1. Yes, I'm talking about global firmware on global phone version.

2. I have no major bugs, but one that pisses me off: notifications aren't working with some apps, like I never get any from Inbox app and I don't like it. Still, not a big deal. Used to have a brightness jumps when the phone was unlocked, but then it disappeared somehow. Color adjustment is ****ty for that amoled display by default for every of these devices, they will have to fix it. No other bugs so far. And, yeah, I used to play games on this device, never had a problem with anyhting but usual compatibility stuff that happens sometimes with new games, now I'm a simple user that uses a phone for whetever necessary when my tab isn't around.

3. I've been using different third-party apps to check on battery statistics, so I never knew there is such a bug haha, but I dropped that due to no more reason and, yeah, when I've noticed the battery charge % went down by 20 over a night, I've been a little surprised and looked into a built-in manager only. But I'm surfing through 4pda forum, there are a lot of ppl that were testing battery and settings too. You might want to check on it, may be. Tho it has never been a big problem to me, especially since I got a 20k powerbank.

When I stopped playing games, the phone uses 70% over approximately 20h. Charged it yesterday for 99% (instead of 80%, forgot about it). Charged it again today at a level of 30%, around 20h passed, may be 19. I've been using it for several hours today for messaging, socials and surfing, wi-fi only. With LTE on it loses the charge pretty quickly, that's true, but which phone doesn't?

As for me, the optimisation is quite good for a Meizu device. Also, there is no perfect device that will be able to work forever or something, if only huawei will start a new era of graphene batterries as they promised, who knows how capable they will be, or ppl will have to discover something else.

In total, I'm pretty pleased with this device, really. Ofc I would love to have a custome recovery and flash a better firmware... But I dind't want to wait for OP 6t, so I've just accepted Meizu's inperfection both in soft- and hardware, no reason to crash around.

Hi,

Any news about unlock bootloader for global version ?

Root global version ?

Thanks you
[Device Reviews and Information] migmeil:
another that is waiting for the unlocking
[Device Reviews and Information] satmaster:
..it's already a very long waiting ???
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
haha, 2 months? Come one!

Btw, isn't it great that your phone is one of the most protected? ;D
[Device Reviews and Information] Braindeadz:
Its very sad to use this phone without root, it can be perfect if it's possible.

Do you know what and who we waiting ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Braindeadz:
After flash chinese rom is it possible to come back on global rom ?
[Device Reviews and Information] aladdiniii:
I have the Chinese version, and I have to say I do not see many of the issues you guys report, and the battery life is great. What I dislike though is how painstaking it was to get Google apps to work well on this phone, and even now it feels the phone is constantly fighting Google apps. I use Nova launcher, and the experience feels not too bad.
[Device Reviews and Information] Braindeadz:
I tried the Chinese firmware but I really don't like it, a lot of bloatwares, really bad for me.

Now I'm waiting for root global version, for your information it's easy to go back in global version, download it, flash it, profit.

If you don't find download link, ask me.
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
Yeah, u can swap freely.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Y r u worried about a bloatware? U have root, just delete anything u don't want, eh?
[Device Reviews and Information] Braindeadz:
You are right, I can uninstall the bloatwares manually but meizu didn't give me root accces yet, still waiting.

I need french language on the firmware too, my English is not bad but it's more confortable for me with my native language.

I prey for TWRP and magisk root.

I'm waiting but if I don't have choice, I reinstall Chinese firmware.

ViperFX on Chinese firmware

Guys if any of you want to install ViperFX and fix bluetooth audio issues, here's the tutorial: ViperFX on meizu16th;)
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
Better check if someone makes a localization for your language - probably more chances to get it soon.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

did u check the availability of aptx on chinese firmware? Ppl say there in none, they also think global doesn't have it. That's a pretty saddening fact if so.
[Device Reviews and Information] RaiLRaZ:
I can't check APTX since I don't have any headphones which support it unluckily. I've only tried with my airpods, which uses AAC.
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
Oh, I see, thanks for the reply tho.

