[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
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

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.

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

[GUIDE][UPDATED 12/22][TESTED]Fix for VoLTE not working in VoLTE enabled Roms

Ok Guys, enough posts about VoLTE not working in supported Roms too. Some users are constantly flooding threads with VoLTE issues so here is a proper guide to get it working.
UPDATE - 12/23
Note : The old guide failed to work for me when I flashed MIUI and tried to follow the same steps but the guide below worked every single time.
1 - Flash MIUI Global Beta 6.11.3 Fastboot using MiFlash - Link
2 - Setup your phone and make sure you get VoLTE icon. If not, try to reset apn and then reboot and reset apn again.
3- Once you get VoLTE in MIUI, unlock bootloader using MiFlashUnlock.
4 - Flash ZCX Recovery. Don't use any other recovery.
5 - Go to backup and backup your efs partition as well as firmware(rom) partition.
6 - Wipe dalvik, cache, data, system.
7 - Flash any VoLTE enabled rom and gapps. Don't restore anything yet.
8 - Boot your rom and complete setup.
9 - Go to recovery and restore previous backup.
10 - Boot and Voila.
The old Guide:
Note: - Follow the steps exactly as mentioned.
1 - Download the latest fastboot flashable Global Beta MIUI Rom. I used 6.12.8.
2 - Flash the downloaded fastboot Rom using MiFlash.
3 - Let the phone boot and perform setup till you get to the point where it asks for your MI account credentials. (Make sure you see VoLTE in the status bar during setup).
4 - Unlock the bootloader using MiFlashUnlock.
5 - Flash ZCX Recovery. *IMPORTANT*
[Optional Steps] This might be just a placebo but it worked anyhow for me so you can try it.
5.1 - Flash latest Xiaomi EU rom (Beta).
5.2 - Boot your phone and complete the setup.
6 - Backup your EFS using ZCX Recovery.
7 - Wipe Dalvik, System, Data and Cache.
8 - Flash any VoLTE supported Rom and Gapps. I used Resurrection Remix 5.8.0 and OpenGapps Mini. (Do not flash cm14 firmware zip or any other zip like custom kernel or SuperSU yet.)
9 - Let the Rom boot and complete setup.
10 - *VERY IMPORTANT* Just keep your 4g sim inside the phone and that too in 1st Sim slot only. I had Jio 4g and Idea so I removed Idea sim and put Jio 4g in 1st slot. (While removing and inserting sim, you should keep your phone in airplane mode).
11 - Check if you have VoLTE now. If not, then don't worry, proceed to next step.
12 - Reboot to recovery and flash the cm14 firmware. Do not restore the EFS yet.
13 - Reboot to system and check if VoLTE works now. If not, proceed to next step.
14 - Reboot to recovery and restore your EFS backup.
15 - Reboot to system and check if VoLTE works now. It should definitely work now.
16 - Enjoy. Now you can put your 2nd sim back and flash kernels and supersu and what not.

[COMPLETE GUIDE] ROOTING Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X MTK aka Nikel

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

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.

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.

Could you give a more detailed explanation? Such as telling if you receive any errors , if the prerequisites installed correctly etc.?

Does it still work in the latest version of MIUI 9.5.1.0? I have successfully installed TWRP but the .zip file might be outdated.

[GUIDE] How to install official Global Rom V9.6.8.0.OEDMIFD on Antirollback device

NOTES:
- This will fix the modem on the global rom, you will be able to call and use the internet.
- I know MIUI 10.0.1.0.OEDMIFH has been released. If you have no problem with MIUI 10 AND with Antirollback, just use the fastboot version and flash that.
- If you want MIUI 10.0.1.0.OEDMIFH firmwareless go to @yshalsager thread and flash that instead of my MIUI 9 fw-less rom (installation process is the same)
- This thread is useful for people who want Global Stable MIUI 9 on Mi Max 3 with a working modem.
- If you installed MIUI 9.6.6.0.OEDMIFD fw-less from here before, just download the MIUI 9.6.8.0.OEDMIFD / 10.0.1.0.OEDMIFH FW-LESS and flash that above your rom using TWRP.
- if you install this rom on a non-Antirollback device, make sure not to update to MIUI 10 from updater or you will get Antirollback.
- if you have antirollback and you want this rom, follow the guide below and dont update to MIUI 10 if you prefer MIUI 9.
- V9.6.8.0.OEDMIFD has Antirollback, So people who want to have less problems with their rom, you can flash the full rom with the firmware-update folder instead of the fw-less one as you already have
antirollback, and you will get the correct firmware for your phone
- Read more about Antirollback here: here
Installation guide:
NOTE: By flashing this you agree that Im not responsible for any bricking situation that might happen because of this process!
YOU MUST HAVE UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
1. Go to twrp on your device and wipe everything! (system,vendor,internal .....)
2. Change your data partition to F2FS
3. Reboot to twrp and format userdata
4. Flash China Stable 9.6.12.0 via Fastboot (or 9.6.11.0 if you dont have Antirollback because 9.6.12.0 has antirollback)
5. Flash twrp and reboot to it
6. in TWRP wipe everything (system,vendor,internal .....)
7. Change your data partition to F2FS
8. Reboot to twrp and format userdata
9. Change the data partition back to EXT4
10. Reboot one last time to TWRP and copy the fw-less rom to your internal storage
11. flash the fw-less rom / (full rom 9.6.8.0 if you already have antirollback and you want MIUI 9)
12. wipe cache/ dalvik
13. mount cust partition in twrp, go to the file explorer and go to the cust folder from the root of the device
15. delete everything in that folder
17. delete the rom from your internal storage using MTP
16. boot to fastboot mode and flash the cust.img using "fastboot flash cust cust.img"
17. delete all the files on your internal storage using MTP
18. reboot, it will say reset phone, click on it, wait until the device boots and enjoy!

