Just a reminder. Messing with the IMEI is illegal in most countries in the world and as such all talks about it are banned on this site.

there are 2 accepted ways to fix this.

1. Restore your backed up EFS file. (should have been done before you flashed anything. Android 101)

2. Send it to the OEM for repair as they are the only ones legally able to make that change.

CANT ENABLE ROOT! bought the phone last week at AliExpress and i wanted to install greenify, supersu and others. I have read here how to enable the root access in flymeaccount and then system previlege. I also installed the root checker to verify the root access. But after doing these, it seems the root access is not working on my device. Tried 5 times alread even if I reboot it as well but it didnt work. I have a Flyme 4.5.4A.

Does this have a workournd? thanks in advance.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] slidwels:
you must give all permission to SuperSu on security app.

It gives it checker root problems.

I've flashed flyme 5, downloaded google Installer from app center, installed playstore from there, but every time i try to download any app i get an error.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Drenabrab:
Exit Playstore delete cache and uninstall app. Delete your Google account. Reinstall Google Installer and it will work

Remove your Google account then add it back.

I have lost root by System Privileges. When I check my account it still has system privileges open, however root check says not rooted, and apps that require now do not work.

I messed up and used SuperSU uninstall to remove root.

Is there anyway to fix this?

Guys i'm about buy meizu m2 note but i feel stock clock speed is not enough for my usage, i guess we can overclock it to max 1.7ghz with some kernel tweaking app right ? :confused:
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] goodoane:
This soc is stable at 1.5 but1.7 is to much. Bootloader is locked and no kernel source code availabe. Your answer is not.

brick after unlock bootloader...

My MEIZU M2 NOTES went into brick after unlocking the bootloader ...... I had the Flyme 5 installed , I unlocked the bootloader from the options developer , then I launched into fastboot mode and entering the command " fastboot oem unlock " and after this it will not start in any mode .... me knows that I can throw the phone? please help me

Are you able to enter fastboot?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] rudverto:
Me llego hace 2 dias el Meizu desde Amazon, hoy en la noche estaba descargando los datos del ultimo NFS en el telefono y me quede dormido mientras se descargada, cuando desperte, la mitad superior de la pantalla teniaa como unas rayas transparentes blancas.

Apague el telefono y no lo he vuelto a encender, porque duró toda la noche encendido y con el juego corriendo, desde eso de las 2, 3 am hasta las 9 am que me desperte. (Con la pantalla encendida)

Tengo miedo que se haya dañado la pantalla o algo por el estilo, también supuse que pudo haber sido por dejarlo tantas horas encendidas.

Alguien mas le paso? ¿Es algo grave? ¿Se soluciona solo? AYUDAAAAAAA
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] goodoane:
Good question?.. If you can enter in fastboot you need to flash boot.img from the update.zip with fastboot flash boot boot.img also you need recovery to be flashed the same way fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(we need someone with root to send you a copy of recovery made with dd commands) then you need to flash system.img. I don't know what kind of reset is being done when bootloader is unlocked. Normally only data partition should be formatted but it seems it format boot and recovery partition too. When you connect your phone to PC look on device manager and tell us if phone is detected, and under what type of device. If connection is stable you can recover your phone. If connection is being unstable disconnected at every 5 seconds and reconnect back than... only a service can solve it.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] elexogic:
And [MENTION=6974388]Davide9620[/MENTION], if you can enter fastboot, check if device is really unlocked via "fastboot oem device-info" command. You should be able to enter stock recovery and flash Flyme 4 after flashing stock recovery.

Here is the stock boot and recovery images.

Hello everyone ,

I need an answer via a big problem.

I buy my used Meizu , with box of course but no invoice.

FlyMe account is registered under another name and I can not find my seller , my IMEI and serial number are valid and identical to my box.

After several exchanges with Meizu, they do not want to remove account ... I sent many photos proving the truth.

So my question is there ... can way to recover from password or rooter my phone with a PC?

