A few days ago I installed /e/ 0.18 R on my Redmi Note 9 Pro Joyeuse, without using /e/ recovery.
Today I tried to install OTA update to /e/ 0.21 R, and the OTA process does not seem compatible with my recovery… I have two ideas to solve this issue :
Install 0.21 recovery, and then reboot to system and apply 0.21 OTA update
Install 0.21 recovery, and then flash 0.21 rom
Does anyone know if “1.” will work ? Can I proceed through “2.” without losing my data ?
I don’t know much about OrangeFox
However, I can guarantee that any update for the same Android version can be installed manually once downloaded with OTA.
In TWRP, this is done by :
selecting “Install” button
browsing to /data/lineageos_updates, selecting the zip file
after applying, wipe cache+dalvik
This will only apply system partitions images, leaving data untouched.
To verify, just open the zip file and check files names. You can also read the updater script : META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script.
