[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adaa1262:
You got the device pretty early

The device launched two month ago in China so MEIZU hasn't even released this device firmware.

That means no TWRP recovery yet

MEIZU also going to launch this phone globally in a few months so the best thing for now is wait.

(They announced that they going to launch this phone soon in Greece)

I really believe this device would get a good community support as SD625+Sony IMX 362 makes a great combo.

The camera really destroys even the Mi6 sensor in some ocations and the phone only cost 140€ for the 16gb version.

Also don't forget the quite superior front facing camera .

I was going to get the mi a1 but when I saw this bad boy I knew this is the phone I'll get.

If I understand you're talking about the M6 Note community.

There no global release for the device yet .

Even MEIZU hasn't released the device ROM on their website so no bootloader unlock or custom recoveries yet.

MEIZU will launch the phone soon in EU so we'll have to wait for a global ROM , bootloader unlock tool and kernel sources

I have this phone now for a week with the latest Flyme update (6.1.4.3A). Phone has amazing battery life and realy good camera but.........it lacks B20 support. Even the site of Meizu says it's support B20 but it does not https://www.meizu.com/en/note6/spec/. I hope in future they can enable it by software but I'm afraid it's hardware related. I have modelnumber M721Q whisch should be Netcom Public version (whatever this means). https://reameizu.com/meizu-product/m721/

Just ordered this phone myself, can you tell me what this means and how did you notice? Will I be able to use it effectively in Holland and Belgium where band 20 is used!?

Was just looking forward to throw away my old 4s. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Maybe you can tell me where did you buy it? Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopiconjo:
I bought it at Lightinthebox. I checked several sites for Band 20 and they confirmed it. Prior to this phone I had GalaxyS5 and LG G3 and both had 4G in my area. The Meizu did not receive 4G. After installing the app Network Signal Guru I discovered no band 20 was supported on my Meizu. I have KPN as proviceder and they use Band 20 for G4. In crowded areas like "Randstad" they also support B3 which the Meizu supports and confirm that 4G is working on B3 but not B20. The support desk of Lightinthebox will check this with Meizu.

Update: I found out you need model B721H Global version

On the stupdroid website, under Download section there are 3 links.

Can someone please try the 3rd link and see if the Gcam work?

PS: I don't have the M6 Note yet and I don't know if the website, the links and the app is trustworthy. Otherwise I would have tested it myself and share the good news.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancmackem:
I researched this phone and was told the Global version (3GB RAM, 32GB model) does support band 20 via AliExpress:

https://ru.aliexpress.com/item/Meiz...&terminal_id=60379be8e4bc4775a2175e7f4567d436

The 4GB 32/64GB models do not support band 20.

The listing is in Russian so use Chrome to translate. I will check when the phone arrives. If it doesn't support band 20 i will claim part refund from the retailer as it is their policy.

Hope this helps!

Hi! I recently got the M6 from China, updated to Flyme 6.7.12.22 beta and rooted through Settings > Fingerprint & Security > Root Permission...

then edited BuildProp adding persist.camera.eis.enabled=1 and persist.camera.HAL3.enabled=1 (I didn't hope it worked so easily), then installed this mod apk for LG G6. Haven't had enough time to test and try configs, but the camera is working and HDR+ is ON.

Right, so I got the phone yesterday. Rooted it on 6.1.4.5a ( easy to root, just create a meizu account, and go to settings/security/root permission)

Downloaded the google camera as stated by metalyeah above this thread.

The app doesn't crash, but it doesn't actually do anything. HDR+ makes not difference. Camera 2 API is enabled in build prop etc.

I tried other mods, but gcam keeps crashing.

