FW: 1600.2479.7740.11451
HW : 112.1402.2.4
Carrier : CV UK SW variant ID222 v02 (don't know what it means)

Update rollout via Zune is staged meaning not every phone gets the update on the same time. The rollout period is two weeks and started on Jan 19th. You will receive it in the end. There is a 'hack' to get it sooner, put it requires some patients as timing is critical, search for 'disconnect trick'. Good luck.
Thanks. Yes I remember this old trick of disconnecting at the right time, I'm going to wait on this one
You have the same phone as me (UK unlocked & unbranded). The line you don't understand basically means it's a UK variant.
For the mid December update, I waited to get it, took over a week. This time I did the disconnect method and got it on release day.

Hi Rusty, I havn't got the update yeat and I have a UK unlocked Lumia 800. BUT I am wondering on another note. I joined GG last wek and it seems good. I inputted the APN info so I can get on the net but I cant send MMS. I am going to write up a new thread for this now. Can you use MMS and if so how so?
Thanks.
I've not tried, but I'm assuming I cant, as most people on pretty much every carrier cant
Sadly Giffgaff is not included in the Network Setup app either, so we're boned.
Thanks for getting back. Will have to wait and see than. Just don't know why MSFT can't give us this

Exactly in the same situation as OP. I tricked it in zune but i only recieved the OS update and i havent been able to get the firmware update.
Black lumia 800 rm-801
Very strange. I have a stock Lumia straight from Nokia (no branding, unlocked) and I got both the OS and firmware update in one go the day after release. I had to do the disconnect trick though...
I've tried 3 times. I got the OS update automatically on day one. I restored to 7740 and tried again. Still OS only. Tried a few days later and got the same thing.
Waiting up to 8 more days for firmware.
I am still waiting for the 11500 update as well and I sincerely hope Nokia have done something to improve the woefull bass output.

Still waiting for the firmware update. I got the OS update a few days ago and my mate got the firmware and OS the same day. Only difference is his is the black lumia 800 and mine is the Cyan lumia 800
Mine is cyan as well. Did ur mate notice any differnce to sound? We are hoping for more bass

Thanks, Lets hope they fixed it. It is just crap on mine, can't use it at all as music player specially as I loke loads of bass. I use winstone 4 and the sound is a disgrace for Nokia.
Can someome point me to a thread/post where the disconnect method is described?
Click update, after a couple of seconds, pull your ethernet cable/disable your net connection and if you timed it right, you'll get the update.
Still no FW update, but I have updated my OS with the disconnect-trick in Zune. Will I still get the FW or not trough Zune?

I originally did the disconnect trick and the only update I got was for the OS. I tried again and again using the disconnect trick but I could not get the firmware update.
Then my friend got the update for his Black Lumia 800 which contained the firmware update as well. So I restored my Cyan Lumia 800 to the previous version. The very first boot up of my phone said there was an update available but it was only for the OS, no firmware.
I tried the disconnect trick again but I still can't get the firmware update.
Hopefully we will all get it this week.

Good news! Nokia have released a statement saying they will be releasing another update to fix both the sound and camera.

I tried the disconnect method but can't get working. I switch to Airplane mode, plug the phone, go to update page on Zune. Do the same again and disconnect at various time but no luck.
I have already the 8107 OS update

I recently received a Lumia 800 and am trying to get it on the latest firmware. Zune already install 8107, but the firmware update beyond 11451 isn't showing up. I tried the airplane mode, disable internet trick but it just says I have no updates available.
Does anyone know if all 800s should be getting this update?
Seems like a lot of them don't have it. Mine got 8107 but I still can't get the firmware update either.
What carrier are you on? Some few carriers decide themselves not to accept the update and not push it out I believe. It's up to the carriers themselves to distribute the updates and not MS. My guess is you are on some US carrier. The update should be out by now for everyone.
The update hasn't been rolled out for every product code yet. I just checked with navifirm and quite a few product codes are still stuck with version 11451. Same old nokia crap with product codes.

