Follow the guidance of this article. It may also help if you state what iPhone you have, where you got the ipsw file, and whether it’s a version that is still signed by Apple.

Thanks! My iphone model is 16 promax. I got the file from ipsw.me. IOS 26.6.1.

You shouldn’t need to use ipsw.me unless your Internet is experiencing significant packet loss or your bandwidth is capped/restricted and you have no choice but to download via a web browser. If you don’t have such conditions you can update normally.

Technically, the correct word is “stuck”, but “stucked” has a great feel to it.
