General Update Discussion

[Allroadmaniacs]

I have just received an OTA update. No Android 7 unfortunately, but February security update and bugupdates. Was about 325Mb download and a few restarts

Everything good over here. Applied update couple of days back. It's released some memory and seems a bit snappier in intensive games.

Any issues with rooted devices? Any problems with rooting this again? I am guessing that it will break the root.

Is there a release log?

I hope you don't mind me hijacking your post slightly, but has anyone had any luck updating after unlocking the bootloader? I just tried updating, it got about half way through the install and then aborted. I'd already re-locked the bootloader, but upon booting the tablet it says something like "verification failed". Am I doomed to forever rely on flashing new stock roms, rather than ota updates?

sad....I am in the same situation with you, hope there will be some workarounds....

With an unlocked bootloader.

Steps I took:

1. downloaded and captured the update. The update is saved at: /data/data/com.lenovo.ota/app_otapackages.
2. copied the update.zip to my external sd-card.
3. boot in the stock recovery menu.
4. choose apply update from external storage.
5. wait untill finished, system restarts.

System booted just fine. After booting my Playstore app crashed constantly. I flashed the latest gapps from open gapps and everything is just fine.

Rooted again with Magisk. Choose for 10.1 because 11.1 keeps giving me problems with Titanium. No problems rooting after update.

My first attempt failed because I was still rooted, so I reflashed my stock boot image with twrp. No problems flashing the update after this. Maybe by flashing the boot image first and using the update function from within works but after the messages of failing updates I decided to try this approach.

How did you capture the update? Does not it restart automatically?


Also when you say "stock boot image" , what do you mean exactly? Do you mean boot partition or just the original backup?

Just downloaded it. It doesn't restart automatically. You have to confirm to install the update. I booted directly into the bootloader after copying the update to my external SD-card.

After rooting with Magisk there is a backup of your original boot.img. This can be found in /data. There you see magisk.img and stock_boot.img. Copy the stock_boot.img to your external SD-card.

I didn't rename the ota-file after downloading it. Just flashed the file from stock recovery. Maybe you have a corrupt download?

Yeah that is what I did as far as the download goes. I tried both as update.zip and the original name.

I did not know the original boot.img was there. How did you flash those imgs back ?

Flash image with twrp to boot. Choose install and then tap on the*Images…*button on the bottom-right of the screen. Once you select, you will be prompted to select the type of image it is, select*Boot*or*Recovery. Choose boot.

Cool, I thought that TWRP was only able to flash zips.

Can you please tell me which .imgs you flashed back exactly? I do not want to mess this up. Did you just flash "stock_boot.img"?

Also did you need to lock the bootloader as well? I hope you did not need to because I so do not want to erase all my data again to unlock it back.

Only stock boot image. No need to lock the bootloader. So you keep your data?.

Looks like the same message I got. Are you looking in system/data ? For me the full path is: system(root)/data/stock_boot.img.

Yeah it is /data

Strange. What version of Magisk are you running?

Did you make a recent nandroid backup in TWRP before flashing Magisk? It also containes the boot image.

I found an older firmware for your model. YB1-X90F_USR_S000196_1611040312. Don't know if this works because of the older firmware. I extracted the boot.img.http://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/58bbb8483b6a0/boot.img.zip. Flash at your own risk.

Yeah I have the full system backup. And I actually went ahead and restored the original boot image of stock system backup and it did not work out.

Thanks for linking a boot image. I will try flashing that one to see if it wil work.

Anyone else notice it seems to have included an update the Note Saver app? it can now go into portrait mode, and existing notes don't open in edit mode anymore by default.

This update broke ability to switch languages by click ctrl + space on Halo keyboard. It's very sad for me.