Thank you for your answers and sorry for my bad english
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] goodoane:
So far no you can't root your phone with PC. What version is your phone?... You can try to downgrade to the first firmware then try all the root method maybe you get lucky.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] IMadeArya:

How long is stayed connected to PC?... If is just 3 to 5 seconds no luck.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Davide9620:
the phone shows no sign of life ... if I connect it to the PC I hear the sound of the device connected and disconnected a few seconds after you start .... not even in fastboot ... I read the tool sp mtk flash tool but when I insert the scatter file , extracted from a zip update gives me error ... in device manager I find the writing Preloader vcom usb port ... someone who can create the file with scatter mtk Android root and tool and upload it here ? Thank you
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] goodoane:
Attached are file that need to be renamed according with the scatter file. I will try to flash first preloader then uboot one at a time. You need to use SP Flash Tools compatible with MT67xx 64Bits. Good luck.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] johnnyflex:

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] goodoane:
It seems that it could be done if you dismantle the phone and remove battery.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A3TmXtOA0IA

If we work together we can make it to work. We need to find the test point to force the preloader flash. For that the back cover need to be take it out unscrewed the two screws from the bottom and then gently prying the plastic cover. We need to search for a reset switch, it may be on the mother board or just unplug the battery and check the test point.

Other method to get connected to PC after dismantle is to do this:

1 Turn off the phone

2 Disassemble the white cover

3 Plug Out the Flat cable of battery

4 Hold Volume DOWN

5 Plug in the USB

6 (preloader popup)

If this is not working(need to try to press all the key)

Then we need to make a bridge under the ground(GND) near USB and a TEST POINT until we have a good connection with the PC then we can flash preloader.

Here is how to dismantle:

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTb8d6-ACWs

2.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgkbsXtlZ8o

Also this can be tried without dismantle with a "magic cable" . This can be done from a regular usb micro usb cable.

Look to the photo.

GearBest :mad::mad

I made an order with GearBest for this phone, after reading good reviews on this site.

They took my order and charged my credit card, however they will now not send me anything until I verify my payment. To verify I have to send a copy of my Passport and CreditCard.

Due to Identity theft, I will not give anyone a copy of my Passport/creditcard, and have told them so, but they will not cancel my order.

They said I should reorder via Western Union payment for my order, then they would cancel my credit card payment.

Gearbest is a scam.

I have told my creditcard provider to chargeback, and am waiting for a reply from GearBest.

My advice Dont order from GearBest:mad::mad
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] aaallleeennn:
A lot of people ordered from Gearbest without any problem, you should use paypal, they wouldn't request any verification and you can always get your money back if anything goes wrong. Send a copy of credit card but leave only 4 last digits visible, and a copy of pass or ID but cover personal ID number and it should be ok.

And you could also order phone from aliexpress, international version.

[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] aaallleeennn:
You should've ordered from aliexpress :( and with paypal so if anything goes wrong you can get your money back

I haven't ordered but friend of mine has and many other people that I know.

I think your card provider can easily cancel that transaction and refund your money if you explain them what happened, in case they can't I would send copy but covering id number and passport number, and showing only 4 digits of credit card so they can match up (i think they can see last 4 digits of your card that you payed from). It's bad that you have to deal with this and 150-160€ is much money. In case you don't get money back by your card provider, and you don't want to send copy of your card then wait some time and they have money back guarantee 45 days, then if they don't send package you should get your money back

[MENTION=547415]goodoane[/MENTION], I don't really understand why devices get brick after unlocking. Could it be relative to preloaders? Because while we flashing Flyme 5, it does not update preloaders. [MENTION=6282601]Cuvillier[/MENTION], said there is some problem with preloader installation, so I removed it.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] goodoane:
In the process of unlocking bootloader, I understand that data partition is being erased but something bad is happen it could be a bad programming(coding). And after I serched a little more I believe the procedure is not ok. In general it said that after unlock bootloader next step is to flash boot and recovery then reboot to recovery and from there to reboot to system. When mine was killed I get confirmation that my bootloader was unlocked but instead to do these steps I just reboot normally and you know what happened.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] elexogic:
Btw if Security app is disabled, system won't boot. (on Flyme 5) Is there any way to get ride of that app?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] Davide9620:
How can I make this "magic cable"? I read some guides but did not really understand how and where to attack them?
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] goodoane:
Start on the micro usb connector(gently cut the plastic and reveal the pins and wire) pin number 4(not used) need to be connected(shorted) to pin number 5. In general this is like a jig key(jtag) and force the phone on preloader download mode. On some phone it works with battery on other without battery. It should eliminate the need of test point shortcut.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] fastpottsy:
That's bad news, I'd rather stay on flyme 4 than have the security app back.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] goodoane:
Nope is being integrated on system framework. Only if you modify framework. Is not that bad if you don't touch the cache cleaner or other cleaner optimize things. I just use this app to control permission and starting program and I have no problems.
[Meizu M2 Note Questions & Answers] zelendel:
Sounds alot like the old USB jogs that were used to force the Samsung Galaxy S1 USB jig that would force the device into download mode. There are a few TUT on how to make them and might even still be able to buy one.
