trying to port to pro 5 using below : then nothing happens , any ideas ?

24 Meizu PRO 5 (turbo)

How to install
Install using system-image server

Install the required tools:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash phablet-tools
2. Reboot your device into fastboot mode and Connect your device with an USB cable to your computer.

Download adb unlocked recovery: http://cdimage.ubports.com/devices/recovery-turbo.img

wget http://cdimage.ubports.com/devices/recovery-turbo.img
4. Flash your device using this command: (NOTE! This will wipe your phone!)

sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=turbo
--channel=ubports-touch/legacy --bootstrap --recovery=recovery-turbo.img

Just get this ..

j@desktop:~$ sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=turbo \

--channel=ubports-touch/legacy --bootstrap --recovery=recovery-turbo.img
unknown flag `recovery'
j@desktop:~$

I think the correct flag is --recovery-image=[Downloaded adb recovery image]

--recovery => --recovery-image

@zx81 Try this in the recovery mode(Ubuntu not TWRP)

sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=https://system-image.ubports.com / touch \ --download-only --revision=2 --device=turbo --channel=ubports-touch/legacy \

@Stefano

This will not work as you don't specify the recovery image. Also you've put it into download-only mode, which won't install any part of the OS.

@UniSuperBox
So how come that it installed it on mu Pro 5?
There must a bug or something, but it downloaded and installed the Ubports image that I'm now using.
I manually flashed the recovery right before that.

I know that --download-only is intended for only downloading the files, that's what I wanted to do, but right after ubuntu-device-flash downloaded the files, it pushes them to cache and rebooted to recovery and started flash it over.
I was baffled as well.
