No support for bq Aquaris E5 FHD
-
@Lakotaubp Then I guess the OP can abandon hope.
-
@arubislander said in No support for bq Aquaris E5 FHD:
No, it was officially supported by Canonical. Even came with UT pre installed.
That I know, but when a device has so little information on it, even sales documents, one must assume it wasn't popular and was probably eol of a line or an inbetweener. There is plenty about the HD version though.
What I did find was this however useful this is! (Downloads work, but it is not UT so meandering.....)
I am surprised there is no Canonical archive.

@tacetion as being said before, unfortunetly, the supported devices we Krillin (E4.5) and Vegeta (E5 HD) but not the E5 FHD (Trunks?)

@MrT10001 I dunno, its VERY wierd. The phone has specifically engraved UBUNTU TOUCH EDITION. I think no one cared about that model and it went into obscurity...
-
@tacetion Where do you see that engraving? We're sure that that model never had a UT port.
And even the supported ones are already unsupported now. They're stuck with xenial (16.04). That's 2 major versions down at this point (24.04 Noble). -

@MrT10001 Yeah, its a prototype. It has the FHD screen but HD hardware
-
@kristatos That is UT 15 for HD, but it worked for me cause i have a prototype phone. Thanks a lot!
-
@tacetion so is it up and running with UT? A prototype is well worth keeping, collectors may seek something like that out..... It could also have had a screen replacement...
-
@MrT10001 Yeah, the resolution is perfect (somehow), and this is quite the wierd machine, ubuntu edition text on the back, FHD screen and i think CPU, or maybe its still using the CPU from the HD version? IDFK, and the blacked out buttons like in the ubuntu edition. When i got it it had Android 5 and dog photos, i gave it to my cousin until i gave her another, and i saw that ubuntu edition text, funnily enough the buttons worked in android? Oh, and i destroyed the IMEI in the process of flashing...
-
@MrT10001 Oh, looking at that chart... It has the Android edition top part, but doesnt have the buttons, still worked on android somehow... May have been a scrapped newspaper or developer version that went into the hands of someone? This was a kid's main phone before i got it. It was in the Mediamarkt electronics bin in Terrassa Parc Vallés of all places, the bin was full, with that phone on top. Im a bit ashamed of grabbing a phone off a bin, but that gives some backstory.
