Update from 2.1.2.3 to 2.1.3.7 fails on Jolla 1 - [<Status 18>] wireless-regdb 2016.06.10-1.3.6: [100 %]

Ok, but what about these "Stale file handle" errors:

[root@Sailfish nemo]# ls -al /usr/share/doc/wireless-regdb-2016.06.10
ls: cannot access /usr/share/doc/wireless-regdb-2016.06.10: Stale file handle
[root@Sailfish nemo]# ls -al /usr/share/zypper/xml
ls: cannot access /usr/share/zypper/xml: Stale file handle
[root@Sailfish nemo]# ls -al /opt/alien/usr/share/doc/wireless-regdb-2016.06.10
ls: cannot access /opt/alien/usr/share/doc/wireless-regdb-2016.06.10: Stale file handle
[root@Sailfish nemo]# ls -al /opt/alien/usr/share/zypper/xml
ls: cannot access /opt/alien/usr/share/zypper/xml: Stale file handle
[root@Sailfish nemo]#

Don't know if it is because of the upgrade or of something else. Maybe this is the reason the update fails.

Nope, not same issue. I tried normal way like 10 times. It fails soon after it starts to display the white bar. When I try with version --dup it fails at this package wireless-regdb 2016.06.10-1.3.6. I searched and read already the first similar threads.If additional logs are needed just tell me.

I replaced the nasty word duplicate then. I recall a lot of other issues that might be involved. Have you disabled repositories, started a btrfs balance lately, got enough space left on the device?

Balance apparently is not needed:

[root@Sailfish nemo]# btrfs-balancer allocation
Total:     14763950080 bytes

[root@Sailfish nemo]# btrfs-balancer balance
No balancing required. 51 % allocated.

What repositories do I have to disable?

Here is an excerpt of mine, hope it helps. My phone is still pristine in regard to repositories.

You mean you are in a bootloop or you are able to start the phone but not able to make the upgrade?

I found this link in web: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204709607-Jolla-Phone-How-to-use-Recovery-Mode

Yes, that is the link that must be read for bootloops and also this one: https://together.jolla.com/question/22079/howto-all-computer-users-recover-or-reset-a-device-that-is-stuck-in-boot-loop/?sort=votes&page=1

I had no other choice than restore the factory settings; other options didn't work. So a long way back to the old days of Sailfish OS.

Good to know it worked. If you have time look at this thread to understand how you can make a full backup with dd. This can save your phone even when restore to factory settings will not work.
