[Q] Official NoDo update fails, now what? - Windows Phone 7 General

ive got a samsung omnia 7 and carrier is orange UK, i was sent a message to the phone saying the update is available but when i try to update it, it fails saying the timer ran out. error code 800705b4. any ideas or should i find my hammer? and wait for iphone 5?

I haven't had that problem, only cause AT&T is dragging, but I was able to find this on the error code.

Hope it helps!

ive got a samsung omnia 7 and carrier is orange UK and i just updated to the pre-nodo no problem - i didnt get a message about the nodo yet. just try again at least your phone isnt bricked

I got that on one of my devices, switched USB ports and it worked perfect. Apparently that one wasn't a high speed port.

ill try changing ports then, i think its must be the pre Nodo update now. i was told they would be installed into one update but maybe not.....

I got the Pre-NoDo update about an hour ago on Orange UK. Went through ok on my Omnia 7.
In preperation i deleted all the music off it to make sure there was plenty of free space. Thought it best be on the safe side! Only took about 5 minutes

Nah, it's separate. They can't really subsidize the updates like that and if they did it'd likely take forever.

If that doesn't work, try free up some storage space on your phone to below 3GB mark. At least that's how some Focus owners have to do.

deleting music now, why do i get the feeling the pre update is going to make me reset my phone to factory settings before it will work???

I had that problem with the pre-NoDo update, and ended up just hard-resetting the phone to get it to work. No problems at all with NoDo though, once the February update had already been installed and I had reinstalled all my apps, re-unlocked and unbranded it, etc. Backed up and installed perfectly once February update was in place.
It seems (from perusing other threads here and elsewhere) that the issue is one of the software timing out during the backup process when there's too much data on the phone. It's not a lack of free space, but a matter of the data taking too long to enumerate or transfer. Having < 3 GB total in use seems to work for a lot of people.
It also seems that the February update to fix the updating process corrects this issue - so if you have to hard-reset the phone to get it to update, go to the February update (but not March), then re-do your unlocking and customizations, reinstall your software, content, etc. and then the March NoDo update should back up the phone successfully and install fine without timing out. At least it did for me ...

despite wiping all of my music and lots of apps it still dosnt work. pre nodo sucks.

No, Samsung Sucks.

Yea, I think Samsung flashed firmware to some of their phones which isn't what they were supposed to, so it was borking up some updates. That's why only their phones have been messing up with the Pre-NoDo.

I solved this issue by updating on another PC.

Did you specifically erase all content using Zune? It wipes out everything but apps. I did that and the pre-update worked.

I believe the threshold is 3GB used, not 3GB free space. So, you need to keep deleting stuff.

I'm at 2.7 gb used and I still get error 800705B4.
I don't know if I have a PC in the house with faster USB ports.

I had 6 gigs full on my 8 gig device and it worked fine... Are your USB ports high speed ports? How new is your computer?

My computer is pretty old. 4 yrs.
I think it may be because I have all 4 USB ports in the front being used. I imagine that they're all just ports using the same controller. So that might be slowing down things in general.
When I get back home tonight, I'm going to try unplugging the devices on the other USB ports and see if that helps.

[Q] Update wp7 sucessuful?

This poll is just for Samsung devices!!!
I have made a poll for Samsung users to see how many Samsung wp7 devices were sucessfully updated... and on which update release...
Omnia 7 8GB, I have updated fine in the end. But here's my story on how.
I've initially tried at work, on my desktop. Failed.
Searched on the net and found someone who freed 4.5 GB (in Zune not in phone) and successfully updated. I freed 4.5 GB but it still failed. I just got home and retried here, different computer, same Zune. It worked! The only difference I did is installed this: MicrosoftFixit50581.msi from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2484484#ReceiveErrorUpdating because for the first update attempt (from 23 Feb) I was getting the error: C1010007
Hope others can do it like I did, try it on different computers!
Also, I've posted here:
http://www.zdnet.com/tb/1-94102-1801460
Not working for me, I will try on a laptop but I'm against deleting things or resetting the phone as I shouldn't have to do that .
No notification here yet (Omnia 7 Orange UK). Still I will wait a few days and make sure there are no more horror stories of bricking handsets before trying!

