      @sann Try using an older version of the installer. It seems that 0.8.8 is working well for many people.
      Get it here: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.8.8-beta

      Is currently using an Op5t
      Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop.

        @moem It really works with the 0.8.8 beta installer. I successfully finish installing the Ubuntu touch on the Xiaomi Mi A2 device. Thank you so much.

            Can you post here how you installed the 0.8.8. version of ubports-installer via snap?

            I am unable to figure out what options to give to snap to precisely install the 0.8.8 version.

            Many thanks in advance!

              @anandandlavie You should just be able to download the installer using the link and install it as normal https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.8.8-beta Are you having issues with the link?

                @lakotaubp thank you for your message. I downloaded the linked file " ubports-installer_0.8.8-beta_linux_amd64.deb" and tried to install it on my linux machine with the command:

                sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/ubports-installer_0.8.8-beta_linux_amd64.deb

                and it gave me the following error:

                I am not sure what dependency problems were encountered during the installation (see above). If you may be able to help with this that would be very appreciated!

                Many thanks!

                  Nevermind... I just ran "sudo apt-get install -f" without any package info after the error came up and it resolved the dependencies and installed the dependencies and ubports-installer 0.8.8.

                  However I am still not sure why it would resolve itself by running apt-get install -f without any packages. Experienced people's linux insight would be appreciated.

                  Many thanks!

                    @anandandlavie Sorry for late reply. I have only ever install the installer using the standard download and have had no issue there. For the rest you will need someone with a much better knowledge of these things than me.

                        I had similar experience on my Ubuntu. Additionally I saw fastboot crashing with message "press any key to shutdown".
                        On some other thread (which I will also look to comment) I saw suggestions about USB port. Changing of port on my laptop did not work as I have only usb 3.0 but I tried to use other laptop (Mac, with installer suggested by @Moem ), and it worked !
