[Q] Help, still cannot get the Tango Update - Nokia Lumia 800

I am on TMobile/Orange, my phone is still showing no update. I have tried the Zune trick to force the update, no joy. Anyone else had the same issue?

I think you're fine, still no update on my unbranded one. Same thing for my gf's 710. Microsoft said that all the phones will have gotten the update within the end of the month, but I guess it was just bs.

Nothing for O2 UK 710 Either yet
Click on your country on the left here and see if it has been approved yet

After more than a few attempts of forced "disconnect internet" update with Zune last night I successfully updated my unbranded Lumia 800 in The Netherlands.

I'm on Orange (UK) and got all the updates with the force update last night (6th July) so have a go again and see if it works.

That's because the Orange firmware has been approved, O2 one is still waiting to be approved

Im on O2 here in the uk also, got tired of waiting for the update so did it by myself following the link below.

IMPORTANT If You Try the Disconnect Trick..
Make sure your phone has Wifi OFF and Cellular Data OFF before.
I had almost bricked my phone trying to cab Tango since for some reason the language packs would not install; but then installed Navifirm files updated to Tango by renaming another product's code to match mine, and since the language packs were now resolved, I went ahead and cab'd the Nokia firmware update. This weekend with 7.8 on the horizon and perhaps other updates coming sooner (8779?), I didn't want a walshed phone, so got the 8107 Mango files for my product code (059L7C2) from NCS Data Package Manager, refurbished then went back to Zune to do the Tango update.
After many tries, was not having any luck, even though the Nokia site showed my product 059L7C2 as being available, not to mention at least two others with my same product code reporting the disconnect trick working..
Someone else posted on another thread about turning WIFI and DATA off as a first step. Once I did, after one or two tries the update finally came up.
After the first step - installing 8112 - I had to use the same disconnect to get the update for 8773. Again, with the two items turned
off, there was no trouble at all, the update came right up after I pulled the Ethernet cable.
Once 8773 installed, Zune picked up the Nokia firmware update immediately (no disconnect) so I am finally now running Tango.

Well, as it is now just the 9th of the month I guess we have another three weeks. The rollout started little under two weeks ago and was said to take 3-4 weeks. Add the Zune server lag and you end up end of this month..

Oh well, I'm not in a rush or anything. I'd just love to get it before august, basically because I'm getting a Transformer for my bday so I'd love to have that hotspot thing while I'm on vacation.
Also, for some stupid reason I'm unable to force the update, no matter what...

microsoft has a very weird policy to release updates region wise and not world wide..i guess only thing u can do is to be patient..!!!!
hopefully in the upcoming weeks you might get an update.!!!

Update rollout via Zune is staged meaning not every phone gets the update on the same time. The rollout period is two weeks and started on Jan 19th. You will receive it in the end. There is a 'hack' to get it sooner, put it requires some patients as timing is critical, search for 'disconnect trick'. Good luck.
Thanks. Yes I remember this old trick of disconnecting at the right time, I'm going to wait on this one
You have the same phone as me (UK unlocked & unbranded). The line you don't understand basically means it's a UK variant.
For the mid December update, I waited to get it, took over a week. This time I did the disconnect method and got it on release day.

Hi Rusty, I havn't got the update yeat and I have a UK unlocked Lumia 800. BUT I am wondering on another note. I joined GG last wek and it seems good. I inputted the APN info so I can get on the net but I cant send MMS. I am going to write up a new thread for this now. Can you use MMS and if so how so?
Thanks.
I've not tried, but I'm assuming I cant, as most people on pretty much every carrier cant
Sadly Giffgaff is not included in the Network Setup app either, so we're boned.
Thanks for getting back. Will have to wait and see than. Just don't know why MSFT can't give us this

Exactly in the same situation as OP. I tricked it in zune but i only recieved the OS update and i havent been able to get the firmware update.
Black lumia 800 rm-801
Very strange. I have a stock Lumia straight from Nokia (no branding, unlocked) and I got both the OS and firmware update in one go the day after release. I had to do the disconnect trick though...
I've tried 3 times. I got the OS update automatically on day one. I restored to 7740 and tried again. Still OS only. Tried a few days later and got the same thing.
Waiting up to 8 more days for firmware.
I am still waiting for the 11500 update as well and I sincerely hope Nokia have done something to improve the woefull bass output.

