Re: Ubuntu Touch on the Galaxy S5 helpitalicised text

If you have UT Tweak Tool installed be sure to check SSH settings under UTTT/System/SSH settings...

Not an intuitive step...

I have the "echo on the caller's end" problem also... I find using earbuds seems to solve the problem... ymmv.

@gischpelino Thank you for your observation. Indeed I did install TWRP in order to install "Powered by Ubuntu Touch" flash screen. Being informationally challenged i somehow had both UBports Recovery and TWRP which evidently caused the update to fail. When I reinstalled the OS as Lakotaubp recommended then TWRP vanished thankfully.

@lakotaubp I reinstalled using UBports installer and now showing OTA-19 with no updates pending

@lakotaubp I experimented with the various channels, except edge, and now have 2 updates that will not update no matter what, versions 7 & 37 respectively allegedly downloaded, and one marked "Update failed" and Cancelled Making progress evidently but in the wrong direction

2 Q:
Do you have TWRP on your device?
Would a reset be of any benefit or is the reinstall you mentioned the best/only option?

@lakotaubp Given it a good while but nothing happens... just stays on the top menu waiting on an input.

@moem Which is your daily use phone?

@lakotaubp Thanks for your response. It boots into TWRP's top menu and then just sits there presumably awaiting a user input. I'll leave it alone for a while and see what , if anything, happens

@moem Correct, my apologies...
OnePlus 3T it is Congrats on your OP3

I'm back again! OP1 3T Ubuntu 16.04 (OTA-18) Under Updates it reports Update Available: Ubuntu touch (sic) version 7 Downloaded and Install button is shown.

Instructions from the Install button offer a "Restart & Install" option. Pressing this boots in to TWRP and selecting "Reboot" from the main screen and then "System" it reboots and looking under Updates nothing has changed... the update is still reported as Downloaded and the Install button is still there.

Q. Where are downloaded system updates located?

Thank you in advance for any pointers

@lakotaubp I was aware that the issue had been addressed in other posts...i was merely adding an "amen"

@3t_ed Yes!

@lakotaubp Finally! Success! I thank you for your encouraging comments as I stumbled on thru the fog on this frustrating experience, caused by my lack of understanding assuredly. I think my error was in not understanding that when it rebooted, during the early part of the install process, that the Android Recovery page with its Ubuntu Action and Android Action was the target and I should have left it alone at that point! What a long strange trip it has been! I hope the powers that be decide to incorporate it going forward as it is good advertising as 3T_Ed noted.

@lakotaubp Well, I am now in the interesting position of having the Ubuntu Touch boot screen and OPO's Android OS! Lol... it's been an education to end up with the exact opposite of what I was originally trying to achieve

It's a pity UBTouch can't be loaded by TWRP. I will try UBPorts installer again, probably not tonight. i believe my cable is ok... in my recent reading i came across there being an issue with Linux and UBPorts installer tho i didn't investigate further at that point as that wasn't my immediate problem then.

@lakotaubp Thanks. I’ve read some articles about reinstalling the stock OPO OS via fastboot and then retrying to install UT. Steep learning curve

@lakotaubp evidently I've somehow managed to remove the OS! Reinstalling using UBPorts installer failing each time... "connection lost"

@lakotaubp it boots to the UT spash screen then goes black followed shortly bt two white lights near the fingereprint screen and then back into twrp

@lakotaubp Yes, its a continuous boot loop

@moem Thanks for your reply. Appreciate your input.

@lakotaubp Flashed the zip file and it worked and now shows the OPO Ubuntu Touch flash screen! Yay! However, it now will only boot into twrp! one step forward two steps back
