        sorry i i posted it on the root category , because there's no category for redmi note 8 pro thanks

        No problem.
        But didn't you were able to post it in Xiaomi main category ?
        I ask this because there where some permission issue in some main category for some users.

              @jhayar0719 I would have a good search on the web. I don't have your phone and they can all have different methods.

                Hi thanks for the response , i cannot find any on the web ,

                the question i need to answer before i can proceed to install ubuntu touch is
                does UT allows to change its recovery to TWRP or CWM recovery ?

                if TWRP or CWM recovery can be flash even the OS still in UT maybe from there i can flash android .

                  How did you originally flash TWRP on your device? Just use the same method and go from there. No special guide needed.

                    hi , it means i can just install TWRP and replace UT recovery ?
                    will it work without problem ?
                    thanks 🙂

                      okay i installed ubuntu touch ? it was 16.04 ?

                      does ut supports only 16.04 ? or there's a way that we can update it

                      also i try waydroid helper ? how many minutes/hours does installing waydroid takes ?

                      hope that the package manager adds progress bar while installing apps so we know if the app installation stucks ?

                      will try all the stuff then will get back if somethings goes wrong thanks

                      UPDATE:

                      1. per documentation waydroid supposedly works , but when i install via waydroid helper , then the phone reboots and when i start waydroid , it crashed , any workarounds ?

                        @jhayar0719 UT is currently based on 16.04. Focal 20.04 is on the way and moving along well https://forums.ubports.com/topic/8116/ubuntu-touch-20-04-getting-closer As for WAyDroid that is a seperate project so try asking here https://t.me/waydroidonut

                            Yes, of course. As long as you can boot up into fasboot/bootloader mode you can flash any recovery you like. But only do this if and when you want to flash Android.

                            will it work without problem ?
                            thanks 🙂

                            That depends on how closely you follow the instructions you find online, and if they are any good to begin with.
