Regardless of what MS posted the actual update process should check that all the requirements are met, & tell you not enough disk space etc. at the beginning of the process. Internet connections can be fine most of the time but they're not perfect, downloading everything at the start minimizes the chances of failure.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
i am sure MS will iron this things in the future, but the check on disk space its a noob thing...
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
maybe that's why they did this small update, so the real update will go smoothly...right now a bunch of people are getting upset that they don't have the update, and the update has no real benefits...
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
The fact that it was a small update that didn't give users anything but caused problems for them makes it even worse IMO. I bet there is a good chance the March update will be delayed, MS has to be more then a little nervous after this. They are lucky the WP7 user base is small, Can you imagine if 10% of Android or IPhone phones failed to update people would go nuts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Every android device fails to update. They're outdated by the time they hit shelves and 9/10 phones wont be upgraded from the firmware version they start out on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mdsharpe:
nope

Still no update here - HD7 O2 UK.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tadwitte:
Updated last night. Backing up took about 40 minutes since I have about 25 Gb of stuff on my htc hd7, but it all went fine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pikacz:
i got the notification but didn't update, i'll wait until the proper update comes and check users' feedback. is it possible to go back to the previous version after updating?
[Windows Phone 7 General] JuWa:
I haven't seen this kind of information anywhere. Even when I was looking for it. I updated my phone with battery less than a half left, 59Gb free storage on my PC, Win7 32bit., JK1 fw was in my phone. Everything went perfectly. Well I heard that there hasn't been send to Finland any phone, that has the update problem.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ustudio:
thats funny my update notice came several days ago and now is getting on my nerves as it asks me every time i hook it up to my pc, I tried it and it failed but im on a hd2
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
No update here, UK O2 HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
it seems that M$ did pull the update out from circulation to fix the update issues.

any one here from the philippines who already updated their phone?:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
No update with O2 yet.

The Virgin SIM was "invalid" so no go

Still waiting for the Vodafone one in the post.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Pyls:
Got update but dont have any carrier.

Wont install anything just yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] saldawop:
I have a T-Mob contract phone. I plugged it into Zune, no update .I then flashed a unbranded ROM onto it,as soon as I plugged it into Zune I was greeted with the Update available screen.

Could that be because I had basically performed a format of the phone? Or because of the unbranded ROM?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mdsharpe:
I bet it's because it's unbranded... which sucks. The way the "carriers" are involved in the update process is just awful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tfouto:
dont you loose the warranty because of the unbraded ROM? Can you install the branded ROM?
[Windows Phone 7 General] saldawop:
I dont think you can install the official T-Mob firmware, but there is , I think, a modified ROM that has T-Mob branding...but I could be wrong!!

Hopefully(Fingers and toes crossed) I wont need to use the warranty
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Anyone else tried to unbrand the phone? I'm kinda scaried about doing that. But if the things goes like this with 8th March update, I'll not think twice
[Windows Phone 7 General] jemaho:
I did unbrand mine to two 2 different brands (t-mobile and Asia Sea), no updates
[Windows Phone 7 General] sadnes:
me too

and no update

i i'm o2 uk hd7

and i back again to o2 uk
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
it must be the evil carriers blocking the update!!!

:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
STILL NO UPDATE =(

Htc Hd7 - Unlocked- Philippines
[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
i have an unbranded omnia 7 i got it with my contract. I had a flawless upgrade process, maybe it is an issue with the older firmware since the most recent was pre installed on mine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
Carrier Block

I had to speak to the Technical Support area of the AT&T Warranty Center today. All of a sudden, after 2 months, the battery icon at the top of the page ehibited the following symptoms:

. Blinks on and off, sometimes with the "plug" showing on the battery icon even though the phone is not on the charger. Blinks about once every 2 seconds.

. "Beeps" everytime it blinks.

. Screen will not turn off because this icon is blinking.

I was told that Technical Support had a meeting yesterday and that this is a know issue with WP7 by Microsoft and that the upcoming late February/early March update will contain a fix for this issue.

I asked why I had not recived an update notification and whether AT&T was holding up this update. The TS person said absolutely not, especially since this update will contain bug fixes that affect currently released phone models. AT&T is not holding back the update.

This person also told me that the issue is suspected to be caused by a virus that enters the phone when browsing the Internet and that warranty does not cover viruses. Well, that set me off. Their phone, their OS, their browser. I'll address this to be sure.

