        Dear UBporters,

        as my M10 Ubuntu Edition was stolen last month I now got my Android M10 that I want to put on Ubuntu Touch of course.
        I was about to follow the Install using system-image server from here but then I read here under Switch from Android to Ubuntu that I'd first have to flash official Ubuntu Touch Edition onto the device.
        Now before I'd brick my device I just wanted to confirm whether this step is necessary prior to flash my Android M10 with the UBports image.

        Thanks!

          @polylux I don't know the answer but I reposted your question in the Telegram Supergroup. Just waiting for someone to answer it.

          The Telegram Supergroup is a perfect combination of information and shenanigans. You should subscribe if you aren't already.

              @polylux the Telegram phone app doesn't work for supergroups. You'll need to use the desktop application https://desktop.telegram.org/ or the web application https://web.telegram.org/

                As a betatester of the FHD M10 UT, I had to flash it once. This was quite easy and did not brick it. I plan to install UBports on it after my vacation (end of August).

                  @guru Thanks, so I have to flash it with the original bq version beforehand. Thing is, when I want to download it from the bq site it tells me my serial is not valid. Hence I don't get any file to download.

                            I have had the same problem that my serial was not accepted. A look into the page source helped to see how the test locally in the browser was done with Javascript and how to trick it 🙂

                                Second step, flashing ubports was an easy task. Transition completed. 🙂

                                  @advocatux said in Flashing Android M10 FHD:

                                  maybe, but I used one of the numbers of the JS and keyed it in 🙂
