Android security patch won't install
Most security patch problems are caused by not enough storage space or a weak WiFi connection. Plug your phone in to charge, make sure you're on good WiFi, and try the update again. If that doesn't work, restart your phone and try once more.
Android security updates need room to install and a strong internet connection. If your storage is almost full or your WiFi keeps dropping, the update will fail. We'll clear some space, check your connection, and try again. This almost always fixes it.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Trying to update over a weak WiFi signal or data connection — security updates are large files and need strong WiFi
- Not charging the phone fully before updating — if the battery runs out during the update, it has to start all over
- Not leaving enough free storage space — clear at least 1-2 GB before you try
Signs you need professional help
- You've freed up 2 GB of space, you're on strong WiFi, the phone is fully charged, and the update still won't install
- You get a specific error code or error message that won't go away
