            @kugiigi You might be right. I must have been thinking of the BQ M10 (F)HD line.

              @arubislander @kugiigi is right it was the HD version. Just sorted the original box out. The tablet was FHD just found that too.

                @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).

                          @kugiigi After researching I have come to that conclusion. If it had UT on it it may have been a one off experimental/test/promotional device. Check this out.

                              @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...
