Of course I'll be happy to help with the french language moderation, as native french speaker....

Unfortunately my German is not so good, and I don't speak Dutch (NL) at all...

@aenima Oh good! Glad to see that now it worked.
And that's right, regardless of the device used, under Ubuntu Touch, you should never relock the bootloader.
At best, OTA updates will fail; at worst, the device will be completely bricked.

@RJDan Yes, Indeed!
And let's not forget those developers who work behind the scenes every day for Ubuntu Touch, notably TheKit, Marius, Mike Gabriel and Maciek, in addition to those mentioned above.

I would also like to mention Moem for her energy and enthusiasm in flying the flag for UBports at every Open Source event in the Netherlands and beyond. App-Lee, who hosts most of the Q&As and has been instrumental in establishing partnerships with our friends at Volla and Brax (right?)

Also all the members of the foundation's board of trustees, without whom UBports would not exist.
And so many others that I am forgetting or simply do not know, whether they are application developers or part of the porting team...

Hats off to you all!

@thomasf There was an app before to transfer files via Bluetooth from a device to another one: https://open-store.io/app/ubtd.fourloop2002

But if I remember well, its development has ended, so that the app is no longer compatible with Focal nor Noble. So by now there are no known options. (Correct me if I'm wrong).

@XPran OpenStore is the default app store in Ubuntu Touch. You should have it on the left dock of Lomiri.

Open the app and search for "WayDroid Helper". As Kenada said, Ubuntu Touch is not designed to play with apt or the terminal. This may brick your device....

You can first try to install UT again with UBports Installer. Don't check "Wipe" neither "Bootstrap partition". Then, you will restore Ubuntu Touch with all your data.

If this doesn't work, you can try the following method, but warn that it's quite dangerous if you delete any wrong file, and that can lead to a non working device. So do this ONLY if you know what you are doing and assume the risk....

First, list all residues of the OpenStore:

$ sudo find /opt -iname *openstore*

and

$ sudo find /opt -iname *openstore-team*

Note all related packages (warn that it's not attached to another app)

Then delete all those related files like:

$ sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo rm -rf /opt/click.ubuntu.com/.click/users/phablet/'openstore_file'.ubports 

(Replace 'openstore_file' with the name of the package you have listed / check the exact path as well).

Repeat this with all the remaining files related to the OpenStore.

Then, Re-install Ubuntu Touch using UBports Installer without checking "Wipe Data" nor "Bootstrap partition".

OpenStore should re-appear at the first reboot.

@Wheeling-Pigeon
Indeed. And either 9S/Pro/India...All share the same motherboard hardware&firmware + same built image...

Indeed, this is a general issue with 20.04 OTA-9, and is not related to VollaX.

Some apps fail to update. I guess that there's something regarding with 24.04 compatibility layer...

For now I ignore those updates, and will wait for the next OTA-10 / 24.04-1.0 to update them again.

Thank you @peat_psuwit for all this information.

So, how will the update be rolled out to users on the stable channel? (OTA-9). Will they first receive the update to 20.04 OTA-10, then immediately afterwards the update to 24.04-1.0? Or will they have the choice between the 20.04 OTA update and the 24.04-1.0 update?
I must admit that I myself am a bit lost in all this

Anyway, thanks for all this hard job, I guess a stressful time for all of your team!

@Zardozor25 Usually on Fairphone you might press and hold Power and - Vol- until bootloader appears, then select "Fastboot" mode (1rest option) with the Power button.

@wolfgang1 Ubuntu Touch system updates may sometimes include a new version of WayDroid.

Alternatively, you can update the WayDroid image by opening the terminal and typing:

sudo waydroid upgrade

I believe you can also do this directly in the WayDroid system settings (LineageOS). However, it has been a while since I last tried this.

In any case, there should be no loss of data. (As with any update, there is always a small risk that something could go wrong.)

@messayisto You don't need any special skills to create an issue on Gitlab. This platform is open to all users.

Just go to this page: (create an account the first time)

https://gitlab.com/dekkan/dekko/-/issues

Then fill out the form with as many details as possible.

This is accessible to everyone so that users can report issues.
I myself have created several issues on Gitlab even though I have absolutely no IT skills....

*I have provided you with a direct link to Gitlab for the Dekko2 application. Of course, each project has its own section.

@MrT10001 Moderator's note: I am moving this topic to the “Off-topic” section. Thank you for your understanding.

You can also try to reinstall with UBports Installer and NOT check "Wipe" option.
It will reinstall the latest build without erase your data.

@MrT10001 Sorry, I can't help more on this.... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@shigosu The Stock Android ROMs for Xiaomi can be found here:

https://xmfirmwareupdater.com/miui/

Then search for your model, right version (if exist), and choose the Fastboot ROM.

@lsitongia Maybe @TotalSonic would give you a feedback. If I'm right, he does use a Redmi Note Pro in the USA without any issue. Even phone calls now work with VoLTE.

@lsitongia I would doubt that a Redmi Note 9 Pro would be banned from AT&T network (?). Even Fairphone devices do work (I did travel to Canada and US with my Fairphone 4 in Augst 2023 and I could use it in Roaming mode on AT&T without any issue).

So maybe something related to a specific device configuration?

@arjune Maybe you can get some help through this Telegram group:

https://t.me/ubports_porting

Did you try the other way?
Long press the power button and click on "screenshot".

Not sure it will change anything, but it's worth a try.
