      Well that's great! I know I'm a little late to the party. But I am interested in giving this a shot. @Guf @tanevanwifferen, although, I have the h872 and I bet that this little difference makes it incompatable. Is this true?

        @Guf Would love to test it on my h870, do you need to have an unlock bootloader?

          Hello everyone ! I'm new to the UBPorts community, so i was about to get a new phone in the next days to run Ubuntu. But fortunately i've got a LG G6 at home ! But, the model version is H870s, so with no unlockable bootloader... I think it's a problem, right ?!
          Everyway, keep going on this port, LG G6 is an Amazing phone !

            I got the American version with a cracked screen but I’d be willing to contribute to the cause. It’s currently with Verizon locked. If I get it unlocked will I be able to test it on that? It’s got a cracked screen so the risk to reward ratio is favorable. I’ve never done this before so I have no clue how to start.

              I also have a US version (VS988), and am new here. I'm not sure if I can test this port on my phone, or if they're different enough it's going to have to be a different port.

                I have a US model LG G6 somewhere that my wife upgrade from recently, would love to help test. Only other phone I have that can boot Ubuntu is a Nexus 4 😞 Long time Patreon supporter :call_me_hand_light_skin_tone:

                  Hi, i've got an h870 model.
                  I've been trying to to put the image on my phone but i can't seem to pass the part with resize2fs from the halium-install script. Any help?
                  The error i keep getting is:
                  "Scanning inode table resize2fs: No space left on device while trying to resize system-20200326.img"

                    @MexHH Yep, you need to do it, with the following command:
                    fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin where unlock.bin is you unlocking file that you will be provided by requesting to http://mobile.developer.lge.com/

                      @fenskebawb Yep, it might have some little differences (that I am not able to test because I don't have that device). Anyway you can try to build it yourself and we will help you

                            @franky32 it might refer to local partition or device, because this step is to be performed on pc

                              @snappo Go and get it and build it yourself (I don't have the US model, but I am keen on helping you to test on you device and improve the over all LG G6 porting)

                                @Kaesar I don't know the details of specific differences, but I can help you porting your device and integrate changes to server

                                  @Guf i've managed to flash the images by skipping the image resizing πŸ™‚
                                  Now the issue is that the screen just flashes a couple of times and it doesn't do anything after.
                                  i can see the rndis_host getting setup with the ip but the actual link has an unknown state.
                                  maybe the rootfs i'm using isn't good?

                                        @franky32 the same happened to me.
                                        How did you solve this?

                                          @epvnn didn't solve it... I'm thinking about letting it go and just learn java so i can make androud apps instead πŸ˜„
                                          Was planning on using ubuntu on the phone to run python scripts...
                                          But it seems more hastle than it's worth...

                                            @epvnn i tried flashing lineageos first and afterwards "install" ubtouch... still no go.
                                            I keep getting the libgui.so library non-loading from what i could see in the logs.
