        @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]
          Finished. Total time: 1.615s

          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

                  @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.

                      @ub_santoni You should tap on green tick.

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

                                ❯ fastboot boot ../../fastboot/imgs/halium-boot.img
                                downloading 'boot.img'...

                                booting...
                                OKAY [  0.792s]

                                    @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.

                                          @maciekrz12 said in Xiaomi Redmi 4X (santoni):

                                          Failed to boot

                                          If your device's userdata partition is encrypted then unfortunately you'll have to format it, meaning you'll lose all your data.

                                          To do so, goto TWRP -> Wipe -> Format Data (the button is in red)

                                          After that reinstall Ubuntu and hopefully it'll work. If not please telnet and give me dmesg (put it on pastebin or something).

                                              @aceclan I'm trying to understand this dual boot since I don't see any resize of any partitions.
                                              Can you explain how that works ?
                                              I understand you flash the boot image according to the os you want to boot, but where are located the two images of android and ubuntu ?

                                              One question then: my TWRP folder only contains a .twrps file, is that fine ?
