Update: We have gotten a number of other tips indicating the Cyan update is now being rolled out for the Lumia 920 in other parts of the world, including India, the UK, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and the UAE.
Original story: The official Nokia Canada Twitter page has just posted word that the Lumia Cyan software update is now rolling out to owners of the Lumia 920 smartphone up in the Great White North.
This means that the folks who still own the nearly two year old Windows Phone 8 smartphone will be able to get updated to Windows Phone 8.1. These over-the-air updates are usually rolled out in phases, so it may be a while before every Lumia 920 owner in Canada gets to download the Cyan update. Once again, we offer a reminder that if you're running the Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developers, you need to downgrade to Windows Phone 8 to be eligible to receive the Cyan update.
If you own a Lumia 920 in Canada are you excited about the prospect of getting the Cyan update? Thanks to Jacob for the tip!

I am using a Lumia 920 (AT&T) and just received an update and installing it! :D Finally!!
Just got the update
Turkey CV 920 Everything just fine. But no Cortana. Everything set to US date/time region language keyboard. Still no Cortana. I think there is no Cortana included for 920 Cyan update. Any suggestions (p.s. no DP please) ?

If you have the dev preview yes. They still haven't resolved the issue with some phones getting a blue screen on update (what I know of)
Worse update ever... For every application I need to put Microsoft password, no idea why!!!!

Windows 8.1 + Lumia Cyan confirmed in Finland. L920 CV
Yea so if Verizon could go ahead and give icons cyan, that would be great
Next would be low end 620, and high end 820, last 720. Complicated and Mad update schedules...
amber rock, black suxxs, cyan?? #cameraQuality #Lumia720
So that's Three and Vodafone providers.
Cyan rolled out to my 920 last night in the UK and to a colleagues 920 on Vodafone. Looking good in the UK now.
Portugal Country Variant is on!

Yesterday I have downgraded my Lumia 920 (India) to Windows Phone 8 from Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 DP using Nokia Software Recovery Tool. Later I updated my NL920 to Windows Phone 8.1 with Cyan. Again I have enrolled in Preveiw for Developers and installed Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1. After that I am unable to add additional languages.
Hi,
Me too facing same issue. Also I am unable to see my App List in Store App.
More issues with DP
cyan for lumia 920 has landed in Indonesia
Sorry not 8.1 must have been the update to the developer preview
Also on 820 on Meteor Ireland
Receiving the 8.1 update as we speak!!this is gooooooddd!!
Confirming a small update received on 920 in Greece!!hurayy!!
Oh my Gooooood I'm stuck at the gears screen for 15 minutes... On my 920 this is the second time it happens and now I have to go to work without a functioning phone. The progress bar has not moved at all. I swear this is the time I throw this phone out of the window and get frikkin Android...
Hold volume - and power button for 10 sec for a soft reset.
Starting a software update on your cellphone 15 minutes before work might not be the brightest idea you have had this month? Just asking.
Oh my Good I'm stuck at the gears screen for 15 minutes... On my 920 this is the second time it happens and now I have to go to work without a functioning phone. The progress bar has not moved at all. I swear this is the time I throw this phone out of the window and get frikkin Android...
Excited to have hands on 8.1.
Slovakia/Czech - installed last night, today enjoying :)
What about 620 in India?
Any news when MS fixes the bitlocker issue? I haven't heard of it in a long time!
I'm in Sri Lanka, Finaly I got WP8.1 update.. now... I'm in cyan update. wow.......
Netherlands CV L920 cyan update arrived.
Just updated my 920 in Singapore. Hoooray!
Just received the special update for the Dev Preview folks. However, it is long past time for the Dev Preview fix to roll out. First, I sense it was a small number of people who may have had the unfortunate Bitlocker business. Seemingly, others updated with no issues. Why hold up the whole community or worse yet, asking to roll back?
I had am update for DP yesterday.
Nokia. Web page still says under testing. But my Australia CV is getting notification. I'm still on Black btw.
What does this update bring
Just did the Cyan + 8.1 update to my Lumia 920. It took a long time to do both updates, it was a bit of a surprise. Not as big a surprise as realizing that I didn't get Cortana, the biggest, flashiest thing that I was expecting to get from this update.
Things I like so far:
Things I don't like so far:
I pretty much agree with what you said. I'll add that I dislike what feels like the devolution of the Hubs as a while.
I've also noticed my phone getting pretty warm doing very little and the battery running down fairly fast. Hopefully it'll settle though. As a whole, I think I actually prefer WP8 over 8.1.
Cortana is missing in the India update
No, it isn't. You'll need GDR1 for that.
