> do I still need to follow the same instructions for OTA update? News article from 2026/04/03 has a point with text “Download the update for iodeOS 7 available here”, but the “available here” link is broken. Is there still any way to update the system directly from my phone if I have the bootloader unlocked?

With an unlocked bootloader, you should just be able to install the advertised update from the Updater app. I am getting confused with the scenarios of what shows and what doesn’t, if it doesn’t show, then the OTA file can be downloaded (link at the top of this thread) and in the Updater app choose “3 dots \> local update”. No data reset needed.
