It is a simple un-tar. Have a look at [1]. The system partition/image is mounted at /recovery/system and the un-tar is run with the current directory set /recovery which then completely matches the directory layout in the update tarball. However it's a two-step process where first all removed files are removed and then the new/changed files are added/updated. regards, Simon [1]: https://code-review.phablet.ubuntu.com/gitweb?p=CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery.git;a=blob;f=system-image-upgrader;h=c645b0abebb2a2d1295fd20071a4f10b9ce78cf0;hb=refs/heads/phablet-4.4.2_r1#l515 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to system-image in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1495207 Title: BQ E4.5 (r24): after fine update to r25 system is reported as r-1 and as "never" updated Status in Canonical System Image: New Status in system-image package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After the vacation I have updated today (September 13, 2015) my BQ 4.5 and the one of my wife to r25. Both updates went without any problem and mine does not show any issue. The one of my wife shows in About the device window: OS number: -1 (and not r25) last updated: never version: Ubuntu 15.04-armhf (20150825-170536) What went wrong and what can I do? I'm afraid that the next update will fail completely now because it can not see the current version. Apart of this the device is working.
