i have a samsung focus with at&t unlocked for bell mobility canada, with 7390, if i do this trick update will anything go wrong with my phone later on??? coz i reallly want mango, but i dont want to mess up my phone:P

thanks for the vid btw

@krempaszanka Nope, this uses the Zune software to install it, so nothing bad will happen, it's just like Microsoft gave you the update early ;) Everything is still official

@windowsphonehacker thats why im trying this, because although mango is out for everybody, my dell venue pro doesnt upgrade further than the NODO update.

Hi

I see that when you are disabling click on the LAN, however, my LAN read "network cable unplugged" and my computer is only connected via wireless connection. Does that mean I should disable the wireless on mine instead?

Thanks a lot for this video! Really helped. Ive got an Omnia 7 on Orange, and this little trick worked perfect. Didnt take too long for the updates to install, and I didnt even need to do it twice; once the first update was complete it searched for the second one by itself. Awesome. Need to disconnect after exactly 3 secs. Just depends on the speed of your computer and how quick it disconnects. Thanks again.

I'm pretty sure they need to be pushing the update out to your phone for this to actually work. I have an Omnia 7 on T-Mobile UK and they're still testing it and I've tried well over 60 times and I just can't get it to work. I've tried this technique, pulling my ethernet, disconnecting straight away, waiting 2-3 seconds, disconnecting my phone then reconnecting it on the update page and disconnecting right on the connection sound.
