ATT Android Update for HTC One (M8)
I have attempted twice download and install the newest update for the HTC One M8 from ATT, and both time the installation has failed. Is there a known issue with this update, or is this a problem specific to my phone?

It's unfortunate they're creating such a large map file as part of the install, but the solution is relatively simple.
- get a decent-sized SD (or a larger one if you have one that's full)
- move all your user data (pics, music, etc) and most of your apps to the SD (some apps can't/won't move, but most will)
- make sure you've got >16GB of sytem space free, when the above is done

Maybe they decided to pull the update after finding issues like the ones we are having?

Yeah, maybe. I've written my share of update and install software, and it's hard to imagine a scenario where they'd need 16GB to do an in-place upgrade,
It's possible someone flipped the wrong bit though, and they're trying to make a full mirror of your data, instead, which would align with the 17GB deal, but I'm only guessing here...

Yeah that's what I assume. 16GB for an Android update is unrealistic. Hopefully the update is unavailable because they noticed a mistake regarding the whole storage thing and are fixing it. Fingers crossed 😜

Did they stop the update? I have everything saved and cleared out but now it says my software is up to date. Is there a way to download it manually?

Greaaattt... Managed to clear up 18GB but now it still tells me my software is already up to date. Tried rolling the date & time forward to check again this morning and still getting the same message. RIP long awaited update 😞
Considering wiping my phone but I don't know if it's really worth that...