Still waiting for the firmware update. I got the OS update a few days ago and my mate got the firmware and OS the same day. Only difference is his is the black lumia 800 and mine is the Cyan lumia 800
Mine is cyan as well. Did ur mate notice any differnce to sound? We are hoping for more bass

Thanks, Lets hope they fixed it. It is just crap on mine, can't use it at all as music player specially as I loke loads of bass. I use winstone 4 and the sound is a disgrace for Nokia.
Can someome point me to a thread/post where the disconnect method is described?
Click update, after a couple of seconds, pull your ethernet cable/disable your net connection and if you timed it right, you'll get the update.
Still no FW update, but I have updated my OS with the disconnect-trick in Zune. Will I still get the FW or not trough Zune?

I originally did the disconnect trick and the only update I got was for the OS. I tried again and again using the disconnect trick but I could not get the firmware update.
Then my friend got the update for his Black Lumia 800 which contained the firmware update as well. So I restored my Cyan Lumia 800 to the previous version. The very first boot up of my phone said there was an update available but it was only for the OS, no firmware.
I tried the disconnect trick again but I still can't get the firmware update.
Hopefully we will all get it this week.

Good news! Nokia have released a statement saying they will be releasing another update to fix both the sound and camera.

I tried the disconnect method but can't get working. I switch to Airplane mode, plug the phone, go to update page on Zune. Do the same again and disconnect at various time but no luck.
I have already the 8107 OS update

Late, but 12070 update has finally arrived for Orange/T-Mobile Lumia 800

Late, but finally update 12070 has arrived on the Lumia 800 for Orange/T-Mobile users, so start updating and if you're on the Singapore FW, I suggest you recover from backup and update.
Stupid Orange/T-Mobile, always late.
Still no update
Still no update for me
I have an unbranded Lumia 800 cyan from Phones4U on Orange but no update available in Zune despite Nokia Europe saying that it's available for my model (059M539 Country Variant). I swapped my Orange sim for a Vodafone sim to see if that did anything. . . nothing. recovered a backup in Zune and updated the OS again, but still no Firmware update to 12070.
If it doesn't come soon I'll take it to Nokia Care next time we're in Glasgow as this battery life is terrible (although seemed slightly better on the Vodafone sim!)
I didn't really want to start looking at the other methods I've seen of updating Just wanted to get it officially in Zune!
On searching the issue, I've seen a lot of users of 059M539 code have also not been getting the upgrade.
Same here, same model nr. Cyan Lumia from Phones4U, Orange Sim, also from Glasgow.
Oddly enough I have the latest OS version, just not the latest firmware version. Now that the volume bug is fixed I'm tempted to force a flash bypassing Zune.

Cyan models are delayed for some reason, but it should have arrived by now. Get in contact with Phones4U, see if they have any dates, since it is a batch of theirs.
Got sick of waiting so I used the update tool
Initial findings, it has improved the battery, can easily get a full day even with quite a lot of use!

I've never heard of retailers blocking updates before? However, it does seem possible as I'm seeing several reports of that specific product no not updating. Note that Nokia specifically lists it as having an update available since pretty much day 1 of the firmware being made public. I've posted a query on P4U's forum. Should have known better than to buy from those muppets, but they were the only ones at the time that had the cyans. Someone I know wants the white Lumia 710, but it's another P4U exclusive
mlaidlaw, did you update directly to 12072 with the volume bug fix, or still 12070?

Yep, I mocking how the blue plastic makes my phone somehow ineligible for software updates.
On a more serious query, does having an Orange Sim in my unbranded model phone mean that Orange still has to approve my firmware versions? I'd assume that Carriers only have a say over their branded variants?
I'm still baffled how a specific subset of a particular product code (a product code that has had the upgrade available from the day of announcement according to the Nokia sit) is being left behind? Apple really does get some things right, not letting the Carriers dictate software updates.

No, if you have unbranded you can get the updates for unbranded devices
Yes, Nokia pushed the update, but Orange (one step further) blocked it again It's possible... Unfortunately.

