Update to Windows Phone 7.8 has started rolling out for the Nokia Lumia 800. The update introduced a WP8-like UI to the first-gen Nokia Lumia phones.
We first reported the roll-out back in December but it turns out, it was just for the pre-prod model only.
Today, reports are coming in that Philippine users can now download WP 7.8 for the final update. To check for the update, just connect your Lumia 800 to your PC/laptop and fire up Zune Media Player to initiate the download.
Since old Lumia phones will not be able to upgrade to WP8 {see reasons here}, Windows Phone 7.8 is the last biggest software update for them.

Did the plug unplug thing to force the update several times pero nothing happened. May kinalaman ba network operator dito? Sun subscriber ako e. Lumia 900 unit ko.

Updated my unlocked Lumia 800 with wpcentral’s cable disconnect trick.
Ian Magpantay says:
I can’t believe it but the “disconnecting trick” does work. Updating my Lumia 610 (globe locked) right now.
5pares says:
meron na po ba for lumia 710?? thanks.
marky says:
I just updated my lumia 900 last feb 1st, then I noticed that battery drops very fast, bluetooth share apps still not working… may be need to go back to 7.5
chazzhie says:
hey guys, my phone is Lumia 800, i tried it several times but nothing happened. Globe-locked ang phone ko. How can I update it into 7.8? Tsaka ano yung disconnection trick? Nakakainis wala kasing pagbabago. :(
5pares says:
disconnection trick..
1. connect ur phone to zune..then click update.
2. count how many seconds it takes before the “your phone is update” message appears.
3. disconnect your phone from zune and connect it again.click update and disconnect your internet one second before the “your phone is updated” appears. (mine took about 8 secs to appear so i counted until 6-7 secs then i disconnected my internet)i used a LAN connection so disconnecting is easier versus a wifi connection..
it took me around 11 tries before i was able to update my fone. there will be three updates so you will do this disconnection trick 3 times.
hope this helps.. im using lumia 719 btw..
chazzhie says:
Currently updating. I hope the force update from seven eighter download works.
jeff says:
Wow. The disconnect trick works! I have Lumia 800.
