So is it recommended to go for an OTA Update right now?
I did not yet get any notification about an update . Maybe I disabled some setting but not sure what I configured differently. Maybe Afwall+ blocks something. At least “CalyxOS Update Client” is allowed to access the internet.
Also is there anything I need to prepare in regards of Magisk (install a new 3.8.0 patched boot.img ) or is the OTA way of upgrading still the same?
So it already installed the new version. Is this a problem, when the order is not 100% the same?
I mean you ( @hirnsushi ) described that Magisk should be uninstalled beforehand.
Or can I still do it now (still before reboot) and directly reinstall it to Inactive Slot?
Also is there a way to control this a bit more? Like download but not directly install?
If you want to controll it, try turning off Automatic System Updates in Developer Settings. We’ll have to wait for the next one to see if that actually works
Hi guys,
After my initial attempt (which resulted in a locked bootloader) I want to give it another shot.
I couldn’t find calyxos 3.8.0 for Fairphone. Do I need to install an older version and the latest update is OTA?
My security update is still July, should not be s problem.
You don’t loose root immediately, only after a reboot.
Just like when you fastboot boot a patched boot.img, that’s all running from RAM, modifying the boot partition only matters the next time you load it into RAM (reboot).
… is still weird.
But I compared it to the 3.7.2 version and the files did actually change, so I guess someone didn’t update the names
Even if it was the previous version, that’s still patch level July, so you can go ahead.
If you decide to lock the bootloader (which I still wouldn’t recommend), make absolutely sure to check fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability!
@hirnsushi Is there any way to force an update from beta to stable? I really wonder, why I’m not offered the stable 3.8.0. You were on beta, too if I remember correctly.
Didn’t you already update to 3.8.0?
If you switch to stable now, you’ll only receive the next stable release, since you are already on the latest version.
If you are on 3.8.0 already, switching to stable won’t change anything. Beta and stable are release channels, if you switch you’ll get updates once they are pushed to the corresponding channel, the actual update is the same.
You generally get releases earlier in beta and stable might skip versions that contained bugs, but you usually don’t get releases that are specific to one channel, the major difference is the timing.
Sounds valid and it seems I missinterpreted the usage of beta and release. I had the idea to get the beta early and switch to stable later ;-). Let’s see if I get 3.9.0 (as I switched to release now). Thanks once more .
