[Windows Phone 7 General] Musho:
i hope we will get the new ROM with updated version

still no notification for an unlocked tmobile hd7 working on att network ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] jimecm:
Microsoft recommends not to retry the update, as subsequent attempts will fail similarly. Microsoft said that: "While we continue to investigate the issue, we would ask that you not attempt the update until your device alerts you of another update opportunity, in approximately 3 days' time."

Solution to the 801812C1 error

Great News! I have stumbled upon a solution for the 801812C1 error!

I have reasons to believe that this works for LG E900 Optimus 7 phones. If you want to try this on your Samsung Omnia 7, please read my note at the end of the post.

Here's what I did (LG E900 Optimus 7 / Windows 7 64bit):

During Step 6 (Rebooting your phone), your Windows OS detects your phone as a new device and starts searching for driver updates online. This can be seen when you click on the little indicator with a spinning green circle in the bottom-right corner of your desktop called the notification area (you might need to click on Show Hidden Icons if it's hidden).

You have to *immediately* click on "Skip Obtaining Device Software Online" or Zune will time-out and show error 801812C1.

Once you've skipped obtaining the drivers online, in about 20 seconds or so, your device will be recognized and you will be promptly taken to the Step 7 of the update.

Note for Samsung Omnia 7 users:

Even if you've gotten past the Step 6 801812C1 error, many users are getting stuck at Step 7 at 100% of 'Backing up your phone' resulting in a few users getting their phones bricked -- you might want to wait till that issue is resolved before trying this fix.

Hope this helps.

So, with the exception of the one DVP I've seen updated, still no American users? I really hope my beloved T-Mobile isn't screwing me, I love them too much for this lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
xda should have an IQ test as part of their join process...

nothing on my hd7 yet either, tried through the phone and through zune, says I'm up to date.

I'll try again tomorrow.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Only my unbranded devices are getting it... anything branded T-mobile or ATT is nil
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
same here... been waiting all night :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] alesscam:
Lost time.....:rolleyes:

this update is not very important

only a slight improvement in the responsiveness of the OS
[Windows Phone 7 General] jianototi:

error on update...

problem of update due to registry tweak.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Do you have an HD2?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
I love how we are all getting excited about a pre-update update.

But, then again, if there really are bug fixes and performance enhancements like people are reporting, then I guess there is a reason to be excited.

Maybe tomorrow for us US owners . . .
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
The excitement comes from seeing progress for most of these folks. A lot of them were worried we wouldn't see action because they were basing their opinions on rumors. People on XDA are also some of the most impatient people around, they want information when they want it, how they want it, and they want it to contain information they deem relevant... So a pre-update is something to feed their selfishness lol
[Windows Phone 7 General] Talys:
LOL LOL... yes, I've never been so excited to download an upgrade that gives me nothing. ROFL.

Still nothing, Telus Optimus 7 on Fido (Canada).
[Windows Phone 7 General] dgaust:
It's not the contents of the update, it's the process (and the feeling of forward progress)... I just want to update it to see how the process works even if it actually doesn't make any difference to the phone itself.
[Windows Phone 7 General] microhaxo:
Wifi off when sleep is not a bug, think about it...
[Windows Phone 7 General] moonshines:
just excited that is. i just want to see how the process goes. besides i don't have anything to do during the evening. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Could you cite a source on that? Cause I think that's just a whole lot of wishful thinking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] otech:
How about reading the description of the update?

'The Windows Phone Update for Feb 2011 includes needed improvements to the Zune Software used for delivering Windows Phone Updates and additional high-priority OEM software updates...
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
due to issues MS will launch this update in few more days.... and they are releasing it by the windows live ID as my phone is not a teloc set but still no update...

i am not sure if its a blessing or not..... it looks like i have to wait for my zune to tell me that i ihave an update..
[Windows Phone 7 General] otech:
Absolute unfounded rubbish. Post the link to your source that they are releasing it by live id. That would mean those who dont sign in with a live Id never get an update.

Please dont make stuff up, its not useful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
if thats not the case then please tell me why some ppl do not have notifications on the phone but when they connect it to ZUNE they have updates, and at the same time lots of the ppl do not have updates on the ZUNE (even when they have signed in/logged on).

i am not using a teloc contract and i have a HD7 without contract from a HTC reseller in singapore, there are ppl from telco in singapore have updates, some dont, its not acrros the board ...

so please tell me how are they picking up the upadates.... definetly not by the devices ID...

i may be wrong but there is a system in place to pick who will get this update..
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsraining2008:
I got update from Zune and everythings work perfect :D My device still unlocked and all sideload apps working without any problem. You guy can update without worrying about relock.

