          When I start the smartphone after installing Android 9 with Flashtool in Chrome, I see the screen of the first picture of this thread and than the white google-screen which stays and crashes.

          How I said I need Android 9 to install ubuntu touch on the smartphone.

          Did I use a wrong build which does not work on this phone or do I have to do something before starting Android 9 on the smartphone?

            @stefancito70 Power off the device than boot into Fastboot mode.

            In fastboot, attach the device to your PC.

            In the fastboot terminal of your PC run the command:

            ./fastboot getvar current-slot

            This should show you which slot is active - there are two slots A and B

            If Slot A is active, change it to Slot B:

            ./fastboot --set-active=b

            Reboot and see if your phone boots.

                @stefancito70 Usually you open up a terminal in your folder were fastboot and ADB is situated. I use Windows :anxious_face_with_sweat: ,and I have Android Studio installed, so open a terminal in the platform-tools folder.

                  @MrT10001 After solving the problem to find the path for fastboot (/usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools) it worked like you described. But the slot B was already active.

                  Additional information: At this search I found out, that ADB was not installed and so I installed it.

                  Thanks a lot

                    @stefancito70 If slot B is active, change it to slot A.

                    If booting after changing the Slot, boot into recovery and wipe the cache and reboot.

                      What shall I do now? (I ask because the last time I tried something in the advanced options I could never enter again to this mode)

                        @stefancito70 That means your Android installation is on the other slot, but hasn't installed correctly. You may have to try again.

                          @MrT10001 I installed Android again with google flash tool and now it works! (Perhaps because now ADB is installed on my PC)
                          Thank you very much for your help!!!
                          Tomorrow I try to install ubuntu touch again, hopefully without any problem 🙂
                          Have a nice evening,
                          Best wishes
                          Stefan
