Updated today (after making a backup). As always since Android 6 I had to do the manual installation (as described in the support article), even though I hadn’t
- rooted the phone
- changed the recovery
- disabled any Google apps
- modified the system partition in any way (as far as I can judge).
since the update to 17.06.04, which was also a full manual install.
Before doing the manual update I tried using the Update app
- with the phone connected to a charger
- with the phone connected to a charger and battery > 80%
- with battery > 80% but phone not connected to a charger
- without having updated any Google apps since installing 17.06.04
- after updating all Google apps to the current version.
The result was always the same: dead android with message “Error”.
I can handle this, however I miss the uncomplicated updates from Android 5. I have to invest 2-3 hours every month to install the monthly (security) update since Android 6. To be very honest: this kind of sucks. Sorry for ranting…
But still would be grateful for any ideas what the issue might be.
