We don't care what AI says. I advise you to do what the device page and the installer say. The device page for your device should tell you what needs to be installed on your device prior to installation of UT, and usually that's a stock version of Android.
I must say your question is not completely clear to me. What do you have installed, and what do you wantto install?

Please from now don't use old threads, moreover from another device, to ask support, it will complicate searching infos for other users of this device doing so.
Only for the same device and issue you can do this (so all Infos for that issue/device are in the same place to find).

@vverve If you can still access any recovery and have fastboot available, go to google factory images and flash stock android to both slots. The web installer may not work in this situation. So, you may have to flash manually.
For UT flash what the devices page says. I think Mobian requires the last stable android. But verify first.

Well , it was half on the topic .@Moem said in Pixel 3a how to migrate from UT to droidian or mobian ?:

Goal is retry to install mobian , already tried , failed . Now that i know the device got a samsung display , making one potential source of my fails out , i'll try again ( yes , not knowing display type ,did the sdc install , failed,redo android 12 ,then tianma install , same problem .)

-Gg web factory installer never worked anyhow for me , may me internet connection be a little too slow, or all linux chrome/mium versions i've tried failed at it .
-AI could be dum , i agree , this old install ''guide'' https://github.com/junocomp/linux-pixel-3a
does suggest to flash both slot .Hmmm , i am just asking , as i havent even yet learn the ssh basics needed to debug the failed mobian install stuck out of graphic display .Modern phones seem ''unbrickable'' , some say,
just dont wont to be the user confirming it can be !!!Out if topic notes ;
As of now pixel 3a xl is on droidian now ,102 halium9 , downloaded from ubports installer(install with it failed..) , but manualy installing did it . May i stay with droidian some more , learn some more before going back to mobian , droidian now got a forum , no offense to masto/telegram/matrix lovers , but if dealing with forum posts/subjets/devices is one task,
hat's up to managing those same in centralised or not communication options , my humble opinion , or its a privacy mater choices ?!? dont worry , the simple end user i am is way far from posting reverse engineering secrets..........way way far .
Make me thank you for the forum by the way !If i succeed with mobian install , got volte out of it , i'll share it somewhere .
UT on oneplus n10 24.04-2.x my daily .
Best whishes to all for the next year .
