MEIZU M5 Note Firmware

Almost all the procedures about which are described in the following material, in some cases and / or as a result of the influence of various factors, independent of the user and accuracy, may result in damage to the device! Recommendations from the article are not guidance to action, you are applied at your own accord and at your own risk!

Training

Familiarization with the following preparatory operations and their implementation in advance either immediately before the firmware will almost definitely ensure the correct choice of the appropriate objective of the OS installation method in one way or another. Meizu M5 Note (M5N) and the effectiveness of its use.

Modifications of Device.

MEIZU Android Device Dissemination Scheme and the manufacturer's implementation is not the only version of the M5N model according to the M5N model, are conditionally divided into two main categories:

• M621h - "International" version;
• M621Q., M621S., M621m. - "Chinese" versions.

To determine how exactly the M5N model will have to deal, the easiest way to serial number of the present instance of the device, which can be detected on its package, as well as in the "settings" of Flyme OS, opening them section "On the phone". The first three digits of the serial are always 621, and the following literature indicates a modification.

Types of system software, loading firmware

Official firmware created for the model under consideration exist in two versions:

• "A" - by default can be installed on the "Chinese" phone modifications.

  Download A-firmware ("Chinese") for Meizu M5 Note C Official Site



• "G" - designed for the "international" version of the device.

  Download G-firmware ("International") for Meizu M5 Note C Official Site

The best solution for users of Mase M5 laptop from our region is g-firmware, as they (in contrast to A-assemblies) provides the possibility of using a Russian-speaking interface. At the same time, the "Chinese" versions of the telephone operating system should not be ignored when the system is selected for daily use - the main advantage of A-versions of Flyme OS is a more common update output and the presence of some important for individual users, but missing "G" systems, functions.

It is important to understand that the hardware modification "H", "q", "M", "C" of the smartphone does not differ, and by the definite, described below in the article (instruction "Changing the identifier" in the "Method 3" section) of the "Chinese" manipulation The version of the device can be "turned" into "international" and vice versa.

Flyme OS installation packages of various types and versions are best downloaded from the Official Meizu site by clicking on one of the above links. In addition, the latest versions of stable OS assemblies for the model and other options for firmware, as well as all files involved in examples, you can get, using links in the instructions from this material.

Check regional ID

As it should be clear from the above, you can install a M5 M5 Mase on your instance, regardless of the modification as the Flym OS "A" and "G". It is imperative to check the smartphone ID before installing the desired type of firmware. A little closing ahead (performed before installing the OS, before and after the identifier change), the instructions for the implementation of the specified verification:

1. If this was not done earlier, activate the privileges of the superuser on the smartphone.
2. Check regional M5N identifier is carried out through Terminal Emulator for Android (Developer Jack Palevich. ) - Download and install this application from Google Play Market or locate and install using Meizu App Store.

   Download the Terminal Emulator for Android app from Google Play Market



3. Run the terminal, write in its window to get a superuser privilege command - SU, tap "Enter" on the virtual keyboard.

   

   In the window-request request for the Rut-Rights tool, tap "Allow", in the following - install the "Remember My Choice" mark and tap "allowed".



4. Next, send the following indication through the console:

   CAT / DEV / BLOCK / MMCBLK0P28

   

   As a result, the "Terminal" will return the answer in the form:

   Eight_tile_m5note



5. The set of numbers clarified in the previous step - and there is an identifier of a smartphone that is interpreted as follows:
   • 62101002., 62101001., 62101005. - China ID (you can install the A-system);
   • 62151001 - Global ID (can be installed G-assembly OS).

Account Flyme.

To access the M5 Note manufacturer provided within the framework of the M5 Note Ecosystem (in particular, the creation of information backup is one of the simplest in the case of the methods model) and, most importantly, the possibility of activating root privileges in the Flyme OS environment, you will need a Meizu account. Therefore, when preparing for the firmware of the device, it is recommended to take care of the presence of access to the specified profile in advance, log in to it from the phone.

If you have not created an account yet and do not know how to do this, refer to the following instructions:
