        I just got hold of a FP4, and I wanted to install UT on it. I did all the unlock stuff, and ran the installer. It ended up with Success, but the phone just boots to the bootloader (Edit: first time it's to recovery). I can get it to recovery mode and I can start the Ubuntu version of fastbootd.
        Any clues or anything I can check?

        Regards

          I just reinstalled android 11 and it works just fine. After that, I tried to install UT again, but same issue. First reboot after install sends me to recovery - after that it's bootloader...
          Just installed Android 11 again-again. After that, it booted normally - asking for the pin? Seems like UBports-installer didn't overwrite the previous installation?

          Regards

            @Grisen did you check the box to wipe the data partition in the installer?

                I couldn't really leave it, so I just tried again, and now it worked?

                I did:

                Double Checked:

                Android is version 11 (Build fp4.fp4k.a.179.20230116

                $ fastboot flashing unlock
                FAILED (remote: ' Device already : unlocked!')
                fastboot: error: Command failed

                $ fastboot flashing unlock_critical
                FAILED (remote: ' Device already : unlocked!')
                fastboot: error: Command failed

                Checked All three boxes (Including User Wipe)...

                Maybe you were right, Luksus (and thanks!), that I somehow missed the first check box, but alas, I'm a happy camper..

                Regards
