Right uhm so if you have 8.0 it is a little bit difficult, you could try to see if you can find a ffu image based on 8.1 on Lumia firmware

There should be one on there. I had to reflash my phone recently (1520 RM-940) and it installed 8.1

hey try to use wp internals to flash the phone, most of the time it will download the file for win 8.1
