Lumia 710 8773 update unsuccessful - Microsoft Answers

Here's my post

Has anybody tried to force update? I was thinking about it until I saw someone's comment at the bottom of this post--

How to force update Nokia Lumia 800 & 710 to latest software ‘Tango’ - SymbianTweet

No, I tried the one were you disconnect your phone in the middle of the update, pull the battery for 5 minutes, and then reconnect. Thought I bricked my phone, and it still didn't work. I'll wait until someone else tries this before I do.

Whoa!!! That sounds really, really scary.

I tried that as well. No progress yet?

Lumia 710 on T-Mobile (US) here. Just managed to force update my phone. I posted a quick thing about it here.

It was really painless.

I'm just a bit cautious because of what I've read from other forums and blogs.

Yeah, I think it's probably safer to wait. If you're unlucky it will come at the end of July to the latest.

You're not having any troubles are you? Because I think I will do this.

No, everything works great and it was really easy to force the updates following the steps. I had to force Zune to find an update 3 times total (using the disconnection trick). The Nokia firmware upgrade was automatic. Just make sure you follow the instructions.

But then again, you could wait and be 100% sure the update process will be smooth. After all, forcing the update through Zune is an unofficial and unsupported way to update.

 

[Po_MD]

Yeah.. I think I will wait

 

[Po_MD]

I just realized that you're speaking of the Zune update, not the self-installed .cab file update xD I'm hesitant to do that I've already updated to 8112.

 

[vp710]

Yeah sorry. I may have posted in the wrong thread. The .cab install is even more of a gamble.

Edit: just to confirm I have 8770 and it worked through the Zune method. It's weird I managed to do it but you guys are having problems.

 

[Po_MD]

It is. Nice though. I'm wondering why we get this error out of so many others. Just our luck, right? xD It stops mid-installation for some reason.

 

[Po_MD]

I can't believe I never thought to inquire: what region are you guys with the errors in? I need specifics of its the us(Midwest, east coast etc)

 

[SteelSteve]

I'm on the East Coast (Virginia)

 

[Po_MD]

I'm in the Midwest(Minnesota).. Well, it's not regional.
