          @bisaalz Please try to flash LineageOS 14.1 (just that, don't install Ubuntu), and reboot.

          If LineageOS 14 boots, can you try to install Ubuntu again? Perhaps this is needed first, I have not updated my device firmware for months now.

              @ub_santoni You should tap on green tick.

                        Hi @Danct12
                        I followed your steps but I cannot get it working (as contrary to LOS 16).
                        Halium seems ok

                        ❯ fastboot boot ../../fastboot/imgs/halium-boot.img

                            @Danct12 all LOS 14.1 roms I found works. ( ROMs before official LOS) I have twrp 3.3.1, I formatted data as ext4. I have 3GB version of redmi 4x, my LCD display was changed once. My logs seems ok, but I am unable to get even telnet working. Other my halium 14.1 devices are working fine using this method (hammerhead and kenzo). I am not sure what else to do.

                              It would be nice to have an option to install ubports with
                              Xiaomi tool v2, with dual boot option.
                              Not sure it's an open project though.

                                  @maciekrz12 said in Xiaomi Redmi 4X (santoni):

                                  Failed to boot

                                  If your device's userdata partition is encrypted then unfortunately you'll have to format it, meaning you'll lose all your data.

                                  To do so, goto TWRP -> Wipe -> Format Data (the button is in red)

                                  After that reinstall Ubuntu and hopefully it'll work. If not please telnet and give me dmesg (put it on pastebin or something).

                                      @aceclan I'm trying to understand this dual boot since I don't see any resize of any partitions.
                                      Can you explain how that works ?
                                      I understand you flash the boot image according to the os you want to boot, but where are located the two images of android and ubuntu ?

                                      One question then: my TWRP folder only contains a .twrps file, is that fine ?

                                        @Danct12 THANK YOU!
                                        I've been wiping all the time instead of formatting. Now it works just fine 🙂

                                          I'm trying to flash ut but I got this error:

                                          ./halium-install -p ut ./ubports-touch.rootfs-xenial-armhf.tar.gz ./system.img
                                          basename: not valid option -- "p"
                                          Try 'basename --help' for more information.

                                          cleaning up
                                          error: no devices/emulators found
