Moto g42 running /e/OS 3.0.4 doesn't offer update

[Nevets]

My moto g42 running /e/OS/ 3.0.4 doesn’t offer the update to /e/OS 3.3 which is available. (Message: No new updates found.) It seems, that it is possible to do a local update. How would I do this? Does the zip-file have to be copied to a certain place and should I also place the recovery file there?

[HOWTO] Give complete /e/OS version info easily for support, answers, comparison etc

If you read just the start of this text because it gets cited in the forum: There are screenshots here, please have a look at them before assuming you know what this is about. Thank you! As they say, every hint has its history . Where were we? Ah, yes … You are running /e/OS on your device and want to give info about your version to get support, or a simple answer to a question, or anybody else to confirm whether they can observe the same behaviour you observe? Sure … Your device will …

As mihi suggested, here the full version name: e-3.0.4-t-20250710507811-community-hawao. This was the last update for the Android 13 version. The 3.3 versions are Android 14 and 15. Would the updater offer an update for higher Android version, or would I have reinstall to get on that release?

The System updater does not offer Android version upgrade on community builds.

One option is a fresh install for a clean fresh start or there are many posts on the subject dirty upgrade and this [HOWTO] Upgrade my /e/OS to major Android version without loosing /data.

Dear aibd, thanks for pointing me to the right post. I could upgrade successfully to the newest Android 15 version for my moto g42 without losing data.
