@MrT10001 Oh, looking at that chart... It has the Android edition top part, but doesnt have the buttons, still worked on android somehow... May have been a scrapped newspaper or developer version that went into the hands of someone? This was a kid's main phone before i got it. It was in the Mediamarkt electronics bin in Terrassa Parc Vallés of all places, the bin was full, with that phone on top. Im a bit ashamed of grabbing a phone off a bin, but that gives some backstory.

RE: No support for bq Aquaris E5 FHD
@MrT10001 Yeah, the resolution is perfect (somehow), and this is quite the wierd machine, ubuntu edition text on the back, FHD screen and i think CPU, or maybe its still using the CPU from the HD version? IDFK, and the blacked out buttons like in the ubuntu edition. When i got it it had Android 5 and dog photos, i gave it to my cousin until i gave her another, and i saw that ubuntu edition text, funnily enough the buttons worked in android? Oh, and i destroyed the IMEI in the process of flashing...

@MrT10001 I dunno, its VERY wierd. The phone has specifically engraved UBUNTU TOUCH EDITION. I think no one cared about that model and it went into obscurity...

RE: No support for bq Aquaris E5 FHD
@arubislander Exactly! That's why I'm looking for the Canonical factory zip. Since BQ's servers are dead, do you (or anyone) have a mirror of the original vegetafhd factory firmware? I need the MT6592 scatter and the raw images to prep the partitions before I move to UBports. Android Lollipop is a dead end!

No support for bq Aquaris E5 FHD
I have a bq Aquaris E5 FHD, and i cant find any build, like not even Canonical's one, ive even searched in https://system-image.ubports.com/ im desperate! And its not like i can just go to the website and search it, because bq went out of buisness! So if someone has a link to the zip file with the images and the MTK scatter file, it would help a lot! You can't do much with Android Lollipop.
Just a reminder to anyone helping: I specifically need the FHD (1080p) version, not the HD (720p). The HD files use the MT6582 scatter, while my FHD model needs the MT6592 scatter. Using the wrong one will result in a hang/bootloop in the bq screen, thanks!
