Fastboot: booting...FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed)finished.
-
@advocatux no
-
@josepjc right, then let's see what the devs have to say
-
I can access to the recovery mode and I have a SD 2GB
-
When I put de SD I can't access to the recovery mode, black screen...
-
Hello,
this issue is still relevant for me. The workaround with the installer 0.1.12 is just to ignore the wrong image or whatever error occurs. In version 0.1.15-beta I can still not get beyond rebooting in fastboot mode. -
@humungus what OS is running on your computer? What installer package are you using exactly? Do you have
adbandfastbootinstalled on your computer? Have you tried to run the installer withsudo? -
@advocatux Hello I seemed to have fixed the issue. It is not a tool problem, but one of the installer. The tools are called asynchroniously and eventually hindering each other. I will clean up my code and send the patch to the maintainers.
-
@humungus perfect, I'm glad you found a solution
-
I'm eagerly awaiting this update too. After a failed attempt at flashing 16.04/rc I had to resort to flashing a Fairphone Android stock image (urgh!)
Is there a .zip of the current 16.04 image I can flash manually, preferably with a "flash all" shell script? I'd be more than happy enough with that in the absence of a functioning ubports-installer.
-
Hello, afaik the zip is build on the fly from the archives on the recovery system. I did not find a complete zip.
-
@scott-marley you can see here http://system-image.ubports.com/ how the system images are organized.
If you have trusty or xenial [*] running on your computer, you can try to install UT using the command line. You can also try to install that tool on bionic too, I heard it works but I haven't tried it myself on that distro.
sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=FP2 --channel=ubports-touch/16.04/rc --bootstrap --wipeEDIT: I've just remembered that that method worked on other devices but FP2 on the early days of 16.04 development. I think that's fixed now but I wanted to tell you. Anyway, you can give it a try.

ubuntu-device-flashis only officially available for those releases -
Hi on bionic I can not get ubuntu-device-flash (I am on aarch64 arch). I did not find the sources neither. I commented my fix on github. Best regards
-
@humungus ah I didn't know you're using aarch64
-
Not sure if it helps, but in the Fairphone forum there were some instructions how to sign TWRP images so that they can be used for a one off boot (without installing).
It's basically this: https://z3ntu.github.io/2017/06/16/Signing-boot-images.html
I tried to fiddle around with the ubports-installer sources and added some debug output to see the exact command that fails and gives the "FAILED (remote: bootimage: incomplete or not signed)" error:
fastboot boot "~/.cache/ubports/images/FP2/boot.img"If I sign the image according to the link above and use that instead, I don't get the error.
Edit: it seems this is already being worked on https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/184 and the problem is not with the file being signed or not.

@josepjc , @Scott-Marley :
I also had to reflash my FP2 with android stock image, because the ubports installer version 0.1.13 "broke" it.
After that I used the ubportsinstaller 0.1.9 and it worked like a charm... -
Cheers for the advice everyone, I also stumbled with the unsupported "ubuntu-device-flash" in bionic, but as @Luksus also mentioned, v0.1.9 worked fine for me too (eventually, took a couple of goes).
I'm now on 16.04/rc and just now got the W26 OTA update.
-
Hey,
in github is stated that the issue might be fixed. Maybe you can give it another try. I will do so later. -
Did the same as @Luksus.

Thank you all for helping my phone out of its misery -
@polto just for the record, there's a new installer version with all those old issues fixed

I managed to install Ubuntu Touch on a Fairphone 2 using the following method. I'm not sure every step is necessary, but I'll list them just in case.
- Laptop running Ubuntu 18.04
- Installed ubports-installer_0.1.9-beta_amd64.deb via command line (not Ubuntu Software) using 'sudo dpkg -i ubports-installer_0.1.9-beta_amd64.deb'. 1.20-beta failed repeatedly despite trying the deb, snap, and various permutations of this list.
- I had installed and reinstalled various versions of the OS on the Fairphone 2, but a fresh install of Fairphone Android manual switcher (fp2-sibon-18.04.1-manual-switcher) worked.
- Enabled developer mode with USB debugging enabled.
- Selected 'trust device every time'.
- Allowed ADB access to apps.
- Launched Ubports using CLI: 'sudo ubports-installer'
- Stepped through the wizard, using 15.04-stable, and wipe device.
Now I'm enjoying Ubuntu Touch - thank you!
