Thanks for the great work!
At last we're getting closer to opening up our meizu phones.
Can the phone with this, unlocked bootloader flash "I" international roms from OTA?

Good, but there is easy way download that rom, and install it for TWRP(select full wipe, include internal storage) - emmaus.pro/MX4_custom_roms/Flyme/4.5.7i_twrp.zip
and there all stock Flyme roms for twrp - emmaus.pro/?dir=MX4_custom_roms/Flyme
Author all rom "nikk3d" russian 4pda users - 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showuser=2196261
And this method works even on newest firmware, let's say 4.5.6i downgraded to 4.2.8i via 4.0.4i? Or is a easy variant of previous method, patched uboot by meizu remains after 4.5.6i upgrade if i understand, no matter if you downgrate to Kitkat?
update for TWRP : http://www.mediafire.com/download/f6a65ccpgrfaopw/TWRPr5.img

I corrected "Select storage" position, corrected some shifts on the main screen

I have an MX4 originally with Ubuntu touch, I tried to flash 4.5.7i from emmaus.pro.
It failed, updater binary error. I checked the recovery log and it says write error, no space left.
Does anybody have any clue?
Thanks,
Note: I already tried a wipe out (even internal storage). No issues with the cyanogenmod roms from emmaus.pro.
Is someone trying to make fom Meizu MX5?

i think, mx4 ubuntu touch version, and standard china version, - internal partitions(storage) name - different, so you gives write an error.

Thanks to all user's who making this for MX4. They are really engineers! I hope they will try for MX5.
Yes, the problem it is not official, and we cant get new update.
Why we don't write a email to Canynogen and tell them that we open the bootloader and put CM. But we want they make CM for MX4 and MX5, with new CM and updates?

my meizu is bricked, ne response please help me
hi someone had tested this app already? is it surely gonna work??
and after i will unlock the bootloader i can instal any rom? like Mokee and CM12.1??
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?

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

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

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.

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
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. (secro row)
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~~~
The full tutorial is here
The unlock tool is here
Thank you for testing&trying!
If you've seen this spoiler and didn't thank Kevin, please go to here and thank him. This motivates him and gives him the recognisement he deserves.
- Robot Hijau 97 Youtube video: here It isn't in English, but may help if you find any problem or get lost during the unlocking. Leave him a like if it helped you.
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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- 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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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,â€YOUR NEW IMEI NO†(make sure you add a space in between AT+ & EGMR)
For Phone 2: “AT+ EGMR=1,10,â€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

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.

Take the Size value : "0x0000000001400000" => hexadecimal to decimal => 20971520 = recovery partition size

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!

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

Check the store page you bought it from. If you bought it from China, then probably it's a M571C. Good luck
HOW TO ROOT YOUR XIAOMI REDMI NOTE 4X MTK aka NIKEL
DISCLAIMER:
There might be more than 1 way to root this phone, this tutorial is based off of the procedure I used to root my phone. For your device's safety do not mix resources (downloads) from other threads with this thread. I first rooted when my phone was on MIUI 8.2 and Android 6.0.1 (It still works on higher versions of the software). Before continuing with the procedure, you are responsible for your phone and what you do to it, this thread worked for me but doesn't necessarily mean it will work for you as well if you don't follow the steps correctly or use different files. Nonetheless, I take no responsibility for what happens to your phone if anything goes wrong.
Requirements:Unlocked Bootloader (Click here for the procedure)
Custom Recovery "TWRP" (Click here to download)
ABD Drivers (Click here to download)
SuperSU (Click here to download)
(Download the latest .zip file called "Recovery Flashable" NOT any APK's)
Procedure:
1) Unlock your Bootloader (skip if already unlocked)
2) Download all the required files
3) Install the ADB Drivers
4) Move the downloaded SuperSU zip file to your phone's SD CARD or internal memory
5) Open the .bat file inside the NIKEL FLASHKIT folder
- Οnce the batch opens select the first option (FLASH ZCX-TWRP 3.0.2-X FOR Redmi Note 4 MTK)
6) Enable USB Debugging
- Enable developer options by clicking couple of times on the MIUI Version (Settings > About Phone)
- After you've enabled the developer options, go to additional settings and find "developer options"
- Enable USB Debugging
7) Connect your phone to your PC
8) Follow the instructions being printed on the NIKEL FLASHKIT batch file you've previously opened
9) After your phone has entered TWRP go to Install and find the .zip of SuperSU
10) Select the file then swipe to install and reboot, DONE!

Well, you need an unlocked bootloader inorder to get root access.
Go apply for permissions if you haven't applied yet!

Flash the custom recovery (*.img) through fastboot command. For RN4 MTK there's limited custom recovery available, but you may consider trying Cofface TWRP or ZCX TWRP. After that you can install SuperSU or Magisk from custom recovery. There are plenty tutorials of flashing custom recovery and rooting device using TWRP in RN4 MTK device, search this forum or Google.

Thanks for your reply, I've searched for video tutorials regarding flashing etc. All the videos I've found are about RN4 and NOT RN4X (which I own), does that make any difference?

Sir.. Thanks a lot, I completed the whole process to install TWRP and root my redmi note 4x (Nikel) Ram 4GB internal 64 GB but I had to press volume down and power to force fastboot to come up then continue your step doubleclick the .bat file inside the NIKEL FLASHKIT folder...
MIUI Global 8.5 Stable 8530 (MBFMIED)
Yes, sometimes it works with the first try, other times you have to manually enter fast boot, and other you may need to reconnect your USB while in the process. It can be tricky at some point but it eventually works out
i tried few times and it is just not working for me. i dunno what n how... i unlocked bootloader from mi site. and nothing i try seems to work for me.

I'm new at this so please bear with me ?
Redmi k30 pro, k30 pro zoom and Poco f2 pro all flash with lmi. The k30 pro zoom is lmipro but uses the same as the other 2 models.
Is there a reason you recommend version 17.1 of Magisk?
The current version is 20.4: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.4/Magisk-v20.4.zip
No reason ?

Hi you mean never delete system or persist, You just have to do the right data format and nothing else, and install Xiaomi EU, I know that you must also wipe the system and vendor advice from the MIUI MIX guys I don't know you get confused so

Right now it is the only version I know of. You can find more info in the xiaomi eu web page.
don't really wanna install some unofficial twrp. Probably gonna wait till the official twrp website hosts the recovery for this device.
Does anyone know when or if teamwin is gonna release an official twrp?

Great work!
I suggest to move this thread to "Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Development".
And maybe use a naming convention and a template for the first post also add sourcecode.

Hello ?,
I'm a noob at this. I just posted this because it took so long to have a thread that I wanted to show that there was some development on the device. There is a better thread in the forum about the same recovery and rom. Is there a way to delete this thread?

Yep. Though on consecutive reboots it just goes back to stock recovery unless I fastboot boot recovery.img again.
I haven't installed lazy flasher etc though.
