Building ubuntu phone from source

 

Hello list,

I'm trying to learn how to build ubuntu phone from source.  Ultimately, I
want to build for a Galaxy S4 but I'm starting with a Nexus 4.

I've successfully built AOSP from source and loaded it onto the device.
I've now moved to compiling Ubuntu Phone itself using instructions located
here:

https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/

I've downloaded the source tree and compiled it and have the roms in the
out/  directory.

I'm able to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then can boot into
recovery mode from the phone.

Next I got rootstock and the vivid touch tar.gz file.

I run the rootstock command, at first it looks good

I get:

transferring rootfs tarball ... [done]
unpacking system-image on device ... [done]
unpacking rootfs tarball to system-image ...

The last message stays on the screen for a minute or so, eventually the
phone goes dark, and I get this message:

error: protocol fault (no status)

Any suggestions?

Thanks
