        Hi @Flohack I attempted to conduct the test but I'm not able to get past the loading of the UBPorts while TWRP Recovery is running.

        I'm at the last step.

        ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ sudo ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img 
        D: Chosen rootfs is ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz
        D: Chosen android image is system.img
        D: Chosen release is ut
        D: Compress images before pushing: false
        
        I: Writing rootfs into mountable image
        I: Writing android image into mountable image
        I: Running post installation tasks
        enabling SSH ... [done]
        Please enter a new password for the user 'phablet':
        Enter new UNIX password: 
        Retype new UNIX password: 
        passwd: password updated successfully
        I: Shrinking images
        e2fsck 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
        resize2fs 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020)
        Resizing the filesystem on .halium-install-imgs.zkOht/system.img to 231448 (4k) blocks.
        Begin pass 3 (max = 20)
        Scanning inode table          XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
        The filesystem on .halium-install-imgs.zkOht/system.img is now 231448 (4k) blocks long.
        
        I: Unmounting images
        I: Pushing rootfs and android image to /data via ADB
        I:    Pushing rootfs to /data via ADB
        [  0%] /data/rootfs.img
        

        Issue is that the pushing of rootfs to /data never completes. Not sure if I messed up the step before with wiping and formatting the partitions as I had wiped all the partitions instead of just cache and system using TWRP.

        Trying these steps using Linux Mint on an 2013 Macbook Air.

          Here's a replication of the steps following https://pad.ubports.com/p/HaliumHowToTestInstall

          Here's the contents of my folders:

          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ ls
          platform-tools/                    
          taimen/
          halium-install-standalone.sh      
          system.img  
          twrp-3.5.0_9-0-taimen.img      
          ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz
          platform-tools_r30.0.5-linux.zip 
          taimen.zip
          

          There are two folders "platform-tools" and "taimen".

          Here are the steps I took:

          Prepare for Installation

          • Download the latest root filesystem: wget https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-hybris-android9-rootfs-arm64/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz

          • Download the customization of the device: halium-boot, system and vendor image provided by porter : http://twoot.bin.org.in/nextcloud/index.php/s/kFjWTt39MqNNnzs . Downloaded the Taimen files.

          • Download TWRP Recovery for your device: https://twrp.me/Devices/ - Note: DO NOT download the ZIP file for the TWRP installation that gained work with UT. You just need to download the .img file to get started! Downloaded twrp-3.5.0_9-0-taimen.img : https://dl.twrp.me/taimen/twrp-3.5.0_9-0-taimen.img.html from https://twrp.me/google/googlepixel2xl.html

          • Install Android platform tools: https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
            Export the subfolder platform tools and cd inside

          sudo cp adb / usr / bin && sudo cp fastboot / usr / bin
          
          • Install additional packages:
          sudo apt install qemu-user-static qemu-system-arm e2fsprogs simg2img 
          
          • Download halium-install:
          wget https://github.com/JBBgameich/halium-install/releases/download/continuous/halium-install-standalone.sh
          

          Set it to executable:

          chmod 755 halium-install-standalone.sh
          
          • Add udev rules for Android devices (this is also done by the Ubports Installer):
            sudo curl --create-dirs -L -o /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules https://raw.githubusercontent.com/snowdream/51-android/master/51-android.rules
          
          sudo chmod a + r /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
          

          Restart the sudo udev service

          sudo service udev restart
          

          On the Pixel 2XL Phone:

          • Enable developer mode in Android, allow USB debugging and OEM unlock: https://www.howtogeek.com/129728/how-to-access-the-developer-options-menu-and-enable-usb-debugging-on-android-4.2/
            On the same page, enable OEM unlocking

          • Connect your device
            Confirm the security warning on the Android device
            Check with adb devices if the device is listed

          adb devices
          
          • Shut down your Android and boot into fastboot mode
            Power up, press and hold Vol-Down until the robot appears
            Check with fastboot devices if the device is listed
          fastboot devices
          
          • Unlock the bootloader with "fastboot flashing unlock"
          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ fastboot flashing unlock
          < waiting for any device >
          OKAY [  6.037s]
          

          Confirm the warning on the device

          • Return to the bootloader on the phone and Flash partitions
            Issue fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img
          fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img
          

          Example:

