Alright everyone - I got it.

I was misunderstanding what was being said - this is how I did it:

• Download files needed here
• Flash 7.2.1 (stock ROM from Google)
• Flash 4-core TWRP after flashing stock image
• Boot into android
• Enable USB Debugging in Developer menu < - this wasn't needed because I did the rest via TWRP
• Boot into TWRP
• Wipe dalvik, data, and cache
• Reboot into recovery (TWRP)
• Run manual installation steps:

sudo apt install qemu-utils binfmt-support qemu-user-static e2fsprogs sudo simg2img binutils

cd /path/to/files/

./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system.img

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot halium-boot-4-cores.img

fastboot reboot

I now have a working installation of UBPorts on my angler

Thanks all!

P.S. I have extra files on my NC server that I needed, including the 4-core.img, the 7.2.1 files from Google, TWRP-4-core and it's associated boot script. - if you need them, I have them. Otherwise, they should all likely be hosted by the team in one spot.

Testing on Nexus 6p isn't going well. Will not flash - stalls at 75%. I opened an issue on GH that was closed as a "duplicate". That was for 0.7.4-beta.

That said, see this thread for what I've been dealing with getting UBPorts flashed to the angler.

This is an odd problem and there aren't any real logs to provide you. It just will not flash through the snap (or AppImage, or .deb). Seems to be specific to the angler. Or maybe just mine? I dunno - but I can flash manually, which might indicate something.

@flohack said in Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners:

@kz6fittycent you can always get the latest images from our CI as follows:

• The rootfs is built multiple times by day and can be downloaded here: https://ci.ubports.com/job/xenial-hybris-rootfs-arm64/
• The system image is built daily but it does not change very often, probably you dont need to replace it that much. Download this here: and then extract it from the archive from this location https://ci.ubports.com/job/Device Compatibility Images/job/halium-angler/ , and put it in the very same location in /system/var/lib... or, if you use the halium install only, just put it into /data partition - anyways just overwrite it, dont create an additional one somewhere

E.g.:

Does this answer your question? Not the rootfs is then what you would have in the devel channel. There is no direct download for RC or stable, but we are quite stable also in devel ^^

Thanks! Will I need to wipe before installing these coming from the older files or just flash over them?

@Flohack can you provide the latest system.img and rootfs so I can flash to a new version that would allow me to perform updates more easily? I have used these files to get to where I'm at.

@Flohack yes and I'd start it out with everything one would need to get the OS flashed - everything...

@rocket2nfinity PM'd you

@rocket2nfinity said in Call for testing: Google/Huawei Nexus 6P (angler) owners:

@kz6fittycent Don't remember how old the image is you used. If your build does not have update channels, running the installer will bring you up to date.

That's the same cable I used to flash it manually - good cable - bad installer?

Do I need to run through the entire installation process again (via the UBports Installer)? It is still giving me grief when trying to push the new update over - did not tick the bootstrap button.

This is where I'm at using the manual setup instructions provided (thanks @rocket2nfinity ).

I: Unmounting images
I: Pushing rootfs and android image to /data via ADB
I:    Pushing rootfs to /data via ADB
adb: error: failed to copy '.halium-install-imgs.RNTTa/rootfs.img' to '/data/rootfs.img': remote couldn't create file: Permission denied
.halium-install-imgs.RNTTa/rootfs.img: 0 fil... pushed. 43.1 MB/s (2752512 bytes in 0.061s)
I:    Pushing android image to /data via ADB
adb: error: failed to copy '.halium-install-imgs.RNTTa/system.img' to '/data/system.img': remote couldn't create file: Permission denied
.halium-install-imgs.RNTTa/system.img: 0 fil... pushed. 59.3 MB/s (2621440 bytes in 0.042s)

Followed this set of instructions:

./halium-install-standalone.sh -p ut ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz system.img
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot halium-boot-8-cores.img
fastboot reboot

/data, dalvik, and cache were wiped so I don't know what would cause this.

I ran the script with sudo as I was getting permission denied previous to do anything without it. Should I have su'd to root?

All very odd to me.

@augustblake Pop! 20.04 - I'm actually a snap "developer", too. Snaps work fine for me - this one is no exception. The .deb didn't work either. Tried the AppImage, too. Same results.

I think the problem is either the phone or some step that's getting missed or misunderstood on my part.
