@MrT10001 Thanks, I updated it successfully. My problem with flashing UT was due to another problem actually, I didn't repartition the phone correctly (after a LineageOS installation), but now it's okay.

@ub the installer is open source. I guess one way of finding out the manual steps would be to read the source of the installer and manually reproduce the steps it takes.

I want to flash indeed, for the nexus 5 hammerhead. I want to better understand UT and the process of installing, that's why I like doing things myself. And Ubports needs to download many files when installing, then it would save me time to manually flash UT since I already have the files (images), especially if I want to do the operation several times or on several devices (considering that Ubports is installed on another PC or the cache is cleaned for some reason).
I also like being able to do the stuff without internet connection.

But there is a risk of getting the device bricked, that's why I need to be sure first.

@ub
A MAC address is not hardcoded in silicon.
Have you heard of mac spoofing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_spoofing
It's an attack method used to usurp a legitimate device's identity (MAC address)...
mac spoofing is also necessary for a VM where a single physical device has many virtual ones to differentiate them we need to change their mac address.

So yeah probably hardcoded in the N5's port.

@mrt10001 Not yet. Apparently, it has something to do with my carrier being unable to send international SMS and my SIM card won't get activated.

@kugiigi said in How to manually change the screen orientation ?:

@jezek I created a separate repo. Check the ManualOrientation under Lomiri.

Thank you.

@keneda That sounds interesting, I'll think about it if I get an a/b slots device in the future. For now I think I will use a regular single boot to keep things simple.
