Galaxy S3 thinks there's no room for update

[Eureus]

Despite having more than enough supposed free space, I still can't update. I can't seem to get any more helpful information than this, either.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Try a Cache Partition wipe first.

Like belodion said, a cache wipe in recovery might help.

Worked like a charm!

If you don't mind me asking, what was the problem, and how did wiping the cache partition fix it?

I can't say for certain, but there was probably a corrupted file that was causing the problem. When the cache was cleared, that allowed the OS to do its thing.

Cache was only using 69MB, but was probably reporting that it used a lot more than that. As Golfdriver said, something was probably corrupted.

Good to know. Thanks.
