Latest Nokia Lumia Black Update Fails with Error 80188309


The latest Nokia Lumia Black update rolling out in India has faced issues during install on the device. The update downloads on the device without errors, however, during the install, the update stops with the following error - "The update was downloaded, but couldn't be opened. (80188309)" . Apparently, this issue has appeared across the globe that includes Germany, Sweden, Italy, Nigeria, etc across Lumia devices 820, 920, etc.


One of the speculations going on is that the issue is caused on devices that do not have the Windows Phone 8 GDR3 update which in fact most device do not have. Those devices which have the developer preview installed did not face issues with this update. It appears that Nokia goofed up with the update on a very large scale and the effect is globally spread. Some websites are suggesting you to install the developer preview with specific steps, however, that may void your warranty, hence, it is best to wait for the resolution directly from Nokia.
