830 - RM-985 arrives with Denim installed

[PiggyMiddle]

OK, not sure if I am missing something with the 830 and Denim update, but my 830 arrived yesterday and it shows Denim installed.

It came in a Msoft-sealed box, so it looks to me that they are shipping these with Denim now.

It's always had Denim but a crippled version that won't allow you to install new Lumia camera.

 

[Harrie-S]

Yes and no.
All the 830 come with denim pre-installed but they still needed an additional update to use Lumia Camera 5.
Now it's is possible than newly made 830's already also get this last update pre installed.
Or if you already set up your 830 and the Denim update is released for your device this latest update is already downloaded and installed.

You probably did have the full denim, when I got my second 930 (insurance job) it came brand new in a sealed box and it had 8.1 gdr1 on it, also a friend got a 925 and it came with 8.1 on it

it had 8.1 gdr1 on it, also a friend got a 925 and it came with 8.1 on it

So how do I tell? It shows "8.1 update" but I don't see gdr1 anywhere.

When you go to settings >about ,then tap "more info" what OS version does it show?

 

[Darren Walsh]

8.1 update is gdr 1

8.10.14157.200

I think you still have the incomplete Denim. Newest OS version is 8.10.14234 or 8.10.14219. Do you have the new Lumia Camera?

Denim is firmware and the L830 was shipped with a preliminary Denim firmware. It doesn't matter what OS you have installed (even on W10 you still have the same crippled fw). MS is currently pushing out this fw for many regions but not all.
The fw update will enable all the pureview capabilities that you will not get without it. If you are able to install Lumia Camera (not classic) you will see that it doesn't even open.

if you check this site you will for example see that the full Denim is available for the L830 in Canada with its respective fw numbers, but if you scroll down to USA it lists not available yet. With all updates installed the OS version on my US-ATT shows as 8.10.14219.341 and the fw version as 02040.00012.14404.07019.

OK, thanks. Thought it might be too good to be true.
