        I have two X23's and wanted to move one to Volla OS. I figured I would use the Ubuntu Touch installer and choose Volla OS. It gave me an "unknown error". I opened an issue on Github but no idea when this could be resolved. Other than the Ubuntu Touch Installer is there any other way I can move from Ubuntu Touch to Volla OS ?

        Volla X23 on 20.04

          @Simmonz Hi there, mate. Was the bootloader unlocked when you attempted the downgrade?

            More than likely not but that is looking like it's own issue. I tried unlocking it with the X23 in fastboot mode and plugging it into my pc and using terminal.

            here is the output from using the command "fastboot flashing unlock":

            fastboot flashing unlock
            FAILED (remote: 'Prohibit unlock operation
            ')
            fastboot: error: Command failed

            I also tried "fastboot oem unlock":

            fastboot oem unlock
            FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
            fastboot: error: Command failed

              @Simmonz If you are familiar with mtk client you can unlock the bootloader from there too since Volla devices have mediatek chipsets.

              May the source be with you

                @Simmonz Interesting. Have you tried contacting our Volla mates in their forum? There should be a more straightforward way of doing that. One of the benefits of such phones is that, since they have total control of the drivers, one can unlock the bootloader and lock it again after installing UT. Cheers.
