I updated it maunally with the package downloaded from the support site. I dont think there would be a difference between the package as both manually and auto versions are same. Though there is not much of a upgrade we could see except the permission and UI changes.

I would recommend people not to update or upgrade the software versions until you are adventorous.

What was the issue last time?
Yes it's possibly the main board. In my case (similar to u) they replaced the main board.
@ExodusCODM had his both speakers dead, service centre changed this MB too

Hi everyone,
I came across a post regarding wifi not turning on, I'm having this issue now. My phone updated to android version 12, and it worked fine, when suddenly, the phone stopped working, froze for 3 minutes, restarted itself, then the wifi is not turning on. I would like to ask if I still need to take this to the service center and have the motherboard replaced? or is there an other solution already to this kind of problem without going to the service center.
I need your expert advice. Thanks in advance 😊

Bro Nothing's Going to Fix this issue for You.... I had my device working properly for 8 Months and All Of a sudden it's Wifi and Hotspot stopped working 2 updates before the Android 12 one...... Did ask the Brand for a refund but they denied my request and somehow Helped me by Increasing the Warranty by 1 year as a free support after replacing the Motherboard.
Just Don't get your hopes up too High if You get your Motherboard replaced as This issue may occur to you again.
This ain't a software defect but a hardware failure because of the Software.

Thank you Bro for your help. I went to the store where I bought the phone, they advised me to take the phone to the service center to have it checked and probably replace the motherboard. I'm starting to think of selling this phone after they get this fixed and buy another phone from another brand.
