hassOS 4.8 upgrade breaks my install

I had this exact same issue - after upgrade to 4.8, nothing was working and unable to even login to the console.

I resolved it by following the instructions further up to create a USB key with network config, as per https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/blob/d215e81fb1cba22a6ad3ead555f7a8f8036b9bdf/Documentation/network.md

I didn’t bother with the SSH keys, just formatted the USB key, created a network directory and a my-network file as per the instructions, stuck it into the pi and booted it. Magically, everything came up as per before the upgrade. Even the HassOS version had rolled back to what it was originally. Thanks to @kanga_who for putting me the right track.

Think I am going to be skipping 4.8 just for the moment.

Great suggestion on the Goggle drive snapshot backup. Quality add-on

How did you determine the first reboot ?
Did the USB key trigger the reboot automatically or did you just reset power after a while ?

I just pulled the power. I had no alternative, as nothing was working, and nothing displaying on the terminal screen (presuming because it wasn’t plugged in when the machine was coming up??).

how many minutes did you keep between the first and the second boot ?

About 5 minutes, 10 if you want to go safe

They released HassOS 4.9, but it seems that they didn’t make a release for Rpi 2 (?)

I installed hassio from scratch and restored full snapshot.
The instance auto upgraded to hassio 0.110.4
On the supervisor page > system the system log doesn’t come visible (circle keeps turning)
I also can’t find the place to check my config. Tought is was below settings but I can’t find it.
In the server management tab I only have the option to restart or stop server management.

Hmm, after upgrading supervisor to 227 (hassio is again on 3.13) my system log is back. Will reboot a few times to see if it stays stable.
Still can’t find de button to test my yaml configuration.

Log stopped after a while. I also see that my BT gateway and my ZigbeetoMQTT don’t work.

Rpi 2 is out now, I think it just takes awhile for them all to build/upload

You’re right, probably it’s that.

for me the update notification from 3.13 to 4.8 has disappeared just now.

The update to 4.8 worked ok for me on a RPI 3 but it’s now showing that I should update (downdate) to 3.13.

With me the upgrade to 4.8 went well…but now it asks me to upgrade “back”:

that became time. Costed me almost a day to recover.
And still didn’t recover 100%. Does anyone know how to backup and restore users ?

Available updates seem to appear and disappear randomly.
I’m currently on 4.8 loaded from a fresh install on a Pi4 then snapshot restored.
Yesterday I had an update for the supervisor available then it disappeared.
This morning, I was seeing an update for just the supervisor (from 227 to 228). Then a 2nd update for the OS (from 4.8 to 4.9) appeared a little later and both updates were showing available.
Now the supervisor update is gone, but the OS update is still available.
I’m a little hesitant to update anything since I just got everything working again… And even less inclined since they seem to randomly disappear. Are things getting pulled due to issues?

same here.
Upgrade Available
Operatiing System 3.13
You are currently running version 4.8.

What goes?

Try to reload supervisor. 4.9 is available now

Okay, the Rpi 2 was my backup after 4.8 broke my setup on Rpi 4.

Is 4.9 working on Rpi 4 (with USB connection)?

unfortunately it didnt work reloading supervisor and restarting hassio after it.
