I got so used to using chrome on my android and the default Morph browser doest really cut it for me. Is there an alternative (closer to chrome in interface) browser available?

@totalsonic Do you boot into the fastboot mode and then select normal boot? Because I am pretty sure I get stuck in that boot option too (same problem with the warning, not the fastboot or anything).

@lakotaubp The problem is that even though it should boot into UT automatically after the warning, it doesn't.

It just stays on that warning screen indefinitely.

So I tried to reboot my device after finally succesfully installing Ubuntu Touch.

Then I wanted to try reboot it to see if it would now boot to UT automatically. To my horror it got stuck on the warning screen however.

Is this a known bug? Do I have to undertake different steps to prevent this from happening? I reflashed the UT because it was less work and now I know that is an option. What to do in the future?

@Lakotaubp Running it again with the wipe option selected magically made the install go flawless. I am now running Ubuntu Touch on my One Plus 6

Thank you so much for your help and also to @MrT10001

@lakotaubp I will go on to try with the wipe option selected.

The error I get is this: Error: adb:preparesystemimage: Error: {"error":{"code":1,"cmd":"C:\Users\WK\AppData\Local\Temp\1raG3Aut6N5DTMPVp2eiGFFUdbP\resources\app.asar.unpacked\node_modules\android-tools-bin\dist\win32\x86\adb.exe -P 5037 shell mkdir -p /cache/recovery"},"stderr":"mkdir: '/cache/recovery': Required key not available"}

If I choose "Ignore" the installer will say succes, however the phone will reboot back into recovery.
This is a brand new (although second hand) phone with no prior use for other OS (besides the native Oxygen OS from Oneplus itself)

@lakotaubp Sure thing

@lakotaubp I did what you said and have all the specified requirements. I got past the initial problem, but now I seem to be stuck at the Preparing system image section.

@MrT10001 Unlocking the bootloader got me further however now I get stuck at "Preparing system image..."

Have you installed compatible TWRP and ensured all the partitions are formatted to EXT4?

Is this also required? TWRP means rooting the device right? I dont recall that being specified anywhere?

@opaijavai @Keneda I now see I wasted a day waiting for my phone to magically do something. Thank you for confirming it.
Would you or anyone else happen to have a good resource on doing that for me?

I am asking because it seems my device is not getting flashed and the installer gets stuck with my OP6 stuck on the fastboot screen.

Previous help has suggested that I need to wait longer, but I have let the installer run for 120 minutes and there was absolutely no progress to be seen and the device booted to Oxygen OS 9 without any changes or problems afterwards.

@mrt10001 I have had it run for 20 minutes 3 times now, and once for 50 already.. it doesn't seem to improve or get anywhere at all.

Oneplus 6 | UBports installer 0.8.8 - Beta | Windows 10

My phone did get detected, and stuff did get downloaded. But now the installer just keeps circling on the 'Cleaning up.. Formatting system partition' phase. Did it get stuck or does this just take a long time?

My phone is on and the FastBoot is active on the screen asking me to select something. I am unsure whether or not I should do so? Does the Installer expect me to select something?

I hope someone has the answer for me?
