Factory reset required after OTA update
Expected Behavior
After update to a newer build, lineageos should still work.
Current Behavior
After OTA update, I have to restart my device and the device is in a boot loop. After several minutes it restarts to recovery and I see a message: "Cant load Android system, your data may be corrupt ...." and I am asked what to do, the otions are, "try again" and "Factory data reset". First option does not solve the issue. Second option resets my devece and I have to set it up again. Sadly any 3rd pary apps are gone and I dont have playstore anymore. Thats why the second option is not working either and I have to flash lineagos again (adb). For me, it means the update isnt working. It happens with all versions I tried an no apps were installed, just playstore.
Possible Solution
Steps to Reproduce
- Flash lineageOs like described here: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gta4xlwifi/install
- Flash google apps: https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html
- After LineageOs set up, wait for some new OTA image and try to update your device.
- You will be forced to restart your device to finish the update. But you wont be able to successfully reboot your device.
