Failed to install 24.04-2.x on OnePlus Nord N10 running 1.x
-
I am on 'daily' 24.04-1.n. I have noticed an issue where I check updates, after a week, and sometimes it shows none (when I know there should be at least 1). Touching the 'retry' shows the circular thing, wait, and still none. POPO or reboot, then try again & update available !
So, never give up ...I have not yet tried 24.04-2.n because I sporadically see concerning forum posts (including another thread in past 2 days).
-
When I installed 2.x, upon rebooting, I get "Installing Update". Where is it getting this update? Is that part of the 2.x install?
The Installing Update finished, the phone rebooted, and ended in Recovery mode.
It won't boot past the screen that says "The boot loader is unlocked..." AGAIN. At least I CAN shut it off now. But, it won't boot past that screen.
Installing 1.x again. "Installing Update" again. 1.x is installed.
Maybe the bottom line for all this is that today's daily 2.x is broken or it doesn't work on the N10 now.
-
This time I rebooted a couple of times. While running 1.x daily I switched channels to 1.x stable. Rebooted a couple of times. Installed 2.x. Reboot. Again it is "Installing update".
I don't recall ever seeing "Installing update" after installing UT.
Now I'm back to the error "Failed to find block device for partionproduct_a".
So, this process of installing 2.x is unreliable.
-
I will note that the screen with "Installing update" does come up after installing 1.x stable and booting. So, that's normal.
Bottom line: something is wrong with installing 2.x on OnePlus Nord N10 5G BE2026.
-
I think there isn't enough space to install 2.x.
-
(I had reported not enough space on 2.x in Telegram before, but in that case, I was able to install 2.x but ran out of space when installing anything for UBports Quality Assurance.)
I think this phone has a lot of memory and the partition size (or whatever is the case) can be increased for 2.x.
-
I searched for a recent (last 24 hours or so) comment I saw about a problem with 24.04-2.n - by vverve in the thread: Oneplus n10 24.04-2.x follow up.
Vverve stated had to drop back from 204.04-2.n (version 182 ?) to 24.04-1.n due to serious problem.
Maybe related ? -
@oldbutndy Yeah, a saw that, too. In wonder. I’m not in a Telegram channel for the OS itself, so I don’t know what their status reports are or release notes that describe changes. I can’t see what known bugs there are.

@lsitongia I am in the dedicated N10 device group on Telegram, and I have not heard anyone comment on not being able to install 24.04-2.x
As I said on Telegram, maybe your /cache partition was filled, since you mention you had a downloaded -1.x update ready which you did not apply before attempting to upgrade to -2.x. So that was probably the original issue. But now you've done a few things already, so not sure what your current situation is.
If you are OK with starting completely fresh I would go with flashing android and then UT again.
As an aside. It is normal for the device to say it is installing updates after running it through the installer. That is just the last step on device of the installation. Several files are pushed to the cache partition by the installer and then the recovery knows to unpack those files in the correct locations.
It is also normal for the device to show as one thing (billie) in recovery and another thing (lito) in fastboot.Lastly.. Daily is not recommended for daily use, unless you are interested in helping testing and catching early bugs. If the phone is your daily driver, then 24.04-1.x stable is the channel that you are recommended to be using.

I bought this phone because I'd read about patches for MMS available through the QA Telegram channel. So i originally installed 2.x over Android. I immediately had out-of-space issues when i tried to install the MMS patches. Lionel said in Telegram that they routinely remove unneeded packages in order to make space under 2.x for QA tests.That shouldn't be necessary in order to contribute to QA.So, there is a known problem with space. My guess is it needs to be expanded. I just saw fredl talk about porting Halium 12 to Pixel 3a and expand the size of root. This looks like a general issue.
There should be a mechanism in the installer or while running UT to free up space. Reinstalling Android and the UT again is a burdensome method. Anyway, that would just get me back to where I started, running 2.x without enough space to do QA.

@lsitongia I had missed the part where you said you were testing PR packages on the device.