But, the update is coming, contains fixes, and AT&T is NOT holding it back.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JosepHenry:
I dont think the issue with bricked Samsung phones is MS related. It could be an issue due with the phone. My dad is on sprint and has the Samsung Epic 4G. After trying to update it Froyo his phone has become pretty much a POS. Not only does it have connectivity and SD card issues like described in the engadget article but a lot of the times it shuts off by itself, wont shut off unless you pull the battery, and other times it freezes on start up. Something fishy is going on here.

Engadget Article (Sprint Pulls Froyo Update For Samsung Epic 4G) -http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/24/sprint-pulls-epic-4g-froyo-update-cites-data-connectivity-and-s/
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Blame Samsung.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Anyone who has successfully updated, do you have access to the backup to perform a restore or is it only availabe in the context of an update?
[Windows Phone 7 General] enyaj:
I have an Unlocked HD7 and I'm from the Philippines. I updated Feb 21. I just plugged the phone to my PC and there it was. Available update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] taruian:

this morning my phone got updated successfully, took around 15 minutes. everything went fine. phone is unlocked too, can deploy apps. everything working fine. will post if i encountered any bugs at later stage :)

[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
i tried it, but until now still no update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
same here. havent received the notification. im thinking of letting this update pass and wait for the nodo update instead.
[Windows Phone 7 General] s@int:
Trophy no update yet :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] NickWKent:
Still nothing for..

HTC HD7 on T-Mobile USA
[Windows Phone 7 General] McHale:
Two things you need to know about AT&T:

1. Nearly everybody you talk to will answer your question regardless if they know the answer or not (and they usually have NO clue what they are talking about).

2. AT&T lies.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eried:
I am now getting an error in zune/updates :( (previously I received: "Your phone is updated" msg)

Samsung Focus here (unlocked AT&T)
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
I updated my Focus & when you plug it in & go to update it tells you that you're already up to date, with the option to go back to the previous restore point. It warns you that if you go back you will lose any changes made since the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Thanks, now I just have to figure out if that can be used to do a restore if I change my sd card and reset my phone so I dont lose my settings.
[Windows Phone 7 General] second_east:
Successfully updated HD7. You can perform restore through zune.
[Windows Phone 7 General] s@int:
its already pissed me off to wait for that update on my Trophy :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrLeche:
Come on.

Will you look at the time. I still got no love here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
LOL, same here! no update!

HTC HD7 - Unlocked Philippines!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrLeche:
No straight answers from HTC Philippines either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dgaust:
Telstra in Australia said the update wouldn't be released to at least mid-march, that is if it passes their testing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dark_tranq:
Telstra has the best network here, but damn i HATE how long it takes stuff to get out and updated.

wonder how long the major updates will take :(

Im new to the WP7.. im guessing there is no way to flash a stock/unbranded rom like android?
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
same here.im from pinas and still no update. do you have a branded winphone? i already asked my network provider and they are not even aware that there is an update that winphone device owners should receive. but i just noticed one post from a ka-babayang pinoy here who claims that he/she already had the update. i think we need to have him/her confirm it as well as if his phone is branded or not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
aside from the pre-NoDo and the actual NoDo update, there are news that IE9 is coming to winphone7 sooner than the Mango update. i just hope that itll be distributed to device owners on the promised date of release(did m$ promised a date for each release?).also hoping that the same also goes with the other updates.:confused:

source: wmpoweruser
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrLeche:
Nope no updates till now. What should I expect from Philippine Cellphone Distributors? Can I even name a distributor that knows what they are selling? I got mine from Memo Express Megamall. HTC Philippines doesn't even know that Xperia X1 and X10 are HTC handsets. Hell, no company here knows what they are selling, Nokia?, SE?, Samsung and the latter brands HTC, LG and then some.

Anyway, that's the reason consumers seek out resources besides their respective cellphone company brands.
[Windows Phone 7 General] otech:
News to me too...
[Windows Phone 7 General] JuWa:
Are they? :eek: :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] vel0city1:
HTC Surround on AT&T and I still don't have the update. I wonder why it hasn't come yet, even though AT&T said they weren't blocking the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
A Tech Support rep from AT&T said they weren't blocking it. They have to be blocking it at this point.
[Windows Phone 7 General] otech:
Well, semantically they aren't blocking it, they just havent authorised Microsoft to release it :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
"just haven't authorised Microsoft to release it" is truly just a longer way of saying "blocked it." It's not like they're still testing it or something.

