I’m trying to download the update OTA, but again it’s slow (around 100KB/s in EU) and interupting. Downloading the zip file from the ecloud.global server goes at the internet line speed (110MB/s). Going to try to do it manually again.

Had to install 4.2-A15 for the OnePlus 6T manually, because it was taking many hours and needed constant resuming. So I did a local update by downloading the zip file from /e/OS community fajita download , upload it somewhere to the phone (I choose Downloads), proceeded to Settings - Updates - … - Local update.

I got the update notification yesterday. I started the download but it failed due to the network connection. Then, the update is not notifed anymore. I also tried to download the image (4.2-A15], but it does not get validated by the updater. So I am stuck at 4.1.1-A15.

If you mean the image from https://images.ecloud.global/community/FP3/, that will not work, because it’s for manual install with fastboot.
For use with the recovery or the updater you would need an OTA update file from https://ota.ecloud.global/api/v1/FP3/community/ (see the “url” lines there for the download links).

It’s still the staggered release phase. Try refreshing the updater with the refresh button at the top right a few times, or a few times more.
It’s how the release gets staggered technically. The OTA update server simply randomises whether to answer a request from an updater with the new version or not.
If this doesn’t help, then what @obacht wrote should help.

I wasn’t aware of this and I downloaded the zip-file from /e/OS community fajita download (for my OnePlus 6T ‘fajita’ device), so not the ota.ecloud.global link. This has worked a couple of times for me. Is there nuance to this why this has worked for me and not for @igi77 ?

37

The nuance is that you link an OTA_PACKAGE ROM, so it is expected to work.

@AnotherElk effectively asks (as it failed) did you try to update with an Install only ROM designated by a leading IMG-?

If you have a look at the command line manual install guides, fajita gets installed via recovery already, while FP3 gets installed with fastboot … Install /e/OS on a OnePlus 6T - "fajita" | /e/OS documentation … Install /e/OS on a Fairphone FP3/3+ - "FP3" | /e/OS documentation.
So the manual install files for fajita are suitable for installing via recovery, while the manual install files offered for FP3 are not. They have differently prepared content. But the updater needs OTA files for updating FP3, too, so those exist for FP3, too.

Unimportant:

  1. I had to reload the update many times to make it appear.
  2. Still no Android 16.1?

Important:
3. Still no seedvault backup/restore to/from USB??

It works fine. :slight_smile:

The auto-dimming seems to have gotten way too aggressive; it keeps dropping to 50%, and I have to manually change that to 75%. But I think that started in 4.1.1 and I just hadn’t noticed yet when I posted in that version’s thread.
