I moved my Xperia to 20.04 recently, and everything went well. I am pleased with the outcome, thanks to everybody, who contributed to that!

I wonder if anybody has tried to upgrade to OTA-2 manually, and with what results? (Obviously there is no upgrade offered under the System/update section.)

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hello,

I use 2 BQ devices, Aquaris E5HD and Aquaris M10FHD. I bought them in 2016, and flashed both to the Android version, when Ubuntu stopped the support. Lately I realized, that UBports provides an updated version of UT, and tested it. I was very satisfied to find an alternative for Android, and use both devices day-today. Thank you for your work! However, last week the E5 handy got some problems with the display: the screen began to shutter and greyed out, no entries are possible anymore. Thus I decided to start a new installation. The UBports installer 0.4.18-beta did not work, so I began with the SP_flashtool and the Vegeta01A-image. Which worked and provided me with the old UT-version, including scopes etc., all displayed as usual. After that, I launched the UBports installer, started the process which ran through to the success-message. Unfortunately, when power on is used at the device, the display problem is back again: a shuttering b&w screen "powered by ubuntu" comes up and no further action is possible. Any suggestions that might help?

I flashed the same device a few days ago. Before you run the tool from UBports, you will start the SP_flashtool. In my case that did not start, and I looked into the guidance https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Ubuntu_Touch/flash_tool/. They mention a BROM-error - as recommended there I disabled the modemmanager, and started the SP_flashtool again. This time it ran through, and after the UBports-tool is successful.
