after the first try in the middle of the code I went on to the recovery which showed me this screen like this:
alt text

and the installer waited for a adb .. but nothing found

so after a second try:

I dont know what to do now, it again looks like it doesnt work on...
I went on, and I got a :
Can't load Android system. You continue to get this message, factory data reset erase a device

and now ?

Sorry

picrard

@Luksus

now I'm again in this UBports Recovery:
it shows me

Reboot
Factory reset
Advanced

the installer on the PC shows:

sorry for my post at the bottom on the phone it shows:

Halium 9 Slot b

do i have to change via fastboot to slot a ??

picrard@mobile:~$ fastboot getvar current-slot
current-slot: b
Finished. Total time: 0.007s
picrard@mobile:~$ fastboot --set-active=a
Setting current slot to 'a'                        OKAY [  0.022s]
Finished. Total time: 0.030s
picrard@mobile:~$ fastboot getvar current-slot
current-slot: a
Finished. Total time: 0.004s

but it does not work, or do I have to install again once again?

picrard

o.k., I think there was a problem with this Debian distro ?!?!

I have instead used an other computer with an older distro,
using the *.deb package on it.
On this one here I've used the snap package.

The computer with the *.deb package found the phone directly and installed all packages with response in the installer and in the terminal, now I have Ubuntu on my phone.

Thank you, will now test first then I maybe have to install the halium.....

Thank you

Luksus

@picrard great, thanks for the response.
To make it complete:
If your phone was showing the recovery, and the installer tried to push files via adb, but did nothing, it was clear that obviously something with your usb/adb to pc connection was wrong.

Now I would say it was the adb-toold package of your debian.

Have fun

picrard

@luksus yep it worked, and has automatically updated to halium after installation and next reboot...

now I have another problem, maybe I have to reinstall ubports again, maybe I have killed it, because I wanted to install an Android emulation but insted of installing Waydroid I've installed Anbox, wich seems to me very outdated right?

And I maybe also have killed the system because I did the

apt update
apt upgrade

...

it's now not possible for me to remove anbox,

apt remove anbox

hasn't worked...

So I think it's maybe better to reinstal ubports and after it installing "Waydroid" with the
"Waydroid Helper"

...is'nt it possible to install programs via apt ?

Luksus

@picrard yes, just reinstall using ubports installer. It is not needed to wipe data again. Bootstrap option is not neccesary too.

Then just run waydroidhelper again.

You can install things using apt, but it is not recommended and therefor not officially supported.
You would need to make the rootfs writeable for such things... I think there are enough topics about it here in the forum.

And never ever use apt upgrade!

picrard

I also had to wipe the whole data, without was maybe not enough, because I think that Anbox has to be completely deleted on the phone, without wiping my whole data Anbox was still on the phone, and I still wasn't able to start Waydroid....

After starting a completely new installation I was able to start the Waydroid after using the Waydroid installer from the AppStore...

... now I must try to install something which cooperates with google, maybe Gmicro(Or, what was the name using in /e/ ???)
because my banking software needs connection to google

and Waydroid doesn't cooperate with WIFI or Bluetooth, right ?

But many thank

Lakotaubp

@picrard The instructions for allowing G apps are in here https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/115 along with which other services need to be activated.

picrard

@lakotaubp many thanks, that worked for me ... great .. have now installed the microG, workes great, I think maybe better than on /e/...
