I update my DVP with Cabsender and official cabs to this update. Everything is ok, but this update don't good for my DVP.

I don't see any improvements, everything is work good without it. Only visible change is switching between 3G and Edge.

I use it 2 days and has 2 bugs with phone part. One time programs don't see mobile Internet, while "E" is showing and when i need to reboot.

Another time I can't recieve and dial calls and sms, but cellular signal strength showing full. Also need to reboot. Looks like a new RIL driver incompatible with old Dell radio firmware.

Of course I did backup of my last 7740 fw, and returned to it. :)

P.S.: Before this update I use my DVP more then one month wirh 7740 and don't see any problems with phone/RIL part and i think this is not mobile operator or SIM issues

7.10.8107 Update for DVP?

Has anyone got the 7.10.8107 Update for DVP without any hacks? Or is there any force update method like previous methods without the cabsender etc?

Still not even received the 7740. I know that operators can skip only 1 update as per MS and hence if they skipped 7740 which they did, they need to compulsorily provide the 8107 update. I have read there are a lot of fixes and hope they provide updates at the earliest.
[Venue Pro General] zorroz:
dell venue pro no brand, updated here in Italy from Zune... no tethering...

bye
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
Just wanted to let everyone know that the disable network while checking for updates hack in Zune just worked for me with the 8107 update. Unlocked DVP in Canada if that matters.

Updating right now.. will confirm if tethering is included but really now, not holding my breath.

EDIT: update nothing worth mentioning =( no tethering... only thing I can notice is the drop down selector for 3G and E.
[Venue Pro General] SPYDar007:
Well, I guess AT&T users won't be getting this anytime soon. Not that it matters I guess, as long as the phone works.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
tried the force update using disable network and does not work at my end. Still at 7720. Your phone is up to date.

Tried multiple times and after around 30 seconds get error 80072EFF any suggestions? I also tried Windows Phone Support Tool and says your phone cannot be restored.
[Venue Pro General] KimWinter:
Uhh, just a quick question - so all of you have unlocked DVPs and was able to successfully update your firmware using the Zune software?

I'm just asking because I also have an unlocked DVP and still no update - then again I'm on Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac...:confused:
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
Still no update on my DVP. Still at 7720. Force update method not working as stated in my earliest post
[Venue Pro General] nutnithin:
just got the update notification on my phone...and when i checked on zune its showing there's no update...and now no update notification on my phone...:(..

unlocked dvp, india....
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
yes across forums I m reading that most of the phones have started receiving the updates as of yesterday without force update method. For me DVP is still at 7720. Hope they update soon
[Venue Pro General] KimWinter:
Update is out for DVP, just got it now...can't see anything new...but that'll change tomorrow once I start fiddling with the phone...hehehe
[Venue Pro General] weatherx:
Is there any change other than os ver? Firmware ver? Radio, bootloader, etc?
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
OS version: 7.10.8107.79

Firmware revision number: 2250.1800.7720.219

Hardware revision number: 112.576.2.0

Radio software version: 2.2.50.18

Radio hardware version: 8250

Bootloader version: 7.27.10

Looks like fw is the same...

Also, FYI the update, I was on 7740 before the 8107 update yesterday.
[Venue Pro General] KimWinter:
Well, aside from the keyboard bug fixed, WiFi no longer disconnects whenever I lock my phone (yaaay!!). And battery life seems to have improved...

Hooray for 8107!!
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
good to know many members are getting the new 8107 update. I am still stuck at 7720. I have not even got 7740. Hope I get the update soon.
[Venue Pro General] sublimee:
Everyone should have at least got the 7740 update by now, if not do the manual force update.

Just got the update notification to 8107 on my phone 2 days ago, but haven't had time to plug it into my home laptop to update. Going by anecdotal reports, 8107 should provide better battery life, keyboard disappearances and increase in day to day functionality.

