Hi dani0323,

 

I have researched this issue and learned that other customers encountering download errors while attempting to upgrade software have performed a factory reset in order to complete the upgrade.

 

Before you perform a factory reset on your phone please ensure your device is fully charged and try the upgrade again. I noticed that some times the upgrade fails if phone is not fully charged.

 

Please keep in mind that performing a Factory Reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.
