Lenovo X306X updates are not working
-
@Manasian You can't use apt on UT. There are reasons I cannot remember.
Check your data and time is correct.

@MrT10001 said in Lenovo X306X updates are not working:
There are reasons I cannot remember.
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 ?)
