@Sander - Wow. Thank you so much!! This is amazing!! I never thought to try to tap somewhere else. This is absolutely awesome and makes using the terminal a pleasant experience, even on a phone! Thanks again for sharing this gem!!

I was able to receive an unlock from OnePlus for BE2028. I was asked to send a proof of purchase (Amazon). Can you sell the eBay version to someone else and try to purchase from Amazon?

btw, it took about 2 weeks from when I screenshot the IMEI, serial, unlock code, etc before I receive the unlock token. (highly recommend screenshot vs talk over phone, I lost 3 additional weeks due to error in translation).

Please note: it works on T-Mobile, but starting next year they are deprecating 4G in USA with complete deprecation in 2028 (for Starlink satellite ... not dead zones any where it world!). I think from the VOLTE thread someone got it working on a Verizon subsidiary, so that could extend usage further. Not sure which one though.

Not sure if this impacts your decision. I'm going to use it as long as I can and try to stay Ubuntu Touch on my next phone too.

Model: OnePlus Nord N10 5g
UbuntuTouch ver: 24.04-2.x
Country (region): USA (Southeast)
Mobile Operator: T-Mobile (VOLTE, call, text, internet, success!)
tried Ting first, but failed for me

said in OnePlus just informed me they will NOT unlock bootloader for a device on bought on Ebay.:

@Leroy_Linux US Mobile. Also works with 5g on T-Mobile and AT&T 5g.

Nice! Thanks for the info! Will look to those carriers if the need arises.

@Leroy_Linux Curious whether your second SIM slot works. BE2025 and BE2026 only have one SIM slot

Mine also only has 1 SIM slot (the 2nd slot is microSD).

@ma
Thanks for your suggestion. Things are working now since downgrading to 24.04.1.x RC.

I think the 24.04.2.x version had several things in read-only mode (only guessing from reading the logs that were generated). Even when trying commands as sudo, received similar errors "need root access, read access, etc".

Appreciate your input.

@idonthatevests

Thank you very much for the suggestion. I downgraded to 24.04.1.x RC and confirmed that VoLTE is working. Just curious if there where one can find notes with specific functionality in each version available? I tried to look for this but only found general info (and in threads for this phone it was mistaken that only 2.x was where VoLTE was functioning).

Again, thanks so much. Also, Waydroid installation was successful (using the Waydroid helper) on this 24.04.1.x RC version. Thank you very much once again! Much appreciated.

@pparent
Thanks for the info. I've been following the other threads and your great work to help make this available on Ubuntu Touch! Your work is so greatly appreciated! I look forward to helping out where I can. Cheers.

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yeah, I'm running latest version of Ubuntu Touch (UT) for VOLTE as for my particular phone model, stable doesn't have functioning VOLTE. As a phone (talk/text), everything works well on the latest UT for me. I was experiencing errors with Waydroid that I didn't see in searching other posts, so wanted to inquire (wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong since it was my first time with Waydroid).

I was hoping I could get Signal working well but perhaps I need to downgrade to stable or be patient/wait.

Any users out there having success with Waydroid on the latest? or experiencing similar issues?

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'm always up to learn more, to try things out, help with the improvement of things, etc.

Hello UT friends,

New to Waydroid and a bit stuck. When I try to run "waydroid init", I get an error stating that "init needs root access".

What I've done so far. From Open Store, installed Waydroid Helper, clicked install. Seemed to go well. I see the Waydroid icon as an installed app. However, when I click Waydroid app, the phone shows what seems to be the startup screen (Ubports ... 5 dots... it blinks through 2 times). I have to key in my phone unlock code. (seems that trying to start Waydroid looks like it reboots or restarts phone?).

However, no Waydroid. From Terminal, when I type "waydroid init" I get an error saying that "init requires root access". I tried the commands from the main Waydroid thread, but still not working.
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/5907/open-ubuntu-touch-to-all-android-applications/115

I've uninstalled from Waydroid helper and tried to reinstall, but same issues, same error. Any thoughts? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

(Running OnePlus Nord N10 5g, Ubuntu Touch 24.04.2.x)

Cheers, Leroy

@gpatel-fr This is fantastic man! I didn't know about the hamburger option then Scr. thank you! Thank You! THANK YOU!! This is doing exactly what I want it to do. (I just have to go to hamburger each time I open terminal, but at least there is this option). Great idea too on setting up ssh and can connect to phone from actual computer and type with ease on full size keyboard. Thanks again!

Hello UT comrades,
I use Linux for my daily computer and it is so nice when in terminal to press "Tab" to complete filenames, directory names, etc (vs typing out name completely OR misspelling by 1 char). It would be even more amazing when in terminal on Ubuntu Touch phone.

Does anyone know of a way to modify one of the keys on my Ubuntu Touch keyboard to become "Tab"?

This would be amazing. Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.

Cheers, Leroy

@MarcelloTogg said in Difficulties with downgrading my OnePlus Nord:
always fail because the MSM tool can't establish a connection.

@mrt10001 - First, just wanna say, YOU ROCK!!! Your input and support to users in other threads is the only reason I was able to get mine to work. So, just wanted to express my sincere GRATITUDE for what you do. You're a hero in my book.

@marcellotogg - since I did this recently, I think I had a similar error to what you are describing. For me, the Project ID code for your MSM Tools image needs to match the version of Nord 10 that you have. From my notes, I had the BE2028 variant of the phone and the project that worked for me was 20888. If I remember, BE2026=Global=Project 20886, BE2029=Europe=Project 20889, I think BE2027 is TMobile Metro variant and maybe Project 20887 (but not sure on this one).
