Lumia Cyan is rolling out to those on AT&T with the Lumia 1020 or Lumia 1520 running Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developers. Previously users would need to roll back to a retail version of Windows Phone in order to receive the Lumia Cyan update. That's no longer the case.
Reports are flying in that those on AT&T with a Lumia 1020 or Lumia 1520 are receiving updates for Lumia Cyan. Those users are currently running Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developers. Those with the Lumia 920 on T-Mobile Germany also running Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developers should be able to grab Lumia Cyan without downgrading.
Microsoft's Greg Sullivan ( @gregwardo) took to Twitter to confirm the reports:
"Cyan update rolling to #WindowsPhone developer preview Lumia 1020 and 1520 on ATT, T-Mo Germany Lumia 920. More soon..."
Let us know if you see an update! We'll keep you posted as to when other devices are able to upgrade directly without rolling back.

Thanks for the tips everyone!

Problem After update:
http://forums.wpcentral.com/ask-question/313103-strange-icons-after-cyan...
Love it and definitely love this post. thanks for updating wpcentral app. Couldn't even open a post for reading.
From the story:
"Previously users would need to roll back to a retail version of Windows Phone in order to receive the Lumia Cyan update. That's no longer the case."
It still is the case. The 920 with DP won't update.
Why there is no more update after AT&T got Cyan? The update pulled out again?
Same question here..
I have a not-branded 1520 and no Cyan update yet.
And why this waiting? I have the exact same phone as the AT&T one..
Just updated my 1520 from preview to cyan update too, CV-GBIE. At last all those on DP can finally update to cyan without downgrading. Thanks to MS for listening to forum members calls and working tirelessly towards fixing this. Cheers
I just updated my 1020 from Preview to the new Cyan update. Is it me or is everything on the screen crisper and and more vibrant?
Lloyd_S; Could you please elaboarate on your update process:
Thanks
Is the lag while opening apps and switching back to home screen still there which started after the update 1 (live folders update ) even after updating to lumia cyan ?
At the risk of alienating Daniel, it does seem faster <snicker, haha, lol>.
I was experiencing the lag you mentioned everytime i opened apps or even switched to the Home/Start screen. I'm running DP 8.1 and not noticing it as much now after the Cyan update along with whatever the update was immediately after that...
Thank you for your reply , very much appreciated :)
What about the Lumia 920 users who never received the Black update? I'm from Colombia and my carrier Claro never released the Black update, and I'm stuck with the Amber firmware 3047.0000.1326.2002. I installed the WP 8.1 Developer Preview and It's working great, but I'm not sure If will recieve the Cyan Update even with only Amber installed.
-Icon sigh... I hate you verizon you suck. If I don't get cyan by the time the 1525 is released, I'm dropping you.
I updated last night and since then I've never got LTE signal on my phone only 4G anyone with the same problem? Also is living images not supported on the Lumia 1020?
Last night I upgraded my ATT Lumia 920 (US) to CYAN and Windows Phone 8.1.
How did you do it, which Rom did you use and how's your LTE?
Dear ATT and MS. I switched platforms and gave Windows phone a chance with a 920 on launch day. My 2 year contract is coming up in a little over 2 months. I did not want to mess around with a developer preview because I need my phone to be stable. Right now it feels like you have little intention of supporting us. I'm fully aware that the 920 is nearing it's EOL, for those who are day 1 people that is pretty soon, others though will still have up to a year on their cycle.
I've heard a lot about how awesome Cortana is, and how funny she is when you say this and that, I've seen articles about how to do this and that, those articles are now so far back in the archives that I doubt I'll ever go look for them when they will actually be of use to me due to you taking forever to update my phone.
If you can't show me that I can trust you to support my product for the life of my contract then there's a pretty good chance I'll be moving on to another platform. If I were in charge I would be sure that those who first took a chance on my product would be amoung the first to get an important update like this, especially considering that those who first jumped on board are the ones who have the chance to leave in just a couple of months when their contracts are up.
You would get a lot further with this if you submitted it directly to AT&T and MS rather than posting it here...
FINALLY!!!!!! now we wait coz Nokia east africa are too slow to release it
Any word on ATT L925 running 8.1 dev pre?
No, but you can use the Nokia tool to downgrade and update.
I'm not seeing anything different on my 1020 from what I had with 8.1 DP and the updates I already had. What's different?
I am getting another update, right after Cyan got installed!
Got it, downloaded it, installed it...and then there was one more update after Cyan...thank you MS/ATT - very cool :)
What's that update after 8.1 PD GDR1?
