          @4htet , if You read again the steps I wrote:

          • Reboot to Recovery, so ADB recovery is active , flash from Your Desktop:

          path/to/halium-install -p ut path/to/rootfs.tar.gz path/to/system.img


          Explain:

          When You are in recovery mode and connect the USB cable, the ADB recovery mode is active. (I suppose You already have android SDK, ADB , fastboot tools...)
          To check use command:
          adb devices
          in fastboot :
          fastboot devices

          so in this step won't flash from TWRP GUI, just use TWRP for adb, and reboot.

          How to flash, was specified already by @Danct12 , read here:
          http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/installing-16-04.html

          the basic is ->
          path/to/halium-install -p ut path/to/rootfs.tar.gz path/to/system.img,

          Best regards,
          Alex

            @aceclan Thanks for your reply. I followed your instructions. Now , when the terminal tell me to set password, this message is showing continuously. "chroot: failed to run command 'passwd' : Exec format error failed, please try again"

            Edit: Now I know that I cant chroot into rootfs on my redmi4x which means qemu-user-static is not working on my Ubuntu 19.04. Still can`t find the fix for that.

              Hey, I'm having some problems getting my 4X to boot into UT. I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and downloaded latest System and Boot image from the Github. I also unlocked my bootloader and flashed newest TWRP. After that, I flashed Halium-Boot through fastboot. After booting back to TWRP( to get ADB to work) I started normally flashing with halium-install.
              Everything seems to be fine. It asked me for password and flashed system and rootfs to /data. After that while trying to boot the OS, it just locks up on Mi Logo and on dmesg -w I see:
              Screenshot from 2020-03-09 19-57-47.png
              Here's the last message from Halium-Install:
              Screenshot from 2020-03-09 19-59-03.png
              I really don't know what's the problem here. I tried reformatting /data, /system, /cache etc. and same results, I also tried installing LineageOS 16 (Official) and install ut on top of that but still the same thing.
              Any help is appriciated!

                @BlackOtton Well you are in emergency telnet mode, maybe you should use telnet to connect to the shown IP and see what dmesg says there ^^

                  @4htet Make sure qemu-user-binfmt is installed on your host.

                    @BlackOtton Is your data partition f2fs? If it is then change it back to ext4.

                          @4htet , I also had many problems with halium-install, I've spent a lot of time to figuring out , using manjaro linux ...

                          I've installed the : qemu-arm-static , binfmt-qemu-static, simg2img from simg-tools package

                          and changed a line in function setup_passwd() ,from "halium-install/functions/distributions.sh"

                             do_until_success sudo chroot "$ROOTFS_DIR" passwd $user
                                  to
                             sudo chroot "$ROOTFS_DIR" passwd $user
                          

                          on the halium install script are described the dependencies:

                            Hello @Danct12 ,

                            Flashing again Your last build, Mon 09 MAR, without any wipe -> all my settings were kept, this is normal? This is a feature? ... because of user data is stored in santoni:/data/user-data/phablet ?

                            Another problem network interface from computer disappearing during the UB boot.
                            Appearing for a short time then disappear. 😞

                                @aceclan Your home directory should stay intact, I flashed my nexus 5 on legacy build with halium 7.1 build and everything worked fine.

And one more thing, my language BURMESE letters are not showing in sms. Showing only square characters. I tried to install fonts and it is saying read only file system. Any IDEA?

                                      @4htet Keyboard not popping up at Google page is probably a UBports error, the same issue is on Oneplus 3.

                                      And read-only file system, you can try sudo mount -o rw,remount / to remount the rootfs as root.

                                      But your language issue is weird, it could be a UBports issue unless someone tested it on official supported device.

                                        @bisaalz Format your /data partition as ext4.

                                          Same for me, format data as ext4 does not help. I am unable get any logs, dmesg -w on PC does not show anything, /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops file does not exist. I am unable to boot your recovery, sudo fastboot boot recovery.img show only mi logo. I tried to downgrade firmware, compile system by my own, many recovery images. But I am unable to boot this (and recovery from that post too). Some people on XDA have similar problem. I was using lastest MIUI 11.2 before.

                                            @Danct12 maybe we should update blobs, I am not sure what else to do.

                                              @danqo6 Perhaps you could try to flash a LOS 14.1 rom first and see if LOS loads.