I see. Thanks for the clarification. My post is still true for some though!
Late, but finally update 12070 has arrived on the Lumia 800 for Orange/T-Mobile users, so start updating and if you're on the Singapore FW, I suggest you recover from backup and update.
Stupid Orange/T-Mobile, always late.
Still no update
Still no update for me
I have an unbranded Lumia 800 cyan from Phones4U on Orange but no update available in Zune despite Nokia Europe saying that it's available for my model (059M539 Country Variant). I swapped my Orange sim for a Vodafone sim to see if that did anything. . . nothing. recovered a backup in Zune and updated the OS again, but still no Firmware update to 12070.
If it doesn't come soon I'll take it to Nokia Care next time we're in Glasgow as this battery life is terrible (although seemed slightly better on the Vodafone sim!)
I didn't really want to start looking at the other methods I've seen of updating Just wanted to get it officially in Zune!
On searching the issue, I've seen a lot of users of 059M539 code have also not been getting the upgrade.
Same here, same model nr. Cyan Lumia from Phones4U, Orange Sim, also from Glasgow.
Oddly enough I have the latest OS version, just not the latest firmware version. Now that the volume bug is fixed I'm tempted to force a flash bypassing Zune.

Cyan models are delayed for some reason, but it should have arrived by now. Get in contact with Phones4U, see if they have any dates, since it is a batch of theirs.
Got sick of waiting so I used the update tool
Initial findings, it has improved the battery, can easily get a full day even with quite a lot of use!

I've never heard of retailers blocking updates before? However, it does seem possible as I'm seeing several reports of that specific product no not updating. Note that Nokia specifically lists it as having an update available since pretty much day 1 of the firmware being made public. I've posted a query on P4U's forum. Should have known better than to buy from those muppets, but they were the only ones at the time that had the cyans. Someone I know wants the white Lumia 710, but it's another P4U exclusive
mlaidlaw, did you update directly to 12072 with the volume bug fix, or still 12070?

I actually updated to 12070 first, then realised I could also upgrade to 12072, so used the same process again and now have 12072 working fine.

Maybe the Cyan's are delayed because it takes several months to make sure the Nokia Blue theme is still there?

Yep, I mocking how the blue plastic makes my phone somehow ineligible for software updates.
On a more serious query, does having an Orange Sim in my unbranded model phone mean that Orange still has to approve my firmware versions? I'd assume that Carriers only have a say over their branded variants?
I'm still baffled how a specific subset of a particular product code (a product code that has had the upgrade available from the day of announcement according to the Nokia sit) is being left behind? Apple really does get some things right, not letting the Carriers dictate software updates.

No, if you have unbranded you can get the updates for unbranded devices
Yes, Nokia pushed the update, but Orange (one step further) blocked it again It's possible... Unfortunately.
I am on TMobile/Orange, my phone is still showing no update. I have tried the Zune trick to force the update, no joy. Anyone else had the same issue?

I think you're fine, still no update on my unbranded one. Same thing for my gf's 710. Microsoft said that all the phones will have gotten the update within the end of the month, but I guess it was just bs.

That's because the Orange firmware has been approved, O2 one is still waiting to be approved
Im on O2 here in the uk also, got tired of waiting for the update so did it by myself following the link below.

IMPORTANT If You Try the Disconnect Trick..
Make sure your phone has Wifi OFF and Cellular Data OFF before.
I had almost bricked my phone trying to cab Tango since for some reason the language packs would not install; but then installed Navifirm files updated to Tango by renaming another product's code to match mine, and since the language packs were now resolved, I went ahead and cab'd the Nokia firmware update. This weekend with 7.8 on the horizon and perhaps other updates coming sooner (8779?), I didn't want a walshed phone, so got the 8107 Mango files for my product code (059L7C2) from NCS Data Package Manager, refurbished then went back to Zune to do the Tango update.
After many tries, was not having any luck, even though the Nokia site showed my product 059L7C2 as being available, not to mention at least two others with my same product code reporting the disconnect trick working..
Someone else posted on another thread about turning WIFI and DATA off as a first step. Once I did, after one or two tries the update finally came up.
After the first step - installing 8112 - I had to use the same disconnect to get the update for 8773. Again, with the two items turned
off, there was no trouble at all, the update came right up after I pulled the Ethernet cable.
Once 8773 installed, Zune picked up the Nokia firmware update immediately (no disconnect) so I am finally now running Tango.

