Try to do this:

1. Get Root permissions in settings and download Root Explorer

2. Put Global rom into your main folder

3. Start Root Explorer, grant root permissions to him and go to /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name

4. Open devinfo as text file and change it from 0x79101001 to 0x79151001, then save it

5. Open the standard Flyme explorer, click on your global rom and agree with wipe

I can't guarantee that it will work but if it won't nothing bad will happen - the phone will just reboot
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pmartin:
Hello! But i have there not 0x79101001 in "devinfo" i have 0x79201001

How can i change?

best regards

peter
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] T3Rm0:
In that case change it to 0x79251001, "5" means european device

Do you have Pro 7 HE or something? I thought there are only 2 IDs:

PRO 7 Plus 0x79351001

PRO 7 0x79151001
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DiogoSepultura:
pmartin did you tried this already? let us know what happend :D
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] T3Rm0:
I've already tried it on my Plus device and nothing happened :(

The problem is that the developer has made a protection against changing ID - there are several scripts named loop, so if you change ID in devinfo and reboot they will roll back the changes.

Also I've searched for previous scripts that were working on old meizu devices, there are several ways of doing that:

1. Rewrite devinfo by using unix commands - as I understood the program finds a sector where the ID is based and replaces it. The problem is that you need to know an exact binary address for the ID but I don't know how to disassemble .img files :<

2. Get devinfo straight from the same EU device and replace it - it's easier but I don't have an EU file (If someone has it please contact me)

3. Use flash tool to write the ID directly in chipset - the most dangerous way but I can't find binary files for Helio X30, and also you need to know an adress of ID

So the easiest and the most safe way is method 2, because even if something will go wrong you can just reinstall rom from recovery mode, but if someone here knows unix\assembler he can try to locate the ID, I have extracted devinfo file (it's still has chinese ID but I believe we can find a way out) :)

Hello!

At first i had to install the "beta"-Rom. Because i had installed the SuperSu and i am at the "bootloop".

I am back, i try the version.

[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DiogoSepultura:
it work´d for you?
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kralde:
Hi

I just tried the devinfo method with no success, as stated before, it rolls back to it original stage, I even change the permissions of devinfo file with read and exwcute only, but the permissions Also rolls back

I purchased a meizu pro 7, spanish model(global model) And I will probably Return it since I purchased Also one meizu pro 7 plus, but if you want, I can accept it a few days in order to get the files needed from the European model.

Thanks!

[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TroublePro7:
I managed to install Flyme 6.1.2.0G on my Pro7 Plus (China mainland version) following your suggestions. However, I encountered several problem.

1. There is no Google service on my newly installed 6.1.2.0G. I need to install it by the unofficial app found in the Meizu App Store. As I do not trust this method to install google service, I would like to restore to the Chinese version firmware (A version).

2. However, under 6.1.2.0G, I cannot flash any firmware. In the recovery mode, if I try to flash any Chinese version firmware, it says the firmware is too old (I have tried all possible Chinese firmware). If I try to flash 6.1.2.0G, which is the only global firmware I can find, recovery says the firmware is corrupted (it cannot be, as I flashed it successfully following your approach).

3. Then I tried some unofficial method to flash back the Chinese firmware. I tried to root it by using SuperSu, but my phone refused to reboot. I can still get access to the recovery mode, but still I cannot flash any firmware to the phone. Dead end, now the phone bricked.

I am not sure how to solve the problem, and I would like to warn anyone from trying to flash the global firmware in this way. You may get stuck there. But still, I would like to thank T3Rm0 for the clever trick to flash the global version firmware.
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] T3Rm0:
Could you please tell which roms have you tried to install exactly?

SuperSU is not working on Plus devices, there should be a post about it.

Also did you check "Wipe data" before flashing?
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TroublePro7:
After I bricked my phone, I have tried the following roms via the recovery mode with wipe data checked (none of them work, with the reason from recovery mode attached after the rom name).

Flyme 6.7.10.31 beta (firmware too old)

Flyme 6.2.0.1A (firmware too old)

Flyme 6.1.2.5A (firmware too old)

Flyme 6.1.2.0G (firmware corrupted)
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kralde:
Hello,

In the end, the store told me that if I open the device, I cannot return it later

Since I purchased the plus version , I have no choice but return it, without accesing the files...

