        @atomos You can use Google´s vendor partition but I found some things wont work with it. Might have problems with sensors, GPS, Camera. But give it a try.

            @atomos No you probably need to do this in recovery. The partition is mounted as bind-mount, not easy to set readable....

              @flohack just tried adb push using TWRP 3.2.3.0, seems that the push is failing around 100mb.

                  Did some more tests. Was looking at the wrong string, it looks like adb push does work.

                  I also tried to use the install script without the password and user parameters which allows the system image to push, but it fails pushing the rootfs :

                    @maurice said in Pixel 2 XL (Taimen) Testing Results:

                    sudo ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img

                    have you try no sudo?

                    ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img

                        @Flohack @atomos SUCCESS!

                        After trying multiple times using the Macbook air ports. I tried a different setup. Used an external USB/USB C dock (Dell Universal Dock D6000) with a USB C to USB C cable connected to the phone.

                        So Macbook Air (2013) -> Dell Universal Dock -> Pixel 2 XL.

                        And when trying the script it finally worked!

                        ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img

                                @atomos Is the modification adding files or replacing them? Because with a replace I will have a hard time. Ofc I can add files if they are needed, or merge configs etc 😉

                                    @flohack thanks!
                                    no replacing, just add ".mbn" files and lines of configs.
                                    not working yet, in android OS, need do factory rest.

                                    l'll format my phone reinstall ut, do more test.

                                        carrier option is aways set to None. even I had selected my SIM card's carrier(CHN-CT), no lucky with your vendor.img.
                                        so I back to Android 9, lineageOS17.1, all of them works fine.

                                        in android OS(8.0-11.0), its supported CHN-CT(with 3g), mod vendor.img can supported 3g, LTE, VoLTE. just need copy files from other android phone with Snapdragon 835.

                                              thanks. I will test other things first.

                                              I upload CHN-CT supported files, with simple declaration in zip, you can download from here:
