        @atomos could the issue on mine might be that I have to roll back to android 9 before trying the steps?

        For example should I be rolling back to 9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.009, Aug 2018) from https://developers.google.com/android/images ?

              Just ran into an issue rolling back. Will have to pick this test up later this week. Thanks for everyone's help.

                @maurice Its really strange but it could be your USB cable, or try different port on your host. Definitely this is an error related to the ADB protocol. So it looses connection to your device from time to time.

                You can try yourself, push a bigger file into /data (few hundred megs) like: adb push xy.tgz /data and see if that goes through.

                Note that this has nothing to do with clearing partitions. You can also try an older TWRP version. We might also be able to use the UBports recovery, let me try to build that tonight.

                    @atomos You can use Googleยดs vendor partition but I found some things wont work with it. Might have problems with sensors, GPS, Camera. But give it a try.

                        @atomos No you probably need to do this in recovery. The partition is mounted as bind-mount, not easy to set readable....

                          @flohack just tried adb push using TWRP 3.2.3.0, seems that the push is failing around 100mb.

                              Did some more tests. Was looking at the wrong string, it looks like adb push does work.

                              I also tried to use the install script without the password and user parameters which allows the system image to push, but it fails pushing the rootfs :

                              ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ sudo ./halium-install-standalone.sh ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img

                                    @Flohack @atomos SUCCESS!

                                    After trying multiple times using the Macbook air ports. I tried a different setup. Used an external USB/USB C dock (Dell Universal Dock D6000) with a USB C to USB C cable connected to the phone.

                                    So Macbook Air (2013) -> Dell Universal Dock -> Pixel 2 XL.

                                    And when trying the script it finally worked!

                                    ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img

                                    Now on to testing capabilities. Thanks for all your help and input. @Flohack recommendation to try different host ports helped!

                                            @atomos Is the modification adding files or replacing them? Because with a replace I will have a hard time. Ofc I can add files if they are needed, or merge configs etc ๐Ÿ˜‰