Just in case u ever would need it: there is a way to check it with programs, but root is needed, that's why I can't check it @ global
[Device Reviews and Information] RaiLRaZ:
what's the app that allows to check it? If you provide me more details, I can ask to some friends to test with their headset! Let me know :)
[Device Reviews and Information] painterKDM:

I can enable it in my global 16th developer options,under Bluetooth audio codecs. If it works that I do not know seeing I never knew option existed till reading this thread

TWRP

https://dianariyanto.com/twrp-recovery-meizu-16th-plus/

has anyone tried this?
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
I've found a way to check w/out root, ty! :)

Well, sometimes having a switch doesn't mean it will trigger something :) That was the case I've heard of, and I've checked it myself: there is an aptx codec, I was relieved to know that!
[Device Reviews and Information] RaiLRaZ:
Have you tried to download those files listed there? you will see how fake is it:cyclops:
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
Oh, if you will, let us know lol

It's said to be for 16th plus and there is not enough information to install this or wasn't I reading carefully enough? Had to use a translation, it's not that good I must admit.

does not seem to be available for the global rom?
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
as said, it's a launch of beta. I believe only stable releases will be available for global.
[Device Reviews and Information] tarsonis666:
Yeah well. There is no info how the heck one register for this and the flyme forum is one big mess. Does it go with the global version?

Update fixed my meizu calender apk always crashing when opened
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
There will be no update for global firmware allowing rooting ever. There only may be a method with a bypass that will hack the security, flash root permissions and install a custom recovery.
[Device Reviews and Information] Braindeadz:
I actually selling my 16th on eBay, I can't use a phone without root permission.

I don't want a Chinese ROM too.

We actually can't flash the recovery too.

Useless device.

So sad.
[Device Reviews and Information] satmaster:
Yeah..it seems, that I will end same.. so sad :((
[Device Reviews and Information] Braindeadz:
I understand, if we don't need a rooted device, go buy an iphone. :eek:

[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
OP 6T? Huawei mate 20 rs? ;)

At what price are u selling ur phones? I guess I might be doing the same if I find a little more to buy an OP 6T...
[Device Reviews and Information] Braindeadz:
Too big for me, I prefer less than 6 inch. Pixel 3 is perfect for me, but the price...
[Device Reviews and Information] satmaster:
Yeah..I had OP6 8/128 before this Meizu, but I sold it because of it's size.. Meizu 16th has just an ideal dimensions 4 me..But that sw&dev support sucks ?
[Device Reviews and Information] Braindeadz:
I sold my meizu 16th on eBay. Continue with my S8. Good luck ++
[Device Reviews and Information] PartyVirginX10:
This phone is no good without root and custom rom. Made a mistake buying this and not 6T as planned.
[Device Reviews and Information] aiden10:
You can install any treble arm64-aonly rom. I tested aex and pixel experience. Everything work fine. Expect fingerprint. But as i know fingerprint doesnt work on any phone with inscreen fingerprint scaner. You just need unlocked bootloader. Now i built twrp and installed aex+magisk(also you can install treble via fastboot or dd if). Good luck with your s8.

PS. And i will tell you more. I just built dualbootpatcher with 16th's support. Not tested yet. I need make treble rom for dbp. But i am sure it will work :)

PPS unlocked bootloader is not enough to install twrp. Also you need hacked abootloader(abl, ablbak), and some other hacked partitions. It allow you to use all fastboot commands like fastboot boot ..., fastboot flashing unlock_critical and ...). allow to install unsigned recovery images and etc
[Device Reviews and Information] Weild Hayn:
OMG, can you stay a thread for this? Pleaseeeee :3
[Device Reviews and Information] deleater:
DAMN, are you real lol? I've almost gave up on my hopes of customizing this phone, but you wrote THIS!!