Yup, says i'm up to date at *004 version.
No notification yet, I have a Omnia 7 on Orange UK. Zune says version: 7.0 (7004)
HTC Mozart Orange UK, not yet any notification.
Omnia 7 Orange FR, notified yesterday night, and updated just fine.
(Omnia7 previously flashed with latest Samsung firmware because i've got the bad bootloader 4.10.1.9 preventing update without USB plug )
I update a few days ago never go notifications though, I was just syncing my phone and Zune said there was an update...
I have a O2 Branded HD7 running on Vodafone
still no notification, Omnia 7 on Orange UK.
I finally updated my Omnia 7!
- Tried about 4 times: failed
- Deleted all my music (around 8.5GB): failed
- Deleted all my apps except Engadget and Diodict: failed
Next steps should have been to delete games, then accounts, until I would be left with no choice but to do a factory reset.
Luckily I had TweetDeck tracking the error code in case something came up and surely, @dvroegop found a trick: He turned off Wifi then deleted all his pictures and managed to update straightaway.
At this point I had nothing to lose, really wanting to avoid a factory reset (didn't want to lose Engadget, Diodict apps and game saves) so I gave it a go (deleted videos too) and it worked first try .
Could be pure luck but if you don't want to hard reset it's worth a shot .
Stupid Pice of $#!T phone!!!
I've done the above, received the same results, followed every 'tip' and still get the C1010007 error. I THOUGHT the above mention of deleting EVERYTHING on the phone would help, so I deleted everything and still the same error ... except ... this time it got to 71% of the backup whereas before it always stopped at 68% before it crapped out.
I uninstalled all the applications I had on the phone and tried one last time. Now, the phone goes through the process and only gets to about 55% then $#!ts the bed.
Why is this so dang painful?!?!?! I might as well hard reset at this point. I have a feeling that won't matter and I'll still get this same error.
I have the LG Quantum from at&t and I have to factory reset and still cant update my phone!!! any suggestions?????

Hmm... is zune marketplace down?

First time I've had issues with it. It will let me get to the point where I select try or buy but then when I go to verify it just continuously loads. I tried afterwards on the PC and it just says none of the above items are available for purchase. This was initially found on the moron test but I am having the same issue occur with all apps.
I had that happen about a week ago on the weekend. Come Monday, the market started working again.

Neither could I. And some of the apps were paid apps that needed updating. It was quite annoying. But I was glad to see it working again come that Monday, without the need to do a hard reset.
yup, having that issue here too, i think it's tied to either your account, or your location... not quite sure why tho...
I have had issue with market place a couple of times. Mostly the update won't succeed and I'll need to delete the app then install it again.
Having the same problem here to. Can't update or download apps (sweden).
I'm having the same problem on the phone and trying to install from the Zune PC marketplace.
Me too
yes, same in Dalian China from 19th Mar.
I tried to install apps from Zune on my PC but got error "None of the selected items is available for purchase". Anyway it worked well before. And then I tried to install using marketplace on my Focus but got another error "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Some Chinese uses got same error, but some can still download/install apps from marketplace. So it's very strange issue. Is it related to my live id?
Anyone can help on this? I only found US ZUNE support number but I cannot dial.

Just wait a day. Monday will bring it back to normal. It effects users at different times. MS might be doing some kind of tuning to the market to help refine it. At least that's what I rationalize it to be.
It's working this morning, I was able to download a few free apps and buy some songs without any issues.
I still have the Problem, and also never got that pre-nodo update... Truly sucks...

I have a Samusung Update for Windows Phone today...

I am using the Focus and I used the Cheveronupdate tool like as soon as it came out, I have just done a 3min search to see what this update does for the focus. Has anyone else had this occur recently?
And the Update PR stunt (note)
I guess the generic MS saying it will prevent your phone from updating is now proven false as well, granted I don't know if this update has done anything yet since I am on step 7 of it creating a backup file.
ATT Focus
I also used the Chevron Updater and updated to 7390. I received a notification via Zune for the standard update last night and tried to update. Went through all steps and then I got an error 80180005 for which I could find no explanation, but the update failed. I then plugged my USB cable to the back USB ports on my laptop and the installation succeeded and changed the bootloader number, firmware and radio software numbers. These numbers were NOT CHANGED with the NoDo update from the CXhevron Updater method.
This is the Samsung firmware update.
I also unlocked my phone using Chevron to update to NOdO weeks ago but am yet to see the samsung firmware update.

well mine went through
without a hitch yes OS revision numbers didn't change and I am not sure about firmware. Can't tell you that I see any difference right now.
capacitive buttons should be less sensitive, and dont work if you press the screen on a different place at the same time (for gaming or video playback etc, accidently hitting back button, it should be disabled now)
camera should auto default to anti-shake setting ON.
screen should be responsive even on a soft surface (pillow)
this is what I read, not sure, can people confirm this? Is this also for the omnia7? Mine is at the store for repair but these things were some annoying things and will be nice if they are fixed on the omnia as well.

Zune can't connect to my phone on Windows 8

Hi,
I've just installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview and then installed Zune.
Now, when I plug my phone Zune says:
CONNECTION ERROR
Can't connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it, then try connecting again.
I tried these solutions but with no luck: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...ur-phone/a114fabb-c1df-4204-9520-eb76ff40660d
I have an Omnia 7 with mi7ROM.
Thanks in advance
Revert back to Windows 7
I heard somewhere that you have to install the whole Zune package manually and that it's a pain to do so, I will look it up and post it as soon as I can find it.
I have just done a fresh install of Windows 8 CP, everything is working lovely and smooth except Zune for Windows Phone. I have installed Zune but every time I attach my phone I get the error that it "Can't connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it, then try connecting again".
I have tried this multiple times, also I have reinstalled Zune, searched Microsoft support (there are a number of people with the same error in Windows 7, but the certificates that Microsoft talk about don't exist on this installation).
I had no problem with it in the DP.