          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install/taimen$ fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img 
          Sending 'boot_b' (16444 KB)                        OKAY [  0.499s]
          Writing 'boot_b'                                   OKAY [  0.159s]
          Finished. Total time: 0.679s
          

          Issue fastboot flash vendor vendor.img

          fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
          

          Example:

          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install/taimen$ fastboot flash vendor vendor.img 
          Sending 'vendor_b' (355036 KB)                     OKAY [ 10.774s]
          Writing 'vendor_b'                                 OKAY [  1.692s]
          Finished. Total time: 12.470s
          
          • Boot TWRP recovery by running fastboot boot twrp-xy.img
          fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0_9-0-taimen.img
          

          Example:

          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ fastboot boot twrp-3.5.0_9-0-taimen.img
          Sending 'boot.img' (40960 KB)                      OKAY [  1.206s]
          Booting                                            OKAY [  0.001s]
          Finished. Total time: 1.301s
          

          Once TWRP loads on the phone

          • Wipe cache and system.partition and format data partition to remove encryption

          NOTE on this step I had actually wiped all the partitions and formatted all partitions (Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage, Storage). Every time I run TWRP using fast boot, adb says "Recovery" when I try adb devices:

          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ adb devices
          List of devices attached
          [DEVICE ID]	recovery
          
          

          The only way to restore TWRP menus was to fastboot flash all three of the taimen stock images:

          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install/taimen$ fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img 
          Sending 'boot_a' (16444 KB)                        OKAY [  0.483s]
          Writing 'boot_a'                                   OKAY [  0.155s]
          Finished. Total time: 0.661s
          
          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install/taimen$ fastboot flash vendor vendor.img 
          Sending 'vendor_a' (355036 KB)                     OKAY [ 11.425s]
          Writing 'vendor_a'                                 OKAY [  1.632s]
          Finished. Total time: 13.061s
          
          
          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install/taimen$ fastboot flash system system.img
          Sending 'system_a' (356840 KB)                     OKAY [ 11.241s]
          Writing 'system_a'                                 OKAY [  1.678s]
          Finished. Total time: 12.925s
          

          Then when I fastboot twrp it brings up the appropriate twrp menus show up on the phone.

          Install the actual UT OS
          Issue ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img
          Add parameter -i if you want to install also your public key for easier SSH access

          NOTE at this point I had actually rebooted back to the boot loader.

          ~/Desktop/ubports/halium-install$ sudo ./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut -s ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz system.img 
          D: Chosen rootfs is ubuntu-touch-android9-arm64.tar.gz

            When wiping the Cache and System partitions using Advanced Wipe this is what TWRP displays:

            Updating partition details...
            ...done
            Full SELinux support is present.
            Wiping Dalvik Directories...
            Cleaned: /data/dalvik-cache...
            -- Dalvik Directory Wipe Complete!
            Formating System using mkefs...
            Done.
            Updating partition details...
            ...done
            

            When I try to format using TWRP:

            Failed to unmount '/data' (Device or resource busy)
            Updating partition details...
            ...done

              no need get twrp menu. when u flash haluum-boot.img, vendor.img.
              fastboot boot twrp.img.
              twrp always on first screen.
              just run the last install command.then adb reboot.

                @atomos Thanks. I tried a different version of TWRP and I'm getting some progress but then the phone disconnects:

                      @atomos could the issue on mine might be that I have to roll back to android 9 before trying the steps?

                      For example should I be rolling back to 9.0.0 (PPR1.180610.009, Aug 2018) from https://developers.google.com/android/images ?

                            Just ran into an issue rolling back. Will have to pick this test up later this week. Thanks for everyone's help.

                              @maurice Its really strange but it could be your USB cable, or try different port on your host. Definitely this is an error related to the ADB protocol. So it looses connection to your device from time to time.

                              You can try yourself, push a bigger file into /data (few hundred megs) like: adb push xy.tgz /data and see if that goes through.

                              Note that this has nothing to do with clearing partitions. You can also try an older TWRP version. We might also be able to use the UBports recovery, let me try to build that tonight.

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

                                    @flohack can I copy files to /vendor/rfs/msm/mpss/readonly/mbn/mcfg/configs/mcfg_sw/generic/
                                    afer install ubuntu.
                                    i use

                                    sudo mount -o remount,rw /
                                    

                                    then do copy command, its says read only filesystem.

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

                                            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
