[Solved] Installing process failed with E5 Ubuntu Edition
-
Hello,
I want to post a problem which is similar described in some other posts with different circumstances, but I haven't found an answer there, so I open a new post.
A similar problem can be found in this post:
https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2924/solved-can-not-install-ubports-on-krillin-againI also wanted to reinstall UBports via the UBPorts Installer.
The installer said "Done It is nor safe to unplug the device".
But the phone won't boot, it shows the BQ-logo, nothing else.So I tried to solve the problem according to the link above by flashing an old image with SP_Flashtool.
Unfortunately I can't find the correct image for the BQ Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Edition.
The link of the troubleshooting site contains the Android version.

@mk hi, are you sure that https://storage.googleapis.com/otas/2014/Smartphones/Aquaris_E5_HD/Ubuntu/VEGETA01A-S11A_BQ_L100EN_2017_170207.zip is a wrong image?
Edit: I've checked BQ old download page [*] and I can confirm that's the right image. You can see it by yourself taking a look to the source code of that page.

@advocatux Thank's for your answer. I didn't try the image because the file inside is named "MT6582_Android_scatter.txt". I had doubts about the "Android". I think the BQ E5 Ubuntu Edition and the E5 Android version has different hardware.
Does the platform MT6582 indicates Ubuntu Edition or Android?What could happen if I use the file? Can it cause an "irreparable" situation?
Sorry for my doubts, I just want to avoid a damage.
By the way: I can't use the recovery mode. It freezes in the BQ-logo.

@mk that scatter file is ok. Just be extra-careful when using SPFlash tool, and triple check every step

@mk you need to follow the instructions at http://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/install.html#install-on-legacy-android-devices
