      My Volla 22 has now received version 13 (Halium 13?). However, I would now like to replace the Volla OS with Ubuntu Touch. Will this work with the Volla/Android version 13? Or how can I reset the phone to Volla OS 12? Factory reset didn't work. According to the instructions, Halium 12 is required for installation.

        Do you have any details? What happened?

        VollaPhone22 (dual-boot of VollaOS and UT 20.04 OTA-9), Pocophone F1 (pmOS, edge), FLX1 (Debian)

          @sven After the factory reset, the smartphone remains in Volla OS 13, i.e. Halium 13. There is no chance that I can get it to Volla OS 12 with on-board tools.

            @digi6622 Factory reset is generally wrongly named. It does not reset the device to the same settings it came with out of the factory. It just resets the current OS to the same state as a clean install. So the behavior you have observed is the expected behavior.

            The advantage of buying a device from a company that supports UT is that you can go to them for questions and support for getting UT on your device. I would encourage you to get in contact with Volla and make full use of your advantage.

              @arubislander Thank you for your suggestion.
              I would have thought there was a simple solution, such as uploading a stock rom to the device via adb.
              My problem is that I bought the smartphone second-hand and I don't have an invoice for it. Maybe Volla support can help me anyway.

                In that case, maybe the Volla Forums might also be a place to find help.
