@MrT10001 Is ther another way to connect to a smartphone than flash android .com ? For example without connecting to internet ??

@wgarcia I have found both these devices pretty straightforward to downgrade/upgrade (hey but that is me :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: ). Pixel3a if you get stuck on the Google logo.... I will write something up when I get a chance. I do have a Windows machine and Linux machine, find windows is "easier" with some devices.

@koonoopidi yeah its no settings to enable dev mode, so its need to power off, then press and hold power button and volume down to enter bootloader, in this way flash.android.com will see device

@mascaret Sorry, what is UBP? Do you mean UBports? The operating system is called Ubuntu Touch.

@tommiedom Does anyone have a possible solution for using an ESIM for the Fairphone 4? Or is the best solution to use the Volla-Phone 22?

@DenMoore wow,thanks for the immediate help, also worked for me. A little more help for the next one : https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-use-nano-text-editor/ Navigate [image: 1705936798327-8baec177-7c9e-49d1-8152-3daeb53773da-navigate.jpg] Before [image: 1705936831212-65c1b150-3f52-4c4b-a9fa-e29652f07111-original.jpg] After [image: 1705936857664-d49f87d0-5abf-41d8-a557-5d3f955f3975-new.jpg]

@arubislander OK, thank you!

@JamP I got success the same way today on Pixel 3a. Installed Google Chrome on Linux Mint. Back to requested factory image with Android Flash Tool and then UBports installer. Thanks people for the advices and suggestions.

@Fizz Any such app would eat away at your battery life... not sure you'd be happy or better off with that.

@MrT10001 said in Startup: On some it really screws up the fastboot menu That's exactly what it did to me, downloaded bootlogo deleted fastboot logo to restore it I used this and created my bootlogo.

@Fizz said in Reinstall?: can i just re-run the UT installer directly? Yes you can!

@Fizz said in mms issues... again: @lduboeuf Why is it the case that wifi has to be turned off to receive MMS? This is due to internal limitation, pretty hard to tackle... https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/core/packaging/ofono-sailfish/-/issues/13

@Fizz said in Installing to Pixel 3a: Interestingly, the Installer asked me to rate how the installation went, i said "pass", but then it gives me a warning that the installation was stopped due to a problem. It's the reporting process that is currently broken. Glad to hear you got it installed and are now up and running!

@xCleaner15 Well done, good news

@arubislander Thanks, I tried my old Microsoft cable and it connected great. Time to set up Libertine now...

@CiberSheep Thanks for the hint. In my case it was not enough, i got to install Android update (12) and do a factory reset then ( still having the SIM up ), then next run i was able to toggle on OEM unlock. Note that by installing the required version later, the setting was greyed again but did not blocked the UT install process ( bootloader stays unlocked ).

@granule You can buy a wireless display/miracast adapater that you cam plug into your monitor's HDMI port. The most recommended is Microsoft's adapter since it's the ones know to reliably work with UT. Other adapters would be hit or miss.
