Sony Xperia X (suzu/F5121 & F5122)

doniks

@libremax I don't know for sure, but I could imagine that suzu gets otas. Its in the ci and the image server, so that whole machinery might just work. Even though the graphical installer application is not able to serve it yet.

If that is the case, then @sonny you just updated to the brand new mir and unity versions that got promoted from edge channel. There's another post where they explained the edge merge. https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3293/what-s-this-edge-merge-anyway/3

Maybe that new image is causing the problem on this halium built device?! You can probably switch back to an older dev image with ubuntu-device-flash. I don't know the syntax by heart, buy just check -h.

If that theory is correct, then @fredldotme maybe some older devel image could be promoted to rc?

@doniks In fact, I was not looking at this from a technical point of vue but from a "logical" one.
Given it's an early pre-release without polishing for the install step, I did'nt expect that OTA would be enable.

My phone was actually able to startup today after being shut off over night.
I then checked the updates again and Ubuntu touch Version 26 was listed as available again.
I tried to install and got a glowing circle like I did when I initially installed it and then it booted up to show the update is still available.
I leave that update for now while I check the system out.

@sonny OTAs should work, they do with most Xperia X devices but I've gotten reports of failing OTAs on some devices where the Circle Of Flash(tm) doesn't even show up. So if your device runs through the install process with the circle it should be lucky.

The Sony Xperia X is now in the installer https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer

Nuffi

@Lakotaubp

@fredldotme
I was able to update to Ubuntu Touch Version 33 today without problems.

sahirul

can i install it on a Sony xperia x compact ?

fredldotme

@sahirul No, as that one is neither Suzu nor F5121.

Is there a way to make sure the Xperia X we will get is the correct version?
Perhaps in the about page on Android we can see the model?

Nikfrager

Yes, you can see it.

sahirul

@fredldotme oke thank

hsabun

@fredldotme Sir i have xperia x f5122, can i install on it?

UniSuperBox

@Hsabun
No, F5122 is not F5121

extraymond

Nice!!! Does this support anbox? I'm still deciding to get a oneplus 3 or xperia x to help testing. Any suggestion?

fredldotme

@extraymond It should as all the necessary kernel changes are in, but the installation will fail for now. I'll ask if it's possible to whitelist the Xperia X to gain Anbox support.

extraymond

@fredldotme Thx! Looking forward to use this as my n5 replacement.

Thanks for this port !! Having a great time using Ubuntu touch for the first time !
Using the last release in the development branch I am not able to pair with any device using bluetooth. (I have tried to connect to a bluetooth headset and a speaker). Trying using the terminal with bluetoothctl doesn't work neither. Is it something specific to this branch or I have missed something.

Hi Guys, there is an error connecting the Xperia X via USB cable under KDE Desktop.
I fixed the bug by adjusting the following file:

/lib/udev/rules.d/69-libmtp.rules

The entry:

ACTION! = "Add", GOTO = "libmtp_rules_end"

must be changed to:

ACTION! = "Bind", ACTION! = "Add", GOTO = "libmtp_rules_end"

It is important for the time being that the developer mode is deactivated on the Xperia X and in the UTtweaktool in the ADB settings RNDIS is activated.

Thus, in the file manager via USB to the phone memory can be accessed.

This works for me.

Best regards

I also encountered

Cache formatting was not succesful, flashing may fail, check your partitions on deviceFailed to enter Recovery

with the old instructions. With the new instructions with the installer, the installer is stuck at Flashing firmware forever.
I am not sure if I followed the instructions correctly.

Even though the output looks correct, the OS looks the same after booting, not like AOSP:

[root@localhost platform-tools]# ./fastboot flash oem ./SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_5.7_r1_v08_loire.img
Sending 'oem' (220783 KB)                          OKAY [  6.926s]
Writing 'oem'                                      OKAY [  3.553s]
Finished. Total time: 10.536s

It says Make sure to upgrade your device to the latest stock Android 8.0 before continuing. The Xperia X does not support Android 8, does it? Does it matter which service I choose in the Emma flash tool?
