Hi
I will try to sum up the things that Oren & Co over at
https://t.me/utonpine
is doing and the things you need to do to have the best exprience on your pine64 device.
The focus at the moment will be on Pinephone, Pinephone Pro, Pinetab and Pinetab 2.
This post will be updated when new things gets developed.
PINEPHONE & PINEPHONE PRO
You need Tow-boot on the emmc to install Ubuntu touch on your phone:
https://tow-boot.org
These procedures is still valid to install UT on your phone:
https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/...stall-3889
Here you will find the latest version to install:
https://ci.ubports.com/job/focal-hybris-...ob/master/
From Oren on Telegram channel:
These are our images, ready for your usage, building daily. I’m still figuring out how we will have these distributed. I’ll be updating my gitlab page, the pine64 wiki, and the ubports wiki in the next few days pointing to here, most likely.
You can select last successful artifacts or click on the “+View” button, then click to download the .raw.xz file of your respective device. then flash it in the same way as our downstream images.
Please note: these are still r/w and still have to be upgraded through apt. However, you should notice multiple improvements with ContentHub, the modem, and even GPS support.
For the moment apt is working on these devices.
To update your phone, run this in the terminal on your phone:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
Enter your password and press enter
This is done between the releases that Oren makes on his Gitlab page.
To have the latest version of UT, always make a new, fresh install of the latest version from Orens Gitlab page.
These are not pushed through apt. This will persist as long as we don’t have OTA on the phones.
It is recommended to update the modem(SDK) and its firmware(ADSP).
You need to have ADB and Fastboot installed on your PINEPHONE to install these:
https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pine.../tag/0.7.2
https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pine...ARRIERS.md
The Modem-SDK release version 0.7.4 is more buggy/instable than 0.7.2.
The modem is like a computer and it talks adb and fastboot, that is why you need adb and fastboot installed on your phone.
If your carrier is not listed in the table on the ADSP-page, you’ll have to check which firmware that works best for your carrier. I don’t know when the table over the carriers was last updated, newer versions of the firmware could be a better experience.
If your carrier isn’t listed and you install a firmware that works with your carrier, please make a pr so it gets on the table.
On this Github there is a lot of help to get things set up in the right/best way, Such as Flashing, Settings, How to, etc. Please read it.
Oren have made a Help guide to help you along the way of tinkering with your phone/tablet:

PINETAB & PINETAB 2
According to the 0.8 release, both the Pinetab and Pinetab 2 have U-boot preloaded, they don’t use Tow-boot to boot.
Here is the latest version of UT, 0.10 in the writing:
https://gitlab.com/ook37/pinephone-pro-d...ases/v0.10
Please leave a comment if there is something missing ?
