Just pulled out the old HD7 and managed to get it to update as well. Maybe this will give it a bit of an extended life and I can pass it on to a family member.

Cheers for the heads up everyone.
[HD7 General] philiplam:
May I know how exactly can I do this? Sorry for being ignorant...

I am using official 7.10.8107.79, never tried home brewed rom.
[HD7 General] homer.web:
This does not mean, that you are going to use home brewed ROM, but exactly opposite way. If you update it this way, you will get official updates through Zune.

Just do what is mentioned in the update post:

"Connect to computer, place in Airplane Mode, check for updates and quickly disable Internet connection."

I have just pulled the network cable after 2-3 sec. after update check started and waited. After several tries (~2-10) Zune told me, that there is an update available. Than you just reconnect the cable and run the update.

Repeat for each update. Than you have official updates installed. ;)

There could be maybe more updates in your case, because you have only 7.10.8107.79 version, but at the end you should end up with official 7.10.8858.136. :fingers-crossed:

How it works?

I'm using custom 7.8 ROM but it's slow when opening apps.
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
This forced update is because of Microsoft, not HTC....having said that, it seems to be regional but I will try to force my USA phone today...

It seems to me a bit smoother. No problem with performance at all - it is fast as the Mango/Tango version. But it is only my opinion. ;)
[HD7 General] AliiYousuf:
I have a T-Mo US HD7 that is unlocked. It's running the latest OS stock. I tried to force update it many times but only got the error 'Make sure youre connected to the internet'. Can someone please help me out with this? :(
[HD7 General] maya79:
Thanks for the info. ;)

To update from custom 7.8 I need to:

1. update to official 7.8 ROM using Zune

2. re-unlock to be able to use unsupported apps - how?

?
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:

Avoid that annoying trick and try this: http://www.wpcentral.com/tool-make-installing-windows-phone-78-update-easier

Just download, install it, it will ask you to install another flashing program when u start it, the install everything step by step and u will get it quickly... its was easier for me than the Zune "trick"...!
[HD7 General] Compiux:
Apparently, the update is taking place in some selected areas at first.

I live in Honduras (central america, south of mexico) and my brother has the hd7s. He said that the update is not in Zune yet for him (his phone is an AT&T unlocked phone bought at eBay from a US seller) but he read that the update was released in Italy

I suspect that if the hd7 is getting the update the hd7s will too...

All there is left to do is to wait... And if nothing happens we always have the custom ROMs hehe

Lets cross our fingers

DR.8820...

I've enjoyed, and found very useful many of your post(specially this one: HTC HD7 64GB), but citing some stupidity wpcentral wrote, makes me think, what is happening to him, I hope it's the weather, because wpcentral only says questionable things to get attention, just look at the comment of such post; that was their intention to make people hate HTC without reason.

Of course there is an update, it's here now.

Just ignore what wpcentral says, at least handle it with care, because they have been proved to be "attention whores" they'll do anything to get attention, even lie to the readers, and they are so pathetic that our postings(http://xdaforums.com), such as the custom ROMs posts, are cited out of context, even with misleading information.

I wish well, and hope you have learn from this website "news".

Kind regards.
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
I appreciate the kind words :), however, I wasn't trying to divide the WP community...I still have and use my HD7...but the fact remains that almost everyone without a Nokia had to force this update, only 2-3 people said it came from HTC...I hope that it does get released, but my HD7 hasn't had an update since March 19, 2011, when Tmobile released 8107.

I got tired of waiting and trying force update and used the tool from WPcentral, worked great. Did 3 updates and even backed up the phone.

Two questions i have--

-- Anyone know i the radio firmware got updated? (not likely i think)

--Did anyone notice the nasty bug with Wi-Fi and Data getting all confused after using internet sharing, fixed?

So far works great, but FK htc, will never buy a phone from them again, i can't believe they skipping the 710 updates. After countless e-mails, they refuse to fix they stupid network tool so we can setup MMS on unlocked phones-- pricks!
[HD7 General] Compiux:
Sad to hear the update is still not there for everyone :(

My HD7s will be in my hands next week hopefully, maybe I'm lucky and the update is available for my region, and if it isn't... well there is lot of people saying the custom ROM works just fine and since Fausto is from El Salvador, has the same phone and carrier and has it flashed... I might ask a thing or two to him in spanish Bwahaha!

I think users of this phone should post updates with their experiences :D

Oh, one question. Suppose my brother updates his phone (HD7s) with the custom ROM and the official update becomes available. Is it possible to... "Format and install" the original OS? (A la Windows for PC haha)
[HD7 General] faustolg:
Patience is the key...

for WP users, since most of the updates came for unlocked phones, that's why I installed an unbranded ROM at first(now I'm using customs only). carriers always screw the os experience for the users for this reason, they never release updates(never ask MS to release it for them).

No, I don't think you were trying to divide us, who tries to divide us against the real enemy(the FagPhone) is wpcentral, they encourage to us wp users against android users, divide and conquer.

XDA started as WM site, and then they opened their arms to our android brothers, that says a lot about WHO is the real enemy, not CrapBerry, not Android, the iSheeps are the enemy.

another site that is clearly an iZombie based site is osnews, which makes some reviews that looks like (and) it was written by an iFan. So pathetic...

remember my friend, unbranded ROMs and patience...
[HD7 General] Dr.8820:
I feel you...I would love to get my WP news from here, but Android only gets the front page...most of us have been asking for a separate forum for the Nokia 810, but the 820, 810, 822 all share the same forum even though they are all different phones.

