      Hi everyone, I am new here! and happy to be participating !

      I just tried to install Ubuntu touch, but when ubuntu is booting the screen just goes black during the splashscreen loading phase : D186q.png (not an actual screenshot...)

      Before calling for a bug, I want to share with you my process for validation.

      1 - First I unlock my bootloader using fastboot
      2 - install TWRP
      3 - Flash the jasmine_sprout_stock_android9.zip that UBports installer is suggesting to me
      4 - Reboot on the android to put developer mode "on"
      5 - Run UBports installer till the end.

      I have to say that during my first attempt, my computer randomly shut down fastboot during UBports intallation (due to amd usb issues I think). and before that I wrongly flashed an UBtouch rom that switched my android fastboot to a linux one.

      After all of this I still managed to wipe my phone and then install UBtouch.

      I did all of this using UBports Appimage from Elementary OS
      I also tried using manjaro on an other computer but having the usb Issue.

      I managed now to reset and lock again my phone with the mi flash tool to restart the process from fresh. I also found an usb amd issue bootloader fix (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJNVxUYdRe4). My next attempt will be on windows using powershell.

      My questions : - Did I understood well the process ?
      - Is it a good idea to try again according my UBtouch boot problem?

      Thanks!

            Sorry for offtopic, but I also had a problem with installation, but on Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, in one case ubports-installer turned the phone into a brick, in other after reflashing it fell out into halium recovery mode. I could only successfully install only through TWRP v10 GSI firmware, which then does not update. I temporarily restored Android from the backup, but now it has broken WiFi, MAC is 02:00:00:00:00:00, BTW, does anyone know how to fix it? with BT somehow everything is slow.

              @markatrafik wrong section, I think ubuntu touch may overwrite some files

                @carlod Some people claim that the files on the 'persist' (ext4) and 'persist_image' (emmc) partitions were changed, but I saved and restored those too. So something else. Maybe some code inside in the WiFi chip (Qualcomm) ? Unfortunately I do not know yet in detail how it works.

                  @markatrafik HI, I had the same issue with MAC address to 02:00...
                  To fix it, I had to go to fastboot unlock critical and do a flash_all from a stock androidone.
                  Tell me whether you need more info.
