Problem solved via installation instead of step by step update

You should have been able to apply the local update direct to version 7.x (Updater > top right 3 dots > Install local update). Did that fail or maybe wasn’t tried?

It failed.

Vincent did mention this should be theoretically possible, but it is a “big jump”. Meaning a clean install may have been needed as you found out.

Well, yes, I was not lokking for explanation how to update.
I was looking for elderly ota.zip files.
And I still do not know where they are available.
So I have solved my task, but did not get an answer :slight_smile:

Official OTA zip files are in the iodé GitLab at ota / release · GitLab which has the two most recent builds in the FP5 subdirectory

I am pretty sure that - like most custom ROMs, including LineageOS, LineageOS for microG etc. - they do not maintain an archive of older versions. Each release is around 1.5GB and storage space is expensive.
