Install UT on Google Pixel 3a XL
-
@matt73 said in Install UT on Google Pixel 3a XL:
When I turn the phone on, I get a warning that the bootloader is unlocked and that software integrity cannot be guaranteed and that any data may be vulnerable to attackers...then it displays the Google logo (not massively pleased about that because as you might expect I am not a big fan of Google) and then it goes into UT. This is how it is supposed to be right?
Yes. The warning screen can't be avoided, and the Google logo is just a cosmetic thing, it's literally just an image. For some phones this 'splash screen' has been replaced by something with a UBports logo; nice, for sure, but it doesn't change anything fundamental.

@moem Alright, excellent. Thank you kind people. May freedom prevail.

Hi guys! I installed my ubuntu touch without any problem. Thanks!

@ieuserie this is quite an old thread, but only just getting to a 3a. I have mnanaged to get everything set up and the installer appears to flash and install UB Ports, but it sits saying cleaning up and formatting user data partition for ever and never seems to complete. Same after 3 or 4 goes.
Ideas? Am I not waiting enough?

@negations Hello, I did the install today
Make sure to revert to factory image PQ3B.190801.002
try to reinstall Android,
Enable USB debug mode
Remove boot protection
I had some problem too, but using Ubuntu Computer with installer installed as .deb and also changing USB port from USB 3 to USB 2 help me !
Now it is working perfectly ! -
@saveurlinux I have tried all of those. Getting some error messages in the terminal using the deb version of the installer but it is still not getting anyway. With the snap version it appears to flash a few files to the 3a, but then doesn't do much. Odd.

@lakotaubp Sorry I was away and could not reply as I didn't have my login details on the road. Still no success. I tried all the suggestions on that link too. I have access to a windows and Mac machine now so will give those a try. The process of loading 9.0 seems fine and no errors, but the installer just hangs at the format user space stage. I left it for well over an hour so assume that there is an issue. I have read on other forums that I might need to format the partitions with ext4, but not sure how to do that yet. I will get there I hope. Meanwhile, my trusty N5 is here.

@lakotaubp Hanging head in shame....RTFM. I just noticed that on the second screen it says reboot to recovery mode. Installing now.

@negations If that is all it was do not worry it was an easy fix and we all do it. Enjoy your Pixel.
-
@lakotaubp Thanks for everyone's help and patience.
-
@negations It's no trouble it is what we do and are here for. Enjoy UT
