In november I had a problem with my Moto G32 the tactile screen not working after upgrading to IodéOS 6.9.
I followed the suggestion in this thread and sideloaded a hotfix. This fixed the screen issue. However, I can no longer update OTA via the built in updater.
My question is now:

Back up my data and sideload to the latest update.
Or will it be better to do a clean install using the IodéOS install tool and hope the issue has been fixed in the latest main firmware. I guess this would allow me to use OTA in the future.
Kind regards

Hello,
it is a while that update, or should I better use the term upgrade IodeOS from 6.9 to 7.1 is available.
The link on the update app leads to a LineageOS page - I know that IodeOS is LineageOS based.
But I am not sure what to do with the information. Is there a upgrade guide for IodeOS release upgrades?
A) do I apply the LineageOS upgrade guide with adb sideload of the 7.1 IodeOS image and preserve data
or
B) should I use the official IodeOS installer and does this imply to be a fresh…
My update app was always updating my pixel 6a until 7.1 . Now it won’t automatically update the phone . Idk if I am that tech savvy to mess with manual updating hence why I paid for premium OS . This is no brainer that it should be working out ofthe box with paid version for sure right ???
