@ChevChelios Read in another thread that you flashed UT from Android 12, whereas the required version is Android 11. Not saying this is the cause of your issues, but it also cannot be discounted.
I would strongly suggest you reflash Android 11 and then install UT again. As a new user I would probably suggest you go with 20.04 stable, and give 24.04 some more time to get the bugs ironed out before you switch over to that.
