Ubuntu Touch cannot be installed

xCleaner15

I've been trying to install Ubuntu for several days now but somehow it doesn't work, the other operating system can be installed.

worked
Droidian Phosh

don't work
Droidian Cutie Shell ( Display not configured correctly, everything feels like it's 800 instead of 100 and no settings can be opened)

Ubuntu Touch
20.04/stable and 16.04/stable

The device I use is a Google Pixel A3 XL
the program to install with the version ( UBports installer (0.10.0 ) )
with Ubuntu Touch it downloads the things but as soon as the operating system wants to start you automatically go back to the Fast Food Manager and the operating system doesn't start at all and only the one debian operating system.

Of course, all the requirements are already configured so that the bootloader is unlocked, otherwise I wouldn't be able to install the Debian operating system.

@xCleaner15 You need to have the specific version of Android installed:

Make sure to revert to factory image PQ3B.190801.002 before continuing:

Here.

You also need to disable some things:

See Here

I have used Chrome (not Chromium) Browser and the Android recovery tool on Windows 10/11 . It works every time to install the required ROM.

Then using UT installer, I get UT working every time - Pixel 3a and 3a/XL.

Unfortunately there is a small problem: the Android operating system is no longer available because it was already replaced with this Debian operating system, but I wanted to install the Ubuntu operating system and it didn't work.

The instructions don't really help me much if I just get error messages!

It didn't work because reverting to the stock rom is a requirement, as stated on the device page. Follow the instructions and I'm sure you'll be successful.

@xCleaner15 Use the Android recovery tool in Chrome. Download the version of Android mentioned and using it, follow the on screen instructions to install the ROM to the device. You will need to boot to fastboot and don't complicate things by trying everything in the CLI, the easiest method is to use Chrome browser and the recovery tool.
Make sure you follow the instructions in the other thread or it may hang at the Google logo.

Once the correct version of Android is installed, then run the UT installer to install UT.

Again it complicates things if you try to install UT from the CLI., especially if you have not installed it before.

I'm sorry that half of it suits me, unfortunately it doesn't help because the whole thing is relatively new territory for me.

If you mean the Google sample tool with which you can also install Chromos, I can tell you that it doesn't work. Even now when I search for an Android recovery tool, it doesn't exist for me or it's not available for my country

If that's the program you mean to restore the operating system, it's integrated into Google Chrome and select the pixel device there, it doesn't find the device

@xCleaner15 Sorry, my bad, I meant Android Flash Tool..... Get it here:

Here

Looks like this:

Instructions

@xCleaner15

Download the file to your PC. In the find a build to flash navigate to your downloaded file.

Then follow the instructions.

xCleaner15

I don't know what to do next because there is no flash file included, as I said, the whole thing is new territory for me

MrT10001

@xCleaner15 Ok, then in the Chrome browser and the Pixel 3A XL download screen instead of Downloading the file, click on the Flash file and follow the instructions. This will do things in the same way, but ensure you disable the things in the linked thread.

If you can install Phosh, installing stock Android should be a walk in the park, i.e. easy to do.

xCleaner15

Is this the correct Android version of the file you downloaded? I can't use the Chrome browser. I have to download the file via the Chrome browser first and then I can use it. But this time it's the correct Android version. I hope it works

It now worked. I was now able to successfully install Ubuntu Touch. I'm already in the process of doing the basic configuration and have already set up the device
