      Guess you have but have you tried using the SP flash tool. I used it to put flyme on ut mx4 might work for you.

            @halucigenia Just curious,coming from flyme,did you go into dev mode,and permit OEM unlock.
            Or from UT,switch to dev mode while unplugged then connect and watch that dev page,you should get a window asking to Allow PC to connect,(maybe !!)

              @halucigenia have a gowith the process that I mentioned and see how you get on. This was the only thing that worked for me after being ready to throw it all in and go down the andriod route.

                @UKPhil I can't get the devmode version of MDT to run
                I ran
                sudo apt update
                sudo apt install snapd

                I ran sudo snap install magic-device-tool --devmode

                snap list
                Name Version Rev Developer Notes
                core 16-2.28.1 3017 canonical core
                magic-device-tool 1.0 289 marius-quabeck devmode

                When I run magic-device-tool as my normal user
                I get the message "snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be. Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks"

                When I run sudo magic-device-tool
                I get the message "cannot change profile for the next exec call: No such file or directory"

                Looks like snap is incompatible with my kernel
                snap --version
                snap 2.28.1
                snapd 2.28.1
                series 16
                ubuntu 17.04
                kernel 4.11.12-041112-lowlatency

                I think snap needs an "Ubuntu supported" kernel.
                I will try again when I can reboot into another kernel.

                  The devmode version of MDT doesn't connect to the phone either.

                  There must be something wrong in that adb / fastboot are not running on the phone.
                  Time to give up and just keep on using Cannonical UT until I get a fairphone 2 or something?

                    The problem seems to be that USB isn't connecting at all. The MX4 has a notoriously bad USB connector.

                    You might need to try different ports or cables until you're able to find one that works. Run dmesg -w and plug in the phone. Does anything appear indicating that *hci found a new device?

                        The device with Ubuntu Touch doesn't seem to be working correctly. See if you can plug it in to a USB 2.0-only port. You can also check if there's anything obstructing the pins in the port.

                        The goal is to have an output like your Flyme device.

                          @UniSuperBox I have tried it in a USB2 port and it was in a USB2 only port when I ran dmesg -w

                          The fact that I have switched the USB modules between the devices rules out an obstruction.

                          It must be a hardware issue past the USB port, or a software issue on the UT device.
