Ubuntu on Meizu Pro 5 (not Ubuntu Edition) - Meizu Pro 5 Questions & Answers

Hello everybody,
I wonder if you can install Ubuntu Touch on the Meizu Pro 5 (5 Meizu Pro M86) because I find nothing yet.
Thank you for your help. (Sorry for my English but I'm French so I have a little trouble to speak properly)

Yes I am 99% sure it can be done. I bought a Ubuntu Edition and I just flashed it with flyme and a little later with Cyanogenmod. It's just a Unlocked Unrooted M86. You can install TWRP easily. You can find the instruction to install Ubuntu here: http s:// wiki.ubuntu. com/Touch/Devices (remove spaces, stupid policy doesn't allow me to post URL or in the development thread .)

MX 4 Pro-Unlock bootloader

Hy guys ,there's a way to unlock bootlader on mx4pro?? i've an A firmware on it ,there 's a way to install an I version??????
no there is no way to unlock it
you cant install "I" firmware if your phone originally had "A" firmware or "U" or "C"
and now most important part.... "I" firmware wont be good as "A". "A" firmware always will be way ahead of any other and "I" firmware will be updated last and will be updated rarely.

Absolutely right. Why put something that is not true. That tutorial is rubbish. Takes you to a Ad/Survey site. Just a
way to exploit people. I looked all over XDA for the original post, couldn't find it !!

I saw examples with TRWP and CWM installation for unofficial firmwares (CM, MIUI).. after analize it I made 2-in-1 script install-recovery.sh - volume up pishing started TWRP, volume doun pushing strted CWM.. for TWRP recovery I made two firmware based on 4.5.6I and 4.5.7I it will correct installing, also I made firmware for CWM recovery, but it unfortunaly - I have some error in installation process - may be I used not correct update-script or have some error in updater-script - but it's dosn't matter - I fix it in the future
I made firmware for CWM installation
I'll be waiting flyme 5 release for CWM adaptation..

So, Flyme 5 has been released, I would like to work on porting a custom recovery, but have never done this before. Can someone point me in the right dirction to do this? I am running the stable 5.1.5 firmware on my MX4 Pro
1. If you have international version meizu device you can install any firmwares from stock recovery..
2. If you have chinese version meizu device you can change ID device from chinese to international and... see pont 1

Mi Max Helium 3gb/64gb - first review (and ROM flash tips)

Hi,
guess this will be more of a review as it is hard to say which feature i like BEST:
Got my MAX 3gb/64gb (helium) delievered yesterday. Since it came with the 7.3 MIUI first thing i had to do was read up on how to install the MIUI8 China dev rom to the device. After a bit of fiddling and translating chinese / indian websites i came up with a workable solution, even with the bootloader locked. So since yesterday evening i got MIUI8 6.6.23 running on the device - weeded out some apps i did not understand (chinese) and installed Play Store.
So far i must say - this phone is glorious. MIUI8 is fast and seemingly stable, i did not come across any big bugs and there doesnt even seem to be the typical micro-stuttering. Im really happy i bought the phone and hoping there will be a multilanguage (i.e. german) MIUI8 for it. For now im perfectly good with the Dev Rom and english localisation.
Thanks Xiaomi!
To anybody interested - flashing the China Development ROM (MIUI 8 6.6.23) with the locked bootloader was not exactly easy, here is how to:
- get the rom image from here: http://en.miui.com/thread-299033-1-1.html (be sure to download the Mi Max Pro fastboot image - 1418mb)
- get MiFlash Beta from here: http://xiaomitips.com/download/new-miflash-beta-one-click-install-miui-fastboot-rom/
- extract tgz fastboot image - keep folder structure!
- enable developer options -> usb debugging in additional settings then turn off phone
- boot phone into EDL mode (phone off, press simultaneously vol+&vol- then connect usb cable)
- open miflash beta - there should be an entry with "id 1" and "device" something like "COM10" in the bottom table now - SEE ATTACHED SCREENSHOTS!
- select the folder where extracted image is located
- tick "clean all" in the bottom right
- hit flash
- enjoy.
First of all, thank you for sharing this. I went step by step (vol up and down didn't work for me, tried power and vol up and device didn't show up in fast boot, did vol down and power and it showed up) then I flashed the image and it successfully flashed, when the device booted it still showed the 7.4.16 global stable Rom the vendor installed : /, I did it again and the same thing, the rom didn't change. could you please help/?
Sorry, I followed the steps exactly as described and it worked out perfectly, thank you very much, its just that when I pressed vol + and - I didn't see anything on the screen so I thought it wasn't working, miui 8 is nice indeed, could you explain how you installed the play store, the one on the Mi store is crashing on me.
it's a little tricky but there is a thread on here that should get you started. you have to use the Google installer and then update some Google components before you restart your phone.

Nothing is impossible... Unlock bootloader (not even required anymore), flash TWRP, flash latest SuperSu or prerooted ROM... Done.

6.6.23 is older (june 23)
6.7.7 is the newest sofar (July 7)
I use the weekly multi rom on my MI Max since its better tuned with translations and the china apps that I don't use are removed
https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/6-7-7-11.32639/
the process for installing the new Version does not change with the newer miui8 6.7.7 so you're good to go with the same Instructions from OP.
Meanwhile on my Max I have boot loader unlocked and root. Works flawlessly with the new MIUI weekly Releases.

