Still cannot update my unlocked Lumia 710...???

Windows Phone 7.8 update was released back in February(or was it Jan end?),and ever since,I have hooked up my phone almost everyday to my PC and fired up Zune to check for updates....and every time Zune has assured me that I have the latest software(7.10 Build 8779)....even today.I am based in India.
A few weeks back I called up Nokia support and the customer rep requested me to go visit a Nokia Care outlet...So, may I ask why did Nokia and/or MS ever come out with the good-for-nothing Zune if the only way of getting updates was to go visit the nearby Nokia Care outlet?
Any solutions anyone?I have skimmed through lots of forums and do not want to flash my phone with some 3rd party software which promises it pulls the update from the Nokia update server.....Also suggestions on how/where to escalate this issue are welcome.Also,is anyone else facing this issue?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are many, many posts here and elsewhere on this. Teh update was halted due to some issues found by MSFT and has only been restarted a few days ago. Not much more anyone here can tell you but to be patient. As soon as the updat eis available for your phone it will present itself by a notification after which you can use Zune to update.

    Most likely, you have an iPhone 3GS not a 4s.  See this to identify your model:

  • Months later and I still cannot update to IOS 5.1!!!

    You name it, Ive tried it.  Done all the different trouble shooting bits and bobs, ie uninstalled security, itunes reinstalled ,disabled apple mobile, used a different pc, etc yet still i cannot update my ipad?
    I even ventured to my local Apple store and the assistant had the same problem and couldn't help me either!
    Is it only my Ipad having this problem?  Why can't the Apple people see this device either??
    Apart from throwing the thing in the bin does anyone else have any suggestions of what I can do that might work please?
    Hoping someone will suggest something that I haven't already tried and will work.
    Thanks in hopeful anticipation but i'm not holding my breath........!
    Thank you..
    Below I have pasted the last thing I tried that still didnt work...
    From the Start menu, click All Programs and click Accessories.
    Click Run. A Run window (command prompt) appears.
    Type msconfig in the Open field and click OK.
    If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. The System Configuration Utility opens.
    Click the General tab.
       Select the "Selective Startup" option.
    Deselect the "Load Startup Items" checkbox.
    Note: This step requires disabling third-party System Services and Startup Items, which can prevent some software or OEM hardware on your computer from working correctly. For example, this can affect the CD/DVD control buttons on portable computers or prevent wireless keyboards and mice from functioning. This is only required during troubleshooting to help isolate third-party conflicts with Apple software.
    Click the Startup tab.
    Select the "iTunes" and "QuickTime" checkboxes in the list.
    Click the Services tab.
    Make sure that "Hide All Microsoft Services" is selected.
    Click Disable All.
    Note: If you are troubleshooting an issue related to iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, select the Apple Mobile Device checkbox.
    Click OK.
    Click Restart. After restarting (and logging in to Windows), a message may appear stating that Windows has blocked startup programs and indicates the Blocked startup programs icon in the notification area (far right) of the taskbar. Click the message.
    Click the Blocked startup programs icon, select Run blocked program and select System Configuration Utility.
    If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue. A window appears confirming that "You have used the System Configuration Utility to make changes to the way Windows starts." Click OK. The System Configuration Utility appears. Do not click OK here as this will prompt you to restart again. First try to reproduce the issue you were having.
    If following these steps resolves the issue, you may want to use the System Configuration Utility to turn on the third-party System Services and Startup Items one or a few at a time (restarting your computer after turning on the item or items) to identify which System Service or Startup Item is causing the conflict. You can turn all of them back on by selecting the Normal Startup option under the General tab of the System Configuration Utility window, but please note that this may cause the issue to recur.
    Additional Information
    If the issue is still occurring with Selective Startup mode, third-party security software may still be operating regardless of the state of Msconfig. Follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • How to update my Nokia Lumia 710?

    Sir I want to update my window software of my Nokia lumia 710 as windows 8 or 7.8. So how can I do??
    Moderator's note: The post was edited. A better subject was provided.

    @IRFAN_aadat if you are on Windows, you need Microsoft Zune. In Mac OS X, your need the Windows Phone-App. However, which software version and which firmware version do you have? The last update was last year!

  • 1600.3031.8779.12180 update for nokia lumia 710

    Hi , I am using Nokia lumia 710 ..
    My phone's firmware version is - 1600.3031.8773.12121 and one of my friend's phone is running on 1600.3031.8779.12180 ...
    Why i didn't got that update .....
    My phone is 059M161 same as my friends RM code
    please tell me how can i update my device because i also tried Zune but it is also not showing any updates
    Please help me
    Moderators notes: IMEI number removed.

