        @flohack I dusted off my old pixel 2 and gave it a try. After reverting to android 9, I tried the installer from the command line with the new config file. That seemed to work well, going through all of the prompts. Once finished, I got the UB ports avatar and a message stating it was updating. Once finished, it rebooted and got stuck on the Google logo. I let it hang for about 10 minutes and tried two more times with fresh wipes. No luck.

          @ljrichards1066 Alright can you please let it get stuck on the Google screen, and then try either telnet 192.168.2.15 or ssh phablet@10.15.19.82 ? THanks!

            @flohack I tried both commands. Both hang without resolution.

              Alright, I will think about a debug possibility...

              What Android was installed before?

                @flohack I had a lineage build based on Android 9 on it. When I get off work today, I can try it from stock android 9 and see if the results are better.

                  @ljrichards1066 It should not matter actually. Are you familiar with fastboot and adb? I have some manual debug steps

                    @flohack I've got a working knowledge of it from messing around with rooting and Android roms. I'd certainly be willing to try. πŸ‘

                      @Flohack I'm able to reproduce what @ljrichards1066 is saying with getting stuck on the Google logo. On first boot I had a ubports "installing update" screen and then it rebooted into this state.

                      Also have no network connectivity to it, but I'm comfortable with the CLI I'll assist in debugging as needed πŸ™‚

                      EDIT: FYI I flashed build PQ3A.190801.002 for walleye first, as instructed by the installer.

                        Ok guys can you try the following:

                        • Let it boot & fail
                        • Long-press Vol-Down & Power to enter fastboot
                        • select Recovery with up/down-key and power
                        • Let it boot into recovery and execute the following command on your host: adb pull /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops

                        Post this file to a pastebin and ping me back πŸ˜‰

                          @flohack Unfortunately, I don't have /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops. The pstore directory is empty πŸ˜•

                          These were the logs I found, listed in the recovery, however:
                          last_kmsg
                          recovery.log
                          system-image-upgrader.log
                          ubuntu_updater.log

                          In addition, rebooting into the recovery is extremely finicky. I had to re-flash the recovery to get in one time, and after the next install I rebooted into it successfully. I'll see if I can reproduce and get the error from the bootloader again.

                            @agates Wait a second how did you flash recovery? The device should not even have a recovery partition...

                              @agates can you boot into recovery (Is it UBports recovery at least?) and then adb shell into it. Can you:

                              • mount /system_root
                              • ls -la /system_root, it should have a typical Linux appearance
                              • ls -la /system_root/var/lib/lxc/android, it should show android-rootfs.img

                                @flohack Apologies, I'm likely using the wrong term. I used the first part of the ubports installer to install the bootloader etc then quit.

                                However i was able to reproduce the same behavior without having to do that, also.

                                    Not quite sure what you mean: Did you run the installer at least one time through, with the "Bootstrap" option checked?

                                      @flohack Yes. Sometimes rebooting into the ubports recovery during this troubleshooting results in a bootloader error, however. I've yet to reproduce it to get the error message to see if it's relevant.

                                      I followed the installation instructions, I promise πŸ™‚

                                          @flohack Just went to try and finally got the boot error I mentioned

                                          Will reinstall and try again.

                                          ERROR: Slot Unbootable: Load Error

                                            @agates Well you might get slot unbootable every 3 unsuccessful boots. Please issue fastboot --set-active=(a or b depending on whats active when you installed)
                                            Unless UT would boot correctly this will bite you from time to time
