Microsoft fixes 8018830f error for some using 8.1 Update Preview for Developers (Updated)

Update: Microsoft's Joe Belfiore just commented on Twitter "It was a "packaging problem" with the update. Try again and it should work." He then goes on to say "Still working on the "low storage" install prob 80188308. Note, this is not USER storage you can clear- it's install partition. Sit tight."

Microsoft may have finally addressed installation problems with the Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 Preview for Developers. The issue initially started when Update 1 for Windows Phone 8.1 Preview began on Monday and a few users downloaded the update, but it would not install. The associated error code is 8018830f, and Microsoft's Joe Belfiore tweeted that they were investigating.

Ever since yesterday, we have received a few tips that those with the previous 8018830f error are now getting Update 1 to their phones. However, within the last hour we have received multiple tips from users who are now being alerted to the update being available, along with a successful installation. The fix may also address those with the even more rare 80188306 error.

Heading into our 8.1 Update 1 forums, there are others also confirming the fix is in place. However, not everyone with the reported error is getting the update, so it is not clear if there is a rolling fix in place or there are other factors in play. One common denominator for a successful update seems to be having Lumia Cyan installed, in addition to being mostly Lumia 925s.

We field it to you though. Let us know in comments if either the 8018830f or 80188306 errors have been resolved for you and your phone. Likewise, jump into our 8.1 Update 1 forums for more information or if you have any questions.

Thanks, everyone, for the tips!

Gratz :D
I m still getting 80188306 error on my Lumia 630. :(
Too bad for you :)
Now, I got an update pop-up. Is this fixed update pop-up?
Yes :)
i got this error yesterday, but was solved when i changed the region of my phone to united states, you could try to change the region :)
I got the error to but then I searched again and then it went through. But after the update, IE browser is lagging and not responding touch within a second. Lumia 925
No luck, same error is persisting.
Still 80188308 here on my 920. Seems to be totally ignored as an issue compared to these others.
Yeah same, very frustrating
Yeah same, very frustrating
That's great news for all who couldn't update their phone. They fixed it pretty quickly as compared to the Bitlocker issue which is still pending.
Still waiting on Cyan. I don't have BL but don't want to wipe my phone for an update that doesn't bring anything I need. I can wait.
Me too.
Same here...
Yup, d/led Update 1 on Monday and still waiting for Cyan. Come on T-Mo.
bit locker issue is also cleared with update 1 and pfd users can now install cyan Joe belfiore stated
Where did you get that information from?
Its still not out, not sure, still risky
Source: Coz It would have been reported here if that was the case.
It was reported here, but it was a bit vague. That updates should work as normal going forward after update 1. Belfoire posted it on twitter.
wow MS on the ball
Microsoft on fire
Xbox Music update is the next target.
And they better do a good job at it cause damn...
Up Vote
Waiting₹
Ditto.
Ditto+Xatu = Natu
Hope so or im gonna go back to 8.0 i listen music all day first cause actually for battery drain
Am also still waiting for that, wanna see how things add up, Need a good Music player or else am doomed. An avid listener yey.
they said they will update every two weeks.....we are on third week.....no sign of update yet....seems they lost count of the weeks :/
Hope Microsoft solve the bit locker issue.
Yeah :(
Solved
Could you please provide a source for your information? Not being confrontational but from all the sites and firms I'm reading, that issue hasn't been resolved yet.
Fwiw... My 810 on DP 8.1 and bitlocked via corporate MDM applied the 8.1 gdr1 without issue this week. No downgrade.
YMMV, but worked for me
Bit unlocker ;)
Still no cyan
Ayo MS hustlin hard homie
They ballin
WHAT IS THIS MADNESS!?!?! they actually finally acknowledged that there is another error. they sky must be falling
Still waiting for the Cyan fix. :/
I had the error code 8007000d. but then I downgraded to WP8 and updated again, problem solved.
How did you down grade
Downgrade using nokia software recovery tool
What about those who have Samsung Ativ S or a HTC. How would they downgrade?
