According to sources from The Netherlands, the Nokia's will get an update today:
http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-lumia-800-getting-an-update-tomorrow/
I'd really like to get my hands on that update package. So I'd appreciate it if you can grab the update and post it here. It's not difficult. Here are instructions:
1. When your device or zune reports an update: WAIT! DON'T UPDATE YET! First a little preparation!
2. Download Wireshark, install it and run it.
3. In the options make sure you have Promiscuous Mode enabled (Edit -> Preferences -> Capture)
4. Click on the network interface that has your connection to the internet. That will start a trace.
5. In the "Filter" in the toolbar enter this: http.request
6. Click on "Apply"
7. Now start the update of the phone with Zune.
8. When it's done, you can click "Stop capture" in the toolbar.
9. Then File -> Save as to save the capture as a file.
10. Post the captured file here or if it's too big, mail it to me (ask for my mail-address in PM plz).
Thanks a lot!

Anything that could help the hacker community! I'll try that if there's an update and send you the file.
p.s am still on 7720 as I didn't want to risk any chance of a 7720 interop-unlock
According to folks on Twitter, some users already have the 7.10.7740.16 update installed. Unfortunately there is no Update for me avalable. I will try to capture the update, when I get prompted for.

I'm not referring to the 7.10.7740.16 update. That's just the normal Microsoft update. I'm referring to an update from Nokia! But it could be that the update will only be available if you have 7.10.7740.16 installed. I'm not sure.
Ah I see. You mean the Update provided by Nokia only for Nokia devices which updates the nokia specific firmware for the battery update and tethering? I deduced from the last integrated HTC update, that the Nokia Update will also be part of the MS OS Update to version .16.
Well, I hope that the WP7 Connector for Mac will also show me a dedicated Nokia Update. I will try to capture it then.

Great I'll have my eye on it. I've already been asked to update to 7740 but I'll hold back see if there's anything newer.
Or would you prefer to update to 7740 before the 'Nokia update'?

I don't care about the 7740 update. Also I don't think it makes any difference for Interop Unlock. But I can't be 100% sure about that.
But it is very well possible that you only get the Nokia update offered when you have the 7740 update installed. It won't offer you a choice of two updates. And the 7740 update was first, so I guess you should install it. Again, not 100% sure about these things.

This has already been addressed. It works if your dev device already had 7004 preinstalled. If you have a 7003 device, there is currently no possible way to upgrade.

Works well with my other Windows Phones so we can rule that one out. The Taylor always gave me this error so I'm guessing it's disabled on Microsoft's end. Any thoughts?
So.. as I'm sure everyone has read, there is an update that will "clean up" the beta provisioning and allow users to update with Microsoft's official servers. It's starting to roll out to the internal Microsoft crew that were apart of the Mango Friends and Family promotion (this is confirmed) and they are running 7720.68. They went through a different update process to 7720.68 than we did so there is something extra that those who are in that group have that we don't. With that said, Mango RTM is supposedly going official 9/27 for a lot of carriers. We need to keep a close contact together to see if all xda-upgraded 7720.68 users will be able to receive those updates that everyone else gets without having to do the unthinkable and downgrade to NoDo. Use this thread to post any findings and such.
Thanks,
Snickler

From what I hear, all the update does is point the phone back to the production Windows Update Server... if there's a way we can find where to change this (that's given that it's a registry stored entry and not a group of flat db files)

The only thing I hope is in Zune, it shows my 7720 phone as version 7.1, so maybe it will take "7.5" as a upgrade...
The word is my carrer releases it tomorrow, so I gues I will find out tomorrow, if it's true...

Have this on my Focus as well.
I have installed Windows 8 on my Notebook, this is why I have a fresh installation of Zune, does this mean I don't need the cleanup update, because Zune points to the default update server anyhow?
Has something been manipulated on the device as well?
I'm on Mango RTM btw.
First: you are on RTM so you are not receiving the cleanup update, most probably you will have to revert back to nodo or flash your phone back to his original firmware before getting official mango.
Second: never ever use a beta OS to perform a phone update, it's a damn firmware flash, it's not toy!
This guy got the cleanup update on RTM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17866961&postcount=1
You are probably right regarding Win8, I'll use m GF's PC.
wait, in the post he didn't specified it was the cleanup update, it is possible it is just a firmware update from LG to update drivers for Mango
He thinks it's a cleanup update though.
Anyhow, it would be enough for most users if OEMs would just update the drivers, because the missing compass driver is my main concern with Mango RTM.
I guess that everybody will receive firmware update, since it's a completely different and independent thing from the OS
This update is not showing for me? I am running Mango myself I am currently on the official Microsoft RTM version 7720. I am not on the official HTC 7720
Do you think I will get the update or have to play with zune or phone registry to do so?
this post states even RTM users should receive it: http://windowsphonehacker.com/artic..._and_family_bundle_precleanup_update-09-26-11

