Hint: Your phone must be unbranded or must have the "000-88" registry hack applied if branded ("registry unbranding"). Be sure you are running the latest version of Zune.
This should work for all retail WP7 devices! You should start this guide from OS version 7008! (This should be automatically installed on a [registry] unbranded phone)
"Force NoDo" (March 2011) WP7 Update Guide:
Solution 1: Using your regular internet connection (Credits go to user Noticed) (Give him a Thanks here)
1. Start Zune.
__________________________________________________
2. Turn off data connection and Wi-Fi on the Phone.
__________________________________________________
3. Connect the Phone to the PC (USB).
__________________________________________________
4. Manually search for an update within Zune. ("Settings" > "Phone" > "Update")
__________________________________________________
Important step 5.:
About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet. (Turn WLAN/Ethernet off)
__________________________________________________
6. The Update shows up!
__________________________________________________
7. Reconnect to the internet and install the update.
__________________________________________________
If it doesn't work try again starting from step 4 and vary the time you disonnect.
Solution 2: Using a VPN dialup connection
1. Download USAIP.pbk from here, then open it and connect to EUROIP PPTP Hungary
with
USERNAME: demo
PASSWORD: demo
(This connection is automatically closed after 7 minutes! Check your firewall, if you have problems to connect!)
(If "Network Connections" doesn't open, apply the registry entry from here and reboot your PC)
and connect your phone to the PC by USB.
__________________________________________________
2. Disable Wi-Fi (WLAN) in your phone, but be shure that airplane mode is off and that in "Settings" > "phone update" both checkboxes are checked.
__________________________________________________
3. Start Zune (if not already started) and keep it running all the time.
__________________________________________________
4. Switch to cellular settings on the phone.
__________________________________________________
5. Manually search for an update within Zune. ("Settings" > "Phone" > "Update")
__________________________________________________
Important step 6.:
After a few seconds (about 10-15 seconds for me, but this could vary from 5 seconds to almost one minute!) disable data connection on the already opened settings tab on your phone.
For the right timing utilize the timing trick mentioned below.
--> The update shows up!
(You can now terminate the connection and download the update using your "normal" internet connection)
If it doesn't work (cognizable by the fact that you get a time out error) retry steps 5 and 6 and vary the time until you manually disable the data connection! (step 6)
Users report this tutorial works with WIFI! So if you aren't successful try to use your phone's WIFI connection instead of your cellular data connection (be sure to set the cellular data connection off this time).
(Thanks goes to vi3txlifv, mikmik111 and kapanak)
A trick to get the right timing (thanks Hardmen):
Get a stopwatch and stop the time until you get the Zune update time out. Subtract 0.5 to 1 seconds and that's the time you have to shut off the data connection.
Here is a nice video demonstrating the whole process. (watch after 3:00min) :

Enjoy your phone!

Even Paul Thurrott uses this method!
Okay.. where is the download?
Edit:
Nevermind. Found it. Thought it was some kind of private file.
I'll try and report
It's [http: //] usaip.eu/en/USAIP.pbk .
Sorry I'm not able to post links at the moment, because of my posting status! :-(
is this for all phones? I have an AT&T Focus (unbranded)
open with which program? nothing associated with pbk files on mine

Yes, this works for all phones!
You got this working on a Focus???
Concerns
If you have had phone or carrier specific issues that might be addressed in a carrier update I would urge some caution. There may be some OEM updates in the ATT version that may not be included using this method, I suspect.

No surprises here, didn't work on my Panther.

I tried earlier waiting various different times for data off part, no luck I give up. I rebranded my phone back to Rogers because I don't see them holding back NoDo, they are listed as scheduling on the MS chart. If Telus is starting the 29th hopefully Rogers is too.

