      FYI I'm new to ubuntu touch and android tools although I am a developer...

      So I went about trying to flash my Fairphone 2 (latest 1.5.1 update) with Ubuntu Touch. I'm on ubuntu 16.04 and I first tried installing tools as specified in the official Ubuntu docs: https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/phone/devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/

      It seems that adb and fastboot from the ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa is not up to date however since I adb and fastboot would not work with this version. Thus I downloaded the android SDK and got adb and fastboot to work. To get the ubuntu-device-flash to pickup the proper adb/fastboot binaries I moved repo-sourced binaries and symlinked the binaries from android SDK to /usr/bin/<adb|fastboot>

      Finally thinking I was good to go I ran (as root):
      ubuntu-device-flash --server=http://system-image.ubports.com touch --channel=ubuntu-touch/stable --device=FP2 --bootstrap

      Having already downloaded the files with previous runs it seemed to start working outputting:
      2016/07/26 17:34:27 Device is |FP2|
      2016/07/26 17:34:28 Flashing version 8 from ubuntu-touch/stable channel and server http://system-image.ubports.com to device FP2

      Until I got: "Failed to enter Recovery"

      It appears that nothing happened at all... I was afraid I had bricked the phone but it just boots back into Android as usual after reboot.

      Any ideas on how to move forward?

        Hi,

        i think you forget the "--bootstrap"

          Hi Marc,

          Actually, I only forgot it when writing the post. In reality I tried both but the one without bootstrap goes nowhere since it appears to require adb which is not available in bootloader mode..
