You should have at least 10 gigs free to update wirelessly. If you can't free up that much space, try using a computer to update, it requires less free space on your phone.

Make sure you:

• Have your battery charged at least 50%. Better yet, keep it plugged in during the update.

• Do not have power save mode turned on.

• Do not have a beta version installed.
