Trouble Installing on Oneplus One (Solved)
-
@Edward-Wilhelm Can you try a few other usb cables. It seems the connection between you pc/laptop and device is not working somehow.
Before you do that. Stop the installer and with the device in fastboot mode type in a terminalFastboot devices
Is your device listed? If yes we need to look elsewhere if not that is the issue.
-
Also have a look here it was very similar to your issue https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4033/oneplus-one-installation-trouble/2
Are you using the snap version of the installer? AS you can see the progress of installing in the terminal as it runs. Might give you another clue. -

running "fastboot devices" gives:
no permissions (user in plugdev group; are your udev rules wrong?); see [http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html] fastboot
I could not get the snap version to run. It installed, but when I tried to run it, it said there was an error and that something must have gone wrong during the installation. I have since removed the snap version. I am now running the debian package version.
-
@Edward-Wilhelm Right, that's what needs fixing, fastboot has not the permission to access the device. Give me a minute to re-read through.
-
@Edward-Wilhelm Open a terminal and rerun the sudo apt update and sudo apt-get install commands from above again. When that's done in a terminal type sudo fastboot OEM unlock
Then try again. -
okay ran:
sudo apt update and sudo apt-get install commands from above again
then:
adb devices
List of devices attached- daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
- daemon started successfully
******** device
next ran sudo fastboot OEM unlock
it returned that it was waiting for any devicethen I ran the installer and it returned:
fastboot: usage: unknown command OEM -
Does anyone have a liveboot OS that has everything needed to run install out of the box?
-
@Edward-Wilhelm Sorry. Put your device in fastboot then run in terminal sudo fastboot oem unlock
-
@Lakotaubp
It still returned:
fastboot: usage: unknown command OEM -
@Edward-Wilhelm Have you tried a few usb cables and ports
-
And I guess fastboot devices still returns the same error as before.
-
what happens if you write oem instead of OEM?
-
@Rondarius
It returns:
< waiting for any device >and then waits for a response
-
@Lakotaubp
I have now tried two different cables in two different ports -
@Edward-Wilhelm What needs sorting is the udev rules. That link that came up after your error message shows you how. It's something I have never done I must admit.

Okay. My brother let me use his computer that is running pop os. I installed snap, fastboot, the ubuntu installer from within snap etc. I ran the installation on the phone and everything appeared to be working. It prompted me in the gui to run unblock oem which I did. The phone went through several different screens including loading 142 of something, and an android graphic that said erasing. It rebooted itself a couple times. The phone screen is now black, but a light on the front of the phone is flashing various colours. The installer says "flashing firmware...". It has been stuck like this for a while now. Do you think the installation process is working? How long should it stay like this? -
I rebooted the phone and it is now stuck on a screen saying
"powered by ubuntu
supported by ubports"
What do I do? -
If you guys could help me get this phone working I would be more than happy to make a donation and I would be ever grateful. I know that you all are not doing this to get rich. I have now spent many many hours trying to get this to work, and now I have nothing to show for this, except a broken phone.
-
@Edward-Wilhelm Looks like your getting somewhere at last. Let me catch up a bit and will see what we can do. Your nearly there now. Normally restarting the installer does the trick from here and choose the wipe option. As long as the installer is showing pushing files all is ok.If not just check adb devices still detects the device for me please.

@Lakotaubp
The device is no longer recognized by the computer.Also big thanks to @Lakotaubp and @Keneda for all the help so far. You have been awesome.
