Step 2. Install and Run the Required Software.
Step 3. Wait.
After your Windows Phone reboots three times, EUREKA!!
Simple.
Does it work? Yes, but it’s a little more involved than what is described here.
ReplyDeleteFirst, 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…
