Get NoDo now without using VPN and dialup!

Noticed · Mar 30, 2011

Hi,

yesterday I updated my LG Optimus 7:

Zune sayed, that i was currently using the latest version (7008) of WP7.
I didn't want to install a VPN client and a dialup.
So i did it as described following:

1. Start Zune
2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone
3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)
4. Start the update search in Zune
5. About 3 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).
6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.
7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.

Should work for all devices that can be updated by the VPN / dialup solution.

If it fails at point 5, try other timepoints for disconnecting, or try it again disconnected.

I can confirm this is working for my Vodafone branded HTC Trophy.

See this link for a screenshot. http://cloud.jorijn.com/5cJv

Man, you are awesome. I thank you.

Edit: It worked the first time. I timed the "There is no update available" twice which took 11 and 10 seconds. I then pulled the WiFi switch on 8 of 9 seconds. Bingo.

Works!

This worked on my AT&T LG Quantum. Not sure whether it matters, but I had previously unbranded it with the registry edit (took out ATT-US).

Thanks for the tip--great find!

Can't get this to work on my AT&T-branded Focus.

My "There is no update available" message takes about 2-3 seconds to come up. Maybe the speed is complicating this, heh, but it doesn't seem to matter how quickly I do a hardware or software disconnect--I'll either get the "no update" message or a "we can't check for updates right now."

Wow, this really works! nice find! thanks for sharing Noticed

oh this is much easier, thanks! I'd tried the other way a lot of times and had one success, but then got told I had insufficient disk space and had to start all over again. With this method I only had to try a few times. Only thing that slightly confused me was when you said to disconnect from wireless that I wasn't sure if that was the PC or the phone. Since my PC is wired I just disabled the NIC after 3 seconds. I'd say it worked twice out of about 10 attempts.

thanks

just finish updating
thank you TS for such a great solution
beats that hungary solution hands down

Bonebreaker · Mar 30, 2011

Nice solution!

If it's ok I will integrate it to the sticky thread.

Focus

I have a locked (no Chevron), branded (AT&T) Focus and can't get this to work. Zune says I am uptodate with 7004 (I do not have the pre-nodo). Should this be working for me?

lol nice. works with unbranded vodafone htc trophy. thanks man!

Same.

Since I'm about tired of AT&T's holdups, I might unbrand later today and try again. Are there any consequences to unbranding? I'm assuming I won't be able to connect to the AT&T appcenter, but I can live with that.

Will it mess up my messaging or anything?

Amazing.

First try, worked like a charm. Thank you very much!

Hd7 O2 Germany, super Danke........

Thumbs up. Worked on my Samsung Focus AT&T 000-88 registry hack!
edit: maybe because if the internet at my place is slower, I need to turn off my wifi at around 8 seconds mark. The whole process takes around 10 seconds before zune show no update if leave alone.

JoeStix1x · Mar 30, 2011

Works great on my T-Mobile HD7, Thanks!

Gaz25 · Mar 30, 2011

wow this works!!

Tried all other methods and nothing worked but by my 3rd attempt using this and it was there!

Not sure if this helps but if it fails then disconnect the phone from usb wait a sec and then plug back in. This seems to help with the timing as I found that if it fails and you try again right away the "your phone is up to date" message comes up quicker.
