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.

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..
5pares says:
lumia 710 i mean..
jeykoolitz says:
unfortunately, i’m not getting the message “a new update is found” maybe you guys have done something else… :-(
chazzhie says:
Currently updating. I hope the force update from seven eighter download works.
chazzhie says:
seven eighter download doesn’t work on my phone. i tried it almost 5 times but still it shows UPDATE UNSUCCESSFUL on my phone.
jeff says:
Wow. The disconnect trick works! I have Lumia 800.
jeykoolitz says:
i have lumia 800 from globe… i really wanna update it to w7.8.. tried all the suggestions here.. still.. didn’t work.. :(
JM says:
Hi jey, unfortunately, you can’t update any WP 7.5 devices to 7.8 right now. Because Microsoft Pulled-out the 7.8 versions from their servers because of the known bugs including the Live Tile issue. You can still upgrade your device using 3rd party application, but that will delete all your data/applications, and will void your warranty.
jeykoolitz says:
thanks JM for the info… now i understand.. i think i’ll just have to wait then…
