Hi, did you have Android 10 installed on the device, before using the installer?

Hi, did you have Android 10 installed on the device, before using the installer?

It was Android 12 IIRC, as that's the current version of fairphone OS. But I'll have to check the sequence of steps I made.

I think it was

• Factory reset phone, it's running Fairphone OS/Android 12
• Attempted install ubports, it failed with message mentioned in this issue.
• Installed e/OS: succeeded - it's running Android 10
• Attempted to install ubports again§, it failed with the same message
• Reinstalled e/OS and it succeeded.
• Installed LineageOS and it succeeded - that's running Android 13.

Why would the version of Android installed on the phone before ubports matter? It's reformatting all disks with ext4 anyway as far as I can tell.

§(dunno why, if it didn't succeed the first time, don't expect it to suddenly work on second attempt, but was getting a feel for the process of installing own system on it, so might have made a mistake in the first attempt at flashing a phone).

Ok. You need to have installed a Android 10 version of Fairphone, before you proceed with the installer. Its about the vendor partition.

When the FP3 gets selected in the installer, you get prompted with a dialog, which tells you the dependencies needed. There is a link to Download the Android 10 version, which you can flash. After that, you can install Ubuntu touch.