    Here's an example for you to understand.
    Let say, you just bought a phone with the earliest firmware. And you planned to upgrade your phone to the latest firmware. When you update it through Zune, it will automatically update the first update, then second update, third update until the latest update. It will update all those one by one and it will tell you to unplug your phone when the latest update is updated on your phone.
    Your friend's phone is updated, but probably not on the latest one.
    Anyway, you might want to check your phone for the latest update. It is available for your phone according on your product code. If your phone has camera extras, Internet Sharing and Flip-To-Silence features, it means your phone is fully updated to the latest update.
    You can check this website for more information.
    http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/lumia/software-update-for-nokia-lumia
    And here's your phone's product code that is actually available for the update.
    http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/lumia/apac/software-update-availability-for-noki...
    Hope this may helps you.

    Hi all!
    Good news! We have brought forward the software update schedule for our Nokia Lumia 710, and have begun rolling out the latest update 1600.3015.8107.12070 to India and Singapore. We will add more countries and variants to the rollout based on market requests.
    The new Lumia 710 update brings the following enhancements:
    • Smoother device performance (when ending a call) as well as
    • other minor performance and usability improvements
    As soon as the update is available for you, your phone will display a notification on your Homescreen or you can check for available updates manually by going to Settings > phone update. To update your phone, please follow those 4 steps:
    1.   Install the Zune software (Windows) or Windows Phone 7 Connector (Mac OS) on your computer. You'll need this software to download the phone update.
    2.   Connect your phone to your computer, using the USB cable that came with your phone.
    3.   If the Zune software or Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac doesn't start automatically when you connect your phone, start it manually.
    4.   In the Zune software, click Update Now (in Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac, click Install Updates). Make sure you keep your phone connected to your computer until you see a notification that the update is complete.

    Well La Dee Dah Yvonne . . . I got news for you . . . 3 different nokia employess at 3 different times and days told me that they have no idea when a new update will be out. Infact one of them went so far as to tell me to sell of my phone and buy a new one if i'm not happy with it and guess what . . . Thats EXACTLY what i did. I had 2 Nokia Lumia 710's. A black one for myself and a white one for my wife. Well so taking your Nokia Employees enlightened advice I went and bought a black Samsung Galaxy S II for myself and a white one for my wife . . . And trust me when i say this but i'm going to go around telling anyone who cares to listen how Nokia cheated a custome who's been loyal to them for the last 22 YEARS. Adios Nokia and i'm glad to say it's NOT Au-Revoir

  • Cannot update my nokia lumia 1020 fully...

    Hello all,
    I have contacted Nokia recently and all they suggest is a factory reset,but firstly the only computer I have is a WINXP computer(which is not supported for backup) and secondly,I don't want to spend hours(If I could backup) reloading stuff back on the phone for an update issue!
    Hope you guys can help..Here is my scenerio...Completely NOT my fault
    I have two phones on my account,BOTH are the same exact phone models,which are Nokia Lumia 1020's. 
    When the update FIRST came out for Cyan a while back,I was one of those ones (foolishly now I might add)to jump right on the update and download it when it first became available(within two days)...It went through and installed successfully,phone came on..no problem or so I thought...However,I was missing the "Cortana" feature on the phone! Everything else was there except for "Cortana"...It wasn't listed under the "applications" either. 
    Now this is where it gets funky. My wife who has the other SAME model phone decided to WAIT to update her phone until 3 days ago. Guess what? It went through with no issues as mine had,but she now HAS Cortana installed on her phone!!!
    The only difference in the settings for phone information between my phone and her phone is the "Hardware Revision number" which for me is 3.3.0.2.    Hers is 3.3.0.3.
    Everything else including the OS version,firmware,etc..etc...is exactly the same on both phones. 
    I contacted Nokia and the only thing they could tell me was to check my date and time and region on the phone,which was already of course set correctly to US and the proper time zone and date.
    If I go in and try and run the "check for updates" now on my phone,it tells me that there are no updates available,and my phone is up to date. 
    GRRRRR!
    Now they recommend a factory reset and a "Tool" on their website which will erase all data on the phone and put a spanking new OS reinstall on my phone,but it will wipe out all my contents. Like I said before,I cannot backup because of my XP system which is not supported. Why should I have to format anyway,since this was SUPPOSED to be a simple OS upgrade which should not force me to do this. If they tested it extensively before they shot it out to the public when they first released it,they would have seen that "Cortana" was missing. Evidently they have fixed that bug,but I am still upset because I basically want Nokia to send me (or to email me)a link to download a executable file to my phone that could reinstall the OS without going through this factory reset crap. They won't do anything like this...This is their muckup,releasing a incomplete update.How was I supposed to know that the update they released for download at that time was incomplete?  Since this is clearly their issue,I believe they should help me resolve it by "pushing" a force reinstall on my particular phone without having to go through an unnecessary factory reset,and then the major pain of putting everything back on the phone(and that's if I had the proper computer in the first place!)  I know Nokia could do this if they wanted to. All they need is the hardcore details on my phone. 
    I'm not very happy with Nokia service on this,and thought they would help me to a greater extent than this.  I guess my only other option is to "WAIT" for them to put out another update for the phone,and then try and install that. But who knows when that is going to be? I can't enjoy a nice feature on the phone for all this time,but my wife can. This sucks. After this fiasco,You can bet I'm surely not going to download it immediately after release as I may run into the same problem and bugs are still in it. 
    Anyone with any ideas/suggestions/support?  I'd love to hear from ya,thanks to all for reading.

