I think you can't because as I have the same sate with a Samsung Omnia 7
I do not get official update.
More... I think there is NO update 7.8 for HD7 because I have one and nothing on the air by now

First switch to OSPL, then downgrade to official 7.5, then update to 7.8 using SevenEighter.

presumably because you have Deepshining currently installed... your Schubert is already XSPL'd.
just flash a Custom ROM with WP7.8 already installed.
else
you could try updating via WP7.8 CABs.
unsure if dotcompt disabled CAB updating or not, though.

As far as I know deepshining is incompatible with .cab updating. And is not updateable through Zune. So the answer is no, you can't update this way.
But why would you like to be on official ROM anyways? I would have gotten rid of my HD7's long ago and switched to Android if they weren't with custom ROMs. IMHO our phones are nearly crippled with the official stuff. But I guess this is just my own personal point of view.

Yes you can update to 7.8 just search seveneighter that is an update program for every wp7 phone

thanks
Thank you,
I already have Custom ROM, but it is not Arabic support, that's why I need to update to original WP7.8.
I tried to use CAB filed, but it is not working.

Did you tried the source codes? https://github.com/jaxbot/wph-seveneighter

i had the same problem and i downgraded by flashing back to 7.5 but my phone doesnt get last 7.5 update even.
according to link below I am supposed to have Update 7.10.8773.98 before 7.8 update but my version is still Update 7.10.8107.79
will this be any problem to use that seveneighter if i dont have that update in between. or 7.8 update includes already that update.

I have the same phone. (T-mobile with Dynamics ROM).
If by official you mean HTC's version, then no, you will never get it because HTC has abandoned it (sounds like HTC, doesn't it).
You also said you want WP 7.8 for Arabic support -- but I thought 7.8 does NOT have Arabic (and may never get it unless M$ changes their mind).

It did work with my HD7S when I tried the SevenEighter from windowsphonehacker.com
I just hope 7.8 doesn't close any jailbreaking or unlocking loopholes.

this discussion already exist..

As Alesscam said , this is been already posted in WP7 General forum, ill let this thread open you wanna speak about this update for your Hd7 but ill move it to Hd7 General.
Hmmm... I updated to 7008 yesterday. No more updates for me just yet. Hopefully it'll show up soon.
Compared to the HD2, these updates are coming pretty quick.. woohoo.
Oh.. the HD2 went yesterday.. I now have a HD7. Lovely
Nothing as of last night, no notification on the phone today yet either.
The pre-update (7008) took about a week after the official release date for me, so I'm thinking that with a similar delay this time around, I should get Nodo on the 29th. If it comes before then, I'll be happy.

Thats what I did, then your phone it Truely debranded, its easy to do, and your phone will get all the updates as if it was never branded Mine updated on the 22nd to the latest version

I can confirm this works. I have just debranded and received the official nodo update directly though Zune
Thanks for the headsup
Hmm. Perhaps I'll try this, though I'm not sure how much I really need an update a week early ;p
Is there any downside to this unbranding? Any chance I will miss out on features/stuff down the line? I'm guessing not but you never know, it doesn't hurt to collect as much info as I can first. Fairly used to messing with phones (I remember flashing my MPx200 with the leaked WM2003 ROM many years ago, and more recently jailbreaking one of those iThings) but not usually so early in an OS' lifecycle, and never so soon after I buy a phone, lol.
Likely I will go ahead with this (can't help but tinker!) but just wondered if there is anything I should know! Anything HD7 specific, or o2 specific, maybe.
Edit: never mind I've done it now
Still no update here - man waiting sucks so much lol

My O2 HD7 Updated to Nodo last night.
Firmware revision number: 2250.09.16901.206
Radio Software version: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
I had the official NoDo come up and installed this morning after installing Chevron forced version yesterday!
BUT... after the update both the Marketplace and MSN messenger will not connect moaning about data connection (everything else seems to be OK!).

[Q] Chevron7 NoDo update really a problem?

