I´m on CLT-L09 8.1.0.131 (C521) and I´m always getting the ¨Not aproved¨ message. What can I do?

Tried to do this but unfortunately i don't have access to my router's DNS. Tried to do it with a wifi hotspot through my laptop and for some reason it kept registering the DNS ip address as the ipv4 address that the router was giving to my laptop. Tried to change it manually but no luck at all, the phone still sees as dns gateway the ip address from my laptop given by the router. Any suggestions ?

Where are you changing your region from? I'm located in the USA and trying to get the 9.0 update, but haven't been able to as of yet.