I have a Lumia 1020 and not sure what the update was other than what it showed in Details prior to downloading/installing (just mentioned fixes to allow Live Tile folders and some other minutia). I wish I would've screnshotted it :/ Here's what is in my Settings/About:
OS version is shown as 8.10.14157.200
Firmware: 3051.50009.1425.2001
When will the group messaging problem be fixed? I can only send/receive to 10 ppl at a time. Which means I get separate threads for each message and I can only reply to 10 people. And it comes in a separate thread on their phone, too. I hate to be "that guy" in the group text. Makes it seem like I have a dinosaur phone.
Dammit. 920 CV Germany still under testing? It's taking forever...
Please notification+action update with mobile data & much more not only 4 items but more what I am write???
I just received Cyan this morning. Running dp 8.1 on 1020. No need to roll back. Did not see Nokia camera updated yet. ATT carrier
Got it also for my 920 preview device. (Germany, t-mobile)
Question? Purchased my phone in UK (CV GBIE) do i have to actually be in UK in order to get cyan?
Do upgrades pick location or phone firmware?
You do not need to be in the same country physically as your phone version to successfully get the update. My wife's phone has Italy CV and it automatically updated to Cyan here in The Netherlands when we bought it last week.
Does anybody is facing camera problems with Cyan update in 1020?
While using the camera the screens goes black and when you take a pic,it turns out a black one! This ONLY OCCURRED WHEN I HAD CYAN! In PFD 8.1,I never faced this problem.
I know some might say go to forums but since its cyan,that's why....
Got it and I'm in Romania
Which phone and what carrier?
when it will available for dp L520 ??......in India...."just want to grab it"
My 1520 don't have any update yet.
WMPowerUser:
New Lumia Cyan update for Developer Preview devices does not resolve Bitlocker issue
I agree that MS should unblock DP users and those with bitlocker just use the recovery tool.
Absolutely agree
+720
So does the treasure tag connect with this update?
I don't think its my imagination... Low light photos with Nokia Camera app on my 1020 with Cyan are MUCH better... Great stuff.
updating now! L1020 on AT&T!
I had 8.1for a while. So what does Cyan bring to the table
Does anybody got Cyan update on 1520 unlocked preview for developer in Australia?
can't wait for it to hit my 1020 DP down here in South Africa! Thanks for restoring my faith a little Microsoft:):):)
+920
Great news. I still have to be patient though, until T-Mobile Germany pushes out this update to 1020.
I appreciate that I don't have to backup and "wipe" my device to get cyan
Any chances for international version? Thanks.
Still hanging on for Cyan on O2 in the UK with Dev Preview... Fingers crossed it'll be soon now...
Nd when ms released it for al pfd device..?
Why now the fix? Almost every phone has cyan now
Except who have preview ver on their mobile
⬆ THIS
That's why i said almost ;)
Not everyone 1520.1 belgium Netherlands still dont have cyan bunch of slackers
Perfection. Everything updated worth no trouble.
Att remember Lumia 820 pls...and if i flash my phone to different region firmware would i get it
O_O why can't my unlocked 1020 get it?!
You will get it. Patience is a virtue.... Besides, the fix was released for just 3 phones.
Got mine earlier today. Switched my sim card for my account from my 920 to my 1520,and was prompted that my update was available. Does anyone know what the 8.1.1 update should be? I had the 8.1 dev,but had the service for the 1520 suspended. Had the 8.1 update since day 1. Then Cyan was delayed,in the meantime 8.1.1 came out and I don't think I have it. What's the build number please? How do I get it?
That's some good news to brighten my day! Now, when is our 920 on DP getting the update?
I don't know how I missed this earlier today
Can't wait for Debian Red!
I want to get my volume key repaired and my warranty expires on 10th Sept I hope I get cyan by then, tried downgrading but after downloading software it shows phone disconnected.
Oh good, hopefully this will hit the rest soon.
There is some update for Lumia 720 in India, hope its cyan
is it lumia cyan?
Just updated, Happy Camper! Lol
This thing still doesn't work with my fit it after the cyan update....damn
Do you mean your Fitbit?
Just sitting here waiting for lumia Icon to be updated...
So the bit locker issue was finally solved? Fingers crossed
Got my update on my preview 1020 last Sunday... Thought I was the last one to get it...
When it would be ready for Lumia 520 for preview for developers in India
The Rogers variant is pretty much the exact unit, so hope to see it ready soon
this is great news.....can't wait to get the update for lumia 1320(pfd users)
What's in the cyan update? Features?
