Hi sailors,

I've skipped the 1.1.4.29 update and would like to jump directly to the latest one (1.1.6) but I only see the 1.1.4. How to force check for latest update?

Thanks, -df

Jolla has recommended to always update via Settings on the phone as the first option, but when there have been problems like unfinished install, see for example answer here: https://together.jolla.com/question/91987/11429-already-out-stuck-with-28-and-old-lake-photo/

However, I wouldn't recommend to skip an update in purpose, unless there's something you want to avoid. If possible, use the Settings and update to the next available version offered there first.

There's a number of reasons where one might be forced to skip one update, e.g. when there's no network connection. Each firmware must always come with a full image (not a diff to previous version) hence I don't see a reason to follow each and every version up to the latest one especially that update process is - still - not perfect and comes with a risk. Cheers.

You may try removing /home/nemo/.cache/store-client/os-info, rebooting (or killing the store-client process) and then doing again the update check.

Note: since 1.1.4 this isn't needed anymore as there is an option to check for newer updates in case one has been already found.

And that's exactly the answer I wa looking for. There was no need to bounce store-client in my case, just removed the file. Thanks g7!