Here's my point: when the pre-update-update comes out, it will be included as part of "NoDo," semantically making it just NoDo. That means the pre-update-update was blocked. I won't get it. I'll get NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tjwheels:
I talked with MS on Tuesday about an issue I was having with an app in Marketplace. At the end of our confersation I asked when I could expect the update on my AT&T Samsung Focus. His reply (broken English) "was in two days, March 3rd". I said does that include the Focus, again he said "March 3rd, in two days". I'm not holding my breath, it took three weeks for them to return a call on my case that was suppose to take three days.

AT&T Samsung Focus, Michigan,USA
[Windows Phone 7 General] mKTank:
Anyone else here think that this is Microsoft's way of getting some carriers to block it on purpose so that they definitely can't block the NoDo update?

Of course it could totally backfire and they could call MS's bluff and just block NoDo after allowing this one. Heh.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
I don't know why there is some conspiracy theory here about carriers wanting to black these updates. At this point in the game, there is no advantage for the carrier to do this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
Then give a logical explanation as to why it's not out for any phones on US carriers? I could see an argument to be made for AT&T that they didn't want to put the update out for two phones when one of them got pulled from Microsoft, but then why doesn't T-Mobile have it yet? From what I understand, no one with an HD7 on T-Mobile has it yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
T-Mo in particular probably doesnt want the positive press detracting from their baby android... They've shown a distinct lack of interest in promoting WP7 despite their canned comments.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dgaust:
If that article is correct, it would appear the IE is modular and can be updated outside of an actual OS update (maybe through marketplace?). That would most likely mean it falls outside the network's approval.

The should really do it with all their apps. Maps could do with an update to use the new Bing features (it must be embarrassing for the iPhone to have a far better Bing maps app), and marketplace could have done with a lot of bug fixes ages ago.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
Just plugged my UK O2 PAYG HD7 into my PC and got told an update was available. Typical as my battery is half dead so I have to wait a while before starting.... woohoo
[Windows Phone 7 General] s@int:
at last i recieved my update as well on Trophy !!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheRaggyGandalf:
Indeed now I've got mine too (O2 Germany HD 7 simlock free)

5 min later update finished no issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adamelphick:
Amazing - 5 minutes - all updated no issues whatsoever. Am I glad I stuck with HTC and didn't get a Samsung!
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrLeche:
I emalied microsoft yesterday and told them why don't we from the Philippines did not get an update? my phone is still on 7004?

I just received an email stating that just plug in to the PC and Zune will promopt. I did that yesterday as soon as I received the reply. But no update was available even if I check the phone settings.

But now, just now. There is an update available. I'm currently on step 8 out of 9 So It is a first official update here in the Philippines. Whoa it's pretty quick. The updates done just as soon as I type this post. I'm now on 7008. I'm gonna post later after I checked out on what's different.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:

so, will it be possible update htc hd2 with hd7 rom?
[Windows Phone 7 General] markd66:
Currently updating here (UK) - no notification to phone, but connected to Zune, searched for update and there it was.... 48% backup done.
[Windows Phone 7 General] megagprime:
still no update available up here in canada eh
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
So I hope it will make full backup of the device and restore it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] S2kT68m:
Looks so..., the backup takes a long time ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
can someone confirm that after the update you can still unlock it using shvron ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] JackalJackalJackal:
Yes, with Chevron is unlocked after the update !! :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] antoninopz:
Hey GUYs

Updating not succeeded because of the changes of Register for HD2 WP7.

The error says not to have succeeded in making the copy of beckup and doesn't continue!!!

Some solution?:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] ceesheim:
what I want to know is , if your phone was locked BEFORE the update can you unlock it after the update (that is something different then updating an unlocked phone)
[Windows Phone 7 General] mpbXda:
tried it on HD2 -> xbmod 1.03 wp7

Just in case anyone was wondering...

I did try to update using a HD2 running xbmod 1.03 WP7 rom..

went all the way through.... well almsot..

went well till almost the very end and then in sight of the finishline got a

'Your device wasn't updated' 80... (something) error.. unfortunately

The phone was 'unharmed' and still in working condition though..

backup worked apparently, everything was still there.. (apps, msgs, @accounts, the works...)

so? save to try?? In my case it seems so, but you could also just 'learn' from the outcome :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] JackalJackalJackal:
I had the phone unlocked. I performed the upgrade, then hard reset again the phone unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arkatis:
Yes!!!!!!!!

