Not do the following flash will brick: unlock BL, update flymeOS4.2.8.2, use this software recovery(not philz);
Now you can enter fastboot or recovery? Or you can send the meizu after-sales,it is free.

Dual Recovery for Honor 7

It's very simply!
We have 2 recovery partition. First - Recovery, Second - eRecovery. eRecovery isn't useful.
I tested flashing TWRP in second partition. Its work!
Fastboot flash recovery2 yourTWRP. Img
For enter to eRecovery power off the Honor, hold vol up and connect to pc
Or type adb reboot erecovery
Cons and pros
+ you have both recovery and can flash OTA updates.
- entering via root and terminal command: reboot erecovery
You have stock recovery and TWRP forever! [emoji6] Before you do full software update
Usefull app from @m_esser - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67463880&postcount=6

good news! good idea!
But without pc connection not usable. No way to recover a backup if you are not near a pc!
What is the trigger to identify a pc connection? 5Volt signal? Bridget contacts?
maybe it will be possible to create a little usb-adapter?

btw: there is a w-lan network inside too, but i was not able to connect to the huawei server or to dl a rescue file, so i think you are right and we can ignore them.
Info: If necessary, you can find the stock erecovery.img as recovery2.img in the v121 full rom. It seems to be unchanged since v121.

Hi,
I am using a dual recovery configuration since several weeks. My personal preference is to install the stock recovery on /recovery and to install TWRP on /recovery2.
In order to get rid of the con mentioned above I have used Tasker and Tasker App Factory to make a small program for that purpose.
This APK is definitively not a masterpiece of software engineering (more a q&d solution) but it does what it should (at least for me) ... it shows a (re-)boot menu with some options the reboot the device into several modes including into eRecovery.
A Screenshot and the APK file itself are attached below.
Requirements:
To use this APK
the phone must be rooted (and therefore the bootloader must be unlocked)
root access must be granted to the app
Other Honor / Huawei devices:
Originally this app was intented to be used only on the Honor 7 phone. In the meantime several users on android-hilfe.de have tested it successfully on other Huawei devices as well. As far as I know by now the app is also working fine for the following devices:
Huawei P8 (GRA-LO9)
Huawei P9 (EVA-L09)
Additional comments:
There is no warranty for this app => you will use it on your own risk!
Due to very restricted spare time I will not provide any kind of support and I don't make any promise to continue development
The app does not check which recovery console is installed on both partitions - that's something you have to keep in mind by your own
The APK was developed on a Honor 7 with west-european firmware PLK-L01C432B330 by using Tasker and Tasker App Factory (decompiling will probably not work)
Credits:
Thanks to
@Sminki for the implementation of TWRP 2.8.7 for the Honor 7
@paulobrien for the implementation of TWRP 3.0.2 for the Honor 7 (the only aspect I am still missing is the option to reboot into /recovery2 from TWRP )
Crafty Apps EU for the powerful and easy to use tools Tasker and Tasker App Factory
AlicaFabienne on android-hilfe.de for testing the app on the above mentioned Huawei devices

Hi,
in addition to the above mentioned con I see another weakness regarding dual recovery configurations.
Whenever the current configuration does not meet your needs you have to re-flash the recovery partitions manually by using adb and fastboot on a PC ... and that's quiet difficult if you are not at home or on travel without a PC.
Because of that I have created a flashable zip file for this purpose. When loading the zip file using TWRP you will be able to choose
recovery configuration
- /recovery: stock recovery + /recovery2: TWRP
- /recovery: TWRP + /recovery2: stock erecovery
- /recovery: stock recovery + /recovery2: stock erecovery
- to install the app "Reboot for Huawei & Honor devices" optionally
The only weakness of this approach is the fact that you need TWRP on one of both recovery partitions because the zip file cannot be flashed with the stock recovery .
For those of you who might be interested the zip file can be downloaded <here>.
Requirements:
To use this flashable zip file
the phone must be rooted for using the integrated apk file (and therefore the bootloader must be unlocked)
TWRP must be installed on one of both recovery partitions
TWRP's screensaver should be disabled to avoid issues with Aroma Installer
the flashable zip file can only be executed on Honos 7 devices with firmware versions PLK-L01C432B313 to PLK-L01C432B330 (no other device and currently no other firmware)
Additional comments:
There is no warranty for this zip file => you will use it on your own risk!
Due to very restricted spare time I will not provide any kind of support and I don't make any promise to continue development
The zip file was developed on a Honor 7 with west-european firmware B330 by using amarullz's Aroma Installer

