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?

Hello Community and @Manasponge
Thank you so much for the great questions, and feedback regarding this update. It seems that many of you have been able to successfully download the newest Marshmallow OS for the M8 and M9, but if you are still having issues, please see the info below.
M8 Release Details
M9 Release Details
We have heard the feedback about the large requirement of free space needed for the install and have sent this to HTC. At this time, HTC has advised that the free space required to download M8 and M9 are 1212.5MB (M8) and 1552.88MB (M9).
Once the package is downloaded, the installation requires 150MB (which was already reserved during FOTA download).
Although not supported by AT&T, HTC has advised that customers can sideload the update to bypass the large storage requirement.
Here is the link for your information:
Please contact HTC if you have any questions regarding the below information. Sideloading will wipe your device and restore to factory settings.
M8 - http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/.
M9 - http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m9-att/news/
If you have other Marshmallow related questions, please join the discussion. We will announce all future Marshmallow info here.

Same, also tried twice. Phone is not rooted/unlocked in any way. I did turn on the 'developer menu', but didn't adjust anything within. Phone was connected to computer via USB during the first attempt, but was not actively transferring any data.
I'm going to factory reset the phone and try once more... not sure what else to try.

A post on reddit has suggested clearing up local space can help- a user mentioned that when they had 10GB of internal space available, the install failed twice. They cleared an additional 6GB and said the update worked after that.

Try clearing the cache partition on your device and try again:

Same problem. Pushed OTA automatically and failed. Used the Software Update check and it did the same thing. Took over 2 hours to download both times and I have a 300 mbps internet connection.
