I hear a lot of contradictions about whether or not unlocked Samsung phones not being used on their original network are prompted for updates. In my case I have a branded AT&T Focus on Bell Canada's network. So far, no prompts on the phone and Zune tells me 7004 is the current phone software version.
Have you been prompted so far?
Thanks in advance.

I have a developer unlocked omnia 7 on orange in the uk and i got the update the day it came out, through zune software

im on the same boat.
but iirc some people said it could take weeks to get the update, and since they paused because of the issues with samsung phones idk if we are screwed or we just have to wait.
I've got an unlocked, unbranded Omnia 7 on dutch Telfort.
I didn't get a prompt on my phone, but when I tried manually trough the Zune software I directly got it.
same here. no updates so far. hope i get nodo, i dont care about feb useless update =\
The Answer
I can officially confirm that until you perform the following hack on your unlocked Focus, you will not be prompted for an upgrade.
As soon as I did this hack, rebooted and connected to Zune I was instantly prompted for Pre NoDo.

When you do the registry hack and unbrand it, you should get a pop-up/over the air notification on your phone that there is an update. Mine did.

came to post the same.
after unbranding got the pre nodo too.
at 2200 gtm tonight i got a update message on my hd7 nothing strange in that you might think but hang on i forced the update last night using the chevron7 updater hand had nodo on my device
ive just updated my hd7 with the official update now so it looks like the m$ scare mongering was all a bluff so has any one else had this update message from there carrier i think its interesting that the the update notification came through after id forced and applied the update
the os version is 7.07390.0 and it has copy and paste
I forced the nodo update unofficially a couple of days ago. Last night I got an "official" notification of an HTC update for my phone (Mozart on Orange, UK) which I'm applying now over the top...
Hey everybody,
I have an LG optimus 7 on TELUS that is running the leaked RTM. I just checked, and now the update is available. It was unclear if the leaked RTM would update. before i hit the go button.
anything i should do?
fiddler2 or something for cabs.... im not sure but want to make sure i giv devs a chance to get anything they might want.. im not sure how to do this on my own, im great at following directions tho.
*edit*
its called "LG update for windows phone" Im not really sure which update this is. because i don't remember it
*edit*
saved my fiddler2 session if anyone wants it. update went fine. i dont really notice any changes?
I got the same notification of an HTC update for Windows Phone....
I tried to update but got the error code 801811A3
I'm going to uninstall zune and try a fresh install.
Edit: HD7 on Tmobile - Leaked RTM
Edit 2: It's our firewall at work. Go figure. Time to find a workaround for this.
Also, the release page from microsoft for the mango 7.5 release is updated to deploying on all carriers today.
I got thesame for HTC. Mine succeeded and now does not show any further updates... I have checked but... I don't see a difference on my phone...
For those with the Arrive... on the ABOUT option, before the update... is there any information on the "help contacts" part for SPRINT?
Just wondering if this information was there with the leaked RTM...
I have RTM, just got the update notification aswell.
Zune is at stp 6 out of 10 atm.
It failed to reconnect at step 6, so I unplugge the phone and rebooted it, zhile the HTC screen showed I connected the USB cable and it resumed
well.. im not sure if im doing this at all right. installed fiddler2. its running
and im doing the update. so far so good 7 of 10. creating backup.
im guessing everyone who posted so far is carrier unlocked?
maybe be the reason we are seeing the update. even tho we have leaked mango.
almost done, phone is restarting.
Had 7720.68 Leaked RTM, upgraded to Mango carrier release fine.... No issues (besides losing 3G service)
And Walsh tweeted it
Caught it on the web and I immediately took my fedora hdd out of my systems an popped in my win7
I also had the update message and updated via zune. Zune always shows version 7.1, is this OK?
Should i revert to NODO and update again via zune?
Or i'm done?
I have an open/unlocked OMNIA7.

I was on 7712 beta and updated through Zune to official 7720.
Before update I was unlocked and I stayed unlocked after the update.
I was on the leaked RTM and got the HTC Update for my Arrive. The only thing that worries me even though this looks like a fully Sprint branded update (as seen from the new support stuff in the About screen) is that it did nothing to remove the "provision" part of the update as talked about in the Windows Phone Blog for updating from 7012. If the move to RTM from 7012 fixed it already, then I am not worries, but if so, us early RTM adopters may just have to jump back to NoDo (since I didn't force an update before going leaked RTM) and get the official updates through that method.
One thing I did notice is I did get various little updates this summer while on the Mango Beta, so device specific updates may have already been done or no others may have been released for the Arrive till today. Hmm.
I just wish they would get the MyPhone ability to backup SMS messages so I can do a clean wipe and not loose every convo I have had (not important generally, but I like to keep them around.)

