I have a spare board, I will need to downgrade this to KK and DD the uboot.img, then ill test with MTK tools mate.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

I also managed to get this recovery working fine on Lollipop! but not the uboot.img

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

I have now successfully patched the uboot img of Lollipop and successfully flashed.

This has allowed flashing a custom recovery using "fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img"

What it has not allowed is

preloader mode

and extended fastboot options like "fastboot getvar all"

So this does not completely "unlock" the bootloader... but wondering if a Ubuntu user DD'ed there uboot.img if this would result in a brick when flashed.

I am interested in this, I have a spare board to take the risk!

My experience with MTK tools is limited, however with my past experience the phone is in preloader mode when completely powered off, I am unsure if this is the case with the ubuntu edition mx4 and doubt we can replicate that.
[Meizu MX] Mr.Brown94:
Fantastic News ,

i'm so happy for mx4 users.

I have a question: Do you think it will be ever possible to unlock even Mx4 Pro bootloader ? Does Mx4 pro have a Flyme kit kat version?

i'm gonna buy a Mx4 pro so i'm interested in possibility of future develope.

Thank you
[Meizu MX] supercowz:
Why not read?

Only mx4 and m1 now....

[Meizu MX] Mr.Brown94:
Did you read the whole sentence?

I ask if will be possible (IN THE FUTURE) not now...

Why people love flaming so much... :rolleyes:
[Meizu MX] iicc:
I think you cant now, but there is a fully functional temporal recovery for mx4 pro.

There is Omnirom and mokee/cm12.1 for mx4 pro

after launch unlock.sh script and reboot my phone bricked and i cant unbrick using update system option in stock recovery, can u help me ?
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
i said...

did you doing right all the steps?
[Meizu MX] KubaMagnum:
I have some questions, can you help me?

How to check / make sure that the bootloader has been unlocked ?

Where can I enter fastboot flash recovery command?

-I have launched unlock.sh script and my phone is after reboot and now I want to install custom recovery from your pack

Thanks, from top and sorry for my weak English.
[Meizu MX] Maagnum154:
I'm noob :) I have skipped step 1, I have unbricked my phone. Can you reply KubaMagnum questions? It's my account
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
1. script loaded and all is fine and loaded - that's your checking

2. fastboot commands should be used in adb. Search drivers or ask some to give you. Also learn some guides how to use adb (android debug bridge)

3. recovery can be installed after p.2. Search and learn some guides

So now unlocking bl is useless because we have no custom roms for this. If you have a chinese phone (firmware index A from box) and you want to flash index I (international) firmwares, you have to install patched stock recovery and flash I zip. (read ALL notes in instruction). But as alternative you can flash chinese firmware and after using android terminal setup the system part from international firmware (index I) (topical for Lollipop flyme 4.5 firmwares with deleted languages). Maybe later i will post some guide how to do that. Now i recommend to use your phone without using these instructions. It will be important after some custom firmwares
[Meizu MX] Maagnum154:
Thanks you, but can you give me link to the good adb drivers? I have installed and adb commands not working in cmd

USB debugging enabled

Windows 8.1 pro 64bit
[Meizu MX] Sieane:
Everything worked well, thank you very much ! Waiting for custom rom now :)
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
you're welcome
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
drivers are integrated into flyme firmwares

try to do next:

before the start delete your current drivers, then

connect your mx4 to PC as CD-ROM and copy from needed drivers, install them

add to your "adb_usb.ini" next: "0x2a45" Further reboot your PC

(standard way is c:\users\%username%\.android\)

(if you haven't "adb_usb.ini", then create it)

good luck :)
[Meizu MX] KubaMagnum:
Thanks again :)

someone knows when can we get some rom?how much more or less porting takes? we have probably few people get behind it took.
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
really dunno, just wait ;)
[Meizu MX] Maagnum154:
Hmm. But if necessary

It is possible to lock the bootloader?
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
it will lock after flashing stock firmware (NOT from custom recovery, care!)
[Meizu MX] Maagnum154:
But I can flash stock firmware from patched recovery from your pack? Yes?
[Meizu MX] iicc:
Could be possible to flash custom recovery with "dd"? Instead of flashing througt Fastboot.

