            @domubpkm I don't know about windows netbooks but maybe you can install adb in it?

              @advocatux It's can wait.. It's not fully vital. It's not my main phone. My main phone has Vidid 15.04 r3 for the moment.. Because it's a real lack for me (and others maybe) not to have a fully operational dekko : I'm conscious of the big efforts of the developpers on dekko.

                @domubpkm I'm reading the fresh bug report now (https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/821). Maybe you can try that workaround that works in FP2 at least, before doing anything else

                    @killerbee yeah, it seems the workaround doesn't work for Pro 5, Arale, and Frieza (those are the devices reported for now).

                              @advocatux I don't now if i said something unrealistic or infeasible : i don't think there is a command prompt, something similar as TERMINAL in UBPORTS RECOVERY. Isn't it ? If the system freeze, don't you think it would be a good idea to be able to lauch commands lines so as to unfreeze a phone without another computer ? Or to have a mechanism to change the channel (in this case devel to rc ?). If it is stupid idea, sorry....

                                @domubpkm no, there isn't.

                                It's not an stupid idea at all but I don't have the technical knowledge about how recovery works in detail, maybe someone with that sort of expertise will reply later.

                                Off the top of my head, the first problem I see is the (possible) lack of space, but on the other hand I've seen custom android recoveries with much more tools than stock android recoveries, so...

                                Edit: thinking a bit more about it, the main problem is how to have a keyboard on-screen for input. It would has to be a list of pre-formatted commands or something like that

                                  Just to clarify etc on getting round this issue.
                                  1 Stay on RC or don't update your dev device with todays update, or revert to RC in system settings.
                                  2 Wait till next dev update is released with issue fixed.
                                  3 Update to that and all should be ok.
                                  Is this correct

                                    @lakotaubp going to RC is the fastest and easier way to have a running device again, and keep it on the save side.

                                    If whoever is hit by this issue want to run a lower devel version, that's feasible too but I think the RC way is more user friendly for now.

                                    Edit: I forgot to say yes, that's correct πŸ™‚

                                      Some people has asked me in private how to stay in the devel channel, so I think it's better if I post the command here πŸ™‚

                                      ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=codename --channel=ubports-touch/16.04/devel --revision=version_number

                                      • Change codename for the proper one for your device. See here https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ the codenames list
                                      • version_number means a version number that is not affected by this issue. See the latest good one (that's the previous version to the one affected) for your device here http://system-image.ubports.com/ubports-touch/16.04/devel/

                                      Edit: the issue has been fixed now (https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/821#issuecomment-413356669) so you can use the latest version_number.

                                              Hi all,
                                              I don't understand how to re-install another version... I don't think developer mode is enabled on my machine and I can't enable it any more due to the white screen of death we are seeing... so I can't see the solution?
                                              Thanks, Marc
