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.

Positive Update
Thanks guys for all your posts and words of help. I have over the last few days, been able to get UBPorts on my M10 (after a lot of trying) and now I have r1 under Settings > About >Build Number. It does take a long time to boot up and sticks on the 'Powered by Ubuntu' screen for around 3 minutes, then I see the U|BPorts logon with the flashing dots.
I must say that I was hoping to have more visual ways to tell that I was on UBPorts though. After the first boot up I checked the Settings, but could not tell if I was in UT or U|BPorts, so I rebooted to check that I had the UBPorts logo on boot. To versify the update had worked correct. We need to make U|BPorts look different, so you can tell the difference.
Initially I emailed Marius from the MDT site. Thankfully he replied and gave me the following link (sudo snap install magic-device-tool --devmode). I removed my previous version of MDT and installed the devmode version. This found my device and started the porting process. However, after it had finished I looked and it had installed the previous (clean) version of Touch.
So I then went on to the devices.ubports.com site and followed the 'Install using system-image server' method. This worked and now I am running UBPorts. This means that I can have Dekko 2, winch I really like.
Thanks again for all your help and thanks to Marius.
