yes the bootloader is unlocked i did that a couple months ago when i recieved the phone. And yes i downgraded or rather switched back to proper firmware. i say that because i refuse to go any higher than pie at this point. im currently running dirty unicorns rom with and got all the extras working by flashing the lineage vendor. found that out by accident by switching from lineage to unicorns.

ok so heres the problems im having....

using the gsi installer, formatting userdata to ext4 using fastboot errors every time. when i go to twrp and change the file system of data from fsf2 to ext4 its wipes the internal storage ofcourse then i cannot add the gsi installer back to internal storage. windows just hangs for as long as you let it trying to do so. i can install the gsi without formatting to ext4 but when i was working on porting to the lg aristo 2 i remember that data had to be able to be formatted to ext4 since the img files are compiled to that format.

when i use the ubports installer it hangs at preparing system image and thats both having to fastboot boot the twrp image and when it actually goes to the compiled bootable recovery

@duhjoker First, I would revert your phone back to factory stock, removing twrp and everything else; you can use this guide if you'd like.

Here's the factory images

Then try the newest version of the ubports installer. Sometimes you have to help it along by manually booting the phone into fastboot and recovery during the installation

@fredldotme Ok, I made the change and will test

So the phone seems to work whenever i go to use it, but it looks like ive been missing calls and texts as people have been yelling at me (wife) lol
This is with the update 98 on the development channel and without the patched ofono-ril-binder-plugin as when i try that, i lose all telephony until i reinstall ut with the installer. And of course, this is all with sailfish_manager disabled, though i doubt that has anything to do with it

@dieharddan sadly it turns out that every Android 9 based device has issues with missing calls and SMS after some time, we're looking into it, that includes the Pro1 and Volla Phone.

@fredldotme Thanks for the update
