From Philz to Flyme (official firmware) MX4 - Meizu MX

Good evening everyone.
I write because I have a problem with the installation of the CM on my meizu MX4.
I ran perfectly the procedure of unlocking the bootloader, and once unlocked, I flashed the recovery Philz. Later I tried to flash the CM with adb, but in at end it always says "Installation Aborted". I tried with the patched recovery and with cofface, but I just can not flash it.
I then tried to do a wipe cache but no with any recovery that I flashed always appears to me:
"E: Can not mount / cache / recovery / command
E: Can not mount / cache / recovery / log
E: Can not open / cache / recovery / log
E: Can not mount / cache / recovery / last_log
E: Can not open / cache / recovery / last_log "
I read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-mx/general/tutorial-bootloader-unlocking-mx4-m1-t3201715 that I could flash the patched rom deleting the file uboot.img and preloader.bin but I can not find anywhere the second file, and also I'm afraid to brick the phone ... someone has already done it?
Tell me that at least in the future I will be able to install the CM. Loved and hated Flyme.
Sorry for the English and thanks in advance for your reply.

Why you don't install CM from the recovery?

I has this problem also when try to wipe cache. I fix cache mount with "wipe for new rom" option in wipe menu on philz recovery.
After that install cyanogen .zip with recovery.
Now i'm back to flyme but i flash patched flyme4.5.6i-twrp.zip found on 4pda forum, with twrp recovery for mx4.
Here is link for tutorial *4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=689760&st=780#entry43612111*
My MX4 is now on Flyme international version (original was A firmware) and i still have unlocked bootloader and custom recovery.
Everything works fine without any bug.

artlov I installed the recovery and then I did:
1) install zip
2) install zip from sideload
3) MX4 connect to pc
4) open CDM and write "adb devices" enter
5) "adb sideload cm12 ect * enter *
6) sull'mx4 appeared the word "installation aborted" after loading on pc
Now i have flyme 4.2.8.2A with philz recovery.
mmdag82 i don't find on philz the option "wipe for new rom"

"Clean to Install a New Rom" is exactly name of option under Wipe menu

And then i can try to flash CM? By terminal or with file zip on mx4's memory?
Thank you for your answers!

With zip file on mx4 memory

did you tried factory reset because you must do that befor adb sideload and i woildn't do Clean to Install a New Rom because it will delete everything about current system

Yeeah! CM installed! Thanks a lot guys!

There is a solution. Try to reflash the patched recovery.
Now reflash 4.2.1.2 with clean.
Reboot, and reroot, reinstall flashify and terminal.
Do again the tuto step by step.
Try and tell me
Edit : Sorry, i didn't saw you have done ^^

I've done! Not reads SIM but i think is problem of card, cause i tried other SIM that weren't chopped from old SIM card and them run perfectly!

Hey,
hope somebody can help me.
I wanted to install flymeos on my arale until the cm-version is usable for me.
I am only able to install version 4.0.4 i or a but i cannot upgrade nor directly flash a version later than that...
I tried several recoveries (philz, cofface, twrp) and several versions (4.2.8.2i/a, 4.5.6i). Any ideas?
-----------------
EDIT: Recovery logs always tell me that there is no space on /custom left. Do i have to reformat my arale with a android scatter? I installed 4.0.4 and ran fastboot -w. Thought this would be sufficient. /custom is only 4.8M big...

Back from Beta (offical beta1) to stable (HELP)

Hi want go back from Beta to stable but currently its not poosible.
I tried to flash the stable zip file in stock recovery but this wont work, installation aborted after 1-2 seconds with no success. Also sideloading aborted after 47%.
Can anybody help me, are there factory images for flashing to stable stock?
Thanks
flash twrp recovery (via fastboot) and install stable zip through twrp recovery.
I presume you've backed up your files from storage because moving between major releases requires a full wipe;
Do a "Fastboot -w" to completely wipe the userdata folder
Install TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img" (or whichever filename it has)
Reboot the phone into TWRP while connected to your computer
The phone should appear as a drive on the computer, if not go into TWRP and mount folder and make sure data is ticked
Copy over the 4.5.14 release
Try installing that with TWRP which should, in the process, replace the recovery with the official one
See how you get on
You have got to use the specific roll-back image. You can find it at the ob1 announcement forum post

Did Factory Reset in Custom Rom now i have a TWRP Bootloop. (Mediatek)

Hello Guys it´s me again. (i know im annoying )
Well, i did a Factory Reset in dotOS and it Rebooted into TWRP.
However, Normally a Phone would then Perform the Action in the Recovery but in this Case it did not do it. So i Reflashed the Rom.
After that it Rebooted into TWRP again. I Tried to Access the Bootloader with Vol Down + Power. That also Booted into TWRP. After that i Selected Bootloader in the TWRP Reboot Options. That Booted the Phone into the Mode where i Flashed the Recovery but it did not Give me the Options like META MODE, FACTORY MODE etc, when i tapped the Volume Buttons. Only a Black Background with White text Saying :
> FASTBOOT mode...
> device unlocked
I Tried to Restore my Stock TWRP Backup but that did not Solve the Issue. I also tried to Reflash dotOS but same issue.
What else Can i do to get this fixed ? I never had a Problem Like this on any Sony or Samsung Device i tinkered with. Thats why im asking that much.
@Marc_Xperia Do not forget to install no-verity-opt-encrypt zip file or simple disable *system verifier* in kernel ramdisk.