Dear Xda,
I really need some help:
Here is the situation, my Smartwatch 2 started freaking out after the previous update. (locking up, random reboots)
Now none of my apps work, I can access settings, go to reset, but it wont let me click confirm.
Also I cannot set it to pairing mode to link it to another phone.
Even NFC pairing does not work with another phone.
It still does connect to my current phone, I tried repairing my phone, but now apps show up multiple times.
The software is pretty much FUBAR.
I hoped the new update would reset the memory, but to no avail....
I there any other way to reset the watch other than via settings?
Via DFU or something???
Any help is much appreciated!
Hi,
Last time my SW2 start to freak out (something like in your case) I started charging it via external charger (from my phone) and it just restart instantly. Give it a try.

Thank you for your answer!
So you mean charging it with my phone using an otg cable?
I'll try it, I'll keep you posted.
If you connect to a different bluetooth device it shoudl reset most of the settings, its just about the same as doing a reset I think.

I tried that numerous times.
Well thats the thing, it refuses to connect to another device, I cant enable pairing on the watch, i wont let me click confirm.
Even with nfc on another device, it does not connect.
I'm afraid i am out of options...
Plus the charging via OTG gave no results.
Yet tryin to power on pressing down button for maybe 30s to enter in pairing mode for new phone ?

That does not work either.
Yesterday I contacted Xperia support.
I performed a software reset with PC Companion.
Even tough you cannot select Smartwatch 2 It is Supported.
It works as follows:
- No device connected.
- Go to support zone.
- Choose accessories software update
- Choose Smartwatch 3 (yes 3)
- Then connect your Smartwatch 2 in DFU mode (connect usb cable then immediatly press power button for 0,5s)
- Then it is detected, let the driver install, PCC proposed to reinstall latest software.
There, I hope this helps anyone facing similar issues.
My watch works again as before!
Thank you, Sir.
Looks good so far. Now I can delay the purchase of a new smartwatch a little longer.
Tried this today to unbrick my SW2, but even selecting the SW3 option PCC says that there is no update available for my device.
So, isn't there any way anymore to reflash the watch?
Thanks
edit: seems that PCC has been updated to a newer version... maybe this makes the proposed solution useless now?

Thanks for making things clear... I did contact them per email, still no answer. I just tried the chat, and I was told that I should send the watch to the official service. They say there is no way to flash new firmware on the watch via cable, while I know there used to be a way.

The last fast ring update I know I had on my HTC M8 (registry hacked to think it's a Lumia 950) was Redstone 10.0.14915.1000, which has been working just fine for a couple weeks now. Today a new update was pushed to the phone, which must have been the latest fast ring (Redstone 10.0.14926.1000). However, after I rebooted the phone to install the update after it finished installing it rebooted itself again (as expected) but now just continuously reboots. I have to perform the factory hard reset using the volume keys to get the phone to shut down totally. But when I start it again it just goes into the continuous reboot scenario again.
Anyone know if there's a way to recover from this? I really don't want to have to use the Windows Device Recovery Tool to go back to Win8.1 and start all over again if I can help it.
Too impatient. I went ahead and used the recovery tool to go back to Win8.1 Update 2. Oh, joy!
You're not alone brother. Hit mine this morning, luckly I woke up without my alarm, but 30 minutes late. Good thing I'm fast in the morning.. Just enough time to restore and head to work. Gonna pop back to the slow ring asap..
I couldn't get it to boot into Windows 10 once it got stuck. I had to use the recovery tool to go back to Windows 8.1 but didn't realize they have since pulled the Windows Insider support for the HTC so now I can't even get the phone to upgrade to the Win10 Insider Preview build. My previous method was to side-load Interop Tools for Win10 after upgrading to Win10 via the Insider Preview app and then I hacked the registry to trick the phone into thinking it's a Lumia 950. Since I can't get back to Win10 I don't know how to edit the registry in Win8.1.
Anyone able to point me to the correct tools for editing the registry in Windows 8.1?
Same thing here .. please if anyone knows a way to backup the data when phone is in that situation share it please .. I can't delete the data on my phone it's too important!! ..
Found Win8-to-Win10 instructions for Lumia but need it for HTC
Well, I found the following post explaining how to update a Lumia back to Win10 after downgrade to Win8: http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...le/installing-windows-10-mobile-tech-t3431454
However, I don't think that will work for an HTC. Basically, I think I just need a way to get to the registry on an HTC w/ Win8 installed and then I should be able to update to Win10.
Just not having any luck finding anything on the forum for hacking the registry on an HTC w/ Win8...

