**Intro**

Just a simple HOW TO to centralize everything I found on Russian, Italian, meizufans and xda forums.

M2 Mini has good hardware but very poor software, going to CM is a relief !

**Disclaimer**

I'm not responsible for bricked device.

You may loose warranty.

You need basic knowledge of using adb tools and rooting phones.

**Boot in Recovery and Fastboot**

Boot in recovery : power on holding Volume Up and Power

Boot in fastboot mode : power on holding Volume Down and Power

**Rooting**

King Root works well http://www.kingroot.net

**ADB Drivers**

Google drivers won't recognize M2 Mini, you have to edit the inf file.

You have to activate USB Debugging in the Developer Options for ADB to work.

1) Download drivers at: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

2) Edit android_winusb.inf

3) Go to [Google.NTamd64] section and add this to the end of the section :

;MEIZU M2

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0E8D&PID_201D&MI_01

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2A45&PID_0C02&MI_01

4) Reboot Windows without driver signature enforcement

**Unlock bootloader**

You have to be on *Flyme OS 4.5.4i* for bootloader unlocking to work.

2) You have to download the unlock_bootloader.sh

2) Copy file to sdcard via MTP or ADB

adb push unlock_bootloader.sh /sdcard

3) Execute the file as root from ADB

adb shell

su

(accept warning on the phone)

sh /sdcard/unlock_bootloader.sh

4) Unlock

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem unlock

(wait for the phone to display confirmation)

"Volume Up" to accept

(wait for unlocking)

5) Reboot your phone into Flyme OS

It is very important to restart your phone and wait for Flyme OS to boot up completely before flashing a custom recovery.

**Custom recovery (TWRP)**

If you didn't boot into Flyme OS at the previous step, you might be stuck in boot loop in recovery and need to go back to the stock recovery (Uploaded on XDA by [MENTION=5913672]murtaza1326[/MENTION])
