@Lakotaubp THAT DID IT!!! Thank you so much for all of your help!

So it looks like the issue was the cable switched it out and was able to get it downloaded.

Now whenever i unplug the phone from the computer than the phone just restarts over and over again

ok so i tried this and is doesnt find the device in fastboot mode

@Lakotaubp I will give this a shot. I was able to find the device before with command prompt "adb devices" i believe...

I will let you know. Thank you for your quick responses

@Lakotaubp Yes i have that too

Thanks! I did all of these steps and both PC and Device were stuck on the same screen

I just purchased an unlocked Oneplus One to download Ubuntu touch. While trying to install through the provided installer, it stayed stuck on the "flashing the firmware" screen for a long time (4 hours plus)

Am i just impatient or does there seem to be a problem here?
