@Danct12
Really nice addition! I gave it a try today, but the system would not boot with the latest release. Next I tried with the rc, and it works! I have UBPorts not on my 4X,

[Danct12]

@joaofl Yep, there was some bug that only occurs on "stable" channel, devel and rc works fine.

Hi @Danct12,
I'm trying to install UT in santoni, with ubports-installer (version 0.6.0-beta), but I've just got: 'connection to device lost'

I'm on openSuse tumbleweed, and I could reach device with 'fastboot devices' returns 34xxxxxxxxxx fastboot

ubports-installer is installed via snap
Xiaomi Redmi 4x have just been unlocked, then I've android 7.2.1 on it.

Could you help me?

[Danct12]

@sativista I suggest trying another cable, that worked for me.

[maldukhn]

its giving me this error all the time

[sativista]

@maldukhn Yeah, I started to have this error now too!

@sativista

I have the same problem

@Danct12
I've tried 5 different cables and nothing. I've just got a completed installation on Rwindows 10, with ubports-installer 0.5.6.
I've had to update windows first, other way I've got that connection error that @maldukhn had mentioned!

But now, I've a Redmi 4x with UT, thanks a lot!

[Danct12]

@maldukhn Please post ~/.cache/ubports/ubports-installer.log on paste.ubuntu.com

@Danct12

Excuse me. I took the liberty of copying my ubports-installer.log
If I have been a busybody, please ignore the post and apologize...:anxious_face_with_sweat:

@maldukhn Don't know if it's related to your bug, but did you first install ADB and Fasboot on your PC? (sudo apt-get install adb && sudo apt-get install fastboot). Thoses packages are needed to install Ubuntu Touch on Android devices.

@stanwood There are not working urls:
https://ci.ubports.com/view/Device Compatibility Images/job/Device Compatibility Images/job/halium-santoni/184/artifact/halium-unlocked-recovery_santoni.img
and
https://ci.ubports.com/view/Device Compatibility Images/job/Device Compatibility Images/job/halium-santoni/184/artifact/halium-boot_santoni.img
Someone should change config for Redmi 4X.

[Danct12]

@mrn Thank you, I'll ask our developers to fix the issue soon.

Is there a workaround or trick to install UT on the Redmi with the Installer? I´ve got the same probs with the lost internet connection, on Ubuntu and MacOS.

[LordVeverka]

@silveroffspring Try launch installer via terminal using this command : ubports-installer -f ./path/to/config.json
Use default config for santoni and you must replace not working links with working ones. You also need change sha256 checksum for replaced files.

@stanwood I did install fastboot and adb of course and they works just fine
