hello.

One way would be to install TWRP and root it from there.

BUT! That requires you to root the phone in first place, or you wont be able to unlock the phone and install TWRP.

So simply said: No Flyme Account, No Fun.

I have problems with camera colors (so pale)
[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] honza_81:
I tried that today and was successful. I warmed the nano sim with hair dryer, after that it goes easily off only with my hands. Then I honed hem on micro SD card and also hemmed the card from both sides. But very carefully, after hemming there was copper paths visible on SD card :). After that I used double sided tape to stick chip on micro SD card. It goes a little harder to the phone, I tried to remove it from the phone, it goes but it was a bit difficult. But now I have both sim cards and micro SD card fully working in the phone.

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry i didn't take time to read all of the 35 pages so maybe you already answer to a similar ask.

i got a Meizu M2 from aliexpress with flyme os 4.5.3.2A.

there is too much app and character in chinese.

I saw on this topic that it was possible to go from a C version to an A, is it also possible to go from an A to an I ?

If yes, can you explain how i have to proceed, it's my first "android" phone, i was on iPhone before, and i'm a bit lost ahah

Thx for the help

[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] Namek91:
You can go with "I", but first you need to change ID of phone:

https://meizufans.eu/forum/topic/25...ional-firmware-on-your-chinese-mainland-meizu

After changing ID, you can install 4.5.4I:

Well I tried at lunch time, without success.

I tried to enable root : Settings-> Accounts-> My Flyme-> Personal settings (first option) -> System privileges.

but it's only ask to allow or not root permission for apps .. it's not really to root the phone, only apps... I'm lost ahah

Well i allow root permission for the shell andoird.

I type the "su" commande but i get this in return "[-] Connection to ui timed out"

Why did I get this ?

[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] geotzia:
First step: install SuperSU from store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.supersu) and Update binaries

If all goes well you are ready to redo the same (with terminal)from the beginning just allow terminal in SU.

If Not you must reflash the rom..

You download the update.zip from meizu (4.5.3.2A or the latest but allways A),put it to the root of your phone and with the file manager you make the reflash with clear data.Then you do the same proccess from the beginning
[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] Yrow:
Well, i successfully updated to 4.5.4.2A.

And i successfully allow root privileges.

But now i lost the google play store. i search the google installer on the AppCenter but i didn't find it.

I'm sorry for all this newbie questions ahah

EDIT : Well, i found the installer. At first i search it as google or gug, but when i type installer, i found it.

But i don't know why, when i runned it, there is a problem with the google play, there is an error return, and i can't read it.

I redo the upgrade and hope it will resolve.

When there is simple thing to do, it's never works with me, i got all the problem x)
[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] geotzia:
I think the best solution is to go for the International rom then you have no problems with Google play-no chinese apps except 4 that you can easy unistall them. So for now if you want to install any app just download the apk from PC and put it to your phone,then make the installation....
[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] Yrow:
Yes this is what i tried to do, but before i have to change the id of the phone. because i bought the phone on aliexpress and i can't put like that an international rom.

Well i installed an old version of google installer. a release of 30mb and it works. now i have a root terminal i passed the su command line.

Just got this phone, I was charging it turned off, and after turning it on it dropped to 1% and now it won't even move from 1%, i tried clearing data and factory reset ( without sd card erasing ) and still same problem, any suggestion? I am on Flyme OS 4.5.30

edit: I searched this thread and saw someone said update to 4.5.4i, but I can't do it because my phone is 1%, any suggestion?

Turn off the phone, it will charge just fine
[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] jeufier:
got the same problem as yours, I think it's a bug from ver. 4.5.3i though they advised to upgrade to the latest version to fix the issue but I never did. I rooted my phone for that and for the xposed module but I was confused on how to unlock the bootloader and flash twrp, afraid? I might brick the phone. So what I did, you just normally charge your phone turning OFF, when it reaches 100%, unplug the charger. Wait for more secs and plug it. When it says 99% or less, turn ON the phone and continue charging to 100%.

PS: I can't upload pre-recorded videos to Instagram and for the built-in IG video recorder, when I upload the video, audio not synchronized. Is there a fix for 4.5.3I version? thanks.. ?

Hello,

I want to root my phone -> unlock bootloader -> install TWRP -.> install ROM. I have flyme 4.5.3O, so first thing I must do is rooting (it was already written how to do it). Then, do I need to change phone ID to I or can I try to unlock bootloader straight away? After unlocking bootloader and installing TWRP I install this ROM -> https://meizufans.eu/forum/topic/3795/elephone-p900-port-lollipop-5-1-rom-m2-mini

Also, could you write me should I change to ROM or maybe stay with flyme? Mainly I want to know which one is more stable, because I will be using 2 sim cards.

I first rooted the phone, then changed ID. After that I unlocked bootloader and flash TWRP. Now I am using Elephone ROM port with xposed+GravityBox for my fully satisfaction.

I thought that the issue with the LED is fixed? At least there was an update published lately on the 4PDA and the LED is not mentioned as unsolved problem on the first post of the thread any more.

There is also a port of the Flyme 5 for our phone published in the same thread but also with some issues, I'm not sure but I think there are some camera and SMS problems. Everything else should work fine.

Honza - if you are going to update your phone, please let me know if the new update really solves the LED problem . Is it also true that the battery life is significatly better with the Elephone rom? I am considering to install that rom.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 AM ----------

[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] dzenk:
oh, I'm sorry to hear about the LED notification. In fact the 4PDA guys seem to repair some other bugs in the rom and changed the first post of the thread a bit.

The Firmware is described here and the only known unsolved bug is the LED. The post was changed on Jan. 19.

I'm using google translator so I hope I understood it correctly.

I guess I will give the Elephone ROM a try tonight. But... is it true that one looses everything - pics, docs,... if one unlocks the Bootloader? I have to install the twrp recovery at first anyway so I wanted to do a full backup of my current rom after the twrp is installed. But if I loose everything it doesn't make sense for me, since I am 95% satisfied with the Flyme 4.5.4I (what bothers me is the keyboard bug, no possibilites to set different ringtones for different SIM cards and the absence of the settings icon in the dropdown menu. And yeah the original Flyme icons are some kind of boring... But I can still live with all that)
[Meizu M2 / M2 Mini Guides, News, & Discussion] honza_81:
I'm not sure if I lost everything, I think I didn't, but anyway you should do full wipe and format all before flashing Elephone port...

Hi all, same as the previous case, I also rooted my phone, changed the phone id and installed international 4.5.4I version.

I am as well satisfied a part of keyboard issue and sometimes notifications are coming when they want regardless the various settings adjustments.

I have this phone for a few days, avery good phone for its price class, absolutely amazing and would recommend it. have recently been using close competitors in price such as honor3c , lenovo a916 and xiaomi redmi 2 and it definately wins. honor3c comes very close though it misses some essentials(64bit, 4g mode).

feautures that stand out are the screen and battery. the screen is very clear and has beautiful colours. the battery lasts pretty long for a hpone in this price class.

as for bloatware, some suppliers "help"you by installing play store and stuff for you. unfortunately , they then decide to also install bloatware and ad pushing software. I guess they can make some extra cash with that.

Mine was bought at pandawill and had this, however , just updating to newest official rom solved this(which is really easy btw). Only real bloatware is some chinese news and video app.