I think that it would be easier for other people

---------- Post added at 01:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 AM ----------

Do you have a normal MX4 or an Ubuntu MX4?

So you get patched uboot and Philz working on lollipop??
[Meizu MX] FrAsErTaG:
Yes normal international mx4.

I successfully dd the recovery before testing the uboot which worked on lollipop
[Meizu MX] iicc:
So you flashed the Philz in lollipop with locked bootloader, the same as we could do with the CWM, no?

So then, if worked in lollipop, maybe we can unlock bootloader of MX5 and Meizu M2 Note

edit: I get error when patching uboot mx5 :crying:
[Meizu MX] FrAsErTaG:
Yes dd the recovery on locked boot loader... Tested working

Then did the uboot patch on lollipop, then did flash custom recovery now fastboot to test.

As I said though, not really unlocked boot loader... Can't do some functions... But can flash custom recovery (not much difference between dd or uboot for custom recovery, flashify or dd recovery is safer)
[Meizu MX] g070140:
I have a question. I've already unlock the Boot loader of the Chinese version. If I flash stock firmware like 4.2.8.2A or 4.5.5A, is the Boot loader gonna be locked again?
[Meizu MX] iicc:
Compiled Omnirom based Android 5.1.1

I will uploaded it later to see if it boots..
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
yes, it will lock again
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
very nice, then create a thread in ROM development, like Cyanogen 12 for ubuntu. Check it :)

I dont own a MX4 so I cant test it :(

I dont know how stable it is, think that is my first rom and the first mx4 rom xD

If we can see the bootanimation I would be satisfied :p

If this goes well I will post in other thread, this is only a test
[Meizu MX] Amamiya·Nagisa:
Can I use the "PATCHED STOCK recovery" to flash the "Android 5.0 firmwares"?
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
yes, but bootloader will lock again after you load to android (firmware 4.5.5I for example).

so be carefully with OTA, this can brick your device

also if you want to unlock boot again you need to flash 4.2.8.2 again. I haven't patcher for lollipop-based firmwares
[Meizu MX] iicc:
I have ported CM12.1 from Ubuntu to MX4.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1WZs_VfDdzYT08wanl1eG9OVTQ/view?usp=sharing

Can anybody test it to see if works?

Unlock your bootloader before flashing it!

[Meizu MX] Sieane:
Ok I restored my backup and everything goes well

I think you should add this step to the tutorial
[Meizu MX] richish:
Did u make factory reset before flashing CM 12.1?

I renember that i have to do it with Lg L7 II with TWRP, just make factory reset and then flash ROM.

Error will dissapear.
[Meizu MX] Sieane:
Ah ? No I didn't. I try ;)

EDIT: Ok so ... no more errors but bootloop on "Meizu" screen.

Factory reset again and tried to install Omni rom, weird result.. the phone is stuck on "Meizu" screen with backlight at maximum and the home button reacts when I touch it. I'll let it 15-20 minutes to see what happens.
[Meizu MX] boris2005:
I would like to ask, If I had an International MX4, i still need to unlock the bootloader?

It seems i read form other post international version is bootloader unlocked.

On the other hand, how can i check is my bootloader is locked or not?

Thanks!
[Meizu MX] richish:
BL is locked on both devices international and chinese ( exacept ubuntu edition MX4 )

if u dint try to unlock it then its locked, How to check ? IDK !

---------- Post added at 10:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

If its stuck on Black Meizu logo and home button reacts on touch then its bootloop. i hade that on Flayme Logo when plying around with build.prob

I think the new ROM ( CM12.1 / Omni ) not passing some securty.
[Meizu MX] Sieane:
Okey so bootloop on both roms. If anyone wants to try something, ask me
[Meizu MX] FrAsErTaG:
Personally I have not had time to try, nor time to try building myself...

