Congratulations on a free Spark. 
Hopefully you can get it going.
If I can't help, others here may be able to.
I assume you are connected to the Spark via WiFi when it is asking for an update?
You'll have to switch between WiFi networks during the process.
You'll have to go into your device and switch from the Spark to your home WiFi to download an update.
When the message on the screen says "installing", you'll have to switch back to the Spark WiFi to install the update.
Not sure if this is the solution, but you never know.

I’ve Been using my OTG cable do I need not use it or keep on and switch my WiFi
Thanks
I use the cable myself when I fly but haven't tried it when updating the firmware.
I've had good luck doing the WiFi dance. ?
You could probably leave the cable in but I think everything is through the WiFi.
I once forgot to turn the WiFi OFF on my device while using the cable and the sneaky little Spark hooked up via WiFi and didn't care about the cable. ?
