Running into 80188308 installing GDR1 or Pre Update

[Yakkob]

I aint doing a factory reset again just to update this bloody phone.
In fact I'm getting a little pee'd off having had to do a factory reset EVERYTIME an update is ready.

Microsoft please sort out the testing at your end.

I push windows phone all the time, but it's starting to wear a little thin.

Think about the devs too. I don't do any IAP in apps/games exactly for this reason, as I know at some point I'm going to have do a factory reset.

Well, I'm staying as is until you fix it... So please TRY and fix it without making everyone do a factory reset.

Thank you

After trying so many things.. I finally got the update to work after Hard Resets failed to help, etc. I used the Nokia Recovery tool and went back to 8.0 then went back up. Only after this was I successful in installing 8.1 Update 1. (Rogers Lumia 920)

Do you think this would work on any windows phone not getting the update?

Same solution helped me

Restoring backup after using the software recovery tool doesn't restore your saved game progress, does it?

I've tried 4 times today and I keep getting this same error on the 521. I had 1.6 GB of free space so I don't think it's a space issue. I was able to install update on both of my daughters 521 devices. Don't get it. Thanks.

Hard reset with no restore
Hard reset with another account
all have failed

Nope. See my statement above

Some people reporting that it's fixed here - Microsoft's Joe Belfiore investigating Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 update errors | Windows Phone Central but still no luck for me.

I have a Samsung Ativ S, and had the 80188308 error even after i reset my phone. Now i made it, i have updated my phone (i had to downgrade to wp8.0 and then update 5-6 time until i get all updates). My ROM is GT-I8750_XXCMK2_R_signed, and my CSC is COA (i had the same even before downgrade so i dont know what the problem was)
Sorry for my english...

One thing I noticed, after the update downloads and the phone restarts and you get the spinning wheels for awhile, just before the 80188308 error message pops up, my Wi-Fi gets automatically turned off and I'm forced onto LTE. Wondering if the forced unavailability of a Wi-Fi connection might have something to do with the error happening and the update not proceeding? Could that "Temporary Problem" be lack of Wi-Fi?

So I got it to work yesterday...
I've a Nokia 920 (Rogers) in Canada...unlocked on Bell

I had to use the Nokia tool to flash back to "black" (WP8) and go through all the updates.
Basically:
Backup -> Nokia Tool -> Developer Preview install app-> Update phone a bunch of times....bingo!

Thank god it's not just me. Same situation and I don't know why or how to fix it.

Lumia 920 UK Carrier Variant over here and I've been getting the 0x80188308 error message for the past four days... No GDR1 yet!

 

[AgentSplurge]

MS seem to be keeping rather quiet about this.

 

[paddinton]

Getting the same on my Lumia 820 (still on Black). Not sure if this is related, my 8 gig sd card, has over 2 gig free, but Storage Sense reports 137gig of temporary files.

No your not alone! Same problem with me except I didn't have the WI-FI shut off, Lumia 822 Verizon USA.
