Hello.

Is it possible to do root on the global version of flyme 7 for meizu 16?
[Meizu MX] Braindeadz:
Do you have news ? Thanks you
[Meizu MX] shiinto:
Not via the built-in settings since Meizu has disabled the root feature (although you might still see it)

I am not going to try, but if you wanna risk it, you can try Kingoroot (beware, contains maleware)

Besides root, I would love a twrp version for the 16th.
[Meizu MX] deleater:
So, appears that I've bought meizu right in time, when rooting is all pain again! lol hell, I was hoping that this time I won't need to scratch my brain untill it bleeds haha

No news meantime? Need to wait for someone to solve that rooting 16th stuff?
[Meizu MX] fatjoez:
I'm waiting for root also.

I have asked meizu seller on AliExpress but so far they didn't respond to it
[Meizu MX] shiinto:
I'm sorry but they are the most unlikely people to help you out with this.

You will have to wait for either a twrp or a release of the root option restriction in an upcoming flymeOS update.

Since both options are rather unlikely to happen soon, you might be stuck with unrooted stock for a while. Sorry.
[Meizu MX] deleater:
I've heard that there are succesfull tests of unlocking and flashing twrp done already! They aren't letting it go public yet tho.
[Meizu MX] meizu16th-user:
Hi. Got my white global few days ago. This is good news.

Where to follow these news? Patiently waiting for root and xposed-magisk.
[Meizu MX] deleater:
Yeah, I'm waiting for using tweaks too. I've read about it at 4pda.ru but nothing certain besides someone varified there is a tested way but it will take time till it goes public.

I believe you can just check on here, it will pop up eventually since xda is the biggest android dev solutions pool as far as I know.

If I'll read anything new at 4pda, I'll post it here.
[Meizu MX] meizu16th-user:
Also watching 4pda.ru for news.

Flashed Chinese firmware, applied for root through painfull online application and waiting for root authorization code.

Phone runs great, chinese firmware is ok, everything is in english and completely usable.
[Meizu MX] deleater:
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=905401&st=3860#entry78128995

Hm, may be I should switch to cn version also :D But I don't have that many bugs, only common. Thanks for the idea anyway! Somewhy didn';t think of that.
[Meizu MX] meizu16th-user:
Successfully rooted. Chinese firmware. Titanium backup working.

Will post a complete tutorial and share links.

Few more posts - newbie account.
[Meizu MX] meizu16th-user:
Found a little tweak for mback.

Installed gravitybox for oreo in xposed.

In navigation keys actions enabled double tap action to home for all keys ( menu, home, back, recents). Will explore more which one is responsible...

Now when i double tap mback it goes to home.

Reason, sometimes its hard to press mback to go home when you are holding phone with one hand. And when surfing in browser it goes back and you lose current page..

Anyone with russian language knowledge.

There are flymetools for flyme 7 on 4pda ru. Cant register and download because of russian captcha.

Flymetools is and xposed module for tweaking flymeos.
[Meizu MX] deleater:
PM me the link, I'll get it for you.

PS I'm using gesture system, it's pretty ok to me so far.

PPS chinese version runs ok? No special bugs and all? Wonder if there will be a way to add more languages, never used flyme before... Not sure I want to keep using english all the time.
[Meizu MX] fatjoez:
Thanks everyone. can you please PM me guide for chinese firmware.

The russians use Global firmware right? If they have root maybe we can get it soon on global firmware rooted
[Meizu MX] meizu16th-user:
Hi.

Exploring combination of mback and xposed egde gestures. So far so god.

Chinese version runs ok. I have frozen few chinese apps i really do not need and the rest is ok. In chinese firmware there are only english and chinese system language - so you know.

---------- Post added at 10:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

Not sure about RU firmware root. I would say no because members of 4pda ru are aslo switching to chinese firmware to get root...

Quick chinese firmware flash tutorial:

Go to flyme cn. Find firmware for meizu 16th . Download latest A version.

Site is slow but downloading update was ok.

Copy update.zip and copy to your phone.

Shut down.

Power on + Volume up.

