        @st0rk If you are on RC you will already have OTA-15 and will have been using it for a few days at least. All the changes work through from devel to RC then Stable which is when the OTA is officially released. As a double check make sure all apps are updated then run Update again and you will be fully upto date.
        The cycle will then start again for OTA-16.
        I don't have a Volla but does it have a stable channel yet or just RC and devel?

          The thing is I can't choose any other release channels, as I get no options when searching - only release candidate.
          When going to the 'About' tab, it says: Ubuntu 16.04 (2020-W41)
          Last update: 07.10.2020

          That makes me think something is not right, and I'm on an old RC.

          Tried to find a way to maybe force an update through command line, but haven't found a 'for dummies' guide for that yet.

          All apps and store is updated. I tried:
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get upgrade

          That's more or less what my skills with the command line will get me ๐Ÿ™‚

          Cheers!

            @st0rk My guess is that the Volla phone has no stable channel yet but it'll get one with OTA-15. Also, please don't do the apt updates. It may work and can do unexpected things to your device ๐Ÿ˜„

              OK
              Just checked again, and my list of channels to get updates from is empty.
              I'll wait and see what happens during the next couple of days.
              Thanks!

                @st0rk It seems that Vollaphone on OTA-15 stable has some issues to be fixed before to be available. Here's a post of Marc Aurel (this morning) on Volla Telegram group:

                "I can confirm, that the RC and developer channel running the next release. However we need to fix some issues regarding a stable cellular network connection to release the version for the stable channel. Anyway we are on a good way."

                Another thing: Generally OTA updates need to be downloaded through the wifi and not via a cellular network, so make sure that you are connected to a decent WiFi access point.

                  Can't seem to find that post, but I beleive Volla will come with a monthly update before the 23rd.
                  Meanwhile I'll arm myself with patience, stable wifi and cookies ๐Ÿ™‚

                    I almost always use cellular connection to make UBports OTA updates and that without any problem.

                            I have the same issue as described a few posts earlier by @st0rk. Are there any news about the update of Vollaphones to OTA-15?

                                bq aquaris

                                I am on stable channel. When will it be available?

                                  @stanwood yes I did. The actual situation is:

                                  screenshot20201231_111544675.png

                                  When I open the update settings it says:
                                  screenshot20201231_111601480.png

                                  By the way: I never changed these settings to "release candidate". They were already like that when my Vollaphone was delivered.

                                  When I try to change the Channel ist says:
                                  screenshot20201231_111621450.png

                                  The fetching-process takes about 10min. (Which is much more compared to my former BQ E5). Maybe there is some kind of timeout after 10 min, but thats only a guess. After that I get:

                                  screenshot20201231_112603451.png

                                  There is no Channel at all to chose.

                                  When I get back it says:
                                  screenshot20201231_112621429.png

                                    @heiko If you haven't 0TA-15 as @stanwood said, flash your phone with the installer without wipe. I did that and i have OTA-15.

                                      @domubpkm without wipe means that my contacts, pictures etc. will remain after flashing?

                                        @heiko Yes 'without wipe' means that you don't lose any of your UT data.

                                        But if you're careful, I assume that you've backed up the important data of your smartphone ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                          @heiko Correct. Reinstall UT with UBports installer, choose stable channel and don't check wipe & bootstrap options. You will get OTA-15 stable on your Vollaphone and should be able to proceed yourself to the next OTA updates easilly.

                                            @stanwood / @domubpkm after a minor fight with the installer (didn't boot automatically in recovery mode) I could manage to install the actual image with OTA-15. Channels are now visible as expected, and the check for updates works now within a few seconds.

                                            Thanks for your great support & Wish you all a happy new year!

                                              Hi, I am new here. My question is: Isn't OAT-15 been out for quite some time? I flashed Ubuntu to my Nexus 4 years ago then support was dropped. Now I am nosing around the interwebs and I see this UBports tool. I fiddled a while before I got a successful flash, or so I think. The choice for this device is U/T 16.04, but after I am done it is still on OAT-15 Ubuntu Touch 15.04. Why would UBports have 16.04 and that is not what I have, or do you think it did not properly flash? Looking forward to getting better at this.
