Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

Hey guys. I can`t install UBPorts to my Redmi 4X (2/16)

I tried UBPorts installer in Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Lubuntu 20.04

• Device: santoni
• Channel: deb
• Build:

Steps to reproduce

Install the installer via the deb package, with additional installation of dependencies. Launch, give the device to the installer, select the UBPorts edition, wait until the installer asks to go to recovery. It does not enter UBPorts recovery. Hanging on the screen with the Mi logo. If i boot TWRP using the fastboot, then the installer will continue exactly until the moment when it downloads all the necessary files.

Expected behavior

in theory, the installer should send the normal recovery, and after booting into it, it should transfer the files via ADB to the phone and install everything that is needed.

Actual behavior

As I said, UBPorts recovery does not work but hangs on the Mi logo. If you boot TWRP, then the installer continues and then displays the following message:

uncaught exception at uncaughtException: TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined
stack trace: TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined

@NeoTheThird what do you think?

[liss21]

Almost forgot. I was tried all versions, rc, devel. stable, edge. Now try boot Orangefox Recovery and installer didn`t give me error but stuck on "Prepairing system image" and loads my i3 by half at all cores :) About 40 minutes already....

I'll have to trace back where this originalted, somewhere in the promise-android-tools source code