Updating, from Malaysia
Today my buddy phone Lumia 920 from indonesia got cyan update..
Ot annoys me greatly that Microsoft update their phones this way. Just be like apple and make the update available around the world for all phones
Taking their bloody time releasing cyan on L920. I'm in Australia, and it has been 'under testing' for quite some time.
With that said, this is worlds apart from android, which was a complete joke getting updates for it.
I got the update in south africa
I guess Lumia 620 on 26th August,Lumia 820 on 1st September then later 1week Lumia 525 in India.
crap this!
Yes..update wp 8.1 is ready for Malaysia..i have just updated it
Anybody received in India for L920 ?
To make sure you installed a Cyan Update, go to Settings > Extras+info
If it says "Lumia Black" then it is not Cyan.
Cyan, come to grandpa! ~from Malaysia with love~
Malaysia too!
+920
Wait, already available in Malaysia?
Yes, if you're running the Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developers, you need to downgrade to Windows Phone 8 to be eligible to receive the Cyan update
Yes. Too bad, my WP runs it.
For those who already updated. Please post any problems or noticeable improvements. Especially report on battery.
Muricá
Im From Mexico and gettin 8.1 update from IUSACELL carrier
I just updated my lumia 920 to cyan in nigeria
MALAYSIA !!! L920 CYAN
Available already in Malaysia?
Yes, it is and the speed seems faster and smoother
Too bad my WP runs the DP8.1. I will just wait then...
How to degrade from 8.1 to 8 please........ Tell me guys
Use nokia software recovery tool. Google it. Its very easy to get
Got update in Pakistan too! Just about now
Yep got two updates for Rogers Canada 920. Sadly had to switch to US region to get Cortana working. C'est la vie!
Ya I know, right? All the news articles are state side and the temperature info is all •F... Other than that I have heard the official Cortana app for Canada comes with Update 1 in a month or so.
Got it, Portland Oregon
no you didn't for Lumia 920. update to DP 8.1 maybe. What does it show under Extras and Info under settings? Cyan? Then you are the first in the US to get it. Or there is a Portland Oregon in Australia?
I upgraded my Lumia 920 on Rogers to Windows 8.1 and everything went good. I was wondering if the Quiet Hours feature was suppose to be in this update or will it be coming in Update 1? I looked everywhere on my phone and I don't have it.
That is a Cortana feature which isn't available in Canada yet. Patience ;)
There's no cyan for Verizon??
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that at&t is withholding this update from Lumia 920 owners because the 920 is nearly two years old and at&t wants us to buy new phones. Alright at&t I'll buy a new phone, too bad it won't be on your network.
What they really want is to lock you into to another two year contract. Only way to do that is to dangle a new phone in front of you. Since the monthly bill on AT&T usually includes a $25-30 phone subsidy, the longer you wait the more expensive that 920 gets
It is an ironi actually. My 920 is great. So i dont really feel the need to replace with newer model. But for Nokia it is not so great because I'm not buying a new one. No sale from me.
My phone buzzed for an update about 30 minutes ago ... "oooh, Cyan" I thought. Nope. Don't know what it was, but it wasn't Cyan. I'm on EE in the UK on a 920.
Check the updates again and you will receive Cyan
Nope, no other updates arriving.
Trust me the 920 looks better I had the two
It's updating in Spain too the CV :)
Guys I wanna ask I know its not the right place sorry , what's better the 820 AMOLED screen or the 920 IPS LCD? Which is better , which has more vibrant. Colors ?
More vibrant colors will likely be AMOLED.
So what's better the IPS LCD or the AMOLED ?
Personal preference.
add turkey to that list. ware getting lumia cyan right now for 920!
Finally!!! Lumia 920 CV Argentina!
Really? In Brazil nothing yet... =(
Yeah, really. I'm using it. Try to check manually for updates again.
In Brazil an operator released Cyan for Lumia 920 before Microsoft®. Incredible!
No way...
Can anyone confirm their Rogers 920 has successfully upgraded to Cyan. I want be sure its there before downgrading from dev preview.
I can confirm. It's in two stages, so you have to update twice. But I'm in Ontario and have a Rogers 920 now rocking Cyan
Yaaaa its finally here. +920 India.
Got Cyan before in uk on cv l920
How. L920 gb cv is still showing as under test.
I just checked for updates and it wad there
L920 CV updating now in Australia!
My Lumia 920 from the Build conference is getting it too
edit: ok the first update was a developer preview update, I'm assuming it's a fix for the bitlocker issue. hopefully cyan will follow up
assumptions are the mother of all f*******s - its not a fix to the bitloker issue unfortunatly
Still awaiting it on EE here in England!