I think it reinstalled update 1 and the other recent DP updates after installing Cyan.
Here's the 3 that it installed/reinstalled after Cyan finished installing:
8.10.14147.180
8.10.12400.899
8.10.14157.200
EDIT: this is on an AT&T 1520 fwiw
Odd way to install. Thought would be . 899, .180 then .200
That's the way the phone listed them, not sure how they were installed. (ie. all at once, or one by one)
Do you have the 15 & 30 minute screen timeouts?
Had the same exact message. Funny this says I am on the .200 update already.

I think this is done to trick the bitlocker bug...
Me too. Right after Cyan, I got an update for the three. They are not individually getting installed, but all assembled into one install.
But its just a whole god damn mess with HTC users getting the update
I have Internet Sharing even though it's not part of my plan. I suspect this is from the DP without corresponding firmware, but I'm not complaining. Is there a way I can back it up exactly as it is now in case I would like to rollback to using Internet sharing (assuming the firmware will take it away). 1020
? What will these same owners upgrade to? A L1520, L930, HTC M8 which? As many here has reservations about the HTC and the L930 is an Icon with 8.1 already installed so for all the talk are you saying that every L920 owner should buy a HTC or the L930 that's not sold in the US as was originally announced. So tell me with model # under the 9 series should these L920 owners buy? Which series the new 5/6/7/8 series since all are below the 9 in specs other than the 8's processor. Tell me who moves from 10 -> 1 and not the other way around. So if you're telling all Lumia users to switch to HTC then..........
I wish I could roll back my 920, but when I try to I get an error. I think I need to send it into Nokia and get it flashed with original FW. But i don't have a spare phone.
Good that I didn't rollback and go thru painful process!
Just observed that my 1020 says model as Lumia 909.. Mine is a at&t unlocked model. Is anyone else seeing the same thing? I don't remember if this was the case always??!!
Yup, always been 909.
1020 AT&T unlocked on Rogers in Canada Confirmed.
Just need the Rogers version!!
Yahoo! Going to install now. I was lucky that backup was failing and forced me to wait for a while longer... I was going to bite the bullet and start from scratch this week end...
All good. Took two cycles, but no bitlocker screen and all my data is there. Thank you MS, I knew you would not let us down!
Can't believe I just downloaded the Nokia Software Recovery Tool, all set to roll back to WP8 etc, etc, etc. Then I saw this on twitter and thought, great timing as usual, Andy! Installation OTA was a cinch and all is working well on my Lumia 1020 :^)
No live images on my 1020....
Got it!
And ofc 1520.1 Netherlands no cyan update ughhh
Same here in Belgium, still no update while most of the phones (both carrier and CV) already got it.
Just upgraded, giggity...
Got the Cyan update on my ATT Lumia 1020 this afternoon.
Good by Verizon!!!
Upgrading wife's 1020 now...was going to downgrade this past weekend and never got to it...glad now we didn't! Now if only I can finally get Cyan on my AT&T L920 :)
Interesting that branded phones are getting better updates than unlocked international phones. Ugh
My son just purchased a 1520 last week while in chi-town running Win8.1 cayan. Nice....bulky but nice. I personally love my 929 Icon, and am patiently waiting for cayan to roll out for it.
Will it be available for middle east dp (cyan)?!
Does folders still work? Folders don't work when doing the downgrade thing first when that was a choice?
Yes, I still have a Folder I made for commonly-used contacts. I'm now on Cyan + DP + Update 1 :^)
^So what changes are there after cyan??
I guess I was too quick to wipe the 1020 and start over. :) I'll wait on AT&T to do this for the 920.
Just got it this afternoon. Everything seemed to go fine. Was dissapointed to find out the gimmicky (but hey it would be fun to show off) living images feature from Cyan isn't something the 1020 can run. Oh well, glad I didn't break down and use the recovery tool to update.
Odd, coz it was working on 920 via beta camera version. So I'm lost to know why they suddenly removed from devices
Yeah, that's garbage. It was working fine on my 1020 worth the old beta Nokia Camera before it was update. I can confirm that it's not there now that I have Cyan.
Just their way of forcing us to but a new phone
Just updated my phone but my update 1 to my cyan is still on so im happy! I love the folders
I have had my SIM in a M7 for a while... Looking forward to getting back on WP on my 920 and cyan..
The data icons have little activity arrows now. That's cute...
Cyan, cyan, cyan!
