        Some people has asked me in private how to stay in the devel channel, so I think it's better if I post the command here 🙂

        ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=codename --channel=ubports-touch/16.04/devel --revision=version_number

        • Change codename for the proper one for your device. See here https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/ the codenames list
        • version_number means a version number that is not affected by this issue. See the latest good one (that's the previous version to the one affected) for your device here http://system-image.ubports.com/ubports-touch/16.04/devel/

        Edit: the issue has been fixed now (https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/821#issuecomment-413356669) so you can use the latest version_number.

                Hi all,
                I don't understand how to re-install another version... I don't think developer mode is enabled on my machine and I can't enable it any more due to the white screen of death we are seeing... so I can't see the solution?
                Thanks, Marc

                  @truscellino have just put my OPO back to 428 on the dev channel following the instructions given above by @advocatux using ubuntu-device-flash. You need adb on your pc/laptop and can install ubuntu-device -flash with sudo apt install ubuntu-device-flash. Make sure you have the correct device code name (bacon in my case) and update version that was ok for your device (428 for OPO). So connect your device to pc/laptop start adb then for me it was
                  ubuntu-device-flash --server=https://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=bacon --channel=ubports-touch/16.04/devel --revision=428
                  hit enter and let it run. Good luck. Only up now as daft enough to try an update this late at night. Let us know how you get on back tomorrow.

                      Thanks to @advocatux I could flash the old image to my Moto G2 Titan. The command is
                      ubuntu-device-flash --verbose --server=https://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=titan --channel=16.04/community/walid/devel --revision=121
                      I had success and my device is fine again.

                            @lakotaubp kudos!

                            BTW I see @Nikfrager has added the verbose parameter. Good idea.

                            If anyone want to know about all the ubuntu-device-flash parameters available, see
                            http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/xenial/man1/ubuntu-device-flash.1.html

                            Edit: fixed the wrong link (sorry)