Cheer, WP7 Update
[Windows Phone 7 General] itsraining2008:
That's may be Malaysia region problem, mine is bought from SG too. But living at burma (Myanmar) and use China ISP. I have successfully update to 7008 now. May be your Zune not up to date? Try hard reset you Phone (take battery out for 5 or 10 sec) You won't get remind from wifi and currently MS not allow OTA. You need to connect your Phone to PC (Zune)

Ps.My Live ID is Australia. that not depend on Live ID dude (windows phone still not avaliable in china)
[Windows Phone 7 General] iwantnokia:
updated yesterday morning to latest version, but found phone become un-stable, hang twice on IE......

[Windows Phone 7 General] y-ray:
Could it be something with the microSD cards interfering with the update? I tried removing the sd card to update but didn't work, also I still couldn't turn on the phone without the SD card in place.

[Windows Phone 7 General] morbital:
Update completed successfully on LG Optimus Quantum on Bell Mobility

took about 15 minutes

Phone has been unlocked with ChevronWP7 but this didnt seem to cause any problems with the update process :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] WithinRafael:
Can a bricked user report whether or not holding the Camera button during power on results in the service graphic? If USB sync works, this is salvageable (by carrier/oem, not us). You can also try (tested on Samsung Focus) holding Camera + Volume Down to get a device format dialog. No idea what this formats so beware.
[Windows Phone 7 General] s@int:
My HTC Trophy still out of date :/ no update recieved yet :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] gc48067:
A thought....

Update message from the Phone could be carrier generated, update through Zune could be MS governed...? It would explain why no update messages for some yet Zune allowed update.

My phone is running unbranded firmware so might have passed any 'test' MS use via Zune but obviously Orange wouldn't send a message until they were ready. I'd expect MS have now stopped further updates via Zune for the time being (Omnia 7 at least) either way but who knows....

NOTE - before anyone flames that this is pure guesswork/unfounded etc I highlight that this is pure guesswork and is unfounded.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DrAkO82:
Still not available this morning here in Canada with Telus - LG Optimus 7
[Windows Phone 7 General] otech:
Actually, I discovered today that checking for updates via zune actually just gets the phone to poll for the update.

I had the battery cover off my Mozart (antenna built into cover) and the zune check for updates said it couldn't check as I had no connection on my phone.

So yes, if the carrier is able to somehow block the polling, then there is no way to get the update.

HOWEVER

People on my network (telstra) who don't have a telstra branded phone have received the update - so I don't think this is the issue.

That being said, I am off to put another networks SIM in and give it a crack.

Edit

Checked with no reception and wifi only, and with another sim card - and no different :-)

I don't believe the carriers are literally blocking the update, Microsoft is not advertising it to the handsets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gc48067:
Bet the branding on the phone is involved in deciding what you get....
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
I just put mine into flight mode conected to Zune and checked for updates via Zune which returned the "your phone is up to date" message, so unless Zune overrides flight mode, your idea may be erroneous. FWIW, my bet is that MS have pulled the update until they figure out the Samsung issues.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Well here, all they say is that they've made improvements in how they deliver the software, so basically what everyone else on earth has been saying, that it's just an update to make sure the update goes smoothly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] someeh:
I got a notification yesterday on my phone about the new update. I haven't had time to check my zune software. Also, I'm aware it's not for the HD2 wp7 roms that the majority of us T-mob users have now lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] root beer:
I just wiped my phone totally by choosing 'reset your phone' and the update finally worked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fb401:
My LG is unbranded and unlocked, still no update for me.

[Windows Phone 7 General] alodar1:
Cha Ching.....

If you were to look at the Top 15 or 20 Mobile operators around the World....the ones that have some kind of written agreement with MS, I think you would find these are the MO's NOT releasing the update yet. Most of the smaller Mobile Operators should be open for update. Most unbranded devices should be open for update. The Notification should be pushed through the Mobile Operator...so if your MO is in that Top 15-20...bets are...branded or not, unlocked or not, you won't see it until they decide to release it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Don't particularly care to take this route. I will just wait until they've fixed the issue. As long as this doesn't affect the March 8 update, then I don't mind waiting.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Useless guy:
My LG Panther didn't find any updates too.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
I for one am very glad they did this update before the nodo update...imagine how mad people would be if they couldn't get that update for days while others had it; i mean there are people who are mad right now because they can't get this update, which most likely has no tangible benefits
[Windows Phone 7 General] root beer:
It's fine as when you restart the phone It downloads all your contacts, calendar etc so getting it back to how it was doesn't take long at all. Only negative Is having to input all your favorites into Internet Explorer.