If only they roll updates faster after they reveal them,i wouldn't have to install different rooms and preview fro developers and break my warranty each time, also the number of times i had to do a hard reset cuz of bugs it's a pain to install all the apps over and over and enter accounts and download backups
my last hard reset was the least painful one ever. It installed all my apps and accounts automatically. I just had to verify a few of the accounts. I don't think there is much to complain about anymore.
Why why why we have ro wait so long with the 1520.1 belgium Netherlands cauntry variant omg This is taking so much time wile other 1520 phones alredy have it
Not on 920 UK CV yet
I got mine last night just checked for updates and it came down
I know I am whining, like others. But seeing this is released in many other countries but not the US is like shooting yourself in the foot. Come on MS - do something about this - kick ATT in the nuts.
Now that Microsoft makes the hardware and the software they should release a completely carrier independent phone. Every update will come straight from Microsoft and carriers will just have to suck it up. Sell it factory unlocked directly from Microsoft.
ok, were do we sign the petition?
Since most people in the US get their phone from the carrier, you have to play by their rules. They can sell unlocked phones at Microsoft Stores and maybe at the Microsoft@Best Buy stores but how many people would go out and buy an unlocked device for full price (even if it usually ends up being cheaper)?
Cyan for Lumia 820? It's coming?
-Icon =(
Still stuck in limbo with that blasted 80188308 Developer Preview error. Nokia software recovery is throwing error codes whilst trying to flash it back to stock. Oh well...guess I should be content with what I have.
Maybe im missing something but why can the installer check if we have bitlocker enabled and then stop the install. Most people have it switch off (i thought) so we should all get the CYAN update an those with bitlocker enabled wait a bit longer????
Anyways, Im not rolling back yet, i'll wait on a fix.
Wtf didn't att said that they were going to first on releasing 8.1
Installed the preparation update for wp8.1. Charging the battery to full before the beast update starts on my fav WP 920. Its 2.30AM here, but I have waited enough for this moment. B-)
Rogers just updated this page, http://communityforums.rogers.com/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/GeneralCareSupport/thread-id/355. I guess it's actually available.
Can't wait for Cyan on my 920 in Tunisia !!
Cyan update for Germany when? ;__;
Nokia Lumia 920 Cyan update installed!
Telenor Serbia
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! uk l920 country variant updating now.
Just got the 920 update here in LA,CA - America! At&t, finally!
Having an AT&T L920 w/8.1 preview, if I restore my phone back to WP8, how much data/settings will I lose before upgrading to Cyan when it finally gets released?
I would say almost everything stored in the phone... try to backup with Onedrive all you can like docs and pics, and the contacts are just stored in your MS account.
i did it. so much stuff gets wiped.
for instance all of my custom APN settings (internet,mms) (Telcel doesn't know how to configure those automatically on the NL920)...so I had to look on the internet for those again.
allot of apps didn't come over. from what I can tell no 3rd party app settings were saved. I'm not quite sure what the security/config backup/restore does.... because i didn't feel like anything really got restored... I was left with setting everything up again.
now i have a phone on phone 8.0... will wait to see if we get the cyan this or next week... if not... back to the dev preview for me.
Does anyone know when Cyan update officially rolls out for NL920 AT&T?
The gears are turning as I type. Not too bad, Rogers.
Rolling started in Turkey
Finally my 920 CV Romania is getting the update! Installing...
Just finish updating the first part...now downloading the 2nd one, france cv L920
I think it's downloading now...but it said it was only 5MB?
Updating 920 in Finland. Country variant.
what abt 820?
Nobody to ask about dev. Preview users :/
I'm on DP 8.1 update 1, downloding an update now. I assume it's Cyan, could be a small fix to the DP/bitlocker bug before getting cyan
Very excited
I'm over it, 8.1 or not. I am so tired of all the hype to only be forced to wait for months for it, very anticlimactic
FL920 CV GB updated to 8.1 cyan but still no Cortana.
Cortana comes with Update 1
TIP: 920 CV getting Lumia Cyan in India now!
My 1020 just got Cyan update. I'm in Australia. for my WP8.1 DP
Guys when will it roll out for my Lumia 525 CV in India ... I think we also deserve surprises like others getting it earlier than said ,,, as said to be in September.... Please for 525 this time...
LUMIA 920 CYAN update started in SERBIA just now!!!!
Well I have L920 CV FR but running DP. And I've recieved one update.
Maybe preparing the fix for bitlocker issue?
Also CV Finland start getting the update. Yeah!!!!!
