    Phone Link Error Message

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9.

    When my phone fails to upgrade I just keep trying. One upgrade took 3 or 4 tries.
