Is it easy yo roll back updates?

[alba]

So before the last update my murena Nothing Phone was working OK - it occasionally locked on the fingerprint screen, the second SIM card is not 100% (but might be due to tel company) and my second profile started to occasionally block and ask for the pin when I tried to access it from the sleep screen, but now, since the update:

• No second user - repeatedly asks for pin and goes to blank screen. Lost all data in that user after update.
• Having a second SIM both are struggling to maintain connectivity to networks and mobile data.
• Screen blocks at biometric unblock as well.

Can I go back? How? I just want a work profile to separate apps. I’m a bit disappointed as I probably need to put WhatsApp on my phone for school and I was hoping to keep it separate.

I’ve had my phone for a year and I’m so happy with e/os and murena for existing.

If there are any tips I’d be really happy to hear from anyone.

Thanks.

Hello @alba,

Yes it will be easy,
as there is no “anti roll back protection” on this device,
so roll back to the previous /e/ version cause no issue, the method is the same as for an update

JUST DO NOT APPLY “FACTORY-REST”
do not apply format /data partition

• /e/OS community Spacewar download

• to boot the Spacewar into recovery mode :
  Volume Down + Power

@piero

to do it, you have several options :

they are the same as for regular update…
.

(it is recommended to take a backup of your things in case)

.

1. download the file on the phone, go to “→ settings → system updater” and use the feature called “locale update” (if you have it in the “3 dot menu” at top right of the screen).

or

2. download the file on the phone, reboot the phone into the recovery mode and use “apply update” then “from internal storage” (if your “recovery mode” have the feature).

or

3. download the file on a SDcard, reboot the phone into the recovery mode and use “apply update” then “from External SDcard” (if your “recovery mode” have the feature).

or

4. Universal Method, download the file on a computer, boot the phone into the recovery mode and use “apply update” then “from ADB” :
