      I successfully installed UT as second OS on Volla Phone X23 (on SD Card). The Volla Boot Manager installed the version OTA-4. In the meantime a version OTA-5 was released. I found 3 ways how to update the OS to the newest version. However none of those worked:

      • the update option in Volla Boot Manager shows, that there is no update.
      • the Update option in UT System Settings offers to install an update, but this just reboots the phone to Recovery mode and nothing happens.
      • I found a guide to use ADB tools and command "sudo system-image-cli -v -p 0 --progress dots" but this also just rebooted into Recovery mode without further action

      Can someone advice please how to update the UT running as a second OS?
      Might be remounting the root filesystem into write mode and run apt update sequence? Is this a recommended way?

      Thank you for any advice.

        @Opino As dual booting is a feature developed and maintained by Volla, it is not possible to offer support on that here on the Forums. I am afraid the only supported way is to update via the Volla Boot Manager.

        It is up to Volla to provide their users with the updates. Maybe you should contact them about it. There might be legitimate reasons for them to hold off on offering the update widely to their users. Maybe there is some regression on their devices that they find is detrimental to the user experience. Or maybe they just haven't gotten around to it. Whichever the case, as a Volla customer your best bet is getting in contact with them about this.

          Thank You. I contacted them via email and got a reply, that the update will be available soon. However it takes already few weeks since the reply. Might be I just have to be more patient.