I'm prepared to roll back to NoDo. What I will do is if I see some confirmed updates today, I'll go to NoDo and try to use fiddler or something to capture the binaries.
Well if not surely someone will make another provision to point us right way? As the one that took Us from beta refresh 2 to leaked Microsoft rtm
Sent from Ant's HTC 7 Mozart using XDA Windows Phone 7 App.
Hi All,
This may be relevant (or not), but I've been running the leaked RTM 7720 on my HTC Mozart.
I was having a couple of little niggles, so I thought I'd reset the phone (which I haven't done since I originally got it on 7004).
Just for interest sake I've done all upgrades from original up to the Mango beta 7712 as someone I know has a developer account, before applying the 7720 RTM.
Not long after I rebooted my phone and connected to Zune I got a popup saying there was a HTC firmware upgrade available. I heard this was available but had never been offered this update previously.
Again, not sure if this means anything or if resetting the phone 'resets' the update server location but I thought I'd put it out there.
Thanks

Hi Ansar,
As per Heathcliff74 there are 4 unlock need for mango 7.5 update
1. Developer-unlock/ChevronWP7 unlock:
2. Interop-unlock
3. FullUnlock:
4. Full Root Access:
I have NoDo version with ChevronWP7 unlock.
If I update to official Mango 7.5 (Samsung focus ATT) through Zune, the above 4 unlock automatically apply? Or I need to prepare for any hack before I update to 7.5
Thanks

yes you have to run through those methods listed in order to become interop unlocked. Also yes you have to interop unlocked to install wp7 root tools 0.7. The unlock process I've outlined in the post will set you up. Make sure you run through those first 4 steps in order. Once you update to mango, do step #5. You can then deploy root tools 0.7

Zune Version
I am having trouble getting Zune updated. When I initially went to the link in the first post, it showed a version of Zune @210mb which I started downloading. I turned my head and the download disappeared and now it shows version of 100mb only. The version I'm running is 04.08.2345.00 which does not recognize my Focus running RTM, but does see a Venue Pro running Nodo. It was installed, by Windows Update I assume, after I did RTM. It was just the opposite when I first upgraded to RTM. Thoughts?

you have to put the cabs in the same folder as the bat file of the cab sender - and dont execute the bat with admin-rights or the installation will fail
Hi, thanks however I have tried the force update method several times as well as ensuring all the cabs are in as per the manual update instructions including ensuring the right language packs are there but still get exactly the same error as before.. no applicable packages... guess I'll have to give up for the time being and try again in a couple of weeks or so...
What has 80072FA8 error or just no update found!
On this time I tried a long time update with disconnect trick. But... no updates.
NOW... from FIRST time update was found!
Solution:
yeah... first of all good things happen to UK. So we will use UK proxy.
Go to Settings - mobile network , then edit apn. In "APN, Username, Password" I typed my provider settings. In "Proxy server/URL" type 109.169.40.229 and in "Proxy port" type 8080. Here Done.
Next step: in computer STILL connected internet, in phone wifi is disconnected.
And last step: in Zune click update. Waiting about ~2 minutes, because proxy is very slow.
Result:
Thanks for UK proxy :laugh:
My LG Optimus 7 now has 7.8 thanks to the disconnection method. Now Office won't work anymore =\
i keep getting an error saying it cant search for an update, i tried two different computers, no luck, i tried the force update by switching off wifi, still no luck. Can someone help? thanks

Its already available. You can find it in the app store. I started with the installer at preview.windows.com then completed with the file in the app store. I however don't get to enjoy it because upon install, It restarted with a bcd error I am currently trying to resolve. Best of luck

Sorry, I can only speak from the US side of this. It was on the first page of my app store when the BUILD presentation started this morning.

Note the language/region requirements http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/download-preview
Ah. It appears that no matter what I change, the default UI language will always report as EN-GB, hence I suspect no update for me until I find a charger and completely refresh as EN-US.
You can check your default UI language by running dism /online /get-intl at elevated command line
When I try to install it on my Asus Vivotab RT, it looks like it is installing and when it gets to checking for compatibility, I get an error saying cannot install as I need to update drivers/firmware and to go to windows update to get the latest updates. When I do so it says there are no updates and it is up to date. Any clue?

Yes but I thought if you change your system locale it should be fine. I managed to download it from the store and it installed about 75% before I got the error.

They depend it on the original base language of your windows copy when you first installed it (eg. setup language). Although users with EN-GB languages are still safe, you just need to download the US language pack and setting it as default, and then change the value of InstallLanguage string in registry editor from 0809 to 0409.

It seems that the this issue is resolved - you need to make a hard reset of the system or restore the system without deleting your personal data. I chose the second, reinstalled all the updates and the system accepted installation of 8.1. Good luck!
