ROS-Reborn-System-OTA (Recovery Mode)

Imagine you’re too lazy to download the latest RengeOS ISO, but your system is running RengeOS and Recovery Mode is enabled. Why not take advantage of the ros-reborn tool?

Essentially, this is a supplementary tool to the ros-reborn tool that allows updating airootfs and the kernel in Recovery Mode based on the latest RengeOS version available here: https://github.com/RengeOS/ROS-Reborn-System-OTA/releases/latest

Thanks to this, you will always save a lot of time installing the latest RengeOS and won’t need a Live ISO or USB, which is also the purpose for which this tool was created:D

Let’s proceed

Note

Note that this process requires a network connection, so make sure you are connected to the network via LAN or wirelessly using the nmtui command.

• First, boot into Recovery Mode from the GRUB menu, then log in as the root user.
• Then enter the command ros-reborn-system-ota and you see this program.

Download airootfs and kernels from latest RengeOS

• Next, confirm if you want to continue and we will proceed with the process of downloading airootfs and the kernel from the latest GitHub release for RengeOS.

Note

This process will not change anything to airootfs and the current kernel in the /rengeos-reborn directory, so you will be safe.

Update airootfs and the kernels from latest RengeOS

• After the download is complete, we will choose between updating airootfs and kernels in the /rengeos-reborn directory (where they are located so that ros-reborn tool can reinstall the system without using a Live ISO and USB).
• If you select Yes, the process will proceed to delete airootfs and the old kernels, replacing them with the new ones.
• If you select No, airootfs and kernels will remain unchanged and nothing will happen.

Note

The information inside the image below is a bit messy, so please make sure you’ve checked for the latest version here: https://github.com/RengeOS/ROS-Reborn-System-OTA/releases/latest

After the update process is complete

• If you successfully update airootfs and the kernel, you will see this message and congratulations, you have successfully updated airootfs and kernels for the ros-reborn tool, yay!
• Now you can use the ros-reborn tool, and it can definitely reinstall the system based on airootfs and the kernels you’ve updated:D
