Still having update issues when trying to installed the 7008 or NoDo (7390) update on your Windows Phone 7 devices? Well, Microsoft has finally released a patch that should fix two of the most common errors encountered by some users:
800705B4: The timer ran out on what we were trying to do.
80180080: We couldn’t update your phone because your operating system might be corrupt.
You may remember that I constantly got the 800705B4 error when attempting to update to 7008 no long ago and at the time the only way to fix this was to hard-reset the handset before updating. Thankfully there’s now a patch that you can directly grab from here:
Download the Windows Phone Support Tool from the Microsoft Download Center. If you have a 32-bit system, download the WPSupportTool-x86.msi package. If you have a 64-bit system, download the WPSupportTool-amd64.msi package.
Follow the instructions here and then attempt to update your phone again.
Thanks for the heads up Arun