With the Nokia Recovery Tool I got here: http://www.nokia.com/br-pt/suporte/faq/?action=singleTopic&topic=FA142987 (that's the brazilian page, btw) It automaticaly detected the model and reinstalled the latest official firmware, very streamlined. it's important to DO NOT restore the backup rightaway, because it restore the WP8 backup and I think it will override the 8.1 one. update everything and then do a factory reset, and then restore the backup (factory reset in the About settings do not downgrade the OS)
Does this delete progress on apps and stuff? Like will I lose all my app data for game progress and things like that?
The downgrade process does delete everything, you should manualy do a backup (in the settings) before it.
It depends on the app developer using the new Onedrive backup feature, so probably yes, you will lose most of it. I had successfuly recovered some apps data, mainly the universal apps, I think.
But you can't be sure until it's too late, so prepare for the worst or don't do it.
Did you have Whatsapp, and did it recover whatsapp data/config/groups? Thanks
I have Whatsapp, it did not recover anything, even doing an in-app backup it did not used Onedrive, it's just local and unretrievable (very stupid in my opinion). it shows the groups I'm in, but with no history, just as empty entries in recent chats.
yeah..that's what I thought. I wish they would get off their high horses and implement a proper backup and restore for whatsapp data/settings. I don't even know what the purpose of the backup setting in whatsapp does...
Probably your phone doesn't have SD card slot, because WhatsApp backup is saved in sd card and that can be removed while recovery. Once i have reset in this way and got all my chats
and can't it save in a folder on the phone itself? most Windows phones don't have SD slot. and with the new API it could be stored in OneDrive, i presume. anyways, for me it's not a big deal, I don't care that much for the chat history.
I bought L925 only to have LTE on tmobile. currently Im using 928 (no LTE on tmo). so anyway because I cant move chat history from 928 to 925 im not using 925. i need chat history and hope with future update it will be saved to OneDrive
Nokia Recovery Tool.
What about 80188308 error? Hope it is fixed too.
Nope.
Damn. I hope so soon!!
My wife and I are getting this error on our Rogers 920s. I've tried hard resetting without resorting back up and with restoring backup only to have the same error both times.
I was having same error on 3 of my Rogers Lumia 920. Restored using Nokia recovery tool and then updated using preview and i got update 1 installed. Btw I was also getting .....308 error before.
Yeah the Microsoft forum post about the error had some people mention that this method works but at this point I'm not going to go that far to redo it. I'll try updating again when I get home and see if they fixed it.
I've seen a high proportion of Rogers 920 folks with this issue. Actually, I'm not sure I've seen one that didn't have it. Something specific to whatever Rogers did to the 920. I can confirm that going back to 8.0 with the software recovery tool, and then going through all the update steps does work. I did it myself. I needed to make space anyway.
Well, I have country variant 920 in Australia with developer preview but i have this same problem as well. Not prepared to go through those troublesome steps to rollback just yet.
Yea same here country variant 920.. if u look at joe belfiore's tweet, he did say this: "Still working on the "low storage" install prob 80188308. Note, this is not USER storage you can clear- it's install partition. Sit tight." if u look carefully at the error code it's just a slight difference between the last character (8 or f). my L920 has this problem instead of the fixed one. which means our memory is not enough to update. chill out they're working hard to fix things! (:
Rogers strikes again!
I gave up and just hard reset my phone. I'm now enjoying my folders
I did the same thing (Hard Reset) on my ATIV S and now I can't connect to any app using data (except in Wi-Fi). The top icon saying 3G/H+ as now disappeared. Please someone help.
check if you have roaming data enabled in case of roam, I had a similar issue when resetting because it unchecked that. if you're not in roam, then I don't know.
It didn't work. I tried ton contact Samsung support and WinSupport. If anyone is experiencing the same issue please share, help is welcome :) Thanks Marcos.
I have also Samsung ativ s . And the same problem you have occurred to me. What I did is , I talked to my carrier company , and they guided me to fix it by setting an APN.
