Help Android 6.12.841.4 update fails

Hi Guys,

I have an HTC m8 phone from Telstra. Never been modified and running stock android 5.0.1.
Have tried numerous times to update to 6.12.841.4 but each time the update fails with one of two messages.
First error:
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg
(Code -1)
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_yes
(Code -1)
E:missing bitmap oem_unlock_bg_no
(Code -1)

After reboot, download update package again, receive error 2

I have factory reset both the phone and it's cache partition on a number of occasions, but most times I get error number 1.
This phone is running the complete stock firmware as supplied by Tesltra and has not been modified in anyway.

I have tried to download the update numerous times both at home and work as this gives me the added advantage of trying via another ISP. But still no luck.

Any suggestions as to where I might look to solve this issue ?

Thanks
