About SP Flash Tool error with Meizu MX4 (solved)

@Kelvin-Cheung hi, usually that kind of error is fixed by uninstalling the modemmanager package on your PC. You can read this now archived article explaining that issue https://web.archive.org/web/20180118130643/http://www.mibqyyo.com/en-articles/2015/09/16/ubuntu-android-installation-process-for-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-e5/

@advocatux I uninstalled the modemmanager and still failed to flash my phone with the same error.
BTW, I can't open https://web.archive.org/web/20180118130643/http://www.mibqyyo.com/en-articles/2015/09/16/ubuntu-android-installation-process-for-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-e5/

Thanks anyway!

@Kelvin-Cheung i just tested the link and it worked for me with Firefox on Mint

Tried copying the article but it was confusing with bits missing. Can try again later if needed.

@Kelvin-Cheung it works for me. Maybe archive.org is blocked by your ISP / Workplace / Country or something like that?

Edit: I posted a screenshot of that site here https://imgur.com/k6mHCjX

Still can't access it. Maybe I'm blocked indeed.

@Lakotaubp @advocatux Thanks!
I followed jamieweb's way to modify ubports-installer(https://www.jamieweb.net/blog/installing-ubports-ubuntu-touch-on-the-meizu-mx4-ubuntu-edition/#fixing-the-failed-remote-unknown-command-error) and got UT installed on my MX4 finally!
This latest method is proved to work and should be topped.
Many thanks to @jamieweb and @AlainW94!

@Kelvin-Cheung Thanks, I might try this I have an old MX4 stuck on the Cannonical Ubuntu Touch I have had issues simply connecting it up to any computer but have had some success with the USB connection more recently, but no luck with installing UB Ports UT.

@halucigenia Tape the phone and cable down when you get a connection. The Mx4 can be a right pain to maintain a connection.