Hi I had the same problem with mine - for some reason the phone now fails to pick up the APN settings from your carrier. Easily resolved -you will need to go to "apn" in the phone settings and enter the details there (you carrier should have these published on their site. If not, phone them up.). That should put you back on the mobile network. It did with me..
Thanks Waseem Gabour & revas527 I will try this :)
Nope just tried twice :'(
Thats it, downgrading now :)
Still getting this error.... UK 920
I reset my phone, reinstalled apps, and was able to install. 822
Which error were u getting? .....30f or .....308?
308
Do you think I should try a hard reset?
I did a clean install. It's all working now. Pain in the ass, but it doesn't take THAT long. 8.1 helped with the backup, so that will make everything immensely easier. Make sure you go into settings and backup your 'apps+settings' again.
No, I'm still getting the 80188308 error.
Yup I really hope Microsoft updates this so that we with the ...308 error can finally get it. It would be nice for some clarification what all these errors are about... Seems kind of like a mishap that they are keeping us all in the dark about. Also, im with a Lumia 920 on rogers in Canada
I also had this problem with Rogers Lumia 920. Hard reset and restore worked for me.
No brother downloaded and installed plenty a times but still not fixed, install stops with this error
Already downgraded and managed to update, not to worry, nice to have a clean fresh phone again
How did you down grade?
Nokias Recovery Tool
Nokia recovery tool. Google it, install it on your PC, follow directions, connect phone, follow more directions. Then, unplug phone from PC and apply update to phone.
Or Bing it
+1
Curious, what device?
L625
Fixed my L925 with instaled Cyan on DP version of WP8.1...
So now its time to fix the live store tile that is not working in the most part if the world.
Working for me
Witch region you are?
+720
Turn it off then on again. It should work
Already did this many times.
I'm sorry
I think it only works for the US. I think. I can tell u for sure it doesn't work for Canada.
Live tile for store is useless. If it would have showed download status it would have been useful. Right now instead of adding these useless features microsoft should work on battery issue and many other known issues
Not working for me either...
Try a soft reset. Unpin/repin it. Turn off the live tile unpin then repin and turn on the live tile again.
Already did this.
No errors on my end 1520
No cyan ! ....
Honest question...is MS planning on fixing podcasts?
What's your problem with that app?
For me it doesn't always save my place. It can't save my place if I'm listening to multiple podcasts at a time. Its really slow. It downloads podcasts over LTE even though I have "only download over Wi-Fi" checked. Did I mention it was slow? Its slow.
Yeah, it's incredibly annoying that it can only save the place of the last podcast you listened to. I went back to Podcast Lounge which is REALLY good. I had hoped I could go back to the standard os app, but they seem to have very little interest in fixing anything wrong with it. PL works much, much better.
I can't even load the thing. Nor can I find it in the store to redownload
It's pretty slow. Plus considering its an app it gets no updates in the DP
Still no go. Samsung ATIV S. Lithuania. Sad :(
Lithuania.. ;)
Bratislava
Nop, nothing yet. But, I don't care =J. I can wait.
Yeah got it this morning! Finally
This is fixed, but I encountered new error 80070002. Any solutions?
I think this is a space problem. I encountered that on my son's L520. After I moved a bunch of stuff onto the SD and gave it some 2Gb of space the error disappeared. It started the entire download and installation again and updated.
Got it this morning for a Lumia in the UK, unlocked. Thanks for being quick in rectifying the issue MSFT
Finally! ...3 days later. Chill out people.
Lumia 925, got it last night.
Is this a threat?
Ok. So where is the Cyan fix?! What I don't understand is if the issue affects only devices with bitlocker, why not make the cyan download available to others who don't use bitlocker?
They cannot selectively send out updates based on BitLocker usage.
I was hoping for the same thing, but maybe there are some issues with filtering it properly to block only those with BitLocker.
Cyan, come to papa now! Hehe
Papasmurf?
