Remixos is intalled with Virtualbox 5.0.16
today i saw in the updater;:
- a message "Remis OS 2.0.202 ... has been downloaded"
- a button "reboot and install"
then
i reboot
then
i get this message briefly then the gui is started and i get the old remis os
"Start updating...
ui_print Warning: No file_contexts

did use official installer when you installed remix os?
if not then i think you must use it
the official remix os iso does not work with virtualbox.
remix os start then gui does not start. you get only text cionsole.
that is why i use the xda iso
thanks
i think it might couse of you rooted the remix os
I think I found the problem, the ota zip is downloaded to
/storage/emulated/0/autoupdater
and not
data/media/0/autoupdater

Those are the same location.
As already stated the OTA is for the untouched, unaltered stock kernel & .imgs; if you use a different kernel or img or alter the stock ones the OTA will not apply and it shouldn't be expected to.
i solved the problem by installing the original remis os with

NB. At Step 5. Mounting /system as read-write will also break ota.
OTA update of Virtualbox installation
I posted a thread today solving your problem: Remix OS on Hard Drive or Virtual Machine - Installation and OTA Update.

Hi, is the remix os for pc 2.0.202 release out? there's a release note on http://support.jide.com/hc/en-us website. but OTA update doesn't say so and download page isn't updated either.
Enable test builds in settings.
Its not out yet, probably getting it ready for release soon i hope, and hopefully we have audio this time around!
enable latest update in setting/about page and tap 5 time "Remix OS version" to show aditional update call "unstable update"(well its stable enough for me"
and the new update has new feauture, it has pre-rooted native apps in it ( no need to install superuser or any other root apps anymore)
just do install remix os beta update to latest 2.0.202 and replace init.img file with one that have R/W in system, cause original init.img file still only has R/O system
note : backup ur original init file for next update, cause OTA update without original init file will fail..
Ok, I was able to download the update this morning! Not sure what was added or fixed but i was sad to see audio is still not working
this remix os never worked on my computer, the installation never finish successfully . I wonder if it's a matter of driver, like my asus essence stx sound card.
Go to Setting then "About" and tap "Remix OS version" 5 times to show (unstable update). Then go back to Settings click on "Update", click on the 3 little dots (options), click "System update version options", then select "Unstable version", and go back to "Update" and it will be there.
I downloaded and placed the initrd.img into the Remix OS folder, but when any app asks for root it fails with message "libc.so is 32 bit"
Anyone know what's going on? I installed 64 bit version.

You can use that to mount system.img or data.img under windows to a virtual drive

The 202 update shows in the update box as being downloaded. I am then given the option to reboot and install, but when I do, nothing changes. Does my installation have to be rooted first? I have Remix installed on the hard drive (SSD) of my Acer Timeline 1810TZ.

I have a similar problem. I'm running 2.0.102 as the only OS on an Acer touch-screen laptop that is booting from a 64GB SSD. Everything is working fine.
However, the Update window shows that Remix OS 2.0.202 B2016040501 has been downloaded.
When I click the "Reboot and Install button", the machine verifies the OTA package and reboots.
Problem is: the OS hasn't been updated at all and I'm still in 2.0.102, even though "Options / Automatically install updates" is turned on.
A step-by-step guide on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Right click your .Img file, ImDisk creates a shortcut for mounting.
Remix OS new update 2.0.202 now have pre-rooted feature, no need to install superuser or any other root apps anymore, just install the update and replace init.img file with one that has a Read and Write ystem in it cause init.img file from latest update still only has Read Only system.
fyi, if u still dont have this update, tap 5 time at Remix OS version in about page, this will show aditional update feature call "unstable update"( well its stable enough for me lol)
note : backup and keep ur original init.img file for next OTA update, cause without the original init file OTA update will fail.
ty jide for good OS:good:

I tried installing the OTA update v2.0.202 for Remix OS. The file was successfully downloaded but on reboot it says "update failed".
I installed Remix OS using Windows and the Remix OS installation tool provided by jide.

Its an error in the script. I get the same eroor, but it's because I installed as ext4 to it's own partition using the Android x86 installer.
The update package is looking for system.img, and if it doesn't find it, it will throw a status 7 error. My system is installed as writeable to sda3, along with /data.
I'd love to figure this out, not only for me but others as well.

Go to the update section, click the 3 dots and disable experimental updates. That usually messes it up.

Are you by chance rooted? If you are the update will fail. The script gives an error message do you remember what it was? Also what kind of set up do you have USB, hard disk, etc.
well the ota's have sha1 checks and cannot be used if /system is installed R/W
That really doesn't make much sense since the update doesn't work on either my hdd installed version (ext4) OR the version I have on the USB flash drive (FAT32 system.img).
Error is similar to what you would get from an open installer script (Status 7).
Hello I just updated my system to 202 version using the ota update and after the actual update I had a reboot then I'm stuck in the [email protected]_x86_64 line...
Any ideas?

Not a bad idea, I need to hit the hay at the moment because I am leaving for a work trip early am. So go for it bud! Just make sure to be super detailed[emoji14]
Also please note, I tried using the ota to update to a test release a few days ago... Same issue then. I chalked that up to it being a test release... But if I recall build dates and version numbers correctly, this stable release is the same release as my failed "test" build.

