Xperia System Update won't install - Xperia M2 Dual

MRiddleR — Wed, 05 Oct 2016 18:17:53 GMT

I got a notifcation of Xperia Sytem Update version 18.3.1.B.1.8

I download it & then install; it does the restart and I see the green droid screen and they after 30% of the progress bar filled it does restart and asks for re-downloading.

It happened 4 times so far!

what's the issue?

I am updating directly from the phone.

Actually the solution here worked for me!

You may also want to try to reset the home screen from Settings -> Apps -> All -> Xperia Home -> Clear data -> OK but please note that this will reset your home screen to default settings (widgets, shortcuts).
