Hello,
I’m fairly new to e/OS and have a problem with the on device update for the OS. The currenr 2.6.3 version is my first installed OS since I unlocked the bootloader.
When I start the update process to V2.7.0, the download and install preparation proceed normally untill the reboot of the device. After the appearance of the poco start up screen, the phone enters the MIUI recovery menu for a fraction of a second before rebooting to the old e/OS. For a retry of the installation the update must be downloaded again.
I have tried deleting the updater cache so far which didn’t help.
Also I’m a bit confused about the recovery menu being the MIUI and not the e/OS recovery since I flashed the e/OS recovery image initially onto the device to install the first OS V2.6.3.
Ah ok, that is interesting.
So how I understand it now is, that I flashed the e/OS recovery on the former inactive partition which then became my active OS after doing the factory reset. Yet the former active MIUI partition still has the MIUI recovery on it, which can’t be overwritten by the Updater for whatever reason. So I once again need to flash the e/OS recovery onto the device which then overwrites the MIUI recovery on the inactive partition and from there I can update the OS and both partitions have the e/OS recovery on it, is that right?
I really think this was a one time problem. As reassurance and to “consolidate learning”; if you boot into recovery now you will see the active slot. After the next successful OTA update you will find that the Active slot has switched.
