@Luksus said: there is ongoing work, to work around this issue for such devices. Good to hear it's being worked on. Does that by any chance include the Oneplus 5t?

Not 100% the same isue, but some overlap: We used Lebara for a while (2x Android, 1x UT). The main reason we left was their inability to deliver text messages no matter the handset. Sometimes hours, sometimes days would elapse. This made it impossible to make any online purchases or log into internet banking when you have 30 seconds to enter a 2FA code sent by text. Also as they use thw Vodaphone network, reception is rubbish in out area. We switched to 1p mobile who are equally as cheap, but use the O2 network so have much better coverage, and also don't sit on texts for hours, they arrive quickly now.

Update 30 June 2026: we've decided to postpone the release of Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 by 1 more week due to a number of important fixes missing their deadline. The new release date is set to be 20 July 2026. So, instead of a Release Candidate image, today we've published 24.04-2.0 Beta 2 which contains a number of improvements and fixes since the last Beta. We hope to be able to have a Release Candidate image next week. Notable changes Following devices can now receive Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 Beta 2: Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 JingPad A1 OnePlus Nord N10 5G OnePlus Nord N100 Xiaomi Redmi 9 and 9 Prime Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Additional devices receive notch position configurations, including all Volla devices and a few Xiaomi devices. Fixed the problem where the top panel gets confused about whether it has to avoid notches or not when the screen is rotated using the floating rotate button. Improved support for legacy (X11-based) applications significantly by backporting changes from Mir 2. Widevine installer is now fully functional. If you're dependent on DRM-protected contents, Morph Browser could be used to watch such contents. Morph Browser can now get access to location. Screenshot editor no longer obscures notifications. Notable known issues While Widevine could be installed, some sites (e.g. Netflix) might impose further restrictions on what browser it supports. Video recording and media playback in most applications (except browsers) might be broken due to some cache not clearing up. As a workaround, the following command could be run to remove such cache: rm -v ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.* Followed by a reboot. A fix is being developed. (lomiri-camera-app#221). Morph Browser may show black screen after it's switched to background and back. Scrolling will allow webpage to display again. (qt6-webengine#2) Some keyboard layouts are displayed incorrectly by overflowing to the left and right edges of the screen. (lomiri-keyboard#214) Morph Browser may show black screen after it's switched to background and back. Scrolling will allow webpage to display again. (qt6-webengine#2) Hardware video decoding in the updated Morph Browser is not working. Video playback still work, but will be done in software, increasing power usage (qt6-webengine#1). Morph Browser's new tab page is not fully functional. In particular, it doesn't show bookmarked sites correctly (morph-browser#624) Notch avoidance does not work yet on landscape mode. We're still working on issue with mouse position on built-in screen affecting the trackpad on Volla Tablet's keyboard cover. As such, Volla Tablet will not receive 24.04-2.0 Beta at this time.

@myeager67 Problem here is not the edl cable, it's the files needed for flashing in edl mode, that Qualcomm, if I understood correctly, don't want Fairphone to give to end users. Also, not answering to you here, Fairphone no longer provides motherboard as part end user can purchase like they did for some previous Fairphones, because it is no longer allowed by law in UE as it is tied to IMEI (I red that somewhere on Fairphone forum), only repair service can.

This is great news, I'll test new halium on my Pixel 3a when I'm back from holiday!
