How can i get Windows Phone 8.1 on my Huawei Ascend W1 at the moment?

[Stefan Di]

I got a Huawei Ascend W1 running update 8.0.10521.155 with the developer preview. Huawei will not upgrade it anymore and it seems like Microsoft has pulled the developer preview 8.1 from the phone. I want to get WP8.1 on it in the most possible easy way with or without the SD-card bug. I hope there is someone who knows how.

I have a Huawei Ascend W1 and had no problem upgrading to 8.1 via the DP app?
Try unticking the box to remove yourself from DP program, remove the DP app, reboot device then re-install it.
Tick the box to re-enroll and once complete check again for updates.
I've recently received the 8.1.1 update and all fine apart from the known MicroSD problem which is a firmware issue and sadly will probably never be fixed as Huawei has ended their interest in the WP platform.

I found this - Tutorial: Jailbreak Windows Phone 8 or Install Windows Phone 8.1 on Huawei Ascend W1 | Sonstige Windows Phone 8 Smartphones | ForumDas Windows Phone Magazin - WParea.de

Hopefully that helps you.
