What’s the error being shown?


If the (failing) update is not 17.4 but some earlier version, delete that and re-download. Settings > General > iPhone Storage > scroll down, select Show All, and find the iOS update and delete it, and then try the update again.


If you have an add-on VPN client app installed, remove it, restart the iPhone, and try again.


You can use a Mac or PC: If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support


Or bring the iPhone into an Apple Store and ask for help.
