        @phillip-walters if you get exec format error then probably you have downloaded the 64bit rootfs, which is not yet possible to be installed with halium-install. Please try 32bit 😉

            @kodaxx I can see you are in Telnet rescue mode. Thats not good, somethings then wrong with the installation. Can you telnet to the given address in dmesg and inside your phone, press again dmesg and you post this output?

                  Actually looks like I'm getting some install errors that I didn't notice before..

                  The relevant bit being:

                  adb: error: failed to copy '.halium-install-imgs.Zzv9k/rootfs.img' to '/data/rootfs.img': remote I/O error

                  I: Cleaning up

                    @kodaxx Did you wipe your system before? It might be needed if the partition was encrypted. In your TWRP, format all partitions and try again. A readonly filesystem can only be this, I hope 🙂

                      @Flohack yes, I have completely wiped. I have pushed other files with no issue. When I run the tool, it looks like it's working, once it gets to 100% pushing rootfs, I get this error and everything fails.

                      At that point, pushing other files does not work either until I remount or wipe, and running the tool again immediately fails

                        Can you try to psuh those files manually with adb? Lets at least see if that works. I dont want to tell it, but it might be that your flash ram is faulty.

                          Try to push which files manually? I can push pictures or other random files manually using adb without issue. If you mean to push the image files, I'm not sure where those are located - they seem to be created in a temporary directory and then deleted?

                            You can push the downloaded rootfs and the system.img for testing - they are bigger and hopefully trigger this error too.

                            You might also want to try another cable to be sure.

                              Sorry guys, I somehow destroyed the device during a repair, and now I need to see to get a replacement coming. So I wont be able to work on the port for some days. But believe me, I want this to be done still!

                                @Flohack That's the one I've been using. I'm gonna see if I can dig a little bit deeper. Sorry if it's a few days, though. Work is wiping me out.

                                  So I tried it again and it actually built and installed. When you say "Wait with some patience," how long are we talking?

                                    @phillip-walters Not sure, maybe 2 or 3 minutes. Do you get anything in dmesg -w on the host?

                                      No. No RNDIS interface or anything. I'm wondering if my phone is hosed up.

                                        @Flohack I'm a hardware guy. I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot your 6P if it wasn't something catastrophic

                                          @rocket2nfinity Well I changed battery, and that went fine, though one of the connectors became loose, so I planned another investigation for the next day.

                                          On the next day, while being able to remove the parts which need to be warmed up with a hairdryer worked well, I could not get the cover off, and I used too much force and accidentially came between the screen and the PCB, instead between PCB and case. So the screen broke, and I have a full length of damaged area plus a crack in the screen.

                                          I´m an idiot, I did not take out my contact lenses this eve, and so I couldnßt really see what I was doing 😉

                                          I wanted to get this as a daily driver, when I see that the porting status is well enough, but with that screen I cannot use it anymore. Instead I will look for a used one in medium condition, max € 100,-

                                          It would be possible to change a screen (but then this unit also has the CPU bug and cannot run on all 8 cores, so I would not invest in it further) but I dont feel like doing this, or paying for that.

                                            @Flohack Not an idiot. These things are getting harder to service everyday. I especially hate the ones with locking latches. They are designed to break, thus rendering the device unserviceable (unless you get crazy with the glue).

                                            I agree, not really worth it for a device with the cores disabled. However, ebay has plenty in your price range, and if you go on xda-developers and tell the community what you're doing with Ubuntu touch, I'm betting you'll get donations. I'd donate here if there was a button to, and I certainly will there if you do.

                                            There are a lot of us with Nexus 6Ps who would love to get Ubuntu Touch, or any of the other halium based ports on it.
