oneplus one, stuck on firmware flash
-
Hi everyone, the ubports installer is something I've tried on and off for the past couple years as new updates came out, but I've never been able to get it to work.
It seems its closer now than ever as it instantly detects my phone and prompts to start the install but as in the past the installer gets stuck on "flashing firmware" and the phone stays on "fastboot mode" showing on screen. I've given it about an hour so far, where should I start for troubleshooting?
-
@kaveman Make sure you have unlocked the bootloader. If that has been done reinstall the latest Android - cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3P0-bacon-signed-fastboot. Once you have done that make sure developer options is enabled and USB debugging is checked.
The OPO is one of the easiest devices to install UT on as very little goes wrong.

I have a weird issue, the ubports installer detects my opo but when I run "fastboot devices" in powershell with the opo connected in fastboot mode nothing is returned
I double checked that I have the universaladb drivers installed as well
-
@kaveman Try a different USB cable. If that fails try another USB port, if USB 3.0, try USB 2.0. I also install Android Studio which gives me the latest ADB and Fastboot drivers.

@mrt10001 I think I have it almost working now, I got to the stage of booting into recovery
Now the phone is showing "powered by ubuntu" and further down the screen it says "suported by ubports" the ubports installer is showing "waiting for device"
should I power down and try to boot back into recovery again?
disconnect and start over with installer?
-
nevermind! i disconnected phone, powered down, then powered up into recovery and reconnected to comp, now the installer is downloading stuff ! :))
-
@kaveman process finished and phone is showing "installing updates"

@kaveman Good stuff, you should be there by the time this is posted.
