Hi All,
Successfully executed the Force Update \o/
Took about an hour to complete but it's totally worth it. BB10 launch is a ZERO compared to this major update.
I am So HaPPi right now.
However, I am still lusting for the Yellow Lumia 920 once I save enough for the RRP.
Btw, I am from Singapore.
Cheers

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.

Update: after about an hour of use, this 7.8 update is quite noticeably speedy. Better than 8773 was for my Focus, that's for sure. The new emerald theme also looks GREAT in the AMOLED screen!

Forced it yesterday with the Zune trick on my HTC HD7 in Switzerland...worked just fine the first time I tired...much easier than forcing the Mango update...
Just curious, Apollo is that the WP7.8 update or is that WP8?

Anyone been able to do this (successfully) on a Mac? I'm not getting anywhere trying this ///

Seems like the Windows Phone Mac application barely even realizes that its WiFi has been turned off ???

Couldn't get the Zune update to work but managed to force the update with this tool:
Want Windows Phone 7.8 now? Try this easy tool (Update: Now supports 7720) - Windows Phone Hacker
Works after three attempts (one for each update)
Happy now with my refreshed HTC HD7 and Titan in the UK

Try the Zune trick, 8783 comes with 8858, so if you can get 8783, 8858 is waiting too.

My Lumia 900 is unlocked but branded to Rogers in Canada. Keep trying, it took me a good 20+ tries to get from 8783 to 8858.

I haven't heard anyone on t-mobile in the US getting updated yet, even with the cable trick. I don't think it's in the system yet for me, unfortunately. Has anyone received it for the US htc radar?

On Verizon with an HTC Trophy now running 7.8 thanks to the SeventyEighter tool!

My firmware is 2175.2301.8779.12224 also. I was just about to create a thread about that. I got the 8779 update, then the 8793 and finally the 8858 update.

Me too.. ATT Lumia 900 in NJ. I force updated my phone with the wireless trick. I took out the SIM just in case. My OS is updated to 7.10.8858.136. My firmware though stayed at 2175.2301.8779.12223. Can someone explain whats going on..Do I have to restore my phone to get the new firmware.
Thanks

I also forced the update, I wonder if it's related.. But everything still works fine.

 

[Sandrot]

I have tried the update force and all I get can't find update at this time try again later or make sure your connected to the internet

 

[RattleSnake506]

I got 2 updates. Is there a third one?? Can any of the ATT Lumia 900 owners who got the update confirm what their firmware version is after the updates.
Thanks
