Call for testing: UBports Installer 0.8.1-beta

NeoTheThird · 3 Dec 2020, 19:02

Here we go again: Hopefully the last release in the series of major backend-refactoring efforts. This one implements a new specification for the installer's config files, which allowed us to re-design the engine that translates configs into runnable steps from the ground up and correct some mistakes of the past. We're now at 56% unit test coverage on the installer itself (with all of our internal libraries sitting at 100%), and we are now unblocked from getting the installer to 100 % as well. Before we can do that, however, we need to do a full pre-release user testing session with all devices. This will hopefully be the last time we have to do it this diligently, so let's make it count!

Testing on Nexus 6p isn't going well. Will not flash - stalls at 75%. I opened an issue on GH that was closed as a "duplicate". That was for 0.7.4-beta.

That said, see this thread for what I've been dealing with getting UBPorts flashed to the angler.

This is an odd problem and there aren't any real logs to provide you. It just will not flash through the snap (or AppImage, or .deb). Seems to be specific to the angler. Or maybe just mine? I dunno - but I can flash manually, which might indicate something.

Tested this with Oneplus2

When in bootloader, device is not recognized, error: "The device msm8994 is not supported"

In release 0.7.4, same situation, device is properly recognized as oneplus2.
