@sativista I suggest trying another cable, that worked for me.

@suoko Distro?

You should try this one instead: https://github.com/JBBgameich/halium-install

@danqo6 Can you try to upgrade the firmware to the latest? I use this https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com

@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).

@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.

@danqo6 Perhaps you could try to flash a LOS 14.1 rom first and see if LOS loads.