Does the HTC have an SD card? If so, you can try the SD card method rather than the wpinternals one.

Yes it does. I got the following response from another user on a thread I posted under the HTC One M8 for Windows forum. I haven't tried it yet but it looks like a summary of the steps necessary to upgrade the HTC One M8 from Win8 to Win10. Here's the link for anyone else in the same boat:

Note: The update packages linked down below are for ARM devices (basically for the Windows RT OS)
After contacting Microsoft, and doing research for at least a few weeks, I found a solution to this major problem.
Alright, so I got a permanent solution for the Windows Update searching disaster!
Step 1: Restore your Surface RT with the recovery image from the microsoft website. (optional)
Step 2: Set up your surface and head to Windows update.
Step 3: Search for updates, after 30m-1h you will see a firmware update, press install without modifying the update list.
Step 4: After the installation got succeeded, and your surface rt restarted go ahead and search again for updates.
Step 5: Again you will see a package of updates, this update includes the Windows RT 8.1 Update 1 update (kb2919355).
Step 6: When you finished installing the updates and your surface rebooted again, go to "installed updates" and check if kb2919355 is installed.
Step 7: If not, try to install the updates again. If yes, start searching for updates again.
Step 7B (Read before doing): IF kb2919355 is not installed and you are stuck on the search for updates part please download THIS file, turn off your WiFi, install the file by opening it, restart when finished and turn on WiFi
Step 8: Once Windows Update is searching for at least 4 hours we came at the point where most of us are stuck.
THE SOLUTION
Step 9: Download kb3173424 from HERE.
Step 10: Download kb3172614 from HERE.
Step 11: Turn off your Wifi, and reboot the surface.
Step 12: Install kb3173424 by opening it.
Step 13: Reboot the surface.
Step 14: Install kb3172614 by opening it.
Step 15: Reboot the surface.
Step 16: Turn on your Wifi, start searching for updates and after 10+/- minutes you will see 180+ updates coming your way .
I hope this helps a lot of people, since it was a major problem on the Surface RT.
Don't forget to hit that donation ehh... Thanks button!
Great work and thanks for the help ill try this on my surface 2 when I have more free time. I basically did that but instead got to the point where I was able to manually install the update 3 (which was about 60 updates in) and just stopped there and blocked updates so I could use the store without errors and use the development tool to run ported desktop apps.

I restored an image on my surface RT more then 80 times in total. Contacted Microsoft which couldn't do anything and just told me to live with it. And finally came at the conclusion that 8.1 update 1 did something with the Windows update module (still doing research what exactly went wrong with that update).
However I tested this 2 times on my own tablet I can guarantee you this will work!

My friend, you are very dedicated. Much more than MS it appears. I tested your method on a Surface 2 last night. It works great. Excellent work.

Glad I could help!
Hmm. I can't say if it is working or not yet. After finally fixing the errors I was getting after a reset (80240440) now I am updating, and after 2 large installs I still have no kb2919355. In fact I don't even have it's pre-requisite of kb2919442. I would really hate to be the guy that discovered this not working for every RT out there. :crying: I will just keep installing large groups until I either get them or it gets stuck again, and I will be absolutely sure to update this for the benefit of others.
Update: It worked, but I had to download and restart 5 separate sets of updates. My theory is that it is tied to the wi-fi connection. I had several errors at first indicating that I wasn't able to connect to the update servers. Internet Explorer worked fine so I went chasing a red herring looking at network settings, firewall etch. Then I brought the Surface from my living room into my office, where the router is, and suddenly it is working perfectly. So my point is, remember that this thing is finicky, and don't take any chances. The community thanks you Stjinchan, awesome job.

After you installed the 2 mentioned updates manually windows update should be fixed and you are able to receive all the updates including update 3 through windows update again.

