Sorry, I should have looked at what you have first - that puts a different complexion on that part of your problem. I saw something on the forums about the 8x needing a firmware update before GDR1 could be downloaded and installed, and that HTC and MS were working on that together. I don't know anything about the status of the fix, since I don't have that phone and haven't been following it. Maybe someone with one will pipe up on what to do about that.

As for Cortana, though, based on everything you've posted, it ought to be there and working, so I'm at a loss for what else to try. I'm sorry I haven't been able to help.
