        I'm using UBports to flash the volla tablet to android, because I bought the UT version and I don't like it.

        I enabled dev mode in UT, and my PC connects to the Volla Tablet through UBports. But once it tries to reboot the tablet into bootloader, the screen goes black and nothing more happens. When I eventually turn the tablet back on, it boots and UBports goes to "Settings slots..." but at that time, the process is broken.

        It happens on several PCs and I have tried different cables. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

          I am only reposting information. I don't own a Volla phone so I have never tested any of this myself.

            To enter Fastboot, one has to pus Volume UP and hold it, then power on the device while pressing volume up until the bootmenu appears.

            UBports is buggy at this step IMO, but once you enter fastboot manually the flashing begins. Only after the tablet is in fastboot does UBports tell you how to activate it.

            So for anyone reading this in the future, download UBports, enable Developer mode on the tablet (Ubuntu Touch doesn't have OEM locking), connect, then when the tablet shuts down, boot into fastboot and it should continue.