If you are not on an antirollback device (Currently on china 9.6.11.0) How would I go about flashing?

same as the antirollback device.
Flashing the normal rom will cause problems and might not work without the cust fix.
If you dont flash the fw-less rom, the rom will update the firmware (firmware-update folder) to its own version which will brick your modem again.

Ok, so I followed this exactly with the exception of the step 17, There were no files on on internal storage showing up in MTP at all?
Also on step 4 I flashed the China rom successfully but when finished I did not restart the phone and let it boot up and go thru the initial setup of the rom, I just flashed the China rom and proceeded to the next step.
But it certainly gives me the 9.6.6.0 global rom, however the radio is now broken again, I cant get out to the internet. This really makes no sense? On the China rom the radio certainly works fine.
Any ideas? What a frustrating phone this has been, I'm sort of mad at the vendors putting these fake roms on here with non working modems....
There's go to be a way to flash just the modem firmware from the China rom?

I have none of the stated issues.
Follow the guide again from step 1 and this time setup the phone on 9.6.11.0 (dont let it update to 9.6.12.0)
Make sure that on fastboot you choose clean all and not save my data

Ok so once 9.6.11.0 flashes, let the phone boot up and go through all the initial setup, then reboot in TWRP and continue. I will do that...
Yes, on fast boot I am choosing "Clean All"
How about step 17? I don't seem to see what i'm supposed to be doing there?

after you flash the rom, you need to mount the cust partition.
after that you need to use the file manager in twrp to delete everything in the cust partition and then copy all the files from the cust fix zip to the cust folder on your phone using the twrp file explorer. on 17 I meant that you delete the files on your Internal storage that you used to copy to the cust folder so you wont have any files left before running the system for the first time

I certainly mounted the Cust partition and copy everything copied over, I actually copied the Cust Fix files from an sd card to internal so there was nothing to clean up in my case.
Ok, I am crossing my fingers here

So while I was restoring my data from google I was certainly getting text messages. A phone call worked too. However after all my data finished restoring from my google account and I rebooted I now have no cell signal again.
I couldn't imagine something that gets restored would mess up the cellular connection, but I am going to have to wipe and start over and not restore anything from my account to see if that helps at all...
Ugh....

basic rule number 1, always start clean without any restores if you want 0 bugs/problems

Copy that, I will report back with the clean start...

Negative... Still no service....
Maybe I just have a flaky phone? Tho i do have service fine with the China rom.
I guess i'll just have to wait until there is a flashable global rom complete with modem and stuff.

Thank for the big effort. I made it following this guide.
But I think this is MIUI 9 but I like MIUI 10 much more.
So I revert back to EU 8.9.6 and I satisfy with this.

Official global rom version is 9.6.7.0
I got an information from Korean xiaomi community that the official global rom version is 9.6.7.0 but not 9.6.6.0.
He bought it from the aliexpress and seller shipped it with sealed package. And it put "Global Versiso" sticker on the box.
Here I attach the ROM version image.
We better wait until official site put mi max 3 global rom there.

Thats a real global rom.
Its not uploaded to xiaomi's database yet so its unavailable for download
just like 9.6.8.0 which is also real but not released yet.

I don't understand why Xiaomi doesn't support OTA on the mi max3 with former glabal rom. Really shame.

So let's say i managed to flash on my non anti-rolled back mi max 3 with your steps, in future updates can i just update normally OTA?
