Trick your phone to update to Mango!!!

attachment.php
 
Brilliant stuff :D Optimus 7 on Orange UK and zune kept telling me no update but I try this and I am now getting MANGO :D thanks guys :D
 
Finally, after 10min 40sec the phone restarted and is starting step 8 of 9. The windows splash screen now has the square logo.

Is it weird that I'm eating a fresh mango and feeding my girl Gerber stage 2 mango while we're waiting?

Well my me, my lil girl and my phone are now officially mango'd :)
 
Finally worked for me. Took about 5 or 6 tries.

I have a Trophy on Verizon located in Iowa. I got an update notification about 2 hours ago and updated to 7392. Then Zune has been telling me I'm up to date.

I tried this method and it failed 5 or so times, then I got the update notification to go to 7403, which I'm doing now.

I clicked update, then pulled the ethernet plug. I had cellular data and wi-fi on my phone switched off.

After I got the update notification (in Zune and on my phone simultaneously), I plugged my ethernet back in and click update. About 75% through step 7 of 7403 now.
 
7403 is defently installing. BackUp is in progress :D
Hope the mango update will be shown without that. otherwise there will be more tries xD

Sweet, 7403 is done and now doing 7720...
 
worked on the first try...didn't even disable my phone's wi-fi (though there is no wi-fi signal here at work), just unplugged the ethernet. on step 7 of 10 atm...yay
 
Updated to 7392 first. (Really? I didn't have this before? Hmmm...)

Updating to 7403 now. Had to re-do the trick to get this second update.

I'm headed for 7720, right? That's what I'm looking for?

(Once I get this to work on my phone, I'll go through the process again for my wife, my daughter, and my son. Yup. We're an all WP7 family.)
 
The guys who are installing 7720:

Was mango found just the normal way or did you have to do the whole steps again?

For me, I got 7392 earlier today in the normal process, then got no update notices.

Tried this trick 5 or 6 times and finally got an update notice for 7403...that installed and then it started on 7720 without me doing anything after 7403 was done.