You will boot into stock recovery.

Update and clear data.

Wait 5 minutes.

Done.

Root is another story. PM google translate link.
[Meizu MX] jam_27:
please could we have the step by step procedure?

Please could we have the step by step procedure?

Why do we need to install the Chinese firmware - why does it not work with the global version?

Could we please also list the bugs people are observing (ideally needs a separate thread)
[Meizu MX] meizu16th-user:
I think this is my 10th post. Now i can? post links. Will write a complete tutorial in english with links.

Meizu made it only possible for chinese firmware to have root so far. Period.

My only bug so far is that camera sometimes shows a message that by turning on wifi scaning something something... i always click cancel, didnt have time to explore yet.

Yes a separate thread and section would be nice. You can vote, comment, make a request somewhere on the forum...

Test, can i share links and images... Google play with chinese A firmware.

Yes i can...
[Meizu MX] jam_27:
OK, is there a way to backup my Global Rom before I install the chinese firmware ?

link to chinese firmware - v7.1.1.2A

link to manual firmware upgrade. Could someome please detail this in English?

My 16th is on its way, but those could who already have the global version confirm if they have the current ROM (Flyme 7.1.1.0G) as listed here?
[Meizu MX] meizu16th-user:
Dont know.

There is google backup. I have not tried.
[Meizu MX] jam_27:
I read that the chinese firmware does not have google play store..is this correct?
[Meizu MX] meizu16th-user:
Yes. Correct. Writing tutorial right now for flash, play store and root for Chinese firmware.

---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

Made a tutorial and a new section for 16th.

This file package is also applicable to Meizu 16, but TWRP can't brush, TWRP is Note8, 16 needs you to adapt!
[Meizu MX] armenchix:

but finally all guys wrote about china rom...

and I wanna ask again, any idea for Global now? or we just still waiting for the miracle ?:rolleyes:
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wiceqq:
Hi, how do I check my current bootloader version that is on my phone? And how do i know what version of bootloader will be in any stock rom i want to flash?

I don't want to overwrite with older bootloader. Need to know the current and the next one i will flash.

My device is from Europe and I have NPN25.137-92 installed.. I think this is not the latest stock nougat for my region.

Cheers.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
No need to push your question everyday. If someone is able/wants to answer he will do.

First of all: NPN25.137-92 is

not

the European firmware, it's the one for India and Brazil.

The latest one in Europe seems to be NPN25.137-93-14, since yesterday there is another update with version number NPN25.137-93-18 out incl. August security patch but until now only US users (software channel RETUS) have confirmed it. For India/Brazil (your firmware) the latest Nougat firmware is NPN25.137-92-14.

Have you fastboot flashed some firmware on your device so that you are on NPN25.137-92 now? That could be the reason you don´t receive any further OTA updates.

Your bootlader version should be visible when you boot into stock recovery.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wiceqq:
Yes, I must have flashed pretty wrong firmware, and now I want to get back on the track. Though I dont remember and I dont have knowledge what was flashed before that. Now I wonder what should be my next step in order to have latest European nougat, or oreo.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
Flash latest european firmware NPN25.137-93-14 via fastboot. It can be found somwhere here in the Moto G 5+ threads or you can download it with Lenovo Smart Assistant: https://support.lenovo.com/de/de/downloads/ds101291

That should keep you back on track.

If you can't wait you can update to Oreo with the available OTA found here:

https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/how-to/download-official-moto-g5-g5-plus-t3848246/post77856408 ( Read OP of that thread to find out how). But as I posted above there's a newer nougat firmware out in the US so you may not receive future Oreo updates if you use this OTA.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wiceqq:
Need an advice: I'm currently on POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10, OTA says i can update it to POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-14.. Then I could get Oreo OTA from the thread above. In case of any further trouble: will it be safe to return to nougat POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-10 via fastboot? If yes, if then I update again to POTTER_NPNS25.137-93-14, it is safe to take nougat OTA again? And then oreo OTA again? Hope you get my point.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
No, that's not safe. Downgrading is always a risky thing because of the bootloader and taking OTA after that could completely hardbrick your phone.

