USB cable, if that was the case, when installing, i guess it decompress the files. If they were corrupted, it will not work.

yet what you described was exactly this happening: installing did go to the finish without reporting an error, but wifi was not working; and after retrying, wifi and cellular happened to work.

@gpatel-fr flow:

installed UT over android 15 (my mistake)
reflash the android 13 from Fairphone 5
reinstall UT (2 or 3 retries)
wifi and BT and mobile operator now works

Just made the "search for updated && made the update".
Problems remains.

The point is that it is not normal to retry an installation. If your hardware is good, it should work the first time or never.

@Kadafi Can you open the Terminal app and post the result of:

ls -lh $HOME

Kadafi

@arubislander sure:

@arubislander do you know how to use the cursor keys in the terminal? These command keys do not appear in the virtual keyboard. Thank you.

gpatel-fr

@Kadafi

cursor keys:

option 1: use the hamburger menu and select scr, then scroll to the right you'll find arrows
option 2: touch the screen, press and move gently your finger right/left

arubislander

@Kadafi OK, so it doesn't seem to be a case of wrong permissions for the Picture folder itself. Could you also do a:

ls -lh ~/Pictures/

and in e again post the results?

Kadafi

@arubislander
Here it is:

arubislander

@Kadafi how can your Screenshot folder be from the future?

Kadafi

@arubislander no ideia! It is what appears! I checked the data in the phone and it is the correct one.

arubislander

@Kadafi that is all very strange.

Is it worth considering starting again?

Installing the correct Fairphone Andriod version listed on the ubuntu-touch website and following the install procedures for 24.04 stable?

I have none of the issue you mentioned in your multiple threads with my fp5.
The only outstanding issue is the fingerprint reader for me at the moment on stable.

Kadafi

@sixwheeledbeast since i stop using windows, i tend not to follow the path of "reformat and reinstall". Also, i had already an updated and that should also had overwrite the original install. Also, on the first time, i did reinstall 3 times (no cable issues and no hardware issues).

@Kadafi

since a doubt has been expressed on the Android version, could you give us the return in the terminal of

getprop | grep vndk

to see what's the previous Android version ?

sixwheeledbeast

How is not using Windows relevant to the suggestion to start again?
You're have plenty of issues that no-one else is experiencing, I'd say it's a sensible first step.
If something was borked during installation or you had the wrong Android version then the UT installed on top of that, may not function correctly.

Kadafi

@gpatel-fr Shows:

[ro.vmdk.version]: [30]

But i install the Fairphone restore of the android 13, before retrying to install the UT.

Kadafi

@sixwheeledbeast reformatting like windows style is not a good path. Also, getting a friendly support like "only happens to you" from a software on which i have absolute no control is also a bad path to follow. Also, "you have a failure hardware" or "usb cable is broken" is also not a good sign.

UBports is suppose to handle all by itself. Did not for 3 times. I reinstalled FP android 13 and tried again.

I do not understand how so many bugs are related to a wrong installation made by UBports (not me).
All appear to be standard software bugs but okay.
I will repeat the FP android 13 recovery and repeat the UBports installation. But i am already loosing the hope on using UT. Simple, it does not work.

Also, why can't i install Firefox? Due to the kernel version of UT?
I understand the efforts the people is making but if it does not work... does not work. I already spent money buying a FP5. It starts to appear to be a bad investment.

I politely disagree. On UT, reflashing without wiping your user data can fix many problems.

you mean that i should just re-flash UT, not re-flashing android 13 from FP5 and then again UT?
