So a couple of days ago I updated my phone.
I used Windows Phone 7 Connector for mac doing this.
This updated the device to the following:
OS version: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware version: 1600.2479.7740.11451 ?
The latest FW version is 1600.2483.8106.11500 and is not what I've got in FW.
Is this an error?
I rolled back to 7.10.7740.16 and updated from Zune in Windows 7 (64 bit) that gave the exact same result with latest OS version but still the old FW version.
Ahh just read through at the dev section. I can see I'm not the only one.
Just thought they would update the whole device when they now took the time to tell me an update was available, guess the update process is weird on WP7
OS and firmware roll out separately. The OS is universal across all devices while the firmware is device specific so you can understand why they are separate.
Now why Nokia and MS can't coordinate so both updates come at the same time is a different question. Although i think in this case the firmware came out after the OS update.
I am still stuck up with the os version 7.10.7740.16
I got stuck with 1600.2479...

If thats the case how come some users received both the OS and Firmware update in one update? and has anyone received the OS update and then a couple days later received the firmware update?
Well I wrote Nokia to get a clear answer on this matter.

They might be downloaded at the same time but it isn't a single file. If you look into it the software update is a bunch of smaller files. It downloads the main OS and all the installed languages separately (I.E. doesn't download italian if you don't need it).
I received a firmware update for my trophy a week after i updated to mango.
It may have 1000 files but its reported on Zune as one update which contains the OS and the firmware. If it where 2 separate updates, Zune would run the the update twice like we had with mango. If it were 2 separate updates, there would have been 2 separate backups done.
So has anyone or know anyone who has received the OS update and then a few days later received the firmware update?

I think it's an error. Because Zune only checks up on the OS version 8107.79 and says there is no updates. So I hope Nokia will write me back soon to get a clear answer on this matter.

I did. I got the latest OS update and then got a firmware update a week later.
Hello, has anyone on T-Mobile uk contract manage to get the OS update?

I think you're on the same boat as me, waiting, Orange network, since T-Mobile and Orange are one, I believe that they are taking the right p***, I've been waiting for two-three weeks, only one Orange user claimed to have forced it with the disconnect trick, but how he has done it, only God knows if he's lying, after an hour of trying, I gave up.

I thought firmware updates can't be rolled back (only OS updates). If so, Zune wouldn't backup for a firmware update.

It's correct. Just got an answer from a Danish Nokia rep. The OS Version is handled by Microsoft and the firmware version is rolled out by Nokia. So it can indeed be two separate updates. He told that the firmware update should roll out to danish handsets next week.
Thread cleaned... any trolling please do report! Do not go into discussion, just leave that to the mods...!!!

Sorry for asking a simple question but even the o2 gurus don't know.
Do updates come via ota or do you HAVE to use kies to get updates??
Or is there only specific updates that come via ota? Ie gingerbread updates come via ota but touchwiz/Samsung updates cone through kies??
There seems to be conflicting info on the net.
Currently have unbranded s2 on o2

Kies FOTA has yet to be used by Samsung .
Samsung apps updates come OTA via the Samsung Apps widget .
jje
If I remember correctly, Samsung never licenced the OTA capability, so while you will see the Software Update in settings, you won't get any joy.
Any official updates will appear via Kies.
FOTA is a service provided by google, a paid service that is. samsung doesnt pay

love the phone, had to jump through a few hoops to get it work through linux/ubuntu as well.. Hence the FOTA update query as i dont go near a windows pc that often.
Anyways an update is needed, after emailing samsung online support team (god knows how long it took me to find this) i received this back
"Thank you for contacting Samsung and I have pleasure in providing the
following assistance.
Regarding your query, kindly note UK does not support yet OTA ‘over the air’ updates and you can kindly
check our website for further and latest updates. We would like to inform you that our engineering’s are
working on releasing a firmware over the air update for the Galaxy S II ‘GT-I9100’ but it is still not available yet;
however, any news on this matter will be made public through our website so kindly keep checking our
website for latest and further updates.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.
If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and
we will be more than happy to help."
if i know engineers... this may be a long * infinity amount of time
They started FOTA in sweden a few days ago for SGS2
There are several reports that this works well. You simply go to settings->about and manually check for update.
They probably launch soon in other countries as well.

