@flohack I switched from stable to RC and the installed version is reported as 2021-W36 (not 2021-W27, OnePlus 3T). It broke the perfectly working HotSpot :-(, now I need several tries to turn it on.

@sven Corrected the labelling to 2021-W36. Unfortunately, since no one was working on Hotspot this is deemed to be a device-specific issue probably, and needs to be looked into by the porter. Sorry to not having more infos on this.

Working on the install. I have tried the Samsung galaxy Note 4 updating through the phone update channel which caused it to hang at reboot. Reinstalled through the installer (Ubuntu, not Windows) which resolved it. Same thing with the OnePlus Two, it hangs at the initial phone boot screen, You can get to recovery, and thats it. Reinstalled using Windows installer without formatting and booted fine into phone with all my settings intact. My Redmi Note 7 updated through the phone update normally. I have not had this issue with OTA-17 to OTA-18. With the Samsung Note 4 I thought it may have bricked as I could not get it off the inital Samsung logo boot screen, even after battery removal, but managed by removing the battery, pressing the power on switch, leaving it for 5 minutes, putting battery in and then booting to the bootloader.