Hey all, running a T-Mobile HD7 after running the Chevron7 NoDO update with no problems.
I am reading off of Gizmodo today that possibly the Chevron7 update permanently breaks for any further updates?
I have been searching for the forums for any info or confirmation, but also in comments on the Giz article, says XDA has already posted a fix? Really?
Crap!
Anyone have any confirmation or information on this?
Crap.. confirmed on teh Chris Walsh blog. He confirms that his update WILL break your phone for future updates and is working to find a fix. *Sigh*
Yeah this is a bummer.
But I'm pretty confident that by the time the next major update makes an appearance (Mango in 6 months or so) there will be a workaround available for those of us that used the Chevron updater for Nodo to allow an upgrade to Mango. Walshie's on it!
I think that's may true,
because I use ROM from O2DE and the first time with Chevron method, I got HTC update after NoDo.
and second time I re-flash again with the same ROM and upgrade to NoDo by Zune update, I can't get the HTC update until now..
I think.. maybe the update URL for specific phone was been change after use the Chevron Updater.
I've cut MS a lot of slack until now... If this is the case I'll just vote with my feet and switch to Android like i'm sure many others would...
I expect a bit of common sense from the largest software house on the planet... Release the update to carriers... Give them time to test...Set a global release date.... Jeez..
I don't believe this can't be fixed and it'll be a ploy for MS to say: 'hey we fixed this for our community, arn't we nice'... If not I guess the XDA community will work their magic as usual ;-)
Well after i used it to update to NoDo i then got the HTC firmware update about a day later. Which seems to imply it doesnt leave the phone totally unservicable.
The impression I got was past NoDo they are saying it will fail, I also got the O2 uk HTC one through Zune a day later..
I think the guy is getting paid by MS to agree with them. They don't want users circumventing the carriers.

With Chevron you got the HTC update after NoDO because it was unbundled from the Official NoDo update. Without Chevron, you did not see it as a separate update because is was properly bundled with the official NoDo update. You are missing nothing now, you have the HTC update.

if the update is included, why is it, that there is no banding and the sound is much quieter than with the update separated???

I am reading a guy in a blog saying, "People have gotten a second update after going to NoDo through ChevUp (7389 to 7390)". I did not use Chevron and I got one NoDo update and my OS version is 7.07390.0. What is your version number and what was your experience?

[Q] to Ansar - ROMs with no NODO

Hi Ansar!
Can you post your ROMs without any update integrated? I ask this because without NODO Chevron is working and jailbrake can be preserved though official M$ updates.
I need HD7_HTC_Europe_1.70.901.0 without NODO to be able to sideload apps.
Another workaround is that you include Chevron and some relock prevention in your ROMs and update them to latest official M$ level before posting.
Is this possible?

Cina.
You can use Rom with v.1.6.x from Here , when you have patch with Chevron use Chevron patch from Forum and now you can make all Updates and you will not Lose your patchd phone pn me and i will search tomorrow all Files i write from phone now

Hi!
I use 1.6 right now patched, chevroned and updated to latest. I have an issue of my carrier name probably due to radio version. Carrier signal should be "T-Mobile H" but it is displayed as "T-Mobile Hyyyyy". I know its not a big problem but it disturbes my a lot. With 1.7 I have it O.K. but I couldn't sideload.

Mango Update delivering NOW!

I´m installing Mango right now in Germany. Samsung Omnia 7 unbranded (de-branded^^). Used the old Wi-Fi-off trick to get the official update via Zune.
Could you please write what is final release version number after your phone updates?
No luck for me here in the UK...
Done! Pictures attached in the OP
I'm installing in Finland too, right now. Didn't have to do any tricks, just opened Zune and plugged phone in. I had official Beta 2 installed and now upgrading straight to Mango, no need to go NoDo first.

I mean from the phone "about" screen in settings?
7720.68 of course.
Drivers are 2424.11.8.5
radio is 2424.11.7.2
and bootloader is 5.8.1.9
done a clean update... flashed 7389, updated to 7392, registry hacked to add Czech language, updated to 7403 and 7720, all via Zune
Now its installing update four? First one was Mango, second was some beta 2 cleanup update, third was Samsung firmware update and now its installing Samsung firmware update #2..
Ok so the version that was here already for some time which was 7720.68 RTM is gold for Omnia?
Because I've read that guys with Dell Venue pro are receiving 7720.219.
Same here.

hi, I just updated to 7.10.7720.68 (is this final mango??) but I can not set display language to "czech".... some version mishmash??
updated mine through Zune this morning, no connection dis trick needed. I was on leaked RTM, so zune only updated my radio and firmware.
Now hidden wifi,touch focus, and bing vision all work!
I found another way to get the official Mango on my omnia 7 with the 7720 RTM.
Follow this site and you will get it fast and easy
http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011...paign=Feed:+Mobiletechworld+(MobileTechWorld)
It worked for me..
I'm sorry mate, but Czech isn't deployed on all phones, you have to hack it BEFORE updating to Mango by adding Czech into registry as available language.
(I still feel like MS did it this way to give it to users, because they would have some problems with official methods, like EULAs or whatever?)
I don't think you need to do anything if you are on RTM - I went from NoDo through the betas to RTM on my 3 branded Omnia 7, connect it to Zune and its updating it for me.
@gremmmy
Tried it twice, ended up with a bricked phone twice, unbricked twice thanks god!

This is the most current and up-to-date version of Mango. Plug in, connect to Zune, and update away.
If you're planning on flashing custom roms, I wouldn't update. It just makes it tricky to do afterwards.
If you don't want custom roms, enjoy the already amazing stock Mango experience.
