Installation fails on Redmi Note 9 (merlin)

Do you have two sockets for the SIM card?
If it is, only one should be occupied.
Which provider do you use?
What was the exact Android version installed before UT (as UT use, through Halium, the Android drivers left in place during install process, it is very important to have the android version expected by the UT port) ?
The video linked is about to change IMEI, did you did this?
Did you used the initial IMEI provided by the phone?
You may know that changing IMEI is illegal in many countries. -
@Vlad-Nirky
Yep, and i wrote only sim2 and inserted only one sim in sim2
I use a local BSNL provider (the modem and frequencies are different in india so i couldn't get it working in global firmware)
Android 12
Yep, i used the initial imei linked, i have the original imei values (i knew i would mess it up so i took a photo before flashing UT)
And no, i didn't change IMEI....
the root cause is simple, the global frequencies are different and indian ones are different, hence since i flashed the global frequencies, i couldn't get it working.
Thanks for the reply.... -
@0xinit69
Well, it could explain the failure.
The UT port is based on Halium 11.
So the Android version, before UT install, should be Android 11.
Consider flash to Android 11 again and retry the UT installer.

@Vlad-Nirky My kernel version right now is 14.4.186. I am on android 11
Will it work -
@0xinit69
Let's cross fingers.
It should. -
@Vlad-Nirky Well it works 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
But the sim still doesn't work sadly. Its more of my mess which I did. Thanks for the community, especially @Vlad-Nirky @MrT10001 for the support...... -
@0xinit69
Great news. Calls should work.
Are you able to try another SIM, from another operator? -
@Vlad-Nirky They actually don't, one of the technicians said that i need to write both IMEI's then calls will work. I'll try it today and tell you the results......
-
@Vlad-Nirky Nah, they don't. atleast i have a working UT phone, after 3 months of effort, dropping my battery life by 60% and hopefully gain some knowledge with Mobile Linux, I've been a desktop linux user for the past 6 years and now i got the opportunity to flash it into my mobile phone. Thanks for the community for that....

As we use ofono (as other linux for mobile), perhaps could you search if another mobile linux user of another OS could give you the good parameters for your operator...