So what about the rest of us??? +920
Just got cyan on my 1520 at last bit late with the fix tbh
I never had an issue but it's good that it's been quickly fixed for those who were experiencing it.
Awesome!!! Now where is my Cyan fix????
Has anyone with L925 & L625 has successfully updated their gdr1 , who was previously getting the 8018830f error???
Yes L625 turn off back up uninstall preview for developer soft reset button 8seconds. Go to settings phonne update it will search for a few minutes then you should be good then when completed turn on back up & back up
I didn't do anything - got the update this morning and it works great! I have cyan also - I'm in the UK.
I just got the update, in India L625 cyan+dp
Is now HTC finally next? I cant update my htc 8s..
There was an article yesterday, the 8S won't receive the WP8.1 Update 1
Sadly, yesterdays article about Update 1 & the HTC 8S says it will never get Update 1.
Good to know JB and the team are working hard on all issues. Grateful!
When will it be officially announced
Official w8.1 is still hanging on the top, and u r taking about official gdr1, it is like spreading salt on the cuts...
Why can't Microsoft store an actual error message for each code and spit that out instead? It's not like we are still trying to conserve bytes in our 4k EPROMs for Pete's sake.
maybe error codes are automatically generated showing about which step failed, it's an long hexadecimal number, there are a lot of them...
Any update on the HTC 8X problem?
The 8X/8S "problem" is that HTC has not submitted the drivers necessary to work with 8.1 yet. Once they do that, those models will be included in the update.
We have to admit today that Microsoft's reaction is now within an appropriate timing. And they are surprising us, Lets hope HTC will rock in few hours and make us all happy again.
I've got the WP 8.1 update 1 with developer preview and Lumia black on my Lumia 925, but I reverted the developer preview installation to update to Cyan.
How? 925 here needing to get Cyan.
The 625 & 925 were the first phone's to get Cyan update
Ok well I guess that it wasn't for people with carrier brandings lil T-Mobile because I've gotten nothing.
We need cyannnnnnnn
I have got still ..306 error on my Lumia 925 with Cyan. Hope this is fixed without FW restore, I have done that some weeks ago to fix the Bitlocker issue and now again..? :/
Turn off back up uninstall preview for developer soft rest. Check for update after you install update turn backup on & back up
Does not help..
This is really good news, but I'm still waiting for the bitlocker issue solution
When is a bug fixing update coming because alot of bugs are plaguing my phone...
Too late.. I used Nokia Recovery tool yesterday.. Lol.
Is this the fix for updating to cyan from preview for devs? (snickles, hhehehehehe)
But still my phone shows me as Lumia black....when can we get the cyan update for 720 in India!
Did you read the article yesterday about posting this type of comment?
Downloading an update for my wp8.0 Lumia 1020, not sure it is cyan.
Does not work on my L630, gets 80188306 ( it has both 8,1 and Cyan but 8.1 update1 it will not take), my L820 and L1020 took the update without problems, but they again misses Cyan ;-)
I had same problem with my 930. I need to recover my 930 back to WP 8.1 before getting update 1. See here for instruction http://www.wpcentral.com/how-recover-bricked-lumia-windows-phone
What about the low storage :(
We are running the Nokia Lumia 925. One updated fine and the other is getting 0x80188308 errors.
Can you tell me os versions of both phones
OS Version: 8.10.12397.895 Firmware revision number: 3051.40000.1404.0011 Hardware revision number: 0.5.2.1
And another phone's version!?
OS Version: 8.10.14147.180
I thought the problem is with the build I'm not sure but I thought...12400 build was updated to gdr1.. And 12397 have problem while updating...but I'm not sure...
Finally enjoying gdr 1 on my Lumia 925!
My L925 is with the preview on GDR1 but still showing Lumia Black, why didn't I can update for cyan? ☹
Because of the preview. Please also read the commenting guidelines that were posted earlier today.
Disable the preview for dev app and try check for update..
