Installing on redmi note 9s (curtana) - Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've wanted to install ubuntu touch on my xiaomi redmi note 9s, which runs android 12 with miui 14.
But, since I've started to try, I always have seemed to run into the same problem : once I start the installation, it gets stuck very long on the "formating cache" screen, and it doesn't seem to want to move.
As said in the title, my device is a custana one, so it runs on GLOBAL software, and I don't know if that can affect something, as it isn't very clear if it only works on india one or if it can work on global.
Thank you in advance for your tips !

Redmi Note 3 (Snapdragon) Hangs and Restarts

Hello,
I bought Redmi Note 32GB Snapdragon variant (my first Mi phone) a month ago and just after 10 days or so it started showing hanging problems. If it was a random once in a while hanging issue, I would not have had any problem but when the phone slows, after a couple of seconds it freezes then all I can do is restart it into fastboot mode or wait for it to switch off after around a minute so I can restart it myself. I have tried installing MIUI 8 Global Beta and after that back to MIUI 7 but both seem to have the same problem. I also went to the Mi Service Center where they installed their own update again and said it will not have issue anymore but it still shows the same problem.
I have googled for a similar issue on this phone but I seem to be only one having it yet. I have no idea what to do so please if you know anything about this issue then please tell me.
Regards,
Varun

Trouble updating to MIUI8

Guys! I have Redmi note 3 MTK with MIUI 7.0 running. I want to update it to MUI 8 for which I have downloaded the ROM from Xiaomi website against my phone but when I " Choose Update Package" in the "Update app" the phone just restarts & does nothing. Any idea what might be the problem.
Thanks.

BIG trouble with IDO / system proces failed :(

My Redmi 3 IDO is stuck at the startup, system process failed ;(
Sometimes it starts up after +-2 hours... today it started, I immediately went to factory reset, but nothing happened when I pushed the button...
Then I tried to install TRWP & Kingroot to root my device, but this process hangs too, I immediately get into the lock screen and touch screen doesn't work.
I had put some roms, TRWP on my SD Card to flash asap, but I cannot get to flash...
Then I installed MiPCSuite (adb drivers installed on pc), but no device found.
I also installed XiaMiFlash on my pc and tried to flash a TRWP or Rom from there, but immediately fail.
I guess that original bootloader from Xiaomi is protected or something.
How can I get over this, so that I can install a new bootloader from where I can flash customised roms ?
Don't know what to do now, flash from pc,...
Touchscreen doesn't work, it starts up in lock screen and the light goes out faster than usual.
Today it booted up once, I had turned of the lock screen, but now it is on again...
I can only put my phone in download or recover mode with that built in Chinese bootloader, but don't know if I can do something from there.
I also tried to boot without SD/Sim card so that i'm sure that nothing blocks it, but this didn't help.
I guess I used too much apps & cleaners....
Maybe i'm lucky and it will boot after 2-3 hrs, but still when i'm in my device, nothing seems to work, this really sucks
Letting the battery run out and wait a few days to turn it on won't help probably...
Theres a lot of factors to determine in this case, first of all, is it a Snapdragon model (kate/kenzo) or a Mediatek(henessy)?, what version of MIUI are you using?, and most importantly, what did you do to get the phone in that state?
But in your case the most reasonable solution is put the phone on EDL mode and flash it using MIFlash, that software is used only for flashing an original MIUI Rom, you cant install TWRP or any other rom.
Yes it's a snapdragon (also tested it with an app), it's the IDO version (Redmi Note 3 international version).
The Miui is still the original version 7.
Actually I didn't nothing special that the phone got in that state, I think I just installed too many apps which resulted in a conflict that the proces system doesn't react and hangs at startup.
It's also strange that fastboot mode does nothing, it just shows the animated figures...
I will bootup in EDL download mode and try to flash the stock rom, the only thing is that I don't know which one.
My version is the IDO version, it's not in this list, I'll try the Kenzo.

Cannot receive hello packet error and it stops flashing... strange

Kenzo is codename for Redmi Note 3 and Kate is for Redmi Note 3 Special Edition (International version). Ido codename is for Redmi 3 (http://en.miui.com/download-298.html). Here is URL to Redmi 3's forum: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-3
Thanks, it wasn't necessary anymore, while driving from work and waiting a few hours it suddenly started up and I quickly reseted to factory settings

I'm stuck in Android 9 with my Redmi Note 4

Sorry for my english, but I need help. I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 since May 2018 and since then i had the pixel experience mod on (the one with android oreo 8.1). Everything went good until yesterday my phone resets randomly and goes in bootloop with the google logo. So, i made a backup of my things and i did a factory reset with twrp, but apparently, wifi connection, bluetooth, sim card, volume and fingerprint scanner stopped working. I restored my backup but nothing changed, i even flashed a new mod, the newer pixel experience, the one with android 9, but i just messed up everything and now twrp doesn't work anymore as if i try to open it, it gives me the error "the device has been destroyed" or something like that. Even worse, my PCs won't read my phone anymore.
Summary: I'm stuck with Android 9 in the "welcome-fase" (?) because to begin use it i must connect to internet, and i can't do it in any way.
Sorry for my english. I hope someone could help me. Thanks.

Hi, mine is Redmi 5 plus and I have the same problem. I even changed the screen and it weirdly worked fine for a few days but then went back to freezing after a few minutes of use.
