this mid range device with high end performance, really worth it. Faster than Galaxy S5 or Note 3.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
I received the device during this week.

The body is amazing, one shape, no cuts, with unique finishing.

Regarding the performance it's not having any difficulties in doing anything and it's very smooth.

Installed Play store myself, rooted it through Meizu account and didn't have any force closes or other problems so far.

Battery needs more testing, but it seems to hold very good.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Fantastic battery and performance.
[Device Reviews and Information] le grande magnetto:
seems like a good choice for small amount of money
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Now let's see when Lollipop will be available.

There is nothing else missing from this device.

Rasta. Can you elaborate more re rooting through Meizu account. Cheers
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Sure

It requires only registering at Meizu (I found more easy the nickname process, then through sms) through settings.

After all that, just enter into account, select Open for system privileges and then an automatic restart will take place.

Finally, rooting is activated.

Android 5.0

Hi,

can someone post a normal step-by-step update process to Android 5.0 for this M1 Note. I mean with installing working custom recovery - CWM or TWRP, with pictures of all back ups, wipes, link to the official and stable ZIP file, the installation itself and pictures of the ready procedure. I have searched all over the web and nothing complete...only copied posts of non-working links etc. Thanks

Custom ROM

Why we can't use standart recovery for load custom ROM? But,first of all, we need custom ROM. :)
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
It has been answered like a dozen times on this topic.

The booloader is locked so no custom recovery can be installed.

Recently there have been discovered some ways to install a custom recovery, but it's quite risky to brick your device.

Qucik Comment

After using it for almost a week,

I feel the performance is great.

Despite the hardwares, FlymeOs still not highly customisable, UI not that great.

Camera sometimes captures blurry photo, however when shot taken steadily, photo quality is GREAT!

Can't adjust ringtone volume from volume button key, in fact it adjusts the "media" volume, is this a BUG ?
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
What do you need to customise?

For me,performance wise, has the same feeling with Kitkat.

No settings icon in Status Bar, Long pressing whichever setting icon won't be directed to it's setting page, there's no notification peeping, no notification on lock screen(like stock android), smart bar(nav bar) not that great to use not user friendly enough
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
All the nav bar issues can be covered with the install of Xposed and Gravitybox.

The rest is a matter of Launcher and other applications, which you can also install.

For me, none of the things that you mentioned are so important to consider that I miss them. Tsf launcher is helping with some of them, like the quick access to settings or to a shortcut's settings.

Meizu continues the support of our mobile with the release of beta updates of the FlymeOs 5!!

Grab it from here: http://downloads.meizufans.eu/m1note/firmware/test/5.5.12.9/a/update.zip

Remember it's a beta, so maybe some bugs will be present.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
I have installed the latest beta .18 2 days ago and the feeling is that I have received a totally new phone!

It's totally lagless, the free Ram remains constantly with more then 350-400mb, when with 4.5.7A sometimes it was dropping at 220mb.

All system apps are redesigned, there is new security options and finally battery statistics were added.

Only problems:

- notifications need a lot of tuning through security to make them work correctly

-weather widgets do not update regurarly
[Device Reviews and Information] mlclmtan:

A MeiZu phone with FlymeOS 5 is great, great interface, many improvements compared to Flyme4, it's like a great OS ! Just need to install Google Play Services all manually/

I'd found a great improvement in Battery Life, GO AHEAD! You wont regret :)

[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Make backup first of anything you need to keep regarding sms, call logs and settings. Photos/videos and downloaded data will not be affected.

Then download and put at your main storage this zip: http://downloads.meizufans.eu/m1note/firmware/test/5.5.12.9/a/update.zip

With your stock file manager click on the zip and you will be notified for the update. Select also to clear/wipe data.

System will reboot to update.

Then for Google apps, download and install google installer 1.4.4 lollipop apk.

