keep trying ? : )
[Windows Phone 7 General] ricky709:
There is a solution...withwindows com/fix-error-801812c1-windows-phone-7-5-mango-update/
[Windows Phone 7 General] embmw:
keep unlock?

if I force the update, the phone will stay unlocked? or I must follow the steps from that thread to keep it unlocked?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ctjags:
okay simple sdolution

First off forget the going to phone settings matters none. Second use a laptop. It is easier to hit a button and shut off wifi. Third easiest way to do it connect your phone to laptop. Make sure ya have the latest update for zune 4.7 installed. Now click on settings. Then click on phone. Then as you click on update shut your wifi off. And as long as you do it the same time. The update will appear. Others said it takes 30 seconds but for mine was instantly. I tried the other way phone settings update forever it did not work. So once again worry about zune on pc not your phone settings. Hope that helps. Take care Ray
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Overman:
Bricked Focus

I forced the update on my Focus and it seemed to have worked fine. Updated all the way to 7720 but got stuck on step 8 (final reboot). The device got stuck on the "Samsung" screen.

Looks bricked...

I tried to cold start it (formatting) but no use. Still stuck on the Samsung starting screen...

Does anyone here know how to get out of this? Is the phone bricked once for all?

:(
[Windows Phone 7 General] marlyred:
I had this happen to me. I just hit the home button and then it booted up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Overman:
When did you hit the home button? When powering up? After powering up? During the update? After formatting?

I believe I tried all combinations of buttons, soft and hard ones, and couldn't get it to boot back...

I got it on the formatting screen (which I did, several times), download screen (which doesn't seem to do anything), connect screen (which would be useful to revert to the backup, but for some reason it doesn't connect to the USB in the PC on this state...)

Argh... :(

how to install mango update early

Just follow the procedure mentioned at koolmobile.net and you will know exactly what all is required
[Windows Phone 7 General] Ibroe:
I really dont see any significant difference from the 7720 RTM except for attentive phone that has moved to settings, my HTC HUB stills work like before. so really whats the hype, my compass is good. I checked my programs, i read sometime ago that a feature called help & tips is added to mango, but i dont have that???????
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
ATT Focus Rev 1.3

I used this method and it worked like a charm. I went from 7390 to Mango and the Samsung update and confirmed that my versions are the latest and the same as the "offical" notification update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arniman:
Succsefull update on LG Optimus 7 , disconecting internet after 4-5 sec. that was the key
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spydawg:
I can't get update after (7392) Always says "Your phone is up to date"

The phone is a LG Quantum on Bell (Canada)

I've rest the phone back to pre NoDo and still no luck.

Anyone get Mango to install with this trick on a LG Quantum?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
That's because the update isn't officially released yet. People have had to do tricks to get an update they should not need. WP7 should already be all that Mango makes it.

Be careful about the trick. Some are reporting bricked phones and other issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spydawg:
Well I finally got it installed using this trick.. It's now running Mango Update.

Just took me 2 days of trying. :eek:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tone_:
Cheers - I had to wait 10 seconds but it worked after a couple of attempts..
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
Different behavior

I've done this "force update" trick in the past to upgrade my phone to NoDo. Back then, I had zero problem with it for a number of phones.

However, on Mango, I'm having little success and different behavior. I have two different PCs, and on one of them, I was able to upgrade to 7720 after about 30 tries. I've still been unable to get it to Mango after that, despite repeated and frequent tries. It varies between complaining about no internet connection, and the software is up to date.

Here at the office, I decided to try it on my laptop. I have yet to be able to get any result other than "the software is up to date" regardless of when I disconnect my net connection. Both Zune installs are 4.8.

I'm really surprised at this behavior. I'm wondering if Zune 4.8 has some smarts put in to prevent this, if the people who have had straightforward luck with this are still using 4.7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
7720 is Mango. There are no more updates needed after that.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
I'm not sure I've ever felt stupider. I actually did try to open multitasking, but I guess I must have hit the button wrong, and then didn't try it any further. I've been using the earlier releases of Mango, and I guess I got so used to it that I forgot conversation threading wasn't in at the beginning!!!

Duh.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
You hold the back button for about a second or two. At east that's how it is on my HD2 with 7592 Mango.

That's what I have and I got like 3 updates the same day that Mango was released including something about drivers, but clearly my numbers are lower than yours.

I had the Mango beta version and I'm not sure if I really got the final version or what.
[Windows Phone 7 General] thedread:
Thanks DKP1977 - It worked for me (HD7 from O2 UK with NODO update). Just completed the Mango update an hour ago.

I had to turn off wifi & data connections on the Phone (as specified in an earlier NODO update post). I also had to allow the Zune/Setting/Update to indicate that my phone was up-to-date, then click on another option in settings then go back to update. It worked several times using this method.

