        bolded textRe: Anyone tried installing another OS on a Ubuntu Touch X23

        Hi

        I have got following instructions on how to install Volla OS onto my Volla X23 phone which has installed by manufacturer Ubuntu Touch.

        Here it is
        https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ohEZOQpb0plpYZqh80TIVJIxdRwwol9T/view?usp=drivesdk

        But even though I was trying hard with available to me combinations of UBPorts installer (latest 0.11.2 and 0.10.0) and environment (Linux, Windows), despite that flashing was always failing with the same error "Partition does not exist".

        Here's screenshot

        If someone succeeded with that task, could you please share how. Or suggest me what I can try more?

        I should mention that I have flashed Ubuntu Touch back again without any problems after failed attempt to install Volla OS.

          I see many occurences of this kind of problem on the Github site, such as

          https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/2412

          the reference in this post is on this forum and then it goes to a blog post (here: https://rubencarneiro.github.io/rubencarneiro.io//Volla-phone-Repair/) that links itself to a Mediatek flash tool that is reported to work.

          It's complicated, however I can't directly help you I have a Fairphone myself. Good luck.

              I don't know if you noticed it, but a dev took interest in this problem and has prepared a change to the installer. This change was approved by a maintainer so there is a good chance it will find a way to a new release of the installer. If you want to test it immediately you will have to know how to compile stuff first 🙂

                Thank you, that worked well!
                You should just download the updated file and run
                ubports-installer -vv -f vidofnir_esim.yml
                in Linux