Still not available for the german Country Variant :/
L920 CV GB updated to 8.1 cyan but still no Cortana.
No Cortana in Canada yet either, so don't worry
Lumia 920 UK Tesco CV installing Cyan now
Posted via Windows Phone Central App
Lumia Cyan update rolled out in India too. Just updated my Lumia 920
I got some DP updated downloading, Lumia 920 in Czech Republic, Europe. Just in time, I was thinking about flashing Italian CV or Slovakian Orange ROM.
Blah, it was just DP update, nothing else :(
Yeah. It is not a Cyan Update. It is just a DP Update
Well, my friend from Czech Republic just received some updates, one smaller and one larger, it's not done yet, but it says Windows Phone 8.1 (8.10.12393.890). I am curious to see, if it's with Cyan or not.
It's really weird, because I am checking with NaviFirm+ and there is no L920 CZ CV Cyan ROM present.
My friend from Czech Republic updated his Lumia 920 CZ CV and got 3051.50009.1424.0004, he wasn't in DP program.
Well, so it seems the Bitlocker issue isn't solved yet and I should downgrade to get it too :(
Welll, Lumia 920 - Czech Variant - installed. This variant (unlocked phone) is valid for Slovakia where I reside. So I can atest it works in our region :) jupiii ...
Just flash Italy yesterday but now it's rolling out to my country
Downloading on L920 Netherlands CV...first update done. After it said to check for 8.1 update. Second update just slowly started, I hope it is 8.1+Cyan.
Bleh I don't want to downgrade :(
925...and america
920 from AT&T bought off contract in Tucson for use as a Go Phone. Presently on a TelCel (Mexico) plan here in the USA. Running Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview w/ Update1.
Just received another update notification. Downloaded and Installing now. Thus far has taken about 15 minutes. It's at the Migration Phase (5 of 21). I'll update what I have when it completes.
Completed. I have Windows OS 8.10.14157.200
Firmware: 3051.40000.1347.1001
I'm still on Lumia Black.
So this was just a minor update. I guess if I roll back my dev preview to standard, then I will receive Lumia Cyan firmware as well.
OK, now it's time to go read Daniel's HowTo.....
In those instructions he says: "As soon as that is completed, you can hard-reset the phone. The reason for the hard reset is so that the OS can offer up the Restore process from the backup you created earlier."
This hard reset he is refereing to is holding down the Power and Volume Down buttons for 10 seconds until I get the blank screen and vibrate.... Just want to make sure we all agree on what is a soft reset, what is a hard reset... Thanks.
I'm following up on this. I rolled back to Windows 8. Of course it's automatically installing my apps and prompted me to restore from the backup I had made earlier.
The system is on Lumia Black. When I check for updates... I don't get the Cyan updates. I'm hoping after all of my apps are installed, that I will get the Cyan update. If not...well what a fun exercise this had been. :'|
Interesting... I'm not even getting updates for Windows 8.1...
So yeah... straight WIndows Phone 8 feels weird when you are used to all of the new stuff we received with Windows Phone 8.1
So here's what I jsut did... Remember.. this was a Phone purchased in Tucson Arizona USA from AT&T during the 'exclusive period'... I put a GO (pay as you go chip in it).
Now it's unlocked and using a TelCel (monthly plan here in Mexico) sim chip.
So, I changed my country back to Mexico and my language back to Spanish... Boom... getting updates... I'll let you know in a bit how it goes..
(What's funny to do the original Developer Preview I had to tell the phone I was in the USA.. go figure...)
OK... I nominate myself for a Darwin Award and here's why:
1. I misread folks comments and actually believed several of you had in fact received Lumia Cyan firmware update on your Lumia 920 devices from AT&T in the USA. Apparently, it's just all you folks on DevPreview receiving the latest Windows Phone 8.1.1 update....no firmware. No one has yet provided a screen shot of their AT&T Lumia 920 with Cyan in the USA.
2. Havind misread the comments, I downgraded by Lumia 920 to Windows Phone 8.0. Restored my backup and let the Apps rip. Checked.. Nothing. Changed Languages and Regions... Checked... Getting an update.. Got Excited... Nope... Big Stupid..It was just stuff for the Spanish Language.
3. So, here I sit with my Lumia 920..downgraded to Windows Phone 8.0.. which means.. my VPN doesn't work... All of my photos, music, etc... have been removed (so I have to re-transfer them back on)... Allot of Apps didn't auto download/restore (looking at you Fidelity App).
4. OF course the 3 wide capability is gone... so the Start Screen configuration is wiped too...
5. I wasted more than 2 hours doing all of this...
sorry to hear this - made for a good and useful read though! so thanks.