Done!
[Device Reviews and Information] mlclmtan:
Easy, just download Flyme5 beta from flymeChina Forum, then move it to your phone, and by opening the update.zip flyme file manager, it will ask you whether to install it or not :)

It wont erase your data, but it will clear those app data (you will have to reinstall everything after upgrade)
[Device Reviews and Information] kumar akarsh:
This is surely a new experience for users. Great ui. Try upgrading to flyme 5 guys. You won't regret

[Device Reviews and Information] mlclmtan:
Dont worry, it wont be hard.

Just download the update.zip from MeiZu forum, and place it into your file manager(Stock), then click on it from your phone inside File Manager app, it will ask you to install the update :)

If you are rooted then you lose the OTA updates.

So if your friend's dad doesn't want to update manually, he basically needs to keep the phone unrooted.
[Device Reviews and Information] ArmedandDangerous:
He will definitely not root the phone :P Are the official OTA updates up to Flyme 5.x or something? I'm not too sure how they name their versions. Is it officially Lollipop yet? :)
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
No. FlymeOs 5.x are BETA.

There are 2 ways to proceed from FlymeOs 4.x:

- either flash manually one of the 5.x roms (then all next updates will come through OTA)

- wait till 5.x will become official to receive it as OTA.

2.4 is Lollipop though right? At least that's what Google seems to say :)

Just got this new from the shop, I tried to do OTA upgrade (from Flyme 4.2.0.0 to 4.2.0.5), but it said firmware corrupt. Now I have a new device bootlooping due to an official update?!

I think I can get recovery mode, it is a prompt with two checkboxes, one for upgrade and one for clear data. I tried all combinations but nothing works, keep getting yellow triangle with corrupt firmware message. I can also boot into fastboot mode, but I believe bootloader is locked.

All I did prior to downloading the upgrade was install gaps, enable usb debugging and uninstall two or three chinese apps.

If I can get ADB working with the "recovery mode" I believe I can push a firmware update.zip to the root directory to fix it? Which firmware should I get, and where do I download it? Thanks.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Which rom version did you have when you got it?

If you had A or C and you tried to install I, then this is the reason that you got the firmware corrupt message . I Rom cannot be installed just like this over A/C.
[Device Reviews and Information] jayvl:
Not sure, I'm guessing "I" is international and "C" is chinese, not sure what "A" could mean--EU? But I bought it in Hong Kong, and it had some chinese apps on it including Baidu, so I'm guessing "C". I didn't see any warnings, just went to settings and chose Flyme update about 60MB, pretty weird. So I didn't flash a whole firmware ROM, just did the update option is settings and it asked to reboot.

My theory is installing gaps messed up the system partition (though it wasn't rooted yet), and the update just blindly patched a few bytes.

So think I can access ADB from that recovery mode? I don't really care if it is international version or not (should I care?). It seems safer to just try updating a chinese update.zip. I downloaded 4.2.0.5 full firmware (751MB). Will try ADB tomorrow, but as new firmware might hardbrick it--since the firmware might not match my device ID--I need to first learn more about the types of firmware and what their functioning depends on.

I hope this doesn't wipe my IMEI. I didn't write it down because I trusted the OEM update.
[Device Reviews and Information] RASTAVIPER:
Installing Gapps cannot mess with system partition or brick your phone.

Download one of the 5.x.x Roms that I have included in my previous posts and flash it through recovery.

If this doesn't work, then maybe your device is not an original M1 NOTE.
[Device Reviews and Information] gerstavros:
Fist of all:

A is the main Chinese version.

U is the version of China Unicom provider, is 100% same with A firmware but with the provider's logo.

I is the international version which has different MBR and recovery.

If you bought it in Hong Kong is the chinese version. So, download the latest 5.1.3.0A firmware here (blue button right for download) and follow the next steps.

Boot your device in recovery mode (power+volume up)

Connect it to the computer and u ll see a removable disk with name RECOVERY. Copy there the update.zip you downloaded.

Then with checked the System Upgrade, tap Start.

That's all.

You don't lose your imei. You don't have fake meizu. No need for adb. Install GAPPS with the official Google installer app from Meizu App Center (search that as Google installer)