Yes..i got the message!!!:D But.... should i Update my Unlocked HD7??? I am afraid that the update will lock it down! Did Microsoft fixed the Security hole they had about Chev unlock??

Also for the HD2 guys! Please don't Update your device! Wait until a dev cook it in a Custom Rom!!!

Please read here for more info about the Update!

[Windows Phone 7 General] Marvin_S:
They say it stays unlocked :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Hologos:
Read the f***ing topic!
[Windows Phone 7 General] megagprime:
even if it did get relocked, you cant wait up to a couple days for it to be unlocked again?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrLeche:
Not much of a difference. Just noticed a small difference on:

7.0 (7004)

to

7.0 (7008)

XD
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
how come i still dont have my update? is it because i have a tmobile branded phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Yep, as usual it seems the US carriers cant break their habit of screwing their users, no one on at&t nor t-mobile US have reported getting an update. Typical, not even for the Dell that they dont sell or support.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dgaust:
You're not alone... us poor Aussies don't get an update either from our largest carrier (Telstra). I emailed the CEO and received a response (probably from one of his minions) stating it wouldn't be released until mid-March at the earliest.

This is for a nothing update, god knows how long a decent update will take to get through their testing processes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
if the CEO of telstra is saying that they will release the pre-nodo update mid march what about the MAJOR NoDo update? second half of 2011? and how about the update that bundles multi tasking and all that stuff? 2012? if the mayan prophecies are true we will no longer be here by the time they release the updates...:p
[Windows Phone 7 General] mKTank:
I don't think this update actually does anything. I say it's all placebo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mdsharpe:
o2 UK HD7 updated

Well, this morning I have finally been delivered the update. It's installing right now apparently (step 7 of 9).

O2 UK,

HTC HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] JuWa:
After couple week testing I have to say, that it does load market little bit faster still. No placebo. It is faster overall. BUT the market has crashed couple times, so this wasn't repaired, but it's anyway coming on NoDo update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
well i am on voda australia and i got the update today :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niall M:
Just got it here on Vodafone UK for my Trophy.

Painless - took about 5 mins

Was signed into my work computer as a "Guest" through Zune to boot.

(main relationship is with the home PC for Music, etc - simply "Copy to My Collection" to get work images off the phone)

[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
HTC Trophy updated!

5 mins and done. No problems. Yeap, nothing changed. Still, I prefer some 'placebo updates' than nothing.

And I didn't received any message on my phone. I just plugged in my computer and Zune warned me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
You know, there has been no mention at all that the MP crashes will be fixed in the update, just a better MP search. This is Microsoft, expect to be disappointed and that the crashes havent actually been addressed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bearkilla:
zune just says 'checking for updates' o2 uk HTC HD7

how long does it take?
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrLeche:
Seriously, I haven't noticed a changed on this update. My marketplace doesn't seem to be faster, updates still shows on marketplace tile even if the app is already updated. Kinda annoying if you ask me. Camera STILL doesn't memorize its last setting. Haven't you guys ever thought of the reason why the update time is fast is just because they only change a character from 7004 to 7008? :-D

if this seamless update took a while to launch, how much more if it's a major fix?
[Windows Phone 7 General] zard:
HTC HD7 - Singtel

Got my update notification around lunch. Got it updated before 9pm earlier. Took me 8 minutes to complete. Phone was rebooted twice during the update, if you're interested to know.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
O2 UK HD7 successfully updated 13:30Hrs UK time, took about 8 minutes, 2 reboots and appears to have made no difference to my phone whatsoever. Version now reads 7008 (was 7004). Looking forward to NoDo
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
This update only includes some background stuff, including potentially some device depenedent updates. We're getting noticeably changes in a week or so with the NoDo update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
If you hate MS so much, don't buy their products. Very simple and maybe you wouldn't be so unhappy.

ummm, none of that was promised in this update. Try doing a little research.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JuWa:
Yes there has and yes I know it will be fixed in NoDo update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
How do you know it will be fixed in NoDo? As far as I know, the only thing officially confirmed for marketplace is separation of application and music in search results.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zammi:

The official announce says it includes "bug fixes". And I have heard it from a people who works for MS.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
Has there been anyone on AT&T or T-Mobile who's gotten the update yet? This is infuriating.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JamesAllen:
No

No. Nothing yet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrLeche:
Come on. I'm suppose to do a little research? Too lazy. I'll wait it out. XD
