Hello all,

It has been a while since I installed UBports on my OPO and it has been running fine for me. The only problem during (or after) the proces of the installation was that the phone wasn't recognized anymore by neither my windows- nor my linux desktopcomputer, allthough this has'nt been a problem for me using the phone on a daily basis.
Last week I installed OTA-5, which worked flawlessly, by the way. Today I decided to plug my phone into my computer, running windows in this case, and to my surprise the phone was recognized as 'bacon'. So the little problem I had has been resolved.

So, no questions for help this time, but just to let you know. Thanks for all the great work done so far with UBports.

@advocatux I ran adb kill-server and got server not running
unplugged the phone and plugged it again, ran adb devices, result:
List of devices attached
daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037
daemon started successfully
ran adb devices again, result:
List of devices attached
and then nothing....
No confirmation pop-up to accept, too.

@Lakotaubp For now the phone is working just fine for me, but if I choose to try 16.04 dev can I do all that just on the phone by changing the Channels in Update settings from Stable to Development, after that Ubuntu touch 16.04 dev will be downloaded and I can install it? Or do I need to use the UBports-installer instead.
In the latter case I think I will run into the same problem of the phone not being recognized by the pc.

@advocatux I will try later this day and will report back.

@advocatux I turned developer mode on, but the phone still isn’t recognized. The list of devices attached returns empty when I run adb devices in terminal.

@advocatux Oops, ehm, no it wasn't... Thanks!

Hi,
I ´m back again after a short trip and ready to proceed with the ¨flohacks¨. Alas, I do not get far.
I connected the phone to my pc running ubuntu 18.04 by usb cable, but it does not recognize the phone. I ran adb devices in the terminal with several cables and in several usb-ports and it came back with no result. Other usb-devices coupled to my pc on the same ports and with the same cables are recognized, so it´s not the pc I think. Also when I connect the phone to a pc running windows it is not recognized either. Any ideas?

By the way, so far I´m very happy with UBports on my phone!

I will definitely look at the "flohacks" soon, but for the next 5 days I'm not anywhere near my pc.
The tutorials of the hacks seem straightforward enough but when I run into trouble I know where to ask for help

@advocatux @Lakotaubp I'm on the 15.04 version of UT at the moment and it is all working fine.

@advocatux @Lakotaubp
Thanks a million to you both. I just finished installing UBports on my Oneplus One. It took me a couple of tries to find a usb-cable that didn't mess things up, but after the third time it succeeded. Time to start exploring!

@Lakotaubp All help is appriciated! I did tryanother USB-port, but used the same cable. When I am able to, I will definitely try your solution.

@advocatux This time I ran the installer with sudo. But also this time the installation got stuck. ADB push gets up to 43%.
Then I get this.
...
debug:
info: ADB push 43%
debug: message=Command failed: adb -P 5038 push "/home/gert/.cache/ubports/pool/ubports-e5cf0885f061c9615931cf863a43f65d8590aa71027315ad71999252ce118868.tar.xz" /cache/recovery/

I saved the complete output of the terminal if you need more.
Thanks a lot!

@advocatux
Alas, another Yikes!
After I installed the latest version of the installer everything went smooth, downloading all the files. But then the installation stopped and it showed “Adb push error”.

So, although the adb and fastboot tools are there, something still doesn’t seem quite right.

Almost there I think, but stuck for the moment. Any thoughts on what might be wrong? Much appriciated!

Gert

Hi,

The adb- and fastboot-tools are installed, presumably the latest version. The version of the UBports installer wasn’t the latest, but version 01.13 that I downloaded from the site. I will remove the older version and install the one you recommended.
Once I’ve done that I can run the proces again using the new installer, I presume. Or are there other steps necessary before I proceed?

Thanks for your quick response, Gert

Hello to you all.

I’m new to the forum and in need for help already
A couple of weeks back I decided to take the plunge and bought my self a secondhand Oneplus One to discover the world of UBports.
Today I finally took the time to go through the proces of the installation. I used the installation tool on a pc running Ubuntu 18.04.
All went smooth initially, but then I got the “Yikes”-message that something had gone wrong. Unfortunately I did not make a screenprint so I can’t reproduce the exact message. Instead I chose the option to try again. This time the program kept hanging, nothing happened.
The result is that when I when I restart the phone it goes no further then the screen with the oneplus-logo. I can boot into (UBports) Recovery. There I have 6 options to chose from.

I’m kind of lost now and unsure hoe to proceed. Any help is very much appriciated.

Best regards, Gert
