NEXUS 6P With Lineage-15.1-20201007

Hello all,
I have a Nexus 6p with Lineage 15.1, I would like to install Ubuntu on it, it says on the UbPorts installer "Reset your android 7.12. Critical vendor files ...."
I tried to install the official 6p ROM, but it doesn't want to install. Only lineage work, with ADB Sideload .... I tried to install Ubuntu with lineage 15.1 instead of Android 7.1.2 (with my Ubuntu computer) but the OS blocked on the 'Ubuntu Recovery' page... Can someone help me please?

@Libanux Do you know how to use TWRP? If you put the phone in recovery, you can use TWRP to format partitions and then flash the 7.1.2 factory image using that and fastboot.

@Libanux Had that happen. The N6P has weird hang ups sometimes. Try switching to 4 core TWRP. It cleared the error and allowed my to re-install factory

There is also always the wonkiness of adb and fastboot, trying a different usb cable or another computer is sometimes a good bet.
