@applee Thank you, I will try that!

@hankschwie, I am currently using Windows but may be able to borrow an Ubuntu machine for this.

Pardon my ignorance but would I be able to accomplish this using Ubuntu booted from a USB stick, or would Ubuntu I need to be installed on the machine?

Thank you both. Using your links, I was able to find and download the firmware and drivers for the M10: https://web.archive.org/web/20160912003135/http://www.mibqyyo.com/descargas/categorias/aquaris-m10-fhd-ubuntu-edition/

I am now stuck with a BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail message but will keep trying.

Error message 4032

I have a BQ Aquaris M10 FHD with Android installed and I am trying to install UbuntuTouch per these instructions:
https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/userguide/install.html#install-on-legacy-android-devices

However, at Step-11 my SP Flash Tool download/update is never able to finish. The farthest I have gotten a red bar that says 100% but never seems to finish.

I suspect that my device is not being detected properly but am not sure what to try next. Does anyone have advice?

@Vistaus I'd potentially be interested in buying it off you if you'd be willing to ship to the US. Feel free to message me if you want to haggle over a price.
