Finally got it working! No more Error 8007000d!

This is the steps I took to make WP8.1 work on my HTC 8S. (I'm located in Europe)

1. Download the shipped RUU from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2094384
2.Boot into bootloader, connect usb to PC and flash.
enter bootloader by shutdown phone,
then press and hold camera button and vol + and vol -,
then press power button until it starts booting release power button, while not releasing the other buttons untill bootloader is reached.​
3. After flash, go search for HTC updates and install them all until it says phone is upto date.
4. Get Developer Unlocked, and start searching for updates again. It will be Microsoft Updates this itme - install them all.

Done.

Man, that took all night!

Final Note!
Apparently we can not get Cortana on a HTC 8S phones sold outside the US. Using the region/language trick. The shipped ROMs from HTC does not contain the English (US) phone language. So you can change the Region, Speech, Keyboard etc, but not the Phone Language. And
This is also an issue for HTC 8X. Hopefully Cortana will be released to regions outside US.

Amigo..

If I live in America (Mexico) My OS is 8.0.9908.16 and to install the PFD need the OS 8.0.10322.71 or higher, I too came out Error 80070002 when installing the "RUU_RIO_U_APO_00_HTC_Europe or RUS" my phone work?

It changed something in the cid or telephone frequencies or something to let me useless my phone?

    Installed WP8.1 today on my HTC 8S via the Preview for Developers app.
    First impressions are it's very slick and my phone appears to run quicker.
    I needed 704.05 free space on my phone to install WP8.1. Therefore I had to uninstall most of my apps and a couple of games.
    However when reinstalling them they can now be installed to the SD card!!

    You have two possibility:
    - Install Windows Phone 8.1 via the Preview for Developers (PFD) program.
    - Wait for the official deployment.

    I do not give you more information on the PFD, because the official deploy Windows Phone 8.1 (and Lumia Cyan) for Nokia Lumia 1520 should soon began. Also, Microsoft currently stopped for the moment (for a indefinitely period) deploying Windows Phone 8.1 on phones equipped with PFD.

    So, I advise you to wait.

    Microsoft said:
    Note: If your device is enabled for the update but no new version is made available to you: There are a small set of devices for which we aren’t offering the latest build of the Developer Preview program due to an identified problem that requires mobile operator or OEM driver updates. These will be offered when the official update for your phone is available.
