      Thnk you @Marathon2422 . Yes all commands are done with root on debian (buster), and sudo su on ubuntu (18.04 LTS).
      Next step, I think I will try this from this post : https://forums.ubports.com/topic/2755/meizu-pro-5-flyme-os-to-ubuntu-touch-modem-update-fingerprint-function

      **Step 1:Unlock Bootloader
      Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SpPqSFQ0b7thvs_f2VqexDxQTBK6bQP5/view?usp=sharing
      Rename to update.zip and put inside your device storage.
      Rebooot to recovery pressing Volume up + Power and choose "System Upgrade"
      Unlock Bootloader 2nd Method: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U09dVhiBJebPMwQ1q99R2RzBC8hErLuI/view?usp=sharing
      Just rename the file to update.zip put in your internal storage go to recovery and update.
      Now your device has an unlocked bootloader.

      Step 2: Flash TeamwinRecovery
      Download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1T30ug5TQqzRxZiKsFk3IhpR5c218N4Pc/view?usp=sharing
      Reboot the device to fastboot pressin Volume Down + Power
      Open a terminal and do the command:

      fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img*
      *

      Maybe a indication here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-pro-5/development/recovery-twrp3-0m86patchedst0rm77-t3469296/post68868682#post68868682

      In the end they write :

      Warning:
      ** If you flash an official update.zip from Flyme, remove bootloader, ldfw & recovery from ZIP
      *
      ** Otherwise you'll find yourself with a locked bootloader ** *

      If it is my case (I don't remeber the details of my first ubuntu touch istall) It means I'm fucked ?

      I still don't understand why is my fastboot seems locked. I hope I'll don't have to re-install flymeOS to unlock that.
      I maye just don't have the good drivers on my laptop : I just install adb and fastboot like this :

      # apt install fastboot adb
      

      Same result after :

      apt install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
      

      Any idea?

    • RE: Meizu pro 5 From ubuntu OTA15 to last ubports

      thank you @Lakotaubp, for development, (the short story). I tried the installer UBports Installer 0.4.14-beta. First time it failed to flash the microcode with fastboot. I tested adb : I see the device, I log in a terminal. But fastboot don't see any device. Test done after :

      $ adb reboot bootloader
      

      After that the meizu Ubuntu boot screen appear (like @ every reboot).

      But the "fastboot device" command executed in root don't show anything. Even after the command :

      fastboot oem unlock
      

      So, I tested without the option "flashing the microcode" and the installer said "OK it works" but the phone screen said approximatively "error, contact meizu", in several languages. The phone reboot with no issue on the older UbuntuTouch sytem like nothing happens.

      First time I installed ubuntu, (phone was flyme) it was with a script found on a forum, I don't still have.

      Here is the code :

      A question is : If it works a first time, It means my phone must be international and fastboot unlocked? No?

      So I will try to investigate why fastboot don't see my device.

    • Meizu pro 5 From ubuntu OTA15 to last ubports

      Hello -all,
      I installed ubuntu 15.04 on a Meizu pro 5 Flyme 64 Go, years ago with this method :
      https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-pro-5/development/tool-ubuntu-touch-installer-t3469304
      Now I'm interested to migrate to the latest stable UbPorts release.
      Can I do that just changing the repositorys in the phone?