By far, still the best Windows Phone 7, even counting in gen2 hardware.
[Venue Pro General] peeps:
Compass status??? Did Dell surprise us or stick with the status quo?
[Venue Pro General] nutnithin:
nope...no difference in the compass....:(..just did the update...
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
no luck

Well force update is not working. manual update process I believe gives rise to walsh state. My DVP has all languages 34 languages to be precise under keyboards (25 main languages) I have heard manual update has limited languages so in future for updates need to again have manual update.

I tried Windows Phone Support Tool and it throws this error

Zune throws this error : C101002E

Further, using force update method Zune throws this error after around 30 seconds to 1 minute : 80072EFF - Cant check for updates.

Any help highly appreciated. I m still stuck at 7.10.7720.68

Firmware version is : 2250.1800.7720.219
[Venue Pro General] Some-might-say:
I just updated my phone (no forced update, just a regular notification) I've got a Generic EU 16gb venue pro. I must say I'm impressed with the speed of updates we get after MS announces them!
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Seems you guys getting the update are in Europe? No sign of this hitting US carriers (as usual).
[Venue Pro General] the fight:
Ha, but what were you expecting? Friend of mine unlocked 16GB with Simple Mobile just got it though so patience my good sir...
[Venue Pro General] jelliottz:
T-Mobile was quick with the Mango update. Lets hope that stays true for this update. I'm going to try and force it this weekend. /fingerscrossed
[Venue Pro General] KimWinter:
According to windowsphoneteamblog, only carriers that request the update will receive the update. I have an unlocked DVP and I've already updated my phone, so maybe you can do a carrier unlock or "debrand" your phone to actually get 8107...

Just an idea...
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
any idea how i could "debrand" my DVP. Its unlocked I believe as all sims work on the phone.
[Venue Pro General] jelliottz:
I would also like to know if it's possible to debrand a DVP. Mine is the T-Mobile variant. I remember being able to debrand my HTC HD7 before they had HSPL.

I tried to force the update 3 times, and each time I received Error 80072EE2. When I do the traditional check for updates, it says my phone is up to date. C'mon T-Mobile, push out the update. You get to skip one (7740) so now its time to push the next one out.
[Venue Pro General] raiderfan247365:
debranding is not an option for the DVP
[Venue Pro General] jhoff80:
I just got the update last night with the unlocked AT&T-band Venue Pro.

I was on 7740 and not getting any updates. However, I had to restore to a backup for an issue I've been having. I restored to 7392, then it updated me to 7704, 7720, 7740, and surprisingly then brought me to 8107 (despite not having any update half an hour earlier).

Of course, the issue I've been having with Twitter and LinkedIn wasn't fixed by the restore, by a factory reset, or by the 8107 update, but at least I'm up to date now.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
Same here I too get the 80072EE2 error while force updating. Normal updating results in 7.10 7720 up to date.
[Venue Pro General] little_daffodil:
I'm in the UK and have just managed to update my DVP using the Zune hack too.

Good luck.
[Venue Pro General] NeverSummer07:
DVP unlocked/developer phone on T-Mobile US and still waiting to update my 7.10 (7720) version.
[Venue Pro General] nutnithin:
just spotted a new version of the os 7.10.8745 in the WPbench app...says it was added 3 days and 22 hours back...device is an htc 7 pro...
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
Hopefully one day I will get it! I am still stuck with my DVP on 7720 with no updates in sight. I think one day when MS releases say 8.X.X I would get updated to atleast 7740! Force update not working. Regular update says 7720 up to date. Hence any new numbers after 7720 just make me feel "When" will my phone get the update:confused:
[Venue Pro General] prabu:
Just removed my SIM card and then Zune gave the update message and it's updated to 8107. Unlocked Dell Venue Pro Generic US.
[Venue Pro General] jelliottz:
Did you pull your SIM and then connect to computer to check for update through Zune?
[Venue Pro General] prabu:
8107 update

Yes that's right, Power Off the phone remove the SIM and keep it aside and Power On the phone without the SIM and then connect it Zune.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
Tried it multiple times not working.

