        I am not sure either... 😕

        I do see some errors related to partitions and mounting them : Perhaps that is the issue ?!

        My phones :

        • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
        • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x
        • Xiaomi Mi 9T - Jolla SailFish 3.4.x Community Build

        P.S. : I am NOT a developer! ;)

            You can try umount to unmount the partition and make sure it's not in use before flashing ?!

            That's all what I can think of for now...

            Good luck! 😉

              How can I go about doing this?
              Is this in twrp?
              Sorry, I'm new but willing to learn put in the effort!
              Thanks.

                Like I said earlier : TWRP Terminal

                And then regular Linux commands like umount :

                umount /data
                

                for example will make sure the DATA partition is no longer mounted!

                And something like this :

                mount /system-data/ /data
                

                Will mount it again as it was IIRC 🙂

                My phones :

                • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS
                • ZUK Z2 Pro - ZUI Android 8.x

                  I did the steps on twrp:

                  umount /data
                  

                  but now after mounting I get this error:

                  mount /system-data/ /data
                  mount: mounting /system-data/ on /data failed: No such file or directory

                    :grinning_squinting_face: You are not supposed to do both steps! 😉

                    Just the first one if you are having /DATA related errors!

                    But now that you did let me explain why the second one went wrong :
                    Because the directory /data does not exist 🙂

                    My phones :

                    • BQ Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Phone Edition - Ubuntu Touch 16.04 LTS

                      I ran the first step

                      umount /data
                      

                      before flashing Ubuntu Touch but still same error:

                      I don't why I get this error:

                      The device is clearly there:
