Instructions on how to reflash the Meizu M5 smartphone to a new version of Android (Flyme OS), using the standard recovery menu or SP Flash Tool, complete Russification of the Meizu M5 smartphone, getting root.

There are several ways to officially flash Meizu M5 firmware, for the simplest you need:

And so first download the required firmware. Please note that on the Chinese version of Meizu M5 you can only install firmware with the index “A”, “Y”, “C”, and on the international version of Meizu M5 you can install any firmware, that is, “G”,”I”, “A” , “Y”, “C”

Download firmware for Meizu M5 “G” Global (international) – Flyme OS 5.2.10.1G

Turn off your Meizu M5 smartphone and with the phone turned off, hold down the “power” and “volume +” buttons, after the logo appears, release the power button while continuing to hold down volume up until the recovery menu appears .

Once in the standard Recovery Meizu M5 menu, you will see only two items and two buttons. The first point is responsible for directly flashing the device’s firmware, while the second point is for clearing all data on the phone. To correctly flash the smartphone firmware, you need to check both boxes, as in the photo above.

Then, using the supplied cable, connect the Meizu M5 phone (without leaving recovery mode) to your PC (the operating system does not matter), the phone will be recognized as a USB drive and a folder called Recovery will automatically open. Copy the previously downloaded firmware in the “update.zip” format to this folder.

Once the copying is complete, disconnect the phone from the PC and click the Start button. The process of checking the firmware file will start and only after a successful check will recovery begin to flash the phone. Typically, flashing the Meizu M5 firmware takes 5 to 10 minutes, after which the smartphone will reboot on its own and be ready for use.

Launch the Flashtool program, look for the Download tab, open the Download Agent field and set DA_PL.bin
We take Scatter from the archive in the Images folder, then click on the preloader field and give the path to preloader_M1611.bin in the Images folder. (There should be no Russian characters in the path to the files)

Attention:In the Download tab we do not do anything else and do not change

Restoring Meizu M5 after unsuccessful firmware

There is a short introduction. While the bootloader on your meizu m3 mini is not unlocked, you will not be able to flash some regions using this instruction (for example EMMC_BOOT - where the preloader is located). So for severe cases, such as information corruption in EMMC_BOOT, etc., this instruction is currently not suitable. Corrected (patched) images will also not be sewn.

1. Download SP Flashtool with our scatter file.
2. Install drivers from the VCOM Drivers archive folder
3. Launch flash_tool.exe, the developer recommends running it by right-clicking and selecting “Run as administrator”.
4. Select Download-Agent -> DA_PL.bin, Scatter-loading File -> MT6755_Android_scatter.txt (scatter3 on the screen, don’t pay attention, just an old screen).
We also click in the Location column opposite the partition that we want to flash (recovery in the example) and select the appropriate image. I don’t post the images themselves because everyone who was able to brick the body probably has them, and besides, it’s worth taking the images from the version of the firmware that is on the body.

5. I note that it is probably worth making a dump of what is currently stitched on the body. Backup has never harmed anyone
Lines have been added here that almost completely cover the flash, for example EMMC_USER is backed up to the cache section.
If someone wants to backup a specific section, add a line with the Add button, double-click on the added line, select where and with what name we will save the backup, then in the newly opened window, select the region from which we want to backup, from which address to start and how much byte read. This information can be viewed in the scatter file (fields region, linear_start_addr, partition_size)
– Next, click the Read Back button. The flash drive enters the device standby state.
– Take the switched off phone, hold down the Vol+ button (this is mandatory) and connect it to the USB port of the computer. The flash drive will download DA to the body, after which information on our chip will appear under the picture of the black smart phone.
If this did not happen, but error information was displayed, re-read what was written above again, you definitely did something wrong as described here.
6. The backup is done, it’s time to sew. We go back to the Download tab and here we do all the same manipulations as when creating a backup, namely:
– click the Download button;
– take the switched off phone, hold down the Vol+ button (this is mandatory) and connect it to the USB port of the computer.
FlashTool will start the firmware and when it is finished you will see this notification