To All,
The LG, Samsung, and HTC Updates are just firmware updates.. Those aren't the cleanup updates or the Official Mango updates.
I've actually received the Samsung Update whenever I updated to 7720 leaked a month and a half ago. All it did was update the firmware and give me a new diagnosis app.

Nah, I got the HTC Arrive from SPRINT... had the 7712 DEV PREVIEW and when RTM was leaked I jumped into it... So I have been on 7720.68 all along... I still received an update via Zune but it was an HTC DEVICE update... no actual MICROSOFT update...

I received a samsung firmware update straight after going to rtm, and just now I got another firmware update, but unfortunately it does not do much. My camera button is now disabled for quicklaunch (even though the setting is on :S) also the AllShare app still does not work.
I do think Ill have to flash back since zune now says up to date.
Guys, I'm on Telus with unbranded Optimus 7 phone running on RTM mango. I also got the update a few minutes ago by going into Zune and checking for updates. But this is not the mango update. But, all is not loos, this a was a pretty good firmware update. You see, I had installed the mango compass app a couple weeks ago and it was not working on my Optimus 7. After verifying all the forums, the necessary drivers were not on my ROM or any other ROM for that matter of fact. After the update, guess what? My compass application works great! I would assume that this update, updates all necessary drivers for Mango API's compatibility.
Now what I'm wondering is since I now have an Optimus "compatible" mango... Should I still try to get the latest Mango build being deployed today? Will I get hidden Wifi? Will I get WIFI hotspot?
Regards!

Flash back to 7712 do the 7720 update through zune.. See if you get the cleanup tool. If you get that Cleanup tool, use fiddler and get the update cabs and post the links.

I didn't get an update after updating to the RTM leak, but I did get one today. Hidden Wifi is there now, Camera focus is working now in Bing Vision, and the Camera Button still works.
AllShare and AdvancedTextMessage from Samsung still don't work.

Oke than I assume the update is just to the final mango and allshare is just not supported on Omnia7??
Camera thing is weird I changed the settings but seems to not do anything. Where can I test hidden WIFI?
EDIT:
hidden WiFi is there indeed. Camera button still works, it just takes 2 times as long and I am inpatient apparantly seems like the real deal, full mango...

I have a HTC HD7 on O2 in the UK and i'm on the OS 7.0.7401.0 and every time i plug my phone into zune it says my phone is up to date! should i flash a custom rom or is the update not out for me yet? ive spoke to o2 and they said it was sospose to be out on the 14th for, but it isnt...
Help please!
I believe Microsoft is progressively rolling out the Mango update, so not everyone has it yet. There is a way you can force the update legitimately through Zune however.
Google "force Mango update" and the first link should be WPCentral where instructions are there. I'd link you, but since I'm new I can't.
Folllow those directions. It isn't gauranteed to work, it didn't work for me.
I received the update information today afternoon,and finish it just now.NO big improvements,maybe some changes on details.
Do you get the update?
Model:Samsung OMNIA7
Location:China

I belive they make changes in Microsoft Exchange Sever (Email services) ,also fixed the Notifications status errors and someother stuffs.
HTC Titan UK, have just updated.
I've just been pushed the 7740 update to my 7 Pro, nothing particularly major.
I'm praying that it fixes the live tile and artist pictures on Zune though, the live tile has been stuck for weeks now and it seems to have lost all the artist pictures from stuff I bought from the phone!
Nice to see.
I have a Samsung Focus, but havent resived any update!!! any ideas?
Am just updating my Nokia Lumia 800 (on orange Uk) now to 7740.16. In the blurb just say it's fixing an email issue with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003
...got it too..............
Updated. Didnt feel anything faster. For me, useless update
Thanks for the info.. I also got the notification on my phone but I don't even care to upgrade to this version.. Coz I don't want to go through all that 3 hours of 'backup' as Microsoft likes to call it, which basically backs up nothing.

Heh, I updated yesterday and now my Internet is barely working, weather is on wi-fi or 3g. Lucky me! I've been meaning to factory reset this phone for quite some time since it has been giving me problems updating and downloading some apps on the marketplace, plus I can't download podcasts at all, yet can stream them.
I got the update on my LG Optimus 7. Didnt do it as I was feeling lazy. It supposedly brings two changes on O7(Activesync message forward issue and some Voicemail issue)
Didnt get the update on my Samsung Focus.
could not update to 7.10.7740
how can i update my half bricked hd7?
