            @fredo333 If you reboot the device, does it boot into Android? When I sideload a ROM through TWRP it always gets to 47~49% and tells me it is successful. I reboot and it will boot fine into Android.

            Xiaomi Redmi Note 7.... And more...
            I have too many devices...

              Best regards,

                Hi, I just installed Ubuntu Phone on a Xiami A2, the experience has been somewhat bittersweet. I followed scream314's instructions, they are very detailed. I have had some difficulties with the slots. The first time you can install Android9 in a slot but already then I could not reload TWRP and therefore install Android9 in the other slot. Now when I run the command on slot info it tells me.

                jv@mx-hpa6613 /h/shared> fastboot getvar current-slot
                getvar:current-slot FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
                Finished. Total time: 0.001s

                jv@mx-hpa6613 /h/shared> fastboot --set-active=b
                fastboot: error: Device does not support slots

                Since I installed Androis9 in slot b the 'fastboot boot' or fastboot flash' commands do not work. With the same cable, the same pc and usb2 as before I was able to do it.

                I tried to reinstall Android 10, I downloaded the .zip and .tgz files but I have not managed to get the phone to take them what commands to use?
                I have also followed the information from
                https://forums.ubports.com/post/73137
                but I can't get it

                Since I installed Android9 I get a warning when starting the mobile,
                'the boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be saved. Any data stored on the device may be available to attackers. Do not store any sensitive data on the device.'

                Even so I tried to use the installer, the deb package, the latest version. Surprisingly the installation was completed. I still get the warning about the bootloader and the androidone logo. But Ubuntu Phone works

                How could I go back to the original system and reinstall? to solve the problem of the slots.

                  That is completely normal.
