@MrT10001 I don't quite remember what the installer did when I flashed my phone (happy memories... not ) but from browsing v2/checkDownloads.ts I'd say that the installer is saving stuff in a sub-directory called 'download' from the current directory when it was launched.

@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.

@MrT10001 Me and another person here on the forum tried upgrading Sony Xperia X from focal to noble, but failed. It is stuck on the bootlogo and one of the devs or porters wrote that they are still investigating in it. So the Sony Xperia X is on the list of non upgrded devices.

@stanwood Thank you, realised I had put it in the wrong place.

@Luksus Every one I have tried via fastboot, it boot loops. I haven't used the installer for the 2Gb version.

Can confirm the installer is working again for this device.

@MrT10001 said in TB-X306X bootloop when install attempts from installer: As per above, the installer gets to reboot to fastbootd and the tablet goes into a bootloop (TB-X306X 4Gb/64Gb). I can only power the tablet off after this or boot to EDL mode to recover back to Android. Is this an installer files issue? Any other ideas before I attempt a manual install? At a guess it is a possible vbmeta and disable-verity issue as that is the prior step before reboot to fastbootd. The tablet is on the latest Android 11 and it happens on Windows 11 and Ubuntu machines. I have the same problem with the same tablet. If I understand correctly, to unblock the situation, I have to switch my tablet into EDL mode as indicated here for example: https://droidwin.com/boot-android-edl-mode/ and install UT manually? (as here: https://gist.github.com/thekosmix/1a7fc2308e9c9ea78bb4ad24bc0cda1a) I would not make another mistake...

@odo According those who would know, UT has the best battery life of the different mobile linux's on the same device.

Nope, New screen failed to stop the loop at the UT splash screen unless on 16.04 Development. Would like to know why........

@ikoz Many thanks for the work. I have them both on Xenial at the moment. I don't have the skillset to further these devices unfortunately. As for the IMEI disappearing, I assumed (never assume) that something like that was the case, so no panic. I don't know why my installs didn't quite go to plan, but figuring it out and then seeing UT running made it worthwhile. I am a big fan of the OP devices, quality hardware and a pretty straightforward install the vast majority of the time and I would personally award them a medal for making the bootloader not a chore to unlock!

@arubislander I thought it had the latest (last) version of Android on it, plus I was pretty certain I had the bootloader unlocked (all of the S7 G930F should have an unlocked bootloader). The boot to recovery when thinking about it (it was late) should have pointed me to the wrong Android version. Installed /e/OS version 1 (android 10) meaning unlocked bootloader and then installed UT.

@rubencarneiro Thank you. I had changed my USB ports, USB cables, PC and so on and was stumped why this issue was occurring. What I did see with the installer it went really, really quickly from fastboot to fastbootd and did the partition resize so quickly I just saw a flash on the screen. When I do it the manual way, it is quick but visible.

Anyone using this tablet has been able to get decent stylus behavior/functionality?

Hosed pendrive recovered, many thanks to PartedMagic. Then struggled to get YUMI Multiboot to install distros. Oh, yeah Windows 11, thanks for your "Folder Protection". Whitelisted YUMI, Ubuntu versions on pendrive, successful Ubuntu 23.10 install on ancient celeron machine, all data recovered, back up and running....:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
