Is there a way to upgrade Meizu Pro 5 to Android M?

I have rooted Meizu Pro 5 and I found root does not give complete access to the system. I tried to check the details of /data, it gave me permission denied.

Do I need to do some more things to get complete root privileges?

shell@PRO5:/data # ls

opendir failed, Permission denied

255|shell@PRO5:/data #

Thanks in advance.
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] JainMayurD:
Root procedure given at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=63776701&postcount=23 does not give complete root access.

I rooted device using above steps it got rooted but /data folder was not accessible. You can get the complete root access by installing "root 360" from AppStore and root the mobile. It will give full access. I tried on my phone and it worked fine.

Thank You!

Can I ask, is there any particular reason people want to flash the International version onto the Chinese version? It's just that the shop I am looking to buy it from is only selling the Chinese version and I just want to know if I will be missing out on anything or run into problems with the Chinese version? I just need it to be in English and will be using it in Germany which as far as I can tell, the Chinese version supports the LTE bands in Germany. Will I run into any other problems?
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dli628:
Your not using root to call the ls command. Try running su first, to change your user from shell@PRO5 to root@PRO5. It works for me when I try in root. I have transferred root management to SUPERSU, by the way.

---------- Post added at 01:11 ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 ----------

As far as I am aware, there was an attempt to get the unlocked bootloader from the leaked international beta onto a Chinese version phone, which failed (so far). The international rom also has less flyme apps than the Chinese version (a positive or negative depending on how you see it).
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] JainMayurD:
I have done below steps

$su

#cd /data

#ls

'#' symbol indicate I have root permission, but acsess to /data folder was not there.

How to transfer root management to SUPER SU ?

Now I have a phone which has complete root access. I dont know how to go back to original state and recheck.
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] dli628:
I think the root option that is baked into the flyme rom is not complete. To use SUPERSU as your root manager, install the app from the Google play store and start it up. It will ask whether you want to install root binaries - answer yes. Wait until its done (a few minutes) and then reboot as it says. Then go back to your terminal emulator. This time when your run "su" the prompt should read "root@PRO5:/ #"
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] JainMayurD:
Yes, the root option in flyme is not complete. Check the post

Hi guys, I need little help.

I just bought new pro 5 international version.

Why I cannot update flyme OTA?

simple update

you need download update manualy to your phone. place update.zip in internal memory and update using recovery or just open file via filemanager on your device.

Hey everyone. I'm looking at getting this phone, I came from a Oneplus One to a Galaxy S6 and I just can't get enough of these chinese flagships. I was wondering if this had NFC? I've seen in videos that someone had the option for it. But asked around and was told it doesn't. Any help would be appreciated!
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] $or$:
It has NFC don't worry ;)
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AaronW95:
Fantastic! Do you know where I can get an international version of it for a good price? Don't want to pay over £350 and don't really trust Ebay and their returns. Again, any help is very much appreciated.
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] $or$:
Why you want to pay more for I version when you can get the Chinese version cheaper?

Anyway I heard from some other people that they get their international phones from alixpress (note that both versions are available in alixpress so, be careful if you want to buy from them which version you choose to buy)

My recommendation for you is if you can pay more or consider newer phone that has a great developer community and support buy only HTC *flagships*. HTC M10 is just 2 months away and should be much better than pro5 in terms of display, camera, performance and future supports. I have 5 years old htc desire hd and running android 6 with it! It's all because of great developer community htc has compare to other and meizu has the worst one!
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] showofdeth:
+1 What this guy said. Although I don't agree with his choice of HTC (Sorry mate, they're awful ?) it's 1000000% true that anyone is better off going for a more well-known brand with a good modding community. I love(d) my PRO 5 but the lack of custom ROM and such support is really depressing.

I've read on our italian forum that sometimes it's better to put the rom in BIN format on the phone memory... But I don't know in what cases...

:confused::confused::confused:
[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] $or$:
Everyone knows that how great was HTC desire HD and I recommended htc 10 new device not old htc devices like m9 and ect to AaronW95. You are right about past htc devices but, M10 seems very promising at least better than gs7 to me as camera, processor and display should be equal (Both with equal S820 processor, 12mp large pixel camera, 2k Amoled screen). Plus sound experience and user experience with sense roms are always much better than laggy touchwiz in sumsung devices and htc support USB type C and likely to have more battery capacity + expandable memory + Aluminum or magnesium body so, it should be much better than current GS7 and other devices.

and the first tester prize goes to [MENTION=3971563]workdowg[/MENTION] ... as usual i might add

just when i was ready to write: come'on all of you dwarf 1050 owners :)

so we already have confirmation from 1050 (workdowg), i would say 99% it's the same on 830

again after you flash it you can leave it there (it's a good feeling to know that you have an unlocked bootloader)

and now the really important questions will follow:

- is this a permanent root?

- it already installs linux/windows or do i have to put my sdcard in?

- where's the link to the marshmallow cm rom ?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] neverapple88:
I succeeded. np (flashing, 1050F)

But how can I know that I had unlocked? (how to check?)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
if it boots up to Android AFTER you flashed the patched esp image then you are

it allows whatever boot image (in boot or fastboot or recovery partition) to be loaded without being checked for valid signature (ie you can modify your boot images from now on and flash them and you will no longer get the "verification failed" error message that a locked bootloader would give)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] neverapple88:
Thank you! :victory:
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
if you really want to test with some more tangible result (the already tested) extract then flash the attached file, boot to fastboot and flash with

fastboot flash boot boot-selinux-permissive.img

it will make your selinux permissive ie log & ALLOW operations that are violating the selinux policy. the original stock has selinux in enforcing mode ie log & BLOCK

before you flash the modded boot image open an adb shell and check the selinux mode, input

getenforce (it should output enforcing)

now go to fastboot and flash the modded image as per above instructed, reboot and enter in the same command

getenforce (should output permissive now)

there you go... on a locked bootloader it would have hang on boot start after you flashed the modded image with some verification failed error message (and it's true, the modded image is by no way digitally signed :) )

ps. this is made from a stock 1050f boot image so it works/testing on 1050f only (the other 830 and 1380 models will most likely hang on boot or at least blank the screen due to different configurations in the original images, but it's the same concept, this is made at the special request of our korean guy)
