From nodo to mango update , how to ?

---

Dones anyone has step by step tutorial how to update omnia 7 from nodo to beta2 mango ? thx in advance

I'm intersted as well what to do exactly.

This is what i did,

1. Flash you phone with Samsung Omnia 7 Firmware XXJL3 RETAIL UNITED KINGDOM. you should have v7004 installed.

2. Plug phone in to PC and check for updates with Zune, it should say that the Feb update is available, install this update. (if you have problems installing this, make sure your USB cable is connected to a USB port that is physically on the motherboard and try again)

3. Check for updates again, this should say that the NODO update is available, install this update.

4. Follow the instruction on THIS site to get the mango updates.

NOTE: When i tried this with the KC1 firmware, my phone would get stuck in a reboot loop when going through the instructions in step 4, i had no problems with JL3 firmware.

Anyone had any problems with Mango yet? Crashing, laggy, etc?

I'm curious, do most apps work with Mango? Or will they all disappear/fail to open once I update. Also, does this process/"restore.bat" delete data ie. game saves?

I'm interested in updating to Mango, but not at the cost of lost apps/saves either during the update or restore.

I have no crashes at all with mango, the OS is a a lot more responsive overall.

I have only brought one app on my Omnia, all i needed to do was go in to the marketplace and redownload and install it again.

Thanks for the instructions Duck!

I followed them to a 'T' (minus the firmware updates, my phone was bought unlocked and unbranded) and it worked great! All my game saves, apps, etc. were there and Mango runs smooth as silk!

The only downside (and the link mentioned this) was that Zune does not sync with my phone anymore. It requires and 'update' and once you try and get that update Zune errors ('Cannot find update file: blah blah'). So it looks like this currently Mango build prevents Zune syncing (although wifi might still work, I'll have to test it).

Download the Beta version of Zune HERE.

Awesome, that worked great! Where do you find this stuff?! Hah, thanks again.

I always get the timeout when it is restarting for the first time.

Edit: Suspending the process and deleting the unneeded files worked for me.

does anyone know if you lose the Live Services activation key after the a Mango Update? thanks in advance