I had an Omnia 7 flashed to the JK1 firmware with only a few games and music cd's on it so It must need nearly the whole lot of memory free to update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jianototi:
yes HD2 upgraded by the DFT version to WP7
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
The obviously that's why it isn't updating, you're using an OS you didn't pay for on a device that it isn't meant for... You think it's going to update the normal route?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ikke008:
Hello,

My device was not unlocked before the update.

I've updated my omnia 7, but now, Chervron can't connect to my phone.

What do I have to do?

Can I go back to the stock rom?
[Windows Phone 7 General] jianototi:
well nothing wrong when we try and learn,this is why xda-developers is build for to exchange experience and knowledge from developers are you one of Microsoft Spies or something hehehe:D

ohz reallyz ?

is the "normal route": promise update, finally deliver update for updates, then brick phone with update, and finally withdraw update.... or did you mean some other way ?

By Kurt Mackie

02/23/2011 Microsoft issued its first Windows Phone 7 update on Monday, but it has since announced the removal of the update, which caused trouble for some Samsung phone owners.

Microsoft said in a statement on Wednesday that it had found "a technical issue with the Windows Phone update process that impacts a small number of phones." A Microsoft support forum contains complaints from users of the Samsung Focus and Omnia 7 smartphones. In some cases, the phones were "bricking up" or becoming unusable after starting the update process.

Microsoft's advice in the forum is to remove and reinstall the battery in cases where the phones have bricked. The idea is to boot the phone's software back into its original state on the firmware. However, some respondents in the forum found that the trick did not work for them. The phones seem to require a sequence of button pushes to get the reboot started, as described in the forum.

Ironically, this first update to Windows Phone 7 devices was supposed to have been an update to the update process itself. It wasn't the update promised by Microsoft earlier this month at the World Mobile Congress event in Barcelona, Spain. At that time, Microsoft announced it would to deliver copy-and-paste functionality with the first update. A second update is planned for the second half of this year that will integrate Twitter social networking, the Internet Explorer 9 browser and Windows Live SkyDrive access for file storage.

A post by Michael Stroh at Microsoft's Windows phone blog explained the purpose of Monday's update.

"This first update for Windows Phone is designed to improve the software update process itself," Stroh wrote in the blog. "So while it might not sound exciting, it's still important because it's paving the way for all future goodie-filled updates to your phone, such as copy and paste or improved Marketplace search."

It's not clear when the issue with this update will be resolved. A Tuesday post in Microsoft's support forum by moderator Patrizia R of Microsoft support suggested that another update will be coming this week with a fix.

"We would recommend at this time, not to retry the update, as subsequent attempts will fail similarly," Patrizia R wrote. "While we continue to investigate the issue, we would ask that you not attempt the update until your device alerts you of another update opportunity, in approximately 3 days' time."
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
so MS have pulled out the update???
[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
still no update..

htc hd7 -unlock philippines
[Windows Phone 7 General] tiny17:
Only for Samsung devices. All other devices are still a go.

They have not given any indication when Samsung will get the update, but they have suggested it could be as early as a few days, or be lumped into the March 8th update.

I'm fine with that, as long as the March 8th update comes as expected . . .
[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
if this is the case my HD7 is still on the waiting list as i still have no update..

[Windows Phone 7 General] truffle1234:
this is what i got on MS website....

Q: I still haven’t received an update notification yet. When can I expect it?

A: It’s hard to predict because it depends on many factors. It could be days—or even weeks—before you’re able to update your phone.

http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...-answers-about-our-first-software-update.aspx

few DAYs to few WEEKS....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
+1 to this.

I don't really see why some are getting so wound up by it. The update offers very little and as long as the March update comes as expected to Samsung devices then I'm happy to wait. I'd rather wait than have a bricked phone after all. I also can't be dealing with trying to re-flash firmware using developer tools etc.. It will not be necessary for the sake of waiting a few days / weeks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
I think people want an upgrade, have been told upgrades would be easy/better/faster/stronger and now phones are being bricked by those promised updates. update dates are not advertised. updates were supposedly "everyone @ once, none of that android fragmentation".

the one person I know with wp had a phone that was bricked... having to drive an hour one way to pick up another phone, and now having to reinstall all her apps/contacts did not win a future customer.

