        @dimka I doubt your phone is bricked at all it just seems the install failed after installing recovery. I don't have the same phone but check here for advice https://forums.ubports.com/topic/3682/xiaomi-redmi-4x-santoni/110 check the adb connection is working correctly, maybe try clearing the cache (works for some devices) from recovery then retry the installer. Which version of UT where you trying to install stable, RC or development?

          @lakotaubp UBports 0.8.4-beta . installer, I thought I stuck it in, chose sanoni and went to the installation. I had no idea that I would have to jump with a tambourine and cast spells to install Ubuntu Touch.

              @dimka Sometimes straight forward sometimes not I'm afraid. Did you choose the wipe option on the installer last time? If not just try again using that and watch the installer does it give any messages during the install?What OS are you installing fromhe more info you can give the more people can help. Also you can ask here https://t.me/WelcomePlus it's our install group on Telegram/TELEports you can get answers quicker there at times.

                At least it didn't turn you into a frog like the last guy

                  @thilov thanks a lot for being Ubuntu Touch. I just can't understand why LineageOS do it as written and everything works?

                    @dimka So you just want an apology for everything not working perfectly for you?

                            @dimka The answer is simple, LineageOS is a modded Android, Ubuntu Touch is totally different: Different kernel config, different use of partitions, different structure of the initramfs etc.

                            So, that all makes it hard to cover every case that users might have depending on:

                            • if they repartitioned their device
                            • if there is still data in the system partition which will prevent correct boot
                            • if data has been encrypted
                            • if the vendor partition is from a different Android release

                            And more ^^
