The above list taken from the news blog indicates devices that will upgrade to 24.04 (Noble).

The following devices will NOT upgrade at the moment:

OnePlus 6 (on the above list)

OnePlus 6T (on the above list)

Xiaomi Mi A2

Lenovo Tab TB-X605F

Lenovo Tab TB-X605L

The above devices that won't upgrade (boot into recovery or hang at the initial splash screen) still get the upgrade notification pushed onto them and the upgrade can be selected on the UT installer.

If you do mistakenly choose the upgrade to Noble and it doesn't work, recover by booting manually to fastboot (the bootloader) and running it through the installer and choosing 20.04 leaving the Wipe Data box unticked.

Ok, to install on this device:

1. Boot into Android, enable Developer Options and enable OEM unlocking and USB debugging.

2. Ensure you are on Android 11 and your device is the 4Gb/64Gb version.

3. Open a terminal on the PC - if using Windows go to the folder where ADB and Fastboot.exe are and right click, Open in Terminal.

4. Plug the device into the PC and in the pop up window accept and then type in to the terminal on the PC, ADB reboot bootloader. This will boot you to fastboot mode.

5. Once in fastboot mode type in fastboot oem unlock or fastboot flashing unlock and follow the onscreen prompts. Once you have selected to unlock, the screen will freeze. Hold the power button and let the device reboot.

6. Set up Android again. Enable Developer Options and USB debugging.

7. Fire up the UT installer and follow the onscreen prompts. I suggest installing Stable 24.04.01. When it is installing, leave the tablet alone and allow it to do its thing.

@as1234 Thats the first bit. You then have to boot to fastboot and unlock it there running the command in terminal of the PC fastboot oem unlock

@as1234 Is your bootloader unlocked? What version of the tablet is it - 2Gb32Gb version or the 4Gb/64Gb version?

@rheomie Press power button and volume buttons together for at least forty seconds or until the device reboots. If not leave it on charge for a few hours and try powering up.

The system pushes the Noble upgrade to devices running on Focal, but don't seem to work with Noble. The specific example I am talking about is the Lenovo Tab TB-X605F/L 3Gb/32Gb version. The upgrade notification appears, upgrade and it just boots to recovery after installation. Running it through the installer results in the same thing. (Yes I know this tablet is a problem child). Would it be possible to stop this and/or remove the upgrade path for Noble from the installer?

(Similar things mentioned with the OP Nord N100 and OP Nord N10 5G, installer is fine with them).

Is the installer now working with Apple based Silicon Macs (M1 - M5) as Apple have just released the M5 version?

@robinsing the software fix does it for you, follow the instructions. You need to create an account or login with Facebook or Google account. You must also have your devices serial number to match the firmware.

@robinsing Use a Windows PC and the Lenovo Software Fix Tool to go back to Android. It is the easiest and quickest way.

Performance is not great, but it is far better than Android 10 and 11 for which I had to tweak to stop getting black screens when doing stuff.

@rheomie Delete all the files in the C:\ProgramData\RSA\Download\RomFiles folder labelled "TB_X306X_S120712_230301_BMP", but not the folder.

Replace the deleted files with files from your downloaded version (Android 11 and make sure it is Android 11).

(My version which I downloaded was Android 11 and was a folder labelled: TB-X306X_S230973_240402_BMP)

Then recover the device and you will get Android 11 installed. Then you can install UT.

@rheomie You need to delete all the files in the folder and replace with the Android 11 files for the 4Gb/64Gb version. This is the version I used: TB-X306X_S230973_240402_BMP. If you know the firmware file is Android 11 from the your downloaded version, extract it all and copy all the files in the extracted folder Firmware into the blank RSA\Downloads\RomFiles folder.

In the Xenial days I used VPN Editor which worked great for NordVPN. I don't know if it will work on Focal or Noble, may need an upgrade, but it had more tweaks to get things going.

@lauren15 said in install crash - screen locked on:

on pc, "fastboot devices" says "ab0b9013 fastboot
"adb devices" doesn't work

That is correct. Obviously something has gone wrong in the installer. Leave it in fastboot mode and as it is detected in the PC, start the installer again, manually select the device from the dropdown box and tick all of the boxes including "wipe data". Make sure you are using 24.04.1 stable, unless you are wanting to experiment.

@_Joao_ The issue with the mouse pointer on landscape mode is a global issue amongst all devices. It is a known bug.

The OMS is hopefully being worked on for Noble.

@Gabriel.de Run YouTube for as long as you can or carry out some other screen intensive operation. This will heat the GPU/CPU and screen and may through up an issue. If it happens within 5 minutes, your hardware may be at fault. If it the issue takes a long while to manifest, it can be normal for the aging device. The battery can also affect this if it is weak or failing. The screen is usually the first part along with power button to be damaged through misuse, but is usually the last item to fail through normal use.

@Gabriel.de Not seen this issue. However if you are using a screen intensive app like YouTube, stopping the app and rebooting may help.

@smobilesoft No, 30 minutes is awy too long. It should take no more than 5 minutes. If it does not stop the process and reboot the phone to fastboot. Open a terminal in your fastboot folder and run
./fastboot reboot fastboot

If it boots into fastbootd, good. If it does not, there is an issue somewhere.

@smobilesoft If you are using the MiFlash tool, it means you are using Windows.

This is what you require to do:

1. make sure the bootloader is unlocked. You have to use the MiFlash tool to do this. Without doing this you can never down grade or upgrade your ROM to the required Android ROM or install Ubuntu Touch.
   You have to use the Rom @Vlad-Nirky mentioned - why you may ask? The person who ported UT to the device used this to ensure the vendor BLOBs (drivers) would work so everything functions and other technical reasons.

2. If you relock the bootloader it can brick your device or you may have to go through Xiaomi's ridiculous procedure to unlock it again. It means you cannot install UT or another Android ROM.

3. The fastboot method to get the required ROM onto the device is by far the easiest way. Again, I reiterate, the bootloader must be unlocked. You must boot the device to fastboot mode, then connect it to the PC. Open a terminal in the unzipped ROM folder (that @Vlad-Nirky mentioned) and being Windows, run the command ./flash_all.bat exactly as that. Then sit back and let it do it's thing, it will take some time before it reboots.

4. Once it reboots into Android, set Android up, enable Developer Options and USB debugging. Start the UT installer, attach to the PC and follow the on-screen instructions, ensuring all boxes are ticked as it is an initial install.

5. When installing UT only interact with the device when you have to. The reboot into fastbootd can take some time.

Other considerations - make sure you have drivers installed for the device (you should have). Install the latest version of Android Platform tools. Try installer version 0.10.0. Windows sometimes has an issue with fastbootd (which is not regular fastboot).

(It works well under Windows too). The ROM flash takes some time. You need to use the fast boot version, unzip the folder and then open a terminal in that folder, put the phone in fastboot mode, then run the command @Vlad-Nirky stated. Then put the device down and leave it. It takes about 10 minutes to install and will seem to hang, but leave it till it reboots. Make sure you DO NOT relock the bootloader as it can brick the device. Once it reboots, then set Android up again and you can install UT. It works well on this device.

@k.nacke It seems ok after a reboot.
