Hi all,
third time lucky I hope as my email doesn't show any context on 
launchpad, so I have removed the links in the body.

I wonder if anyone could help.
I have Meizu Pro5 (Android originally) , I installed Ubuntu Touch on it, 
not through ubuntu-device-flash but through TWRP.
I have tried numerous times to flash Ubuntu Touch.The turbo recovery was 
flashed successfully and adb list the device in recovery mode. U-d-f 
managed to download and push all files to phone and it rebooted to 
recovery to flash it, but within a second a message on screen appears : 
,,update failed, contact support''.

I have tried also flash Ota-11 and update ota and again it downloaded 
all files and rebooted to recovery and again ,,update failed, contact 
support''
All other updates of apps are installed without any problem.
Could that be a problem within a recovery, naybe a new version would 
work or is it because it was Android phone originally and might have a 
different partition table or? But then again I could flash the turbo 
recovery and the PC it recogise as adb device.

Could anyone help with this?
It's only because of lack of official Ubuntu phones, so we have to tweak 
Android versions, sad though.

Thank you.
Regards,
Stefan.
