With Verizon finally releasing the latest WP8 update, it was time to address my update error. I knew the easy solution was a hard reset, so my first order of business was to fling 5,000 birds and earn 100,000 coins since, for whatever reason, the cloud backup doesn't include app settings. While I worked the long grind to complete the games, I had a useless conversation with Windows Phone Support in the hopes I might avoid a hard reset. While prompt and responsive, they had no answer for me. After popping the final cheevo on both games, I took the plunge and did the reset. The restore was pretty extensive, missing only my start screen and app settings. Now able to update the phone, I got me some portico goodness which hopefully includes group MMS messaging. Comparing before/after it looks like I got some additional firmware updates as well, and hopefully something that prevents my update check from pooping out for next update.
