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 (F5121 or F5122).
- Ensure you have upgraded the stock firmware at least to Android 8, else you can’t flash the OEM binaries for AOSP. It is best to ensure that you have all the latest firmware installed.
- Enable developer options for your device,
- In the developer options, enable ADB debugging and OEM unlocking,
- Install ADB on your computer
- BEFORE unlocking the boot loader, back up your TA partition, in case you later wish to return to factory state. You can’t do this step at a later stage!
- Get an unlocking code from Sony,
- Reboot to fastboot and unlock the bootloader using the code obtained from Sony
- Download the OEM binaries for AOSP from sony, unpack them,
- Flash them in fastboot (
fastboot flash oem [filename]
)
You will also need to download manually some files specific for your port depending on the type of your install:
Linux
Windows & Mac

Sony Xperia X (F5121 & F5122)
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.
