is Microsoft Policies about updating still live? - Windows Phone 7 General

I remember about Microsoft Policies for all the carriers about updating Windows Phone that they can skip one update but they CAN'T skip the next one. So why AT&T could skip both 7740 and 8107?
I am wondering since my AT&T Titan would still in 7720 forever if i don't do the update by sending the .CAB
BTW, anyone here know what the update 8112.7 is? i just received my new Titan 2 and that is the OS build that i have.

NoDo is not = NoDo !!

hi everybody...
my Phone: T-Mobile DE Mozart 16GB 7004
in the early days of nodo update rolling out i debranded my mozart with htc europe firmware and flashed the nodo rom 7389 (bootloader 1.30). shortly after that zune told me i could update to 7390
while not many people speak about that,
it had some awesome feature updates for the mozart
first of: Stabilizer and Auto-Focus for the Camera
and some more or less important HTC Color Theme (Green)
it also had a bug were gradient colors gets reduced to like 16bit
now this was the HTC Europe ROM
so i wanted to jailbreak my phone
i had to flash back tmobile rom since i dont have sd card reader for goldcard use
the workaround to debrand my phone with htc europe didnt work for earlier roms, only the nodo one... so i got back to tmobile 7004 (bootloader 1.25)
i forced the nodo update by chevronWP7updater by chriswalsh.
it didnt update the bootloader!
ive checked for c&p, its there.
htc theme gone, okay tmobile may remove it...
but why is there no Autofocus on my Camera now?
the cam is back to crap, only joy with this nodo is that its jailbreaked :/
NoDo from Microsoft is only an OS upgrade. The features you described sound like a device specific firmware update which is not part of OS upgrade but rather should be a separate ROM upgrade if T-Mo is willing to push it out.

I did not.
Custom accent colors, Zune SmartDJ modifications, ..., even the Interop Unlock is still present.
My father has the same phone as I do, unlocked the same way and also running most of the modifications I have on my own phone.
There is no update avaible for him.
Thanks. I just hope that this update fixes color banding on my Omnia..
What a nice birthday gift!
No update for me though... unbranded UK CSC...
nothing for H3G
Guys, i own an unbranded omnia 7 and my firmware is still 2424.11.8.2, i wonder if i should try to push the firmware manually or it's just as it should be ..

I looked into it in WP Bench, the issue is still present.
If you have got a developer unlocked device, you can fix the issue yourself within 2 minutes.
To the rest: No update message for my second Omnia 7. I'll try to answer all questions and will let you know whenever I see an update popup.
Yes, I've Interpop unlocked my phone, but it is on Mango. There is no fix, as I know for Mango, only for NoDo.
Weird......
Ive got a Mozart and Titan.
Mozart is branded UK Orange, The Titan is unbranded.
Both have had an update through Zune in tha last 20 minutes or so.......
The Mozart is 7740.16, My Titan is still 7720.68
No internet sharing on Mozart.....
My Samsung Omnia 7 Device got an Update too. But i dont have any information about the Changelog - in Zune there is no such Updateinformation.
Strange...
no update for LG c-900b
in fact still waiting for tethering drivers update...
I wonder if this update also fixes the disappearing keyboard issue.
Zunes starts updating, phone reboots, aaaaaannnnnd:

Samsung Omnia 7, Orange UK, fw 0222.11.8.5, bl 5.8.1.9, not unlocked.
Has anyone else experienced a similar error?
same here, orange aswell.. but Im living in Brazil..
dunno if it's related but i've used the samsung firmware updater =[
Few minutes ago installed same update to LG Optimus 7 via Zune.
here in austria, my devices have no updates. omnia 7 and optimus 7. both unbranded ...
Country: England, Network: T-Mobile, Device: Samsung Omnia7
Unbranded 000-88 -> No Zune Update
Samsung Omnia7 T-Mobile UK TMO-GB (via Regedit) -> Zune update for 7.10.7740.16
BUT update fails, as I had used WP7 cab sender to force SFR-FR KI3 firmware.
I think flashing cabs halts the Zune update path.
I think I'll flash a preNoDo branded TMU Rom very shortly and update all the way via Zune. Damn branded is the way to go :-/
just to add a little piece of information: no updates for htc mazaa available
HI
now been updated
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19430778&postcount=53
ya, I think the samsung SFR-FR KI3 thing f*ked up our updates u.u
- update the firmware using SFR-FR KI3
- connected to macintosh wp7 utility - no updates
- connect to zune (via bootcamp) - new update = FAILED
- phone reset
- macintosh utility wp7 - no updates again
- zune - no updates
Tried to use the Windows Support Tool, by setting my device into recovery mode, but the freakin tool didnt recognize
same thing with my friend's omnia, which is basically the same: Orange uk, SFR-FR KI3, 7720
and they say android is fragmented ._.

Could you list out specs in settings\about
i think his update is the 8107. tango will be released in june...
The update was pushed by HTC to both Mozart and HD7 this weekend. It upgrades the bootloader. OS version unchanged. No new features. Probably a prerequisite to upcoming Tango OS update is my best guess.
Cheers

Lumia 900 Refurbish

Hey all,
I really hate to make a new thread but since my post count is lower than 10 I wasn't able to reply to a relevant thread in the dev forum.
I have the latest Nokia care suite installed and am running the last official update from AT&T. I have flashed a few phones with care suite, so i have some experience, but I have a question. When I run either multi software update or product support tool, they pick my phone up correctly as a black at&t lumia 900 and tell me thr software is out of date. They both show the version with numbers matching those recently uploaded on navifirm. I assume care suite is looking at the same repositories these navifirm on nokias servers. If i am thinking about this correctly, I should only have to hit refurbish to install the software in the same manner as downloading the firmware manually through navifirm then flashing it with care suite.
Am I correct in my thinking? Would the results be the same? If not, what would be the potential differences or problems I would encounter?

Lumia 550 update

Hello ! Any way to get my Lumia 550 straight to FCU starting from 10586.494? I mean skipping the two steps in the middle (AU and CU). There could be a way using Over the Cable Updater or is there the firmware itself somewhere in the web which I can flash?

Windows 10 Mobile has no planned feature updates past FCU. The latest build should be 15254. Last I checked, the Lumia 550 continues to be supported thru the end of this year. In April, all users running build 15063 were bumped to 15063.1029. My Lumia 830 received that update (despite being shut out of the feature2 branch). You should check for that update first. It would be best to avoid that update on a metered connection.

Yes I know that. I was looking for a way to avoid to get through the annoying process of update from the old November Update (because I had to recover my Lumia with WDRT) and jump straight to FCU. So flashing some FCU firmware or other ways...

There is no way unless you would have someone to dump a custom ROM supporting your device from the 550 somewhere at like version 15063.297 at least or another later supported version if possible. You could always attempt to dump one your self in the event you have to completely Reset with WDRT on that device in the future. But that is up to you...You would need to read up on the Window Phone internals tool and create a custom rom that way.
edit: Actually I just looked and seems certain variants of the 550 have FW revisions all the way up to OS 10.0.10586.494. If you want further than that a custom rom is the only option.
