Using adb/fastboot after ubports installation
-
Hi, so my UBports is fully installed and I'm trying to switch from UBports to lineageos on my Oneplus6. I currently can't get the phone to show up under
adb devicesorfastboot devices. I've tried:- Plugging it in while powered on and in developer mode - shows up as Generic Device
- Plugging it in while powered off - still shows up as Generic Device
- Holding the volume+ and power buttons for 7 seconds while plugged in and then installing the fastboot driver onto the phone
- Same as above but with the unsigned OnePlus USB driver after disabling signature enforcement on Windows
In all cases, typing either command shows a blank line. The one clue I've found so far is that the hardware IDs aren't present in either .inf file
USB\VID_05C6&PID_9008&REV_0000 USB\VID_05C6&PID_9008Sorry if that's irrelevant, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here

@drlejos Unplug the device from the PC. Power it off. Use volume down and power button to get to the bootloader. Bootloader is fastboot. Plug the device back into the pc. Install the relevant TWRP. Format Data, wipe cache and system. Reboot to TWRP. Install Lineage by ADB.

@mrt10001 When the device is unplugged, after holding volume- and power for long enough, it eventually boots into Ubuntu. Sometimes it takes 20 seconds sometimes it takes 60. It never loads the bootloader any more.
EDIT: ok I got it to show up with bootloader for about a second by holding power for 10 seconds as if I was turning it on as usual, then releasing when it vibrates, then volume down and repressing for another 10 seconds. Going to experiment some more.
EDIT 2: for anyone else who ends up with their device in the same state as mine: the trick was to continue holding down both buttons and click on the touch screen while still holding them down, and then I was able to release once it started the bootloader.
Thanks very much for the help! Hopefully I'll be good from here.
