How to install Ubuntu Touch OS
You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer.

- Unlock the bootloader, please search the internet for instructions
- Install the required Android/stock rom version ¹
- Select the appropriate installer package for your computer
- Plug in your device and follow the on-screen instructions
- The installer will take it from there
¹ Devices generally require a specific version of Android/stock rom to be installed. This depends on the halium version the port is build on. For example, if the port is based on halium 9, make sure you have Android version 9 installed before running the installer.
