Almost all owners of MEIZU smartphones are sooner or later, it is necessary to deal with the need to update, reinstall or shift the Flyme OS type on your device. About what operations it is possible to spend with system software on one of the most popular manufacturer models, will be discussed in the article - consider several ways to firmware M3 Note.

Some features of the Android-devices of Meizu do not allow to carry out the reinstalling of their OS operations in such wide limits, as in the case of the devices of many other manufacturers. However, the update and rollback of the version of the mobile operating system on the M3 Note smartphone, as well as the full reinstallation of the firmware is completely realized by the user of the device independently and in the "home conditions". At the same time, do not forget:

Any of the procedures described in the article under certain conditions and / or the influence of individual factors can damage the smartphone! All recommendations from the material are performed by the user at their own discretion and at their own risk!

Important information and preparation for the firmware

Before switching to the fulfillment of relatively simple instructions for reinstalling Flyme OS on Meizu M3 Note, we recommend carefully to study the following information, as well as learn how some concomitant firmware is carried out.

Modifications of smartphone

There are all four modifications of Meizu M3 Note - two of them, produced for the China market, are characterized by indexes. M681Q. and M681C. , and two others - M681h and L681h - Designed to implement around the world.

Correctly define the index of the model model you are going to flash, it is extremely important - it depends on the choice of the firmware possible for a safe and efficient installation of the firmware type, which is discussed in the next section of our article.

1. To find out the modification of it is possible to look at the label located on the packaging of the device, is the only method to get a 100% reliable result:

   

2. If the device box is not survived, the model index is calculated by the serial number of the device, which can be found by going in the Flyme OS environment along the "Settings" path - "On the phone" ("About Phone"):

   

   Note that this method is not 100% reliable, since by certain manipulations displayed by the phone the serial can be changed!

   

   Look at the beginning of the serial number. If the first is the letter "L", the modification of the present apparatus - L681h.

   

   The situation when the number "91" goes first in the value of the number, means that the index of your device begins on "M". If after "91" there is "q" or "s", then you are modified M681Q. or M681S. respectively. And, finally, if after the first two digits there is "h" - then we can assume (repeat, not 100%) that you have a smartphone MEIZU M3 Note in your hands M681h.

Types of firmware, download links

Chinese and international devices operate by default on one of the two types of firmware - "A" ( Universal ) and "G" ( Global ) respectively. The main thing from the point of view of the usual user from our country, the difference between these solutions is the lack of Russian localization in the first and presence of the second interface.

The last of the existing Flyme OS assemblies for Mason M3 notes (at the time of writing the article support the model the manufacturer is discontinued, the release of new firmware is not planned):

1. Stable:
   • "Global". On the basis of Android 5.1 - 6.3.0.0G.
   • "Universal." On the basis of Android 5.1 - 6.1.0.0A. ; On the basis of Android 7.1 - 6.3.0.3A.
2. Beta.:
   • "Global" - 6.7.4.11g (Android 5.1).
   • "Universal" - 7.8.4.25 (Flyme OS 7, Android 7).

Download Global firmware (G) MEIZU M3 Note smartphone from an official site

Download Universal Firmware (a) MEIZU M3 Note Smartphone from an official site

In terms of the possibility of installing different types of systems on devices with different indexes, it is necessary to note the following:

1. M681Q. and M681C. - "relatives" firmware for these modifications are the build "A", but when changing the identifier of the device to the international can be set by the Flym OS "G".
2. M681h - In the production, "G" is installed in the production, which should control the device under the manufacturer's plan, renewing during its life cycle. At the same time install Flyme OS "A" on the devices of this modification, it is possible, but it will be necessary to change the identifier to the "Chinese".
3. L681h - As in the case of M681H, the factory firmware modification "L" - Global. Mase Mason Owners Music L681H must take into account a very important point - in any way you can not try to install "A" - Cars (Universal) Flym OS! Replacing the identifier in the case of this modification is meaningless!

   The violation of the said "Rules" leads to "Okirpichivaniya" of the smartphone, unreasonable without specialized tools (programmer), which are not available to the usual user!