So if you're once on 93-14 you shouldn't flash an older firmware than this. Same applies to downgrading from Oreo to Nougat.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wiceqq:
Well, in case of firmware, I cannot find direct 93-14 fastboot rom for download. I have found 93-10 only, that's why I'm concerned about not having the most up to date rom version on my hard drive to flash in case of<>.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Wolfcity:
You can download it with Lenovo Smart Assistant, worked for me. I can give you a mirror too, here it is:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1e4VLFL0FzXsTycC78LPRxHaPqX8MJ3iy/view?usp=drivesdk
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wiceqq:
Thank you. What in case I'm unlocked and in order to use google pay I need custom recovery and flashing magisk. How do i get back to stock oreo recovery then? I know it's a bit of offtopic, but maybe you can help me.

[Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers] Ebony Dubois:
OK, I'm at my limit here. I've been tampering with this phone a lot of time, I have it since 2016. Right now I'm not using it but I wanna give it away as a gift. The thing is, when I turned it on, it didn't detect the SIM card, so I wanted to flash the Stock Rom back to see what would happen. I did that, same deal.

So now the phone boots up, but I have no way of making calls, receiveing messages, etc.

Here's the list of things that I did:

Unlocked Bootloader

Rooted (right now I'm unrooted)

Installed TWRP 3.0.2.0 recovery.

Flashed all kinds of new custom ROMs

Installed Stock ROM via EMUI microSD (dload folder method)

Installed an unpacked Stock ROM (UPDATE.APP) via fastboot

I hope I can fix it somehow, I've tried installing other ROMs, taking out the SIM card and testing other ones, testing different versions of TWRP, ADB sideloading, blahblahblah. Any help is appreciated, as every thread that I find about this phone is extremely outdated and most links are down.

PD: Phone is a Huawei y6 SCL-l03 from Argentina, I use it with Telefonica, Personal company.
[Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers] Ebony Dubois:
If it helps: when I tried to manually install the UPDATE.APP from the stock ROM via fastboot, the "CUST.IMG" failed to "write". I heard it has to do something with the kernel, I have absolutely no idea. OS worked anyways, just in case I reinstalled everything through EMUI.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rorydaredkign:
I just thought that amidst all the abusing by various people, and asking and begging etc, the people who actually have the rom should post their findings on it so far. Maybe say what os u used to flash, and then any problems you have had with it.

I used XP SP2 32 bit, and these are the bugs ive found:

1)I have this weird thing with the battery where even after being on 80% at night, then charging overnight, both pocketplus4 and resco today say its on 95%. The light is also green before i pull the charger out.

2)I had a problem with wisbar not showing the full start menu, in that some parts only had icons and no text, but a reinstall fixed this.

3)Opera also doesnt load my homepage properly. I have set it to the athena mobile 6 forum, and whenever i load it, it goes to www.htc.com. But when i click settings, it userdefined is selected and its the right URL.

4)Theres no top line on the tabs at the bottom in settings just the lines between "personal" "system" and "connections", ill post a screen shot if needed...

5)finally, audio sometimes doesnt resume when i pause a video and resume it.. but the video does..

Im not trying to complain here, just thought it would be good for the team to ahve somewhere to look to see the bugs people have, and maybe you can try and iron them out for the full release. that is why there was a prerelease after all.

Fianlly, please REFRAIN FROM POSTING unless you have the rom.

If your device has been "bricked" by the prerelease spl, please post in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=385148 not here.

Solutions to bugs:

The battery bug:

no soultion yet

Opera Homepage bug:

instead of going to a page, then settings and clicking use current page, copy the url, and click user defined and paste the link there

The settings tabs graphic problem:

Solved by a hard reset. a hard reset may also solve all graphics problems

The audio not resuming problem:

disable wow hd [ people said this, i tried it, didnt work for me]

Thanks to the team for all their hard work!

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mardibloke:
3) Opera homepage was wierd for me in not working initially when I set it but ok now.

Think what I did different was to set it in "User Defined"

Its not obvious but you can finger scroll the opera settings pages down to show more options

4) Line is ok for me, running RealVGA 96dpi

5) try turning off WOW HD Settings
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] ol2:
AP4 works great for me. Other than a few missing icons I have zero problems. The battery (new) shows 100% when fully charged.

Agile Messenger

http://www.agilemobile.com/

is an example of several applications that appear to install fine, but when you try and run them, don't start. Maybe a WM6.1 problem rather than AP4.0 ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] darkjedi:
I REALLY do not like Agile anymore. First, they charge. Second they send your password as plaintext! How stupid is that???

And yes I do have the 95-96% battery bug.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rhedgehog:
Flashed using XPSP2 - followed the PDF exactly by updating radio to 1.57 first and then installing enableRAPI.cab before starting the update process. Have flashed before so did not need to install the drivers from boot loader mode, they were already there.

1: Task Manager icon missing at 96dpi

2: logmein seems to be an issue with WM6.1

3: camera album hangs when opening a video, needing a soft reset

4: WMP will not open in Portrait orientation in 96dpi.

5: The comm manager is still only filling a quarter of the screen in 96dpi mode.

6: Device hangs when trying to open BT SAP settings in 96dpi.

I know some people have mentioned issues with the USB to PC storage mode, but i have not tried this yet, but will report back when i do.

gonna keep testing to see what i can find and update this as i find them.

EDIT:

Fixed no. 4. - Whenever i tried to open WMP in 96dpi portrait it simply crashed and closed again. fixed in the following steps.

set real VGA back to 192 and reboot device

open WMP in portrait.

Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.

Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)

Once it has appeared on the screen, tap OK and then close WMP.

reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.

This was exactly the same way i used on the WMP bug in AP2/3.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] darkjedi:
USB to PC storage actually worked VERY well for me :D Saved me from having to download WM5torage.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cjmedina:
I haven't had any of thoose problems. I flashed it via xp and just clicked on the athena wrapper. my thoughts so far is that its a nice rom some annoying problems I had were the screen oriention changing when ever I soft reset. soultion was to copy the toggle to windows\startup and reset and it won't change by itself. as for opera I hated the 9.5 so I uninstalled and installed 8.65 I cant get tomtom to install on this rom. but was able to run route 66. had problems with palringo(im client) and it upgrades itself. I installed schaps configurator and maxed at all the settings. runs super fast now! questions I have for the team is why do they recommend upgrading to 1.57 radio? im using 1.38 with out any problems. another is does the new home screen require net frame 3.0 to run? or why include it in the rom. if im wrong correct me but isn't it a beta?

overall good jobs guys
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] mardibloke:
tomtom 6.03 installed and running fine for me.

Only odd thing is that as you drive screen keeps swapping between landscape and portrait, so just used the icon to disable auto rotate.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] marka2k:
What about a option for no bugs?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] cjmedina:
another thing i just noticed is that the device runs much qiucker using the netcf 2 rather than the 3 thats installed on it. another thing i noticed is that if your sending a message using the attached keyboard when your typing the sender it wont pre guess it. but if i use the sip it works fine
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] beginner:
still existing the problem with the watch, as for AP 3. The phone each time you reset moves the zone to GMT +2

I don't understand the brick advice. It is a regular update of rom.

There too much programs no needed, still waiting for a vainilla version.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] rhedgehog:
Now i see what you mean by the battery bug. I had not noticed it previously.

If i charge the device to 100%, showing in the settings menu, DCI battery bar, and also green light, as soon as i unplug the device, it drops to 96% almost immediately. I can actually watch the battery bar clicking down each percent over around 15 seconds!!

Windows media player not opening in portrait at 96dpi has been solved, simply go back to 192 and open WMP in portrait. Got to menu/options and select the skins tab.

Wait for the skin to appear (this will take several seconds)

Once it has appeared on the screen, tap ok and then close WMP.

reset VGA to 96dpi and you're good to go.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Confucious:
Have you read nothing on AP4.0? It certainly ISN'T a regular update of ROM!
