How to Force Install Windows Phone 7.8 Update

1. Will this work with Lumia 510??

2. “UpdateWP.exe Failed … Two or more packages in the update contain the same file.%” Any ideas ? Thanks!

3. Yes, it should work for all Lumia phones which is running on 7.5 Mango.

4. Can you share more details on this error, like when this is happening? or probably a screenshot?

5. Yes!!

6. is market still available after i upgrade 7.8

   thanks anyway

7. how to install the old version 7.5 with nokia lumia 800?

8. You cannot downgrade.

9. Yes its there.

10. will this work for at&t samsung focus

11. Does it work? Yes, but it’s a little more involved than what is described here.

    First, it requires the installation of the Windows Phone Engineering Flashing Tool. Sure, the SevenEight updater will automatically download them for you, but it is an extra step.

    Second, the tool is archived in a .rar file. If you don’t already have WinRAR installed on your PC, or some other extraction tool which supports the format, that’s an extra step.

    Third, it might actually force Zune to do an update, as well. In my case, after running through the process using the SevenEight updater on my Lumia 900, and updating to Windows Phone 7.8, Zune informed me that I had an update, requiring me to go through the process of updating my phone (this time through Zune) again.

    So, yes, it works, but it’s not exactly as advertised…

12. @Chico,
    SevenEight tool will automatically download everything needed, you do not have to worry about and thats the reason it was not mentioned. Now regarding WinRAR, if you go to finer details, probably I’ll have to write, you will need a Windows OS and a browser and Internet connection before doing this steps :-)
    Zune update happens only if you have not updated previously and it does not happens to all and Zune update is not required if you run the tool multiple times and we have mentioned this in the article.

13. Not sure on Focus, probably you will need to check with the app developer.

14. @Nirmal, Yes, as I noted, “SevenEight updater will automatically download them for you, but it is an extra step.” I’m just pointing out the extra steps that a noob may have to go through. As for the Zune update, I was already at 7.10.8779.8 (Tango) prior to using the tool. While I realize that there is a 7.10.8783.12 update out there, not sure why it would be necessary to install them sequentially, instead of rolling directly to 7.10.8858.136. But, I’m a Server Admin, NOT a Windows Phone programmer, so I can only assume the need for the sequental update. Although I did not check the versions between what SevenEight applied, and what Zune applied, I’m guessing that’s what happened.

15. thank you very much i really needed the update (i’m in austria and its not even nearly getting out! it was really easy and safe 2 do this ;) thx

16. Does it work on HTC HD7??
    It does not lags on the phone???

17. I’m not sure on HTC HD7, there is no lag on Lumia phones.

18. The Bluetooth Share App is not installed and also the Camera Applications is not yet installed is there any solutions about this???

19. What do you mean by Not installed ? DO you have the 7.8 update ?

20. What language pack should I pick? I live in the US this is my first time

21. Oh and it says I have to download something when I click install wp7.8. I downloaded it so what do I do?

22. You need to have all the language packs selected on the app which are currently there in your phone. So go to settings in phone and see the languages available.

23. Can you please share the exact details on this or a screenshot.

24. Hi Nirmal, can you upload a version for Win32…When I try to install the exe it says it is not a valid Win32 application.

25. have done successfully…..but still bluetooth is not working…plz advice….FYI..i have tried both the way with the SW provided by Nokia (Bluetooth share) and general bluetooth option….plz advise…plz

26. I’ve updated my 710 using this method but the maximum volume is 19/30. How do I fix it?

27. bluetooth share
    problem

28. This works beautifully on my HTC Radar …..had to restart it a couple times but it eventually installed all my missing updates ….Thanks!!

29. while updating should I select languages listed in Setting/Keyboard or listed in setting/region+languages/Display Languages ?

30. I can’t update my lumia … It just keep on saying , zunecfg.dll is missing , reinstall the program again.. What should i do? I did everything but still nothing happens

31. Copy the zunecfg.dll file from your zune installation folder to C:\Program FIles\Zune. So my zune isn’t installed there, it is in C:\Program FIles (x86)\Zune. Perhaps yours is also there.
    Think the updater choosed the wrong zune location because of my update from windows 7 to windows 8 on the laptop.

32. of course the locations are C:\Program Files…
    sorry for the mistake ;)

33. Is this working on lumia 800 for M1variant phone from singapore….official update for this phone is not released…!
