The autoloader install does not finish the cache
Low risk✓ ProvenWhat you see
- The installer stops near the end or says the cache failed.
What it means
This is about the WebKit Autoloader installer. The project has documented fixes for it in its releases: from v0.3.1, the installer can detect when the browser cache fails to download because the browser's saved data is damaged.
What to do
Use the cache recovery in versions that include it
In those versions, the installer shows a prompt on screen that offers to clear the WebKit browser data and try again.
If the procedure asks you to clear browser data, do it and let the install finish
Do not close the window until the installer is done.
When to stop
Browser cache is not the system
Do not confuse clearing the browser cache with reinstalling the firmware or deleting system files by hand. This problem calls for neither.