It's very useful，Thanks for sharing

Just to let you know - I have just made the flashable zip file B370 compatible.
It can be downloaded using the above mentioned link. The zip file has the name "H7-Recovery-Configurator-0.2beta.zip".

hi , I want to debrand my huawei honor 7 to china firmware because it have more feature than Europe firmware but is it worth it ?
is it stable ?

The flashable zip will not work with TL01H ... and the integrated recovery images might be flashable directly but I don't know whether the recovery images will fit to your firmware.
Only for the rebooting apk it is very likely that it will work.

If you don't mind, can you define the perfect? For example; compare with B371.
And what are the differences between TL01H and UL00 rom?
One of them is Dual 4G version, the other is 4G Mobile Edition... I couldn't understand.
Edit: Actually I need 4G+ or 4.5G, whatever you calling.. so CA support is important.

if your hardware work on 4G before debramd it will work after debranding. It deep in SOC, not in FW

[Tutorial] Meizu m2 note bootloader unlock guide

Finally we have a guide to unlock the bootloader of Meizu m2 note. We need Mediatek SP Flash Tool, MTK phone drivers and the images/bin files for unlocking. No modaco superboot, no fake tutorials any more
Now here's the guide:
1. Download the files I provide
Then unzip it. You'll get a folder with FlashTool, Phone drivers and unlock images.
2.Install drivers for Mediatek platform.
3.Flash the temp-unlock-secro.img via Flashtool.
4.Flash secro.img, lk.bin, preloader_meizu6753_65c_l1.bin via Flashtool.
5.Disconnect USB data cable and power on the phone. If you see the "=>Normal boot" sign(it's quite small.......) in the left bottom cornor of the screen, then the unlock is done. You can now flash things in whatever way you like. The guide is over~~~

M1 metal is powered by YunOS, and it have a system service called"AntiRoot". As we all know, the antiroot in YunOS is very powerful which is extremely hard to hack. Now you can only use Kingroot to get "Fake Root",which can't edit the system partition. I'm using m2 note(M571) so I can't help u about that, sorry

Oh, and remember this tutorial WON'T WORK on Meizu M571C (meizu m2 note China Telecom version ). We are still working on that but we don't have the phone to test our work.

Our bootloader has some problems, so it will always shows it is locked, but in fact it can be uocked by my method, and we are able to flash recovery partition. I ported one but it's buggy, so I won't release it until problem resolved. The screen is upside down but touch is ok. Th only way to fix it is to compile the full image, but my computer's performance is so poor.... Could u help me bro?

Sorry i cant help you.. my pc is not powerfull too and i dont have knowladge about it.. I wish someone can help u better.. and you can release custom rom or custom recovery for our Meizu m2 note.. peacee..

This guide only change the ""secro" partition, "preloader" and "lk"(bootloader). It does not depend on your firmware version. So be relax and try it
Hope your Google translater works well

How about in the guide:
And change the Scatter to this file:
Now choose temp-unlock-secro.img and select it.
but it always fails because it is not a scatter but .img

The scatter file is "MT6753_Android_scatter.txt", not the img maybe i insert a wrong picture there

what about mx4 pro (Exynos 5430 Octa) ?

hello we are new to and TWRP custom rom ??

