        @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.

            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.

                  @danqo6 , from the fastboot mode, check first:
                  $ fastboot devices
                  330915847d15 fastboot

                  then download and use: Latest TWRP

                  $ fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-santoni.img
                  Sending 'boot.img' (24844 KB) OKAY [ 0.783s]
                  Booting OKAY [ 0.715s]

                  After Backup ALL and copy TWRP folder to Your PC,
                  full format: Wipe/Format Data is needed to remove encryption

                  Screenshot_2020-03-18-17-10-59.png

                  After flash system.img and rootfs.tar.gz don't forget to boot again to fastboot and flash hallium-boot.img:
                  fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img

                        Is it possible to build the boot image with anbox support?

                          @bisaalz Please try to flash LineageOS 14.1 (just that, don't install Ubuntu), and reboot.

                          If LineageOS 14 boots, can you try to install Ubuntu again? Perhaps this is needed first, I have not updated my device firmware for months now.

                                        Hi @Danct12
                                        I followed your steps but I cannot get it working (as contrary to LOS 16).

                                            @Danct12 all LOS 14.1 roms I found works. ( ROMs before official LOS) I have twrp 3.3.1, I formatted data as ext4. I have 3GB version of redmi 4x, my LCD display was changed once. My logs seems ok, but I am unable to get even telnet working. Other my halium 14.1 devices are working fine using this method (hammerhead and kenzo). I am not sure what else to do.

                                              It would be nice to have an option to install ubports with
                                              Xiaomi tool v2, with dual boot option.
                                              Not sure it's an open project though.
