How to update an FP3 from 0.23 (Android 9) to 1.8.1 (latest stable version available)

yes as in it’s just another rom flash, but your userdata very very likely will not be able to migrate. I tried in the past and solved some bugs, but overall not worth the time - make backups and restore or just start fresh

partition table will not change for the lifetime of the device. Haven’t flashed the FP3 individually for a longer time now, but usually I just resort to sideloading the one zip and be done. It will flash to the inactive slot in the A/B scheme so orient yourself within fastboot to not get confused. In doubt you can flash both slots to parity (some sideloadable scripts can do this for you too)