Possibly waiting on Carrier approval? My 925 T-MoUS is in the same spot. No Preview for Developer editions prevent a carrier OTA. You will get "official" Cyan when your carrier releases it even though your P4D puts you ahead of the curve.
Woah! That was pretty fast. Microsoft is in real hurry not leave a single dent in its OS.
Haha seriously, the issues we have had shouldn't be happening, DP or no DP
Great news for those without the update. Loving it on my 620. Now bring on the Xbox Music update.
Installed fine on my 925 when it released. So now, my question is, if they knew about and fixed this 3 dats later....what is taking so long to fix the bitlocker issue since they already know about it? It's been a week or two, right? I still can't update since tmobile is still dicking around with "testing". More like "testing" their customers patience.
They're two different issues. Let's say that you know that you have a chipped fingernail and you also know that you have a broken leg. Are you going to be able to fix one as easily as the other simply because you know about them both?
Point was have they even said anything about it? Other than knowing it exists? And instead of fixing that first, they have now had two botched updates for a small percentage of people. I'm waiting like everyone else but them not commenting further about it is not helping.
Yeah the 8018830f error was fixed for me yesterday on my 925 with Cyan.
It's too late. I recovered my 930 with Nokia Recovery Tool and upgraded to WP 8.1 GDR 1 :-D
Verizon needs to hurry the fuxk up with this 8.1 update
Fixed 8018830f error Lumia 925 cyan india
How I Can download cyan update in India through preview for developers on my Lumia 520???¿??
You can't yet.
Cyan fix might be more important...
Still have the 0x80188308 error on my Rogers Lumia 920 :-( 33 page thread on Microsoft support site, still no information on what the cause is or when/if a fix is coming: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wpdp-wpupdate/0x801883...
Same issue on my 920, on Rogers network. So upset. Also getting 0x80188308 error. :'(
When Microsoft is fixing bitlocker issue??
I think bitlocker issue is much more serious than this one as windows phone 8.1 is much more needed update......what's say guyzzz???
Agree with this. It's been an issue longer than the update 1 error. Should have been fixed first/by now.
Ativ S Neo on Sprint still getting the 308 error.
Hard reset ur phone... And install the preview for the developers... Sign in and check for the updates.. No errors while installation... It works great
I did It, and still not working.
I have a Lumia 925 without cyan, and I updated successfully without any problems
We' re all zeta testers, my friends...
Just tried update again on 822. No luck still. Got error 80188308 and lost half of my battery. What can I do to fix this? What am I doing wrong?
Nothing, it's a MS bug.
Fixed for me since yesterday... Was about to do a Nokia recovery downgrade and tried 1 more time and it went through
Folders are a nice addition
Done successfully on Lumia 625 on 8.1 DP + Cyan, in fact 02 updates have been pushed, 12400.899 & the 14147.180.
I m using Lumia 625. I was troubled by bug 8018830f occurring while installation try the above method. To get rid of this problem...
Mine tooo
I am still getting error 0x80188308
Me2
Great, they fixed the previous error, and now I have a new one. 0x80188308
I dont know why no one is addressing this 0x80188308 error. What is this error related to? Why is it showing up and also says its 'temporary, try again'. Can someone throw some light on this error. please.
Agree with AnuragSonti, been getting the 0x80188308 since Monday. Very irritating as cannot find any acknowledgement of a problem anywhere. (running WP8.1 DP on L920 Nokia Black in the UK).
Same UK l920 on 3
I second that agreement. (running WP8.1 DP on L822 Nokia Black on Verizon). I don't want to reset, all I want is a fix so I can update.
I am running WP 8.1 DP on L920 Black (RM-821_eu_euro1_276) and it says the error is temporary. I have been updating it over and over again but the same error appears. And no one acknowledges this error, not even Microsoft. I dont want to reset my phone, please fix it ASAP.
Yep, still a problem for my Verizon 822. And, as said, no one seems to want to acknowlege this one and do anything.
Yep im getting this silly error still
Worked for me on my Lumia 925 and 625 both on Cyan.
Ativ S can't update yet.
