It's basically this guide, but instead of 4.1.1A I took 4.0.4i firmware (I have international version). After OTA I have 4.2.8.2i at the moment.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jbseal:
And where did you get your recovery img and update because i only found recovery and update for A version here on XDA.

Look at this thread. Post no. 33 with download link, chinese ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jbseal:
Going to see if that one works for me, tks:good:

Edit: Finally flyme international working, just flashed the recovery in fastboot and then flashed zip of the update in cofface (cwm) recovery (just had to look for some pictures of cwm in google because of chinese :) )

Now lets hope we can see lollipop for our Ubuntu Edition.

Tks mate.

Good news for MX4 Ubuntu owners!

xen0n is porting CM12.1 to this device.

You can see the progress here: https://github.com/xen0n/android_device_meizu_arale

https://github.com/xen0n/local_manifests_arale

To install on standard MX4 we would need to repartition the phone, system of MX4 Ubuntu is too big. I dont know if this would be possible
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jbseal:
At least it's one step forward, tks for the info.:good:

Guys, I tried to put update.zip from PC to Android to upgrade to 4.5.5i as described in the installation. So I just copied the file to the MTB attached phone folder and clicked on file. After reboot I've got "firmware corrupted", so I'm trying to get back old version, however I think it still has update.zip on a drive. How can I check what is there. Because when I'm in recovery I can see an empty recovery partition.

p.s. Should I flash a system.img? I have an international M461 Ubuntu Edition
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jbseal:
When you get MSG firmware corrupted the installation wasn't made you just need to unchek the 2 options on flyme recovery and restart the phone and you are back in previous version, every time you start update the zip file its erased that's why you get an empty recovery folder.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] botema:
I downgraded to 4.0.4I but have got a bootloop, stupid me :(

p.s. Now I desperetly trying to recover at any version, which will not stuck in a bootloop. 4.0.4i was updated to 4.2.8.2i OTA and then I downgraded to 4.0.4i manually. And then the "fun" began. Could be that I broke something? I was re-flashing recovery.img few time.

---------- Post added at 03:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

How could I check if my bootloader is locked/unlocked? I don't think that somehow my Ubuntu edition M461(international) phone got locked, but it's just strange to see bootloop after my very first success with installing 4.0.4A after Ubuntu Touch and after successful update to 4.0.4i(manually) and then to 4.2.8.2i via OTA. Very strange and sad :(
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jbseal:
I have that version to (461) originally Ubuntu touch and the only International version that works for me its 4.0.4i when I try to upgrade via OTA it doesn't work I get msg firmware corrupted, I think it's a problem related to Ubuntu touch being the original OS, version A of flyme its to bugy for me so I decided to stay in 4.0.4 I until a better solution comes up.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] botema:
Yes, seems that 4.0.4 is a stable start-point for those who has the international Ubuntu version M461. However I managed only to jump from 4.0.4A to 4.0.4i. If I install 4.0.4i directly - bootloop is guaranteed !

My conclusion: do not update MX4 M461 Ubuntu edition with the new version MANUALLY. Only over OTA. But here's a trick how to get to any of Flyme version directly from Ubuntu Touch. And here I see this chain: Ubuntu Touch-> flasboot -w(clean up) -> flashboot flash recover recovery.img (from here pan.baidu.com/s/1gdB2HVl - there is a adb.zip, where inside is 16mb large recovery.img) -> put update.zip of 4.0.4A -> update -> boot to recovery again -> put update.zip of 4.0.4i -> update -> go to Update App and upgrade to 4.2.8.2i via OTA
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tommi_R:
I have Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition which I reflashed to Flyme OS 4.0.4I then it gave me the change to update via OTA to Flyme OS 4.2.8.2I. Everything worked well but I decided to try this update Flyme OS 4.5.5I from here flyme dot cn / en / etc (unfortunately I cannot post links because I haven't posted enough stuff on xda yet). Unfortunately it didn't update it, it said firmware corrupt (tough md5 and sha1 hashes were okay) and then doesn't start anymore, the flyme OS logo turns around and around forever.

How could I restore my phone now in working order? Any suggestions?

h t t p : / / w w w . f l y m e . cn / en / firmwarelist ?m o de lId=14&type=1 (take the spaces away..) and from there you can see two latest official mx4 firmwares
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jbseal:
I didn't went that road, previously I was on 4.2.8 A and I just flash cofface cwmr for mx4 by fast boot then reebooted put the 4.0.4 I in main memory of the phone, then reebooted in cwmr made a wipe data factory reset and install zip 4.0.4 I that i previously put in phone memory, maybe that's why I can't upgrade to 4.2.8 I.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] botema:
Check my reply before your post. The sequence should be as same as you did first time after Ubuntu Touch. Could be that "fastboot -w" (clean up user and cash partition) will help you. However I spent hours trying to recover my phone and finally I did. I was even trying to flash ubuntu back. Maybe these actions helped me. I'm not sure. I know that as soon as you are not formatting other phone's partitions your phone is not yet a brick. Good luck!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tommi_R:
Hmm..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41374686&postcount=4

I think now that I can fix my phone with these instructions using fastboot commands, I try to report later how all went.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] artlov:
I had success without additional 4.0.4A step and flashed 4.0.4i directly. No bootloop.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tommi_R:
That is also what I did with my MX4 Ubuntu Edition.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tommi_R:
I was able to get my phone in working order. However erasing the phone using the instructions I got from here and after that trying to flashing directly 4.0.4i version did not give working phone, flashing 4.0.4A version did work. I flashed 4.0.4A and then OTA update to 4.2.8.2A and from there 4.5.5A again gave me soft bricked phone so I erase everyhing again in fastboot and flashed 4.0.4A into it in recovery and after that right away flashed 4.0.4i version in recovery after reboot and now it seems that I am in the state where I can get 4.2.8.2I OTA update.