I had to do it several times because I initially got Error Code 801812c1 during step 6 of the 1st update. Google showed how to update to the correct "Schubert" drivers.

All went smoothly after that!! :-)
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
As an aside, I used to have fairly poor luck getting the buttons to register long presses (multitasking, voice interface). I finally got the Samsung firmware update that I'd missed at NoDo and now I have no problems with the buttons!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
A heads up about forcing the Mango update on AT&T US phones. I got the word from AT&T that there are people reporting issues with their Focus' after forcing the update. AT&T said the reason is because the update they get by forcing it is not the specific update for their phone. They said there is another round of updates for those of us who haven't gotten the latest update coming the 16th or 17th of this month (Oct). Those who have forced the update are recommended to restore to the previous update.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roni2915:
Hello everyone,

I recently got an upgrade though Bell Mobility (in Canada) for a Samsung Galaxy S2. Its simply awesome, but I'm a newbie to the Android OS. I moved from an iPhone 4 and hence I have very less knowledge as to what is happening with the android OS rooting, updating etc.

So on to the main topic, I got my phone (model GT-I9100M) on 2.3.3 and the base band is I9100MUGKG2.

My battery is dying very quickly, i barely get 5-6 hours. Yes I'm new to the phone so i'm tweaking around a lot, but still - I think the problems are major. And I've read on some forums that its a bug in 2.3.3 and hence I wanted to know if I could update to 2.3.4?

And as far as rooting is concerned, I think I did a pretty good job. The instructions for rooting weren't that complicated at all. But now the online thing I'm wondering is how could I update to 2.3.4. On Samsung Kies it doesn't say there is any update for my device, and I understand its not officially out through my carrier but that is one of the reasons I rooted my phone. I did try reading all through the site, But i only am getting confused more and more everytime I read it. Its like I read that I cannot upgrade to 2.3.4 or else i'll lose my data connectivity, others I read its only for GT-I9100 and not GT-I9100M, etc etc.

So could anyone guide me though how I could update my firmware to 2.3.4 and still use the phone with my carrier? And also, I tried using various unlock apps on the android market after rooting the device, but it didn't see to work.

I will be constantly travelling and hence I need this phone to be unlocked, permanently if possible.

Could someone walk me through step by step as to how i could update my firmware to 2.3.4 and unlock the device :) Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Have a nice day folks. :)

I am quite new to the SGS II too (used to have a Nexus S), but I´ll try to help...

From Google:

The CSC includes connection data for the broadband networks as well as apps that are only available in certain languages/intended for a specific area.

So, for your operator, you need this:

Canada Bell/Virgin BMCKG2 CSC: http://www.multiupload.com/RIE7ZLHIHG

From this thread; also, I didn´t find the 2.3.4 for Bell Canada there, but you can take a look.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roni2915:
Thanks for the reply, but I did come across these threads and they got me confused even more. In simple words, how could I update my phone to 2.3.4 and unlock the phone :)

thanks again for the quick response though! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
At the moment there is no official 2.3.4 for Bell. If you want to update you will have to use Odin and flash one of the 2.3.4 firmware's found here.To unlock the phone you will need to root it first. To do this you will have to flash a cf-root kernel that matches the firmware you flashed. You can find that here. For example, if you flashed the XXKH3 firmware you need the XXKH3 cf root kernel. Once you have done this, download this app and run it to unlock the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roni2915:
Hey, I actually read around and Im successfully on the XXKI3 firmware, and im also rooted because i see the superuser app. And about unlocking, i did run that app before but it didnt work out for me... i ran another app as well, cant remember the name. But whatever the case, could i run it again? what if it doesnt run. Now the only thing left for me to do is unlock the device as im on 2.3.5 :)

thanks for the reply though, have a wonderful day!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sydknee:
what do uou mean by unlock the device?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roni2915:
to use with a different carrier, although im in a contract with bell, im planning to go india soon and i want to unlock the phone so that i could just pop in a different carrier sim card and im good to go :)

im on 2.3.5 XXKI3 right now, so just want to know how could i unlock.. the apps like Galaxy S Unlock and [root] unlock doesnt seem to work for me... unless im doing something wrong :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
There are different unlock apps in the market but if you have the bell sgs2 use the one by helroz. I might freeze and reboot in the middle of the unlock process but it should still work. Have you tried using a different sim card to check if it's unlocked?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roni2915:
Hey, this time i tries the app again and rebooted it and tried my dads rogers sim card! worked! Thanks all

so now im on 2.3.5 KI3 and unlocked!

So jist out of curiosity, this isnt a permanent lock right? Wht if say samsung releases 2.3.6 and i update today, would i lose my unlock? If yes is there a way to make the unlock permanent?

Thanks guys, for all ur help until now! :)