I'm so sorry :(
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] T3Rm0:
Have you tried to enter recovery mode and just mark "Wipe data" without flashing anything?

Try to contact meizu service center and tell them that you have tried to flash Flyme 6.1.2.0G from Flyme 6.7.10.31 beta and it stucked in bootloop, probably they will fix your phone for free. The problem is that they can see traces made by SuperSU so if they will notice that they will ask you to pay for repairs :<

So I spent an entire evening trying to flash my mobile and I did it!

The problem was my mac!

Files seemed to unzip when downloaded so I had to compress them before putting them on the mobile... this was the mistake.

Use a windows laptop/computer. Use the original ZIP file and fingers crossed, it should work :D

Mine is now running the global ROM... sick!

chinese ROM with OTA and all languages

Hi, I will share my experience with you.

I bought a Meizu pro 7 on a Chinese website with a modified custom ROM 6.1.0.2A with french language (my native language). The annoying thing is that i could not update my phone. I had no access to the update menu with this modified version of the ROM. And I did not have access to all the settings including the secondary display.

So first i tried to download the last version of the international ROM 6.X.X.XG. But it was impossible to update to the A version from the G. Then, i decided to download the last version of the chinese ROM 6.2.0.1A. I copy paste the ZIP file on my Meizu and execute it. The update was a success. But as you know the Chinesse version of the ROM has only 2 languages (chinese and english) and don't have the Playstore and the Google service.

To install the Google service including the Playstore, it's very easy. You have to download the app "Google installer". Go the Meizu Appcenter and type "Gugean" (chinese traduction of google installer) and install the app.

Now you have access to the Google service and the Playstore.

To install your native language, I found an app "MoreLocal 2". This app will allow you to install your native language (french, spanish, deutch etc..). For me I install French language.

So now I had the last version of the Chinese ROM with full function and with OTA update and French language. It's as if I had the international version of the ROM.

I hope it could help some of you

Hello to every body! Need your help. Can somebody get scatter file from Meizu Pro 7 Plus? I need this file to unbrick my phone. If u don't how how to get. In internet so many treads about getting scatter file. Please help!
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kazcou:
Hi everyone and Shakh28,

I can use a scatter file too..

Because my phone in stucked in the bootloop and I can't update the firmware.

I got the annoying message "too old version".

Otherwise there is a scatter file in the firmware, but it is not compatible with SP FLASH TOOLS.

(Maybe with some modifications that can work.).

Shakh28 did you find a working driver for your phone ? The latest VCOM for MTK67XX is not working for me.

For those who can help you can use MTK Droid Tool for create a scatter file.

(but you need to find a working driver).
[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Shakh28:
Hi bro! Hope ur fine)

Unfortunately until now there is no mtk tool, that can get scatter file from working pro 7 plus cuz MTKT don't works with 64 bit platforms (Pro 7+ is on 64-bit). That's why i've sent my phone to China to the service center. One month I tried to fix this. But no success... I'm from Uzbekistan and here we don't have service center =(. Scatter file for SPFT can be extracted only with mtktool i guess (sorry for English)

Pro 7-H

Apparently the Pro 7-H (128GB X30 model) is having some issues with the global firmware.

Mine came with an old (6.0.0.1A or something) ROM, no OTA updates. Decided to grab the latest ROM from the Flyme website and update. This failed instantly. After some ROM's, found that the ROM's from the Chinese Flyme site actually did flash to the phone but the Chinese site does make a clear distinction between the Pro 7 and the Pro 7-H. The global Flyme sites only seem to know the 64G P25 model. With what Google Translate enabled me to do, I got the phone running with the latest beta. A few posts back I saw that this can be used to sort of recreate the global ROM functionality, but simply put I don't think that any global firmware exists for the Pro 7-H (yet?). Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

One thing I managed to do to "fix" the boot loop was actually put the SIM-card in. But since only Chinese "A" ROM's even flash, this doesn't exactly help

[MENTION=353676]Lifeforce[/MENTION]: Thanks. I had figured out as much, but hopefully the Pro 7-H will see a global release as well. For now the phone works good enough to replace my Lumia 950 and as a Windows 10 Mobile user, basically everything right now can be considered an upgrade XD

