@Vlad-Nirky Thank you. Done.

@Vlad-Nirky Ah, ok! I didn't know this about switching on a these things. Appreciate the tip!

@Keneda Sure, but in such cases unlocking the bootloader again restores function. In case of triggering the anit-rollback protection, the device is well and truly bricked.

@dobey , I want to contribute to the testing of Ubuntu Touch with my Volla Quintus. I thought that the "Join us" next to the "sign in" link was meant to register for the "sign in" (see screenshot) [image: 1757329041535-ut-screen-2.jpg] But my problem is solved now: I pressed "sign in" and found an equivalent to an "register here" link on the following page. Thanks for your help! If everything works well, I will begin with testing in the next days. And maybe later I will think of joining (as in "Join us"), but not now.

Thanks for the help

@RJDan These are mostly specific to the desktop use case but obviously these things will also land on UT, maybe not immediately but definitely in the future.

I casually watched a part of that Q&A session! This thread was mentioned and it will be looked into: https://www.youtube.com/live/XorXLuKl2KE?feature=shared&t=1202 I have a question regarding Liberapay. I'm donating to ubports-foundation: https://liberapay.com/ubports-foundation/ But there also is UBports, which is a team ubports-foundation is a part of: https://liberapay.com/UBports/ What's the difference between them? Perhaps UBports was created first and, when the foundation was established some years later, a new account was created? Should we donate to ubports-foundation? The PayPal, Liberapay and Patreon images on the donate page do nothing when clicked: https://ubports.com/donate

Wow, thanks a lot for the quick help! The merge request is up now.

@stanwood said in Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-10: So, how will the update be rolled out to users on the stable channel? (OTA-9). Will they first receive the update to 20.04 OTA-10, then immediately afterwards the update to 24.04-1.0? Or will they have the choice between the 20.04 OTA update and the 24.04-1.0 update? I must admit that I myself am a bit lost in all this 20.04 OTA-9 users will first receive 20.04 OTA-10 as an usual update. After that, they'll be offered an upgrade to 24.04-1.0. Users can choose whether to upgrade or not. I'll try to make this more clear in our release announcement blog.

@MrT10001 I genuinely cannot believe that fixed it, thank you! It cruised through the process this time, and UT is now installed

@Technotramp If by using the Ubports installer does not continue to change it to fastboot, you must do it manually, without disconnecting the cable being careful is to press power and volume down until the ubports installer continues its installation, this is a common problem in the Ubports installer Regards...

Hi Tim, How much experience do you have? If this is your first time porting to a device, then I would suggest to begin using halium-13 first. I work on my first port (another Lenovo tablet), too, and it took me a long time to just get the kernel booting. The Andorid version begins to matter when the device boots so far that you can ssh into it. At that point you can worry about integrating halium 14. On the other hand, if you are experienced with porting then follow the advice to ask on the telegram channel how to base your port on halium 14 from the beginning. Kai

To clarify a bit, you cannot unlock the bootloader in UT, because you cannot lock the bootloader when running UT. We do not have signed kernels and system image for verified boot, and on some devices the OS image had to be placed on userdata due to size constraints of the system partition. There is also no adb as UT is not Android, so no "USB Debugging" options. What exactly is the issue you are having that someone told you that you need to do these things?

@musicologist you can also try MirVNCServer App, connect with vnc client from PC and record it there. But I am not sure about audio...

@Keneda There might be a plugin issue but I stress might as I cannot see any reports of other issues. Will find out who looks after mollie payments and let you know. Might be worth another try.

@kugiigi Thaaaanks!!! The reset button in the tweak tool did the trick. I did change the edge sensitivity when I was docked so maybe I accidentally change some scaling too.

Well that was a special level of hell... But, just as OP stated, using opodecrypt worked. For those with a Metro N100, you can just use this to flash to the global firmware. It is already patched: https://mega.nz/file/8fhxkQoR#Yt1ZFJMXsY-wuQIhQ7ar8M_E6PN6wB9NixdPYtWzCQA If you are using a T-mobile N100, you will still need to follow the guide here if it is still locked (T-mobile unlocked devices if requested at the time): The AT&T N100 (very hard to find) came unlocked and is the global model. https://xdaforums.com/t/flash-global-rom-to-tmobile-metro-w-locked-bootloader.4387517/ You do not need to contact OnePlus for an unlock pin. Converting to the global firmware will allow you to unlock the device. You do have to use the patched msmDownloadtool to do it, or patch it yourself as described above Once you have it flashed to global, unlock the bootloader, then on reboot enable developer options and use the UT installer. I set the options to repartition as OP did, and it failed. Retried without the partitions option and it worked - with the caveat that I had to run the installer multiple times because the connection to the server kept dropping. That might not happen to you. Also, the UT installer will error out with a message about setting slot A or B, and an error about the filesystem - hit ignore both times and it will still flash the device. Once again, it may take multiple tries to achieve success. But, when it boots, everything works, except VoLTE which I am troubleshooting. Also, it does not work with a Verizon sim out of the box, but does with T-mobile.

@oli.sax I asked regarding this in the "UBports Welcome & Install help [English]" Telegram channel back in April. Someone responded "oh crap i forgot to fix that". I did not follow up as it was not that important to me.

Welcome! If you're interested in using Ubuntu Touch, I'd say the best bet is to read around the forums a bunch to see if Ubuntu Touch will fit your needs, and if so which device from the Devices list will suit your needs and try to find one that's available and affordable where you are.

Today I found that someone has a similar problem with the Volla Phone 22 : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10983/volla-phone-22-very-laggy-performance/5?_=1756284607730 . Maybe both problems are caused by the same thing.
