The Mx4 can be a right pain to maintain a connection.

I followed jamieweb's way to modify ubports-installer(https://www.jamieweb.net/blog/installing-ubports-ubuntu-touch-on-the-meizu-mx4-ubuntu-edition/#fixing-the-failed-remote-unknown-command-error) and got UT installed on my MX4 finally!
This latest method is proved to work and should be topped.
Many thanks to @jamieweb and @AlainW94!

Maybe archive.org is blocked by your ISP / Workplace / Country or something like that?

Edit: I posted a screenshot of that site here https://imgur.com/k6mHCjX 🙂

Tried copying the article but it was confusing with bits missing. Can try again later if needed.

You can read this now archived article explaining that issue https://web.archive.org/web/20180118130643/http://www.mibqyyo.com/en-articles/2015/09/16/ubuntu-android-installation-process-for-bq-aquaris-e4-5-and-e5/