Is is possible that you will share the way and tools to hack it? And the ROM you are working on ofc?
[Device Reviews and Information] migmeil:
[MENTION=8952406]aiden10[/MENTION] We hope that what has been said may be true, waiting impatiently to be able to touch the 16th
[Device Reviews and Information] aiden10:
If you not believe me then I will try to make video. Its no problem. Problem is in bootloader. My bootloader was unlocked in meizu's customer center. They just installed engineer firmware and this rom unlocked my bootloader. Then i just tested treble roms.

PS. I know guys who got 16th from aliexpress with unlocked bootloader. I recommend ask sellers about it or ask them to unlock it. And i do not know is fake or not but some chineses can unlock bootloader for $10

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 AM ----------

If somebody know which partition consists info about bootloader status then i can give that partition from my hacked phone(i think its devinfo). Then you can flash it via terminal emulator using "dd if". Its potentially danger. And phone can be bricked. This way can be tested only guys who have meizu's custservice near home. For example, my old meizu m6 note was hacked via patched devinfo. If somebody need some files from my hacked 16th, then i will attach it here. Just tell me
[Device Reviews and Information] migmeil:
[MENTION=8952406]aiden10[/MENTION] I'm not saying that I do not believe you, I say it would be great to know if in the future it will be possible to install twrp, root and custom roms
[Device Reviews and Information] aiden10:
[youtube]WFkTzTD-fyg[/youtube]
[Device Reviews and Information] Flounderist:
A good starting point would be providing for the partition scheme, using the adb commands:

su

cd /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name

ls -all

once you located the bootloader partition, you can dump it using

dd if=/dev/block/{YOUR ABOOT PARTITION} of=/sdcard/aboot.img

Use this article as a reference

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-discover-hidden-fastboot-commands/

The best option would be leaking a developer/engineer firmware you mentioned before.

Flashing the unlocked bootloader via fastboot would easily brick a device with standard firmware IMHO.
[Device Reviews and Information] weildhayn:
Hey, I am not sure if this option is available on global meizu16 but I think I know a way to unlock china version bootloder.

- Activate Developer option through: Settings > About phone > build number (Tap 7 times)

- Pull down status bar and expand quick access drawer and select Dev option

- toggle OEM unlocking

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

I don't know what I should do for the next steps though. It would be great if someone can point me the right direction. ^^
[Device Reviews and Information] aiden10:
Its fake toggle
[Device Reviews and Information] Flounderist:
Every device has this toggle in Dev Options, toggling this button does nothing by itself anyway.

OEM must ship device with unlockable bootloader via fastboot on the go or using a code (like Sony or xiaomi do) associated to the device IMEI.

Meizu usually doesn't allow it either ways, as far as I know.

[Device Reviews and Information] weildhayn:
Aww man, then I guess we're back to square one. :(
[Device Reviews and Information] Flounderist:
Not yet. If [MENTION=8952406]aiden10[/MENTION] was able to unlock bootloader and flash some treble stuff, a workaround is available.
[Device Reviews and Information] weildhayn:
But his bootloader is custom, no? How to even extract it and flash it as our own?
[Device Reviews and Information] Flounderist:
Ad said, the better option would be getting the developer/service firmware with unlock bootloader permissions.

Another Chinese device, LeEco LePro 3 Elite X722, has been hacked using a dev firmware.

Qfil even cant read partition info(table)
[Device Reviews and Information] Flounderist:

UFS

Just a thought but I had trouble flashing Zuk Edge via QFIL. I had to set to Metabuild and have configuration/FireHose Configuration on "UFS", "0 No Validation" and "reset..." but you might maybe tried that way already. Edit I believe the phone has UFS 2.1 storage so having QFIL set to Emmc would fail

Hello All,

I posted this in the V30 forums, as I own a V30, but was told to go here. Does anybody know if there is a working version of LG's most recent Home apk?
