@Vlad-Nirky That is an issue with the device from Xenial and Focal.

@jaden24077 You need a Windows machine and the Lenovo Software Fix tool. You will need to install it and log in with a Google/Facebook account or create a Lenovo account.You will need the devices serial number printed on the sticker on the rear of the device. Then perform a recovery and follow the instructions on the screen. This tool works with Windows only - if you get the choice of choosing the 4Gb/64Gb version choose that version and you will get Android 11. If not there is a way to spoof the tool to get Android 11 installed.

@jaden24077 Ahem, it works with the 2Gb/32Gb variant, but the user experience is not as good as with the 4Gb/64Gb variant, i.e multiple apps open slow the system right down. You will need to get Android 11 onto the device which is a bit of a challenge but very doable.

@delijati It needs updating and it hasn't had a commitment since February 2023.

@delijati Noble (24.04) does not work with the Xiaomi Mi A2 yet. Tried it many times and still no luck. Stay with 20.04 stable and you will have a good experience.

How is the Installer progressing to work with Apple Silicon (i.e. M1, M2,M3,M4 and now M5 CPU's) based PC's and Laptops?

There are still questions (in one of the Telegram channels) on why devices are not working on Noble when it is available to download on the installer before soft bricking the device. Could Noble be removed from these devices installer until it is resolved?

@alagirialagiri Both those devices, Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro and POCO x3 NFC are 2G/3G/4G LTE only. This is the hardware. 5G will only work on a device with 5G Modem hardware and the BLOB's to support it. The OnePlus N10 5G has a hardware 5G modem so technically should work with 5G if UT is set up for it (and I cannot remember if it is yet).

@muskist I have bought this up with the installer developers as there is some devices where the upgrade to Noble fails - OP6/6T, Lenovo Tab M10 TB-X605F/L, Xiaomi Mi A2 to name three... I know the OP6 and 6T is being worked on. I guess (and I am assuming, dangerous, don't assume) they are awaiting porters to bring the devices on as Focal worked, Noble should work.

@muskist As far as I have tried and am aware, Noble (24.04.x) does not work on this tablet yet. I have kept all mine on Xenial and Focal after trying to install Noble.

@yuu-ä3 said in Update to 24.0.1 and now won't boot.:

@MrT10001 how did you flash 24.04 exactly?

I used the installer and then found on the OP6 and 6T, 24.04 does not work so reverted to 20.04.

The port for the OP6 and 6T is being worked as I said to bring Noble 24.04.x to the device.

@James-T It worked for me, but I used Win11 executable. Try changing the USB port, then the USB cable if that fails.

For others, the OP6 and 6T is being worked on so Noble will work.

Using Windows 11 and the Windows.exe installer where in the config. can I alter the location of where the installer downloads the files too.

With Windows being such a resource hog, I use a small drive in this day and age and wherever anything is downloaded, it goes to a large storage drive which backs up to an offline drive and home-brew (OpenMediaVault) NAS. I found myself running out of space, the Windows drive is 512Gb (small these days) and found the culprit to be mainly Lenovo Software fix and the UT installer. Backing up the files resolved the space issue, but I don't want to keep having to download them again to flash a device (in one case it took 30 minutes downloading for the TB-X306F and that was not my end).

So any help on how I can point to a larger drive to pick up the files?

(And I ask as I went through the installer config and also the source code to see if that gave me any ideas).

Is the installer working with Apple Silicone now, i.e. M1 to M5 CPU's?

@paul-henri At what point did it fail?

@Keneda The site won't allow me to create an account to log in, wether that's by design or a bug, I don't know. The forums are the main part for me.

@paul-henri WiFi and other things not working is usually down to the incorrect version of Android on the device before the install of UT. A specific version of android is required for technical reasons, mainly partitions and Vendor BLOB's (drivers).

You need to go back to the correct version of Android, set it up and then install UT.

The zip file for the correct Android ROM contains various scripts to flash Android to the device.

If you are on Windows (10 or 11) use the flash_all.bat

If you are on Linux use the flash_all.sh

I guess you are using Windows as you mentioned the C : prompt and tried to run the Linux command in that - it won't work as you can see.

(Make sure you have Android Platform Tools installed as they contain the fastboot and ADB drivers)

What you have to do is totally extract the Android ROM file.
In the folder where the Android ROM file is extracted, open a command prompt - right click on an empty space and choose in the drop down box Open in Terminal.

Put the device in fastboot mode and connect it to the PC.
In the terminal run the command ./flash_all.bat and note the ./ in front of the command.

As it starts doing it's thing, leave it alone and be patient, it can take up to 10 minutes to flash the ROM onto the device and ma seem to hang, but it will be doing stuff. Once it completes, it will reboot, then go through the Android setup and make sure everything works, camera, GPS, wifi etc. Then do the UT install.

@Moem That post spurred me to get off my lazy "£$ and sort it out, I have put it back far too long and will be looking to buy some merch at some point!

Hi, as you are all well aware, I am a forum user here. I can login/Logout of the forums without an issue.

However I cannot log in to the UBports side of the site to lets say use the Shop. It keeps giving me a wrong password error.

So, I think I will therefore create another login for the UBports site (different email/password/username etc..). It won't allow me to do that.

I assume that because I logged into the forums before logging into the UBports site, it prevents me from doing so as they are separate parts (have a similar thing on our Linux global system at work, you have to change the password in the allotted time through a web portal and not on a local machine or you get logged out and cannot log in to another local machine or the web portal and have to contact the help desk for a password reset).

Can someone with admin rights help me here?

@paul-henri Download here. Use the fastboot version and run the flash_all.bat script (Windows) or flash_all.sh (Linux) from a terminal with the device in fastboot mode. DO NOT relock the bootloader as it can brick the device and be patient, the ROM takes about 10 minutes to install and may seem to hang at one stage, but it is doing things.