Well, as it is now just the 9th of the month I guess we have another three weeks. The rollout started little under two weeks ago and was said to take 3-4 weeks. Add the Zune server lag and you end up end of this month..

Oh well, I'm not in a rush or anything. I'd just love to get it before august, basically because I'm getting a Transformer for my bday so I'd love to have that hotspot thing while I'm on vacation.

"Microsoft reportedly starts rolling out Windows Phone 7.8 update" for Lumia 800
Hi guys,
It's been some time since I last checked in here. I'm still waiting for my Lumia 920, should arrive shortly. Anyhow, there seems to be some other news today...
Apparently some people in Holland are receiving notifications for an update according wpcentral. I am not sure that this is really happening, so I wanted to ask if anybody here got it yet.
I tried the old NoDo trick in Zune and got nothing yet
Nothing here in the UK yet.
i noticed in this morning... navifirm doesn't contain anymore 7.8 firmware for lumia 800.
there are just few FW for a small number of product codes and only FW 1600.xx.xxxx...
Im in Holland with a lumia 800 black no branding. I did not get anything yet
No branding Lumia in Romania, haven't gotten anything yet either....
nothing 4me
still waiting this update...in Serbia
Looks like some kind of hoax. Because even Engadget reported this today, but I am yet to see anybody confirming this actually happened. I hate the silence on these updates. Microsoft needs to communicate with people...
They are probably preparing to roll the updates out.
if you download from navifirm try option "clear cache" its work for me...
but nothing special ...dissapointg

Can I install a CV firmware if the phone is a TIM Italy branded one? (I can use it it any network tho).
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------
Just a quick note! I just installed the UK Country Variant while my phone was TIM Italy branded, everything works just great, I got a proper connection with Zune, the Nokia Collection is there, but I can't find the Bluetooth Sharing App the Music creator or w/e is called.
Lumia update
Whilst not a hoax, it seems this was a selective testing update for a certain group of handsets.
Looks like it will be early 2013 for the general rollout, see here:
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...ndows-phone-7-8-for-lumias-until-2013-1120056
Hello
I own a Lumia 925 which was bought from Vodafone Germany (because that was the only place to get a 32 GB model) and then reflashed to the operator agnostic firmware for Germany ("CV DE"/"Country Variant Germany")
Now about a week ago I heard about the "global" rollout of the Black update for both the Lumia 925 and the Lumia 1020 and try to update ever since then. But the phone never finds an update! It looks for it as long as the screen is active and when the screen goes off and I switch it on again I always read that the phone is up to date.
I tried to reach out to Nokia via all channels I could think of. No one except Nokia US help on Twitter bothered to reply. But the only thing they said is that they can't comment on my problem. Not sure what this means. Do they not know the answer? Is it too embarassing to tell me what the cause of the problem is? Are they not allowed to respond with the reason for my problem? Something else? Really, American CSRs are the worst with their meaningless and often useless answers.
Does anybody here have an idea why my phone is not finding the Black update? It was a global rollout for my model, Nokia's info page states it should be available since last week, but still... Is this perhaps blocked out of spite? Because I flashed the phone to some neutral firmware instead of "enjoying" the Vodafone crap?
My Lumia 920 could be updated without problems by the way. I just mention this so you know that I know how to update a Lumia.
Thanks for any tips!
Reflashing probably ruined something. I got the Black update on my Hungarian CV a month ago.
http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/wp8-software-update/availability-in-europe/
Here it says 'available' for black update for both vodafone and CV Germany. You must've ruined something.
You could try resetting your phone, maybe that would do something.
