This worked perfectly, and the update applied perfectly.

Not sure there is any linkage but I can sure say that a factory reset SEEEMED in our case to let the upgrade happen.
I used this successfully (so far) to be able to get the update at least started on my Vox. I had noticed that there wasn't even a screen popping up saying that it was even looking for an update until I tried this. Had left it for more than 20 minutes, but figured it was taking too long. Thanks for the tip!
