UNOFFICIAL TIP :

(not tested recently, please share feedback !)
if coming from an already installed “official” /e/OS and you want to upgrade to a16 “community” (without loosing data and locked bootloader)

• using → Settings → System updater → Local_update
• or using “recovery mode” and “adb sideload”

you will face a signature mismatch, simply choose “install anyway”
