7740 on ATT - Windows Phone 7 General

Well I have 2 Samsung Focus (1st gen) , both dev unlocked , interop unlocked , except they had different firmware revisions , my phone i dont remember what the one on my wifes was , but her phone didnt sync with zune , so I changed the settings via diag , rebooted and it found the 7740 update immediately and installed it!
My phone has this FW 2103.11.8.1 (both phones had OS 7.10.7720.68) , my focus wont find the update , not sure exactly what the real difference is , i hear exchange is one ,maybe battery, , as fas ATT goes its there !
I wouldnt pester the ATT stores as they dont even know what a WP7 phone is , they only know what iphones are and its limited in that knowledge!
I could force update through cab sender but I dont think its anything of a real update
Her OS now reads:
OS:7.10.7740.16

LG Quantum here on ATT-US. They have not rolled out the 7740 update for us. I installed mine using heathcliff's method. My wife's still has 7720 and when I check for updates there aren't any. Typical ATT lameness.

Beta Update for LG GW910 (Panther)?

Hello! I've read that LG Panther have an update which supports copy/paste, but zune writes me that my phone is up to date (my current build is 7003). I've tried to change a region and tried to sign in using different accounts, but that was hopeless... Any opinion?

I've heard the same thing, and as far as I know, it's not going out via Zune (I've not got it, or seen it on either a Taylor or a Panther). I think we'll just have to wait...
Same here. My zune and phone both don't detect updates.

The update isn't there yet, but I suspect it'll go there before anywhere else.
i've searched in google about this and understood that zune must flash this update, but it haven't caused. I think a special version of zune exists (not 4.7).

I very much doubt you'll find an update, and I'm even more sceptical that it'll be on Zune. 4.7 is the latest version I know of, there might be some linking to Live IDs, or maybe only some devices/LiveIDs get the update.
Hello All,
I just wanted to chime in and say that I also have a GW910 and it also claims to be 100% up-to-date on version 7.0.7003.0
I just wondered if you lot all think that we will even get the update in 2011 at all.
Also... do any of you know what will happen regarding firmware updates (radio etc)?
I ask because I have a problem here in Luxembourg where my phone loses connection to HTTPS sites after a while. It can still connect to the internet but to anything related to HTTPS (SSL etc).
I know that it isn't a fault with the phone itself (Hardware) because it only happens when I am travelling around and my phone has to change between 3G and Edge quite often. It I stay at home, there is no problem at all.
Comments anyone??

I think we probably will get an update, there's not much point having developer hardware if we're developing on software that's out of date.
Radio updates etc I'm less sure about, my Taylor says the radio is from August, though the OS is much more recent.
That sounds like an issue with the general OS, and it may be being patched anyway, I'd see if you can submit that as a bug (via Connect) or via the on device feedback mechanism (can't remember how to access it, but I remember it being there).
According to this thread http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/t/77100.aspx, no dev phones will be updated.

You need NoDo in order to get Mango, so no. I still have my Panther, I'm just waiting on the next batch of hardware this fall so I can change over.
I found a copy of the ChevronWP7.Updater and was able to update my pre-release LG GW910 build 7004 to NoDo. After I did that I was able to install Mango beta 2.

Here is how I was able to get Mango installed on my pre-release developer phone (LG GW910).
NOTE: These directions are slightly modified to work as if you were starting from build 7004 (maybe 7003). After I the Chevron update I to install Mango beta 2 but received a 80180048 error. I used the backup that was created to get it back to the state just prior to the Mango update process.
The steps I took starting out with build 7004.
Run the ChevronWP7.Update twice to bring the phone up to build 7390 (NoDo)
Use the "Walshed" Phone support tool to put the device in a state where it can receive official updates - http://blog.walshie.me/walshed-phone-support-tool-official-fix-to-get-you-back-on-track
Be sure to follow the instructions and select ALL of the languages the keyboard supports.
Then following the Mango beta 2 installation instructions.
Mango beta 2 should install without any issues.
IMPORTANT: Uninstalling the Zune software will DELETE your backup. I created a RAR archive of the backup but kept it in the same folder and everything was wiped out.

