Guide - How to Install an Over-the-air Update?
How do you
even update, anyway? Today here in our blog, we’ll teach you how to update your
HybridTeam-powered ROM.
Hybrid
Development Team uses the open-source OTA Updates app made by MatthewBooth. You
may fork and/or build your own from his GitHub page.
How to Check the Build you are on? – First Things
First
Tap About phone.
You can now
see your current build from there.
How to Update? – The Usual Steps
Updating a
HybridTeam ROM is easy.
For Miix, Simply go to Settings > System
updates (for Miix).
For AOSP-based ROMs, simply open the OTA Updates
app.
If you see
this screen, you’re good to go! You’re
currently on the latest build. If you see there is an update, however, simply tap the card.
Then, tap download. It may take a while for
the update to be downloaded. After its finished downloading, tap Install. It should re-direct you to
your recovery. It would take a while for the update to install.
After it
has been rebooted, you’re now updated!
HybridTeam’s
ROMs update in an ascending and separate
order. The latest build does NOT have
the patches included with the older update. So make sure to check again for
updates after updating.
There is a
weird bug on some users that the System Updates app simply reboots to recovery
without doing anything. Go to Manual
Installation to continue.
To fix it, simply open the app’s settings the
first time. Also enable OpenRecoveryScript if the option is disabled. This
should make your next update much seamless.
How to Update Manually? – The Unusual, but Easy Step
Due to a
weird bug on some users that the System Updates app simply reboots to recovery
without doing anything, you may need to
install the updates manually.
If you have downloaded the update through the System
Updates app, yet the app only reboots to recovery:
- Reboot to your recovery. We’ll be using TWRP 3.2.1 for this guide, though the same applies to older TWRP versions.
- Tap Install.
- Tap Select Storage.
- Tap Internal Storage.
- Navigate to OTAUpdates.
- Flash the update in ascending order
- e.g. Miix Build 18.5.1, then Miix Build 18.5.5, then so on.
- Reboot your device.
If you have downloaded the update directly from the
ROM’s thread, or HybridTeam’s GitHub:
- If you downloaded the update through a PC, copy it to your device.
- Reboot to your recovery. We’ll be using TWRP 3.2.1 for this guide, though the same applies to older TWRP versions.
- Tap Install.
- Navigate to where have you copied or downloaded your update.
- Flash the update in ascending order.
- e.g. Miix Build 18.5.1, then Miix Build 18.5.5, then so on.
- Reboot your device.
Again, the latest build does NOT have the patches included with the older
update. So make sure that the order of flashing is correct. Never
forget to check again for updates after updating.
