I've looked just in case AT&T does surprise us... XDA has a link to the original rom if 7.8 does come out. Or if 7.8 causes problems, I can go back to the original OS...
I just reset my Focus via Zune. I did it with the disconnect method, waiting about 3/4 seconds. Took a couple tries, but did the trick (yesterday I tried 20 times with no luck, today it was a success at the 3rd attempt). I went to 8779 first, then 8783 and finally 8858 (had to do the disconnect for each of them). Oh, also, I took the SIM out while I was updating, just in case (so the phone doesn't know I'm using the T-Mobile network, just in case that made things more difficult).
Note that my Focus is the AT&T model but I flashed it long ago with the original retail Rogers ROM (which is practically stock WP original rom) because I hated all the stupid personalizations made by AT&T, so my Focus thinks it's an i917R instead of an i917 - this could be why I was able to do the disconnect thing. In any case, I very highly recommend you ditch the AT&T rom in favor of the clean Rogers one, it's the perfectly clean, non-homebrew original used by Rogers in Canada, so you will get all updates through Zune perfectly normally.

Yeah I've seen in the comments the only Focus users so far to get it through Zune had a Rogers branded Focus or were using the ROM file.
Thanks. I noticed that Deutsch(German) is actual 407 and not 413 (Dutch). Did you push the wrong cab by mistake?To find the right link I'm going to use Spanish for example (I'm not sure where the full list is that tells you what "code" is what. It's on this website, or the XDA website)
Spanish - 0c0a - (doesn't allow me to make the 0 bold, but it should be...)
all you do is look at the end part:
lang_0c0a.pks_29c153eae13ce7184ac8abc63eb6345694e9fce0.cab
my phone needed (and it looks like your does too):
deutsch - 413.pks
english - 409.pks
Spanish - 0c0a.pks
French - 40c.pks
Italian - 410.pks

Everything that i've read says there won't be a 7.8 update for the original samsung focus.

Yup, I just finished updating the second of our 2 Focii to 7.8 via the ROG-CA registry edit and Zune. 2 very different experiences with the 2 phones but both successfully updated.
Still no update for my focus from Rogers... I give up the wait. Hello Z10!
