      @tanevanwifferen @Guf
      Sorry for being the idiot in the room, but is there some install instructions on this.
      I know my way arround a bash shell and use ubuntu since 10+ years. But I am not sure how to install this on my LG.

      I managed to unlock the device and ran

      fastboot flash boot halium-boot-20200326.img

      from http://docs.ubports.com/tr/latest/porting/halium_7-1/Installing.html I thought I found more and cloned some repo and ran

      ./halium-install/halium-install -p ut ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system-20200326.img

      Giving me the output:

      Debug: Chosen rootfs is ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz
      Debug: Chosen android image is system-20200326.img
      Debug: Chosen release is ut
      Debug: Compress images before pushing: false

      Please run 'e2fsck -fy .halium-install-imgs.itwEy/system.img' to fix the filesystem
      after the aborted resize operation.
      I: Cleaning up
      error: no devices/emulators found
      

      What am I missing?

        @basti I had the same problem during my installation, I think I was able to solve the problem with a different rootfs at that time.
        I think I used this edge version:
        https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-hybris-edge-rootfs-armhf/

        Of course, this may not be right. But I was able to install everything with it.

        The manual activation of Bluetooth did not work for me, I used sudo for all commands.
        As error message after hciattach I always get an "initialization timed out".
        The GPS can be activated, but no location is found in uNAV.

          @Invy I need to upload new kernel configuration with HCIUART and HCIUART_H4, otherwise it won't work at all. I will ping as soon as I did it. Or I can add my halium-boot (botstrapping from systempart, as requested by OTA compatibility, or not) to be downloaded and tested.

            @Invy @basti No, it must be arm64, otherwise it won't work at all

                    @basti this is more likely due to adb, rather than to halium-install, the last command must be executed when the device is in recovery mode. Not in bootloader one

                      @Guf Ok. Not sure how to get there now. Cant connect to ADB anymore. Phone stucks in boot screen.

                      - Is there some instructions where this calling for recovery mode was mentioned?
                      - How can I recoever from my mode now?
                      - Is there some general instructions I can look at?

                        @basti Is the smartphone stuck in this screen?

                        Try this one:

                        • Turn off the smartphone
                        • Hold the power button on the back and Volume down
                        • When the LG logo appears, keep holding Volume down, release the power button and press the power button again briefly.

                        After a few seconds a recovery menu should appear
                        I strongly recommend to install TWRP for the LG G6, you should be able to install everything from here.

                          @Invy Thanks for the answer. We make steps forward.

                          I managed to install TWRP on the recovery partition. But the UT install still fails:

                            @basti Did you install your device with halium-install? I just updated the instruction at the very beginning.
                            Halium-install usually installs rootfs.img and system.img in datapart, so you need to flash the image, as described above.
                            Please, inform me if you still have problem booting.
                            Take it easy, you can recover your old system (previous UT or Android, or LineageOS), whenever you want.

                              Sorry, @Guf
                              I assume you have other stuff to work on, but I really do not see where there is any "instruction at the very beginning".

                              Yes, I installed my device with halium-install like adived on another website.

                              ./halium-install -p ut ../ubuntu-touch-hybris-xenial-arm64-rootfs.tar.gz ../halium-boot_h870_datapart.img
                              

                              I ran it two times, as in between I accidentally disconnected my hub.

                              First time I got this:

                              user@ubuntu~/Downloads/lgg6_ubuntu/halium-install (master)$ ./halium-install -p ut ../ubuntu-touch-hybris-xenial-arm64-rootfs.tar.gz ../halium-boot_h870_datapart.img

                                @basti you used the wrong file with the halium-install: the command needs to be feeded by the rootfs.tar.gz (you did it correct) then by system.img. At this point, it won't fail.
                                So far, you need to reboot in bootloader, and from pc execute fastboot flash boot halium-boot_h870_datapart.img (that you will download from the very first post).
                                Your halium-boot won't let you boot correctly because it is thought to bootsttap from systempart to be OTA compliant, while halium-boot install rootfs and system in datapart
                                Anyway, the 3rd line of the very first post, suggest to join a telegram chanbel that i created today

                                  I re-downloaded everything, but no luck.

                                  When you say system.img you mean system-202003262.img from this link in the initial post system.img???

                                  In that case it would be the command I used in my reply from the 17. Nov 2020 here:

                                  As I am not sure if you meant to rename that system-img file, I tried also this, but no success.

                                  Any other suggestions?

                                  Not sure what you want to tell me with "Your halium-boot won't let you boot correctly because it is thought to bootsttap from systempart to be OTA compliant, while halium-boot install rootfs and system in datapart"
                                  I have no clue what "datapart" is. What is that?
                                  What should I understand from that sentence? Halium does not let me boot, ... that is bad, right? What shoudl I do then/instead?

                                  Is there some instruction to it?

                                  Regarding the telegram channel: I I joined it. But ... why?
                                  You want me to post my continuing issues there and here or only there?
                                  So far it does not look like any help there.
