Application manager caches to mmc2 by default, there's no need to interfere with it to make it do this.

apt-get does not do this caching, so you're much more likely to run out of space upgrading with apt-get.

What Red Pill offers you is a way to disable this feature, not enable it. It is enabled BY DEFAULT. . . .

How many times do I have to say this, DO NOT INSTALL THE "Operating System" UPDATE AND DO NOT LEAVE THE DEVICE IN "Red Pill" MODE.

Anybody who leaves the device in Red Pill and does random **** because they think they know what they're doing will get exactly what they deserve (and depending on the repositories you have installed, this is frequently a reboot-loop with the misnamed and frequently misused "Operating System" package).

Please do not leave your devices in Red Pill mode unless you either A. Understand what the hell you're doing or B. Have a damn good reason to do so.

Whats the solution for having a successful update (no system update listed in App Manager), but the tablet version is still 23-14?

I tried rebooting it manually, but no luck.

I have no idea what state it is in now. I haven't even bothered to get root on it, so I can't even do an apt-get.

What is the 'look' of your bootmenu? Do they have brackets surrounding your other choices? Maybe it is NOT the bootmenu.
More details.

Same thing here. I upgraded while booted from MMC. It did not automaticily reboot - I did do a manual reboot. Control panel now shows the new level. How do I figure out if I am running off the old rootfs/initfs?

hmm, im not sure about that, given that apt-get clean seems to clean up space on my internal storage even when i have only used the app manager...

but i guess i should go a remove my enhancement request then

i think that it means you were not successful (i am in the same boat) except i have done the apt-get install osso-software-version-rx44-unlocked route and still no update.....

hi thanks for the response

it looks like this:

internal flash
(internal MMC card, partition 2, ext2)N/A
(internal MMC card, partition 3. ext2)N/A
external MMC card, partition2, etx3
power off (when no on charger)

on the previous bootmenu it didn't show the two N/A internal partitions.

thanks please let me know if there is anything else to post to help figure this out.

It is NOT the bootmenu problem. Your choices 2 and 3 are hosted. your internal card/clone is NOT working. Your options:

1) take out your internal card, and stare at it for 10 seconds and put it back. Sometimes that would work.

2) take out your internal card, and redo the cloning process if your card is still readable by anything. Chances are, they are dead .

What card are you using and when was the last time you access the card and what did you do to the card just before the update?

The update worked perfect for me, twice. I ran it while booted from mmc2, rebooted to flash because the boot menu was gone, ran the update in flash, reflashed the boot menu (thanks fanoush), and booted to the cloned OS on mmc2. Two successful updates with no problems at all.

I did have the rtcom-beta-os2008 installation problem, but fixed that by adding the Callabora diablo catalogue (thanks qwerty12).
