Problem with latest system update

[Foxa]

Hello!
I did the latest system update yesterday on my samsung galaxy s8.
To be fair, i hit pause quite a few times as internet reception wasnt very good and i was waiting for a better connection.
Then the “finishing system update” bar got stuck and wont move since yesterday.

I switched off and on again my phone twice which didnt change anything.

In the meantime i realised i cannot receive text messages any more, and my other messaging apps (signal, whatsapp and telegram) do not give notifications any more when i receive messages; only when i open an app do new messages show up.
Is there any way of re-installing this new update, or going back to the old one? I definitely need to be able to receive standard text messages…

Thank you in advance!

I understand you already use /e/OS and some installed apps,
I hope your device is running Latest Samsung Firmware that is based on Android 9.0 (Pie),
And got a fonctionnal recovery manager installed.
.
Donwnload Latest /e/ image (without errors or pause) from here :
.
dev https://images.ecloud.global/dev/dreamlte
.
stable https://images.ecloud.global/stable/dreamlte
.
boot into recovery mode,
and just install the .ZIP file (TWRP),
or Apply update using the .ZIP file (recovery-e),
from internal or external SDcard memory…
as explained here : steps (8) or (9) of this user friendly guide :

BUT WITHOUT FACTORY-RESET OR WIPING OR FORMATING ANYTHING

this post is editable as a Wiki. (1) Download an /e/OS build (2) Download recovery-e or TWRP (3) install the appropriate Flashing Tools (4) allow “Non Vendor OS” to be installed on the device (5) Check the communication between the PC and your smartphone (6) Unlock the Bootloader (7) Flash a custom recovery manager on your device (8) install /e/ from your computer, using the “adb sideload” method or (9) Install /e/ without computer using the “Storage Device” method (10) post install…

Hello,
Thank you for your reply!
Actually i am under the impression that the problem sorted itself out; last night while charging my phone (in airplane mode btw which is weird) i suddenly received a load of text messages and when i looked at it the “finishing update” notification which i wasnt able to remove or advance before, had gone.
Switched on and off one more time since the morning after that another text message from my bank didnt come through; since then everything seems to be running smoothly.
I dont know where things went wrong in the beginning but hope this is now sorted (fingers crossed)
Thanks again piero dor your reply, might het back to it if necessary!