There is a dedicated camera thread for M6 Note on this russian forum: http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=849045

You could probably find more information there using google translate. To my knowledge, no one has actually proved that HDR+ works on M6 Note but some users in that forum claim that it works.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ames3:
The camera quality is great now, the photos are better comparing to Iphone SE, Lenovo P2, Xiaomi A1, but with every daily update Meizu is upgrading it's quality. We're waiting for any custom ROM to enable HAL3. Having it will give us a chance to beat every device in this price category

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olegorsk:
I can not insert a link to the resource. You can go to the address - 4pda.ru

There on the forum in the search enter the M6 note and choose the discussion / unofficial firmware. There are two versions:

1. Android One (ported with Mi a1)

2. AOSP (pure android)

There are also instructions for installing the firmware and getting the root.

The only problem with the camera is 2 api, the AOSP has support for level 3 camera 2 api.

But Google does not work properly. Maybe there will be specialists here who will help in the issue of launching a Google camera on our device.

Is there any chance to bring it back? It restarted somehow in thr twrp recovery mode and automatically wiped. Thanks for help.

Okay so now i know the reason. My loveky GF accidentaly removed my phone from the google account and it forced my phone to delete itself. Is there any chance that i can return it back to normal?
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
What was on your SD is probably gone forever. You don't use Google Photos to back up pics? Unlimited storage there.

Run the appropriate RUU for your device, and when you sign in to Google you should be able to restore it back to what is was, more or less. Photos and songs will probably be gone though.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] FTWDiesel:
No, cause google photos kept my photos return back in my phone after i deleted them. Strange. What is RUU? I signed back in google and nothing really hapopened :(
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
RUU is ROM Update Utility.

What does it say next to "OS" in download mode? With that info I could direct you to the proper RUU for your device.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] FTWDiesel:
It says 2.41.401.3
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
I have the idea his OS still works but all info is gone. As he says he signed into Google and nothing happened. I might misinterpreted that part. Maybe the OP can shine a light on that particular part.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Haldi4803:
WoW... we're not talking about the intern Storage, we're talking about a MicroSD card here right?

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] FTWDiesel:
I mean that it didnt start to sync.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] Mr Hofs:
Now i am still a bit confused. Does your phone boot into a working OS ? I'm asking this because xunholy is giving the option to perform a RUU which isn't necessary if the phone still works.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwe1234:
Hello everyone:)

First of all sorry for my english. I'm not a native english so please forgive me if I say something wrong. Second - this is my first thread here (since now, reading informations from here was enough to handle all of my problems but at this moment well... I surrender and need some advice) so please be understanding.

I have a problem with HTC M7. My friend gave it to me for a little hardware fix and software update. I fixed the hardware but I'm stuck on firmware update.

I wanted to update firmware to 5.05.651.2 with automatic updates but it crashes somewhere in the middle with red triangle sign.

So I started to read. First I've read that I need to unlock bootloader, so I made it with fastboot - nothing changed. Later found some info that I need a stock firmware to enable updates. So I downloaded some firmware but failed to install it (tried with fastboot). Next info I found that to install stock firmware I need to root the device. So I've rooted it. Still nothing. Trying to flash in "rebootRUU" mode with fastboot gave me info that no "android-info.txt" was found. Some more reading and searching and I've noticed that my HTC is probably Sprint version (to be honest I do not know what is the difference). So I downloaded some Sprint firmware. Still no effect... Ehh I'm depressed and I'm begging for help:crying:

So at this moment I have:

Android ver. 4.4.2

HTC Sense ver. 6.0

Software ver. 5.03.651.3

Kernel ver. 3.4.10-gf22c859

(translated from Polish menu)

Info from bootloader:

*** RELOCKED ***

M7_WLS PVT SHIP S-OFF RH

CID-11111111

HBOOT - 1.44.0000

RADIO-1.00.31.0603

OpenDSP-v31.120.274.0617

eMMC-BOOT

Jul 5 2013, 17:19:22:3

Custom recovery installed from file: openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-m7wls

Root made with iRoot app.

Also I don't know if it was earlier, but now lockscreen on android is in Chinese while all the rest is in Polish :/

Maybe it's important - friend told me that phone is from Shanghai (I don't know where does he have that info from).

If any additional information is needed please write and I will post it asap.

What I would like to achieve? I would like to install latest available stock firmware (without any changes, cool apps or any additional software). Just an basic android with Google store available. My friend is not advanced android user. He just want latest software.

