not seeing updates?

@lakotaubp
When i switch to RC, it tells me the update available is "Ubuntu Touch Version 130", which is 428.6 MB in size. -
@fizz Try installing that. If that works and is ok you should be able to switch back to Stable but RC is normally OK
-
I'm wondering.
In the "about" page, I have 3 recent updates listed and if I ask the question, I am told that the software is up to date. But if I launch OpenStore, it tells me I have 4 applications to update ?!?So I just did these updates from the OpenStore but the "about" page still tells me the same thing (the 3 apps that were updated some days ago, and no UT update available)
I just restarted the phone and it doesn't change anything. How is this possible ?

Is that the same version as OTA-21? Or will i go to that RC version first, and then update to OTA-21 afterwards?
Or would it be better to try the manual update method instead (using system-image-cli described above)?
Just looking for the method least likely to seriously mess things up.
-
@fizz If you do system image dots that will be OTA-21 the full details are in the blog https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-21-release-3798 Rc will give you OTA -21 as well for now. Next week it will update again and be in front.

I did the update through the RC channel. System Settings / About now says my OS is Ubuntu 16.04 (2021-W52).Now that it's downloaded, when i look under Updates, i have "Ubuntu touch version 9" available on the stable channel.
But still not seeing anything that explicitely says OTA-21.
Do i have it, or is that version 9 the same thing?
Thanks!

@fizz Thats the one iirc

@lakotaubp Well, i've now switched back to the Stable channel and tried to download v9. It timed out several times, but i ultimately got it to complete. However, shortly after download it gives a signature error. So i'm not sure what's going on with that. Is it related to checksum or similar?
If the one from RC (2021-W52) is the same as WTA-21, i might just stick with it. But it'd be nice to figure out what's going on with this.Unfortunately, this new version hasn't fixed my issues with MMS. I was really hoping for a fix for that.
-
The update was finally done for me from the "about" page.
I love the new storage version
Thanks for the work

Well, after several attempts, that "version 9" would always give an error after download. And my system kept insisting on putting itself on the RC channel even after i put it on the Stable.
So i went the roundabout way and did a full reinstall using the Ubports installer. So now About specifically says that i'm on OTA-21.
Hopefully i'll see all the new updates now. -

I had a similar experience changing from RC to Stable a while ago. It seems the downgrade process is faulty.

It's a known issue/behavior.
I did this on my device too when switching channel (from OTA-19 testing RC to stable channel, while it was not already there for my device, like if stable was an "empty" channel), even if i have no problem getting update (when it comes to me, and for OTA-21 i was today).