HD7 will receive official 7.8 update. This thread should be closed.
[HD7 General] Compiux:
That would be nice but where is your source?

So far, I think no AT&T device in america has received the notification (My brother is patiently waiting, I think I will root it)

Maybe they intend to release in the future but as for now, it's all speculation. The "noone will get the update" has been so far a trusty statement as the "everyone will get the update":crying:

I hope you're right tho. My brother will be happy haha.
[HD7 General] maya79:
You can wait for the official notification or force update to 7.8 now:

http://www.msdonkey.com/windows-phone/how-to-force-the-windows-phone-7-8-update/

There is also easier way:

http://www.windowsphonehacker.com/articles/want_windows_phone_7.8_now_try_this_easy_tool-01-31-13

In this one be careful with the language packs. Check which languages you have on the phone already, then select all of these on the list to update. Don't disconnect your phone before "completed" message appears. It will restart three times automatically.

Do this at your own risk. I can't be responsible if something goes wrong for you. For me it updated with no issues.
[HD7 General] Compiux:
My brother has been trying to force the update with no results :( he even restored to factory settings.

He's faithfull still. Me? I believe I am quite certain that I will need to flash the phone. That's ok, I only wish there was a simpler method :P

One question I have concerning this tool you linked: In order to use it, Do I still need to downgrade? or the tool tricks the phone/zune into thinking the update is available?

Oh, btw. Don't worry, I won't make you responsible if something bad happens haha :)

(But be warned, I willl haunt you in your dreams... just saying... *maniac laugh*)

There definitely is a 7.8 update from HTC for the HD7, check this tweet I got from HTC UK

"@_awm Windows 7.8 has been released for the HTC HD7. Bear in mind, branded model updates can sometimes take slightly longer to be released"

I'm still waiting for the O2 UK branded version, but rapidly getting impatient. What's the least risky way of forcing 7.8? If I do the trick with Airplane mode in Zune - will I get any updated drivers etc? Failing that what's the most n00b-proof way of removing the link to O2 on my phone, so I get the vanilla HTC update?

Keen to have 7.8, but want to do it in the most robust way that makes sure I don't miss updates to drivers etc from HTC.
[HD7 General] David Chester:
It's now March 10th and I'm still waiting for the UK 7.8 update for my HD7 which is unlocked but has an O2 startup screen.

The internet disconnect trick does not work. Zune only reports that I have the current version or that it "Can't check for updates right now".

About to give up and starting to look at switching to a Nokia 820 in desperation but I guess that's what these bast***s want...

Has anyone got an O2-UK HD7 updated yet doing the pull the LAN trick?

Hey u both howz going on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] treytreytaylor:
Just a little background from myself. Started my journey with a OG Droid back in Dec 09. The community that phone had at the time was miraculous. I always kept it on rom's that had the most features sorta like aokp is now. Then went to Droid X. Loved that phone as well. And I did the same thing with that. Mostly CM7, Liberty, and Apex. Kinda big on themes.

Then came my VZW Nexus. Despite all the frustration people have with it about updates your never supposed to depend on a carrier for updates. Especially a nexus and especially Verizon. I love this phone to death. Still have it. When it comes to roms, the sky's the limit with this thing. I was exposed to AOKP, CM9/10, Paranoid Android and so many more custom ROMs that let me customize my phone in ways I never even dreamed of. Needless to say I was in love with pure android.

Fast forward to Oct 25. Got my note 2 from t-mobile. Due to all the touch wiz features like multi window, snote, etc I basically started to(can't believe I'm saying this) like touch wiz. I hate os skins. Sense being the most hated. But what comes with the note 2 isn't just a custom skin. I've discovered that the software included in the note 2 makes the phone what it is. Multi window is just awesome. With my daily driver Jedi X9 I feel like its perfect. But hears where my problem lies.

Ive come across a rom called jellybam. Its AOKP, CM10, and PA all in one. This is something I would have killed for not too long ago. I have it running now and it is one word. Awesome. Now I just need some advice. Stock android doesn't support 64gb cards and the memory swap function so I can use card space for apps. Jedi does. I love the themes, versatility, and all around fun I have with Jellybam that I don't with touch wiz.

Basically i just want some opinions on what i should do cause I'm tired of switching back and forth. what are you guys running and what have been your experiences with flashing ROMs on your Note 2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] moabizzi:
Jedi X series. Its off the Samsung base so everything works. From my understanding, switching to aokp and aosp, u lose the samsung specific features. I had dark unicorn for my mytouch 4g which i believe was aokp, and loved it, so i wouldnt mind a aokp build, but now i dont wanna lose some features. Have u tried flashing the perseus kernel to ur ur jedi x rom? Should solve ur memory card issues. I use a 64 gig flash key on it all the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
I'll second the suggestion to use one of the Jedi ROMs. I use X-9 because I don't care about wifi calling. Stable, fast, and has all of the stuff that makes the Note 2 special which AOSP won't have.
[Galaxy Note II General] indigotheory:
My friend has it on his S3 and it looks absolutley awesome! I think its based on Samsung stock. Would there be ANY chance of seeing this on the Note 2?
