Oneplus One installation failure
-
Good day folks.
I have failed to get Ubuntu Touch installed on a Oneplus One phone and would appreciate some guidance.
I installed the Ubuntu installer (Gdebi) 0.4.18-beta onto Linux Mint 19.2 and followed the steps in the UB Ports video https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/device/bacon/
[1] I set the phone to developer mode as specified.
[2] I connected the phone to the computer. The phone bleeped but did not turn on.
[3] I started the installer, selected Oneplus One manually as it was not automatically found, selected stable channel, selected no wipe, and left Bootstrap enabled.
[4] When I tried rebooting to Bootloader with the Power and Volume+ there was no response from the phone, even after 40 seconds holding the buttons. Clicking on Continue with the installer shows Waiting For Device... Fastboot Is Scanning For Devices. Eventually a warning appears that Connection Has Been Lost.Given that I have never owned or used a smart phone until yesterday, and am still a neophyte with Linux, can anybody suggest what to do next? Note that I have tried two different cables and two different USB ports, all of which are known to be working, to no avail. I have also Factory Reset the phone twice.

Hi!
First of all!
Have You bootloader unlocked on your phone? -
I can't do that. Holding the Power and Vol+ buttons for 60 seconds does nothing to the phone i.e no bleeps, no display, no response at all.
-
@cliffcoggin No that's not what they meant. OEM unlock is something that needs to be done for the installer to work. First thing just start the phone as normal and make sure you fully charge it. Then we can sort the rest for you. I am guessing you have adb and fastboot installed on your Mint OS.
-
Please explain OEM unlock.
The phone is charged and turned on.
I don't know about adb and fastboot but those commands in a terminal gave this:Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.39 Version 1:8.1.0+r23-5~18.04 Installed as /usr/lib/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb global options: -a listen on all network interfaces, not just localhost -d use USB device (error if multiple devices connected) -e use TCP/IP device (error if multiple TCP/IP devices available) -s SERIAL use device with given serial (overrides $ANDROID_SERIAL) -t ID use device with given transport id -H name of adb server host [default=localhost] -P port of adb server [default=5037] -L SOCKET listen on given socket for adb server [default=tcp:localhost:5037] general commands: devices [-l] list connected devices (-l for long output) help show this help message version show version num networking: connect HOST[:PORT] connect to a device via TCP/IP [default port=5555] disconnect [HOST[:PORT]] disconnect from given TCP/IP device [default port=5555], or all forward --list list all forward socket connections forward [--no-rebind] LOCAL REMOTE forward socket connection using: tcp:<port> (<local> may be "tcp:0" to pick any open port) localabstract:<unix domain socket name> localreserved:<unix domain socket name> localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name> dev:<character device name> jdwp:<process pid> (remote only) forward --remove LOCAL remove specific forward socket connection forward --remove-all remove all forward socket connections ppp TTY [PARAMETER...] run PPP over USB reverse --list list all reverse socket connections from device reverse [--no-rebind] REMOTE LOCAL reverse socket connection using: tcp:<port> (<remote> may be "tcp:0" to pick any open port) localabstract:<unix domain socket name> localreserved:<unix domain socket name> localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name> reverse --remove REMOTE remove specific reverse socket connection reverse --remove-all remove all reverse socket connections from device file transfer: push [--sync] LOCAL...

@cliffcoggin In a terminal type
adb reboot bootloader
wait for the phone to restart then type
Sudo fastboot oem unlock
When finished you can type
fastboot devices
and your device should be listed
restart the phone normally and try the installer again.
-
The first command did nothing to the phone and gave me this
code_text ```cliffcoggin@Cliffscomputer ~ $ adb reboot bootloader * daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037 * daemon started successfully error: no devices/emulators found -
Try to unset and set developer mode
Be sure you enabled USB-debugging in developer option
then connect your phone with USB cable it should ask you for permissions.
If it ask confirm and on PC in terminal type "adb devices". -
I unset and then set Developer Option, enabled debugging, and plugged in the cable. Still no response from the phone except for the charging light.
-
It's late here. I'll return tomorrow to see if anybody has further ideas.
-
@cliffcoggin Try an other USB cable.
-
The first thing you need to sort is the connection between your phone and pc. Try a few cables and just see if having the phone in file transfer/MTP mode gets that connection up.
Once thats done you can move to the adb connection. Just keep an eye out for the grant permission box on the device. -
I have a new cable arriving later today. Initially the old cable was working and the computer detected the phone as A0001, but later attempts told me there was no connection.
-
@Lakotaubp
The new cable connects the phone to the computer. A0001 is mounted.adb reboot bootloadercaused the phone to go into fastboot mode rather than restart.
sudo fastboot oem unlockplus password gave me OKAY finished in 0.023s.
fastbboot devicescaused the phone to factory reset.
Where do I go from here please?
PS. Should "ADB over network" be enabled? -
@cliffcoggin You do need to grant permission for the connection between pc and device that's all. I would just type in a terminal as a check
adb devices
Then run the installer if your device is shown that is
-
It doesn't show the phone.
List of devices attached df32588a unauthorizedHow do I authorise it?
-
I give up. I have tried every combination of instructions I can find, including the terminal command mentioned elsewhere on the forum. I'll get rid of it and stick with my dumb flip phone.

Enable developper mode i guess...
EDIT :
@Lakotaubp said in Oneplus One installation failure:
@cliffcoggin There should be a popup window asking you to accept the connection. Pretty sure it's on the phone when you connect. Can't remember how long it remains visable.
Or that more probably...

Just did quick web search so you might want to try others but, with the device connected revoke usb debugging (switch it off or whatever) in Dev options then type in a terminal
adb kill-server
adb start-serverYou should get asked to accept the connection. If you do then check with
adb devices
If not have a look on the web.
