How to go back to OTA-3?
-
@krille For me GPS worked after a fresh install (with wipe) and then stopped working after the first restart. I am back to OTA-3 now and GPS works again. Hopefully GPS and media player will work in OTA-6.
-
At the trip in Vienna GPS always broke again after some time. You were right.
I'm now switched to the rc channel and there it seems to work so far... -
How did you hack the ubports-installer to install OTA3 ?
-
This works for rollback to OTA3:
ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=arale --channel=15.04/stable --revision=3

What happens if you run this in your phone terminal?
sudo system-image-cli --switch 15.04/stableToday I tried to downgrade back to 15.04... Didn't work. The device was a clean install.
Just reffering...
-
@jezek have you tried forcing the UT version with that command @mprotic posted?
If you don't have
ubuntu-device-flashinstalled in your computer [*] you can install Ubuntu 16.04 in a usb stick and install in it all the necessary tools too (ubports-installer,adb, andfastboot).[*] Assuming you don't have xenial running in your computer
Edit: of course, don't forget to change "arale" for "FP2" in your case
-
Strange. On my notbook, I have
adb,fastbootand evenubports-installerinstalled, but theubunt-device-flashcommand is missing. How can I install it?edit: notebook is a
$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Release: 18.04 Codename: bionic -
@jezek it's only available for trusty & xenial. If you're running anyone of them, you can install
ubuntu-device-flash(you forgot an 'u' btw) enabling the "universe" repo.Edit: ah, you edited your post. Use a live usb stick then or try to run that package (https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/ubuntu-device-flash) on your computer but I don't know if it will work.
Another edit: Thinking about that now, I think someone (maybe @dobey?) built that tool for 18.04.
-
@advocatux Sorry, where did I forgot an 'u'?
-
@jezek in
ubunt-device-flash. I pointed at that just in case you were typing the wrong command -
@advocatux ahh... I see... just a typo on this forum... in terminal I tried the right thing...
-
@jezek I've found that tool built for your OS

-
@jezek you're welcome. I'm pinging Rodney now, he built that package and he knows the solution for sure
-
@advocatux it won't install on mine 18.04, it shows installing, shows 100 %, and then nothing. How's that?
-
@jezek You should be able to run
sudo apt-get -f installafter manually installing a package with dpkg, to resolve the dependencies. If any are uninstallable though, I think it will just remove the package you were trying to install. I'm not sure if all of those dependencies are available in Ubuntu 18.04 though.All I did was fix the build so
goget-ubuntu-touchwould build on bionic. If it's not working/installing, feel free to open an issue or two on https://github.com/ubports/goget-ubuntu-touch about it. -
Meantime I tried to downgrade via
ubports-installer
Selected 15.04/stable, choose wipe option (for sure) and followed the instructions... result was, that 16.04/stable was installed...To summarize: It is NOT possible to downgrade to 15.04 either with
ubports-installer, nor withsystem-image-cli. And on 18.04 I failed to installubuntu-device-flashtool, so there is no way to downgrade to me for now.I will not accept defeat, will try again. Any suggestions?
Btw, the phone is FP2.

@lyovushka Please, help me. How did you hack the ubports-installer to install 15.04/stable - OTA3?

@dobey How did you build the
goget-ubuntu-touchI have tried to clone the repository and followed the README.md, but it was a dead end.
Then I used the

I just tweaked a few things to get the debian package building in CI. I didn't actually build it locally.
I didn't run it either. I just presumed if it built, it would work.
You can however, grab the
ubuntu-device-flashpackage from the official Ubuntu 16.04 repositories, and it does indeed run and work on 18.04. I'm not sure why the build in the ubports repo would not work. It seems there may be some additional issues there.
