Apple doesn't allow major iOS updates over cellular. You can update from This is not a technical limitation of cell data or wifi, per se , but rather a policy limitation though some carriers have limits of how big individual files transmitted over their networks can be.
Major OS updates can run into the gigabyte range, and while many users have multi-gig or unlimited data plans, not all users do - so updates above a given size are disallowed, per manufacturer policy, from downloading over cellular. If you hotspot your phone and download the update to your laptop, then run the install via iTunes, you can get around it. All the above will not work. What you will need for this are two things: your iPhone, and a Mac or windows PC, with iTunes installed.
After that, tether data from your iPhone to your Mac. Your Mac will believe it is a wireless connection. Then, launch the iTunes app from your laptop, and download and update your phone.
Make sure, obviously, that your phone is connected via USB. I don't think that there is any feasible way around this. Apple being Apple is going to try to make software that mainly appeals to the tech layman, which isn't always bad thing, 9 times out of 10 it's a great thing. It means iPhones don't for the most part get viruses, do get a steady flow of software updates unlike another mobile operating system So even though you have adequate data, Apple makes your iPhone take the "better safe than sorry" approach in making sure that you don't use it up, or worse, go over, by using it here.
I'd advise against using a public connection, though, since one must enter his passcode, Apple ID, and password. Required OpenWRT packages: kmod-usb-net-ipheth libimobiledevice libusbmuxd libplist libimobiledevice-utils libusbmuxd-utils plistutil usbmuxd. Turning on cellular data for updates and iTunes only lets you download app updates under MB and iTunes purchases. There is currently no way around this other than tethering to another phone's wifi connection.
