I think the update failed

Well, I read on engadget that the big update had arrived. I hooked my phone up to Zune and got the message that an update was ready. So it through the process and failed. I hooked up my phone to another computer and it went through the steps and then it told me my phone was updated and could be disconnected. Now, nothing is different. Nothing. I did a hard reset on my phone and tried again, but now Zune tells me it's up to date.

I have OS Version 7.0.7008.0. What does that mean?

Anyway, I'm starting to regret my decision to get this phone. Maybe I should have got the mytouch 4G.

Your version is different from my (still stock) HD7 -> 7.0.7004, but if this (http://www.engadget.com/photos/htc-hd7s-hands-on/#3991691) is any indication, you don't have the "big" update yet.

My guess is you got the "pre-update" they were talking about in Jan/Feb (which is included in the package that is being rolled out now).

Did you get an OTA message? The rollout is "staggered", meaning groups of phones are targeted and enabled one at a time. If you didn't get an OTA update message, you won't see the update yet.

I just got the notification when I plugged into Zune. Didn't get it over the air. i guess I just got the stupid teaser update. Screw them. Whey can't they make it available to everyone at once?

Exact same thing with me Jimmer.  I did the update, but I think it was just a mini-update, not the NoDo one that Engadget is referring to.  I don't see how it's T-Mo that sends the update out, but you have to update through Zune.

All of the carriers have to test the update to make sure that it's not going to mess up their networks.  After the testing is done, they tell MS the update is good to go.  They do a staggered push to end users for a couple of reasons.  One, in case there is an issue with the update breaking phones, they can pull the update before everyone gets it.  Two, they don't have the network bandwidth to push it out to everyone in one shot.  This is true of any smart phone OS on any network...

You can manually force the updates. That what i did to get mine working.
