Do I need to roll back to Windows Phone 8.0 in order to get Lumia Cyan or Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1?

Yes, indeed, earlier in the update there was a bug with BitLocker keys, which turned the device into a brick after the update. At the moment, the bug is fixed and the user can receive updates without fear of the phone breaking, but according to rumors, Bluetooth 4.0 LE does not work with this update.
