@oldbutndy Yes, it's. That usually happens in one of the Telegram threads, but you can ask in the linked forum post as well.

OP 6/6T is also being revived by Ruben (OP N10/N100 porter).

@oldbutndy You also have other options coming - there are two OP 8/T/ Pro ports in progress.

Check on their progress before buying, but US unlocked models are 1N2015, 1N2025, KB2005.

They also have PostmarketOS builds. They are all 5G phones that share the same processor - SD865

@gpgarcia Bengal is the motherboard code name for BE2012

@MarcelloTogg Yes

Also try with Windows installed to a USB drive as the HD using Rufus. VMs seem to have difficulty with msmDownloadtool.

@MarcelloTogg You have to install the drivers twice - once in adb mode, and again in EDL mode. You also have to enable developer options and USB debugging in android for fastboot.

@oldbutndy @vverve I posted a link in the PM you tagged me in that shows OP support is variable and you should try it more than once

@Leroy_Linux Interesting. You might want to check your SIM tray. BE2028 is supposed to have SIM + SIM/SD Card

@Leroy_Linux Curious whether your second SIM slot works. BE2025 and BE2026 only have one SIM slot

@Leroy_Linux US Mobile. Also works with 5g on T-Mobile and AT&T 5g.

@Leroy_Linux
BE2025 Metro
BE2026 US Unlocked (AT&T)
BE2028 T-Mobile - 2 SIM slots
BE2029 EU/Global - 2 SIM slots

@RandomUser Yes

@vverve It's been a while since I have had to do it, but, you can network unlock a network locked device by removing a system file via adb at first boot. It is a temporary fix that will disappear when android is updated. Whether it will work after flashing UT, I do not know. If it does, it should be persistent, since halium upgrades only happen every now and then.

Search XDA for unlocking network locked devices

@CyBerT Did you download the zip file recommended in the ubports device page? Sounds like you just downloaded msmDownloadtool by itself and not the OS image that should go with it

@oldbutndy

From this point you should just have to wait a week or two and they should provide you the matching code to enter when trying to unlock.

After unlocking, you will need to apply the procedure listed in the N100 forum, to convert the N10 to the global ROM - adjusting for the N10 of course. After that, use the installer to install UT.

You really should join us in the ubports NA Carrier Issues Telegram group as it's easier to explain and help in an interactive manner, and is the current topic being discussed now.

" Gave up, and tried the whole web page from scratch & it worked (uppercase chars, same as terminal window). "

Do you mean you refreshed the page, then re-entered the numbers and letters all upper case?

@bgriffis Next time you need maps, use one of the sensor apps first to get lock (Messwerk, etc). Should lock a lot faster.

@0xecution3r What build? 20.04, 24.04 - stable, RC, daily?