Hello,
I have tried what you say, but sadly the ChevronWP7.unlocker doesn't seem to work.
I get the Black screen where is asks what language, and whatever I select the screen simply closes.
What OS did you use? Was it a 64bit OS or 32bit OS?
I want to try it again, but at the moment I am stuck.
Thanks
nebc100
P.S. would you be willing to send me a copy of the ChevronWP7.unlocker that you used?
If so PM me, and I will send you my e-mail address.

If you have tried it, disconnect your phone, reboot it, then connect it and wait for Windows to tell you the device has been correctly installed (if that hasn't happened yet). Then try ChevronWP7.Update again.
I used the 64-bit version. I'll find and post the link I used to download the app.

There seems to be a misunderstanding in your communication. It seems as if you had a Panther that already HAD 7004 loaded on to it, which allowed you to updated all the way to post-Nodo.
There is currently no way possible for the Chevron Updater to bring a 7003 Panther up to 7004. Useless Guy even opened up the source code and tried to force the program into update his device and it did not work.

I am sorry if I did not communicate that correctly. Yes, I started with a Panther which already had build 7004 on it.

Add to that that the update only seems to have changed the text in SW version from 7004 to 7008 - can't see any other changes yet and it's not looking good!
Its just an update to pave the way for the coming updates.
But I _think_ I got a new tilt-effect on the buttons when entering sim-pin on my Omnia 7.

Can't see anything different here either - with the minor exception that the power on button combination that used to take me to the upgrade mode (probably wrong term) now gives me the option to Format or Cancel...
Updated my Samsung Focus this morning
The only problem I had was after the update it said the battery was critically low (but I had charged it all night). A battery pull corrected it. Other than that, it was the pre-update update.

Easy Way of getting NoDo with Zune

I have HTC Surround on ATT and now have Unlocked NoDo. This is what I did and it's pretty simple.
1. Unlock your phone.
2. Debrand your phone.
3. Optional* install Prevent-ReLock App.
4. Turn off Data Connection
5. Turn on Wi-Fi
6. Connect device to Zune
7. This is important - Manually look on Zune for any updates - it will say February Update is availabe. Run that update.
8. After Feb. Update do not disconnect phone and Manually look on Zune for update again. March Update should show up. Run that update.
9. You are done
I can only say that this worked on my Surround, but I gotta believe that this should work for everyone if they follow these steps. This is a whole lot easier than trying to connect to some phone connection in Hungary.
I have heard from other members using different devices getting succesful results.
I did this on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit.
Please post your PC Specs, Device and Carrier when trying this.
Good luck and of course I'm not responsible for any damages.
Windows XP
For those of us with Samsung Focus and running Windows XP, unlocking and unbranding is the first hurdle. We need a solution that does not include Chevron, I believe.

You can only copy whole text messages, not small portions.

Was Data Connection turned off? Were you on Wifi? Did you try another Manual Update? I've gotten more successes on Samsung Focus then any other Devices. If you got Pre-NoDo you're definitely Unlocked and Debranded from ATT. Trying to root out causes.

Debranding is definitely a step that has to be taken. It is different from Unlocking. Please search XDA for Debranding WP7.

There seems to be an inconsistency in whether WiFi should be turned on or off. It worked for me having WiFi on, which makes sense that the Device would have an internet connection with out being on the Carrier's Network. Also, turning off the PC's Internet Connection doesn't make sense either. Probably needs more investigation.

Well, the update is there. Just check after sometime may be.
It brings some enhancements like you can attach images/videos to messages etc. and some other (undocumented) enhancements and tweaks.
i did't get any update in my OMNIA W till now.... Did anybody got the same?
Please tell me what is new in this update?
thanks in advance.
so..... the mobileoperator value in the registry should be something like 000-IN? Can you you give me your value in the registry? I will try to push the update with this registry hack
So I used the disconnect internet trick and got Tango to install on my phone. Problem is, it stopped with the 3 updates and did not install (or find) the Samsung one that I know was supposed to be installed (for firmware), so my firmware is now 2103.11.10.1 instead of what it is supposed to be.
Does anyone know a way to force the OEM firmware to be sent to Zune. The internet disconnect trick isn't work now, so I'm stuck. Also, my backups aren't showing up, even though during the update process it said it was creating a backup (for all the OS updates it installed all the way up to 8773).
If there is no way to get the OEM firmware to be pushed, does anyone know how to get the Focus Flash to stock? I know I have a backup on my computer, but Zune isn't recognizing it (I had forced 8107 on my phone, and Zune made a backup of that ROM).
When we get this update? there is nothing showing in zune or in phone yet.....
Is this update is available in India and for OMNIA W or not?

