There is also aworkaround availableto fix this issue: all you need to do is remove the SD card before starting the update and the build will install without any problems. However, if you do decide to install build 14926 on your Windows phone, keep in mind that most likely, you’ll encounter SIM card issues and you won’t be able to unlock your terminal.

Fortunately, there’s also a workaround available for the SIM card and PIN issues as well. You can perform ahard resetand this will solve the issue, but you should opt to use a back-up build in order to restore the content previously saved on your device.
