[BLISS ROMS Development] ElfinJNoty:
That is unfortunate. For you.

You likely need to do some research about Android and more specifically Android x86. Throw in some basic Linux as well. Never hesitate to educate yourself.

If what is laid out in "the instructions" looks like a foreign language..... You shouldn't be attempting to install Bliss OS

But thanks for your interest ?

No

:laugh:

Open up your install directory in a file explorer. For this example let's assume you installed to your C: drive. Therefore, your install should be to C:\Android\ is unless you have changed the location.

Now, extract the contents of an .iso you wish to upgrade to(must be the same Android version = you cannot follow this method to replace a Oreo installation with the files from a Pie .iso)

Copy/cut and paste the following files(replace) to "update" the existing installation:

kernel

system.img(or system.sfs if you haven't given yourself r/w by unpacking the .img from the .sfs)

initrd

ramdisk

Leave your data.img in place

Reboot

Profit

?

We will not be adding an update option to the Windows .exe installer. We are actually debating weather or not we should continue supporting the .exe installer.

The current state of Bliss OS remains a development beta preview. We are wanting users who are knowledgeable enough to do these types of processes themselves rather than dumbing things down for a lesser knowledge crowd at this time. Not always beneficial for this project when we hand feed a user info or steps to take for something. We prefer hand ups rather than hand outs. So we have an expectation from users right now to be able to handle the basics of installation and updating on their own, so that we can focus on progressing with bugs and features rather than the flooding of emails and private messages we get from users who sometimes sound as though they shouldn't be playing with any type of software or operating system. Especially since many of the questions we are being asked daily have already been answered in a searchable location, or are clearly described in "the instructions"= 2nd post of this thread

Thank you for the feedback. Noted ?

Please provide the model of the CherryTrail CPU in use

As well as the make/model of your device

Glad things seem to be functioning for you

Cherry/Bay devices have been a constant WIP and troublesome throughout the Linux community. That additional info will help us. Thanks in advance

You likely need to edit the grub boot menu entry to point it to the correct storage location in order to find the OS files. Can't boot if it can't find the installation directory.

We are unable to provide any helpful support for virtual machine instances + BlissOS. Because there is too much variance between machines and configurations, as well as the virtualization taking place. We hear success from most, but troubles from others. Has shown itself to be user error or additional configuration needed in which only the owner will have the knowledge to troubleshoot.

When you find a working solution, please share with the community here.

Pro-Tip: have you added androidboot.hardware=android_x86_64 to your grub command?

If you need further details about this necessary step, please use this forums "search this thread" feature

EDITED: to reflect correct "Pro-Tip"