I have tried the disconnect method and this method combined with disconnect method too and does not seem to be working. still says 7720 up to date. I believe when the update occurs it checks the operator in the registry. hence only those operators where the update has been asked for will be shown the new update or it will state no update found. I think if somehow we can bypass that then we might be able to get the updates.
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Now getting the prompt on my generic US t-mo band version.
[Venue Pro General] Azamatka:
Still nothing on my Generic-US DVP with Russian MTS simcard. I wonder if I'd better stick one of my O2 cards in my DVP and see what's going to happen...
[Venue Pro General] KimWinter:
For those who wasn't able to update their DVPs, I've read this on WP7 Update Central:

Verify that your phone is set to the correct date and time. That'll help us determine which updates you need.

Free up space on your computer. We'll need some room to save a backup of your existing phone software.

Make some room on your phone for the update. If necessary, remove a few unwanted apps or other large items.

From what I've read in the windowsteamblog website, DVP users should have received updates on Nov. 30 for AT&T users and early January 2012 for the rest.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
I tried all the mentioned tricks but nothing as yet :( Phone has close to 7GB free. Date and time including time zone etc are all exactly same on computer as well as DVP. Even computer has over 50 GB free space where zune is installed so not really sure whats amiss but none of the force update methods seem to be working. The regular method still says phone up to date 7720
[Venue Pro General] jelliottz:
Has anyone with a carrier-specific phone been able to force the update or received it naturally? So far it appears that only people with the Generic Version have gotten the update.

Long shot, but is there a way to make a carrier-specific phone appear to be generic?
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
I bought a ATT version of the DVP and unlocked it and checked with Zune for S/W updates and nothing, I must have tried checking almost 20 times between all the battery pulls, internet disconnect trick and the airplane mode trick. Nothing seemed to work and I thought it was something to do with the fact I unlocked it, still not sure but I just used cab sender.bat thats around XDA and went from 7720 to 7740 and then 8107 with the different cabs that were posted. No problems and device seems a little faster now, I'm not sure about battery yet because of the time frame ( I did it last night )

My advice, just use cab sender and send the 8107 update manually instead of waiting or hoping the update will come through with tricks, in the end its the same, just keep in mind if yours is an AT&T banded DVP you might have to go from 7720>7740 then 8107. :cool:
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
Just wanted to report back after a little while with 8107 (via zune), I really don't notice much difference... as opposed to others, I find the battery life about the same. If it's any better, it has got to be minimal.

And guess what... the keyboard disappearing bug is still here :confused: It doesn't annoy DVP users as much I'm sure.. but I hope MS still gets an earful about this one.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
To update my last post I guess now I have an issue where if I press the phone tile it will load and then go back to the main screen :/ even a battery pull didnt fix it. I can still call through the a linked number though.

[Venue Pro General] yeungl:

[Venue Pro General] petard:
I don't understand this keyboard bug! How is it so prevalent? Whenever I use the on screen keyboard, it works fine. I barely use it though.
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
For my issue should I reset it or somehow reload the .cab file?
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
Anyone lucky to have the 8107 on a Locked / Locked (Unlocked) phone?

Mine is still stuck at 7720 and no force update methods work
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Some force methods work. I strongly advise however NOT forcing any updates. This update is meant for European users for the most part. There are NO new features.
[Venue Pro General] nutnithin:
i think its also for generic unlocked phones..like the ones you get in india...i too got the update...got the phone replaced in india....but yup features wise nothing much...never had the keyboard disappearing anyways...
[Venue Pro General] petard:
I have an unlocked AT&T compatible version that got the update about a week ago.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
I think all mobiles that say Generic US have managed to get updates. But if your mobile says TMO US or ATT US then I believe no updates are available. Even force updates dont work in case of operator specific model
[Venue Pro General] aleunge:
Anyone notice that after the update it's a little less stable? It's still pretty good as far as smartphones go but I'm seeing a couple more freezes/battery pulls and it's the first time after going to the home screen, I find that some of the tiles aren't drawn (i.e. I see black space where the tiles should be). It took a few seconds for the tiles (live and static) to show up. This has happened before the update but only for the app list when you just closed/came out of an app and try scrolling down the list fast; the app icons don't get drawn immediately but pop up soon enough. Maybe just too many tiles (20 but mostly just shortcuts)?
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
Is anyone that officially got 8107 willing to take a few minutes and provide more information on their device?

