Updater crashing

/e/OS Smartphone Operating System

Hi,

I tried to update from 3.2 to 3.3 yesterday but the download stopped several times so I decided to wait for today. When trying to continue the download the updater crashed. I could reproduce this several times until I noticed that my Wifi connection was lost. I assume that this is the reason for the crash as everything worked after Wifi was available again.

Another smaller issue with the updater: When the download fails (I guess due to lots of people updating at the same time) this is only shown in a small window for a very short period of time. So if you donā€™t look at the status bar all the time you only see that the download is not running any more, but you cannot see what has happened. I would fancy having a persisting message you need to acknowledge explicitly.

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services

Good idea thetux. Also after 6 hours of tapping the resume button the download completed but failed verification. So im not updating. Is there any way to delete this and redownload ?

Yes it crashed here, too - after 90 minutes of very slow download - and we have a fast connection here in the city of Zurich. And this is not the first time this happens, I have been using myFP4 with e/OS/ for nearly four years now, and before that e/OS with FP2. And it has been every now and then all the same.

And at the same time, they are begging for donationsā€¦. No! First improve your services!

I use ā€˜communityā€™ and maybe I can avoid the ā€˜officialā€™ release and the bandwidth spike but for me (also in Kanton Zurich) it works well.

Can you elaborate why you have that impression?

Have a look at the social media like Mastodonā€¦

Delete storage within (System) Updater app from

Settings > Apps > ā€¦

I canā€™t, I suppose. That ā€˜socialā€™ stuff lost me years agoā€¦ Thx for letting me know

Didnā€™t work. The update image is sitting somewhere else.

I use the ā€œofficialā€ version as I -unfortunately- still need the boot loader to be locked because of some e-banking appsā€¦ If I wouldnā€™t need those, I would switch to iodĆ© and leave e/OS/. Or even to ubuntu touch. I meanwhile am thinking of switching to a second regular FP4 at home with those apps (and only wifi), as I do not really need them underway out of home.

Not in android/data, do I need root to access this ?

13

of course a file manager with root permission

OR
temporary boot to TWRP without installing it

fastboot boot twrp.img

There has to be another way to delete a corrupted image. Iā€™m not getting root for one job. Iā€™m running e/os recovery

15

this is a command to temporary boot to TWRP without installing itā€¦

fastboot boot twrp.img

what is your device ?

16

Moto g84. Iā€™ve e/os recovery installed

17

Or is it possible to verify the image again ?

18

have a try refreshing in the system-updater

so boot the device into bootloader mode,

on your PC,
Download twrp-3.7.1_12-0-bangkk.img
run

fastboot boot twrp-3.7.1_12-0-bangkk.img

then using the advanced file manager,
navigate to /data/lineageos_updates and delete the file that is annoying you.
go back to the main menu and reboot system

dosent work. device sits on motorola splash screen. Iā€™ve been unlocking and flashing phones for years. that fun is behind me now, I dont have time for messing about. anybody else know how to delete a corrupted update image?

Just to help look for a solution, what is it that makes you believe there is a corrupted update present on the device. I did actually have the issue of a started, failed download in the past.

The Updater did record significant high MB in storage, this changed to zero on Clear and download proceeded, not that day but later.