  • Security code is invalid. - Cannot Update or Purchase Apps

    Same issue as so many others. Again (this happened before but all I had to do was renter my credit card info). I was able to delete account and re-enter in both iTunes or online and it worked but not this time. Either the recent Safari update, iTunes update or iOS 4 killed the ability to use my nextwave Titanium Pre-paid credit card which I was using for over a year and a half with no problem. I was shipped a new card a few months ago, but up until yesterday, it was working absolutely fine for updates and purchases on the iTunes Music Store in Canada, even with a new security code. As it stands I can't update any of my apps now and no changing of the credit card through either iTunes, Apple.ca, or the iPhone seems to allow my security code.
    After speaking with Apple Canada Tech this morning, it appears to be an issue with prepaid cards. However, I do not use another credit card, and it has worked just fine prior to updates. I shouldn't have to pick up a prepaid iTunes card just to perform updates on my apps, especially when all was fine prior to the iTunes, iOS, or Safari updates. Easily 3 hours wasted trying to get this resolved so far.
    Incredibly frustrating especially to a long-time Apple product user (over 20 years). I'm going to stop trusting updates again and hold off doing any since there never seems to be enough people/time allocated to the bug testing departments to fix these issues. Please Apple, let's get these things fixed before the product's release. You're killing the excitement of new releases and updates again.
    Also: when the iPhone brings up the first dialog box that says you must tap 'OK' to sign in, and the dialog button actually says 'Continue', perhaps they should be the same word to show some consistency.

    Just thought I'd try reentering my prepaid credit card info again using all of the various ways (iTunes, Apple.ca/Store, iPhone, and MobileMe) and of course nothing worked. Still an invalid security code or even invalid number. Of course, no response from Apple on here and the phone support tells me to try a pre-paid iTunes card. Isn't that tantamount to bait-and-switch when my original credit card worked in the first place? And what if I don't have a budget for that?
    It's clear that these credit card issues are affecting a large number of users as Google searches turn up plenty of forum postings about these topics, not only on Apple's boards but other web forums. If there was at least some acknowledgment of the problems and an attempt to fix them, or some kind of iTunes store credit given in the meantime, it would go a long way to building goodwill among your client base.
    As an Apple user of over 20 years, I have never seen as many bugs as I have in the last few years. In my humble opinion, while these forums are an excellent start, clearly they are not monitored enough and there is not enough done to correct these problems.
    My iPhone 3G is now not only running incredibly slow thanks to iOS 4, but I still cannot update apps - even the free ones - which may solve some of the slow software issues and crashes. Sure, purchasing can be done with a prepaid iTunes card, but that's a practice one shouldn't have to resort to when your original card worked in the first place.
    Very frustrated with this great company. You are capable of much better.

    Do you mean the new, tall ones just released?  
    Try just re-selecting the drive as the destination.
    If that doesn't help, try a hard reset of the Airport per Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ (if you do have the new model, that article may not apply to it. See the Setup Guide that came with it).
    If still no help, try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • HT4623 My iPad refuses to acknowledge any updates beyond 5.1.1! I cannot update it no matter what I try. HELP!

    During a recent "***?!" situation, and the resultant complete restore to factory default, my husband's iPad will not update!
    Fast forward a few weeks when we get our new iMac and though we were instructed to make different users to allow each of us to use our different devices, we still cannot update his. While my iPad2 updates flawlessly, my husband's refuses to acknowledge there is even an update past the 5.1.1! He's frustrated as you all likely know, apps are beginning to require that the pad is updated as well. I'm feeling some guilt here because mine is working.
    Please...help me alleviate my guilt!!

    What model iPad does he have ? If it's a first gen iPad then 5.1.1 is the highest version that it supports
