Anyone else getting an error when trying to install iOS 14?
Error Installing iOS 14
I spent hours restart, hard reset, sign out icloud, sign in icloud, new icloud user all didn't work.
I tried the following and it worked, go to Setting -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings
This will clear all prior Settings but content will remain, after this go try the Software Update again after setting up wifi again.
It worked for me, hope this help

SOLVED for me:
I had this exact problem with an iPhone 7 128Gb. Factory reset and not logged in to iCloud it still failed after verify of iOS 14.2.
The solution here was to disable lock code on the phone. A quite unintuitive solution.

Many thanks VonOben. Your solution worked for me too! My iPhone would verify the iOS download then say it had hit an error and try again later. I also couldn't update it via iTunes as it recognised that an iOS upgrade was there, tried to access the software server then did nothing. Disabling my passcode worked perfectly. Thank you :o)
Can confirm, it FINALLY worked when I disabled my passcode. Super frustrating, but there's the answer.
I can confirm no resets needed just remove the password temporarily and it will in fact remove error message and proceed to install the software! :)
Didnt work for me on a iphone 6s plus
For me, this error was shown when there was not enough free space on the device. As soon as I had 2-3 GB of free space, the update was able to proceed.
(I had also signed out of the iCloud account before that, so perhaps this also solved another of the stumbling blocks.)

I’ve tried all the fix, restart, delete and try again, keep iPad plugged in but still UPDATE FAIL.
And I have tons of storage left.

Disable “Passcode” in Settings. Worked on the first try. So simple, but not posted anywhere but here. Good luck!
Not Working. iPad Air 2. Disabled passcode. Reset All settings. Deleted and re-downloaded update. Power cycled iPad. “An error occurred installing iPadOS 14.2”.
What worked for me is logging out of iCloud then try downloading.
took the advice of @Areyoukidding and deleted passcode. Worked. Genius. Good Luck!

I disabled the code. Didn't work. Then logged out of iCloud and now it's installing (iPad Air2 - 14.2). Thanks to those that suggested the workaround.
