@epvnn didn't solve it... I'm thinking about letting it go and just learn java so i can make androud apps instead
Was planning on using ubuntu on the phone to run python scripts...
But it seems more hastle than it's worth... -
-
@Guf thanks! I'll see what I can do, but I don't know if I'll be able to do anything because I'm having trouble accessing the bootloader.
But that's not really an Ubuntu Touch issue, so I'll try to find help on that elsewhere. -
Hi every one, thank you for sharing your work. I'm also new to the UBPorts community. I have the exact same issue as @epvnn and @franky32 on the h870, that is to say resize2fs error. I'm on elementary with all dependencies downloaded, adb and fastboot. Bootloader properly unlocked and data partition formated as ext4. I am not using official twrp as i was not able to mount some partition with it, i've used the LG v20 instructions. I would like to know if there is any way to solve it ? Thank you

@Litcornes i disabled the resize function in the halium-install script and i managed to finish the images and copy them to the phone.
The problem after that for me was that libgui.so library doesn't load... so lightdm keeps crashing.
Haven't done anything else with it...You can disable the resize function in the file named core.sh in the functions folder of the halium-install cloned repository.
The line to comment out is this one
[ -f "$IMAGE_DIR/system.img" ] && sudo resize2fs -p -M "$IMAGE_DIR/system.img"Just put a # in front of that line.
-
@Litcornes btw... the armhf rootfs will most likely not work... from what i could see most librarys in the system image are 64 bit. So they won't load on the armhf version. You'll need the arm64 rootfs.
When i tried the armhf rootfs the system would boot and i could ssh into it... but lightdm wouldn't start properly.
On arm64 rootfs it doesn't boot... it keeps resetting.
Maybe you have more luck with it...
If you manage let me know what you did
-
@franky32 Thank you for your anwers, i did managed to get it working. I did what you said, comment out the line and the script did worked. I've listened to you and used this : xenial-hybris-edge-rootfs-arm64. Then i followed every steps listed here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/ubuntu-touch-wip-lgv20h918-t4002579.
Et voilà, every things seems to be working as intended (as listed in the post). I'm a casual so if i did something wrong don't hesitate. -
@Litcornes did it boot up into the ubuntu interface? cause when i try that rootfs it spits out an error with the ssh.override missing...
-
@franky32 yes it did boot up after proceeding the adb command and the install of halium boot.
-
@Litcornes what android did you have on your phone? Maybe it's dependent on the version of android... even though i tried with 7...8 and lineage os 14.1...
-
@franky32 i had installed this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/rom-havocos-v2-1-t3893668 and i was using this version of twrp :https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/development/twrp-t3828254
-
@franky32 this rom is based on android 10
-
@Litcornes i'll give it a try...
-
@franky32 it was the rootfs
the one you used worked for me as well... just that i selected the wrong one the first time i tried after downloading it -
<rant>
I saw this post and immediately bought a used LG G6. Unfortunately it was the LS993 model which can't fastboot. So was totally excited to install and test your port, @Guf ... but won't be able to.
</end of rant>

@enrolado I found this post where they said that you need to visit a support center. But I suppose the main issue might be Sprint firmware. Now, I don't know which hardware differences yours might have versus h870, they are probably firmware based.
Try to unlock it officially by requesting unlock.bin, then let's see what we can do -
Hello! When i first started to hear about Ubuntu on Lg g6, I imedietly jumped to my mom's phone to try it out. I'm just a begginner and know absolutely nothing about how to install this OS. Can somebody help me?
I already unlocked my phone, and managed to install twrp (idk if I did it okay). My phone model is h870, EU version. I'd want to experience the Ubuntu OS at the earliest possible moment. Thanks! -
@T0p0r
Is your mum ok for you wiping her phone out?
-
@Keneda yes, because I would trade with my phone (which is much better). But you didn't answered my question.
-
@T0p0r Sorry i have a MX4 so can't tell...
What i can tell is if you want to use uTouch as a daily phone OS, you should choose a full supported device.