This is also confirmed in Finland. First update I believe we've had since the phone was released..
This is great news for me because as a Mac user Kies does not do firmware upgrades. It will tell you the current and the new version, but no option to update... After seeing this for weeks I pulled out my thinkpad who's sole purpose is Kies.
New version of Kies came out, updated, but some driver would not get installed.. so I uninstalled, downloaded the new version and installed. Still did not work so decided to install the windows updates.. Since that was taking forever decided to kill time looking at XDA.. so I found this thread. Figured it would not work but what the heck...
Checked for software update, downloaded, installed. Done, in 10 minutes.
Good thing too as my "Kies" PC fails to boot after the windows updates......

Sounds great, I guess Samsung has released an OTA update for the "NEE" region regardless of the specific country then. If I'm right OTA should work in Denmark and Norway as well, assuming you're using stock firmware though...
So are these OTA's being delivered by Samsung or by your carrier??

This is done via the Samsung account (you need to create one when searching for udpate the first time). So these are delivered by Samsung at least in that sense.
But also carrier specific firmwares in general are released by Samsung (via Kies).
FOTA Didn't work for me. Kies is not loading.
I will stay with 2.3.
t-mobile (austria) got FOTA update today http://fota-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/MAX/GT-I9100/FW-20120418-89510.bin ? strange version date ? for galaxy SII (bin file is a zip archive with delta_ files...)
Yup...updates over the Air FOTA is real
But you can update your phone firmware via Kies as it is considered to be more safe...

Hi, My Mozart does not seem to be getting a response from HTC to tell me that the latest Firmware is available. I have connected it to Zune several times and I even have the leaked 7720 ROM installed and if I'm right this should have triggered the update process. Could anyone shed some light on this or have I missed something and I need to actually do something to install this update myself. I have listed below my phone details as they are now.
Network: Orange UK
Model: HTC 7 Mozart T8698
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2250.09.13001.401
Hardware: 0004
Radio Software: 5.54.09.21-22.33b.50.10U
Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4
Bootloader: 1.30.2250.1(117833)

Where did you get that info?
Zune continues to update the devices when you flash a leaked ROM, because a leaked ROM does not mean a unofficial one.
He asks for the HTC firmware update (not the OS upgrade) but i believe that update is to some phone carriers, since the no carrier devices won't seem to get the firmware update. Maybe this has something to do with HTC and they bad support...
I have an HTC 7 Mozart from T-Mobile DE and i receive the update. But with an unlocked and unbranded Mozart i never got the firmware upgrade...
Hi, thanks for the response. I have since tried going back to stock but this didn't update the firmware only software. I have also tried going back to unbranded but again still no update. I'm baffled by this, any ideas.

any kind of error message?connection error,etc? nothing?
Hi, I can connect with Zune and it syncs ok but even looking in the settings for an update all it says is that my phone is up to date. I'm running out of things to try. Think I will go back to stock again and leave it for a while this time as this did give me a later bootloader version, as in 1.33 and not 1.30 as is the Ansar rom im using. Also no errors at all, just doesn't seem to be found by HTC at all.
Just to keep people informed.
I flashed back to the stock Orange UK ROM.
This updated everything to 7392 and also to the latest firmware.
I then decided to try flashing back to the unbranded Ansar ROM.
This took me to 7392 but had actually dropped me back down to my original firmware. So I am now on the road to flashing Mango again but with my original firmware.
But surely if I am only updating the OS my firmware should have stayed the same or are things done differently in WP7
Got it all sorted.
Flashed the stock Rom, updated to Mango Beta then to Mango RTM and now have Mango with latest firmware.

I doubt that you'll receive the update again, since the published version should be the same as the new firmware. However you can try to reset, but I wouldn't say that you'll gain an advantage...

Rollback to the backup, then you'll receive the update, as you've updated with cab sender, Zune would think it's updated. The update will arrive in the next few days if it hasn't today. So be ptient.

So, has anyone with a german lumia received the update or is it still unavailable? (T-Mobile)
Hopefully someone can help me. I recently purchased an Honor 7 in the UK so I assume I have the EU version. I have noticed on a few forums that people are getting OTA's for version B180. I have tried checking for updates via the settings menu to no avail. My phone is running B121. Am I stuck on this till MM or is there an update available that I should have received.
Don't panic, I'm in the UK on B121. We'll get the ota update in the next week or 2
That's fine then. Thanks for the help.:good:
Just download the updates and do them manually, the instructions are in the getting started thread above. I am in the UK was running 121 but am now on 180, just be careful and follow the instructions to the letter.
You can either wait for the full Marshmallow version when it comes on OTA, but if you want, you can update from B121 to B140, then to B170, and finally from B170 to B180.
It'll give you a few more features (such as pro-camera mode) and some security patches.
I got OTA from B121 to B130, but no OTA further on from there, so I manually went from B130 -> B140 -> B170 -> B180.
I'm in the UK as well and I got OTA from B313 to B320. Not sure I see any improvements, though!
edit: I am not a beta tester, I just uploaded manually up to B313. Never unlocked, never rooted the phone.

