[Q] Samsung Update (post Nodo)

---

After updating my Omnia 7 to Nodo I got another update notification about a "Samsung Update".

When I try to install it it hangs at step 6 of 10: rebooting your phone (the phone shows the omnia logo but doesn't boot).

Was anybody able to install this update? What does it do?

You say you updated to NoDo...how? Did you receive a notification or use one of the tricks to get the update? Not had anything myself. Also how long after the NoDo update did you get the other update, was it via Zune or a phone notification.

Sounds interesting given the odd display I've now got, wondering if we have some updated drivers on the way.

I forced the update (via Hungary) but got the new notification as soon as I connected the phone to Zune (it also shows up on the phone).

There is a 'more information' link on the first page but sadly it does not give more information.

Getting the same update after NoDo. Doesn't update though, stuck at rebooting just like you. Weird..

Didn't get my update via Hungary BTW, just the regular way (A1 branded).

Hmmm this is worrying. I assume there were no problems after this update failed?

No, I don't think anything happened yet. The PC is waiting for the phone to reboot, and the phone is stuck on boot..

How long did you leave it?

Not sure, 30-45 mins maybe the first time. The second time I tried just a couple of minutes. It said the update would take 32 mins, but since it just said rebooting and not updating I reckoned the process hadn't even started yet.

You just unplugged it then and it carried on workig OK?

That sounds about right, when i did pre-nodo the reboot took about a minute or so of displaying the Omnia logo then went to the pc plug screen whilst it updated.

I did read about device specific updates, seems odd though as some people are saying that they updated to NoDo and it works fine and had no future updates.

Unplugged it and had to take the battery out to reboot. Notice how it says 'Samsung update for Windows Phone' though. I'll try one more time. My phone bugged me a couple of times about the update as well ('An Update is available').
