That's great news! No luck on my Optus Optimus 7 here in Aus but it would appear that even for phones confirmed to get the update that it isn't available on all the servers yet.
I'll keep trying.
---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------
I'm getting the updates too now. Currently installing the 2nd update. So for anyone in Australia with an unbranded E900, I can confirm that 7.8 is available. Several others here have successfully updated to 7.8 as well.

Can't get my phone to update LG Optimus E900
Hi, I am based in the UK with a European model and can't upgrade to 7.8 (LG Optimus E900)
I've tried the force update method, no joy and the manual cab method but it just says can't find applicable package....
Any ideas please?
Thanks

you have to put the cabs in the same folder as the bat file of the cab sender - and dont execute the bat with admin-rights or the installation will fail
Hi, thanks however I have tried the force update method several times as well as ensuring all the cabs are in as per the manual update instructions including ensuring the right language packs are there but still get exactly the same error as before.. no applicable packages... guess I'll have to give up for the time being and try again in a couple of weeks or so...
What has 80072FA8 error or just no update found!
On this time I tried a long time update with disconnect trick. But... no updates.
NOW... from FIRST time update was found!
Solution:
yeah... first of all good things happen to UK. So we will use UK proxy.
Go to Settings - mobile network , then edit apn. In "APN, Username, Password" I typed my provider settings. In "Proxy server/URL" type 109.169.40.229 and in "Proxy port" type 8080. Here Done.
Next step: in computer STILL connected internet, in phone wifi is disconnected.
And last step: in Zune click update. Waiting about ~2 minutes, because proxy is very slow.
Result:
Thanks for UK proxy :laugh:
My LG Optimus 7 now has 7.8 thanks to the disconnection method. Now Office won't work anymore =\
i keep getting an error saying it cant search for an update, i tried two different computers, no luck, i tried the force update by switching off wifi, still no luck. Can someone help? thanks

legitttttt!!
Wow I just tried this rom and it is way better then any other rom out for this phone right now. Its fast, has no bugs and gets the job done. LG really did a great job on this rom.
Tried this update last night and it bricked my phone. Called ATT & LG customer service and I now have to send my phone in to LG for repair/replacement. Half way through the update I ran into an error and it asked that I restart (3 times) after which it said contact customer service and exit. Now my computer won't recognize my phone when plugged in thru usb and so I can't try to restart the update. I believe the phone was wiped clean. Anyway, I guess I'll just send it in and let LG figure it out.

Yes, i just flashed my Telus IQ with this rom. It works great, but you'll have to setup your data connection since it is pre-set for AT&T
For those who stuck at 25%, while stuck plug out the cable and quickly replug-in, that's all.

Thanks. I know how to flash it but how do I set things for TELUS CANADA because V10G is for EXPO and I have LG IQ GW825 from Telus.
Reverting to the official V10g has fixed every problem I met with Dragonstorm 23139. My expo is now running perfectly well, guarantee.
Before this I was convinced that Dark's 23139 is my final resort, and I would nearly buy a new Android phone by now.

In connection settings page, go to advance tab. Click new (upper one). It opens up a new windows. After typing name of connection, go to modem tab and type in APN (e.g. for 3 mobile is three.co.uk).

Just saw it on facebook....now to wait...I wonder when I'll get my update message
this is exciting news
Yeah means nodo is near !!
Just got my update message on my DVPs none of my other US devices have received it yet...
Who wants to bet that this Update to the updating software will deliver a big fat nuke to our HD2s ?
Na, im sure it will be fine but i will be watching very carfully, because at the moment it all seems far to good to be true! happy days, im not exactly sure i know what i want fixed yet anyway as everything is fine, perhaps those random Market errors we sometimes get, but it would seem that, we'll need to wait a wee bit longer
hi guy's...i have connected in this moment my HD7 on Zune.....
First update is avaliable now
i report here what will appened when the update will be end
stay tuned
I have the ability to update my phone and I know the site stated that this one will "...improve the software update process itself" Im not going to update until I know what exactly this update has in store besides what the site said it was for. Could this update even possibly fix the hole that allows chevron to work or will that be fixed in the in the March update?
it would be real nice if someone will wireshark the update so that we can see how day to it and maybe use it to unlock.
Probably to close the chevron security hole no new updates after this and everybody is screwed. Or a lot of greatness to come quicly after this one

I am not interested in what will happen when you install it , I want to have that update (the file , cappkg or something like that)
ps , it will not work on a hd2 because there are missing parts of the rom needed by the update.
Well, I just read this is just a small update to prepare the update process itself ...
So it gives Microsoft some experience on updating their devices
AND
It will also give our chefs some experiences to make their own ROM updatable LOL

