How to force the upgrade to Windows Phone 7.8
A few months ago I learned about a method to force the update of Mango for Windows Phone, a method that consisted of disconnecting the Internet connection to trick Microsoft servers and then proceed with software installation.
And now several sites have reported that this method to force the update also works for Windows Phone 7.8, of course clarifying that they need have a little patience and consistency because it will be required to apply it several times until with a little luck we get the update.In detail the method consists of:
- Connect the mobile to our computer and open Zune (if the update notice pops up, these steps are no longer necessary and you can now enjoy Windows Phone 7.8).
- Deactivate both the 3G connection and the WiFi on the mobile.
- Go to the Phone > Settings section and press Update, right after pressing Update (waiting 1 or 2 seconds) we have to disconnect the Internet connection on the computer , either by unplugging the Ethernet cable or turning off WiFi.
- Yes, after a few seconds the update notice appears, we proceed to install the update remembered reactivate the Internet connection on the computer before installing the update.
- If for no reason the update notice appears you will have to try several times playing with the waiting times before disconnecting the Internet in the computer.
It should be said that this method will not work if the update is not yet on the respective servers, which assures us that the software to be installed would be the official onefor our device.
In addition, according to the Windows Phone update history, the latest version of the operating system would be 7.10.8858.136 so some terminals will have You have to go through intermediate updates until you get this Build.
As we pointed out hours ago, Windows Phone 7.8 is already being released for all terminals, so if they have with a mobile, regardless of the brand, this method would in theory have to work, in the end you don't lose anything in trying it.
