        If I recall correctly you need to install the Canonical image from bq website before you can upgrade to UBports version of Ubuntu Touch.

          @shargar MDT is deprecated, you need to use the ubports-installer but please answer these questions before: what OS is in your table now? what OS is running in your computer?

          Also you can take a look to the install instructions in French https://docs.ubports.com/fr/latest/userguide/install.html

                @shargar perfect, as you can see in that instructions you need to install the "old" Ubuntu Touch before installing UBports.

                Be very careful using SP Flash Tool.

                            @shargar do you have your tablet in developer mode and usb debugging allowed?

                            Have you tried a different usb cable?

                            Edit: check you have OEM unlocking on too
                            Edit 2: Oh, I'm remembering now. Do you have modemmanager installed on your Ubuntu? IIRC you need to remove it because is incompatible with SP Flash Tool
                            Edit 3: Hmm here (https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/aquaris-m10-with-android.html) it says you can avoid that error running the tool with sudo

                              The BroM error is usually, a usb driver problem.
                              i have the fhd model,
                              in terminal i run
                              / sudo fastboot devices/
                              then start
                              / ubports-installer /
                              and run the installer.
                              i looked on "BQ support and could not find ubuntu for hd model,here is the link for FHD model ,it may help you search.

                                @advocatux. Yes, my tablet is in developer mode, usb debuging, and OEM unlocking.
                                My cable is ok, i see it with "sudo adb device".
                                To run the tool, I double click on it. I don't understand how to run it with sudo ? "sudo flash_tool" in a terminal ?

                                  @shargar The link below is nothing to do with Ubports but will as @advocatux has said show you how to remove the modemanager quicker and better than I can type the instructions
                                  http://www.mibqyyo.com/en-articles/2015/09/16/ubuntu-android-installation-process-for-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-e5/#/vanilla/discussion/embed/?vanilla_discussion_id=0
                                  Its near the top from point 3 down. If you have modemanager it will not work as far as I know.
                                  Hope this helps all the best.

                                    Hi ! It's ok for me. I did it. I try to explain with my magic english. So, in my case, the problem was I started the flash_tool without sudo. I went to the tool's files and I wrote sudo ./flash_tool and let's go
                                    Before I tried with modemmanager remove without sucess...
                                    For french peoples : Attention l'outils flash_tool doit être lancé avec la commande sudo ./flash_tool dans un terminal. Avant, bien se place rdans le bon dossier avec la commande cd