I have build a TWRP recovery from the newest CM12.1 and TWRP source code.
Here's the link: https://mega.nz/#!ychBnTSb!wL6qicJ2KCpwnhHNImEhhk2OGuEKThxcDk2tj0iGuP0
Problems: Sometimes /cache partition can't be mounted. You can flash preloader, lk and secro partition again to solve this.
And the CPU Temperature clock doesn't work. It always shows 0 Degree...... I'll try to fix it.
Other functions works well Try it!
Before you flash it by Flash tool or fastboot or other tools, remember to remove /system/recovery-from-boot.p
That file will restore the flyme recovery at boot~

I would try but it is not clear how to use flash tool can make images of where to load the various files?
thank you

Run Flash Tool.
Load the scatter file first, then click the blank after "recovery", then load the recovery image. Click download then your phone will get TWRP recovery.
Remember to remove /system/recovery-from-boot.p first or your recovery will go back to flyme one

After installing the twrp have you tried to reflash a flyme rom ? Does it works or the official rom have some checks in the zip file to remove ?

[HOWTO] Flash TWRP and Flash CM+GApps [Meizu M2 Note]

Hi to everybody
I'm doing this thread because I've seen that there's a lot of confussion about how to install all this things properly, and I think that concentrating the wide-spread information could help you to get rid of this. First of all I have to thanks @aaawqw and @Moyster for their great efforts.
This is going to be a recopilatory of several sources and personal tips to help you to do this the easiest way. I'm not responsible of bricked phones nor your personal problems.
Please, read the full tutorial before doing anything, to avoid bricks and those things.
PREPARE THE RECIPE
Download these files:
- Unlocking bootloader tool: HERE
- TWRP image from Moyster (creator of LOS14 for our device): here
- If you want to install a modified version of FlymeOS, use this one from Romul35 from 4PDA: here. Original post
- Last LineageOS 14 build: from this thread. PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO THANK THE DEVELOPERS
- GApps: here I recommend the nano option. Choose ARM64 and Android version 6.0.
Put those three last files into your internal memory. If you've got an microSD card, I recommend you to put them into it (it's safer and easier).
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
To unlock the bootloader go to:
- Kevin.MX @aaawqw) post: here
Finally we have a guide to unlock the bootloader of Meizu m2 note. We need Mediatek SP Flash Tool, MTK phone drivers and the images/bin files for unlocking. No modaco superboot, no fake tutorials any more

4.Flash secro.img, lk.bin, preloader_meizu6753_65c_l1.bin via Flashtool. (secro, lk and preloader rows respectively)
5.Disconnect USB data cable and power on the phone. If you see the "=>Normal boot" sign(it's quite small.......) in the left bottom cornor of the screen, then the unlock is done. You can now flash things in whatever way you like. The guide is over~~~

This unlocking guide only works for M571 model. If you try this with a M571C (China Telecom) model, you'll get a bricked phone (very useful if you like paperweights )
THIS METHOD DOES WORK FOR M571H MODEL. DON'T WORRY, THE ONLY ONE THAT GIVES SOME ISSUES IS THE M571C.
The great user @aaawqw states "And Meizu M571C should use the same method of meizu m2 (mini), a shell script for frp unlock. But no recovery images yet…Different hardware and partitions"
Tips to unlock the bootloader easily:
- If you're going to do it from a Windows 10 or 8 pc, have in mind that to install unsigned drivers you'll have to unlock the feature in your pc. A guide to do this: here
- Select the images to flash and hit the Download button before connecting your Meizu (pressing Vol Down button). This will help you if it turns on and off and makes the flashing impossible.
- Download the guide or see the video to correctly follow all the steps. You don't want to lose your phone, don't you? Don't try to mix guides, because you may skip a step and brick your phone. The video and Kevin.MX guide are the same procedure, they both are safe.
INSTALLING TWRP
Once done this part, we'll proceed with the installation of TWRP recovery image. There are two ways, choose the easier to you:
- Flash TWRP from SP Flashtool (original idea from @widagdag. The post: here)
+Turn off your device
+ By using your pc or laptop, extract the TWRP zip for meizu m2 note, there's a file "recovery.img"
+ You can flash it via SP flash tool (clicking the recovery, then select the file)... then click Download, wait until finished!! (Check symbol)
+ You can reboot ur device now, unlocked bootloader and installed twrp!
*The profit is u didn't need to root first and install any flash tool such as Rash, FlashFire, Flashify, etc. saving you some time

