BQ M10 FHD bricked upon UBport install?

[dbosley]

FreeJohn,
No, I was able to get to the screen with the Fastboot option using the volume up/power button option. it was there that I had difficulty. When I booted with just the power button, I got a screen similar to your first picture with 'ubuntu' on it.

@marathon2422 Ubuntu uses 8.4 GB on my M10. I have noticed a long boot time on it compared to the Cannonical load. Also, in case I was not clear, this is an M10 Ubuntu Edition vice Android.

@dbosley looks like you could flash twrp,wipe it and reinstall ubports to get back about 4 gb

[Marathon2422]

@dbosley the boot time is fixed about devel r41 or 42, it should come together n the next few days when OTA 3. Is released ( you may need to keep checking,to get it)

[dbosley]

Thank you. I'll try after some research. (I'm old and a noob.)

Marathon2422, I find Twrp for an Aquaris M10 FHD (FreezerFHD) but not for an Aquaris M10 Ubuntu Edition (Meizu). Am I missing something or should the FHD version work here as well? -Thanks in advance. Dave

Use bq flash tool to install old UT and when that is flashed succesfully then go for UB installer.

@abernator. a small tip,plug up to your PC and have the sound on,when going from the orange state to fastboot,on button and vol up,don't release the vol up,wait for a vibration,then release the on button,and wait for the fastboot screen. It may take a couple of tries,the first attempt may not do anything,( of course you have plenty of battery,even though you are cnnected to the PC ?).
