There are currently 4 out of 5 links to the legacy devices rom that are not working, redirecting users to an error page.
In particular, Bq E4.5 (krillin), Bq E5 HD (vegetahd), Bq M10 HD (cooler), Bq M10 FHD (frieza) are not working.
Meizu MX4 (arale) is the only currently working link.

This is more or less uncharted territory.

it seems it became a bit more uncharted :( those were strange links to begin with ... some binary file on someones google file share ...

fwiw, ubuntuusers.de is now linking to some other forum where there supposedly is a link to a telegram channels where some binary files are being shared ...

Checked it out, if I'm not mistaken, that telegram group only hosts the android roms, not the UT ones needed to make the first conversion of legacy devices before updating them with ut installer

As per ubuntuusers.de, the links they provide to those legacy devices ut fw, are the very same as the ones os docs.ubports, therefore broken as well

This is the cooler legacy image, uploaded from a handy backup on my laptop. The upload will only persist for a week, but hopefully that should suffice.

Thanks guys! Images have been placed here: https://cdimage.ubports.com/stock-bq-images/

Does one of you want to make a PR to fix the docs? I could do it, but I usually struggle to find someone to review my PR's, so it will be fastest if someone else proposes and I review.

Yeah, I can do that fairly soon :) I've been practicing Git-fu over the past couple of weeks.
