      I am asking because it seems my device is not getting flashed and the installer gets stuck with my OP6 stuck on the fastboot screen.

      Previous help has suggested that I need to wait longer, but I have let the installer run for 120 minutes and there was absolutely no progress to be seen and the device booted to Oxygen OS 9 without any changes or problems afterwards.

        Yes, you need to unlock your bootloader.

          Ubports installer normally tells you that it needs unlock prior installing.

            @opaijavai @Keneda I now see I wasted a day waiting for my phone to magically do something. Thank you for confirming it.
            Would you or anyone else happen to have a good resource on doing that for me?

              All i can tell you is that your phone has to be flashed with the apropriate android image before instaling Ubuntu Touch on it.

              I don't have your phone so can't tell what android it is.

                @digital_wookiee You need developer mode, android bebugging, mtp on in your OP6/6t and the unlocked bootloader. If the above doesn't do it or the installer ask to do it then reboot to bootloader and run- fastboot oem unlock - in a terminal. Then follow the instructions on the installer. You need android 9 or the OP version of that.

                  @lakotaubp I did what you said and have all the specified requirements. I got past the initial problem, but now I seem to be stuck at the Preparing system image section.

                    @digital_wookiee You now have two threads open that are going in the same direction. I would mark this as solved https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6311/how-to-ask-a-question-and-then-mark-it-as-solved (you know the bootloader needs to be unlocked) and carry on in your other thread. I will then lock this thread and direct people there https://forums.ubports.com/topic/6751/stuck-in-cleaning-up-or-does-that-just-take-a-long-while if that is Ok with you.
