Yes, you need to install that package:
sudo apt install android-tools-adb

Hi everyone,
I've bought an android M10 FHD (this version was one sale) quite some time ago in order to get ubuntu working on it. With Canonical the end of maintenance on their side I felt somewhat desperate, so thanks UBports for keeping this awesome project alive!

Anyway, I've tried to install Ubuntu on my M10 using Magic Device Tool and after completing all the steps I arrived on the "Do not reboot manually!" and "Wait until it reboots on its own!" in my terminal and the tablet was only saying "=>FASTBOOT mode...".
I've been waiting quite some time (~1h) with this screen on and not much happening and decided to reboot via fastboot (using fastboot reboot-bootloader, so not really manually in case fastboot was still busy) and try the command line way. The reboot went fine and got me to the bootloader. I thought I would give a try an other day and turned the tablet off.

However I am now unable to turn it on: turning it on gets me to the android screen with a "Orange State. Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5 seconds" message and remains stuck there forever (meaning >2 hours...), never booting. If I try to boot in recovery mode the android screen appears (without the previous message) get stuck for ~10 secs and reboots without reaching recovery. It then get stuck on the android screen with the orange state message.

I cannot access my tablet with adb or fastboot in any of those states... Do you have any idea onto how to repair this? Is my tablet bricked?
Extra information: I can turn the tablet off normaly

Thanks!

Could you try the UBports installer? If that gives you any trouble, please create a new thread and we can help you out there.
