PinePhone Updating Instructions
Mobian
There is no need to regularly flash the newest images to your phone. You can use the pre-installed program "Software" or because Mobian is based on Debian you can open a terminal and use apt to keep the system updated. The following command will check for updates and install them:
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
If some packages were held back, you can update them with:
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
If the update included changes related to the bootloader (e.g. a new kernel) run the following command:
$ sudo u-boot-install-pinephone
Other OSs
Manjaro, or other Arch Linux based OSs
To first download all new package's
$ sudo pacman -Suuyyw
and do the same without the 'w' to apply new package's
$ sudo pacman -Suy
(--cache-dir can be used for a separate download location, otherwise consider reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Configuration for further optimization)
If you encounter any errors during the update, you may have to update the Pacman mirrors as follows:
$ sudo pacman-mirrors -f
