Updating FP5 from iode 6.7 to 7.5 OTA

Installation Help
1

I am running iodeOS 6.7 on a FP5. The updater app is v 15.

Now a message is shown in the update app that iode 7.3 is available combined with a link to lineageOS and explainig that the normal updater app could not be used for this process.

Opening the lineage OS wiki there are 2 options for the FP5:

  1. Update to a newer build of the same LineageOS version
  2. Upgrade to a higher version of LineageOS (e.g. lineage-22.1 → lineage-23.2)

I did not found any hint which lineageOS version is actually running in my fp5 together with iode 6.7.

Can you give me an information, which option should I choose and what is the further process after updating/upgrade lineageOS.

Thanks in advance and best regards.

You are seeing this message because of a “one time” change needed to enable going from v6.x to v7.x:

To upgrade to version 7, you need to first install an update to the “Updater app” itself, as described in our iodé 7 release announcement: iodéOS 7 is Now Officially Available! - iodé So follow the link there to install the “v6-to-v7.apk” and then when you re-launch the “Updater app” you should find version 7.3 available to install.

The reason this one-time manual process is needed is due to LineageOS (our upstream source) making a change that disabled major version upgrades by default (like going from version 6 to version 7).