Would you mind pointing that thread where it's explained?
Thanks a lot for you experience sharing,
I was wondering maybe you solved this: i can't get whatsapp to run on this rom, even with all permissions given, whatapps and skype cant access my contacts. I got my contacts on the system using the old google installer apk which worked wonders except now i can't get past the looking for backup screen in whatsapp.
If anyone has ideas pls let me know and in the meanwhile i will try to flash other roms to see if one works..
I answered my own question playing with the settings. You have to register under accounts mi accounts to unable contact sync for all apps .... ? anyway it all works now!
BTW I have updated MUIU using http://en.miui.com/download-302.html#446 new dev rom and followed instructions.

Thanks heaps for the tutorial about installing Google Play services
By the way, can this rom you're talking about be flashed following the instructions by original poster?
Do I need to flash in first place the rom from original poster (MIUI 8 6.6.23) and then flash your new one (MIUI 8 6.7.14)?
Or can I flash directly latest one?

I can't tell you for sure but i think you have to use the instructions from the muiu site if you want the lastest dev rom.
1- I used OP instructions and links to install muiu 8
2- updated to last china dev rom following muiu site instructions.
3- installed all gapps stuff
PS if you want to ROOT, do this between 2 and 3: (unlocked boot loader)
1-Download SuperSu to root Xiaomi Mi Max and copy it to your phone sd card from this site: http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
2-Download xiaomi twrp flasher and use it to flash from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/tool-xiaomi-twrp-flasher-mauronofrio-win-t3405207
3-Follow instructions from step 9 : http://www.stechguide.com/root-install-twrp-recovery-xiaomi-mi-max/
Last thing im playing with trying to activate LTE bands on the phone. If anyone can help for that, i can't get the drivers to install propertly

Hello everyone,
I have a hybrid tablet is the nextbook flexx 11. I installed the Phoenix OS successfully, but when booting to the OS, the screen is vertical display of the tablet rather than horizontally when the keyboard dock (both Remix OS It is very difficult to do). I tried the auto-rotate screen but failed, so still. I think it does not pick up the sensor. Please let me ask you how to fix this. Any help or comment received a sincere thanks from me.

Thank you all.

Hi, anyone with webwiew problems ? it just keep crashing...with xdalabs and some others apps as well. i did update webwiew but nothing changed...
Edit: mybad, I did switch multiprocessor webview in developers tab, turning back solved
Read up on libhoudini. I think Nougat x86 has only partial support for it. This might be the cause of problems.
Phoenix 2 will most likely stay alpha/beta for a long time.
Hey Vioner, any word on if the Nexus 7 image will be updated to 2.0? or will it be left on 1.1? Absolutely love Phoenix as an Android ROM, the desktop interface is exactly what I was looking for in a tablet ROM. It's too bad that Canonical dropped Unity 8 and Ubuntu Touch (I understand UBports is to be picking it up and switching it to wayland) because other than Phoenix, UT was the only other ROM that have the experience I've been looking for, so it will be sad to see Phoenix drop support (though completely understood)
@ShadowEO
I've just asked Phoenix OS officials about this. We'll see what they'll say.
One thing is for sure. They base their ROMs on AOSP and AFAIK most recent branch for Nexus 7 is Marshmallow.
The reason why they released a Phoenix OS 2.0 preview build for Nexus 9 is because it has official Nougat support.
I also asked them if they plan to do any updates for Nexus 7. I'll let you know.
@ShadowEO
I've the response. Phoenix team will release new versions only for Nexus 9. Older devices support is "dead". I'm sorry

Hello everyone!
I have a ZenPad ASUS ZenPad 3S 10(Z500M), it is currently running the Chinese version of the ROM.
Android 6.0
Kernel ver: 3.18.19
[email protected]#1
MRA58L.CN_Zenpad-13.0610
I would like to change the Chinese Firmware version, to any other. The Chinese version doesn't come with any Google services/apps installed, so it is a bit annoying.
If you could help me with any ways to do this, I would really appreciate it.
Cheers!

(jumping into an old thread, since I inherited a Z300C)
nothing but normal, Z300C (P023) are x86 Intel Atom, while Z300M are MediaTek / ARM one.

I hope someone sees this. How do I upgrade my Meizu pro 5 to Android 9?

I'm sorry that a phone (Meizu Pro 5, Android 5.1? Flyme 5.1.2.0G) with such a powerful processor cannot work properly because its firmware is outdated. Therefore, I had the idea to upgrade it to 7 - 9 android. Help please, I'm not a geek and not a programmer, I'm a noob in these matters. There are no normal guides on the Internet, because this phone is already 7 years old.
P.S: I used a translator, sorry for the mistakes

You can upgrade the device only as long as the OEM has provided such upgrade, search for the latest stock firmware that is available for your device, you can´t go far more, this is by official methods.
If you want to use some custom (not official) ROM that was developed for your device, then search in the forum section "ROMs, kernels, Recov..." I saw there is something on 7.1
