My tutos about how to flash bq E4.5, Meizu MX4 and Nexus 4.
Why? You can change to stable or RC proposed images. Replace any ‘stable’ by ‘rc-proposed’ in this tuto if you want to try the proposed images.
You'll erase any data in your phones.
What will you need in your Ubuntu Desktop?
These packages:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-device-flash
sudo apt-get install phablet-tools
What will you need in your phone?
Unlock the bootloader. Any Ubuntu Phone has that boot unlocked.
USB in developer mode. Then, you should see your phone from PC:
costales@dev:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
0065f7f61916b80b device
costales@dev:~$
Then, reboot the phone into that bootloader:
costales@dev:~$ adb reboot bootloader
costales@dev:~$
Flash Nexus 4
I flashed my Nexus 4 from Android to Ubuntu Touch.
Do you see the device into the bootloader mode?
Unlock OEM:
costales@dev:~$ sudo fastboot oem unlock
[sudo] password for costales:
