Do you do that on the initial installation, or after doing the phablet-flash cdimage-touch? As I understand it, it should be done initially and should be a full install of the RO image, as the cdimage-touch is the RW version, if you need to poke around with the guts of the system for dev work, BUT I saw somewhere online where someone had done first the cdimage-touch install, then the ubuntu-system image, one after the other, as if the latter were an upgrade or patch to the former? I suspect that what they actually did was flash with one image, then overwrite it with another. This then begs the question - if they are the two different version that I suspect they are, which one does the manual process install - checking the wiki again, I think it's the cdimage, which explains why the OTA didn't work - am I correct? So, this returns to my original issue, am I ok to try to phablet the ubuntu-system image onto my phone in the state in which it is in? And if, as Fabian said, the phablet doesn't work with the system in this state, is there a way in which I can get the ubuntu-system image onto my system so I can then install updates, rather than reinstalling for the latest version?

But strangely I get plenty of updated packages on "apt-get upgrade" immediately after upgrading anyway. When I first screwed my device I managed to recover it with the manual installation routine described in the wiki. phablet-flash refused to work in that state, but at least it didn't make things worse. YMMV, so if you want to be sure, wait for the pros to answer ;). I'm just a beginner on these matters.

I have a Nexus 4 that I tried to load up with Touch, I had some problems using phablet-flash with cdimage-touch and ubuntu-system so I ended up following the manual install process on the wiki, and that loaded it up ok. However I was having problems running the update from the software menu (a 308Mb download) so I thought I might be able to use apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to do the same thing, but that only downloaded a small set of updates. Hence I returned to try that update from the settings, but it didn't seem to get anywhere (not to the install update and restart option that I'd seen before) so I restarted the phone. to try again. Unfortunately the phone will no longer boot - it jsut sits on the "Google" screen, so either I shouldn't have done the apt-get or the settings update _was_ actually doing something and was part the way through. Either way, my phone needs a reload. > I can get to the Ubuntu recovery console and have tried clearing the cache and performing a factory reset, so though neither of those help, at least I should be able to recover things. My question is: what's the best way to reload Touch on there, in this situation? Should I try the phablet-flash ubuntu-system or should I manually push the image file back over? If the latter, do I need to do both the saucy-preinstalled-touch-armel+mako.zip and saucy-preinstalled-touch-armhf.zip or just one (I would guess the second) of them? I thought I should check which is the best way, so I don't make things worse. > > Also, regarding the OTA update, are there issues with running that (I know there isn't a progress bar) or do I just need to make sure I keep my phone active while it downloads, so the wireless doesn't drop? > > Thanks > Phil -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
