[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEYE13:
Hey all!

Yesterday my new Nexus 4 arrived and I flashed Ubuntu Touch on it following the official instruciotns (on wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install) using

phablet-flash cdimage-touch -b

It worked like a charm. But today I figured out that I should use "ubuntu-system" instead, because I would be able to update directly out of Ubuntu Touch using my phone.

Unfortunately this didn't work.

At first I tried to use this command

phablet-flash ubuntu-system -b

but this didn't work.

max@max-x201t:~$ sudo phablet-flash ubuntu-system -b
usage: phablet-flash [-h] ...
phablet-flash: error: unrecognized arguments: -b

Google couldn't help me :eek: so I tried it without the

-b

At the beginning everything looked good and basically it was done

INFO:phablet-flash:Installation complete

but than it started to use the recovery!

Here is the full Terminal output:

So where is the problem? How do I switch over to the ubuntu-system build?

Looking forward to your help!

Greetings

edit:

I although checked my current phablet-tools version but it's up to date

max@max-x201t:~$ dpkg -s phablet-tools | grep Version
Version: 1.0+13.10.20130909.2-0ubuntu1

edit2:

Found a newer version and updated but the problem is still the same

max@max-x201t:~$ dpkg -s phablet-tools | grep Version
Version: 1.0+13.10.20130910.4-0ubuntu1
