          Thanks @Nikfrager, it seems possible to create a single release for both F5121 and F5122. I'll implement something next week and hope for owners of the F5122 to test it again.

              Hello,

              Thanks for the port of UBports to Xperia X. I have bought one to replace my FP2/UT, because its hardware is about to die (cannot repair the screen flickering symptom).

              I am unable to install UT on Xperia X F5121. I am now back to TWRP+LineageOS (android 8.1) on the phone, because it is on the only way I found the put the phone in a « known » working state.

              I tried several methods to install, both on Ubuntu 19.10 and Buster 10.2. But each time, ubports-installer hangs because I cannot reboot the device in recovery mode. To do that, I must shut down the device, wait for seconds, and replug it with volume down key to boot into recovery mode. Therefore the link with the installer gets lost. Maybe instructions on screen dialog are inaccurate.

              Is there a way to fully install (from start to end) with a simple shell script, using fastboot and adb tools ? Has someone ever done it ?

              Thanks !

                  Wasted a lot of time over this issue with my F5121 which was previously running Sailfish OS using Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Mac OSX . In my case had previously saved TAbackup prior to bootloader unlock for Sailfish, so downgraded device back to MM with Androxyde Flashtool, restored DRM (Androxyde Advanced settings), upgraded to stock Oreo, bootloader unlocked on latest firmware, turn on USB debugging, installed twrp-3.2.2-0-suzu.img, reboot into "recovery mode" TWRP wipe then advanced wipe for cache, dalvik cache, data and system, fastboot flash oem SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.img and then ran UBports installer 0.14.4-Beta upon Mac OSX to install 16.04/community/fredldotme/devel and got "spinning white circle" this time. Remember to remove any microSD card for any subsequent OTA updates, now on v 10* OS build number 2020-01-01/2.

                    @aspergerguy Thanks for your comments ! For now, the key point is to remove any SD card before any attempt to install or update.

                        @aspergerguy Hi, I'm also having trouble with a device that had SFOS. Can you tell me where you downloaded the stock xperia images from? There seem to be suspicious sites around.

                          Stock Xperia images downloaded using Xperifirm within Androxyde Flashtool. If you want to find older MM versions you have to look under "Commercial & Journalists". Another source could be:link text

                            Location toggle won't stay enabled; I didn't see any comments about location beyond it working in late 2018... Was there a regression? Excellent port btw!

                              Hello. I have a problem flashing sony xperia x with ubports. I already follow all the steps. My phone is an android 8 oreo version, i unlocked to bootloader with sony flash tool. i already enable oem and usb debugging and i install the Sw binaries with fastboot. but when i start ubports, everything is working until the phone reboots to install the firmware and it boot in ubports recovery mode so is not anymore in the fastboot mode with the blue light on. And when i tried to put it back it gets disconnect. What can i do ? can i flash it from ubports recovery ?

                                @Stef7773 Hi There. It looks like you're doing everything right from what you say. I'm going to take a guess that you have noticed that the recovery screen comes on whilst phone still plugged into pc and the ubports installer still running and have thought you need to do something? If this is indeed what's happening then you should do nothing when the recovery screen presents itself on the phone, it's part of the process; just allow it to continue to completion.

                                PS If I don't say this someone else will 😊 : no need to post the same question in two places on the forum it doesn't make it more visible. You would be helping if you removed your other post.

                                      @Stef7773 are you trying to build Halium yourself? If you just want to install Ubuntu Touch without developing on it you don't need the whole Halium tree synced.

                                      Again, if you are experiencing problems during flashing, try to wipe system, data & cache using TWRP and try to flash again afterwards using the guide here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3229/sony-xperia-x-suzu-f5121-f5122
