Xiaomi Redmi 4X (santoni)

@4htet , if You read again the steps I wrote:
- Reboot to Recovery, so ADB recovery is active , flash from Your Desktop:
path/to/halium-install -p ut path/to/rootfs.tar.gz path/to/system.img
Explain:
When You are in recovery mode and connect the USB cable, the ADB recovery mode is active. (I suppose You already have android SDK, ADB , fastboot tools...)
To check use command:
adb devices
in fastboot :
fastboot devicesso in this step won't flash from TWRP GUI, just use TWRP for adb, and reboot.
How to flash, was specified already by @Danct12 , read here:
http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/porting/installing-16-04.htmlthe basic is ->
path/to/halium-install -p ut path/to/rootfs.tar.gz path/to/system.img,Best regards,

@aceclan Thanks for your reply. I followed your instructions. Now , when the terminal tell me to set password, this message is showing continuously. "chroot: failed to run command 'passwd' : Exec format error failed, please try again"
Edit: Now I know that I cant chroot into rootfs on my redmi4x which means qemu-user-static is not working on my Ubuntu 19.04. Still can`t find the fix for that.

Hey, I'm having some problems getting my 4X to boot into UT. I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 and downloaded latest System and Boot image from the Github. I also unlocked my bootloader and flashed newest TWRP. After that, I flashed Halium-Boot through fastboot. After booting back to TWRP( to get ADB to work) I started normally flashing with halium-install.
Everything seems to be fine. It asked me for password and flashed system and rootfs to /data. After that while trying to boot the OS, it just locks up on Mi Logo and on dmesg -w I see:
Here's the last message from Halium-Install:
I really don't know what's the problem here. I tried reformatting /data, /system, /cache etc. and same results, I also tried installing LineageOS 16 (Official) and install ut on top of that but still the same thing.
Any help is appriciated! -
@BlackOtton Well you are in emergency telnet mode, maybe you should use telnet to connect to the shown IP and see what dmesg says there ^^
-
@4htet Make sure
qemu-user-binfmtis installed on your host. -
@BlackOtton Is your data partition f2fs? If it is then change it back to ext4.
-
@Danct12 Now booting on Ubuntu. Thx for ur help.
-
@Danct12 Thanks, reformatting /data to ext4 finally worked.
-
@4htet , I also had many problems with halium-install, I've spent a lot of time to figuring out , using manjaro linux ...
I've installed the : qemu-arm-static , binfmt-qemu-static, simg2img from simg-tools package
and changed a line in function setup_passwd() ,from "halium-install/functions/distributions.sh"
do_until_success sudo chroot "$ROOTFS_DIR" passwd $user to sudo chroot "$ROOTFS_DIR" passwd $useron the halium install script are described the dependencies:

Hello @Danct12 ,
Flashing again Your last build, Mon 09 MAR, without any wipe -> all my settings were kept, this is normal? This is a feature? ... because of user data is stored in santoni:/data/user-data/phablet ?
Another problem network interface from computer disappearing during the UB boot.
Appearing for a short time then disappear.
-
@aceclan
Resolved, flashed the anterior. -
@aceclan Your home directory should stay intact, I flashed my nexus 5 on legacy build with halium 7.1 build and everything worked fine.
-
I tried to log in to google account to sync my contacts. But at the log in page, keyboard is not popping up( not showing) . And one more thing, my language BURMESE letters are not showing in sms. Showing only square characters. I tried to install fonts and it is saying read only file system. Any IDEA?
-
Please help me i tried everything always stuck at mi logo, i formated the data and flashed it and still stuck at mi logo never booted to ubuntu. please someone provide step by step process
-
@4htet Keyboard not popping up at Google page is probably a UBports error, the same issue is on Oneplus 3.
And read-only file system, you can try
sudo mount -o rw,remount /to remount the rootfs as root.But your language issue is weird, it could be a UBports issue unless someone tested it on official supported device.
-
@bisaalz Format your /data partition as ext4.
-
Same for me, format data as ext4 does not help. I am unable get any logs,
dmesg -won PC does not show anything,/sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoopsfile does not exist. I am unable to boot your recovery,sudo fastboot boot recovery.imgshow only mi logo. I tried to downgrade firmware, compile system by my own, many recovery images. But I am unable to boot this (and recovery from that post too). Some people on XDA have similar problem. I was using lastest MIUI 11.2 before. -
@Danct12 maybe we should update blobs, I am not sure what else to do.
-
@danqo6 Perhaps you could try to flash a LOS 14.1 rom first and see if LOS loads.
-
@danqo6 , from the fastboot mode, check first:
$ fastboot devices
330915847d15 fastbootthen download and use: Latest TWRP
$ fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-santoni.img
Sending 'boot.img' (24844 KB) OKAY [ 0.783s]
Booting OKAY [ 0.715s]
Finished. Total time: 1.615sAfter Backup ALL and copy TWRP folder to Your PC,
full format: Wipe/Format Data is needed to remove encryption
After flash system.img and rootfs.tar.gz don't forget to boot again to fastboot and flash hallium-boot.img:
fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img
