Summary of Saturday's Mobile Installfest



Dear DebConf community,

on Saturday we had the Mobile Installfest.
A couple of people came bringing their phones,
while others just wanted to see what all the fuss is about :)

I'd also like to give a special thanks to
Alex, Arnaud, Manuel and Yifei who were kind enough to help out!

Now I have to admit, I may be fuzy on some details,
so I invite everyone who participated to correct me!

- MSM7201a (HTC Dream):
  At the end of the workshop the Setting
  for enabling ADB has been found
- VollaPhone X: 
  had some Ubuntu Touch/UBpports/Sailfish OS running; 
  tried installing Droidian, following the instructions
  => currently doesn't boot anymore :(
  Further investigation and unbricking needed
- OnePlus 6:
  successfully installed Mobian \o/
- Librem 5:
  This unit had an issue with the USB-C port
  (Cable would not go in completely)
  Multiple attempts at flashing any image
  were unsuccesful as we would regularly run into timeouts
  or other USB errors :(
- PinePhone (?)
  While I don't know if they were successfully flashed
  I would assume so, given that it's straight-forward to flash
- Xiaomi Mi A2lite
  Not much success here either,
  it appears to be in a soft-bricked state,
  claiming that it no longer holds a partitions table :-(
- Asus Transformed Pad (asus-tf103c)
  A x86 Android Tablet, I don't quite know how far we got to be honest


It was a pretty nice event and I can imagine doing this again sometime.

Finally, I want to thank Guido 
for planting the idea of a Mobile Installfest in my head,
all the participants and, of course, the various DebConf teams
that made all of this possible!


See you all in the hopefully not too distant future,
  Evangelos
