        @paul-henri WiFi and other things not working is usually down to the incorrect version of Android on the device before the install of UT. A specific version of android is required for technical reasons, mainly partitions and Vendor BLOB's (drivers).

        You need to go back to the correct version of Android, set it up and then install UT.

        The zip file for the correct Android ROM contains various scripts to flash Android to the device.

        If you are on Windows (10 or 11) use the flash_all.bat

        If you are on Linux use the flash_all.sh

        I guess you are using Windows as you mentioned the C : prompt and tried to run the Linux command in that - it won't work as you can see.

        (Make sure you have Android Platform Tools installed as they contain the fastboot and ADB drivers)

        What you have to do is totally extract the Android ROM file.
        In the folder where the Android ROM file is extracted, open a command prompt - right click on an empty space and choose in the drop down box Open in Terminal.

        Put the device in fastboot mode and connect it to the PC.
        In the terminal run the command ./flash_all.bat and note the ./ in front of the command.

        As it starts doing it's thing, leave it alone and be patient, it can take up to 10 minutes to flash the ROM onto the device and ma seem to hang, but it will be doing stuff. Once it completes, it will reboot, then go through the Android setup and make sure everything works, camera, GPS, wifi etc. Then do the UT install.

            @MrT10001 Thanks for the reply. I managed to flash the device back into Android and the WiFi is working. However, installing UT with UBports doesn't succeed... It's a pitty that it is so difficult.

                im thinking this should be a device porter solution we should make it so people dont need to downgrade whatever device ported should simply have the base android files needed for that device and ubuntu touch should just be flashed once ....eliminating this annoying step

                  @developerbayman said in Ubuntu Touch on Redmi Note 9:

                  eliminating this annoying step

                  actually there was an effort to do that at least for one port (not Xiaomi)

                  https://github.com/ubports/installer-configs/pull/299

                  I know because I actually argued that it could be dangerous. Devs judged that my fears were unjustified, however the PR is still stalled because 3 approvals are needed and one of the code owners has something else to do it seems. So things are advancing at a snail pace on the installer front. Unsure if it will be committed one day, unsure if this solution will be extended to other ports (you'll notice that there were considerations of antirollback protections that could be a blocker for other ports).

                    @gpatel-fr after thinking about it i think i would side with the others .....im talking about the equivalent of including the bootloader in any linux or windows install ....currently you must bring your own bootloader .....very not typical also all source code is verifiable ...i do think your concerns are unjustified ....however they are valid concerns