No nor mine
Do you have many apps running on the phone? Mine did. I managed to update by doing: Do a full backup, then hard reset. Then try the update again. Once the phone restarts and you enter your MS account, you should be able to restore (most) of the apps and messages, etc,et. I say most apps - I lost 2 apps which were no longer published in the MS Store....
Finally got the update. Issue is resolved for me. Gdr 1 update is working fine now...
My "store" live tile is not functoning in Lumia 520 (India)
8018830f no more, cheers MS
my phone is "still up to date" :/ the preview for developers app is installed and i am singed in. with Cyan and the WP updates before i had no problems :/
8018830f is solved for me, I received the 8.1 Update 1 yesterday :) L925 Cyan, HU
getting 80072ee2 error now on my Lumia 925 :(
I have also the same problem..
My phone is not respond after restarting. Then I recover my phone software using Nokia recovery tool.
My phone is Lumia 720
Great, now one error gone and new errors coming up.
Still they is The error 308.
(Lumia 820 Wp8.1 DP, Nokia black)
<p>Answer : FIRST PARAGRAPH Dude.</p>
Pretty sad they fixed this in a few days and here we are waiting for cyan in DP!! Starting to piss me off. Yes I know I can go back to 8.0. But I don't feel like it smh
Anyone have a Nokia Icon on Verizon that shows no update available? Can't get 8.1 update
I m still getting the 80188306 Error on my Lumia 930, I've tried all
80188308 error for me on my unlocked Lumia 920
Have you tried reading the first paragraph of the article? It speaks!
Just maybe I wrote my comment before the update was posted. Think.
Yeah ditto :)
My pohne's power button is damaged, how to get out of apps corner????????
Burn it? Jk. Wait for the battery to drain.
Nothing happens by doing that bud..
Restart,hard reset,unlocking.. Doesn't works.
If that's the case, I would suggest you to ask about this in the forum or switch back to windows phone 8.0 by using Nokia recovery tool. But that's not going to be an issue as you can close the app corner by clicking the switch on/off button. As you must have already did the hard reset using your on/off button, you could do that easily.
How do I restart my phone to wipe it back clean off 8.1 developers preview?????
Use the forums man. Still read here. and use forums. Help the community. http://www.wpcentral.com/preview-developers-still-need-downgrade-lumia-cyan
Thanks ill look into it now
Yay Microsoft! Fix those bugs! (insert random happy emote here)
I keep getting that I have an update an available, I downloaded it and then when it comes to install (when the gears show up), my phone restarts after a short period and I get the 308 error
Read the article completely and with your eyes open dude. Your answer is in the FIRST PARAGRAPH only.
Glad some got the update I still have the 308 error on Lumia 920 in UK...
Use nokia software recovery to roll beck to windows phone 8.0 then update without developer preview to wp 8.1 and then install dp check for update thats how works for me lumia 925 good luck
Good job Joe on the 308 issue. Glad to have that referenced! God speed MS!
Error 80188308 problem is already fixed?
308 is not fixed. He said they are working on it.
This^ holding out for a good result.
Lm 925, finally successfully installed the update yesterday but some
apps didn't worked without reinstall!
Previously I had error on my Lumia 920. I will try to update tomorrow.
Error 80188308 problem is already fixed ?????

I didn't have hard resetted through buttons, I've just pulled out the battery and voila, it still on apps corner.. I do have the solution for this and I've applied that nd my phone is fine now. But I wanna know if wpcentral or any other people know how to rectify this particular problem.
I have CV 925 in Aus, no cyan here but with update 1 aboard ;)
Succesfully resolved on my girlfriends danish 925 :)
Hi Marcos, thanks for your help but it does'nt work. Can someone have the same issue ? I hope there is a solution.
Dammit! Why can't the 8x get the update sooner!? :(
Still got the 308 error (Ativ S)
Me too
I did a full reset using Nokia software recovery, and now I have the update but I have been downgraded to Lumia black when I was on cyan
Maybe try the following use the SW recovery tool, OTA update to Cyan then enrol onto the preview program for the DP OTA updates.
