      @Marathon2422, on the other hand you can't get rid of Android completely. UBports need some Android shit to run.

        @jamesp, I think you have to run fastboot lock (without oem).

        That's the recommended way by Google https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6185381?hl=en

        fastboot lock was not recognized command.

          Solved the problem by installing latest bq UT with bq:s own flash tool. After that i enabled developer mode and UBports installer detected M10 and this time it started installing it and got to the last point where it was supposed to flash device, but yet again was stuck with "installing Ubuntu update"

          But then in bootloader i gave the old command:

          sudo ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --device=frieza
          --channel=15.04/stable --bootstrap --recovery-image=recovery-frieza.img

          And UBports finally installed to M10 succesfully.

          Here you can download bq firmware and if you don't have Ubuntu version use code: ML000555 to download it.

          http://www.mibqyyo.com/en-download/categorias/aquaris-m10-fhd-ubuntu-edition/

          But all is not well! There still is this weird ~3min delay with the splash screen before UBports boots? bq ubuntu booted instantly. Is this a bug in UBports firmware or are there still some weird issues with my M10? Everything else seems to work just fine.

            @jamesp yep , well done for being persistant i just re flashed mine , 3 min boot delay, and most likely it will not keep your wifi password in memory.

              Same Problem here. Can't flash M10 FHD with Magic Device Tool out of the box. I did not tried the workaround from Alex above. Should I? Or should I wait for an updated MDT flash...?

                My wifi password stays in memory.

                So that boot delay is known bug? Is anything being done to that?

                  Mdt never worked for me. Try the terminal way. Do you have ubuntu in it already?

                    Yes, Ubuntu (OTA 15) is on it. I'll try the terminal way tonight.

                      Only the step-by-step guide from Alex works for me. There are no apps like libreoffice, is it right?

                              Yes, you need to install that package:
                              sudo apt install android-tools-adb

                                Hi everyone,
                                I've bought an android M10 FHD (this version was one sale) quite some time ago in order to get ubuntu working on it. With Canonical the end of maintenance on their side I felt somewhat desperate, so thanks UBports for keeping this awesome project alive!

                                Anyway, I've tried to install Ubuntu on my M10 using Magic Device Tool and after completing all the steps I arrived on the "Do not reboot manually!" and "Wait until it reboots on its own!" in my terminal and the tablet was only saying "=>FASTBOOT mode...".
                                I've been waiting quite some time (~1h) with this screen on and not much happening and decided to reboot via fastboot (using fastboot reboot-bootloader, so not really manually in case fastboot was still busy) and try the command line way. The reboot went fine and got me to the bootloader. I thought I would give a try an other day and turned the tablet off.

                                However I am now unable to turn it on: turning it on gets me to the android screen with a "Orange State. Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted. Your device will boot in 5 seconds" message and remains stuck there forever (meaning >2 hours...), never booting. If I try to boot in recovery mode the android screen appears (without the previous message) get stuck for ~10 secs and reboots without reaching recovery. It then get stuck on the android screen with the orange state message.

                                I cannot access my tablet with adb or fastboot in any of those states... Do you have any idea onto how to repair this? Is my tablet bricked?
                                Extra information: I can turn the tablet off normaly

                                Thanks!

                                  Could you try the UBports installer? If that gives you any trouble, please create a new thread and we can help you out there.