- Flash the recovery image from Flyme:
+ Get root access (if you do, skip this step). You can get it downloading Kingroot: here. Just install this apk and follow the steps
+ Unzip TWRP zip into a known folder
+ Download Flashify from the Playstore
+ Grant superuser access
+ (Optional) make a backup of your current recovery going to backup tab
+ Tap Recovery Image
+ Choose a file
+ Find TWRP img that you unzipped before and flash it

INSTALLING CM AND GAPPS
We're close to the end of this post. The final step: installing your desired ROM and GApps. I will flash CM from the thread whose link is at the download section.
I hope you've put it into your memory (internal/external) as we said
Ok so:
- Turn off your phone
- Go into the TWRP recovery (Vol up+power)
- (Optional but recommended) Make a backup of Flyme, just in case you don't like the new ROM and would like to go back to Flyme. If it takes up too much memory, move it to your pc after making the backup.
- Go to Wipe menu
- Go to advanced wipe
- Select these:
+ System
+ Cache
+ Dalvik Cache
+ Data
- Swipe to do the wipe
- Go to install.
- Select your zip image (in my case the cm13 I downloaded).
- Install also the GApps zip file you downloaded
- Restart to System, and check what you've done.
Some final tips:
- Make the backup, seriously, it takes 10 min and you'll have a Flyme backup if you don't like CM.
- If you want to transfer all your apps and their data from Flyme to your new ROM, use Titanium Backup.
- If you want to install Xposed Framework, it's the same procedure: enter into TWRP, tap install, select the zip and swipe.
- This won't delete your images or videos, but I would recommend to transfer them to a microSD card or your PC.
- Yes, you need to do all this to install a custom ROM. Yes, even unlocking the bootloader. Don't try to skip a step if you aren't sure about what you're doing.
I think that's all, I'll update this post if I lost anything.
I hope this helped you to move into CM world. If you have any doubt don't hesitate to ask.
I know this seems exhausting, but trust me, it worths it. Welcome to the custom ROMs world in your Meizu M2 Note. Let the magic begin.
ADDITIONAL GUIDES
RELOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
If you want to relock the bootloader just follow this simple steps:
Flash the original recovery image from Flashtool of from Flashify (the steps are the same as installing TWRP). You can find this image here
From there, install an update.zip (download them from the official flyme web: here and put it into the storage )
Now you have flyme again with a locked bootloader.
INSTALLING FLYME WITH TWRP
It's very important that you don't install an update.zip from the original Flyme page, because you will cause a bootloop. To get the flyme updates, you can follow one of these two methods:
METHOD 1: 4PDA
-Download the modified zips from 4PDA: here]. Translate it to English. It's on custom firmware>Flyme
-Flash them from TWRP
METHOD 2: DO IT YOURSELF
-Download the update.zip file from the Flyme page
-Open it and remove the preloader- files
-Flash it from TWRP. It will give you an error: IGNORE IT.
Reboot and done, you've got Flyme and TWRP.
UNBRICK A PAPERWEIGHT
BIG THANKS TO @numpea FOR THIS:
This just a firmware that has all the partitions and can be used to unbrick to device using SPFlashtool
Here is the link:
FIRMWARE
- Flash temp_unlock_secro.img with sp flashtool like you do when unlocking the bootloader.
- When done, disconnect the device and add the firmware to sp flashtool. You need to select "format all+download", click on "Download" and connect the device. The flashing process will start. After it finishes, the device will start again.
You wil notice that you lost your imei number you can add it back by:
Using MTK Engineering Mode (does not requires root)
Open engineering mode » Click on Engineer Mode (MTK) » Swipe left to Connectivity » click on CDS Information » Radio Information
Click on phone 1 if you want to change your sim 1 or choose Phone 2 to change sim 2 IMEI, follow this guide:
For Phone 1: “AT+ EGMR=1,7,”YOUR NEW IMEI NO” (make sure you add a space in between AT+ & EGMR)
For Phone 2: “AT+ EGMR=1,10,”YOUR NEW IMEI NO” (make sure you add a space in between AT+ & EGMR)
Using Chamelephon (requires root, but much more easier)
Just copy the IMEIS from the phone's box and put them into the app.
hope this is helpful

