Lenovo X306X updates are not working
-
Hello, I can not install the latest updates for my tablet I tried a manual update sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get upgrade but I have a message from ereur telling me that the file Files/var/cache/apt/archives/partial does not exist.
I try to create it with sudo mkdir -p/var/cache/apt/archives/partial
but again I have a "read only file system" error message and again I tried several commas (sudo mount -o remount,rw/ & sudo fsck -Af -M) but still without success.
So I’m not sure what to do, maybe using ubports-installer would solve the situation? But it does not risk to uninstall/reinstall everything? For your information, I did the manual installation https://gist.github.com/thekosmix/1a7fc2308e9c9ea78bb4ad24bc0cda1a because after using ubports-installer I ran into a problem https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10835/tb-x306x-bootloop-when-install-attempts-from-installer/3
In any case, I find that UT is rather not bad I think. (yes, it’s my way of congratulating you). -
@Manasian You can't use apt on UT. There are reasons I cannot remember.
Check your data and time is correct.

Because Ubuntu Touch has read only OS partitions for security, and is system image based. Updates, when they are some, are done over the air.
-
Automatic updates also do not work (the download is ok but the installation does not work) and in addition ubports-installer does not recognize my tablet as having UT but only hallium. Maybe by going to the installer it would fix the problem? But I may lose my data, right?
-
@Manasian Before you go to the installer, did you install UT manually through fastboot?
-
It seems to me that yes. + used fastbootd to flash UT too (also used the tip indicated to format userdata).
-
@Manasian For me, the installer has never worked for this device, it goes into a bootloop. You should be able to reinstall using the latest artifacts and you won't have to format data as it is already EXT4.

I remade an installation by taking the latest version of UT (here) and this may be the mistake I made last time but now, I have a new problem, I do not have wifi/bluetooth on my tablet.
I did find this post but I do not understand why it does not work anymore because before the reinstallation, the wifi/ bluetooth worked well. So I have to go back to android to reinstall UT ? -
@Manasian
Did you install the required version of android asked in the process of installing Ubuntu Touch on this device ? -
Well, to be honest, I downloaded it here because I followed the instructions on this web page. But normally that I downloaded it here or on the git official page, this should be the same since its two android files have the same name (TB-X306X_S230973_240402_BMP). Well, I will still redo the whole installation with 100% the instructions of the official git, I think.
-
@Manasian I tend to use the Lenovo Software Fix tool (Windows only) as it gets you onto the latest Android version (required) very quickly. I have updated so far with no issues (OTA) since the first install where the IMEI disappeared, but that has been rectified. Even got Firefox running on it!
-
I still can’t get wifi/bluetooth, even after using the Lenovo Software Fix tool to reset to android (where wifi/bluetooth work well on it) and started the installation again from the beginning. I still have the last image of UT flashed and followed the instructions well. (+ and the command fastboot format:ext4 userdata works correctly now, no need to format through the tablet) Maybe I should try to reinstall with ubports (hoping not to back again into the bootloop problem) or use another image ? (Maybe for some unknown reason, this image is problematic for me ?)