I have managed to patch the lollipop uboot, it flashed successfully and confirmed that via flashing the custom recovery from fastboot.

I assume you followed the OP and using Kitkat rom, if you are trying to boot 5.1.1 using 4.4 baseband this

might

be the issue for the bootloops... I will test when I get a chance.
[Meizu MX] Sieane:
Yes I'm using a Kitkat rom, so maybe we should try CM11 instead of 12 ?

Let us know ;)
[Meizu MX] Naphtha:
It is much easier to flash ubuntu touch from sp tool ? we need only an file an "auth" file. After flashed we have the device unlocked...

Be careful with m1 note last beta (today´s 4..5.6A) because Russians says that it is possible that Meizu has changed the bootloader if i understood well in 4pda.ru forum
[Meizu MX] Sieane:
I fixed the crashes by resetting apn list to the default, so calls/sms are ok now, but sometimes the device lost wifi/gsm signal without reason.

And can you help me, how to install?

[Meizu MX] Sieane:
Antutu: 37161.

Ok so for the tutorial you just have to follow the first post, flash philz touch recovery, in philz touch you backup, factory reset, format /system, install zip cm 12.1 wipe cache and tadam.

The home button works of course but not the back gest (it's a flyme functionality) you have the soft keys for that.

Yes there's some problems, no vibrations, sometimes the device lost wifi/gsm during 1-2 seconds without reasons. bluetooth headseats don't work for me. It's definitely not an everyday rom for the time. I suggest you to wait a little, without updating flyme OS ! the time for the developper to update his rom,
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
did you tried some minimal gapps? root supporting?
[Meizu MX] Sieane:
I flashed gapps, everything is ok, root is native, juste had to tick a thing in developper settings.

I will do a tutorial, if it's really necessary but I promise nothing, i'm french and my english is really broken. I'm scared of writing something wrong and broke your device
[Meizu MX] Maagnum154:
how to root ?
[Meizu MX] Sieane:
You unlock the developper settings (multiple tap on build number in "phone informations") and you choose "apps and ADB" in "root access".
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:
it's nothing, i'm from russia and i wrote this guide for unlocking w/o any problems :)

..just maybe some grammar
[Meizu MX] richish:
37 K Not so bad . we had 35k score on flyme 4.5.5 I untill official realise.

As flyme vs cm i think CM is 3x faster.

Cant wait when will get my MX4 back from service.

( Had problems with screen, maybe dead pixels, service said that, i think its was just dust under touchsceen )

About tuto: i think its need to be updated with full info of procedure.

what ? in 4.5.5I/A i have 50k score, all cpu's in this update works fine
[Meizu MX] slowsunset:

Bootloop. Help Please. :(

This is great and really helpful. It totally works on my M1 Note. But accidentally after reflashing stock rom from patched m1 note recovery, I have flashed it with unpatched uboot which relocked the bootloader and then I flashed the custom recovery. So sad, I am now on a bootloop and my M1 Note is bricked. I'm doing so many ways to push the unlocked uboot or recovery to make the device boot. But the device is unrooted. I can't mount from the root to read and write so that I can flash the uboot or recovery. Is there any way you could suggest to me which can root m1 note via adb and then flash the recovery or uboot. SP Flash Tool didn't work as well, it says The Base-band Chip is secure! Please select the authentication file first. As well as in fastboot, it says security denied because it is locked. Please help me restore uboot and recovery. :(

Bootloader need to unlock only one time,its will not be locked again.

But if u will use nonpached recovery or nonedited rom u will get bootloop on meizu screen,with no recovery at all and thats mean brick.

After unlocking bootloader to use flyme rom u need to delete files from .zip und use pached stock recovery.
