@maldukhn Don't know if it's related to your bug, but did you first install ADB and Fasboot on your PC? (sudo apt-get install adb && sudo apt-get install fastboot). Thoses packages are needed to install Ubuntu Touch on Android devices.

@stanwood There are not working urls:

and
https://ci.ubports.com/view/Device Compatibility Images/job/Device Compatibility Images/job/halium-santoni/184/artifact/halium-boot_santoni.img
Someone should change config for Redmi 4X.

@mrn Thank you, I'll ask our developers to fix the issue soon.

Is there a workaround or trick to install UT on the Redmi with the Installer? I´ve got the same probs with the lost internet connection, on Ubuntu and MacOS.

@silveroffspring Try launch installer via terminal using this command : ubports-installer -f ./path/to/config.json
Use default config for santoni and you must replace not working links with working ones. You also need change sha256 checksum for replaced files.

@stanwood I did install fastboot and adb of course and they works just fine

[silveroffspring]

@LordVeverka Thanks for your help. I tried, but it doesn´t work or I´m not getting it right.

I just wait for a fix of the installer.

@silveroffspring

They've fixed it

[Jdro]

Many thanks @Danct12 for your work... (and and whoever fixed the problem with the ubports_installer )
Two questions: I see that I cannot access my Santoni via adb shell (as I do with my E4.5)

• Can it be enabled?
• I suppose it is related but,
  Can I use the RNDIS function?

Thank you in advance

@Jdro adb is mostly disabled in Halium ports, try ssh phablet@10.15.19.82 instead

[Jdro]

@Flohack
Ok. I have configured ssh access.
Thank you very much.

Sorry for disturbing, is there any working way for enabling apk support like anbox installing?

[sejur2002]

Is there a way to install UT from fastboot command line ( boot, recovery, system) because i can't get UBports installer to work ( stuck for long time on preparing images...... and nothing is happening, cache system data is ext4 format)? I'm on win10 x64.
Thank you!

[Nuudul]

Does anbox work?

[lomcho]

Please Explain installation step by step because the installer stuck on preparing system image.
I really want to try Ubuntu touch.
I found this link :
https://ci.ubports.com/job/UBportsCommunityPortsJenkinsCI/job/ubports%252Fcommunity-ports%252Fjenkins-ci%252Fsantoni/job/main/
Is this the right link which i should download files from ?