UK ICS

Really? I got mine 2 days ago. I am on UK t-mobile.
When you do get it, one tip. Once it is installed, reboot then leave the phone alone for 20 minutes or so. The walkman app would constantly crash for me. It was only when I looked a the debug logs that I found it was rebuilding the media database. This took ages.
I miss the volume on the lock screen, access to the settings menu from the menu key on the launcher, but otherwise its all good. Oh, and Gallery is now called Albums. Took me a few minutes to work that out.

can you upload ftf please
Sim free UK.. no sign of ICS, TBH the phone works very well with 2.3.7.. more concerned with the wee blotches that pop up every so often.

Same here, and it's not as if there's any bloat in the tmobile firmware only the tmobile app that you can download from the play store
there ain't a Generic NL ICS either
I checked this morning and no update was available, but plugged my phone in this afternoon and it says an update is now available (I have already updated to .75, so it must be ICS?). It goes through the process of downloading the update, but at the install stage it says no software found! Very frustrating...
Edit - I'm using PC Companion, and the problem seems to be that as soon as it starts to install the update the phone shuts down and loses connection to the PC, so the update fails...

Yep, with 3. The new software version is 6.1.A.0.452, which I've just checked definitely is ICS. SO frustrating I just can't get the update to install. The update downloaded fine, but when it gets to the actual update stage the phone shuts down and the update fails.
So 3 are actually good for some things! I actually wrote to David Dyson this morning asking to be released from my contract - they have messed me about massively - broke my phone then in comical fashion failed to fix it, and then offered me a HTC Chacha or HTC Desire C in it's place!!! I would have laughed if I wasnt so offended!
Edit: 7th time is a charm and I now have ICS on generic UK with 3...

i've tried sony update service (the one where you switch phone off, hold volume while connecting usb), tried pcc, tried ota from the phone, always says i'm up to date.

Have you received an OTA Update?

This morning I realized that my phone had not received any OTAs yet, so I sideloaded the MDA89D to MDB08K zip (find it here) and then got the MDB08L OTA notification as soon as the phone booted up.
In talking with friends with a 6P and looking at other threads, there seem to be a lot of users that are still on the factory MDA89D build, so I'm wondering if the delay is carrier specific.
FWIW, I activated my 6P without a SIM card and then have been using it with T-Mobile. Checking available updates always showed nothing was available.
It seems like Verizon users are not getting OTAs yet, as expected from an existing thread. T-Mobile users *should* be getting one since they are turning Band 12 off with it.

OTA got nothing to do with carrier you are on.
Sent from my Nexus 6P
I did not receive the OTA, but I did flash the new factory image as soon as I unlocked the bootloader.
yes just received phone in the mail today after setting everything up I got the OTA update installed with no problem
I simply just change the date few weeks forward. I didn't receive both updates soon so I just fast forwarded date a little. Then updates pop up on both times. Should give it a try before going on a manual flash route.
Didn't have to do anything, it just arrived while I was updating my S5 to 5.1.1.
Was reading an article recently where a Google engineer explained how updates go.
1% get the update first, if no problems
25% get the update, if no problems
50% get the update, if no problems
Etc etc
No mention of a time frame between percentages though.
I got the device Friday, on k version, got the l update earlier today.
Expect to see them monthly as Google is releasing security updates on a monthly basis now.
Need one for carrier less. Updated before putting sim in.
Got an OTA this AM on Fi Sittin on MDB08L. I have an unlocked bootloader as well.
I got my 6P today and turned it on. As soon as I signed into my Google account it told me that I required a software update. Didn't even finish the setup wizard before it downloaded and installed.
I ordered through Project Fi as soon as I got my invite. They sent the sim with it and I put it in and turned it on. Boom, update.
Yep got one today.

Interesting method, if the updates are IMEI based as it is believed, this shouldn't work.

It's interesting to see that, so far, most voters who have not received an update are on another carrier (or carrier-less), or Verizon. I was interested in seeing what Sprint users are experiencing, but there has only been one Sprint user voting so far (a friend on Sprint has not received any).

