@Moem, yeah. But the Ubuntu Touch version is too old. I'll try to migrate it to the last version as soon as I have some experience with that.

The problem with the S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL (1013) was that I was not running SP Flash tools using sudo.

Once I got that running, I flashed a different ROM: 3.0.4_freezerhd.zip. I don't remember where I got that ROM. In any case, if one of you needs the ROM just ask me. I don't know a place for storing it long term, and I'll keep it while I have the device (which will be until it is too old to be usable)

That worked, and my device was able to boot again. It seems that it's almost impossible to brick the device if you have SP Flash tools and the correct ROM, because that tool works low-level and it's capable of downloading a ROM to a dead device.

After recovering the tablet I just followed the instructions:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/install.html#install-on-legacy-android-devices

Once I got the old version of Ubuntu Touch working, I installed the newest one (16.04) using the installer. There was a moment where the device was showing a boot menú but the installer was doing something so I waited. After that, it worked and now I have Ubuntu Touch running.

Thank you very much for the project, guys. It's awesome.

It's almost solved, I will post the solution here as soon as I've finished.

Hi all.

I tried to install Ubuntu Touch in my old BQ Aquaris M10 HD tablet using the Ubuntu app. I think my mistake was connecting the USB cable to a USB3 port (my hub has the two kind of ports) After installing, the boot was stucked in a loop.

Then I used SP Flash tools on an Ubuntu 16 live CD (was unable to run it on 22.04). I formatted all partitions. That resulted in a blank screen.

After that, I tried to download the system using the App (2.6.2_20180126-1034_bq_aquaris_m10_-FW) Everything worked until the end of the process and then it failed with the error:

BROM ERROR: S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_DA_RETURN_INVALID_TYPE (6104), MSP ERROR CODE : 0X00

I tried with a different file (3.0.4_20190325-0835_bq_aquaris_m10-user-FW) Apparently it went well. But the tablet didn't boot. The memory test was passing, etc. but not luck booting.

This morning I connected the tablet againg but now I get s_com_port_open_fail 1013 and can't do anything.

Any ideas about something that I can do to recover it? Help will be very appreciated.

Thank you very much.
