SOLVED: BQ E5 back to Ubuntu Touch
-
Greetings,
I own a BQ E5 Ubuntu Edition which I've flashed to Android a while ago. Now I would like to change it back to Ubuntu Touch. I tried it usingubports-installer-0.1.21-beta-x86_64.AppImage
on a machine withFedora 27
. The 1st issue I encountered was this:So I selected
BQ Aquaris E5
manually and started the installation. The device automatically rebooted but the flashing ended with this:Does this mean that my bootloader is locked and I have to do THESE steps first?

@farkasdvd yes, as your device is running Android now, you have to follow https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/install.html#install-on-legacy-android-devices before installing UBports

@advocatux thanks, worked.
One comment for those who are doing the same thing: don't forget to enable developer mode once you have installed the legacy Ubuntu Touch. Otherwise UBports installer won't detect your device.
