20.04 Pixel 3A

Still getting issues with installing updates with the installer. I have 20.04 running then new update arrives. Trying to install update just results in system stopping at Recovery. So boot to fastboot and run the installer. This is the fun part. The installer seems to not fetch all the files and only gets as far as the google or fastboot screen. No matter what I try nothing will install 16.04 or 20.04 until android is reinstalled then all works again.
When the install fails using the installer at the bottom of the screen it states the reason for being in fastboot as no viable slot.
Next time I will just run the installer and not test to see if the update installs as it should. Unless someone says it's working.

@lakotaubp Alfred mentioned he's fixed the update issue. No word yet on when it will land. But development is really speeding up on focal. The move unlocks lots of new possibilities for the OS

@arubislander Great news. Just what I have been waiting for. Maybe location on uNav next

arubislander

@lakotaubp Have you been able to perform a succesful update?

Lakotaubp

@arubislander Our WiFi is down till later today. Haven't been able to update anything for a few days. Really want to test latest updates. Will let you know when done

Lakotaubp

@arubislander No not working yet.

@lakotaubp idk if it is a global Focal issue, but got to "forget this network" to be able to connect again on FP4

@lduboeuf Seems ok on OP5 reinstalling on 3a now so will let you know on that.
Really annoying having to go back to google to install UT updates again. Hope it's just mine. Still early days will be sorted soon no doubt.

@lduboeuf Still need to test WiFi being forgotten but testing GPS on uNav and have just tried a webtelegram app.

Fingerprint reader now works

@lakotaubp maybe the version you were on didn't include the fix yet. It has been working for me for the past three days, so now it should also work for you.
If not the difference might be due to the way it is installed. This time around I had 16.04 installed then rannit through the installer for 20.04, deselecting both wipe and bootstrap.

arubislander

@lakotaubp O! Will test that when It het home.

@arubislander Thanks for the tip not updated anything since Thurs so will let you know.

@arubislander GPS works

@arubislander Coming from google and installing 20.04 still it dies not update correctly just tried with 386 and 387 boots only to recovery.
Will try installing 16.04 stable then 20.04 see if that solves it. Need to find the answer to this.
EDIT tried on windows and Ubuntu and it will not install anything after a failed update, will not boot past fastboot. That is with 16.04 and 20.04.
Edit checked again and something is getting confused trying to reinstall 16.04 or 20.04 results in fastboot with the reason given as no valid slot to boot. The only way I can fix this is by installing android again then around we go. Really hope this is only me doing something daft and not affecting others.

I don't think you are doing anything daft, but I have been consistently able to switch between 16.04 and 20.04 with the installer without needing to reflash android on my 3a.

@arubislander Installed stable 16.04 from android, it will not then go to 20.04. I am not checking wibe or bootstrap this time. Now changing from 16.04 stable to devel to see if that works.
Edit: That worked so then installed 20.04 again so lets see what happens now.

Lakotaubp

TELEports now on 3a so guessing now on 20.04 in general

Hi @Lakotaubp
Do you know if we have to reinstall the phone to make the updates go through automatic and not end up in recovey? I tried to update the phone just now, update version 387, and it ended up in recovery. I am on a clean 20.04 install and not through 16.04.
