        After getting advice from @lionelb on https://t.me/WelcomePlus, I'll try taking the phone apart and cleaning the contacts. 💡

        How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

          Are there certain packages (like adb, etc?) that I must have installed on my PC first before running the installer?

            Hi @lionelb.

            You mentioned these in our Telegram chat:

            • enable developer options
            • unlock oem
            • allow debugging
            • set to MTP mode

            Are those 4 things to be done on my FP2? Any of those items apply to my Desktop PC?

            Thanks.

              @opolork Those will be on the phone. Also if you are after Lionelb the best place is the install Telegram group.

                Here's a screenshot from that Telegram conversation from a few days ago.

                  @lakotaubp I don't need to install adb or any other package on my Desktop PC?

                    @lakotaubp Thanks. I will make a note of those items for future reference when installing/reinstalling again. I find tech support on Telegram to very awkward compared to opening a thread.

                      @opolork fasboot and adb. If using windows 15 sec adb from xda developers works best.

                        I've install adb & fasboot on my Desktop PC. I cannot get into UT on my FP2 to enable dev mode (I presume it's disabled). I can't continue with the installer. I don't what to do next. ❓

                          Should the FP2 be mounted on my Desktop PC file manager?

                          Here's a screengrab of the current state of the installer:

                              Under Ubuntu actions in recover mode, there's these options:

                              • Replace ubuntu android system
                              • Install ubuntu zip
                              • Install ubuntu preinstalled
                              • Wipe data/factory reset

                              Am I left with only those options now?

                                Kudos to Tobiyo Kuujikai (@Fuseteam) on UBports Welcome & Install (https://t.me/WelcomePlus) for helping me solve this.

                                • The phone was stuck at the boot splash.
                                • Get to recovery mode and then run the installer.
                                • The installer says 'Cleaning up' , 'Erasing cache partition'.
                                • Put it back in recovery mode.
                                • Click continue on installer.

                                🙂
