Hi all,

A few hours ago I finally managed to update my Nokia Lumia 820 with WP8.1 GDR1. Before I was getting the error code 0x80188308, and I had WP8.1 Developer Preview + Lumia Black.

What I did is as follows:
I formatted the SD card. - It did not help. Phone memory (not the SD card) available: 3.1 GB
I reset my device + formatting the SD card at the same time. Then restored the same Microsoft account with the backup, and before redownloading all the apps, I downloaded only the Preview for Developers app, logged in again, and downloaded the update with English (UK) settings everywhere. - It worked! :)
Other details about my phone: Still having Lumia Black, product code for Germany, Available phone memory: 4.5 GB.

This is what I did - I hope it would help some of you. Keeping my fingers crossed!

I got it to work on my L920...
Lumia Cyan came out for my phone so I downgraded and then upgraded to Lumia Cyan. Afterwards I installed Preview for Developers and installed 8.1 GDR1 very quickly and easily. This also fixed an issue with my phone where it used to take 2 hours for every update. Now it took like 15 minutes for GDR1. I'm happy I downgraded. Just a bit sad cause I lost some of my data, but saved some of it because I did a back up.
Good luck to people with this issue.
