Hello.
Could you detail a little bit the path do do this? -
@Vlad-Nirky im not sure what you mean you need to downgrade to the appropriate android version for your device then get the ubuntu touch install files extract it and you gonna hold on my phone volume and up then it will enter fast boot mode then your gonna flash the same files usually the same name as the partion something like this fastboot flash boot boot.img && fastboot flash recovery recovery.img && fastboot flash system system.img && fastboot flash userdata userdata.img .......if you dont know about adb or fastboot you will need to look those up first and have a tiny bit of comfortability in a terminal ...but its pretty easy
-
@developerbayman this thread is for people located in countries where due to government restrictions or other censorship, the Ubuntu Touch servers are blocked at least some of the time.
-
@projectmoon yes people in those situations should obtain their images another way like the gitlab or whever they keep their specific image ,....its gotta all be manual
-
@developerbayman i know it is dangerous to talk in behalf of others, but from my understanding the normal "users" are looking for a easy understandable no techy solution for installing ubuntu touch locally without any knowledge of terminal commands. either a good instructed guide, either a ubports kinda installer that manages to make grandma install ubuntu touch locally during her process of making her Russian salad for the family dinner.
to add, this seems to become more and more relevant due restrictions and rules that are slowly being pushed by our gouverments worldwide.

@nbdynl You are not wrong in the sense that governments are less and less fond of alternative ROMs over which they do not have control of the data. And I think in fact that we should not count on laws to help their development and expansion, rather to put the brakes on it. You will have to be more and more clever
-
what doesnt someone simply host a repo for all the images IN russia and fork the installer??
-
host you could use google drive or whatever is allowed in your country
