img files and install from fastboot?
-
I am completely comfortable with flashing OS's via fastboot. Is it possible to lay hands on .img files which can be directly flashed onto the device?

Ok, dug through the source to obports-installer, looks like most of the goodies hang off of:
https://system-image.ubports.com
In particular:
https://system-image.ubports.com/ubports-touch/16.04/devel/hammerhead/index.json
which tells you where to get bits for various versions. The latest, currently 72, says that there's bits at :
/pool/device-e34756d822387fa9371568fa42292f8baf76d79ec7f2cee0f5c002b909dc08f5.delta-device-cc610cfc131187e182588a0f9c7c5c23ba769679708a4ba08b16878f4e93c101.tar.xz
which, once you pull it and "xzcat device-e3* | tar -xvf -" will give you boot, recovery, and system img files. I booted just to the bootloader and fastboot flash'ed those partitions, and my phone still boots OK. So I guess I'm at least sorta on the right track....