Instructions are here: [REF]Gathered knowledge of VP FFUs

(Though I should rename it as it's more about the driver bundles then ffus)

I'm assuming it's mainly Generic-EU/US users that offically got 7740/8107, I mainly need a US (or a non tmo/non eu) user to post their rom version. (by rom I mean firmware/driver bundle)

Has anyone that got the update sniffed out the update url for the 219 driver bundle?

219-00EU (link not known)

219-00US(?) (not even sure if that's the right name of the region)

219-33

You cant simply guess at it as the SHA-1 hash (i think) is appended onto the end of the filename

[Venue Pro General] magnumctl2:
I use an Unlocked T-Mobile (AWS) Venue Pro, and i'm in canada. I'm still stuck to 7720 and i was never notified that a new update was available. It is because the phone is chevron unlocked ? or cause i'm in canada ?. I remember played with several options on the engeneering mode such as Composite mode or zune etc... does this affect update lookup . Does a hard-reset will solve the problem ?

aleunge seems to have the same configuration as mine (unlocked AWS, Canada etc...) and he was able to update the phone.. is his phone is developer unlocked ? please let me know.... I didn't try the cab forced update yet. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

(excuse me for bad english, i'm from québec state hehehe)
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
Thanks, i'm only missing one for an at&t device now, getting a good picture of how roms work on the VP

219-33 (ie tmo branded roms) as a whole have not recieved above 7720.

219-00EU and

219-00US have though.

I'm not sure about At&t, noone's reported in with that yet.

[Venue Pro General] F0l3ert:
I just received the 8107 update for my unlocked dvp that I bought from dell. I don't even have a sim card inside it and the update was prompted by zune.
[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
The unlocked models / non-branded that Dell sells have already received the updates.

There is another category that Dell sells - Telecom Vendor Specific like T-Mobile / AT&T etc. Then Dell provides an unlock code for users. These are unlocked but not unlocked from start.

The models that are non-branded are already receiving the updates and only the branded models have been left out. Just because Microsoft has allowed telecom companies to decide whether to provide the update or not.

According to terms, vendors can skip only one update. Hence after 7720 they could skip 7740 but not providing 8107 which has many fixes is completely beyond imagination. I think Microsoft needs to step in and force updates else we will be left without updates.
[Venue Pro General] LondoJowo:
I purchased directly from Dell, it has the same bands used by the AT&T models.
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
Ok thanks, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to identify VPs by their rom version.

Could you do one final tiny favor and confirm:

GLEOS1A421900US_S:

is it really 1A4? My VP is 2A4

is the S on the end capitalized or not?

All other dell devices are:

GAUSB1A1xxxyy-zz

GLUNB1Amxxxyy-zz

GTOUB1A1xxxyy-zz

MILLM1A1xxxyy-zz

where zz is either: AWS/EU/US which corrosponds with the bands it supports.

So for what i've seen is:

GLEOS2A4xxxyy_s/S

Which doesnt seem to tell much about the specific model.

Oops... Wrong thread. Question for y'all: the xda threads for cab sender seem to assume interop unlock... For example those instructions say to use a homebrew xap to determine which languages are on the device, etc.

How do you guys get around this with a branded unlocked DVP? Mine is from eBay, but appears to have been a T-Mo specific version unlocked after the fact. I want to send cabs but am concerned about screwing it up.
[Venue Pro General] LondoJowo:
All info is correct 1A4 and capital S on the end.

Ok thanks, yours is the first one that's 1A4 (that I know of), I cant really explain why though.

