      I'm still assuming you have the Original generation Pinephone.

      The Pinephone is not like the Android phones and does NOT use the installer. Check the info here: https://gitlab.com/ubports/community-ports/pinephone

          @hexis In the post above yours mark1250 told you the installer will not work. He also linked to the method you need to use to get Ubuntu Touch on the Pinephone.

            @hexis Yes forget the installer. IIRC you need jumpdrive on an sd card and download the UT OS from gitlab onto your pc and use jumpdrive to install on the PInePhone. Having done this only once I'm not 100% on the detaials but they are all in the link @mark1250 posted.

                That is where Jumpdrive comes in.

                • Burn the jump drive image to an SD card.
                • Put it in your Pinephone and boot the phone.
                • Connect the Pinephone to your computer via USB.
                • Your computer should now show 2 external drives. - One is the SD card, and the other is the internal eMMC.
                • Burn the Ubuntu Touch image onto the internal eMMC using Etcher or dd.
                • Disconnect the PinePhone from your computer.
                • Power off the Pinephone.
                • Remove the SD card that has Jumpdrive on it.
                • Power on your Pinephone
                • Enjoy Ubuntu Touch.

                      Happy to hear you got it installed.

                      You should change the status of you post from unsolved to solved
