will the update fail again? [answered]

During the previous update, my jolla crashed so badly that I had to have it repaired in Finland. It came back quickly and with a clean system, and when I had everything restored (which took a while, including mounting the sdcard and everything), it worked again.

Now the next update is out, and I am really not sure: should I run the risk again? Or should I follow the "never change a running system" rule?

I never found out why the previous update crashed, so I can't tell how I would avoid it this time. To my knowledge, I followed all the regular advice, but nevertheless it happened...

"Now the next update is out" ?

Well, I can't keep track of the numbers. The previous one was a few weeks ago (six maybe?), this one (1.1.6.27) seems to have been around one or two.

would it be safer to remove the sdcard before the update?

Yes, just remove the micro sd card during the update. I had similar problems with an inserted sd card.

I had a similar experience with 1.1.4.xx. My mistake of course, as I neglected to remove some patch. I was more careful with 1.1.6.xx, and was patient enough until all my favourite patches were updated. I upgraded without any flaw from 1.1.4 to 1.1.6. Currently, all published patches (at least the 10 I installed) are OK, as well as all native apps. I don't use Android except for online banking.

So I have been brave and updated the phone, without even removing the sdcard or anything. Seems like everything works perfectly. Not sure why you have to do tracker-control -es to get your media files back, but that worked as well.

Maybe I should delete the whole thread such as to not confuse people?

What you could do is mark the question as answered. That would be just as good.
