@earlybird Try a different usb port and or cable. Start the installer first then connect your nexus 5 and see if that helps get 15.04 on your device.
Theres also the welcome and install group https://t.me/WelcomePlus
If the above does not work. We should be able to get 15.04 on your nexus before 16.04 stable comes out soon.

@marathon2422 now just need to get out of it : )
Also can't unlock oem remotely either just tried. Fastboot detects it but no unlock allowed
edit All sorted previous owner wiped the phone without logging out of google first. That locked the phone. Had to login with their details first. Google help desk said that couldnt happen once he hd removed the phone from his account and signed out and phone rewiped by me, and yet it can 😉

@domubpkm Yes, in the bad news, there is a very small part of good news...

@lakotaubp Thank you for your reply.
I was able to reinstall OpenStore easily using the instructions from https://open-store.io/about
and I was hoping to avoid the reflash so I will try your toggle suggestion and switch to the dev channel and reflash as a last resort. Cheers.

@marathon2422 maybe FHD stands for F*ing Hell Delivery 🙂

@ellypsis yes don't worry, there's even more (v.g. http://ubuntutouch.org/). All good.

I believe the idea is to have separate domains for community activities, and for foundation activities, but they are kind of mix currently.

@stropbu OK you can just download the installer and try it yourself, and I will try and help from here or I will get one of the install team to help from here. You can also use matrix and IRC bridge to contact ubports. Sorry but can't remember the links just now as only have phone at present.
Also look up ubports docs and instructions are there also.
Of course you can keep the old Ubuntu touch, but it is not supported at all now so your situation will not improve.

@tpfaff100 I don't know but Kris Jacewicz's Blog is full of tips to set a UT device for developers (https://kriscode.blogspot.com).

@hummlbach Stuttgart would be nice for me, i'm interested in app development

Yes, troubles have lasted about four hours : http://downdetector.com/status/telegram

@stropbu si vas a la página de Instalar Ubuntu Touch [0], pulsando en el menú de la izquierda en documentación, personalmente creo que explica bastante claro como instalar UBports usando distintos sistemas operativos.

Ahí indica "Vaya a la página de descargas [1] y descargue la versión adecuada del instalador para su sistema operativo".

También se explica en la página de instalar [0] lo que debes hacer con ciertos modelos antes si tienen instalado Android.

P.D. Hay partes de la documentación que verás en inglés porque aún no ha sido sincronizada la traducción.

If you go to the Install Ubuntu Touch page [0], clicking the menu on the left hand side in Documentation, I personally believe the explanation about how to install UBports using different operative systems is crystal clear.

There you can see "Go to the download page [1] and download the version of the installer for your operating system"

You can also see in the install page [0] what to do with specific phone models running Android.

P.S. You'll still see parts of the documentation in English because some parts are waiting to be synchronized.

@flohack you might well be right, they do however seem to sell a lot of Debian gear, "Amount donated until today: 1,358.00 €".
