I think, while there is lots of information here, and people try to keep it organized, I find it impossible to get the correct information I need or find it posted anywhere.

I have a real AT&T 1520.2 RM-940, unlocked (I own it), and am in the US.

I read AT&T US 1520 users with real 1520.2 are now getting real WP 8.1 + Cyan. Correct?
I unlocked my phone through AT&T (I own it), will that affect me getting WP 8.1?
I (like most everyone) have WP 8.1 DP. I also read that the block from MS allowing DP phones to be upgraded has been removed. True?

So, basic question...do I need to downgrade to 8.0 t0 get the released WP 8.1 + Cyan Update?

So far, I have been checking Phone Update and no updates.

This is what was written on WPC about downgrading - Windows Phone 8.1 Preview users still need to downgrade their OS in order to get Lumia Cyan | Windows Phone Central

Unlocking your phone has no effect on updates. Are you checking the Nokia site to see if your phone is ready for update?

Availability in North America - Nokia

It says 1520 is available so... ?

Thanks for the response. According to the forum sticky here, it shows:

UPDATE 2014/07/18: The update has been suspended due to an issue with Bitlocker. It will resume soon.

Then on 2014/07/26 it shows:
UPDATE 2014/07/26: The update has been resumed.

To me, that says MS has removed the block keeping Developer Previewers from getting the real 8.1 + Cyan.

That's what I'm trying to understand. Also, I read something that in the US, AT&T is releasing 8.1 region by region. I'm in S. California. Others in CA getting 8.1 + Cyan?
