twitter.com/DanielMicay/st Due to A/B updates and rollback, this isn't really as bad as it sounds. If you were using the beta channel and installed this problematic release, then after upgrading you're prompted to wipe due to incompatible data. If you don't it'll just fail to boot.

twitter.com/DanielMicay/st Unfortunately, some users upgrading from this cancelled beta release may encounter a broken upgrade path to the next beta release where the device forces you to do a factory reset. This is caused by downgrading the kernel, but we're unsure exactly why.

After failing to boot a few times, it rolls back the newer beta release and goes back to the problematic one. It'll successfully boot up again and will then try the upgrade process again. Need to back up the data and accept wiping the next time around. Nice having A/B updates.

The problem definitely appears to be backwards incompatible changes in f2fs in the previous release we aborted and replaced with the new one. We really appreciate people doing beta testing and dealing with this hassle. Helps avoid problems like these making it to stable releases.
