Greetings,

Thanks for the help, cellular error was the issue and did try to use the some of the suggestions you gave but it didn't work so as the device was barely used, I decided to factory reset it which comes the issue as I am unable to set the phone as a new device after resetting it as it shows the error update is required as the image above.
