Dear community,  
I got the below update note.

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/getumbrel/original/2X/1/15c94d839062821dead8b9c1abe293bd8e917017.png)  
I tried to update now 3 times but after the automatic reboot umbrel is still on Version 1.1.  
Which logs can I check or is there a way to update through command line?  
Thank you in advance!

Exactly same problem here! Tried 6 times. No error message on GUI, reboot shows old version and ad for 1.2.1 pops up again after seconds!  
Umbrel is working smoothly until now on a

ESPRIMO Q556/2 i3 8GB/2TB  
umbrelOS 1.1.2

Known bug or feature? 😉  
Tnx for advice!

I have not tried to update yet. For what I have seen before with other upgrades, there are always issues from one version to the other. I am currently on 1.1, for now.

Hey, you can try SSH into your umbrel and execute

- if you are running it on raspberry pi:

```auto
sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.2.1/umbrelos-pi.update && sudo reboot

```

- if you are running it on x86 system:

```auto
sudo mender install https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.2.1/umbrelos-amd64.update && sudo reboot

```

Wait for the system to update and reboot.

Let me know if this helped.

Are you using raspberry pi or x86 platform?  
Are you able to access your apps?

Raspberry Pi 4 here… followed the instructions but it constantly fails at the same location. Fast, reliable internet here

Interesting that it’s trying to get a Pi5 file when it’s a 4

Hello Django,  
Thank you, I’m on x86 and the provided command doesn’t help. Apps are accessible.  
Attachted the output of ‘_sudo mender install [https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.2.1/umbrelos-amd64.update](https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.2.1/umbrelos-amd64.update) && sudo reboot_’

No idea what is the problem.  
Maybe try updating to umbrelOS 1.2 first?

I tried updating with an older version and creating a verbose log file, but neither the update was performed nor a log file created.

This is the command I used for V 1.1.2:  
_sudo mender install [https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.1.2/umbrelos-amd64.update](https://download.umbrel.com/release/1.1.2/umbrelos-amd64.update) --log-file ‘/home/\*\*\*\*\*/tmp/update.log’ --log-level verbose && sudo reboot_

Here for 1.2.0:  
_sudo mender install [https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/releases/download/1.2.0/umbrelos-amd64.update](https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/releases/download/1.2.0/umbrelos-amd64.update) --log-file '/home/_\*\*\*\*_/tmp/update.log’ --log-level verbose_

If you check my first post my Umbrel version is 1.1 (screenshot) and I tried updating to 1.1.2, 1.2.0 and 1.2.1

Would downloading the latest Raspberry Pi 4 image from [https://download.umbrel.com/release/latest/umbrelos-pi4.img.zip](https://download.umbrel.com/release/latest/umbrelos-pi4.img.zip) then re-etching the SD card be feasible, just like we all had to do to get from 0.54 to to 1.0 initially?

Yes, I’m going to learn about start9. Wonder if I can use my blockchain data without a complete new sync.
