Problems installing UBports on Oneplus One

Gert V.

@advocatux I turned developer mode on, but the phone still isn’t recognized. The list of devices attached returns empty when I run adb devices in terminal.

advocatux

@gert-v run adb kill-server unplug the phone and plug it again an run adb devices. Any output?

Also you need to accept the confirmation pop-up on your phone the first time you use adb.

@advocatux I will try later this day and will report back.

@gert-v You could try 16.04 dev and see how that goes might not need flohacks then. : )

@advocatux I ran adb kill-server and got server not running
unplugged the phone and plugged it again, ran adb devices, result:
List of devices attached
daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037
daemon started successfully
ran adb devices again, result:
List of devices attached
and then nothing....
No confirmation pop-up to accept, too.

@Lakotaubp For now the phone is working just fine for me, but if I choose to try 16.04 dev can I do all that just on the phone by changing the Channels in Update settings from Stable to Development, after that Ubuntu touch 16.04 dev will be downloaded and I can install it? Or do I need to use the UBports-installer instead.
In the latter case I think I will run into the same problem of the phone not being recognized by the pc.

@gert-v If your on 15.04 you will need the installer to get 16.04 and you can chose either RC or dev at the install stage. You can install RC then go to dev from your device.
Now you have developer mode on you should be OK. If you look at my post above you will see I had to chose the device manually then everything worked fine. If the install does stick at one point. Just stop it and restart and maybe have a spare USB cable to hand.
Any problems just pop back.

@gert-v hmm weird. I would remove adb.keys file, it's in /data/misc/adb/adb.keys and try again. Removing that file in your phone, force the authorization pop-up again.

Without adb in a working state, which is necessary to use the installer, you can upgrade to 16.04 RC or devel channels running on your phone Terminal sudo system-image-cli --switch 16.04/rc (change rc for devel if you want that, but rc is more stable).

@gert-v just checked and this is what I have used on windows 10

UBports-installer.0.1.9.103 (beta)

adb-setup-1.4.3

just in case you need it. This has worked on OPO,BQ5,Nexus5 and Miezu mx4

Marathon2422

@advocatux
Could a TWRP backup, be used to get a copy on his device.
( not familiar with oneplus one)

advocatux

@marathon2422 afaik OPO has a weird boot partition. Anyway to backup the whole device, the only way I know is to enter Recovery, and using adb run adb pull /data/system-data and adb pull /data/user-data

I remember @Flohack saying in the SG that the plan is to include that in the ubports-installer... someday

Hello all,

It has been a while since I installed UBports on my OPO and it has been running fine for me. The only problem during (or after) the proces of the installation was that the phone wasn't recognized anymore by neither my windows- nor my linux desktopcomputer, allthough this has'nt been a problem for me using the phone on a daily basis.
Last week I installed OTA-5, which worked flawlessly, by the way. Today I decided to plug my phone into my computer, running windows in this case, and to my surprise the phone was recognized as 'bacon'. So the little problem I had has been resolved.

So, no questions for help this time, but just to let you know. Thanks for all the great work done so far with UBports.
