Thanks bros. [MENTION=4666118]gerstavros[/MENTION] do you also know what the C version is that [MENTION=4043335]RASTAVIPER[/MENTION] mentioned? I am copying the 5.1.3.0A update.zip (924MB) to my phone now. Flashing a bootloader and recovery always makes me nervous. Also note that my recovery screen is dual language, english and chinese.

My new theory on why this happened is that the update service offered me an International firmware upgrade for my Chinese version, maybe because I changed language to English. That, or I have an outdated bootloader that can't accept changes made by OTA upgrades.

Update:

5.1.3.0A is not working. After copying I press 'retry' in the recovery screen, it says updating and then the phone switches off. When I restart I get the same bootloop and firmware corrupt error.

Update2:

4.2.0.5A does seem to work, it is working now. Should I try to update to 5.1.3.0A after this using the same method again? I'm kinda hesitant...
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Can you take a screenshot of your About phone details (at settings) and post it here?
[Device Reviews and Information] jayvl:
I'm pretty sure it's not a fake, because I sent it to Meizu to repair the screen (it overheated after 4 months, and took them 6 months to send it back :crying:). I didn't try the upgrade before, and they returned the phone with data wiped, they also unrooted (I think--didn't check much before I did update).

Now I can't root anymore because I forgot the Flyme password, and I was so stupid filling in the wrong email address when registering (I blame chrome autofill :p). I sent email to their support asking to un-link my m1 note from that account. I think it is IMEI based.

New Flyme OS 5.6.2.16 test firmware*

[Device Reviews and Information] jayvl:
Fixed my root problem. Any1 get Adaway working? Seems it has a problem writing to my hosts file in /system/etc/hosts.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
I never had problems with rooting or adaway.
[Device Reviews and Information] jayvl:
I am also having trouble installing busybox. It seems I lack permission to remount the system partition as rw, even though I have root. I am guessing this is intended by meizu. I am considering replacing the SU binary by installing superSU. I think this can work because I am still allowed to copy and delete files on /system (though it is clearly marked as RO). Any thoughts? This behavior seems weird.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Busybox and supersu are installed fine in all roms so far.
[Device Reviews and Information] jayvl:
hmm weird.

I had a clean install. Enabled root. Disabled a few system apps (like email, weather, etc) with Titanium backup. Then installed my core apps, including Adaway and the busybox installer. They both don't work and they both require write access to /system, so I though it was some kinda security from meizu. But if others have it working then I suspect it might be because I froze some system apps? or maybe because of a failed root attempt by kingroot.

I can however copy files to /system manually with a root file explorer, I replaced an icons file in /system with a custom version (hangouts icon had a square white background instead of transparent). I'm considering trying installing 5.1.3.0A via recovery again.

On another note, can I connect via adb? It seems my adb installation can not detect the m1, so it probably needs a special adb driver?

In the first photo, total is 29gb.

So, what r u talking about?
[Device Reviews and Information] liovag:
Yes but the file system holds 17.13GB.. Also when i connect the phone via usb to my pc i saw that the total size is only 11,9GB and not 32.

Also i have install to the phone the ES File Explorer to check the storage capacity and i saw that the phone have 11.94 GB Total capacity and not 32..
[Device Reviews and Information] jayvl:
[MENTION=6830300]liovag[/MENTION]

Technically 32GB is 29.8GB (My phone says the total size 29.12, probably doesn't count invisible partitions like baseband). Your phone also says 29.12. The problem is your data partition is only 11.9G, whereas mine is 26.2G according to Windows (or 26.8 according to android).

In your first screenshot, the "system" part is the sum of the sizes of all your other partitions (i.e. non-data partitions). In my phone running lollipop firmware this "system" is about 2.8G, it consists mainly of 3 partitions called /system(1.5G) and /cache(0.1G) and /custom(0.5G). The /custom partition contains the chinese bloatware. The question is. which of those partitions is causing your system to take up so much space, and how did that partition change occur in the first place (it would require root, or probably flashing a new bootloader).

Perhaps you have a 16GB model with a custom partitioning scheme that says the system partition is 17.5G instead of 1.5G. You can see if that space is used with the "df" command in a terminal app. Or use a disk space app like "DiskUsage".

Stuck at checking firmware

Hey! I tried updating my M1 Note from Flyme 4.2.something U Version. AFAIK it has never had an update, but it was rooted. Now i tried updating to the latest Flyme 5.1.4.0 and its now stuck in the recovery at "checking Firmware". Before it would always say "Firmware corrupt" and restarting led into a bootloop. How can i restore it? I backed up my data so i'm good.

Do I have to flash the stock Flyme? How do I get this on the phone?

----- edit:

I tried downloading the first Flyme OS version 4.2.0.1 and copied it to the recovery memory. Fortunately it finally flashed it! I'm now trying to flash v4.5.6.

----- edit #2:

I tried flashing v4.5.6 after that, and now it's again "firmware corrupt", upon restarting i run into a bootloop... depressing. Now even flashing the v4.2.0.1 won't work.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:

[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Then you shouldn't have problems flashing 4.x or 5.x Roms.

Do you wipe data before flashing?

Make a backup for any important data and try again with wipe enabled.
[Device Reviews and Information] fronzinator:
I wiped and then tried installing but there was no difference.

Could you please walk me through the update process, cause this is my first Meizu device. Keep in mind I can only access the stock recovery!

It would mean a lot to me, as i rely on this phone!
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
There is really not much to say.

It's the simplest method and it seems that you do it correctly.

What is the filename of the rom that you try to update and what is the exact size?

I already got the Flyme OS 4.2.0.1A running yesterday (Flyme OS 4.2.0.1 stable (m1 note) - https://forum.meizufans.eu/topic/1005/flyme-os-4-2-0-1-stable-m1-note)

The filesize was 726MB. I remember going into fastboot mode before and typing the command "fastboot -w", which wiped something. After that, I was able to install the OS. When I tried updating this to v4.5.6A stable (https://forum.meizufans.eu/topic/2910/flyme-os-4-5-6-stable-m1-note), which was about 835MB.

Since then I cleared the data multiple times in the recovery. When it finishes, it automatically reboots into a bootloop.

Am I supposed to put the phone in recovery mode, upload the rom and mark both, the update firmware and clear data button?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Where the heck did you find such installation instructions?

I don't know why, but you making things more difficult then they are. The standard upgrade method doesn't include anything about recovery.

Download the 4.5.6A Rom file and move it to the main storage folder of your phone.

Then use the stock file manager and click on the Rom file. You should get the message for the upgrade and also will allow you to choose if you want to wipe the data.

Proceed with reboot and the upgrade.

I don't know, must have picked it up somewhere.

You know I tried doing it the normal way, which led to a bootlooping device.

[Device Reviews and Information] jayvl:
Is it just me, or does bluetooth file transfer not allow sending of some file types? I can send photos to my other android, but can't send epub. I can receive all file types fine.

I believe this is a common restriction with default Android BT apps, but would like to confirm before I get a BT app from play store.

Zips and extension trickery also don't work. So the question remains, is it me or Meizu?

I can only imagine that they have proposed that, because they have made some changes to the system files, for example to remove some Chinese apps.