Turn Airplane mode on
Connect your Windows Phone to a PC and launch the Zune software
Click on Settings/Update. Allow the software to tell you whether an update is available. If so, skip this guide. If not continue to the next step.
Click the check for update button again, and this time immediately disconnect your computer from the internet. Do this by pulling the Ethernet cable, disabling Wi-Fi, etc.
Wait 30 seconds or so and you should receive a notification that an update is available.
Now reconnect to the internet and continue with the update process through the Zune software.

From what i have been told earlier some dealers root the phone because of missing local languages in the software. Don't know exactly who or what, but that's my experience with an older case i read about a while ago. That guy told me that it was pretty normal......i just find it strange !
The only thing you must check is what kind of warranty you are entitled to. Because HTC will now no longer support software problems on the phone. Only real hardware problems will fall under warranty. But that's also sometimes a what grey area.
We can get you back to full stock and updated to Jellybean if you wish ?
Edit : its imported from Switzerland ? Then they did this to add languages indeed.
Are you on orange provider too ???
Even my device is imported (Sealed) from Australia.. I'm from India.. So I don't have HTC warranty...
However, I have ebay seller warranty and he has said he will replace the device with no questions asked in case of hardware failure...
So, in your case as well... I think it's pretty much the same thing?? You don't have HTC warranty... but dealer warranty... You should have clarified this with your dealer...

firstly no i am in no way in orange i am in GP(local SP here)and i also dont know if it WAS ported from swiss
so umm does that mean that the device is not fake i mean its just weird that an intact device(they cut the HTC poly and seal in front of myself) has unlocked bootloader
also about the warrenty yes i clarified it with the dealer they said that there is no replacement warrenty but if any problem does come up in a year (hardware or software) they will fix it so does that mean i don't need to get refund...what do you guys think?
also there are other strange things in my phone for example the phone CID is orang216 so it should display switzerland in its region but instead its displaying arabic and saying that the device is htc_ara (via app device info)
also the dealer used a special steel tool to cut my mini sim into micro with one press lol(machine looked kinda odd )
also if your talking about localization then there is arabic fonts installed here but not our country language though
also did you notice my boot radio is none ????there was supposed to be something written on it huh?
SO my final guess is that the dealer himself imported it from arab htc and its selling here though why does it have an swiss CID instead of arab?
so i am the only one with out of the box unlocked bootloader version here???? AND also it means that HTC NOW won't care about my device huh??? :crying:
AND LASTLY since my bootloader is already unlocked do you think its best to directly switch to a custom JB rom then the OTA JB??? and if i do wanna switch to custom rom can give me tutorial from beginner level and all the precautions i have to take? (is it even possible for me to go to a custom JB from my stock ics and old 0.95 bootloader??)
MAN I NEVER SHOULDA BOUGHT HTC IN THE FIRST PLACE :crying: :crying:
A lot of people do buy unlocked HOXs, what you could do is relock it if its really bothering you. Run the correct RUU, from fast boot, and it will relock your phone and give the original software etc
Sent from my HTC One X TEGRA 3 using xda premium
Using CM10.1
yes after a while now and a lot of research i gound out it is common also the no radio was a problem with my hboot 0.95(its normal)
thanks for all the help this question is closed
Please mods close this thread
Wouldn't be complaining, saved you time. Also some have soft bricked thier phones in attempting to unlock.
One thing I'd be worried about, is your H-Boot. Thats low....

He has successfully updated his Hboot and has ARHD running now! He had created multiple threads.... so this can be locked!
Ahhh great.
Glad he's all sorted another one ticked off the list.
RUU is easiest HBOOT update method for anyone who happens to come across this thread with same issue.

Whoa man chill, One X is probably my Best Buy yet.. :good:
You could always relock your bootloader, install the stock ROM and get OTA updates...
And upgrade the HBOOT Please -.- even mine's already 1.36 :silly:
But still that's a surprise you get new One X with unlocked bootloader
You still can get dealer's warranty though...

True that!
However, for a person who is new to the world of rooting/upgrading and stuff and finds out his phone has been tampered with, it can be really frustrating!
Nwys, forum rules come before that! So.....
