Hi there,
Yesterday night I tried updating to
v8.6.5 on my Mom's 3T, it was running
RR v8.6.3 (2020-10-23) build with
OpenGapps Nano &
Magisk v20.4.
Lucky me who has the habit of taking backups even before every dirty flash
I ran into some issues, so thought of giving up a heads up to everyone thinking to dirty flash to v8.6.5.
l couldn't go past the lockscreen, my SIMs showed "Emergency Calls only" & there were no signal bars either. I tried putting in the pattern, it would just remain stuck there & not allow me to get past it. One time, it also showed that the "Settings" app was force closing automatically.
Then, I tried wiping the /system & re flashed the
2020-10-23 build, and the device booted up fine. So I think
yes it requires a clean flash.
And no, there was no issue with EdXposed or the OpenGapps package I used, as I always remove EdXposed before upgrading & the Gapps package turned out fine with the clean flash.