I just remembered that Windows 8 is going to do away with Zune, this might have something to do with it.

Known problem. Sorry if already posted. Had same thing. Has to do with leap day. Ms acknowledged problem. Happens on win7 as well if you do a fresh or new phone connection to Zune. Put system a day forward to March 1 and it will work. You can the revert back to current date.
Hello All,
We're currently having success in resolving this issue by altering the date on a PC to March 1st, 2012.
Once the date has been changed, close the Zune Software and disconnect the Phone, then go ahead and reconnect the Phone and the Zune Software should start automatically. If not, go ahead and start the Zune Software as normal.
Ideally, the Phone should be detected and you may have to go through the process of naming the Phone and checking for updates again.
Right now, this is just a workaround, however.
Kind Regards,
Matthew N.

Well, I got my HTC titan yesterday and have this connection issue.. I spent almost 9 straight hrs searching thru the web and tried all possible solutions.. Even those that seems ridiculous... None worked...tried fresh install of zune, different computers, reset my phone countless times... Worst is that the delete cert method cause my omnia 7 to stop working altogether.. Darn!.. Gave up and went to bed after midnight a sad sad man..
Interestingly, this morning, everything work!! Coincidentally, todays 1st march...
Not sure what happened, made me think that it could be Zune need to settle for a while.. But, I am a happy man today!
Mine is working relatively well, for the most part. Zune seems to detect it just fine until my phone goes to the lock screen, at which point I have to unplug and reconnect it. Aside from the it seems to work perfectly.
Now, the Windows Phone Emulator doesn't work at all.
I had same issue, HTC Titan. And I did all, reinstall, reset etc Zune and Phone. But after reflash my phone with firmware:"You can find HTC Titan, firmwares in HTC Titan Section." all worked.

Supposedly they are trying to come up with a new Music Player that goes across all Windows devices and they are actually thinking about doing away with Zune, I know that apps will now be available via a app store kind of like on Android instead of Zune.

Question Quick Switch Adapter

Can anyone tell me details of what can be transferred from an old phone to a new P6P using the provided quick switch adapter? Can it transfer all apps and their data or only the ones with Google backup capability?
Thanks in advance!
The "ordinary" transfer won't restore your app settings, like your passwords/logins/in-app data.
Google One Backup is supposed to do that, even though it never worked for me. In the end I had to use swiftbackup whilst having root to have a decent backup/transfer experience.
--
There is some sort of auto-login system that some apps support, so Google logs you in automatically into the app once you first open them after transfering all your stuff, but that has nothing to do with the transfer/backup. Sadly, only very few apps support that.

Thank you, that's what I was afraid of. I can't believe that Google doesn't want to create a proper backup or transfer solution. So bad. I guess SwiftBackup it is...

Been into android since the T-Mobile G1 days and I'm a firm believer in setting up a new phone from scratch. Did my wifes from her OnePlus 7 Pro and the screen would freeze every 4-6 hors. Did a FDR and it's been running great for the last 3 days. Your always going to get bits and pieces from the last OS that don't belong on your new OS when transferring from another phone.

This makes more and more sense now a days!
Google wants to sell the cloud as much as possible. I restore GoogleOne backups from the cloud and I'm usually satisfied with the results.
I used to start from scratch but I stopped at some point several years ago. I just want my phone to work the way I'm used to. I don't use the stock launcher anyway, I use Nova Launcher Prime. Later on, I integrate elements from the new Android version and widgets/capabilities into my current Nova setup.
I never used the quick switch adapter and Google's transfer tool. I always root my phone and use Titanium Backup to restore my apps. Although, on Android 12, I think I'm gonna go for Swift Backup which I've heard good things about!
I'm still using my 4 XL for now, not sure if I want to jump on the 6 Pro with an unofficial alpha version of Magisk :/

I'd advise you to wait at least for the first or second rollout of bug fixes if you are keen on root, as of now there are a lot of software quirks that might be firmware related; if you root now, upgrading to the next monthly update might be a nightmare. As far as I can see right now, every successful root requires a full factory reset (not the bootloader unlock reset!). And every "update" will aswell (maybe the community will find a way around that, but we don't know right now).

100% on board with this. Whenever I clean flash (new phone or new OS update) I start from scratch. Download or sideload all my apps anew. Takes several hours to set up but well worth it in the long run.

Yeah, I've been reading as much as I can about root and it's not super fun right now. It remains to be seen if we can update monthly without wiping. Otherwise, that would be a MAJOR pita.
I'm gonna be traveling in about 2 weeks and I was hoping to bring my 6 Pro with me. My 4 XL is perfectly fine but not sure the battery will last while traveling. We'll see.
