Installed the new update about an hour ago. All seems well EXCEPT my phone was deleted and will not connect to my truck (PAAK still works though). I only tried it twice to pair and gave up. I'll try again tomorrow, I'm sure it'll work fine.

I figured this was part of the bad update and after the patch this would be fixed, but it's still not working properly - so, anyone else having issues with the mobile app now showing incorrect info for the charge status, doors, etc when the truck goes into sleep mode? App and truck are fully updated

Mine updated, I didn't check the truck.. and a bit ago I got a notification to update again. Now it's installing the same version over itself it appears. In between I did check the truck, app says it's on the right version but truck was still busted.. fingers crossed the 2nd install works?

If PAAK is still working and you’re on an iPhone it’s likely not pairing because you still have that Bluetooth device setup on your phone. If you go to Bluetooth settings and do « Forget this device » for the Rivian items, you should then be able to re-pair.

Obviously, just make sure sure you have a fob or card as backup since you’ll temporarily lose PAAK ?

I'm Android but if it won't pair tomorrow I'll try your suggestion, thanks!

Yeah I keep closing and opening the app but still nothing changes

Not just close but force stop the app

Oh! Update from my post above!

I closed the screen that says update with the buffering wheel and then scrolled.down to the bottom under the climate and service and went into updates. Then it showed the update with the "update now" button available even though I already clocked on the update button (but did it from the alert at the top of the app page near the hamburger menu).

It then asked me to verifyi wanted to do the update and when I clicked yes it immediately showed the progress bar and 0%

I think the update needs to be initialized from the menu at the bottom, not the update icon at the top of the app

Now complete and back in business after 35 min from the above

No such thing on an iPhone that I’m aware of

Just went on a drive and it seems that speed limit signs recognition is back with is update.

That is awesome if it is true.

There is, slide up from bottom right corner, the app switcher comes up, just go to the Rivian app and slide it up, that will close it.

I like how the update notes of the new version say nothing about fixing rivian-gate infotainment brick issues ?

If it works like I think it does, these updates are a VM that gets swapped out. It’s the entire android operating system plus whatever Rivian software is on there.

that is signed and checksummed as a whole bundle.

Apple does a similar thing with iOS and macOS, which is why their updates can take so long. They are not patching, they are replacing the whole OS each time.

(Apple does have a lower touch mechanism for critical security fixes)

I’m totally speculating about how this stuff works with Rivian.

I think they are doing something different (read strange) on their deploys. I had one module fail because of bad hardware when I first got my R1S, the update in the truck was showing a failure but everything except that one module had the new features and the vehicle was showing it was running the latest version. I had to schedule a service appointment for the hardware failure and I did not get notified of the newer updates that came out until the vehicle was fixed and the install failure went away.

The vehicle was working fine while I waited for the service appointment.

I just found out my update won't complete because I have an issue with my 12V battery. Fortunately, I already have a mobile service appointment for a tire rotation scheduled for this Friday, so the plan is to replace the 12v then, and the tech will do an on-site software upgrade.