I would probably fight with this device more but also a big problem are dead links all over the forums (htc1guru etc). I'm counting that maybe some of you here have backups of roms. Or maybe I just don't know how to find a proper one.

Full step-by-step manual what should I do would be great but of course I appreciate any other suggestions or advice. Just need some help.

(one more thing - for those who want to write "use search, there are a lot of manuals on the web, we won't make it for you etc" please, I spent couple of hours searching and reading and I don't understand or I don't know how to use info's I found. I'm not an Android user for last couple of years)

Thank you in advance for any help :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
See comment in red below

download these 3 files and save it in the folder where you already have fastboot.exe and adb.exe on your computer.

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347850182

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24588232905725176

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=24341993505161791

First update your firmware:

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 6.23.651.10_full_firmware.zip
fastboot flash zip 6.23.651.10_full_firmware.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader

You need to do the "fastboot flash zip" command twice. First time you'll get the "remote: 90 hboot pre-update! Please flush image again immediately" error. Second time the firmware will flash completely and should see a "OK/ flash sucessful" message. You can disregard the progress bar on the phone screen, it might not indicate 100% but if fastboot tell you "OK/ flash sucessful" it's alright

Then you can confirm everything is alright with

fastboot getvar all

your version-main should now be 6.23.651.10 and your hboot 1.61 instead of 1.44

Now you can flash the RUU, similar process but you must use the fastboot version linked above (htc_fastboot.exe):

fastboot oem rebootRUU
htc_fastboot flash zip PN071IMG_M7WLS_L50_SENSE60_SPRINT_6.23.651.10_signed.zip
fastboot reboot

Your phone might reboot by itself once, just wait until fastboot reports "OK". Again you can disregard the progress bar on your phone.

Make sure the phone is fully charged before doing all that and if something goes wrong post here and wait (do not skip any steps).

If everything went ok, the phone should reboot to the latest stock android version and the old twrp version replaced with the stock recovery. If the phone was sim-unlocked it might be relocked to Sprint again and you'll have to sim-unlock again (you can find the procedure in the "Sprint htc one" forum section, in the "general" sub-section.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwe1234:
My friend Thank You very much for all the instructions... but...

Last step:

ended with error ;(

fastboot gave following:

processing file 2/5...

error: cannot load 'C:\Users\x101ch\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpp6r0paxd'

htc_fastboot finished. total time: 297.909s

Phone restarted once in the middle like you said.

I rebooted with "fastboot reboot" . Startup screen show up and now there is a black screen with dimmed backlight. Power button doesn't do anything. Any of commands in fasboot also don't work. Ahh...

One more thing. I haven't noticed that you changed command from fastboot to htc_fastboot so I changed htc_fastboot file name to just fastboot and used command fastboot. Don't know if it matters...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:

Rebooting after a failed/incomplete flash can hard brick your phone. If you can't get fastboot connectivity again, there is not much you can do. Sorry

Ahhh. My bad;( I didn't want to leave everything turned on for so many hours. Well nevermind.

Hey sorry, don't mean to hijack this thread.

But would the same instructions apply for updating any older HTC m7 as far as the firmware and RUU is concerned?

I'm getting crickets on my thread, and just needed a general confirmation on the process again since it's been awhile.

I'm looking to flash a more current ROM and newer twrp recovery(or whatever is the best out there now).

Just confirming the process you described would still work the same way.

Thanks!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Since yours is also a Sprint HTC One, yes the same procedure should work.

quote me next time and I'll be notified, just like you did in this thread.

Don't forget that only Sprint roms and Sprint recovery will work on your phone (roms or recovery for the gsm/m7ul won't work). Make sure the custom rom you want to flash is compatible with the Sprint variant (it will be mentioned in the OP of the rom thread if it's compatible with Sprint/M7_WLS). Flash the Sprint TWRP version:

twrp-3.1.1-0-m7wls.img

not

twrp-3.1.1-0-m7.img