It seems now that it is impossible to get Flyme OS 4.5.5 to the phone..? At least the OTA update from 4.2.8.2A -> 4.5.5A gave firmware corrupt message and soft bricked the phone. So be careful not to do OTA update if you are on 4.2.8.2A to Flyme OS 4.5.5A. I wonder now is this the case with OTA from Flyme OS 4.2.8.2I to 4.5.5I versio also, which would mean no later updates for this phone :/ Also one thing what I tried was to update/flash the ROM using fastboot and that gave me following error message no matter which update.zip package I used.

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'

archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'

error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt

Now I have working phone with Flyme OS 4.2.8.2I ROM again, but if you plan to get or try OTA update, be prepared to use some time fixing your phone afterwards, it might not work but if it works or doesn't when they release the OTA, please give a comment here.

This is the folder of the developer: http://people.canonical.com/~alextu/tangxi/

Go in "recovery" folder and download recovery.img :)

Command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] botema:
Well, thank you, but this is exactly what is specified in askubuntu guide, which you can find by link I provided earlier. My case was that after flashbooting this image I still had a Flyme Recoveryboot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tommi_R:
Maybe this is not the case, but could it be that when flashing non international firmwares the fastboot gets locked? Though I am far from phone professional, but just guessing. I don't understand either why the recovery would not change if you flash it via fastboot? Does it give any error messages?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] botema:
flashing recovery was successful. anyway, I don't care about ubuntu touch atm, so I have no interest in flashing ubuntu back, while I'm satisfied with FlyMe. It was just a desperate try to switch back at least to ubuntu back, when I f*cked up with flame 4.5.5i update. However, I'm back to 4.2.8.2i and I'm happy again :victory:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tommi_R:
Is there a safe way to completely repartition the phone so that it is completely Meizu MX4 flyme international edition? I don't think that I want to go back to Ubuntu phone at all. I was curious, but noticing that doing some basic things with Ubuntu requires command line tools inside the phone -> my interest basicaly vanished completely eventhough I myself use linux on my own computer on a daily basis.

I didn't understand that why importing contacts was only possible via google account, (I don't want to use google accounts), and even importing contacts from vcs file was not possible or possible via terminal, also calendar sync with owncloud was not possible via tweaks (terminal) calendar is married with google and importing *.ics feed was not possible either. Ubuntu phone unfortunately was just absolutely too far from being usable. I mean if these things are missing from today's phone, it is like when you buy a office calculator and the is no % function in it. I am just saying these and hoping or giving some incentive for canonical to make the software better. Hopefully the software could be good in the future. Who knows.. at least the phone itself gives quite good basis for them to develop the software since it is quite powerfull.

So... I guess I would need SP tools and something like scatter file to do repartition to the phone? I don't want to brick this phone at all, I like it, but I would just repartition it so that it would be completely flyme international version and I would not have to be stressed about next update, will it put it to bootloop etc and erase everything from it because of this (which is time consuming).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dpcservices:
Hi Botema,

Thx for the thelp

Here is my working solution :

-> entered flashboot on phone (poweron+vol.down button)

-> connected to pc, did --> flashboot -w

-> copied recovery image --> flashboot flash recover recovery.img

-> restarted the phone in recovery mode (poweron+vol.up button)

-> in windows you can copy the firmware tot the recovery partition, then on the phone click start

-> installed the 4.0.2i firmware

-> after installation i restarted the phone and went in recovery and I put the 4.0.4i firmware on it

-> after installation I went to go to Update App and upgrade to 4.2.8.2i via OTA

The firmware I downloaded through meizumobiles.fr (menu Flyme - Mise a jour)

On how fastboot works and the location of the used recovery.img can be found in this post.

Any other way to get either of them?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Naphtha:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deddo86:
Tried power first/vol down first/at the same time/change usb port, still nothing. The sound connect and disconnect still there (from pc).

And the CMD still shows waiting for device. The device manager keep refreshing when it connect and disconnect sounds.

Maybe can give me step by step first? Like give me the link for MX4 Ubuntu Edition usb driver, how to install the driver.

Maybe the driver installed messed up and can't recognize the phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tommi_R:
You should press power + vol down buttons until the phone vibrates a bit and then release the buttons. If that does not work, you probably have broken your phone for good.

If you keep pressing those buttons forever, the phone goes on and off forever.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] deddo86:
No vibrate at all, silent as dead. Luckily I used this method (http://xdaforums.com/meizu-mx/general/meizu-mx4-how-to-flash-ubuntu-touch-t3210039) and all's good now. But without going to recovery mode (vol up + power) because can't go into that mode.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] peteypeter:
Thanks Naphtha, I do not plan to flash it. I was expecting to know which is the ultimate one I should not mess around with, the fastboot. On the MX4 Ubuntu version we can fastboot flash easily until we keep it intact. Looks like the rest is risky too, so I do not plan to touch anything else than boot, userdata, system and recovery (had trouble going back from Flyme to Ubuntu wihtout formating those ones).

Now I can have some fun hacking. My goal is to follow the path of XenOn with his Cyanogen, too much disappointment with either Ubuntu or Flyme.
