The Iodé app is the adblocker, not the updater.
IodéOS 6 is Android 15, 7 is Android 16.
I understand iode is not the updater. I am trying to update the adblocker. Is there a process that works?
The adblocker is updated with iodéOS.
How? I followed your directions that you cited above with the same results as ciccio70.
@ciccio70 @HollyHam hold on the updater icon and tap “App info”, then “Storage & cache” and clear them both, then try to update again.
I still get “Failed to import local update”.
Just running the updater results in “no new updates found”. Refreshing the updater doesn’t bring any up. I am attempting to apply a local update named iode-7.1-20251227-brax3-ota.zip. In the updater app info window it states version 15 org.lineageos.updater. Are these the right file names?
Have you tried to update without the transitional updater?
Go to app info and tap the 3 dots up right to remove it and try to install with the regular updater.
The other updater I have is named UpdaterBetaIode6v3.apk. Running that one gives me the same result. The version at the bottom of this updater’s info page reads the same.
I was able to update to 7.0, I think. Strange this version doesn’t apply.
Normally you either use the beta 6 or the transitional 6 to 7.
The update takes some time and then you reboot, in the updater and the About phone you can see what Android you are running.
You should be on 7.1 December 27th.
7.2 comes in some days, beta is already out.
Under About phone I see Android Version 16 and iodeOS Version 7.0-20251130-brax3.
I will look for 7.2 and give that a try when it arrives. I need to break off for now. Thanks for your suggestions George. Regards, Holly
Hey Geroge I also still get “Failed to import local update”. Still need to do the LogCat thing that you mentioned.
Tty this updater, beta/UpdaterBetaIode6v3.apk · master · ota / ota · GitLab
I get “Failed to import local update” with UpdaterBetaIode6v3 also.
As you can see in the code here, app/src/main/java/org/lineageos/updater/UpdateImporter.java · v6.11 · os / public / lineage / packages_apps_Updater · GitLab , this is a system exception because it’s in a “try{} catch {}” block, this means that you may get more informative errors if you get the LogCat, you probably need a factory reset.
i downloaded and installed Android Studio. Connected the phone to my computer via USB. On the phone i launched UpdaterBetaIode6v3 and tapped the refresh button to manually check for updates. None where found. Then, i did a local update, selected the update file and got “Failed to import local update” again. At this point, i exported the logcat and uploaded it here. Are you able to see any errors regarding this issue? Note that i had to add “.txt“ to the logcat filename, so that i could upload it.
It seems that it doesn’t have permission to open the file.
In which directory have you downloaded the file ?
Line 7763,
"message": "Failed to import update package
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/lineageos_updates/localUpdate.zip: open failed: EACCES (Permission denied)
though it seems that the Updater can’t access its own data folder, the downloaded file should be copied inside there as “localUpdate.zip”
The file is at Brax3\Download\Brax3. Basically i created a new folder named Brax3 inside the Download folder that was already there by default.
The downloaded file should be copied to /data/lineageos_updates? i don’t see this folder. Where is it?
You can’t see or access this folder, this is done by the updater but it seems it can’t do it, this is what means “import”.
Now 7.2 update is out, can you see this update ?
You can also try manually, brax3/iode-7.2-20260131-brax3-ota.zip · master · ota / release · GitLab
The updater cannot see the 7.2 update either and the manual check for updates still gives: “No new update found“. Did you see if the logcat shows why this also happens?
Try it manually as a local update. It shouldn’t be happening so I don’t know what happens specifically on your device. This is where the factory resets fix things.