Moyster xDD :laugh::laugh: Thanks to you, without you this wouldn't have been possible

Pretty much covered all, just state the Armv7 Android level API 21 64bit, 5.1 Micro or Nano for gapps. They might get confused on what to choose.

I include this on the guide. I read it bricked the phone in several cases, but I'm glad yours didn't.

Thanks for your guideline , it helps a lot !

Great work lol
Another thing is…ShevT's recovery has no problem in cache partition.Only my broken recovery did… So remove the cache fixing partAny problem just send me a private message. I'll check when i have time.

And Meizu M571C should use the same method of meizu m2 (mini), a shell script for frp unlock. But no recovery images yet…Different hardware and partitions…
Another thing is, Kingroot is not suggested. It cannot be detected by Flashfire and some other tools. And cannot be replaced by SuperSU. So Kingo Root+SuperSU might be better.

Line 10 to 15 you have the partitions size
Code:
$ cat /proc/partinfo
example :
Name------------Start-------------Size
recovery 0x0000000004840000 0x0000000001400000
Take the Size value : "0x0000000001400000" => hexadecimal to decimal => 20971520 = recovery partition size
PS: I don't think the hardware is "that" different, at least, the kernel meizu released should contain both phone models/drivers

Mine too and it worked. I can't assure you anything, but I think that the problem are m571C which are different. Good luck if you're going to give it a try!

Check the store page you bought it from. If you bought it from China, then probably it's a M571C. Good luck

Please help! I need to relock my bootloader.

Hey guys, how are you? So, let me explain my situation - I have a Redmi 7A (the 16 GB version) and I recently unlocked its bootloader to root, and uninstall some bloatwares ...... I managed to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP recovery, but I was unable to root, and i tried in a lot of ways, in a lot of times........... I'm on version 11.0.6 of MIUI, and I saw that some users here were having problems with this version too. Anyway, recently a MIUI update came out, and soon it will update to MIUI 12, but I'm not able to install the OTA update, after the phone restarts, it goes to TWRP recovery and shows an error message - so, I would like to go back to my original recovery and re-lock my bootloader, but for that I need the original recovery of the Redmi 7A, and I can't find it anywhere........
Someone here have this original recovery available to send or do upload? It would help me a lot! Thanks

If you can't do it, look down and read lesson #3, download ROM zip and txt files for flash via twrp. will definitely work 100%

Soo... I have problem too with root and I make temp root (unsafe method) . Patching boot img is idiot idea now , same as re-lock bootloader . I'm DEV and i'm know (look on my threads if you don't think). Better idea for you is download global rom or rom designed for your region . Actually i wipe my global rom and I install rom with android 10 . I have english only without polish support . All rom's is here : https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/pine/ If you want to unbrick your device , download correct rom , and flash . For your bricked device is only fastboot rom for unbrick . In google you find how to install adb and fastboot drivers , disable check signatures of drivers in your windows , adb and fastboot exe file (if you have windows as me) etc. . Good luck . Disclaimer: After re-lock bootloader , your software and data be bricked , you must flash all with data too . Make copy of data to google or sd card
