Another pouch I made with 2 mm thick leather. With some holes for sound and led. Previous design of cases/ pouches: here and here.

There is! Bus 002 Device 002, the Qualcomm Gobi Wireless Modem nonsense is a phone in EDL mode.

There are a lot of them out there, there's bound to be some failures. The only thing that seems somewhat common are display/touch issues. I wouldn't get too worried :).

It's certainly the phone yeah, worth a try. Since it's unable to connect to the device at all on the windows machine I suspect most likely some silly USB issue to be causing that.

@MickH- if you try again the process, please be sure to also restart the phone by holding power button more than 15 seconds, then wait for the device to come up. That is because in EDL mode, it will only work once, so an interrupted process will result in a fault next time. Basically that is a very simple protocol, so the restore tool will upload and run an own code first on the phone, then it tries to process the required commands through that own code.

It can be tricky to get right. Try opening the tool and the file, then plug in your phone when it is ready to flash. Also EDL is sensitive to USB hardware. Try different ports. USB 2 is better than USB 3. Good luck!

Going to give it a try. Let you know how it goes soon. 👍

Yes! Stop fooling around and hit flash. Not like you're going to make it any more broken.

Yesterday I got a response from the support. So they do answer emails, it just takes time.

Last week Liangchen Chen posted a video of a Fxtec Pro1 running Ubuntu Touch on Twitter https://twitter.com/chenliangchen/status/1272903474393604100 containing a link to an installable zip-file. I managed to install it and wanted to share the procedure, which is pretty equal to installing Sailfish OS: https://community.fxtec.com/topic/2467-community-build32120updated-jan-20-sailfish-os-for-fxtec-pro1/ . Text below is mostly copypaste from over there ... Most important info first: Installation process requires that you wipe your current OS and user data! Download Ubuntu Touch

Dear fellow physical keyboard fans, I have a somewhat noob question, but couldn't find an existing answer to it - so, sorry if it's a duplicate question. Does anybody know if the pinout of the 3,5mm audio jack is CTIA (i.e. Left, Right, Ground, Mic) or OMTP (i.e. Left, Right, Mic, Ground)? Thanks in advance for your answers! Max Gräf

So much time have passed since I have payed for pro1 (#48416 from 20-th January 2020), but still no tracking info available. After contacting support around 1 month ago, they said, that tracking info will be available "in the next couple of days", but status is still "Processing". Now support is not even responding to emails. This attitude towards customers is simply bad. I didn't issue a refund yet only because I really like idea of pro1's keyboard.

Really? I thought that was the laptop's built in WiFi. So you think it's worth a try?

@netman Nothing showing in lsusb🤔

@Chris "We have added your order to our list for shipping next week, and we will update you with the tracking details most likely on Monday."

nothing if you run lsusb?

Thanks for all the help and suggestions so far guys. I'll keep trying any suggestions you make (short of opening the device up). I did try connecting the phone to my Linux laptop (ZorinOS) but it didn't even detect it.

This is a scary stuff! Why Pro1s are dying like this

@Ivan Raiskiy what did they say !??! lol ... I havent opened a support ticket yet ... just sitting here with my fingers crossed

I'd try a different cable / port I've had problems with flashboot doing the same thing device is there when initially trying it then disappears. Also seen that with the incorrect driver as well. Do you need to install a specific EDL driver for this maybe? (I wouldn't trust whatever windows gives you automatically)

OK so after clicking "Flash" the progress bar pops up briefly and then I get this:- 😒

@MickHhope it works GL! Can I suggest running the factory testing suite if it does?

Just to confirm: Is this all correct and ready to go?

Firefox does indeed lock rotation occasionally. I see it on my 1+7pro sometimes. You just need to kill and restart it. Also, I generally like to keep some diagnostic tools on all my devices which can help figure out issues like these. Sensor Box (for all sensors including rotation), GPS Test, and NFC Tools frequently come in handy.

It's still on my TODO list. But I am writing an Android based backup/restore solution first. This will be much more flexible than TWRP. Check the AICP-Q thread.

A brief update... I've been working on a backup/restore solution for Linux (plus an Android app to drive it) that will be able to do full backup/restore, similar to TWRP. This is a bit of an involved project, but it will be well worth it in the end. It will be cosmetically similar to tar on the command line to make it familiar to use, but it is an entirely new code base. Some of the features include: A client/server mode for use in Android and other privilege sensitive environments. Built-in compression and encryption support. The Android app will mo

I'm on Lineage and sticky shift works more on an app by app basis. WhatsApp, Messenger, Firefox, Discord... they all work fine with sticky shift. But then I write a mail in GMail and suddenly I have to hold down shift again to get the next keypress to be upper case.

The main drawback of LOS over Android is that some apps may not work. Disney+ for instance or some app doing extra security checks, like banking app or Microsoft Authenticator maybe?

@Ivan Raiskiy I am in the same boat as you ... ordered Jan 22nd ... was hoping I would get notice in the next batch ( end of Oct ) ... but they have focus'd on new product release instead!

The announcement of the Pro1-X suggests that UbuntuTouch could very well become a first-class citizen on Pro1/Pro1-X. So I assume that some development effort must have been going on on the side of the Ubuntu port. I wonder why there are no news on this. Is anyone on this forum following UBPorts development? Are there other sources of information?

I made a leather pouch for the Pro1. I used cow leather, thickness about 2 mm. All the parts are glued with super glue gel adhesive which remains flexible. I made some holes to see the led and to get stereo sound! There is no flap for closing, just a gap that opens to let the device in and out. see pictures for the details. If you want to try something similar, make sure that the inner part is about 1 mm wider than the phone to ensure it’s easy to slide it out.

My phone is stuck on the main screen wtih the Pro1 logo at the top, and Ubuntu touch logo at the bottom, but won't do anything else. Do I (totally technically illiterate need to restore the Pro1 basics and then start over with the Ubuntu installer?

Hey all, i requested a refund for my order on 13 May 2020. The Support worte to me on 2 Sep 2020 : "Thanks for confirming. We've submitted this over to our finance team, and we'll get back to you shortly." Since then i didnt get any response even after writing multiple mails... can you please look into this case @Erik. I need the money back till 31.12.2020 cause i want to close the connected bank account with the end of this year. Please any admin or Fx-Tec staff help me...waited over 6 months now...
