Hi @Skrap3r,
Unfortunately, I don't have a Volla device, but as long as you can access the Fastboot menu and also boot to recovery, I don't think all is lost.
But if you've never flashed back to the original OS or done a sideload, then I would seek help from the Volla forum, because you want to go back to Volla OS.

hi @gpatel-fr,
My main concern is that we ordinary people should get more involved instead of just consuming.
Keyword:
Democracy => Get informed and use your own voice (not the opinion of a relative, colleague, acquaintance, and for heaven's sake, not your boss) and take to the streets if it is necessary.
Market economy => Get informed and act immediately (change providers, shops, telecom's, and of course banks and insurance companies, etc.).

Hi @Moem,
Is that how it is in your country? Not even a post office bank?
So before the age of the internet, home computers, and smartphones,
there were (I think in every country) banks with counters, but people started to get lazy, going to the bank is like that, isn't it?
Here in Switzerland, you still have the option of going to the counter.
And thanks to our political system, we will also resist such changes.
We must not allow cash to be abolished, because when paper money was introduced, our ancestors did not abolish gold. Both existed side by side in order to stabilize the currency.

Hi
I keep reading the myth that nowadays you need a smartphone.
Let's be honest, if everyone stopped using these services and instead did everything at the counter or in the store, then neither the tech giants nor the authorities would have so much power.
Incidentally, the authorities seem to fear the people more than the tech giants, which is really worrying.

Hi @Skrap3r,
Are you looking for this zip file: 9.0-20201019-nightly-k63v2_64_bsp-signed.zip?
If not, look for another one, newly available at: https://ota.volla.tech/.
“All files were previously available at ota.volla.tech/builds/

Hi @O.o.
It will certainly help others when they see how far you've come.
The latest in your other thread <Taking the plunge>
about banking apps and others stuff:
@O.o. said in Taking the plunge:
I've been dithering and hesitating to give Ubuntu Touch a spin for months, and the obscene Google monopoly's decision to kill off deGoogled ROMs and open-source repos finally pushed me over the edge.
I've ordered a Fairphone 5, onto which I'll install Ubuntu Touch, and hopefully I will make it my new daily driver. For the things I need that don't exist in the OpenStore, I intend to start developing for Ubuntu Touch.
I suppose it had to happen one day. Google made it today. Wish me luck
Many thanks and Greetings

Hi jezek,
Please also note this link related to your topic.
In particular, it states:
The verification of the conformity of combinations of radio equipment and software by the radio equipment itself should not be misused to prevent the use of the equipment with software from independent suppliers.
End of quote.

Hi everyone,
Only for nerds: Unfortunately, the hack was provided for LineageOS, but maybe someone can convert it for UT. 
However, I am more in favor of banks taking action and finally offering apps for open operating systems so that security is not left solely to the tech giants and their external security companies. I believe that we as customers have a say in this and should be able to register our smartphones with their operating systems, including rooted devices, in our bank contracts or accounts under “Personal Data” (My Account).

Hi RJDan,
As I understand it, UT is not intended to be just another operating system for smartphones and mobile devices, but rather to guarantee users their own personal device.
This would mean that users themselves are responsible for what happens on and with their devices.
The basis for this is prepared and provided by the UBports Foundation.
The operating system with simple basic apps.
This basis should be largely supported by data protection and the simple, uncomplicated, even trivial use of a mobile device.
This means that the core programmers cannot take care of the apps that the community wants. And actually, we have been lacking more core programmers for a long time, even though this operating system has so many fans.
This means that it is not enough to simply raise money; the programmer or programmers for an app project would also have to be sought and found.
And that will probably be more difficult than raising money.
But very, very few things are impossible.
Therefore, I wish you every success in achieving your heart's desires.

Hi Charly,
Now I would wait until Noble 24.04-1.0 is released as stable, and then reflash with the UT installer, making sure not to check the data box so that your data is not lost.
It just takes a little patience.

Mario
Hi MrRoughwood,
Congratulations! 
And it's a very good decision to start with “stable.”

Hi 0xinit69,
@0xinit69 said in Installation fails on Redmi Note 9 (merlin):
BTW, do i flash that zip file via TWRP? Sorry I'm a noob at mobile linux.
What does this do? I never understood.
When a port is made from a device for the first time, flashing the device is more complicated and time-consuming, which is why we often use the useful TWRP tool.
When the device is later added to the UT Installer, it takes over the necessary tasks that were previously performed by the TWRP tool.

Hi @Charly,
Sorry for confusing your Volla device with the Fairphone:
I was searching the internet for a way to completely shut down a smartphone, as if you were disconnecting the power supply. Like with the old Qualcomm chipsets, where holding down the power button for about 15 to 20 seconds would cause a short triple vibration, triggering a warm start of the device and clearing the processor and RAM.
Then it occurred to me that with the Fairphone, it is possible to remove the battery. I have no idea why I no more realized that you have a Vollaphone and not a Fairphone.
Now to the update problem: can you use the apps that haven't been updated, or do they not run on the device at all?

Hi Charly,
After searching the internet, I would say that the error message (the same for all apps) means that something is still running/working in the processor, so it is not possible to update them.
At the risk of you having already tried the following:
The device should then be switched off and, thanks to Fairphone, the battery removed.
Wait 20 seconds, insert the battery, start the phone, and try the update again.

Have you allready tried the following?

Hi @cherrie,
I think that if one of the desired apps checks the device for bootloader look/unlook status, it will not be possible to install it. This is mainly done by security apps such as login apps or banking apps.
Please note that this is my opinion, and it has only been tested on one device with E-OS.
Greetings Mario
@ the readers
By the way, in this context: Warning message after unlocking the bootloader.
Although most people would disagree with the following statement, I would like to publish this comment.
In our market economy, warnings from manufacturers are primarily legal safeguards and only secondarily warnings to consumers.
So don't panic as long as you know what you are doing and why you are doing something that contravenes the warning.
=> Please note (my safeguard 
) It's your own fault, it may cost you something if you do it!
Nevertheless, have fun tinkering with your devices.
Greetings Mario
Hello UT users,
While surfing the web, I came across this website, and I think it could be useful when searching for devices and/or network operators.

Hi @saveurlinux,
The Ladybird browser does not appear to be fully developed yet.
The Morph browser, on the other hand, is complete, but we do not yet have enough programmers to integrate the necessary operating components. 
Therefore, I believe there is a lack of available expertise, i.e., a sufficient number of workers.
