<![CDATA[UBports installer does not install]]>Hello to all contributors,
I already installed successfully UBports on my old Nexus5, last year. Now, I'm trying to install it on a Redmi Note 7, which comes with Android 10.
When I launch the UBports installer v0.9.1-beta, either under Win10 or Ubuntu, and click on the final "Continue" button (leaving all default values on each step), nothing happens: no message, no disk/ram/proc activity, just as if the click was not taken in account.

I have posted about this issue on this page: https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/issues/2177
Should I re-post here all my posts?

After spending 10 hours on this issue, trying manual install during last ones, I'm stuck: the RN7 never manages to boot into system. Recovery/Bootloader modes do work.

What can I do now?
Does anyone have the same issue?
I'm looking for fresh ideas to go ahead...

But not in a conventional way. I tried with 0.8.8, 0.8.9 and 0.9.0 but noticed that in logfiles it said β€œ Download Error: https://volla.tech/filedump/volla-yggdrasil-9.0-ubports-installer.bootstrap.zip Error: certificate has expired ”, there was a file with that name in the .cache/ubports folder but it was size 0. I followed the link in browser and manually downloaded file and put it in in place of the empty one. Then it went ahead with installation. On 'Reboot to bootloader', I pressed volume up & power, released power then volume, as suggested. A menu appeared with: Reboot system now, Ubuntu actions, Android actions. I chose Android > Advanced > Reboot to bootloader. In the next screen (with super-tiny practically unreadable font) I had to press Volume Up to confirm a 'void of warranty'. Then the installer said β€œAll done! Enjoy exploring your new OS!” and the phone went on with installing normal updates with Yumi mascot.

And I confirm that 0.8.8 version is compatible with each supported device, don't care about this.

When the installer keeps waiting for a reboot, you can reboot your device manually either in bootloader mode (if installer expects to send fastboot commands) or in recovery mode for adb commands. After manual reboot, the installer will go on.

Installer is stuck at 'Rebooting to bootloader'. For my phone the latest installer offers UT, Volla OS and 2 other OS'es. I've tried 3 but all stop at the same step (or actually it keeps saying that it's rebooting), without any feedback on what happened. How did you install the older UBports installer, does it support Volla?

Finally it works, thanks to the installer v0.8.8. Not so easy at first try, probably because of my previous failed installs. I reverted back to the Android firmware, relaunched the ubports installer 0.8.8, had to manually reboot the RN7 once or twice, and it now boots onto Ubuntu Touch! Happy to be there after this long way.
Thank you very much for your hint.
