How to update or upgrade the newest build without to lost the Data.

Hi @kev-dev1 ,

It depends on many factors. The main is partition layout. In case new release has the same partition layout as previous, you can just put a comment on ./fastboot format userdata & metadata lines in ./flash.sh script and flash.

In theory this should work for v0.3.0 to v0.4.0 transition, but nobody from GD team tested it. So there is a risk for you to lose your data.

To eliminate any risks mobile brands have test department, which tests how will OTA influence user data and system stability before publishing release.
