You should, but only if the final isn't the same as the leaked one. You can also flash the final build once its released, manually.
You could just wait 1 day, too. I know it's killing you to get your hands on Froyo (it's killing me) but patience is a virtue. To be honest, I don't think it would have been as bad if Sprint didn't say we could initiate the update by downloading and installing it manually earlier. People have been hitting the "Check Now" button since last Friday (myself included). Why say that at all if you're not going to allow it?
BTW - your post title is very misleading... may want to change it to a question of some sort instead of statement implying what it isn't.
I highly doubt Sprint wouldn't allow the people that updated early to update again. That would be absolutely ridiculous. Either wait for the next update or for a root method on your current version.
So I'm wondering about this phone a friend offered to sell to me. It's a Samsung Taylor developer phone, so I have no idea which forum this goes into.
Will I be able to get software updates to the phone at all? Because right now the phone comes with the prototype ROM, so it can't record 720P. The camera is crap, some things like Facebook and Twitter don't work all the way. The marketplace isn't there. Its not stolen property because he is an independent developer and he says the phone served its purpose and he moved on to actual Win7 phones.
Any opinions? I asked my friend and he says he never tried looking for updated ROMs and he stopped using them after he got a focus.

connect it to zune and look for updates , there are beta updates for that phone (actually with a higher build number and copy/past) so I would say yes there are updates for .
I have a German Vodafone Optimus 7 that was used a couple of months by a software developer. I don't think it's running the latest (stable) build of WP7 however. When I check for updates with Zune it says that I'm up to date and the current version is: 7.0 (6536). Is this the latest version that every WP7 device is running? And if not, how come that my device doesn't get any updates?
Btw, Marketplace etc. just work fine on the device.

that is not a developer phone but a pre release , only the Samsung Taylor is a developer phone (and get beta updates )
you have to wait for the official update in 2011.

The LG Panther was a developer phone too I believe. Thanks for your reply, I'll be waiting for the january update just lik everyone else then

thanks , didn't know of the LG Panther .
ps, the latest official build is 7004.
In theory, the Taylor and Panther have updates to build 7003/7004, and they are available on the net (or if you ask the right friendly WP7 dev).
If you plug the device in to Zune, it should search for an update to 7003, though that might not happen.
73XX and above do also exist for the Taylor/Panther, but they're a lot harder to come by, and won't be coming out via Zune any time soon.
In theory, a dev device running 7003 will be able to do anything a release device running the same build (they wouldn't be much use as developer phones if they behaved differently) so I think updating the device should fix the issues you've got, though it'll never do 720p video, and the camera is terrible!
i dont think my friend's is even running the release. the market doesnt work and the live integration is blank. so if i have him get the update, basically i can upgrade it? awesome.

That sounds like an older build then, those are both working on the Taylor/Panther I've got.
Let me know if you need help finding an update.
I don´t know why but I have ROM 7006 installed on my Samsung Taylor, so diff packages from 7004 to 7008 won´t work. Asked lots of devs and MSFTies an no one seems to have ROM 7004 for the Taylor.
Any help?

Update is possible from rev. 7004 only, not from 7003 or 7006 (never heard about that revision).

I've tried from 7003 and failed.
I tried it with ROM 7006 and it also failed.
At what point is it failing?
Are you absolutely sure you're using the correct "ChevronWP7.Updater"?
The download link was pulled some time ago, so if you downloaded anything off of Chris's blog, it was the wrong updater.
Edit: I would post a link to the correct one, but all the mirrors were on megaupload...which is now gone

How did you get your Taylor to 7004 in the first place?

So, it may be fake... I received Sammy Taylor at August, 2010 and installed all updates MS sent to registered developers/partners but never heard about Taylor on 7004.
In my case, it fails when applying the diff packages, since they are all 7004-7008, adn my rom is 7006.
I have try to find info about the links to 7006-7008 packages with no success so far.
I am on an LG quantum, and 98% of stuff is working great, but I am having a few issues. Completely random reboot, LG apps don't work right or at all (PlayTo tells me to update then close), some UI effects lag or bug out, battery isn't any better than NoDo expect with batterysaver. Is anyone else seeing these issues?

