I found that :

Alternatively there is the old Ubuntu SDK IDE. Be aware that it is no longer supported by Canonical, and UBports has chosen to not support it either due to lack of manpower.

@domubpkm Thanks for posting that - it seems a few of us are having trouble with the installer and having a manual install option is valuable.

I ran the command in fastboot mode and got the following message:

Get https//system-image.ubports.com/channels.json: unsupported protocol scheme ""

Could you point me in the right direction?

The issue seems fixed now.

Can you please mark your post as solved ?
You can use the "Topic Tools" mark it as a question then mark is solved.

This will help people searching for already solved issues.

@gischpelino
Thank you for that, it worked

Because I did not follow through the instructions procedure upon installing I'm kind of reluctant to use TWRP now it is installed (only changed 'Keep System Read Only' into allow changes) , frankly I'm not sure whether it'll do more harm than good going through all options available. Too scared of the unknown I guess.....

How to check if I still need to change that into ext4 format?

@stanwood For me, the most amusing thing on the workaround is, that it is just a user-agent string update. 🙂

I know this thread is old, but maybe a new comment can help those that are following it.

My tether connection is working. I have macOS Catalina and a Nexus 5 with OTA-12. A driver for OSX can be located at: https://joshuawise.com/horndis

Sometimes there may be problems and with OS updates, too. I found some good stuff at Github: https://github.com/jwise/HoRNDIS/issues/102

You may get advice that can get you going in the right direction. My internet connection is pretty fast from my Nexus 5 and I hope it continues to work.

I hope this helps someone.

Thank for your revelations Stan, that the installer is not the entire answer to getting UT on the phone, and also that I have been holding buttons in for too long awaiting a response from the phone. If the UBPorts instructions had contained that information maybe I would have been successful, however I am now pursuing the purchase of a phone with Ubuntu Touch already installed.

kugiigi: I found the file. Thanks. I'll try to figure out how to change the keyboard sound to something custom.

Hiding the SSID isn't about security. I read an article on that. I'm in a position where "out of sight out of mind" is appreciated. Thanks for any advice.

@penguining Hi,
I'm glad you got it working.
I just wanted to add that I had a similar experience, but without a happy ending. I've had different experiences depending on the installation source; from best to worst it was: AppImage, deb package and snap package.
As with you, the AppImage recognised everything and installed successfully; at least that's what the message says. The deb was similar but couldn't recognise the device initially. The snap did not work at all: didn't recognise, kept complaining of lost connection to the device and no message of successful installation.
Also, volume up + power never worked for me, only volume down + power.
So at the moment I'm stuck with the UBports recovery screen.

Cheers!

@mymike Oh okay, I thought I missed this feature 😅

Because I'm short in time I will keep my OnePlus One as main phone for the moment. Never change a running system.
When I got time or the OP1 will stop working I will give the OP 3T a try.
Thanks for your feedback. I really really enjoy this great OS as it is growing to be a really great alternative to Android for me.

@aamu said in installing ANYTHING without having terminal or open store installed (aquaris E4.5):

I would have given up

Glad it hasn't come to this.
The search engine you're using may change the result a bit in my experience.

But yeah most searches with Ubuntu touch lead to articles like "Ubuntu touch is dead" or sometimes "Ubuntu touch is NOT dead" and from this you can find UBports community...

The community is small hence not visible.
And nowadays a search for something specific and rare leads to something popular and does not provide the expected outcome. Standardization of people's minds

@AppLee
Wrong said, sorry for my English)), I meant it
this

@ruedigerkupper There are numerous requests, but still nothing has landed in stable: https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+fingerprint

@Kyrylo said in How can I get images for offline installing UBPorts?:

Problem is solved.

Great news.
