Discussion on tutorial for force-updating to 8107

[simonnyc]

Force update on my Venue Pro worked great however it killed my phone dialer, I hit tile nothing happens. Any suggestions. Went back to 7720 dialer works fine

Same thing happened to me. It's b/c you didn't have the language pack cab file in the folder where you run the update from. Download the correct language pack(s) into that folder and update it.

[MjrSlakr]

moved language into folder replaced update still no dialer, went back to 7720. I'll just wait for the update from T-Mobile (yea right)

Wooo Fixed My Brick

So my phone was bricked after a bad restore and I thought that due to an OS re-install on my PC that I did not have any old restore points....I thought wrong, just found my nodo restore point from September, moved it from the backup location into my C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Phone Update folder and convinced Zune to do a restore, I am running nodo 7.0.7390.0 as we speak!!!

Yay to No paperweights!!!! and also a huge sigh of relief as I can throw away my nokia 2120 I have been using now lol

I tried to restore my Focus S yesterday and my PC crashed (Went Blue Screen) in the middle of the update. I convinced my self that the problem was my C/ drive didn't have enough space to complete the install. So I started moving and deleting files guess what I deleted my restore file... I know I know I of all people should know better. lucky for me I make a system image once a week. After 14 hours of restore watching my Focus S hold paper down I Finlay got my backup file. I tried once again to restore with Zune and got the blue screen of death. Then I read in this thread about using the install tool to do the restore worked like a charm.

2 rules of thumb never I said NEVER delete your restore file and always restore your backup the same way it was made.

I did mine by changing my registery so my carrier was Vodafone and plugged it into zune and it updated. Piece of Cake.

Thanks

Is this still a good update for the Focus Flash?

Gone through 2 phones and just got a new SIM. Still locks.
Just wondering if the ROM image is still viable for me to push to.

I tried updating my Lumia 900 to tango last night using this methed. I installed the tango update as well as the language files (English & Spanish) using the links to the language cabs in the tutorial post. Update was successful except I had all the problems you get from not installing the language cabs. I restored to my back up with no issues.

Anyone have a guess what went wrong for me? I may give it another try today.

 

[brandon_powell]

Apparently even though the Lumina 900 in the us only shows two languages you still need all 22 language cab.

Worked perfectly on my AT&T HTC Titan.

Thanks for the step-by-step. I had put it off, but the disappearing keyboard finally got me so frustrated I couldn't stand it anymore.

Does anyone have any direct links to the files needed for this? I have 2 Titans that have all but been abandoned by AT&T and HTC at this point so I think I'm willing to do this over 'debranding' since that sounds like a nightmare!

I'm trying to do the 7.8 update via the tutorial. I followed the instructions and the whole process completed until I got this error:

Update device ea30826e - 3527d6f7 - c88b23c2 - 76e00133 Complete with error code: 8018004D, error message: IU (Image Update) installation failed on phone: No applicable packages.

Does anyone know what this means?
Oh, I tried to follow the instructions on the Support tool, but when I keep holding camera button after it powers on, it never shows the Connect to Pc screen

 

[RedJaron]

This worked great for my Verizon Trophy after installing the WP Support, thank you. Trying to update a friend's Titan now and it's not working. It never reaches the backup step, instead I get an error:

Error: SystemException: Firmware Device is null at wm7update.Program.UpdateDevice( IDeviceInfo deviceInfo, List`1 updates, UpdateType type ) at wm7update.program.Main( String[] args )

Any suggestions?

Updated my T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 successfully to 7.10.8858.136 after reading through tutorials and suggestions. I shared my experiences in the 710 forum: http://forums.windowscentral.com/lumia-710/215027-wp-7-8-710-t-mobile.html

After the update I noticed that some of the photos in my "Saved Pictures" album no longer show up. They were Bing backgrounds that I downloaded, so it's not a huge deal and they were backed up.

Are there other things I should look out for after the update has been installed to verify it went smoothly?

 

[UnhappySprint]

I tried updating my HTC Arrive (Sprint). I went through the update process and am not sure if it worked. My settings/about says I am running Windows Phone 7.5 OS 7.10.8107.79. Is this the most updated version (equivilent to Windows Phone 7.8)? If so, what features does this actually add because I don't notice any difference?

 

[Skaughtto]

It doesn't sound like your update worked, youshould have seen a major change in your start screen and the latest version is 7.10.8858.136.
