Android security patch won't install
Security patch problems are caused by not enough storage space or a weak WiFi connection. Charge your phone fully, make sure you're on good WiFi, and free up at least 1 GB of storage. Then try the update again.
Android security updates need space to install and a strong internet connection. If your storage is almost full or your WiFi keeps dropping, the update fails. We'll check your storage, strengthen your WiFi connection, and try again.
