Is it possible to switch from LineageOS to Ubuntu Touch on the Nord N10 5G?
-
I installed LineageOS a while ago on the Nord N10 5G I have, but now I want to try to install Ubuntu Touch. The installer says I have to have the original OxygenOS though, and I can't figure out how to revert it since all of my devices run Linux, and AFAIK the OnePlus recovery tool only runs on Windows.
How do I proceed? Am I stuck?

You need a Windows 10, or 11 machine to run the MSM tool:
"The procedure requires a computer running Win10 or Win11. Using a virtualized Windows is impossible."
This is the porters notes here.
You have to install the stipulated Android version or things won't work and you could brick the device.

@MrT10001 I can't use a VM...darn. Is there another way to unbrick it?
-
@mafman97 You can install Windows to a USB thumb drive and run MSMtool from that
There is also a linux method somewhere in the OP 5 or 6 forums, but results are variable.
