Hi list,

I have a problem with my Meizu MX4 (Arale r6). I tried to install Flyme 
and I needed to enable the read and write mode, so via terminal I used 
the command "phablet-config writable-image". After trying to install 
Flyme without success,*I restored the Ubuntu image*, according to the 
official guide: 
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/

*Ubuntu touch now is restored and is working*, but I have problems with 
some updates (not all of them). In fact, in settings > updates *I can 
see the list of all the updates, but I can just install some of them*. 
If I try to install a new update from the list, the OS seems to install 
the update, but gets stuck. So if I look for new updates again I always 
have the same ones available.

I know that when the read-write mode is enabled it's not possible to 
receive new updates via OTA, so I thought that maybe the file system was 
still in the r/w mode even though I reinstalled Ubuntu Touch; so I used 
these commands via terminal:

paola@paola-XPS:$ *adb devices*
List of devices attached
75H*********    device

paola@paola-XPS:$ *adb shell rm /userdata/.writable_image*
rm: cannot remove ‘/userdata/.writable_image’: No such file or directory


*It seems that the r/w mode is not enabled*, so I can't understand why I 
can't install the updates.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Marco
