Facebook Beta hidden in Store (1520 on 8.1)/can't download error 80073Cf9

[WPCentral Question]

I originally had a 1520 on 8.1DP. I then downgraded using the Nokia Software Recovery Tool to 8.0 so I would get the official upgrade to 8.1 and the Cyan firmware. All of my apps have installed fine except Facebook Beta.

I keep getting error 80073cf9 when I try to install it. I deleted it from my download list to clear the error. However, now when I search the store (either on the web or on my phone) I cannot find Facebook Beta in the store anymore (however if I find a link to the app directly on the web, it will show up in the store on my phone just fine). If I then try to download the app, I then get that same error code above.

I just searched for Facebook Beta and it came up without a problem. If you just search for Facebook, it won't show. Give this a try.

You can try SysApp Pusher to try download it... Or you can download and install it manually through windowsphone.com if you can find it...

Thanks for the suggestions. I was the one who posted earier but forgot to login.

I've tried searching "Facebook beta" facebook beta does not appear in the search at all. - Here is a screenshot of my store results.


Using either Sys App Pusher or WindowsPhone.com and I still get the same error message. The app will download then start to install. It will freeze at the install point below then I will get the error message.

Are you downloading to sd?

That seemed to be the issue! For some reason it wouldn't install to the SD card. After changing where I install apps, turned off/on the phone and found a link online, it installed. However, still couldn't find it in the store...very odd. Its on the phone now though and that's what counts. Thanks!
