T-Mobile HTC 8X Windows Phone 8 Portico update now available

Well, that was quick. The Portico update for the HTC 8X is now available, roughly a day after T-Mobile announced that it was delaying the update  to “perform a few tweaks.” We’re not exactly sure if the “tweaks” were actually made or if T-Mobile simply caved in to the dozens of HTC 8X owners who complained about the delay on their support forum.

If you own the HTC 8X, you should receive an update notification which will prompt you to download the 8.0.10211.204 update. If  you’re not the type who like to wait around for the update notification, you should be able to manually ping Microsoft’s update servers be going to Settings > Phone Update. The update should address multiple bugs throughout the OS and keep the HTC 8X from randomly rebooting. Other improvements and fixes include better Bluetooth pairing, stability enhancements, new Messaging features, SMS call rejection and several WiFi and Hotspot tweaks.

Good news everyone!  We’re releasing the update today!

I can definitely understand some of the sentiment in some of the above posts, you deserve to have a properly working device. This is why we wanted to ensure we did everything we could for a smooth update. Thank you again for your patience.