Thanks mate, I'll try it ASAP on my Surface RT
I can't manually install the first of the two updates, it say it's not possible to install it. Looks like I miss the 2919355 after the two big bacth of updates.
Any idea?
I'm very surprised and somehow happy to let you guys know that my Surface RT updated itself to the latest Update 3 after few days of downloading updates.
I was ready to follow this new guide, downloaded the manual updates but I've never used it.
I started everything by restoring Windows, keeping all my data and just refreshing WinRT, after that I started the typical updates cycles but something was different. I noticed I was missing the Kb2919355 (update 1), some of the updates were titled "KB **WhateverNumberItIs** without KB2919355", so I was a bit concerned but instead of the KB2919355 my Surface keeped find new updates in a very small time. After another batch of 137 updates, which took almost 3 hours to install, few other not important ones, here I am with my Windows 8.1 RT Update 3.
I really did nothing different from the previous 7/8 times.
Thank you, it works!
Now my Nokia 2520 tablet is back to life.
Not working for my Surface 2
I already have the first update listed to install, but when I try to install the second one it just says searching for updates on this computer...
Is there anything else I can try like resetting it? I just got it today.
amazing
Thank you for detailed instructions.
Advice for others, the key update we're looking for is the only one that ends with "55", so it's easier to search for it, just check the KB numbers in update history until you see it.
Also, another advice, DO NOT lightly install any optional updates. At the end of the process you will see a few optional updates. Please google each and every KB number, some of them caused big problems in the past! I personally installed 3 updates out of recommended list, including the new start menu and some other fixes that no one complained about.
In my case it took a couple days of waiting until my device got and installed the kb2919355 update, and I could take the matter into my own hands.
Now I just installed the two updates, and started searching for updates online.
Let's see where does it take me.
It's a completely new surface RT I purchased for laughable money to see if I could use it as a portable typewriter
For others out there who are still going through the process, the timeline was as follows:
- Friday 4pm I reset the device to official image, and started searching for updates (not connected to my microsoft ID, just local account)
- Friday 5pm I got a message about firmware update, downloaded and installed
- Friday 6pm I set it to search for updates, and left it at work.
- Saturday night I came to check it out, and it told me it wants to install updates. I installed some updates, there was no kb2919355 update, so I set it to search again
- Monday morning I cam full of hopes, the device told me it wants to install some updates, but kb2919355 wasn't among them. I installed whatever was ready, and set it to search again.
- It was still searching at 1pm. I got tired of waiting, and went to power menu. It suggested "Update and restart", so I chose it. It installed 50 updates, kb2919355 was amoung them, but failed.
- I fiddled around for 5 minutes, and it said that 3 updates were available (without searching), kb2919355 among them. Installed them, restarted.
- Then as per instruction, installed 2 updates manually (wifi off) and rebooted.
- searched for updates, took 10 minutes and voila! 161 important updates, and 8 optional.
- took an hour to download all 161 important updates, then about 2 hours to install.
- patience is a virtue! After installation of all 160 updates above, surface offered to do a restart. After clicking the Restart button, it spent >30 minutes with Restarting and a spinning circle. I was pondering about hard-resetting it, but then it started showing progress of update installation, so wait and wait until it does.
- Took about an hour to finalize updates installation. Like I mentioned at the beginning, I installed 3 optional updates (carefully chose them out of the list of 6)
- only then I connected my microsoft account, installed and updated all Metro UI apps (do not start using them before you update them, trust me on this one).

Continue checking for updates till you are stuck in the endless search. You should got the *355 update before that loop.