Finally worked for me. Took 30+ mins on the cogs.
Error 80188308 is still afflicting my Lumia 920, UK unbranded
Will be, hasn't been fixed yet.
fixed for my L625 :)
Anyone any news about ..306 issue? Shall I wait or go ahead with Nokia SW Recovery tool?
Please fix the IE11 UA mess
One for the Samsung Ativ S users. Has anyone else managed to install 8.1 GDR1 and then had to set up their mobile data APN manually?
I get the 308 error, but ever since developer preview 8.1 I've got to set up APN manually on my Ativ S. And the ringtone reverts to "horizon" from any custom tone I choose whenever my phone reboots :-(
Good to see I am not the only one. I am constacting Samsung to find out where the firmware update has gotten to...
Just got off the phone from Samsung UK support about updates for my ATIV S.... and not much cause for hope on that one. It took 3 departments before they put me through to the right one (for some reason they thought it was a dishwasher). Quoting the model GT-i8750 seemed to get the right response. However, I was then informed that I was unable to install Android on this particular handset..... (err, thanks guys, I didn't actually plan on doing that in the first place). After sorting that one out, the assistant then took 7 minutes to find someone who actually knew anything about this handset. It would seem, I am apparently the first person in the UK to contact them about this phone. After all that, they have no information regarding any firmware updates at this time [head banging on desk]..

Still have an 80188308 error, Rogers lumia 920 with wp8.1 preview
Same error as before, can't update right now this might be a temporary problem! Bullshit Microsoft fix this problem.
Lumia 822 US Verizon...wp 8.1 preview
My 822 has same problem. It will come
I figured one of the errors was related to the storage allocated to the o/s. Good to hear they are working on it, as I can't wait to get GDR1 installed on my phone and start customizing with live folders!.

Nothing has been fixed in Australia, NL 920 , Telstra, no cyan update available here.. 80188308 crap...11 gigs of free space..so that shouldn't be an issue..
It's not user free space that's the issue it's the install folder.

Still not working 920 UK
Woke up to find the update notification was on the screen, checked WPC and saw this post and thought yay! Installed the update, and still same 80188308 error. I thought the update may of been cached as I've tried pretty much everyday this week, so I tried to download and update again (thinking fresh update) but still errors.
Same for me as well, update notification on the screen, same result 80188308 :(
But when I check for update..........it doesn't show up
Still no joy for me on the 630 - still getting the 306 error
need a help..... I am using lumia 520. while i checking for my 1st update it shows an error as WE ARE CURRENTLY UNABLE TO CHECK FOR UPDATES ( 80072EE2 ) somebody pls help me..
I did hard reset on my L925, and the update work for me after download preview developer. Sadly that I have to install again all my application and lost some of my data. Don't forget to backup first If you want to hard reset. I don't know if MS already fix the problem or not when the update was working.
Hmm I wonder, if the 80188308 error is indeed low storage on an install partition. Its probably data not being cleared and we have downloaded and installed loads of apps, leaving the partition almost full.
I hope they can come up with a fix, otherwise it seems as if it will have to be the Nokia software recovery tool
:(
I think they will release an update to storage sense app to resolve it. It's probably a case of deleting temp files.
Still get the error Lumia 630ds
Issue resolved.. Was getting the error.. I thought it was a packaging error... Lumia 925, India.. Dislike Cortana alpha... With US it could understand everything.. But in alpha I had to set UK as the default language, and it doesn't understand anything.. MS, y u do this?? U killing me! :( please allow the US speech recognition in India... Would be more than happy...
No joy for me so far, still receiving the error on my 920 in the UK on EE

Worse still, 1 month later and not a word from MS or Joe Belfiore. How long are we supposed to "sit tight" ?
To resolve this problem, add another language to your phone and making the display language and from then restart, the phone and tried to download the update will happen. (it Worth)
Do not forget to thank me that .