I'm hating Tmobile no love for WP users >:(

Anyone running the ATT 1020 on TmoUS with DP? I just updated to cyan and tethering recognizes it as Tmobile (instead of ATT as before cyan), but it says that I don't have tethering service, when in fact I do. Prior to cyan, I had to go down to 4G (from LTE) to get thethering to work. Once on, I could switch back to LTE. Getting the second update now, we'll see if it fixes anything. Anyone else?
Any solution to this? Running an ATT 1020 on TMo, and lost my ability to tether through the update. Prior to this I had internet sharing on LTE by way of a workaround involving an international sim card last time to get this to work. If I can find it I guess I will rerun the same workaround and see if the same method works although I can't find the foriegn sim card..
I tried some stuff today (Tmobile phone, share internet, then back to my 1020; non-tmobile phone, pre-cyan), and nothing worked. I posted a thread, hopefully someone comes up with something!
http://forums.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-1020/306822-internet-sharing-com...
Completed the updates on my 1020. Cyan update followed by OS update. Not sure what the OS update was for unless it was a reinstall of the latest DP version.
What os version are you on now .200
Yes, .200
Patience paid off.
Downloaded and running great...
AT&T + 1520 in the U.S
I should have waited 3 more days. Oh well
Hahah u had to be more patient lol
Sweet also available in the UK. I've installed on both my Uk 1520 and american 1020 :)
I have a bad feeling about those who downgraded lollllll patience is a priority guyssssss
Virtue, mate.
Oh small device specific rollouts?
There goes all hope for the 810 getting it.
Niceeee
Thank God!! Update installed. Already my apps have lost the last when starting up. Hopefully this also solves the random freezing issue on the 1020 too.
To read soo many posts about when will the L920 get this update goes to show whether on contract or not, it's a device that many people still regard as a quality device despite that its almost 2 yrs old. What I want people to note that the L1520 is alost 1 yr old and yet has older hardware than what the latest HTC,SONY,LG and SAMSUNG has on offer to date. Yet I still read posts about how much of a beast the L1520 is. I love the L920 and for its older hardware and how it flows with WP8 OS and the WP8.1 OS is said to be a step up from WP8 in terms of functionality and speed. To me all AT&T would be doing is making those who do have the L920 on contract stay a bit longer with the L920 simply because of how it works since the update and just biding their time until a true worthy Lumia successor is released.
Woohoo! Just installed it!
Everyone loves DP :-o
Yeahhh finally!!!! Dpppppppp
Running now...and...I have...CYAN! 1020
And...now...I have been alerted to a second update being ready...and it is installing now...
The second one rreports itself as being a reinstall of Dev Prev.
So, they wrote a routine that uninstalled it, then re-installed it via a second update.
How practical! CT, USA
Just tried my Australian 920 CV on preview for developers, no Cyan. Hope is eternal..
Done on ATT Lumia 1020!
Hello Folks,
As part of our effort to resolve the issue with updating to Cyan while on the Preview for Developer program, we have rolled out the Cyan update to three specific device types this afternoon.
Customers on the following devices and participating in the Preview for Developer program can now take the Cyan update:
•Nokia Lumia 1020 - Branded on AT&T
•Nokia Lumia 1520 - Branded on AT&T
•Nokia Lumia 920 - Branded T-Mobile Germany
We continue to work on releasing the other devices to receive Cyan as part of the Preview for Developer program and hope to have more information in the future.
Thanks for there update. 920 CV in Australia next please.
I am hoping that the 920 on Tmobile Germany is a test to see how it works for the people here in the States. I actually have the 920 unlocked and I am using it on Tmob USA.
Hi Mide64,
When will Cyan be available for the Australian country variant?
Software: Windows Phone 8.1 Update
I'm using a 1520.1 variant:
RM-937_apac_australia_new_zealand_933
OS Version:
8.10.14157.200
Firmware:
1028.3562.1402.0003
Please have some good news, soon....
Sigh of relief!! Now just VZW.....in a month, most likely ;) can't wait.
Still no update for the Icon.. Starting to piss me off.
Question if I update my phone do all my apps stay at the current level? I have disregarded updating despicable me because I didn't want to lose my bapples!
Normally no. Updates don't mess with the app data. Now, if you reset your phone, then you will lose the app data unless the game has cloud saving or been updated to allow the phone to back up its data along with the rest of the stuff the phone backs up.
But just updating apps shouldn't change anything ;)
Arhhgg! I just downgraded mine 3 days ago! The horror! The horror!
Sorry for the question but what's the name of this yellow case? I've also 1520-yellow and searching the name and from where to request :) Please help me to find this case name :)
YAHTZEE!!!!!! I just got mine. Yet again, patience pays off big time!