Stjinchan................... YOU ARE A LEGEND !..................... it worked, after 5 days of resets and refreshes you have resolved my issues, KB2919355 would never install via windows update itself. I am currently installing 210 updates at present........ I turned off WiFi and installed KB2919355 manually it took approx 40 mins to verify and install, from then i followed from step 9 of your guide and now things are looking good, so far i have 210 updates to install and after approx 3 hours installing as we speak we are at update 184 ...................... so we are almost there. Thank you for providing the standalone KB2919355 file ! That was the problem for me. I am delighted that forums such as XDA help people to resolve issues such as this its just a pity Microsoft themselves cant help more - credit to you STJINCHAN !
Hi,
I have applied firware update for years without problems but today I am stumped.
I tried to update todate from 6ETLL firmware to the newer 6FUBD both Android 11.
Set up Odin using 3.14.4 and started ok.
Then I had the install stopping and disconnecing to the phone.
Eventually I disconnected the phone lead and it now wont boot passed the error message -
An error has occurred while updating the device software.
Use the Emmergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
So I installed this on my pc it it fails to recognise the phone even in Emmergency recovery mode.
I have tried all methods of trying to reboot the phone but it always comes back to the above arror message and wont go into recover mode or download mode.
I did not but this from O2 but directly from Samsund and its just out of warrantee.
I dont know wheer the service center is in the Uk and thats a lst resort anyway.
Any suggestions please.

Odin hates thunderbolt - If you plan on using a USB-C port make sure it's not thunderbolt. It will fail half way in and freeze. Get a well rated cable and do it via USB concentrator directly
If you get stuck and you cannot access recovery via key combo or smartswitch emergency recovery use Odin
Open options and select get device info - It will reboot directly to the recovery if it was previously written (check the log). After that disable the get device info option and reconnect the cable (select files for flashing again - should go smoothly.
If after the reboot and setup you get a moisture warning on the USB port - this does not make nay sense but it works - Turn off the Note, plug in a usb cable on the PC and reboot the phone connected to the cable - It will reset the sensor warning and should work flawlessly.
Hope to have helped - Had a bit of a jarring adventure setting this one up this time.
The lag in the animation is there, however, I think it's the animation timer that is set higher (slower) it's not slow "per se" but it shows. "
Bomm,
I must say.... I dont know how to thank you. Your post saved my Note 10.
I emailed Samsung repair and after 2 days they said phone xxxxx if you need it repaired under warrantee.
I waited a week for the phone to lose its battery and when booted back on charge cane up with the same error.
So I went back on xda and you had kindly posted the exact fix I needed. I didn't expect that. I know now if I have the same issue again. It was my pc I think using usb-c to usb-c like you said. Thank you so much.
I didn't get any warnings at all. booted up fine.

had the same issue. I was stumped at first too
I've tried all the posts but when I say start in odin, the phone restarts and gives an error
As you say you are super, my friend, I applied it step by step, the phone entered the download mode.
Not sure why you want Q or above on the 10+.
I'm still running on Pie/One UI. Fast, very stable and zero issues. Last reload was back in June.
If the OS is running well and fulfilling its mission let sleeping dogs lie.
One issue is if we don't keep up to date then at some point Samsung will stop support on a particular phone and the phone can be years out if date.
They may then be on a version unsupported by the apps suppliers and will be more difficult to sell if you want to buy a new phone.

No problem here. All my PCs, their XPx64/W7 OSs as well as my Androids Kitkat/Pie OSs are now unsupported.
No issues and all continue to fulfill their missions.
Forced learning curves waste my time and offer little in return. My last learning curves were from Kitkat to Pie and XPx64 to W7.
I stopped updating with the best versions of both MS and Android. I don't rat's arse if it stays like that for the next 10 years... or if my Windows machines mutate into Pie or Linux machines
Whatever works best for me.
It's not just the bugs that won't get fixed it's the vulnerabilities as well, then the apps stop working. I actually enjoy upgrading my kit and amon Windows 10 21h1. Anti virus packages mat stop working as well.

I've never had a malware or virus issue that required a factory reset in over 7 years of using Android. More than half of the time was using out of date OS's. My current Pie OS is over a year out of date.
99% of rootkits, viruses etc are uploaded by the user. There's no protecting the stupid.
I have redundant complete backups so a factory reset will cost me normally 2 hours and at worst case 6-8 hours if I need to restore the SD card.
You waste far more time then this fighting with the bugs, the learning curve and the forced factory reset that a major firmware update requires.
I get to use the OS of my choice... you get whatever they throw at you and the ride that comes with it.
