Sorry this is above what I can help with. I'm sure someone here will have the info. Try the Ubuntu forum touch section there is advice on this on there on flashing to ubports and back again andon github. I don't remember having any issues so lacking advice. I think there is also another thread on this forum about thus issue but again not sure where try searching m10 andsee what comes up. Will have a nose around myself later. Last bit of blindingly obvious info the image your trying to flash is the one for the m10 fhd. I'm sure it will be but you never know. Apologies if this is more hinderance than help.

@guru This is the output that I get:
sudo strace -f -o /tmp/ubuntu-device-flash.tr ubuntu-device-flash
sudo: unable to resolve host uklaptop
Unknown command `ubuntu-device-flash'. Please specify one command of: core, personal, query or touch -
@Lakota Thanks, I look forward to getting UBPorts on my M10's
-
@UKPhil Lokate where the command 'ubuntu-device-flash' is exactly and call it with full pathname. ANd ofc you must add all the other flags you posted.

Please if someone finds a solution, send us the infosHow long is the time frame between 'Waiting for device to enter recover mode ...' message and the 'Failed to enter...' message?
As I said two days ago, I would use the tool 'strace' to sniff-up what is exactly the problem. If the above time is long enough, let's say some 10 secs, one could fire up the tracing from another terminal session, if not one must launch the full command below strace.

For me, it takes around 2 min ,just the time to completely download the file , then ´failed to...´
At the same time on the screen tablet, 10s after the start it exits from fastboot to return on thefastboot ,recovery menu -
Maybe a simple sollution: Have you tried to download and flash the recovery manually and the flash with ubntu-device-flash ommiting the bootstrap and recovery from the command???
Some Pro 5 users had similar problem and were able to flash it that way. -

This si the same for me. I think it is doing something when it goes back to the fastboot screen, but nothing happens. I initially thought it may be due to the battery being low, but this still happens on a full charge.

Some Pro 5 users had similar problem and were able to flash it that way.This is totally new to me, can you step me through how to do this. I have had a look and I wonder if it is running this command in my laptop, that had the tablet connected to it?

Just looking at this site Install Ubuntu nd it is talking about enabling read/write. Is this something that we may need to do in this situation to get the image on out M10's?
In the Andriod systems you have to enable developer move and then "Enable USB Debugging" or the laptop cannot see the device. I know there is no Enable USB Debugging option in Touch, but if it is not enabled in Andriod, this would cause the issues we are having here. Strange.

@Marathon2422 Looking at the links that you have supplied, does the device need to be unlocked, or is this just Andtiod?
You unlock the device by typing:
fastboot oem unlock -

Perhaps you could try to do this:
@jamesp said in Can't get the M10 FHD to take the flash:
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.imgAnd 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.

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.
But i would recommend to postpone UBports installation to M10 until those super annoying bugs are fixed.

Tonight I followed the Readme on the magic-device-tool site and I installed:
sudo apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
I then tried to run the tool and still 'Device not found'
I then tried to run in sudo su, but still 'Device not found'
I tried to run sudo bash but I got the following:
sudo: unable to resolve host uklaptop
This really should not be so hard.

@abernator Thanks for this, so the only way to install UBPorts on my M10 is to re-install the latest version of UT and then try to install UBPorts from there.
This seems to be a long way around when the device is not found.
-
Don't know if the above helps but it might be useful in some way.
-
@Lakota This was what worked best for me, I had the sound turned up,,,with the device turned off,,and unplugged,,after I clicked on the Download, I plugged in the device and listened to the PC sounds as it connected,then it would start the process ~~~ but you must have the drivers installed and working IE authorized by win10 etc.

You could try to perform just format with bq tool if that helps. There is clear cache in fastboot mode also, but not sure if that is the same thing. At some installation i couldn't get it to flash until i performed format.