Those 3 letters/numbers are used to describe the hardware, and this is the first time I've seen this happen. They shouldnt ever change for the lifetime of the device model.

I gotta find more US and/or at&t VP's to confirm with.

[Venue Pro General] xpmymob:
Can we complaint to someone like BBB or Microsoft that TMO is not upgrading to the latest version? I am not sure what is preventing them from providing the updates to 8107 when the better part of the world has it except I belive US telecom operators
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
It's likely tmo, as 219-33 is blocking while 219-00US and 219-00EU already have 8107.

Their version numbers are the same for a reason, dell doesnt recycle numbers for different builds (usually), either dell or tmo (and possibly at&t if 219-31 even exists) are blocking 7740/8107.

tmousa dropped support for the streak7 alot quicker then anyone is comfortable with, mabye it's the same thing repeating for the VP (or at least meddling with the whole affair, unbranded devices universally recieve updates first on any mobile os)
[Venue Pro General] endGameXIII:
i'd reckon they dropped support for the phone long ago, given how the reps now don't even know they have a dell phone in their catalog, and the phone doesn't show up on TMO's web site.
[Venue Pro General] TheManii:
If anyone that still hasnt updated to 7740/8107 that's on an unbranded device (or can downgrade with a backup or something, I dont really understand this part as I havnt gone though an upgrade yet):

Update again with fidder or a similar program to sniff out the urls for the cabs, the 219-33 cab url is known, but the 219-00EU and 219-00US ones are not known.

Unrooted my tab and trying to get it back to the latest official version, but I'm having loads of trouble. Please help. Thanks!

My model number is A500, Android version is 3.0.1, kernel version is 2.6.36.3-00001-g44a8bac and build number is Acer_A500_1.145.01_COM_GEN2

This is the tab that best buy had on sale a few weeks/months on sale. Only 8GB of on board storage.

I have found threads with official updates, but don't know which is safe to install. They are all the same version but have different build numbers so I don't know which build number corresponds with my tab

I think I know the answer to this already, but can I jump from 3.0.1 to 3.2.1?

Anyways please help. I do appreciate it.

Thanks!

EDIT: 99 views and no replys? Do you guys not know the answer or are just being jerky? This is seriously my first post let alone question on the acer threads. I usually get things pretty easily, but I am having trouble on this one so it's not like I'm being lazy or asking a stupid question. Can someone help either by providing some answers or let me they don't know how to fix this??

Thanks

EDIT 2: Close mods
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
Not sure if you're still with us -

interested in knowing why you have not rec'd any OTA before now -unless you've been rooted from the start like i was when i got mine!!!

you also have to be stock, as in factory stock! the update checks a whole lotta stuff before it will install . If the system doesnt stack up the update will fail. So if you have deleted or frozen bloatware apps they will need to be restored, along with modded build props etc. factory data reset and full wipe fixes that problem, but Most people want to keep their data if they can and isn't an option. The update itself should leave everything in place. Mine did.

u need a Gen_2 build. I'm not familiar with your build number or upgrade path for 1.145, but you should receive an OTA for 3.1, 3.2 and the latest 2 for 3.2.1.

if u just wanna install one of the updated custom stock roms with root or cwm, you should be fine with any build and yes you can go straight to 3.2.1 from 3.0.1, but no OTA with these roms
[Acer Iconia A500] timmyDean:
This is a known issue and too many reasons to list. But, basically you are not 100% or it thinks that (checksums different) etc.

So, just flash directly to 3.2.1 GEN2
[Acer Iconia A500] TacoSandwich85:
Mods please close. I was able to fix the issue

I was rooted and had to flash to 3.0.1 or 3.1 before unrooting with the iconia apk. Then I used the acer recovery tool to flash stock recovery. But after flashing stock recovery and unrooting I couldn't get any OTA updates. I re-read some the posts and manually updated to 3.2 after decrypting the zip. After updating I checked for new OTA updates and sure enough found both. Now I'm back to stock 3.2.1. Patiently waiting for ICS :)
