I bought this phone because I'd read about patches for MMS available through the QA Telegram channel. So i originally installed 2.x over Android. I immediately had out-of-space issues when i tried to install the MMS patches. Lionel said in Telegram that they routinely remove unneeded packages in order to make space under 2.x for QA tests.That shouldn't be necessary in order to contribute to QA.

So, there is a known problem with space. My guess is it needs to be expanded. I just saw fredl talk about porting Halium 12 to Pixel 3a and expand the size of root. This looks like a general issue.

There should be a mechanism in the installer or while running UT to free up space. Reinstalling Android and the UT again is a burdensome method. Anyway, that would just get me back to where I started, running 2.x without enough space to do QA.

@oldbutndy Yeah, a saw that, too. In wonder. I’m not in a Telegram channel for the OS itself, so I don’t know what their status reports are or release notes that describe changes. I can’t see what known bugs there are.

(I had reported not enough space on 2.x in Telegram before, but in that case, I was able to install 2.x but ran out of space when installing anything for UBports Quality Assurance.)

I think this phone has a lot of memory and the partition size (or whatever is the case) can be increased for 2.x.

I think there isn't enough space to install 2.x.

I will note that the screen with "Installing update" does come up after installing 1.x stable and booting. So, that's normal.

Bottom line: something is wrong with installing 2.x on OnePlus Nord N10 5G BE2026.

This time I rebooted a couple of times. While running 1.x daily I switched channels to 1.x stable. Rebooted a couple of times. Installed 2.x. Reboot. Again it is "Installing update".

I don't recall ever seeing "Installing update" after installing UT.

Now I'm back to the error "Failed to find block device for partionproduct_a".

So, this process of installing 2.x is unreliable.

When I installed 2.x, upon rebooting, I get "Installing Update". Where is it getting this update? Is that part of the 2.x install?

The Installing Update finished, the phone rebooted, and ended in Recovery mode.

It won't boot past the screen that says "The boot loader is unlocked..." AGAIN. At least I CAN shut it off now. But, it won't boot past that screen.

Installing 1.x again. "Installing Update" again. 1.x is installed.

Maybe the bottom line for all this is that today's daily 2.x is broken or it doesn't work on the N10 now.

Okay, I got back to the point where I could install 1.x and again after booting it up it said it is installing an update. I don't know if this is the daily update from when I started this day. That's when it downloaded the update but I didn't install it.

@oldbutndy I didn't try that, but why I was trying the procedure with unbricking using msmdownloadtool, there was an instruction to hold volume up and down and power together. That seems to have gotten my phone out of that unable-to-power-off mode. I thought for sure I'd try that already, since it's the way to get into the bootloader.

Trying to install 1.x again and the phone is hosed. I can't power it off. It is at screen that show

The boot loader is unlocked...
...
PRESS POWER KEY TO PAUSE BOOT

I hold the power key down for a minute and it doesn't power off.

When I plug it into my KDE desktop in this state I get a KDE alert that says

Halium initrd Failed to boot has been connected

(I can't edit the last post because the button in the lower right that lets you jump to the top or bottom is covering up the controls to like/dislike/...)

I wanted to say that the log file I'm looking at is

/cache/ubuntu_updater.log

Let me add the last message from the error ("upgrade"?) log viewable in Recovery:

tar: write error: No space left on device

Oh, maybe this is an aside, but when I boot into bootloader it says the device is "lito" but when I boot into recovery it says the device is "billie".

I have a Oneplus Nord N10 5G BE2026. I am using the latest KDE Neon Linux desktop for installations. I am using installer

ubports-installer_0.11.2_linux_x86_64.AppImage

I had initially installed 24.04-2.x on this phone. I had trouble, and so did a reinstall of 24.04-1.x daily. It was running fine. I've had it turned off for a couple of weeks.

I turned it on today and it downloaded an update. I didn't install the update. I decided to switch back to 2.x. So, I started the process to install 2.x daily. I always select the wipe data option.

I get confused about booting into fastboot, bootloader or recovery and the screen that has a green START and the Recovery screen that has orange options for factory reset and Advanced.

Anyway, I stumbled through the install a few times and it looked like I successfully did the install. It goes fast, because it looks like it is using cached files, except for 11 and 12, I think.

It boots up the UT mascot displays on the screen and it says it is doing an update. Then I set it up, log in and it is still running 1.x.

On one install attempt, I got an error after boot in which it goes into Recovery and to messages on the bottom of the screen say

Setting up partitions...
E: Failed to find block device for partitionproduct_a

(I can go into the logs if more information is needed.)

So, I tried the Factory reset in the Recovery menu. That did some wipe.

Tried the install again. Same problems.

I decided to delete the ~/.config/ubports-installer folder in order to start from scratch without cached files.

Still the same trouble. What should my next step be? Do I need to reinstall Android and really start over?

Thanks for your help.

@lduboeuf thank you very much for taking this on, Lionel. When I looked at the code a few years ago, I was overwhelmed by the complexity.

And it's the only web browser that supports importing bookmarks. Awesome!

Will those patches also fix group messaging? When I send a message to a group of recipients it only goes to the first recipient in the group.

@rocket2nfinity
When you say logged into a Google Account, do you mean Google Fi for that SIM? Or do you mean having the SIM in an Android phone that is logged into Google?

Since my SIM is in my N10 running UT, can I put it into a different phone, running Android, and turn off RCS?

Otherwise, I don't know how to manage a SIM in a regular Google account (not Google Fi).

Thanks.

Me, too. I have tried two different headsets.

Is this a known problem?

Has anyone succeeded in getting the Calendar to connect to iCloud as a general CalDAV account?

I've set it up in System Settings > Accounts on my OnePlus Nord N10 running 24.04-1.x daily.

In the Calendar app, I've clicked on Add online Calendar and selected the Account I set up.

The first time I click on the refresh button in the Calendar app (the button third from the right in the upper right), an alert comes up that the sync has finished. The calendar shown remains blank and the refresh button now has a red exclamation.

When I click on the refresh again, an alert pops up that says Sync error.

I do have an app-specific password and I use this configuration information on other systems, such as my Linux desktop (in Thunderbird).

TIA.
