<![CDATA[How to restart a failed install]]>I am new to flashing devices, so please explain in simple terms... 🙂

We tried installing Ubuntu Touch on two different Nexus 5.
Installing from Mac OS using the UBports installer.
Worked perfectly on one phone, but one of the installations failed.
Now what...
I can not start Ubuntu Touch on the phone, but can get into UBports Recovery.
But the UBports installer can not see the device when it is in Recovery.
How to I fix this?

-I have just installed Linux on a computer, if linux is better for fixing this.

Please see the following as some sort of checklist that it's convenient to follow usually:

  • Update the device to the latest official stock ROM (via OTA)
  • Optional: Back up your data in that device
  • Check that the device is not encrypted (do a factory reset if needed)
  • Turn on developer mode & USB debugging
  • Install the latest installer on your computer
  • Check out that you have adb and fastboot tools on your computer
  • Be sure you have a good USB cable
  • Start the installer and then plug the phone
  • Follow the on-screen instructions
  • Have patience. The installation takes a while
  • Enjoy your new UT device 🎉

N.B. Sometimes some installer version - package type combination works better than others
