Call for testing: Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0
-
Update 30 September 2025: after debugging, we've decided that it's likely that the report where some devices fail to boot after installing Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 RC 2 is likely a false positive. As such, it's been decided to go ahead with the release of 24.04-1.0.
Which means that Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.0 is now released.

Thank you for everyone involved in testing.

This is the first stable release for 24.04, if I understand correctly ?It's known that fingerprint sensor on Fairphone 5 does not always work.
Well, there even is a "sensorgate" as this capricious sensor can cause the device to brick after android 15 update if it dies !
Thanks to you and all the Devs involved in releasing this great OS to the people

I want to give a big thanks to all those that make Ubuntu Touch possible.
-
Yesterday I received the update. After restarting, the phone gets stuck on the startup screen (Android logo). What can I do? Thanks.

How long did you wait? First boot after upgrading can take considerable time.
Is currently using an Op5t
Also owns an Op1, a BQ E4.5 and an Xperia X, as well as a BQ tablet and a Pinetab2. Please, someone... make it stop. -
@ma You could try installing via the installer.
-
@Moem True. I found it can take several minutes on logo screen. So give it ten minutes.
-
@danfro After a long wait, the Ubuntu Touch boot screen appeared yesterday, followed by the unlock screen. However, the phone could not be unlocked. So, I restarted it by pressing the power button. Then the Android screen appeared, and I waited for about 8 hours.
When I press the power button again and restart the phone, it remains stuck on the Android screen without any changes.

Hopefully, we will still get the separate announcement/post about the long wait after the upgrade so that less people will be confused
-
@kugiigi I posted some messages in our main groups. Not sure if an official announcment will be made
-
@ma so if you saw the unlock screen, it kind did install. But obviously something went wrong. I haven't heard of such a case before.
I suggest using the installer and reinstall. Do NOT tick wipe, that will keep all your data.
-
@danfro I was finally able to install the update using the Ubports Installer. However, I also received a message here that an error occurred. I chose the "Ignore" option, and the update was installed—hopefully without errors.
Thank you for your support!

@ma Glad it worked so far. But might be worth giving information about that behaviour and the error message to the porter(s) of your device. Sometjing may need fixing.
