occtec Ok peoples, i have fantastic news. I powered down the device for 5min switched it back on and there pin worked.
Great news!
occtec i definitely have 2026071101 installed not sure what happened but it's definitely set to stable
You possibly switched to Alpha channel for a split second by accident which caused the system updater to fetch the 2026071100 release.
occtec I am over the moon that i have all personal files intact. But this is a bit of a worry as to what has happened
All the more reason the start using Seedvault and also making your own backups of your signal chats/database.
