How to upgrade with new ROMs

General Discussion
1

Received my today, tried Android, everything looks fine, the device is so small, so far everything is great…

When will you upload a video instruction tutorials of how to install Ubuntu on eMMC, i want to get rid of Android, i want to use it as a desktop pc, replacing my Windows machine.

I did see your instructions, but i am a little scared that i may brick the device, video would make it much clearer.

I am not so familiar with linux terminal, i use gui whenever i can, i am a noob when it comes to Linux.

I did use many custom Android roms on my phones, but as i can see, the procedure is much different than installing rom with twrp or cwm recovery.

I upgraded my vim2 64GB via usb on w10 pc, but:

  1. on Android session there is only 4GB of free space, and I don’t see the others 54GB.
  2. How can I reboot in Ubuntu partition? Must have I a Vim2’ s remote for do it?
    I flashed this image 4,7GB "VIM2_DualOS_Nougat_Ubuntu-16.04_V171028"
    Thanks a lot for yours help.

The others 54GB is for ubuntu.

  • Multi-OS Switch

    • First boot: Android OS
    • Android → Ubuntu: Long press Power button, choose Reboot to Ubuntu menu
    • Ubuntu —> Android: choose System->Reboot to Android menu
    • Restart memory for DualOS: will boot into last O/S when run reboot

In my opinion 40GB and 20GB where my best choise. Ok that is.

Hi,
Your links with Upgrade guidance for Khadas vim are broken! Does you have new ones?

You can look at the http://docs.khadas.com/vim1/ and http://docs.khadas.com/vim2/.
There are many upgrade guidances on it.
