[Meizu Pro 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TamashiiTora:
I'm missing something...

First, install ADB and Fastboot on your pc :

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fastboot adb

Connect the Meizu phone to your pc with a usb cable. Then power up the Meizu 5 Pro with both the power button and volume down.

You’ll see a screen like this:

Type:

:sudo fastboot devices

If all went well you’ll see a screen with an number/letter combination with the text fastboot behind it.

With the next command you are going to flash TWRP custom recovery to your phone.

sudo fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img

This should be done pretty fast. Power off your phone, and restart it with volume up and power button both pressed.

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Everything goes good ADB list a device. however when I tell it to :sudo fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img

the terminal says:

tamashii@tamashiitora:~$ sudo adb fastboot flash recovery TWRP_3.0_m86.img

Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.32

Revision debian

-a - directs adb to listen on all interfaces for a connection

-d - directs command to the only connected USB device

returns an error if more than one USB device is present.

-e - directs command to the only running emulator.

returns an error if more than one emulator is running.

-s <specific device> - directs command to the device or emulator with the given

serial number or qualifier. Overrides ANDROID_SERIAL

environment variable.

-p <product name or path> - simple product name like 'sooner', or

a relative/absolute path to a product

out directory like 'out/target/product/sooner'.

If -p is not specified, the ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT

environment variable is used, which must

be an absolute path.

-H - Name of adb server host (default: localhost)

-P - Port of adb server (default: 5037)

devices [-l] - list all connected devices

('-l' will also list device qualifiers)

connect <host>[:<port>] - connect to a device via TCP/IP

Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.

disconnect [<host>[:<port>]] - disconnect from a TCP/IP device.

Port 5555 is used by default if no port number is specified.

Using this command with no additional arguments

will disconnect from all connected TCP/IP devices.

device commands:

adb push [-p] <local> <remote>

- copy file/dir to device

('-p' to display the transfer progress)

adb pull [-p] [-a] <remote> [<local>]

- copy file/dir from device

('-p' to display the transfer progress)

('-a' means copy timestamp and mode)

adb sync [ <directory> ] - copy host->device only if changed

(-l means list but don't copy)

(see 'adb help all')

adb shell - run remote shell interactively

adb shell <command> - run remote shell command

adb emu <command> - run emulator console command

adb logcat [ <filter-spec> ] - View device log

adb forward --list - list all forward socket connections.

the format is a list of lines with the following format:

<serial> " " <local> " " <remote> "\n"

adb forward <local> <remote> - forward socket connections

forward specs are one of:

tcp:<port>

localabstract:<unix domain socket name>

localreserved:<unix domain socket name>

localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>

dev:<character device name>

jdwp:<process pid> (remote only)

adb forward --no-rebind <local> <remote>

- same as 'adb forward <local> <remote>' but fails

if <local> is already forwarded

adb forward --remove <local> - remove a specific forward socket connection

adb forward --remove-all - remove all forward socket connections

adb reverse --list - list all reverse socket connections from device

adb reverse <remote> <local> - reverse socket connections

reverse specs are one of:

tcp:<port>

localabstract:<unix domain socket name>

localreserved:<unix domain socket name>

localfilesystem:<unix domain socket name>

adb reverse --norebind <remote> <local>

- same as 'adb reverse <remote> <local>' but fails

if <remote> is already reversed.

adb reverse --remove <remote>

- remove a specific reversed socket connection

adb reverse --remove-all - remove all reversed socket connections from device

adb jdwp - list PIDs of processes hosting a JDWP transport

adb install [-lrtsdg] <file>

- push this package file to the device and install it

(-l: forward lock application)

(-r: replace existing application)

(-t: allow test packages)

(-s: install application on sdcard)

(-d: allow version code downgrade)

(-g: grant all runtime permissions)

adb install-multiple [-lrtsdpg] <file...>

- push this package file to the device and install it

(-l: forward lock application)

(-r: replace existing application)

(-t: allow test packages)

(-s: install application on sdcard)

(-d: allow version code downgrade)

(-p: partial application install)

(-g: grant all runtime permissions)

adb uninstall [-k] <package> - remove this app package from the device

('-k' means keep the data and cache directories)

adb bugreport - return all information from the device

that should be included in a bug report.

adb backup [-f <file>] [-apk|-noapk] [-obb|-noobb] [-shared|-noshared] [-all] [-system|-nosystem] [<packages...>]

- write an archive of the device's data to <file>.

If no -f option is supplied then the data is written

to "backup.ab" in the current directory.

(-apk|-noapk enable/disable backup of the .apks themselves

in the archive; the default is noapk.)

(-obb|-noobb enable/disable backup of any installed apk expansion

(aka .obb) files associated with each application; the default

is noobb.)

(-shared|-noshared enable/disable backup of the device's

shared storage / SD card contents; the default is noshared.)

(-all means to back up all installed applications)

(-system|-nosystem toggles whether -all automatically includes

system applications; the default is to include system apps)

(<packages...> is the list of applications to be backed up. If

the -all or -shared flags are passed, then the package

list is optional. Applications explicitly given on the

command line will be included even if -nosystem would

ordinarily cause them to be omitted.)

adb restore <file> - restore device contents from the <file> backup archive

adb disable-verity - disable dm-verity checking on USERDEBUG builds

adb enable-verity - re-enable dm-verity checking on USERDEBUG builds

adb keygen <file> - generate adb public/private key. The private key is stored in <file>,

adb start-server - ensure that there is a server running

adb kill-server - kill the server if it is running

adb reboot [bootloader|recovery]

- reboots the device, optionally into the bootloader or recovery program.

adb reboot sideload - reboots the device into the sideload mode in recovery program (adb root required).

adb reboot sideload-auto-reboot

- reboots into the sideload mode, then reboots automatically after the sideload regardless of the result.

adb root - restarts the adbd daemon with root permissions

adb tcpip <port> - restarts the adbd daemon listening on TCP on the specified port

networking:

adb ppp <tty> [parameters] - Run PPP over USB.

Note: you should not automatically start a PPP connection.

<tty> refers to the tty for PPP stream. Eg. dev:/dev/omap_csmi_tty1

[parameters] - Eg. defaultroute debug dump local notty usepeerdns

adb sync notes: adb sync [ <directory> ]

<localdir> can be interpreted in several ways:

- If <directory> is not specified, /system, /vendor (if present), /oem (if present) and /data partitions will be updated.

- If it is "system", "vendor", "oem" or "data", only the corresponding partition

is updated.

environmental variables:

ADB_TRACE - Print debug information. A comma separated list of the following values

1 or all, adb, sockets, packets, rwx, usb, sync, sysdeps, transport, jdwp

ANDROID_SERIAL - The serial number to connect to. -s takes priority over this if given.

ANDROID_LOG_TAGS - When used with the logcat option, only these debug tags are printed.

Sooo what did I do wrong? Did I miss a command (file location) or (destination)??

:confused:

Thanks for your awesome work on this.
