Hi,
I see the update from 10 of November in System Updates …
Now, I have not updated my Sony XA2 for a very long time, and I now want to make this device my daily driver… So I would like to update it to the latest version of the OS. As far as I remember, it is not possible to use the OTA updates if I have skipped some updates, so…what is the simplest option?
Thank you in advance

I do not see why you can’t ?
Hi @piero
Perhaps I am wrong, but I had in mind that there were some constraints (like being at a certain version to move to another one…). If it is not the case , and I can simply tap on the latest version showing up and skipping all the intermediate version, it is fine by me!
it is when I read posts like that Week 51, 2024: Development and Testing Updates - #4 by Manoj that I become confused … does it mean that I would not be able to update because I moving from a previous android version to the latest one available?
Please advise.
Thank you
The easiest, fastest and safest (upgrade) installation is explained in the /e/OS documentation Install /e/OS on a Sony Xperia XA2 - “pioneer”
thank you for replying @Xxpsilon
I have the impression that “simple” does not have the same meaning for everyone of us 
I followed that procedure for the first installation 5 years ago, and to me (a total stranger to firmware upgrades and so on), it would not qualify as “simple” at all … OTA updates are.
Only if the phone vendor has not released updated firmware since your first/last /e/ installation from scratch, (so you have latest existing firmware already installed as a base for /e/OS),
easiest and fastest is to dirty upgrade your current /e/OS “R” or “S” version to latest “T” build using the already installed recovery-e
because e-2.5-t-20241110446839-community-pioneer.zip don’t embed firwmare parts :
Thank you @piero
Since I am in the case
I understand that it is the dirty installation. Good, thank you
