@rocket2nfinity Concur, Red Pocket works for AT&T although even after trying various APN configs, it seems to be stuck on 3G.

Other than that, text without pictures works, phone and internet all functional.

Thanks for the tip!

I went out and bought a Simply Mobile (powered by T Mobile) Keep Your Own Phone Sim Kit for a dollar. I then purchased a 50$ SimpleMobile 30 day plan.

All worked fine.

For fun I tried to do the same thing with the Straight Talk bring your own phone plan.

This "provider" has three sim cards in the kit. The phone wouldn't recognize either the AT&T or Verizon Sims, but the T Mobile Sim worked fine.

Sure would be nice to be able to use the bigger networks of AT&T and Verizon.

Cheers!

@tera Thank you so much. That worked fine. I'm currently updating to Kernel Channel. I didn't have to use DD or BMAP. In regards to BMAP, I'm thinking the partitions aren't at optimum as I used the standard Linux Mint Disk Image Writer utility, I'll enclose a picture below. It appears everything is working fine though and I have full use of the phone's SD card slot with UBTouch running on eMMC.

Looking forward to future development of UBT and wondering if my Librem 5 is EVER going to ship.

So I would call this issue pretty much solved.

Greetings,

I'd like to put UBports UT on my new Pinephone (eMMC).
Manjaro wouldn't update out of the box due to libcanberra lock up.

I tried out various OS's via SD and liked UBports best.

I was just going to flash using the instructions found below but wondered if the community had a better way?

I also tried UBports installer via snapcraft on my LinuxMint laptop and was surprised it didn't have Pinephone selection as an option.

Happy Fourth!
