Running into 80188308 installing GDR1 or Pre Update

[ramyZgHR]

Same error on my 925. Cyan, Croatia.

Me too, on a Samsung ATIV I8750 running 8.1 DP in the UK.

Just wondering if anyone else affected by this error had switched region to US to access Cortana and then switched back to UK before the 8.1 GDR1 update?

Trying to redownload after switching region/language from US to UK! Hopefully it will work!

I tried with UK and US setup (with/without Cortana etc.) in my 920 with 8.1 dev preview, and it still fails with error 0x80188308 after the download, when it tries to install (gears..).

Oh well, all the earlier updates were ok, I guess I was due for a screwup..

-D

I'm retrying too -- after removing US Language and Keyboard options.
I'll know if this helps in around 20 minutes.

Same problem on Lumia 920. Happened twice in a row. Running it again with the Diagnostics app running

 

[Ryan ODonnell]

No luck at all after changing

Guys same on on Lumia 920 from EE, but just to calm you down... give it a day, as always this is because the servers are hammered!

In order to address this error, you need to move to a faster WiFi

Same problem on my Ativ S.

 

[nusense]

Just installed on non cyan 925. No problems and pretty quick download and install.

 

[MrSublimo]

Yeah same problem here! Tried 3 times and it says 'The update was downloaded but couldn't be opened.'

Same here on Samsung ATIV S - Portugal (unbranded). No heating or battery problems detected, fails after entering gears phase.

I do have region set to US - Haven't made any other attempts under different settings.

There's a Wi-Fi glitch in the WP8.1 DP which slows down the connection if it is a public Wi-Fi... I'm having the same issue on my Office network.. It should work fine in your home network

Not sure if sarcasm, but my current (office) connection is pretty crappy...

 

[eddieolong]

I'm on my home network and its still not working. 1520.

 

[anon(5973126)]

No it's not... Just a windows feature..

If this is true, does updating fix this glitch? I tought my new employers Wi-Fi SUCKED altho it works decent on my SmugDroid, and on my ATIV S I have to keep disconnecting and connecting again hour after hour to have some kind of internet access... This could explain it!

Re: Running into Problem 80188308 installiing GDR1 or Pre Update

I had a similar issue with the battery the first time I attempted to install the update. It was around 50% and plugged in to charge. I started the update and left it to install. Came back maybe 30 mins later and the battery was dead somehow (even though it was plugged in). When it had recharged I first saw that 80188308 error message. Tried to install again and this time after rebooting to apply the update I got the same error message.
​I have the same model and carrier as you do.
