@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.

@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.

@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

silveroffspring

@LordVeverka Thanks for your help. I tried, but it doesn´t work or I´m not getting it right.

I just wait for a fix of the installer.

@silveroffspring

They've fixed it

Many thanks @Danct12 for your work... (and and whoever fixed the problem with the ubports_installer )
Two questions: I see that I cannot access my Santoni via adb shell (as I do with my E4.5)

Can it be enabled?
I suppose it is related but,
Can I use the RNDIS function?

Thank you in advance

@Jdro adb is mostly disabled in Halium ports, try ssh phablet@10.15.19.82 instead

Jdro

@Flohack
Ok. I have configured ssh access.
Thank you very much.

Sorry for disturbing, is there any working way for enabling apk support like anbox installing?

sejur2002

Is there a way to install UT from fastboot command line ( boot, recovery, system) because i can't get UBports installer to work ( stuck for long time on preparing images...... and nothing is happening, cache system data is ext4 format)? I'm on win10 x64.
Thank you!

Nuudul

Does anbox work?

lomcho

Please Explain installation step by step because the installer stuck on preparing system image.
I really want to try Ubuntu touch.
I found this link :
https://ci.ubports.com/job/UBportsCommunityPortsJenkinsCI/job/ubports%252Fcommunity-ports%252Fjenkins-ci%252Fsantoni/job/main/
Is this the right link which i should download files from ?