Already flashed the update through mskip's toolkit. No wiping of data required though it flashes the whole ROM, not just the update (900mb).
I'm on AT&T. I got the first OTA when I turned the phone on for the first time, but where the hell is the November security patch? I thought it was supposed to start rolling out on November 1, yet it is November 10 and I still don't have it? What the hell Google? I understand a slow rollout of a major update, but security patches should be available to everyone on day 1, if not automatically, then sure as hell if they press the damn update button in settings. This is why companies don't take Google seriously when they talk about security.
I click "Check for Update" and nothing happens, says last time it was checked was November 30th. Tried rebooting, rebooting with no sim card . . . any ideas??
Just got one. Taking FOREVER to optimize apps. Painfully slow.
Just got my update through Telus in Canada. Installing right now.
just got 128gb 6P and got it activated on Sprint .. OTA about 15-20min after

BLA-L09 8.0.0.124 (c782) uK

As above, is there anyway to download the above firmware other than funkyHuawei? I dont think its right i should have to pay $35 for 5 credits when Huawei should release the OTA update to fix several problems with there device, especially a phone that doesn't work over WiFi!
I guess you could email Huawei, or your operator. It doesn't exist outside of FH, not sure how he got his hand on it.
Or you could rebrand to C432 or C636.
No way to do this unfortunately. You could contact Huawei but they will ask for your IMEI, then tell you the update is being rolled out.
Luckily I don't have the WiFi problem, but a few other smaller problems which could do with an update.
Maybe the phone doesn't like certain routers. Not sure.
I emailed Huawei last week but doubt anything good will come out of it. So is the firmware over at FH unofficial?

A select few have said they got it as an OTA so I don't think so, unless they used FH
I talked to Huawei live chat and they confirmed that this update is rolling out to UK users, just a waiting game.
I'd use funkyhuawei if it was a one time purchase but having to buy 'credits' every time I want to flash an update just doesn't justify value to me.
Guess I'll wait for the OTA

Guess I'll wait for the OTA

Exactly, why should we pay for a official ota update !!!! What is really bugging me is the fact im having to use my data plan as the WiFi doesn't work. If i dont get a ota very soon im going to return my handset as i dont get long to return anyway.

I'm the same mate, I've got until tomorrow. Going to try the Huawei live chat again tomorrow to see if they can force an update. If not I'll see what three can do

Let me know how you get on, im still waiting on an email reply as the chat was down. I bought mine sim free from amazon so i dont see why im waiting for a OTA unless its because i stuck a Vodafone sim card in it?
Hi, I got the BLA-L09 8.0.0.124 update about a fortnight ago (bought unlocked from CPW in Nov.) and did receive the update OTA..... did NOT buy anything from FH. So, can confirm it is a UK OTA update, so, should roll-out eventually...bit of a pain though for anybody playing the IMEI waiting game...
When checking for ota, sometimes you have to click the 3 dots in the upper right and click install full package.
Another thing sometimes i was getting ota update on Huawei's phones after a factory reset directly,i would do it from the stock recovery,but don't feel bad if this doesn't work for you, it's up to you if you can't wait and want to try.

Think I am going to send it back. Apart from having a bit better battery and brighter screen than my U11+, the software is a mess and the audio via every dongle is worse.
Don't think the sim card you used has anything to do with it really. Just IMEI lottery which is stupid tbh lol
What is in this update? In the Change Log it says, "No information". Google search doesn't return much except a reddit thread where someone said, "I purchased a sim free mate 10 pro from CPW which was running 115 (c782) flashed this fine but since I always get an EE app even after a factory reset, help?" I too bought Sim Free from Carphone Warehouse and am worried I'll get EE spam on my phone (I'm an EE subscriber), so need to know if it is worth updating.

If you pay the money and update via FunkyHuawei you will likely get some EE branding. If you wait for the official OTA update, it will stay with the carrier branding you have at the moment.
It appears that FunkyHuawei has managed to get hold of the EE version of the latest firmware.
Three?

Good luck with that!
Still no reply from Huawei, they have till the end of the week to reply back to me otherwise im sending it back for a one plus 5T. The more i use the phone the more faults i find, Today i used google maps to navigate me to an address, is so jerky and not smooth at all, really bad.
I spoke with Huawei regarding the bugs I have with this phone on firmware 115 and the update to fix them.
They took my imei . They told me there was an update that is approved for ota waiting for me.
I told them both ota and hi suite say there is no update for my phone.
They then tell me the update is automated and rolled out in batches and I must then wait for the update notification....

If the update is approved for ur iemi than factory reset Should trigger it,you can try wiping cache first in stock recovery.