According to sources from The Netherlands, the Nokia's will get an update today:
http://wmpoweruser.com/nokia-lumia-800-getting-an-update-tomorrow/
I'd really like to get my hands on that update package. So I'd appreciate it if you can grab the update and post it here. It's not difficult. Here are instructions:
1. When your device or zune reports an update: WAIT! DON'T UPDATE YET! First a little preparation!
2. Download Wireshark, install it and run it.
3. In the options make sure you have Promiscuous Mode enabled (Edit -> Preferences -> Capture)
4. Click on the network interface that has your connection to the internet. That will start a trace.
5. In the "Filter" in the toolbar enter this: http.request
6. Click on "Apply"
7. Now start the update of the phone with Zune.
8. When it's done, you can click "Stop capture" in the toolbar.
9. Then File -> Save as to save the capture as a file.
10. Post the captured file here or if it's too big, mail it to me (ask for my mail-address in PM plz).
Thanks a lot!

Anything that could help the hacker community! I'll try that if there's an update and send you the file.

According to folks on Twitter, some users already have the 7.10.7740.16 update installed. Unfortunately there is no Update for me avalable. I will try to capture the update, when I get prompted for.

I'm not referring to the 7.10.7740.16 update. That's just the normal Microsoft update. I'm referring to an update from Nokia! But it could be that the update will only be available if you have 7.10.7740.16 installed. I'm not sure.
Ah I see. You mean the Update provided by Nokia only for Nokia devices which updates the nokia specific firmware for the battery update and tethering? I deduced from the last integrated HTC update, that the Nokia Update will also be part of the MS OS Update to version .16.
Well, I hope that the WP7 Connector for Mac will also show me a dedicated Nokia Update. I will try to capture it then.

Great I'll have my eye on it. I've already been asked to update to 7740 but I'll hold back see if there's anything newer.
Or would you prefer to update to 7740 before the 'Nokia update'?

I don't care about the 7740 update. Also I don't think it makes any difference for Interop Unlock. But I can't be 100% sure about that.
But it is very well possible that you only get the Nokia update offered when you have the 7740 update installed. It won't offer you a choice of two updates. And the 7740 update was first, so I guess you should install it. Again, not 100% sure about these things.

Dissecting it right now.
I recently bought two HTC Titans from the States. They were supposed to be unbranded thru Amazon, but AT&T ones arrived and then were unlocked and working. They both have ROM version 7720 loaded. Connecting through Zune, I get the message that software and phones are up to date. This is obviously incorrect as the following updates are missing: 8107, 8112, 8773. Doing some rearch, I understand that AT&T is not going to roll out any more updates for their phones, even though they are unlocked. I tried forcing the update (by diconnecting while updating) but to no avail. Can anybody please assist with some advice.
Is it true that if the updates are not up to date, then 7.8 won't load and update?
HTC managed to get me a UK ROM, but the file is in .nbf file format and they are scared it wont work on my phones. Should we try and update or is there another solution?
Your help will be greatly appreciated. I want to keep the phones as current as possible and able to accept WP7.8.
Region:South Africa
It's not known so far whether 7.8 will be only available if you've received all previous updates.
I don't think that the UK ROM would have issues, but it might result in problematic signal quality with the non-AT&T radio driver. You might want to HSPL the device and flash a custom ROM with that radio.
Also, be aware that you can force system updates on the phone using th cab sender method.

Don't worry, it sounds more complicated than it is. Just read through this thread very thoroughly.
It's really just about making a backup, download a few files (the updates), putting these in a folder, run this tool and press 2 keys. The guide there explains it very in-depth.
Be sure to not to skip the text, as you for instance will have issues if you don't update your languages, too.

Thanks for the encouragement. A few questions if I may please: Article talks about language packs - do these refer to Display language (English) or all keyboard languages?
Tried using Version and Language by Heathcliff74.xap, but phone gives message that it does not recognise file format.
Lastly, should I load all updates in sequence, or can I go straight to Tango (are the others necessay? I presume yes)
Thanks once again Cheers Calli

Ah. It appears that no matter what I change, the default UI language will always report as EN-GB, hence I suspect no update for me until I find a charger and completely refresh as EN-US.
You can check your default UI language by running dism /online /get-intl at elevated command line

They depend it on the original base language of your windows copy when you first installed it (eg. setup language). Although users with EN-GB languages are still safe, you just need to download the US language pack and setting it as default, and then change the value of InstallLanguage string in registry editor from 0809 to 0409.

It seems that the this issue is resolved - you need to make a hard reset of the system or restore the system without deleting your personal data. I chose the second, reinstalled all the updates and the system accepted installation of 8.1. Good luck!