I dunno, well see.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
I can understand the frustration for users with bricked handsets. I would be furious in that position. I was refering more to the people who are getting angry at not yet receiving the notification of updates being available as MS have stated that they will be rolling out over a period of time.

Given that it is the first time MS have ever done this on a mobile OS I would expect there to be issues (not to the extent of what has happened with Samsung devices - I own an Omnia 7 btw).

I will reserve judgement until the March patch is rolled out. Afterall devices have been bricked by Apple updates so I don't think MS is unique here.

I'm also curious if the fault lies soley with MS or if Samsung are part to blame (they have a pretty poor record with software).
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
article, without annoying ads, etc

Microsoft, in an effort to "keep us in the loop", has posted more information on the first Windows Phone 7 update. The latest info echoes the earlier reports that 90% of the update installations have been successful. Understandably, Microsoft recognizes that if your in the 10% who didn't have such good luck or are still waiting for the update notification, things can be a little aggravating.

Microsoft is recommending for those still receiving the update notification to take a few precautions before starting the update process.

"Given what we’ve learned so far, the best way to prepare for your update is to make sure your computer has an Internet connection and plenty of disk space before you begin. Why? Because before updating your phone, the Zune software and Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac attempt to back up your phone data as a precaution."

In diplomatic fashion, Microsoft does places some of the responsibility for update delays with the individual carriers. In explaining why the update process is taking so long to get to everyone Microsoft comments,

"Another reason is that Microsoft and the carriers we’ve partnered with around the world need time to test phone updates to make sure they meet our joint quality, performance, and reliability standards. Testing schedules can vary, and that affects when you’ll be able to download an update."

A rather diplomatic way of putting it and Microsoft is looking into ways of improving the process. If you have problems with the update, Microsoft has a Troubleshooter guide that addresses several of the known update related problems.

Lastly, if you choose to skip this update you shouldn't worry. The patches will be bundled with the next update (presumably the Nodo Update) so you will get it then. Hopefully Microsoft can iron out the issues with Samsung before then.

Finally is the same **** than Android !!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
No update here for my UK O2 HD7, some 3 days after Microsoft have released it. I really am a die hard WP7 supporter (as my posting history will show) but if MS allow the bloody carriers to hobble my phone I am going to swallow my pride and get an iphone! It's not the content of this update that bothers me, it's the roll out mechanism - surely they should have tested it with carriers BEFORE announcing it, Vodafone have told one of their customers that their testing regime will take 6 to 8 weeks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] saldawop:
I appreciate that many may not want to do it, but I am with T-Mobile UK . Had no sniff of the update, yesterday I decided to flash the ROM to an unbranded version.After that, when I plugged it into Zune to reinstall my music , I was immediately confronted with a message telling me an update was available. Took about 5 minutes , no problems on my Omnia 7
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Purely out of interest, has anybody on O2 UK had an update notification?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sure haven't:
Please choose a tense, stick with it, and repost your thoughts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] irispen:
still no update..

i wonder what is the problem? i bought mine unlock.. and some of my friends got already the update!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] sadnes:
No no no no no and idon't why
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffgeno:
Has anyone who's gotten the update done a hard reset afterwards? I'm curious how the backup and restore procedure works, whether it's just during updates or if you can restore at other times.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Going to unlock my UK O2 HD7 tonight (got an unlock code from htcimeiunlock.com) and switch to a Virgin SIM and see what happens. If nothing, I've got a vodafone SIM on order, will try that. If those three networks aren't offering the update, I'll admit defeat.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bhutani99:

[Windows Phone 7 General] Cass67:
I haven't and i've seen no one who has ..
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
You need plenty of space on your PC for the update to succeed. It backs up the entire system before updating.
[Windows Phone 7 General] alesscam:
i have 48,6 Gb avaliable on 178 gb in my Pc and i haven't nothing problem with this update

would be interesting to know how much space users who have not been able to upgrade
[Windows Phone 7 General] phoneguy 4567:
Why doesn't the update/backup process check your available disk space & stop you from continuing if you don't have enough? Why doesn't the update process download the update locally first & only after it gets the file & everything else it needs does it continue?

MS dropped the ball since they say a lot of the update issues were related to space & bad internet connections, which could have been avoided by adding checks to the update process & looks like they failed to do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] adesonic:
Please let us know how that goes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PCDOCLEE:
I read somewhere that some 64-bit Windows systems were also a possible issue. Don't forget that the original MS post said to have a good solid Internet connection and a fully charged phone too. Start it off with a cold boot of the phone.