So, have you gotten the official update? I'm on RTM 7720.68 and I still haven't got the update.
Looks like we have to wait another 2 weeks...
Look here...
http://www.wpcentral.com/mango-update-release-september-15th
I am on 7720.68, but I think there are some firmware issues with my quantum like some little bugs that weren't there with nodo (random reboot, minor UI effect issues) anyone else on mango noticed anything like this?
guess we have to wait another 15 more days..
im using quantum too. no random reboot problem but got little bug on 7720.
13 more days
Good thing i havent flash my rom. Im using HTC Trophy. ...
So do we still get the official update directly from 7720.68 or do we have to revert back to nodo?
I believe you have to revert to Nodo for you carriers update.
its possible tha tu can update from 7720.68. because previously i flashed my radio from 5.65 to 5.66 using custom tools RUU
then u downgraded to nodo, but the radio was still 5.66 .then i installe dmango , zune again changed my radio to 5.65
so there u go...
i`ve just got a mozart from ebay and it had mango on it 7.10.7720.68 with radio 5.54
how would i update this radio if i can , and how do i find out if its unlocked or not.
would this get any updates when the official mango comes out. i`m stuck really i`m used to android os which is easy to change and mess with. but i`m licking the windows os at the mo.

Maybe it is only a problem with my device (random reboot). What type of bug are you getting, and see if PlayTo now called SmartShare works, when I launch it, it tell me to update to the latest version (I am on 7720.68), then closes.
Thanks

no issues here either on 7720.68. SmartShare does the same thing on mine, but I believe this will be fixed once new firmware comes from LG with official Mango update. No reboots and everthing is very smooth.
Is build 7.10.7720 the final rtm or is it 7.10.7721?
to hopefully decrease the number of posts from members in the coming days about the new OTA that Sprint/HTC released today (but will not officially "push" to devices until January 24,) I would like to point out some things to new members as well as veterans, as we see this happen every time a new OTA is pushed.
1. Number one rule, and i will cap this DO NOT ACCEPT A OTA UPDATE IF YOU ARE ROOTED. it has been said many many times here, and members with rooted phones do it anyways. why risk it???? we all saw the gingerbread debacle last year.
2. New HBoot. it seems the new ota update has a new h-boot, 2.18, and from what it seems and this may remain to be seen 100% it is not unlockable with revolutionary. i can not confirm this personally.
3. New Radios. seems the baseband /radio has been updated. we eagerly await caulkin to possibly update his posts with the new updates.
edit: seems new radios have been posted in his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3214
4. Why the update? The big part of this update was to remove CIQ from the evo's. yay. There were small improvements to Peep (the htc twitter client) and other various fixes.
5. So when will my favorite rom be updated to the OTA base? well, we already have a stock rom based on the ota (actually 2!) , it is located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1455340
so this is a start. your favorite rom will be updated by it's developer when the dev has time, last update we had (4.54) we saw a rapid update of roms.
6. Great, so has sense changed at all? No we are still at sense 1.0 sigh.
7. so how about the new kernel? it is now based on htc 2.6.35.10 dated december 21, 20011. Captain_Throwback has extracted the kernel standalone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=3214
7a. What "hacks" work with the the new stock rom you posted? from what I have read, none of them, although people are still flashing/testing.
8. i have a question!! well use the search function and see if it has been answered, look here, the general threads, or the dev threads. I hope this will clear down some of the clutter that comes up during this wonderful thing called an OTA update.
Good morning guys this is a thread for the people who have received the 8.0 update already today and how is looking so far.

So can I just flash those update files with TWRP and be good to go?
I don't know if that's the stable or not, I've had that version for over a week now.
My update says C567?
I used the teammt firmware finder and, clicking on "Check Firmware Access" get "The firmware is not approved for installation."
This, I believe, means that it's not official.
We can expect the OTA to be pushed in stages, just like the beta, but, hopefully, it'll be complete by end of day this time.

Why would it be available if it's not official? I don't get that lol. The app is a little funky.
How long did the staged release of the beta take? Can we expect the update within hours, days, or weeks do you all think?

I'd say weeks, but that is just a hunch based on my experience with the rollout of the previous two patches... Once again, it would have been nice when Honor USA announced it that they didn't just say "Coming April 30" but instead were a bit more honest about how the release was being pushed out.
They shoyld have said that it will be around a certain week or something cause the frustrating lag is killing me badly and i even have a Oneplus 5t...but still is the worst lag i have seen in since 2013
I think the released update file are for update from oreo beta to oreo stable.
My first attempt to manually flash the update failed to flash the data files, only did the system update. It left me with odd build number and missing the new face-unlock feature.
I installed a second time , from the half installed oreo , and this time it completed fully. Also changed install script to use original file names instead of shortened names.
If anyone does this also please note that you will need to use the oreo flash update section as you will already be on oreo .

I used the update oreo section from my guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/guide-honor-7x-flash-oreo-update-t3781649
It was not 100% working. I am not sure if it was the shortened update-file names or because the update files are for beta update.
The update fails at about 70-80% --during the data_update and hw_update-- and then I needed to do factory reset.
After booting into half updated oreo I updated again using same guide, but used the flash update section for oreo.
And I modified the updater-binary to use the full name of updates instead of the shortened names.
Might be able to use full names on nougat update section too, but I was already in oreo, so could not test.
