          Wasted a lot of time over this issue with F5121 which was previously running Sailfish OS. In my case had 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, 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 run UBports installer 0.14.4-Beta 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.

              Notes on the installation of ubuntu touch onto a new Sony Xperia X

              Prepared as thoroughly as I could in an attempt to avoid issues with the installer later on and followed instructions at the top of this thread.
              Turned out I could not get the Androxyde Flashtool to run on ubuntu desktop 18.04, laptop 16.04, so updated the phone via repeated ota system updates to Android 8.0, build 34.4.A.2118.
              Remaining steps were ok but the installer did not complete and phone ended up in some sort of a looping process.
              Finally successful after a few days. Installing TWRP to clear caches was key (Thanks @Lioh!):

              @Lioh said in Sony Xperia X (suzu/F5121):

              Halium recovery does not clear the cache completly. For a new device it is necessary to install TWRP first after unlocking the device. It can be downloaded from here: https://dl.twrp.me/suzu/twrp-3.3.1-0-suzu.img.html and flashed in Fastboot Mode (Power on + VolumeUp = Blue LED) using:

              fastboot flash recovery Downloads/twrp-3.3.1-0-suzu.img
              

              Afterwards boot into TWRP and select Wipe / data, system & cache partitionen. Continue with the installation (OEM Binaries / UBports installer)

              Question: Would it be possible to have this step of the process for new devices inserted into the post at the top of the thread?

              Anyway, I now had UT on the phone but it had a serious battery drain issue. It was losing power even when switched right off overnight.

              Long story short, ran the installer again selecting 16.04/community/fredldotme/devel this time to a successful conclusion. Was surprised to find: working camera, incoming ring-tone, openstore pre-installed and various other bits and pieces that weren't working on the arm64 version.

              Battery still drains a bit quicker than it should but greatly improved. More research required.

                @ziggutas Flash tool 0.9.25.0 works on ubuntu 18.04, that might be easier.

                  Thanks for the tip @extraymond , that definitely might be easier! Looks a bit easier to get hold of too.

                  Will keep the info in case I need to go back and start again.

                    Has anyone managed to successfully connect the Xperia to a monitor with a slimport adapter?

                      I have been using UT on Xperia X for 20 days and use it daily. After yesterday's update, the smartphone is truly fantastic. A big thank you goes to those who are working on porting this phone.

                        @Giampy As far as I know the port is abandoned. It must have been a "normal" edge update.

                        Does GPS work on your Xx?

                          No, the port is not abandoned. The Xx is now a community device with devel channel and gets updates.GPS is working fine.

                              @makeixo I tested the gps with unav and pure maps, it works very well. The only thing missing is the flashlight.

                                @Giampy ok, thanks. On mine it didnt work with puremaps yesterday. Maybe it helps if I change the channel from edge to devel.

                                  @Nikfrager Nice! I didn't know that Ubports has found someone, who took the port over.

                                    Ok. I have seen its already on devel. Is this the right one? I don't have any ideas why there 4 devel channels.

                                    The Version I have installed is 201, but on mine gps doesn't work.

                                      Regarding maintenance of the port: I'm still working on it as the community found a way to finance development for a short period of time.

                                      Regarding GPS: do you have a SIM inserted? Usually a location fix comes faster with a SIM card inserted.

                                      Regarding other channels: don't let the selection fool you, there is no way to switch to a different channel. Also we don't quite know yet why it's showing multiple devel channels.

                                        Ah ok. I didn't know that. I have sent you some as well. Thanks for all the work you have done!

                                        I insert one now but in puremaps it doesn't find the location. I will try it on the weekend another time. Maybe he just need some time.

                                          And now, there is the flashlight that work fine. Is there an international group on telegram for UT on Xperia X?
