While upgrading OTA to /e/OS 0.14-2021012698290 the GS290 reboots and fails with:
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verify update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E Signature verification failed
R error::21

I redownloaded the file again and the same message showed up.
Workaround
Flash the last version of our recovery!
-
Requirements:
fastboot
-
Download the last recovery version: recovery.img (sha256sum)
-
Reboot your device into bootloader
adb reboot booloader
(If this doesn't work, you can also try starting the GS290 in fastboot: re-start phone while pressing volume-up, choose fastboot by pressing volume up, confirm with volume down. Proceed with next step) -
Once in the bootloader, flash the new recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery-e-0.14-q-2021012698290-dev-GS290.img
-
Once done, reboot your device
fastboot reboot
-
Now the update will apply without any issue
