Ubuntu Touch randomly bricks my device.

222we · 17 Jul 2023, 12:45

My device is Xiaomi Mi 6 6/128 Model.
I am installing Ubuntu Touch stable with Ubports installer, it installs without a problem and works great when it boots the first time.
But when i reboot my device a few times, the phone freezes at MI logo. I only can enter fastboot and can't boot TWRP from fastboot.
Now, i installed it again and the phone REBOOTED ITSELF after 30 seconds, and stuck at MI logo again. I only can fix this with flashing stock rom
Tried in both Android 9 lastest stock rom and LineageOS 20.

Don't know this device but you should install the required rom, may it be the latest and stock or not.

From sagit device page :

Make sure your device is unlocked and the required Android version is installed

I guess ubports installer should tell you what rom to install before, maybe with a link to download it.

Also, you should tick all the box in the installer like wipe data and so on.

@222we You can also ask here https://t.me/WelcomePlus for advice.

@Keneda The installer says that i need to install Android 9, so i am trying with true rom.
Also, i can't boot twrp with "fastboot boot" but when i flash it i can open twrp. And rebooting to system from twrp boots to Ubuntu Touch. So strange.
I only have problems with boot. Everything is perfect expect this problem.

@222we
If no one with same device as you that succeeded installing without boot problems after comes here, maybe try to contact porter https://forums.ubports.com/topic/4671/ubuntu-touch-halium9-0-xiaomi-mi6-sagit/22?_=1689700540639

And if i get it right from this, there is a specific recovery to install for Ubuntu Touch, wich is not TWRP.

@Keneda okay thanks, i'll contact him.

I know Ubuntu Touch has its own recovery, i installed twrp only to solve the problem.
TWRP can boot to UT but it gets broken too after a while. I only can boot to UT with TWRP rn.

I flashed TWRP again to boot UT, now it got broken again. Maybe a firmware issue? Because i can't boot to anything with "fastboot boot xyz.img" when something gets broken.

@222we I have been looking at this device and wonder whether it is a device that supports seamless updates i.e Android slot A and slot B.

@MrT10001 I think it don't. Didin't check that.
