Getting this and can no longer keep device updated...help please

Is this phone no longer workable? It's my daily driver . I just need a phone that works nothing fancy, Do I have to now consider moving to something like fair phone 3+ or voila phone...to have a device that is working ? I don't really want to send 2-300 euros on a phone I don't need.

I really don't care.. .I just want something that is going to be maintained ...even if I have to donate every month... !

Someone show some rays of hope please...

Is there a simple fix for the above.. command line or other..
The flashing of this phone is no longer possible as the mirrors are not being found...

I think the device page needs to be marked as no longer maintained... as it appears to be left in the dark!

Thanks in advance.
From and appreciative end user.

Maybe there was an issue at some point.
What is your current channel? Dev? RC?

A simple solution might be to switch to stable and then switch back to the previous channel.
If you cannot switch channel, you might want to try to run the UBPorts installer (without wiping the data) to fix your installation and update to the latests stable (recommended for simple users)

I see in your screenshot that error says phone lacks folder android/cache/recovery, did you look for this folder, if not there, did you try to recreate it ?

I checked my phone it is there with 3 files in it, "last_install", "last_log_r" and "log".

@keneda I have the same problem, from the UBports installer I can not make new installation, I think that when I update the phone via OTA to RC will happen again.
The UBports installer should create that folder if it does not exist, how can we create it manually ?

On Note 9 pro,

On a booting phone with UT, with file manager, maybe after making system r/w temporarily.
Or by command line.

On a non-booting UT phone, i can't tell.
