Ubports OTA won't work on my braveheart

[Dmytro]

I've tried for a week now. I've followed the ubports install instructions on multiple sd cards and on the emmc using jumpdrive. Nothing works.
I get a ubuntu logo, some non working progress dots, a flickering screen. Sometimes I get to the setup app, it crashes before I can finish.


I had ubports running well on the emmc before the ota img was available, what's gone wrong?

There were memory frequency change in u-boot. Check relevant thread

I also had problems with images with OTA. The solution was to upload the first OTA image to the microSD card:
https://ci.ubports.com/job/rootfs/job/ro...emimage/1/
Then naturally update via OTA. Now everything works fine.

This worked for me too. Thanks for posting this workaround.

I was in the same situation described in this post. No issue booting ubports rootfs-pinephone and other images (mobian, postmarketOS) but the other ubports rootfs-pinephone-systemimage images I had tried failed the initial boot.