If you update to B180 will they release an OTA that goes from B180 -> Marsh mellow directly? Or will I have to flash any intermediate updates?
This is all speculation but I was wondering if anyone knew, many thanks.
I think there will be a full Update file and also an ota from b180 to mm because all other releases greater than b180 are beta firmwares...that does not make any sense for me to force a stable user to intermediate Update to a beta and than to a final release.
Yes there will be a full update package from 121 to MM released. On the French honor site it has a European zip file for honor 7 which contained both packages inside it with instructions how to update depending which software you were currently on. It was a beta package so I decided to wait for the official as it is only another week to wait. It is annoying how honor 7 in Europe are getting ota updates to 180 when people in the uk seam not to. Plus I want to do a full fresh install of MM to make sure it's a clean install on my phone and no chance of bugs ect.
Just received ota B180 in the UK , so MM is on its way.
I got my Uk Honor 7 in September and it came with B100 and to date I have not had any updates, it is strange that some people in the Uk say they get OTA updates and others here get nothing.
numbnutsuk - what was yours on before you got your update today?

My phone was on B121, and is currently downloading the 180 update....
I think mine was one of the early ones delivered to the UK as it came with B100, I have seen several posts on here where people are stating theirs came with B121 which I think were delivered at a later date, I could have updated mine via the links provided as I use to do manual AOSP updates with my Samsung S3, but was not able to use my Lloyds bank app and a few other apps, so I decided to keep my Honor 7 with official updates only. but may have to rethink that if we don't get an update soon.

If everything works out ok I will update my wife's phone (Honor 7)
Thanks for your help, cheers
Your welcome.
Good to hear, it should not wipe your phone so everything should still be working as before.
Let's just hope official MM is next week.

I'm exactly the same, got an early one with B100..... When will mm arrive?
Create a folder on your SD called dload and stick the above zip into it then update manually through the update app on your phone. Reboot and it will ota update to 180. I think the MM update will be released the end of this week!
Firstly, apologies if this is a stupid question - this is my first time posting.
I have been following threads on here about the Oreo OTA update and people have been confirming it left and right, however I still haven't received anything in the UK.
Is it down to my device?
Is it safe to follow a guide on installing it from FF?
Thank you in advance.
You're on C432B120 ?
I'm still waiting too - on C432B183
" Is it safe to follow a guide on installing it from FF? "
I've use Firmware Finder to update my Honor9 ( from 183 to Oreo ) with no problems, after a few days, without FF ,I get new OTA from android, so, I think it's safe. In my case : Nothing is unlock no root , nothing, only Stock.
Thanks for all the replies. I'm on C432B183.
I'll try the FF option
Just asking!
Hi all, March is over for us in the UK in just under 4 and a half hours did anyone get the official update to Oreo other than using firmware finder? Just wish they (honor) would of just kept silent on the update until it was rolling out instead of all this guessing
Cheers
Nothing here. I only got my phone a few days ago and it did an update but only to the same version as you guys.
You tried on wifi ?
Tried on wifi connected to their PC software, not sure if I want to go down the firmware finder route just yet as there is always a chance of bricking the phone and I should of mentioned it is a retail unlocked honor 9 bought in the UK from J__n Lew_s (not sure if we can, name names so to speak on the forum) again not moaning about the phone just the lack of official information even sent honor a tweet but I will probably wait and wait for a reply

Firstly, apologies if this is a stupid question - this is my first time posting.
I have been following threads on here about the Oreo OTA update and people have been confirming it left and right, however I still haven't received anything in the UK.
Is it down to my device?
Is it safe to follow a guide on installing it from FF?
Thank you in advance.

FF is totally safe if you always use the IMEI approved ones. Also, use the full OTA files. (Larger ones)

Using firmware finder no doubt will work I was wondering will a phone updated that way still receive official future ota updates for security etc or once it has been used do you have to update using FF?
I updated mine to B180 via FF and got an OTA update for B183 a few days later. Also updated to Oreo via FF with no problems. My phone came from Three.

Yes, FF only makes your phone "skip in line" of the OTA queue.
Thanks for those answers think I will update it when I return from work later
Cheers
I'm on C432B183 and am getting nothing. Firmware Finder is always saying that any new OTA update is not approved for the device...
