      @atomos Yes, same issue. Also tried a different port and several USB C cables.

        @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 
        [sudo] password for :

        D: Chosen android image is system.img

        Now on to testing capabilities. Thanks for all your help and input. @Flohack recommendation to try different host ports helped!

                @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 πŸ˜‰

                    @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:
