Windows Phone 7.5 Mango was released to the public a couple of days ago and so far carriers are trying their best to get Redmond’s latest mobile operating system to the masses. Fortunately a method to force the Mango update has surfaced on the interwebs. Check out the guide after the break on How to update mango update on your Windows Phone 7 phone.

The guide is below:

  1. First of all connect your WP7 device to your PC (using a USB cable is preferred) and launch the Zune client. Wait for it to recognize your device before you start.
  2. Click on the Phone menu on top and then Setting to the right. Then click on Update which will be the sixth option from the top.
  3. After clicking the update button immediately disconnect the Internet from your computer.
  4. After around 20-30 seconds you should get a message that an update is available. This is the 7392 update, go ahead with the update. Do note is not Mango, 7392 is a post No-Do update.
  5. After the 7392 update is properly installed you should get another notification about an update being available, if you don’t just do steps 2 to 4 again.
  6. Install the 7403 update.
  7. Now after 7403 is installed another update should popup which is Mango, if it doesn’t just follow steps 2 to 4 again.
