I installed Remix OS using Windows and the Remix OS installation tool provided by jide.
Any help?

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?

Same here.. It's super lame. Just a blinking cursor.... I tried downloading and installing the new update from their website (dated April 12th) after wiping the drive and get the same problem.
Great stable update.....

Oh so it's not just me...and I was about doing a clean install as well... Lol the irony...I'll probably wait maybe they fix the problems... My laptop was 100% compatible for the OS from day one and now maybe it got incompatible... Who knows

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).

Hi,
This is one of the ways you can try to Dual Boot Remix OS if the others failed for you. Using this method, you can choose to boot either to Windows or to Android each time you restart your computer. This method is safe and won't harm your windows files in any ways. No media inside your computer will get deleted.
Note: No EasyBCD or EasyEFI Softwares used.
Requirements:
The Remix OS Updated Version 2.0 (Released on 25th January)
The Android x86.
Android Installer:
Click this XDA thread for EFI Devices.
Click here for Legacy Devices.
You also need a 7zip software for extracting files etc.
Now, get the full tutorial from here: Dual Boot Remix OS with Windows.
This tutorial also has screenshots to help you in every step.
Note: In the tutorial I have given download link to Remix OS which is the older version, please ignore that and download the newer version of the Remix OS I gave here above.
Thanks.

Yes it is actually a virtual partition created.
The mountvol command works for mounting virtual partitions.

Can we use the embedded system updater to update on this version?
When we have RemOS already installed (based on the ISO published 1st of March) can we run the internal OTA system updater to download and upgrade finally the env?
Ok, have checked it minutes later: System Upd returns "Already the latest version", still on RemixOS 2.0.102
So Sys Upd doesnt work ?

Why are posting this in PC? You are confusing people on what items are being updated.
Ok, only for Remix Mini
So big question: Why is that post under "Remix OS for PC" ?
My guess is coming unstable build of RemixOS for PC.
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.

What actually opengl es version is supported by ur GPU driver in remix os , u can find it in setting/about page at the bottom, try change the value with proper version reported

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.

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...

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

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.

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!
