Hello,

I'm trying to flash Plasma Mobile to my Nexus 5 per the instructions at https://plasma-mobile.org/nexus-5/. However I keep encountering an error when the script tries to push the lxc userspace tools (see output below). I've tried reflashing my phone back to the factory image (tried version 5.0.1 and 6.0.1 so far) which gets me back to a working phone but reattempting the Plasma Mobile flashing instructions results in the same failure.

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue and what I might do to resolve/work around it?

Thanks in advance.

Once flashtool fails, can you adb shell into device? If not can you find the version of adb on your system?

Hi Mates !
Same issue
Host : Ubuntu 16.04x64-4.4.0.57 / adb version 1.0.32

I don't know if "adb shell" works because I found this post after flashing back to android...

See You

Any idea

I am not sure.. but quick Google shows this : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2104 ... -no-status

Thanks you bshah for answering
I've mounted a fresh/clean (no mod) install of Ubuntu 16.04 on purpose to avoid issues...
In the link you mentioned, they talk about re-install the SDK Platform-tools.
Do I need it ? It was not precised in tutorial to install it before.
And what about my adb version ? Good one ?

Okay les gars,
Je ne vais même pas prendre la peine de vous écrire en anglais pour vous dire ce que je pense de vous et de votre projet de m****.
De m**** ?! Vous êtes choqués ? Vous ne comprenez pas pourquoi une telle agression verbale ? VRAIMENT ?
Regardez attentivement votre site, vos explications, vos directives afin d'installer votre soi-disant super Plasma-Mobile et......le résultat final !!!
Alors OUI, j'ai le droit de ruer dans les brancards quand on se permet se faire croire sur internet que votre truc est viable et fonctionnel alors que l'installation ne fonctionne même pas...MDR !
On ne vous a rien promis me direz-vous ?! Sauf que, d'une part, SI, vous dîtes que cela fonctionne alors que l'installation en elle même n'aboutit pas.
Et Alors ne direz vous encore ? Aucune promesse de notre part ! Certes...(sic)
Là ou je ne suis pas d'accord, mais pas d'accord du tout, c'est quand vous ne prenez même pas la temps de nous répondre pour nous informer, nous réconforter afin de garder espoir !!!
Du coups, face à votre désinvolture, votre manque de savoir-vivre, d'information et de politesse, je fais fi de la mienne et je vous dis :
ALLEZ VOUS FAIRE FOUTRE !!!

I got it working. I had to run flash-plasma-phone with sudo.

Some off topic , can anyone share the working download link of stripped down version of cm flash file or if anyone have the file please upload it some where and share the download link of it