[MENTION=353676]Lifeforce[/MENTION]: Thats's great to hear! Patience is no problem, the phone is worth it :)

FINALLY I've found a method!!! It works for 7 Pro H. (Chinese version on a Helio X30, 128 GB)

1. Go to needrom.com/download/meizu-pro-7-h-no-pro-4gb-128gb-helio-x30-custom-international-firmware/

Register, and download .zip file from above

2.	Unpack on a desktop

3.	Connect your 7Pro H as a CD-rom, - adb drivers should be installed automatically.

4.	Run adb.exe, restart a computer

5.	Create a txt file (right mouse click) with only a line - 0x2a45. Save as adb_usb.ini Copy this file to C:\Users\USER NAME\.android

6.	Activate a Developer mode on your phone by tapping several times on a “Firmware version” in “About a phone” menu.

7.	In a “Dev. Mode” turn on “USB debugging”

8.	Connect a phone as a MTP

9.	Run “Start.cmd” from a folder on a destop (step 2)

10.	When appears “Connect via ADB, please arouse your phone and allow the connection in the popup window…” - confirm an access on a phone screen

11.	In a window of Start.cmd

a.	Press 1 to perform a full backup

or

b.	Press 2 to flash

12.	There is no progress bar, so just be patient.

13.	It takes about 10-12min.

14.	After you receiving 2 messages about flashing 2 files (of 500 and 2500 MB) press any key.

Phone will boot into recovery, press CANCEL

Wipe or not data – it’s up to you. I’ve flashed over Chinese beta 6.7.12.12 with no wipes – everything (apps) works fine.

ROOT access is also remains from a previous fw.

Done. Enjoy!

NB. There is no Flyme account and no OTA as well. If you need root - root your current fw, then flash as above with no wipes.

Firmware works perfect!

Why should he. You already have official G firmware from the manufacturer and can flash it from their website. Problem is for the people having Pro7-H , which is only for the Chinese market and hence will probably never see official release of G firmware at all.

[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] megagips:
Hi,

during my testing i found out that the initial beta release from Meizu does not seem to have protections for flash implemented. What this means is that you can flash it on your device and from that version you should be able to flash other versions. The initial beta is located below. Make sure you choose to download the Meizu Pro7-S one. Please try to flash it the usual way on your device by copying and flashing via recovery. Wipe data and cache during flash, because otherwise its possible to get stuck in boot. Happened to me.

[Meizu Pro 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] megagips:
Hi,

unfortunately i found a bug in the Flyme that cannot be easily fixed without the default permissions app(security center). The app is not available in the Pro7H modified rom. I have a workaround that seems to work even without the security center, but you need to be persistent. So basically the problem is that push notifications do not work. They do work until app is active, but after like 10 min no more push notifications. Traced the problem and it seems to be related to the aggressive power management on the os. In fact it simply closes the applications for some reason. Unfortunately without the security center the permissions control is limited, so there are two options. First and the easiest one is to simply download the security center app from below link. I have tested the beta security center and it works fine with this version of the flyme. The earlier ones i found only one of them simply closes itself after launch. Here is the link:

http://www.driftsnail.com/videos/mzsecurity.apk

Second option is to somehow force the application that you need to appear in the battery menu. Just open battery menu from settings and then choose Power Usage Details and then in Software if you are lucky you will find the app that you need to tweak. So the permission that you need to modify will appear only there, if you don;t have the security center app. Unfortunately not all apps are listed there for some reason. If you are persistent and open the app and use it a lot it may appear there, i am not sure about the mechanism the os decides to put the app in that menu. It tooke me a while until LINE chat appeared there, but Skype for example found itself there quite a lot easier, may be something to do with the fact that i installed the Skype via APK. Anyway as soon as you oepn the Power Usage Details and choose the app in the bottom you will see the "Permission to Run in Background" option. So basically this is the permission that makes the problem. By default Flyme puts all apps in an option called "Smart Background(recommended)". Well basically this does not work and is the same like "Do not allow app to run in background". As to why it does not work do not ask me, i may be fixed in the latest A betas, but i have no idea. Anyway changing this to Allow running in background fixes the apps to not being shut down and of course push notifications start to work. Hope this is useful to someone i struggled a few days with this ........
