Forum Post How to install Ubuntu Touch OS
You can install Ubuntu Touch on this device using the UBports Installer on your computer.
Make sure your device is unlocked and has the required version of Android installed. Before installing, follow the device-specific instructions below:
- Please double-check that your device is a Sony Xperia X Performance (F8131 or F8132).
- In case you later wish to return to factory state, you will have to back up your TA partition before unlocking the bootloader. You can't do this step at a later stage! (The guide is written for Xperia X but should work for Xperia XZ as well)
- You have to unlock the bootloader to install third-party operating systems on your device.
- If the device is running Android, you might have to upgrade to Android 8.0.
You will also need to download manually some files specific for your port depending on the type of your install:
Linux
Windows & Mac

Report an Issue for
Sony Xperia X Performance (F8131 & F8132)
Did the maintainer say that feature ‘works’ but you know from doing it that
it really doesn’t?
Start by searching the device issue , if you found it, hopefully the porter is on it. 'Subscribe' to the issue in case it get solved.
Couldn't find it?
Uh-oh… Well it is time to let the porter and everyone else know about the fail and send the tech magic back to the workshop for a makeover.
1. Read 'Bug Reporting' section in UBports docs on 'How to report a bug'.
2. Then (this time), head to the device repository and submit it, so the porter knows about it.