Is it region restricted ?
I wish everyone with a 920 would voice their discontent with AT&T. Maybe then we would actually get treated like users with newer devices. Its obvious that because the 920 is about two years old and people whom bought it new are due for an upgrade AT&T will delay as long as they can.
It was still newish, when they hosed us with Amber too.. Invalid argument.
True. I guess its just because AT&T sucks period.
Could be worse. You could be a T-Mobile customer.
Currently downloading the update on my AT&T 1020.
Downloading on my 920 from Deutsche Telekom!
I knew I would do better to wait. It would have been a nightmare to lose everything on my 920.
Now to nag Belfiore so they release Cyan for my Deutsche Telekom 1020...=P
About time..... Mines already download
Waiting on Cyan release for T-Mobile's 925s running 8.1 via the developer preview. But I'm patient, so I can wait.
Me too. Been this long, I can wait a little longer.
Glad I waited
Come on debian red my 930 has not had an update since dp update 1. Need something to whinge about... Oh yeah where's my bloody glance screen...
Just for branded phones. There is no update for Country variant yet.
And all along I thought my 1520 had Cyan, I can't tell too much of a difference, except the small arrows on the Wi-Fi a and cellular icons.
Verizon needs to update the Lumia Icon already!
Just updated 1020 and got the "welcome to cyan" message. Ironically, just got a notification while typing this that "an update is ready to install". Here goes nothing (again)
Same here, I wonder what the second update is for?
Did you finish the second update? Did everything work out?
good news at least, hoping my stubborn waiting for uk cv 920 on DP wp8.1 gdr1 will pay off soon to go legit with cyan
Got it. Ok what's new again?
Not here in Honduras... but I expected that. My carrier is Tigo, I don't think they are related to any of the aforementioned carriers.
I am happy to know the Cyan is finally being released for users with DP8.1, with the current situation of my phone (unstable USB connection) I can't do the rollback. My phone disconnects "because reasons".
920. Won't be long now! ::rubbing hands together::
We been saying that for months buddy!
Hope you are right!!!
Well still nothing for L920 FRANCE CV but these are indeed excelent news
Yes!!!! *does a happy dance*
Finally..can't wait for Malaysia
Ugh. Longer wait for Lumia Icon even though the 930 already has it.
Waiting finally paid off. Now just a little bit more waiting till they launch it for 525 and 720s
I'm sure some people going ,YEAH BABY!
Lumia 920 for at&t will not be updating until 4th quarter 2014, just prior to new phone releases for xmas.
Tell me you actually work at AT&T because this statement would make people actually destroy their L920s. That makes as much sense as making a house out of icecream to live in. Why give an OS upgrade to a device right before the time to upgrade hardware knowing that it will be traded in for a newer one, there will be no time to actually experience what the new OS has to offer on the old device compared to moving to a new device. What does make sense is to offer the upgrade now so atht people can see what MS is doing for WP and that sticking with WP is a very viable option going forward.
1520.3 seeing it on att? I show no updates still on mine
I don't see it either. Probably only applies to branded phones.
The wait is on then...again
Same situation
You'll have to wait for the international version release. Last time it took about 10 days longer before the official WP8.1 update was available for the 1520.3 compared to the AT&T branded one.
Good to know Memristor
Best news ever! So sick of lag! Looking forward to new camera algorithms!
I'm starting to doubt that it ever will...
I rolled back my 1520 last week and it is completely unusable now. Screen flickers and apps open up on their own. Screen locks constantly. And Cortana kept opening on her own so much, and freezing, that I had to turn Cortana off completely. I've heven reset to factory settings and it continues.
In a nutshell my 1520 is now a brick so I'm keeping my 1020 on Preview for Developers for awhile to see what bugs pop up.
Sometimes you have to do more than one reset under settings/about/reset your phone.
Do they not see or not care about 920 owners seeing others getting version 2 of an update we still haven't seen?
Already frustrated with app quality and selection for WP. This just another reason to walk at 2 years.
Must be frustrating for you since the 920 update has been available already in practically the whole of Asia, Europ, Africa, and in several countries in the Middle East and Latin America.
Get after the carriers, they're the ones that haven't placed any priority on getting the update out to all phones in a timely manner. In my opinion, it should have been released within a couple of weeks after RTM to all devices on all carriers in all countries. This is what makes Windows Phone look bad -- it's a great OS (far better than the Droids and iPhone) and has incredible promise with the 8.1 update.
