You have international firmware installed ?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] alford18:
Hey guys I badly needed your suggestions. Meizu M2 Note here in my country have no stocked now and they said that they will stop selling it (idk why but meizu m2 note here is so good)

Now, I need your suggestions what do you think is a good backup phone (to m2 note) in a midrange budget just like (asus zenfone 2 laser, huawei 4c and 4x, etc). There is no xiaomi here in my country so I want to hear your suggestions thanks!
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Gnaver:
Dunno exactly for which to go but I tell you don't buy honor 4c. It's ugly, ugly photos just don't. Rather wait for 5c if it's gonna be good

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Cuvillier:
Here is update zip modified file https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4kOf-UjywzdQ2xwbjlWX1UwTzA , you have just to add your imei to imei.dat file then sign it with zipsigner in android and flash it via flashfire .
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] lucass55:
dump question , how to add my imei correctly it says permition denied
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Cuvillier:
Open update zip file on PC with winrar, edit imei.dat, and update archive
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] lucass55:
ah yeah with winrar it works, i tried it with 7zip before
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] AShacks:

I need this... So I need to replace the flyme rom IMEI with my own M2 Note IMEI right?

How's the battery life so far?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Cuvillier:
You just have to download my update zip from google drive , add your imei in imei.dat ( on PC with winrar ) , sign it with zipsigner , and flash it with flashfire

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------

I see the battery is more stable than flyme 4 , maybe because of optimization by flyme 5 and flyonmod
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] AShacks:
Thanks. Gonna try that. Any bugs so far?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] googlemd:
How did you flash the zip file? After instructions you wrote, flashfire shows error "machine not match". So I have some questions: what tipe of sign to choose in zipsigner app? And what options to choose in flashfire, because there are some choices. Can you give more explicit instructions? Thanks.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Cuvillier:
For me , i don't have bug actually but there must have an ota update in " System upgrade " app but he tell me " Your version is the most recent " . Maybe because of not flashing file " preloader_no.img", when i try flashing , i get error " failed to flash"
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] mrgondrong:
Did you try flashing back to flyme 4? Are your m2note is an A version or an I version?

Can you post about page in settings menu?

I just curious because i'm not that great about flashing things. Or maybe you can post tutorial so all people here can do it :)
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Cuvillier:
In imei.dat , imeis are ranked from smallest to largest , so put your original imei

between 2 imei , depending on your imei

In zipsigner , choose none keys

In flashfire , select flash zip or ota , select file , choose " wipe " and select only " wipe dalvik cache " and " wipe cache " and press flash . That's it

---------- Post added at 10:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

I have " A " firmware , reverting back ( i'm not tested) but when i have flashed flyme 5 beta , i did not clear my data . For flashing this , you need first to add your original imei in imei.dat and view tutorial fews posts back
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] elexogic:
Congratz mate! Did you try removing imei check from updater-script and flashing? Because it would works for everyone.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] mrgondrong:
The version requirements is what i afraid most. Because i have " I " version of the phone. I'm afraid if i flash the zip my phone will bricked.

Maybe i'll just wait for flyme 5 beta for " I " version of the phone.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Cuvillier:
No but maybe you can try ;)
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] elexogic:
Well I tried and failed again. What exactly you changed in update zip? I downloading the zip you gave but its kinda slow.

It fails while extracting img files.

Edit: I managed to boot, now its optimizing apps. What I did is remove imei and preloader checks. I don't know what preloader does but anyway it working. :D I can upload the zip so everyone can flash.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] lukino993:

Did you used flashfire or recovery?

can you share it? did you flash it without "wipe data and cache" ?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] elexogic:
I am trying to upload it but my connection is slow so you have to wait about 2h.

I flashed it with FlashFire, thanks to Cuvillier :D And I didn't wipe anything, all my apps are remained.

In the flyme account, go into the top option which shows your phone number or unregistered number. Then there is an option called System Privileges

I am not sure about the other but if you do its easy to reinstall.

I don't have the link. And I don't know how to flash preloader also there is some if statements in updater-script so it does not install preloader everytime.

Hello! Can anyone share flymetool English version for flyme5 beta?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Rinto791:
Hello from 4pda, m8s

Could anyone check the OEM Unlock on Flyme 5 please?

Does it really work as it should? If does, it's the best thing that Meizu could do for the customers!
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] elexogic:
What about this "OEM unlocking" option, can we unlock the bootloader? Did anyone tried?

Edit: Ops, I didn't see previous post.

Second edit: I reboot to bootloader and type "fastboot oem unlock" then got this message:

"No (Volume Down): Do not unlock bootloader"

Yes (Volume Up): Unlock (may void warranty)

Press the Volume UP/DOWN buttons to select Yes or No.

Will also delete all personal data from your phone (a "factory data reset").

...(Other explanations)

Unlock bootloader?"

Should I go for it?

3rd edit: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4251485344 I found this topic, i guess he unlocked the bootloader.

I installed flyme 5 on A version without any problem, I just downloaded the modified zip and flashed it with flashfire without any wipe and everything went correct.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Rinto791:
So what do you think. Is it real OEM Unlock option or just fake from Meizu?

Will we have a chance to change Flyme to Cyan or any other ROM?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] donalberto17:
It is real, in fact there is a tutorial to unlock bootloader and install twrp on m2 note with 4.5.4.2 firmware so I think meizu just made things easier for us.
