@atarilinux With the exception of VoLTE, the P3a with the current 20.04 port is the finest example of what UT on a phone can be. I wish you the best of success with your updated port. Join us in the NA Issues UT Telegram group, and you'll have testers waiting to help when the time comes.

@Joko If you are in North America, you should use 10.5.3. But if you are not, 10.5.2 is the correct version.

IRT your WiFi, in terminal check nmcli -g and nmcli -r and see if your WiFi is in an unmanaged state. You can also check WiFi with dialer code ##4636## using android, but not with UT

@FrostDaemon It might boot up correctly if you power off then try again. Same happened on the OP N100. Took two tries to get it to boot

@Joko Absolutely DO NOT re-lock the bootloader. UT is not set up for that, and you will likely brick your phone. Re-locking has been investigated, but it hasn't been a priority.

The 10.5.5 image is what the folks at xda-developers released for Android ROMs. Someone in the thread said it was good regarding UT. I just compiled my own since I've had to do this for other OnePlus phones as well. I do not have a place to host the re-compiled file I did. I am open to suggestions of where to put it if you do not wish to re-compile it yourself.

@Joko Did you just update to 24.04-1.0 ? My WiFi no longer works on that. Still does on 20.04 stable

If you have no audio at all, it is likely because the hooks in HAL do not match with the kernel you have. I would try with the patched 10.5.3 kernel.

@Joko Glad you got it figured out. Installer ran smoothly with no errors, and all hardware working on 10.5.5? Have you tried to activate VoLTE?, and how did that go?

Well that was a special level of hell... But, just as OP stated, using opodecrypt worked. For those with a Metro N100, you can just use this to flash to the global firmware. It is already patched:

If you are using a T-mobile N100, you will still need to follow the guide here if it is still locked (T-mobile unlocked devices if requested at the time): The AT&T N100 (very hard to find) came unlocked and is the global model.

You do not need to contact OnePlus for an unlock pin. Converting to the global firmware will allow you to unlock the device. You do have to use the patched msmDownloadtool to do it, or patch it yourself as described above

Once you have it flashed to global, unlock the bootloader, then on reboot enable developer options and use the UT installer. I set the options to repartition as OP did, and it failed. Retried without the partitions option and it worked - with the caveat that I had to run the installer multiple times because the connection to the server kept dropping. That might not happen to you. Also, the UT installer will error out with a message about setting slot A or B, and an error about the filesystem - hit ignore both times and it will still flash the device. Once again, it may take multiple tries to achieve success. But, when it boots, everything works, except VoLTE which I am troubleshooting.

Also, it does not work with a Verizon sim out of the box, but does with T-mobile.

@Keneda Just giving options. He wants no maps, no camera, etc. Some of UTs phone ports do not have working camera, but most do. Pinephone and Librem, as you know, have physical switches to disable camera, etc. He could just physically remove the camera from any phone as well, although that might have unintended effects depending on how it's wired.

@simply I would suggest a Pinephone or Librem 5/Liberty phone or one of the Mobian/Droidian or Postmarketos phones

@diddub Try Sapot browser, or one of the browsers available in SnapzOr

@jhayar0719 I have one, free, if you are in North America. Shipping and customs makes it not worthwhile to send overseas

@metalmyles That's because it's using 2g for calls which is increasingly becoming unavailable as T-mobile shuts down the rest of their 2g network.

We have VoLTE solutions being worked on, but nothing available for general use at the moment. When that changes it will be announced everywhere.

@Inali N6P does not have a 20.04 build - currently unmaintained

@karibooooo Did you try using Waydroid and mobile data only?

Is GPS still working for Pixel 3a users?

Mine was working before the RC, now doesn't error, but also doesn't get a lock. Currently sitting unsuspend for two hours and no lock

@Frayedknot If your device is a P3a, several of us have noticed this. It's something to do with UT, not the carrier. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it, so haven't filed a bug report for it yet.

@Timespansoul PM me either here or Telegram

@Timespansoul I loaned them out to a group that wanted to show UT at the local makerfaire. If I get them back, I'll let you know. But, I expect them not to.

@MOVEQ You can find android 9 and later android builds (some with device tree) on Xda-developers N6P page

@muellw Only the driver layer that allows the hardware to function remains. If even that bothers you, there is always the Pinephone either with Ubuntu Touch, or PostmarketOS, or Mobian

Or other mainlined phones supported by PostmarketOS, Mobian, Kupfer, or Lune