It's very simple
-boot into recovery
-wipe
-advanced wipe
-clear / format cache & dalvik
-reboot _choose reboot recovery
-select mtp file transfer mode in twrp
-push LATEST* magisk zip
-push clean copy of dotOs
-then do FULL WIPE (all) but not your sd or internal sd/data
-install first dotOs zip
-install magisk zip
-wipe cache
-reboot
* If you fail check what is selected under the mount section & report back
If problem persists flash an older version of recovery using SPflashtools and then older version of dotOs with magisk
_do full wipe first
#some new recoveries had errors so make sure you are running ABSOLUTE latest or OLDEST version of twrp
# I haven't tried the last or latest version of dotOs yes ( older versions worked 100%)

Can not install any Custom rom_ TWRP/OrangFox tested

I am trying to install some custom rom, below roms are tested and no way to done it:
Xtended, Pixel experience, PE, MSMXtended!!!
all of them is not possible to install via TWRP or OrangFox!
after zip installation in recovery mode, the device will be on loop on fastboot and/or recovery and nothing happening on this type of installation!
I tested to sideload system.img, boot.img etc...
any help will be welcome.
You NEED to "Format Data" (not "Wipe" > "/data", it's the "Format Data" button).
EDIT: You may need to install a good firmware too, just follow installation steps of the custom ROM...
Im having the same issue did the format fix it?

Guide for install custom ROM
1- boot to recovery
2- select format and type "yes"
3- reboot recovery
4- now wipe data, catch, dalvik catch
5- install ROM and reboot
** Some ROM work only with global vendor. You must first install vendor zip file with twrp (or vendor img with fastboot comment in your pc/linux/mac)
For example: My Mi 9T firmware is (Russian Gobal). I got error when try install Pixel Experience Plus. I install Global Vender with TWRP, then install rom zip file without any problem. (I am on stock miui with locked bootloader now)

Will this be able to format data on Android 10 encryption like SHRP?
Flashed it from fastboot but doesn't come ,only comes fastboot mode ?
Only Sharp works in 10 properly.

It just won't boot. You can still recover from this by enabling the setting in twrp and reformatting data.
You will lose data regardless of this being enabled because this is only used for formatting data. That's what formatting data does

5. reboot recovery
6. format data
7. install miui12
8. reboot
will this steps safely boot my device???
hello. first thank you very much for your hard work. i really apreciate.
so, i was on stock rom, freshly unlock the bootloader and flash twrp unofficial for android 10.
then in twrp i flash the zip installer and reboot to recovery.
once again in twrp i, like i'm use to, wipe successfully dalvik/system/data to erased all of stock rom.
then i format data (the one typing "yes" for confirmation) but it broke internal storage.
twrp does not show any file or folders. i rebooti in recovery but it won't show anything
i reflash twrp and the same... nothing.
so i went to fastboot mode and flash shrp, boot up in recovery but it was still not showing files or folders of internal storage. i wipe dalvik/system/data and reboot to recovey.
and this time it show folder but with codes like "QRGHQ9R4HGVUQE4RNG98TH9324HTG923" OR "66EFQ3KFK4TK34KT3K4K34K2KK2" and so...
what do i 'm doing wrong?
can i format data with out breaking internal storage?
the only thing i can do to get internal storage was flash stock rom again, i have not encrypted anything, i don't use microsd card, even i don't use password to unlock screen.
thanks in advance for your comments.

Ok you performed Format > And type "Yes" , actually this will Format your internal storage as well, RIP for your Data now else you took a backup earlier.
Now connect your phone to your PC with data cable , in mount section check if MTP is enabled if not then enable it , now your phone's internal storage shows in PC transfer Rom flash Zip files to internal storage, disconnect from PC and flash that rom.
Recovery choice is yours SHRP or TWRP
Note - Do not perform format > yes before flashing that zip.

Not able to flash recovery
I am on the latest stock android patch, probably that's why not able to flash recovery.
First I tried TWRP 3.3.1-2 Unofficial by Nikesh Kataria from the other post. As it said it supported android 10 with decryption and everything. But it didn't work.
Now with version 3.4.0-0, I am able to boot into recovery using platform-tools. But the files in /sdcard seems to be encrypted (judging by the codes shown instead of readable folder names).
Could someone please help me suggest any recovery which supports latest stock android 10 with decryption?
Is there a way around this?

Decryption will only work if you format data first. This is with every recovery. Has to be a factory reset of stock ROM or fresh install of custom ROM and from then twrp will be able to decrypt if it is installed, you're not installing it either by the way just temporarily installing it to inactive slot which will get wiped on reboot. For twrp to decrypt you must install it using the installer.zip by flashing it in you're temporarily installed twrp.img

Thanks for the help.
But after booting into twrp, how do I install twrp.zip. I even tried sideload that also errors out "Unable to find partition for path /cache".
May be I am missing some step. But here is what I have done.
Unlocked bootloader.
Booted into TWRP on inactive_slot(i.e. slot_b , in my case) with command fastboot flash boot twrp.img
Trying to install twrp.zip (failing at this step itself).

Some ROM has some recovery integrated within the OS. If i install that and then the ROM, will the ROM's recovery overwrite this?

TWRP Problem with installing Magisk and GSuit and startin sideload

Hi guys, I have a Nexus 6P, and I'm stuck with a problem.
I have twrp 3.40-0 recovery and I from it when I try to start the ADB sideload it doesen't start and in the top menu there is a red text with "Failed" in the console there isn't any error. I've tried re-flashing the twrp recovery and even using the version before but the sideload won't start.
The other problem is: I uploaded to my phone a Havoc ROM, Gsuit and Magisk, so from the recovery I install the Havoc ROM and then I try to install the Gsuit and Magisk but it gives me updater error (Error is: "Updater process ended with ERROR: 1
Error insaling zip file '/data/media..") .
I've tried reloading the file onto the phone (enabling the debug mode in the new os) but again when I try to install them from the recovery the same error shows up again.
What can I do? (Magisk worked because before flashing the new ROM I have installed it and it worked)
Thanks for your help
