Windows Phone 8.1 on Lumia 920

DeelyBopper · 16-08-2014, 06:58

I've got an unlocked Lumia 920 that I got from Tesco Direct early this year.

I've updated to Black some time ago, and have been checking daily for the Windows 8.1 update.

Has anyone else with this 'phone managed to get the OTA update yet?

The US will get it before the UK

You can get WP 8.1 Update Pack 1 via Preview for Developers. It's easy. You get all of the new 8.1 features without having to wait for your carrier to approve.

O2 and Vodafone already have it. It should be any day now.

Actually, if you install the preview you won't be able to install the final update automatically. I'd just leave it alone.

Yes, MS stopped an update from preview to final because of issues with this upgrade path and asks people to roll back to 8.0 and update from there. The plan is to have an 8.1 update rolled out by the end of August anyway, I think. It makes no sense to install preview 8.1 now. There's 8.1.1 preview if anybody wants, but I would install it on top of the Cyan/ 8.1 RTM not the 8.1 preview.

That's only an issue for people with bitlocker enabled by their business. Other users can still go ahead and put Lumia on their phone.

That's not the phone owner's decision to make. They pulled the plug on the whole upgrade path whether you have a bitlocker on or not. They are supposed to be working on the solution, but I'd be surprised if it is a priority. They located the problem in the RTM and they have to create another version that probably has to be tested by the network providers, too. Easier to tell developers to go back to a supported state. I had to do it myself with my L1520. Maybe I see it pessimistic and they will open this path again, but I did not want to wait any longer.
