@oldbutndy your spot on ...its a scary prospect to try to undertake

@danfro said: The power button itself works. It brings up the power menu, but pressing the buttons failed. I have that now and then... But no idea what may be causing it.

(I had reported not enough space on 2.x in Telegram before, but in that case, I was able to install 2.x but ran out of space when installing anything for UBports Quality Assurance.) I think this phone has a lot of memory and the partition size (or whatever is the case) can be increased for 2.x.

How is not using Windows relevant to the suggestion to start again? You're have plenty of issues that no-one else is experiencing, I'd say it's a sensible first step. If something was borked during installation or you had the wrong Android version then the UT installed on top of that, may not function correctly.

@haagch That liberux phone looks interesting ! Sadly, far out of my phone budget - even the redesigned, lower cost unit (current, compared to last year).

@Kadafi sorry but it's not clear to me what happens from your description. For me at first a wide green button 'Install' is displayed. When clicked, at first a grey line flashes briefly, then it's replaced by a line that turns progressively blue tracking the download progress. When it's finished, the line flashes briefly (I assume that's when the installing process is done) and finally the green 'Open' button is displayed. From what you say, the 'Open' button would be displayed while the blue progress line is still advancing ? It seems impossible since both UI items are displayed at the some position.

@Bolly Not harsh at all. But we had to go through the process of warning the user and seeing where things went. Where they went warranted intervention. The situation has now been dealt with and we have posted our stance on the matter going forwards.

@pparent lol reminds me of a ancient proverb i just made up ....."isolation is good until one dies of loneliness" ...

i actually had to slow the execution environment to to the hybris translation actually slowing down execution i have zero clue how this is going to play with game/emulator performance its like it was overloading lomri

@makapaka Have you download and unzipped Android Platform tools? If not, download the windows version, unzip it and open a terminal in that folder (right click and in the menu "open in terminal"). This will give you ADB and fastboot. Power off the phone and boot to fastboot with Volume Down and Power button. Then connect it to the PC and run the fastboot devices command in that terminal. Have you installed the Xiaomi USB drivers?

@MarcelloTogg Core merged requests help to see too https://gitlab.com/groups/ubports/development/core/-/merge_requests?scope=all&state=merged

@AndroFree NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER! .... i do not trust the xaiomi unlock process that much ...not a fan at all

@gpatel-fr that is true

@Linus67 Freut mich, dass es geklappt hat

In my opinion all bottom (or most) gestures should be optional, meaning their functions should be accessible elsewhere, ideally in the standard or common way like header button. So basically, gestures are like shortcuts. In this context, we can have a gesture that would be "standard" or consistent across apps.

Ok. Like I uinstall my debian for lmde, I will try laaaaater. It is possible that I have a probleme with the gpu driver : I try to solve it in lmde.

@oldbutndy said: or (2) on another brand, if you brick the main board during UT install, you effectively cannot get a part replacement in any country but France (if I understand that thread correctly). Replace France with EU, then it is correct. I know, as I bricked my FP and had it brought back to life by the said French company, which does hardware costomer service for FairPhone. I do not live in France, but inside EU. It has been a smooth experience, by the way, quite contrary to the bad reputation of FP customer service.

@Escain this is precisely what i am experiencing as well on fp5! @devs please fix!

@Moem You are welcome, hopefully this can help with your issue

Reporting back for future generations, I think I've found the issue. I was retracing my steps and found this: When installing postmarketOS there is a device specific instructionto run "fastboot oem uart enable" command. So I tried to run "fastboot oem uart disable" and then flash UT. So far working like a charm. Did a switch off, did a restart and all works as I'd expect it - also with Libertine set up.
