David: That was VZW alowing Icon users on dev preview to install new firmware (read: Not Cyan...yet)
Smoheath: HTC and Verizon recently rolled out a firmware update for the 8x on 8.0. I know Cyan isn't coming for 8x lol.
Anyway, thanks for the responses, I'll wait until HTC releases their firmware specifically for 8.1. I was just being ocd and thinking I could roll back and install that firmware, then jump forward. I appreciate the help! Thanks!
