      Hi.

      If the UBports installer was in the process of installing onto a smartphone whilst connected to a Desktop PC - could a sudden power cut brick the phone? Would we be best use a charged up laptop instead?

      πŸ€”

      Thanks.

        @Opolork IMO it would be close to impossible to brick a device in that way

          @advocatux What would likely happen in the Desktop PC power cut scenario?

            @Opolork you would need to resume or start from scratch the installation

              Yeah, just start over again with the installer. As it install also a fresh recovery, even if the phone does not boot anymore it will be restored correctly.
