Ubuntu Touch with OTA updates

[Mangled]

Are you able to flash to emmc with the jump drive?

Yes, that's what I did with #7. And then kept updating.

But now I managed to mess up my UT installation. Tried various things from the Open Store and can certainly recommend Launcher Modular, lots of nice widgets.

Then I tried to run a game ("Lord of the Knights") and the phone got stuck. Trying to reboot now only gives me the Pine logo and then a row of @^@^@^@^

It goes to show we definitely need a timeshift/recovery/backup feature. It had crossed my mind before that I might get lost if I cannot boot into UT.

Will have to try something like Mobian from a card to clear the cache, maybe.

UPDATE: Booting into Mobian and then back into UT did the trick. This reminds me to report an odd opservation: Even if you do a cold boot, the content of the previous screen display briefly shows up. So it seems some code was stuck somewhere in the phone hardware and is now cleared.

All back to normal, but need to think about backups.

Thanks, I will give #7 a try.