I had the same issue. I got it booting by adding nouveau.modeset=0 i915.modeset=1 to the menu.lst file in remixos installation folder. However the laptop seems to run hotter than the older version. Also I notice chrome cannot be resized to be less than half screen horizontally and the amazon appstore your apps>cloud does not work properly so I can't download apps i had previously gotten from them.
I have exactly the same problem. Is there a way to update or to prepare the system from the Terminal ?
Because i have only the remix OS on my Laptop
Update of Remix OS which has been installed using the Android x86 installer
If you have a Remix OS system which was set up with the Android x86 installer in an ext4 file system looking like this:
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german,
an OTA update is not possible (creating the message "update failed").
There is a workaround, if you create an USB flash drive containing the current version: The android directory must have the name of the current version, and all system files (i.e. all directories and files other than data) have to be deleted. A new Android x86 installation without formatting the ext4 partition will create updated system files and preserve the data directory (just updating it).

The OTA update looks for file images that are created by the Jide installer, if u , like in my case having remixOS on an ext4, with system and data as folders, rather than data.img and system.sfs, ur system wont updateOTA, and anyway the ramdisk.img is located in different place if installed with jide installer from windows than installed to ext4 partition using other methods as "INSTALL=1" at the command!
i updated by pulling the intire image from jide website!

u wont get OTA by that method...ur installation needs to have been precisely installed by the windows jide installer executable, currently no installer for linux!

I have really "screwed" up here. I erased everything on my TouchPad. So, how can I add the files I needed in order to get the rest of Android 9?
I have tried several files with TPToolbox (2015-01-08-v42) and did not get anywhere.
So, right now I could use some big help here. Without an OS, I cannot even get TWRP installed.
Thanks ahead for any help and support here.
BTW, I had Dirty Unicorn 8.1 before I erased everything. So I am really looking forward to this new version.
What does it show on the moboot menu when the TP is booted?
There was nothing, no software or moboot installed. I did finally manage to get TWRP installed (3.1.0.0) and during boot moboot version 0.3.8 shows up as well. So good for the great (really!) news.
But I now have a new problem, when I download load "du_tenderloin-v13.0-20190328-1316-RC.zip" the MD5 value does not match and it fails installation. I have tried 4-5 times on the downloads and still fails the MD5 value. I guess I'll wait till the next RC release or does someone knows where I can get a good release?
BTW- Thank you "HP_TOUCHPAD" for getting back to me. I really appreciate it. And to all the guys on this forum, especially a big thank you to Flintman for all that he has done .
How are you installing DU v13?
There is nothing wrong with the file from the site.
Using TWRP 3.1 0-0:
Select the flash zip file.
On the next screen in Options ( uncheck ) Zip signature verification.
The ROM will install with no issues.

_________________________________________________
I downloaded a "fresh" version of du_tenderloin-v13.0-20190328-1316-RC.zip (MD5 still did not match).
I made sure that "Zip signature verification" was unchecked and went ahead and installed it again.
During the installation I get the following error:
Flashing Dirty Unicorns System files...
E1001: Failed to update system image.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file "/external_sd/ttinstall/du_tenderloin-v13.0-20190328-1316-RC.zip"
Updating partition details...
...done
I went ahead and re-boot the unit and it would only show the following:
moboot 0.3.8
boot TWRP
boot webOS Recovery
reboot
shutdown
For some reason I believe that the file is not coming down correctly (?) and because my MD5 does not match is the reason I'm thinking this.
Thanks for the support you are giving me.
The MD5 posted it for the 20190328 ROM is:
3fb70d72204ce4e8eef56fb4548930b6
I downloaded the 20190328 ROM and in Ubuntu did a md5sum on the file, the result:
89e32f1c6b5cf6792bf3ac6216c40a26
MD5 does not match.
Installed the ROM in TWRP 3.1. 0-0 after preparing the system for DU v13 as explain on this guide:
HP TOUCHPAD Optimize for Android with Swap Partition and SKZ Kernel_ Flash Files_
From the TWRP installation screen:
Installing zip file '/external_sd/du_tenderloin-v13.0-20190328-1316-RC.zip'
Checking for MD5 file...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found

The ROM finished the installation property
Question:
How was the Android partitions created before installing the DU v13 ROM?
Was the /system partition created of a size of 1.4GB or larger?
How was the Android partitions created before installing the DU v13 ROM?
Using "Wipe_All_and_Create_Android_with_Swap_Partition"
Was the /system partition created of a size of 1.4GB or larger? Yes, 1.7GB I believe.
So, I have started over again -
I re-booted and from MOUNT I Selected (checked) Cache, Data, System and Micro SDCard (some were not checked before)
Then I went back to Install and tried again.
Great! This time I get;
Flashing boot image...
script succeeded: result was [1.000000}
Updating partition details...
According the web page - ..."installed the ROM as always, there is nothing else to do..."
I then rebooted - booting into Android - Optimizing app xx of 120
Upon finishing I get the following error "Weather Information Pro...keeps stopping.
Also, I am unable to connect to the Play Store to update the Play Service app,
Showed that Android Play Store was outdated.
Tried to installed "open-gapps-arm-9.0-pico-20190405.zip" but it failed with the following error:
Error Code: 40 - Unmounting /system
My new question is: How do I install open-gapp to get the latest? And does open-gapp also installs
the Play Service app?
Again, thanks for all the help.

My new question is: How do I install open-gapp to get the latest? And does open-gapp also installs

The proper way to have a working Tablet:
1. Using the Wipe_ALL_Create_Android_With_Swap ( DU v13, Android Pie needs a swap partition)
2. Reboot
3. Flash the DUv13 ROM and the version of open-gapp and the same time.
The best is to use the Variant Pico, is the basic and allows Play Service to install any Apps.
