      Hello. I'm getting "can't flash recovery image" after about 15 seconds when trying to flash a Nexus 4. I can't find anything in the logs. Not sure where to even start.

            Thank you very much. Sorry for the noob question.

            A tip for other noobs: When it boots into 'UBPorts Recovery' just let it sit there. Resist the temptation to jack with it. Go have a cup of coffee, maybe two. After 10 to 15 minutes it will boot into Ubuntu.

              @oops-idk-really yes.... the files are being copied to the phone, just follow the instructions in your PC. Patience

                Hello!
                I'm new to this and my english isn't good. After years using Ubuntu on my laptop I now tried to install U-Touch on my nexus 4, but I only get to "Ubports Recovery". How do I have to go on from there?
                Thanks in advance for every help! 🙂
