  9. Hi, today I have got 688.3MB update in my Iris X8, however I am not able to download the update package(getting stopped automatically).

    I need to confirm whether it is the same update/test update or it is an official update.

    If it is the same, I will download the above zip and follow the steps, or I will wait till it downloaded and update through air.
